The Hero Became Obsessed With The Villain [part 1 Complete]

Ch31: Quiz Show

"I kinda like that."

Drinking iced tea, I continued. Hmm, it's sweet.

"The... unbalance that is slightly given by the contrast of the atmosphere and the situation? For example, this kind of thing. Like in a fairy tale. The prince and the princess are living while laughing happily. They decided to gather the animal friends in the forest and have a party."

"It's a beautiful picture, isn't it? But this is where the variations are given. A handsome prince, a beautiful princess, a brave lion, a cute rabbit, and a laid-back turtle gathered. Together... Hmm, to sit and smoke cigarettes together."

"Wait, Da-in, why does it sound so weird?"

Seo-eun looked at me with a disgusted expression.

No, there's nothing to freak out about.

"I think I know what you're talking about."

"Soobin?"

When Seo-eun looked at Soobin with a startled look as if she had been betrayed, Soobin startled and shook her hand as if she was trying to say 'No, that's not what I mean'.

"No, I mean. I know what Da-in is talking about. Kind of like a cruel fairy tale? You're talking about that feeling, right?"

"Well, that's right. Something similar."

I nodded.

Actually, more than that... It's more like a drama based on a squid game.

Squid game, playing marbles, and picking dalgona.

Something that is very familiar to us and that makes us feel like children.

That sense of separation when those things are used for survival and death, not for fun games.

If you pick the right dalgona, you're not going to receive another dalgona as a gift. If you don't pick the right dalgona, you will die horribly. Such rules. Games with such rules are so cruel but funny and familiar at the same time. It gives a huge sense of separation.

...As I told them both, they both told me to stop talking gibberish but to speak it out. Seo-eun said it directly, while Soobin with her gaze.

And honestly, it's hard to understand that there's no drama in this world based on the squid game. Reducing one of Gukppong element, as a patriot I must say that it's so sad.

"So... That's what this terrorist attack is about?"

"That's right. Whatever it is, the concept of terrorism has to be clear. I've written the dilemma twice, so this time I'm going to go with the concept of a cruel fairy tale."

No, to be exact, it's just people's voices are gone.

People were just listening to the voices coming out of the speakers quietly, without saying a word.
