Legend of Legend - Chapter 3

<Legend of Legend(LOL)-Interview Day(2) >

Lee-joonhyuk would be able to go through the bus window he broke, but it was impossible for the elders.
Lee-joonhyuk swung his hammer and he dug out the glass from the window frame.

“I’ll hold onto you, so come over here one by one.”

The grandfather, who had tied Lee-joonhyuk’s leg, stepped forward first. The sack had held a small urn, and he put it to the side. Then he went over the window frame.

Lee-joonhyuk grabbed his hand, and he helped him outside. This was when he saw a familiar face. It was the rough looking man, who wouldn’t move his car. He spoke as he held onto the grandpa’s leg.

“I’ll catch him, so hurry up.”

“Thank you.”

As soon as the man received the grandpa, he hurried to pass over the other people. After passing 4 people, the last grandma left hesitated.

“Eh-goo. This looks hard.”

“I’ll grab onto you.”

“Still.”

Lee-joonhyuk looked at the narcoleptic patient’s car, which had fallen in through the roof. The vehicle’s bonnet was completely crushed, and he spoke as he looked at it.

“If we aren’t careful, it might explode.”

As soon as the grandma tried to stall, Lee-joonhyuk hurriedly approached the grandma, and he lifted her up. Blood was soaking through the sack tied to his left shredded shin, but he didn’t have time to worry about it.
Lee-joonhyuk passed the grandma through the window. The rough looking man outside spoke as he received the grandma.

“The gas is leaking. Hurry up and come out.”

“Please wait.”

Lee-joonhyuk approached the fallen vehicle. The person, who went into a narcoleptic sleep, was comfortably sitting in his driver seat even though his car had been totaled.
First, he had to lead the others to safety.

“Young man. The front door isn’t opening.”

“That’s what I thought, so I brought a hammer.”

Lee–joonhyuk smiled, and he hurriedly approached the window to break it. After he scraped the remaining glass off of the window frame, he realized he had left his dress jacket in the back.

“Shit.”

As he tried to hurriedly head back, his jumper was caught from the window. When he turned back, the rough looking man was smiling.

“Hurry up and get them off.”

Lee-joonhyuk quickly helped down the rest of the people left inside the bus. The only ones left was Lee-joonhyuk and the bus driver. Also, there was the person with the abnormal sleeping disorder, who had flown in through the roof inside his car.

Lee-joonhyuk decided to rescued the bus driver first. He tried to release the seat-belt, but it seemed to be broken.

“So many things are going wrong.”

He hit the seat belt with the hammer a couple times, and it became undone. Lee-joonhyuk quickly pulled the bus driver towards him. The unconscious bus driver’s body was really heavy.

Lee-joonhyuk clenched his teeth, and he put his strength into his arm. He was barely able to drag the bus driver to the window. When he reached the window, he leaned against it then he took a deep breath.

The sack around his shin couldn’t staunch the blood flow anymore. Lee-joonhyuk with all his strength slung the bus driver on the window frame, then he spoke.

“He is an abnormal sleep disorder patient.” (TLN: I’ll shorten it to ASD patient)

“So I almost died because of this guy?”

His words were harsh, but the man’s hands continued to help. Lee-joonhyuk passed over the bus driver, then he looked back. The only one left was the ASD patient, who was riding the car that flew in.

The car was crushed in half. Would he be able to rescue him?

“Hey. You get off too!”

The man outside shouted at him, but Lee-joonhyuk spoke one more time.

“I’m just going to check if it is possible to bring him down.”

Lee-joonhyuk approached the car, but he couldn’t open the crushed door. He agonized over it for a moment, then he looked towards the half broken front window. He rammed his shoulder into the window.

Ggeeee-geeeee-geek.

When he rammed into the window, the vehicle slid down more. If he wasn’t careful, he would be crushed. After he regained his breath for a moment, he pulled against the hanging window.

At that moment, he felt his eyes water. He hadn’t felt it up until now, but his side started to throb. He must have a broken rib.

“Are you some kind of rescue worker?”

Suddenly, he heard a voice next to him. He turned his head, and he saw the rough looking man.

“I’m not.”

“I thought you were some rescue worker trying to be some kind of hero. Move over.”

The man ripped the half hanging window in one try. Then he released the seat-belt of the driver inside the car.

“Hey. I’m going to pull him out. Do you think the car will fall more?”

“I’ll try to brace against it.”

“Fuck that. Is the car not going to fall, because you are bracing against it? Do you know how heavy a car is?”

“Still, I have to try it.”

Lee-joonhyuk grabbed the roof of the car with his hands, and he put his shoulder against it. As the other man saw this, he shook his head from side to side, then he started to carefully extract the driver.

Ggee-geeek.

As the patient inside was moved, the vehicle started to make louder noises. The man, who froze for a second, used all his might to pluck the driver out.

Lee-joonhyuk suddenly felt the weight transfer onto his shoulder, so he put his strength into it.
Fortunately, the vehicle hadn’t fallen, and it had held. The man dragged the driver out, and he escaped to the front.
Lee-joonhyuk was thankful everything went well, and he relaxed. As he was watching them, all of the weight suddenly transferred on him. His shoulders seemed like it would be severed. He couldn’t take the pain, so Lee-joonhyuk jumped backwards.

Kwa-doo-doo-dook.

If he was a little bit late, Lee-joonhyuk would have been crushed by the falling vehicle. He let out a sigh of relief, then he heard the man scream.

“Hey! You said the gas is leaking. Get off first!”

“Yes.”

Lee-joonhyuk approached the window he broke. He picked up an urn he saw on the side, and Lee-joonhyuk jumped over the window.
As the impact from landing on the floor transferred to his leg, his face crumpled. Lee-joonhyuk pulled his dress jacket to himself, and he started limping away.

When he turned his head, the rough looking man was leaving the front of the bus with the ASD patient in tow.

Lee-joonhyuk walked towards them to help. As soon as the ASD patient was dragged off, an explosion went off from the back.

Boom!

The vehicle, which had flown and embedded itself on the bus, exploded and the surrounding windows exploded. Lee-joonhyuk fell to the floor after being swept up in the aftershock. Lee-joonhyuk watched the bus start to burn alongside the car. He let out a sigh of relief. He realized how traumatic the events he got himself into was, and as soon as he realized that, his ribs started to hurt. On top of that, his shin throbbed.

Lee-joonhyuk saw a grandpa approach him. It was the grandpa, who had wrapped his wound. Lee-joonhyuk gave him the urn he was able to save.

“I was able to save this.”

“Thank you.”

As the grandpa received it, his surrounding was filled with claps. When he turned his head around, Lee-joonhyuk was able to see stalled cars, and many people were surrounding them.
The people were busy taking pictures. Lee-joonhyuk stood up, while making a pained noise.

The rough looking man asked Lee-joonhyuk a question.

“What is your name?”

“It’s Lee-joonhyuk.”

The man took out his business card, and he gave it to Lee-joonhyuk.

“My name is Park-chulho.”

Lee-joonhyuk carefully observed the business card, and he saw the logo with the name, Chulho Capital. At a glance, he was a moneylender. Lee-joonhyuk put the business card away.

“It is hard to find people with some balls these days. Do you want to work under me?”

“I’m going to an interview today.”

“Interview? You are going in that state?”

Lee-joonhyuk look down at his body, and he let out a deep sigh.

“I still have to attend it.”

Park-chulho shook his head then he spoke.

“You want a ride?” (TLN: he is speaking in a dialect/coarse form of speech)

“No. On a day like this, I’ll use the subway.

“I guess that’s for the best. Shit. I shouldn’t have brought my car on a Friday.”

Park-Chulho sighed as he spoke.

“Then go. I’ll take care of things here.”

“I’ll leave it to you then.”

When a ASD patient creates an accident, the W.A.N.C.S(World Abnormality Narcoleptsy Countermeasure Structure) would arrive to help.(TLN: now I’m going to think of it as wank…what an unfortunate acronym, those wankers are coming to help :P) The accidents were categorized as a natural disasters, so insurance covered it.

“We have to receive our insurance money, so call me later.”

“I’ll do that.”

If Lee-joonhyuk wanted to get treatment for his injuries, he had to receive a compensation from the insurance. Park-chulho was a witness, so he should have any problems receiving the compensation for the treatment.

Lee-joonhyuk entered the subway station, then he entered a pharmacy he was able to locate.  The pharmacist looked at Lee-joonhyuk with wide eyes.

“Are you ok?”

Lee-joonhyuk made an awkward smile.

“I’m not ok. Please bring me some disinfectant and some bandages.”

The pharmacist looked at Lee-joonhyuk’s injuries, and he spoke.

“Should I look at it?”

“If you would, I would be thankful.”

After the pharmacist brought the disinfectant and bandages, he unwound the sack tied around Lee-joonhyuk’s leg.

“My god.”

The pharmacist eyes widened from surprise. The name tag on his chest read Jo-jisun. After seeing his name, Lee-joonhyuk was about to open his mouth, but at that moment, the disinfectant was sprayed on the wound.

“Doc. Ggoooahhhhk!”

Lee-joonhyuk screamed, while grabbing onto Jo-jisun’s thigh. He spoke, while he pressed down hard with a gauze.

“Gut it out.”

“I, I…”

Even though he was told to gut it out, it didn’t mean he could. He couldn’t even grab onto Jo-jisun’s shoulder. While Lee-joonhyuk clawed at his thighs, Jo-jisun lightly patted him on the leg as he spoke.

“It’s done.”

Lee-joonhyuk looked down at his leg. The bandage was wound tightly around it. As he saw this, Lee-joonhyuk let out a sigh of relief then he stood up.

“Thank you.”

“It was nothing. Any ways, how did you get hurt?””

“ASD patients caused an accident.”

“Was it the accident that happened in front of here?”

“Yes.”

Jo-jisun spoke with a smile on his face.

“Take care of the receipt. The insurance will reimburse it.”

“Thank you.”

Lee-joonhyuk gave him his card.

“Please ring me up.”

“Wait a moment. I’ll put a band-aid on the wound on your head.”

It was only then Lee-joonhyuk realized his forehead was cut.

“I can do it.”

“Please stay still. It is rare for me to administer a wound like this.”

Jo-jisun had a slight smile as he poured the disinfectant on the wound located on his forehead.

“Ggooooook!”

He felt a burning sensation, and Lee-joonhyuk let out a groan. As if he enjoyed this, Jo-jisun kept on administering the wound as he smiled. Then he spoke.

“Still, the wound on the forehead isn’t too bad.”

Jo-jisun put a band aid with an animated character on Lee-joonhyuk’s wound. (TLN: children’s band aid )

“You might have to go to the hospital for the owund. You know this, right? This is only a first aid.”

Lee-joonhyuk replied after he touched his forehead with his hand.

“I will.”

Jo-jisun took the card being held out by Lee-joonhyuk’s opposite hand.”

“The disinfectant is 2000 won, and the bandage is 3000 won.”

“How about the band aid?”

Jo-jisun spoke after he swiped the card.

“It’s a service.”  (TLN: I’ll explain below)

“I’m glad I came here.”

Jo-jisun laughed with his eyes.

“If you think that then you can become my regular customer.”

“I guess I’ll become your regular customer.”

Lee-joonhyuk signed his name, and he took back his card. When he was about to open the door and leave, Jo-jisun yelled at Lee-joonhyuk’s back.

“Don’t forget to go to the hopital.”
