The Youngest Son of Sunyang

On December 7, I woke up especially early.

My grandfather had already given me a score, but I remained nervous.

When I went out to pick up the morning paper, it was noisy in front of the gate. It's a quiet residential neighborhood. I've never seen such a commotion. The camera flashes and Mike covers his face as he opens the door to see what's going on.

“Jin-do Jun? ”

“Progress student? Right?”

December, 6: 00 a.m. was dark, and I didn't see anything because of the flash that exploded. I closed the gate in a hurry.

What's going on?

My father in pajamas came down to the garden and yawned and patted me on the back.

“I'm here to interview you. ”

“No, I have to cover the head of the whole country if I'm qualified. Why me...? ”

“You don't know? High scores for the average head and grandchildren of the cruising group. Moreover, my father is the president of a film company, and my mother is a young actress who has not lost her beauty yet. Which would be more of a topic? ”

He smiled and pointed at the gate.

“Your grandfather just called. Make your grandfather feel better. You wanted to show off. ”

Oh, my God. Do you want to show off your grandchildren with a lot of money but little?

“Give me a quick interview. By the way, don't forget to say thanks to your great parents during the interview. ”

“Father, I don't recall you helping me with my studies. ”

“I have not stressed or nagged you because of my excessive expectations of my children. A reasonable room is the best virtue as a parent. Don't forget. ”

I was successful in a few movies and became an indisputable producer president in Chungmuro, so I could see my father's hidden face.

I don't lose my clever, relaxed smile. A rare sense of humor. There was also a Western mind that treated his son as a human being, not a child.

The library was already cleaned out, and Mother prepared tea and refreshments for the reporters.

“Joon, change into a uniform. That would suit you.”

I couldn't hide my heart to boast even my mother.

When I finished preparing for the interview, my mother brought the reporters in.

TV reporters came together with the cameraman, but my father, who knew the power of the video, began to tune.

“Let's turn off the camera. Isn't the material screen just a picture enough? You'll be out in less than 30 seconds. ”

“But one or two cuts must go... ”

“The horse disappears, but the video remains forever. I don't want to catch my kid's ankle. ”

“Ms. Jean, what can you tell me about ankle grabbing? ”

A TV news reporter laughed and said, but my father shook his head.

“Let's just do what I say. Turn off the camera."

I turned off the camera and started the interview.

From the beginning, direct questions were asked.

“Are you going to say, 'I studied textbook too'? ”

“No way. Did the grandson of the wealthiest man in the country only read textbooks? ”

A somewhat challenging answer tore the mouths of some journalists. Journalists are tired of interviews that look like student answers.

“Then...? ”

“Crab teachers by subject.... I've been one-on-one all year. I bet you reporters made ten years' salary just by spending it. ”

“ ……. ”

Is it too obvious? My father, who was watching when the reporters couldn't connect the questions, laughed and laughed.

“Where are you applying? ”

Again, the usual question.Seeing you stepping on it like a novice journalist.

“I'm applying to law school. ”

“Oh, is the judge the target? ”

“Yes.”

At this point, one reporter asked a provocative question again.

“Is it because you've been excluded from the Circuit Group Succession District? ”

For a moment, the journalist looked at my face and continued to ask questions.

“There are a lot of big fathers up there and a lot of cousins... You didn't think there was a chance he was the youngest of the Circle family? ”

I was embarrassed at first, but it was good. People who will see this interview will want to hear the answer.

“I didn't think of that.... Well, my parents live free. You do things that have nothing to do with cruise groups. So I didn't have a cruise group in mind either. ”

“Have you ever thought about whether being a lawyer would take a path unrelated to a cruise group or side support a cruise group? ”

Not anymore. This is the right amount. The more you talk, the more you interpret. I quickly changed the subject.

“I've never even thought about it. By the way, who is the Chief Scholar? ”

“Oh, Jeju is also a student... ”

“Higua or Moon? ”

“History.”

“That student, without tweezers like me, would be a genius or a tremendous effort if he were first in command. Oh, maybe both? ”

“Student Progress. Do you have any plans to study abroad... ”

I wanted to end it now. They have a story to write anyway.

“Hey, reporters. Go to Jeju for a cover story, and use my article to suit your grandfather's taste. That looks like an exact quote. You sent it from the desk to get an ad, right? ”

The reporters lost their words to make sure it was absurd.

“My grandfather is textbook oriented and would love to see the help of a reference, a problem paper. ”

The father who was watching, giggling, stepped out.

“Come on, let's get this over with. Oh, by the way, have you taken enough pictures? My son's picture... It's the first time in newspapers and broadcasts, so I'd like you to take the best one. Sure."

When my father cleaned up the journalists, he went upstairs to the room and started preparing for school. The phone rang just in time. Grandpa.

“Yes, Grandpa. ”

Did the interview go well?

“I just finished. ”

- Then come to your grandfather's house.

“Yes. After school... ”

- No, come right after breakfast. I put the phone in the school. You don't have to go.

You're not gonna boast about me after all these people, are you?

If so, it would be a horrific embarrassment, I'm afraid.

* * *

“Oh, my baby! Give me a hug.”

I only saw my grandfather with his arms wide open. I didn't worry about anything.

“Well done, and well done. ”

He patted my back and dragged me to the library.

My grandfather, who does not disappear laughter, said from my jeans what is so urgent.

“So, where do you want to go to school? America or Europe? ”

“I haven't thought about it yet. Can't we just take it slow? ”

Do you think he's going to send her abroad as soon as he graduates? That should never happen. If the future unfolds like before, grandfather will die within a few years.

How much work do we have to do before that?

I don't intend to go abroad as much as my fingernails.

“Yeah, it must have been hard studying, but it's not bad to take a break from college for a year or so. ”

Seeing grandfather's face, I was relieved. I didn't think I'd rush into it. Not only that, he opens his mouth with difficulty looking at my eyes.

“Still your dream, right? It hasn't changed, has it? ”

I was glad to ask the right questions at the right time. Rather, this is the moment I want to check.

“Well, I don't know. I want to do business like my grandfather, I want to make movies like my father... I don't think the judges will be bad... and I go back and forth. ”

Suddenly, I was relieved to see his face firmly fixed. I saw a willingness to engage me in management.

“Dojuna.”

“Yes.”

“A man. Nothing is more important than making a living. Is there anyone who thinks it's a joke? It's all because I like him. Some people are lucky enough to be rich with it. But the bottom line is, he wants to do it. ”

It's a little silly to say that it's so much more serious than I thought.

“Even if it's hard and you don't want to do it, a man has to make money. That's all."

“… Yes. ”

“This old man says, I want you to work on this grandfather cruise. I'd like to close my eyes when I see them grow bigger and build more, and become a group of tens or hundreds of times larger now. ”

Oh, my God, it's so obvious. It would be a big deal to tell others, especially to my older father.

“Grandpa.”

“Come.”

“Do you know who is the youngest son of the Taejo Seong system? ”

The wrong question, my grandfather only blinked.

“This is the next aisle of Lady Shindeok Kang, the heiress of the Lee dynasty. ”

“What are you trying to say? Why are you suddenly bringing up history? Don't you know you can't go to Grandpa's school? Uh-huh.”

“The rational side gave birth to six sons among the goddess Han. However, he ignored all the adult sons who had joined the battlefield and built the ball and sealed the childhood with a census of only 11 years old. ”

My grandfather stopped laughing and the way he looked at me changed.

“The foreigner died by the sword of Tai Jong, the other brother. I'm the prince, aren't I? ”

“That's right.”

I thought I shouldn't say anything, but I can't help it. Time is running out. If my grandfather's excessive affection or hasty heart is revealed, it can ruin things.

And I still remember. That Jin Joon died without giving up twenty.

The sharp gaze of grandfather who was staring at me as if stabbed me turned back to gentleness.

“Every Friday, there are a group of key people in the library. It's where you have the deepest conversations and the hardest decisions in the group. ”

“Yes, I know. ”

“In the future, you will have breakfast every Saturday with this grandmother. ”

It means letting me know the important decisions of the group every Saturday. It doesn't have to be good.

Check, recheck, double-check.

Isn't that the basics of everything? You should know the truth about your grandfather a little more.

“Grandpa, I'm still young. Even if Grandpa teaches you how to work for the company, you won't understand. ”

“Humble words don't suit greedy people. I'm not trying to teach you anything. I've already checked your bud, so I just want to make sure it's a vessel of great greed. Haha.”

Grandpa, no, Chairman Jin's laugh did not sound familiar.

It means that it is separate to inherit a great legacy from a great love for a wonderful grandchild.

Every Saturday, I thought I would see Chairman Jin, not Grandpa.

“Take a look at this and submit your answer sheet on Saturday. Let's see if you're as good as your aptitude. ”

I threw a pretty thick pile of paperwork at me.

“I wanted to rest for a year or so… but my JooJoon still needs to study. Haha.”

Grandfather stood up with a cheerful smile.

“Let's get out of here. I have something to show you. ”

Outside the main house, I went to the garage next to the annex and saw a dozen imported cars. How old do you think you are...? An old man's hobby costs a lot of money.

“There's a car I've never seen before. Did you buy again?”

“How many cars have you never seen? ”

“Three. Grandpa, stop riding in sports cars. It's dangerous."

Grandpa pulled out three car keys from his coat pocket.

“It's a gift from me. Thanks to you, I've lost ten years of weight. And at the New Year's Convention, when I think about yelling in front of the other presidents, I laugh. You should get a gift like this, cancer. ”

If I was a child, I would have been happy… Even watching a sports car in Germany and Italy would have been cruel.

But the thing that couldn't go unnoticed, I didn't get the car keys.

“I'll take Grandpa's gift after homework. Give one for each assignment you get. ”

Grandfather's hands stopped holding the key, and soon a smile spread over his face.
