The Youngest Son of Sunyang

As I grasped the edge of the dying ritual, my mind was filled with resentment.

I didn't exactly remember the year that Jin Joon died, but I thought he was 20.

And I was angry with God's plan to end a second life with only ten years. I'm not kidding.

There was another.

I've only just gotten ready to start a long fight, but I haven't started, and I think it's more unfair to think of my money stacked up in my account. No. Are you already dying?

The last thing I felt most angry about was not being able to kneel before the family of Jean.

Damn it.

What kind of a life is this?

I can't believe both deaths are killers, so I have to carry only unfair and angry memories.

“Are you awake? ”

Bright light that won't open your eyes properly.

The crunchiness of the flickering fingers in your ears.

You didn't die? Or is it that after a big surgery, he's still playing with his life?

But I could feel my body twitching. Moreover, it looked vague in cloudy vision.

I saw it on TV or in a movie.

An ambulance?

“Ha… Hall…. ”

I had to tell him. Wouldn't he be a little more concerned about revealing the identity of the Circle Group Chairman?

“P-please don't tell me. … okay…. ”

I just buzzed in my ears, but I couldn't hear clearly. Does that mean it's okay?

“Th-through… group…. ”

“Yes? A cruise group? ”

“Chairman… ”

I blacked out again.

“Hey! You just said you were president of the tour group, right? ”

“Yes. The old man looked familiar somehow. ”

The paramedics looked at each other and immediately took out their cell phones.

“How's the patient? ”

- You're free! Hang up, asshole. “

“I think he's the president of the tour group. Check it out."

- Huff!

I heard a breathing sound on the phone, and I was annoyed again.

That's the face I saw on TV. Damn. This isn't a normal job...

“I'll call the hospital and make sure you're safe. If something goes wrong, our lives go to George. ”

Ambulances filled with grief, anxiety, worry and fear rushed to Chungcheongnam-do.

When medical personnel waiting outside the emergency room checked the condition of the patients coming in the ambulance, they were all exhausted.

“Your breathing is faint and you're bleeding a lot. I think my lower chest is crushed. Pelvis…."

“Okay, come on, let's run. ”

Even before the doctor said it, the medical staff ran with all their strength into the operating room.

The hospital staff, who did not run into the operating room, told the paramedics.

“What's the status of the following patients? ”

“Two are good and two are worse. But it's not that serious. ”

“Okay. Well done. ”

A sigh of relief that I just needed to save a middle-aged man who was in the O.R.

When I woke up again, I couldn't open my eyes properly because of the dazzling fluorescent light.

He's not dead.

No, surprisingly, I felt fine. What's going on?

I have no idea what happened while talking to my grandfather. Except it was a car accident.

When I became accustomed to the bright light of the fluorescent lamp, I searched my body first. One Ringer hanging all over the place.

My whole body aches, but a band as big as a parch is stuck.

“Oh, are you awake? ”

A cheerful nurse with a smile touched her forehead, wrist, and neck.

Immediately, a doctor in a white robe appeared and said with the flashlight in his eyes.

“Just look at my fingers and move your eyes. ”

I tapped the moving doctor's finger with my hand.

“How's Grandpa? Is he hurt a lot? What's the status?”

“There you go. You look fine. ”

The doctor turned off the flashlight and put it in the gown's pocket.

“Was your grandfather with you? ”

“Yes.”

“He's okay, too. I think he's gonna wake up soon. Only one of the five people involved is in surgery. Don't worry too much. ”

Five? How many people have been in an accident?

Curiosity should be dealt with backwards and on a need-to-know basis.

“Sir, this is my grandfather, the chairman of the tour group. Ask for action before the hospital gets noisy. ”

“Action?”

“Yes.”

The doctor frowned.

“What if the President of the Circle Group? What am I supposed to do, get special treatment for a minor car accident? We need to call the police. We need to know about the accident. This is a local National Medical Center. There's no VIP privileges. ”

I think the doctor misunderstood me. I think the privileged people are calling for special treatment.

“I don't want to be treated as a VIP. When you wake up, you'll find me first, so I have to be with you. And -- oh, no. I won't be able to stop it.... Thanks anyway, sir. ”

When the doctor looked at the nurse, the nurses walked the curtain and moved the bed.

“I'll run some tests first. ”

“Give me your guardian's contact information. I have to tell the truth about the accident…. ”

The nurses opened their mouths in succession.

“I can't do that right now. Let's meet Grandpa first. ”

It should be left to grandfather's judgment to inform the family of the car accident. It would be natural for ordinary people, but grandfather's car accident has the effect of causing the stock market in my country to run.

Do not leak unless it is an official announcement.

“Stubbornness... Okay, I'll send you to the same room as soon as I'm done. ”

* * *

As soon as he came to his senses, Jin told the nurse who was touching the sap in his arm.

“Oh, miss, your phone... ”

“Oh, Grandpa. He's awake. Call the teacher... ”

“Give me your phone. Come on!"

However, the nurse smiled, ignoring Chairman Jin's words.

“You need to rest now. I took a CT, but you're fine, so if you take a break... ”

“Oh, come on! ”

I was furious at the sound of thunderous whistling, and I reached out the phone I had in my back pocket. I heard that he's the chairman of the tour group... I thought it might be true.

After pressing the button for a long time to make sure he didn't remember his phone number, Jin was connected to the person he wanted after hearing a few harsh answers that were wrong.

# # #

“Yes, sir. I'll do it right away."

I didn't know you had an early morning call. Plus, a car accident. I was relieved to hear it was sweating, but I wasn't hurt that bad.

After finishing a call with Chairman Jin, the principal of the Department of Science immediately started calling.

“Pick the top 20 veterans from the cruise security staff and send them to Chungcheongnam-do as soon as possible. I'll go first. Tell them to follow my orders! ”

“Find the principal of public relations and put her on my cell phone, quick! ”

Finally, the most important instructions were also handled.

“Commissioner, this is the director of cruise science. ”

I finished a few requests from the police commissioner and got into the car waiting.

“We need to get to the communal fund now. We'll have a police escort before we cross the Han River Bridge. Speed it up as fast as you can. ”

Four motorcycles started to sound the siren as they exited Hannamdong and saw the way to the Anti-Cannon Bridge.

The principal of the public fertilizer ran to the hospital after breakfast.

It was a distinctive morning for him who had lived quietly in the province for a lifetime and didn't know what a thunderstorm this was.

I never thought I'd be able to talk to someone called Circuit Group!

What was even worse was the contents of the call. The richest man in South Korea, President Jinyang Chul Jing, was brought to his hospital emergency room.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Principal Yoo summoned all the medical personnel who had handled the incident this morning, except those who were now in the operating room.

“Everybody shut the fuck up. If this gets out, the hospital will be in chaos. There's gonna be reporters all over the place, and there's gonna be cameras at the station. Cruise group requests absolute secrecy. And I know that because he said he wouldn't hurt us. I'm sure you all understand. ”

I silenced the staff and ran straight to the room.

“Chairman, are you feeling well? Do you feel any discomfort? ”

Chairman Jin nodded his head, looking at Prelate Yu, who greeted him with a clasp.

“Sorry for making such a fuss in the morning. I'm in good shape. The doctors say I'm fine. Do me a favor. ”

“Yes, go ahead. ”

“Did you confine your mouth to the hospital members? ”

“Yes. I've managed to keep it under wraps. ”

“Thank you. And in a few moments, my staff and my children will come running. ”

“Have you already contacted them? We need to contact you... ”

“No. My hands are fine. My mouth is fine. Who cares?" ”

“Yes. And I heard your grandson wasn't badly hurt, either. We're running some tests now, but we'll get you back here as soon as we're done. ”

“I heard that too. More than that, I know this is a lot to ask, but please send me, my grandson, into intensive care. ”

“Yes?”

“Let's hear it later and pretend we're both seriously injured. We did the surgery. We have to see the results, that sort of thing. ”

Chairman Jin smiled and frowned.

“Maybe the first person to run is the head of our science department. ”

“Oh, yes. I got his call, too. ”

“Yes. He will explain the details, so please do as I say. I will repay you enough. Please. ”

“No, thank you. I will.”

“Thank you. If this man comes, please let him sneak into the room." ”

“Yes, sir. ”

Principal Yoo decided not to think about why he did this request.

He just prays that this commotion will end quietly and smoothly and quickly return to a quiet life again.

“Grandpa!"

“Oh, my baby. Are you okay? Are you hurt? ”

“It's just a scratch. How about you, grandpa? ”

“The doctor said it's fine. I'm glad to see you're okay. Haha.”

He grabbed my hand and stroked my cheek.

“But this is the ICU, so why...? ”

“Let's be quiet for a few days. And now that I've made my own arrangements, forget the accident. ”

“But I heard there's a heavy casualty. What if he's a knight? ”

“Don't get excited. I'll take care of it. He's in surgery. Let's wait. ”

“Yes.”

Thank goodness I survived and my grandfather is fine. God didn't take away the opportunity he gave me.

The two of us exchanged our eyes silently for a while.

When I was in the accident, I remembered that I was protecting my grandfather. It was an instinct that had not been calculated at all. I realized I had long overdone the whimsical grandson impersonation to take over the Crucible.

This is my grandfather and I am his grandson.

Nothing more.

Now I know my heart.

As I held back my tears, the hospital chief came in with a knock on the room.

“Am I interrupting your break? ”

“No, come in. ”

The hospital ruled between the two of us and carefully handed out a bloody ID and a business card.

“I found the wallet of someone in surgery. It was in there... I brought it just in case you know. ”

I froze after seeing the name on the bloodstained business card. It was a bigger shock than the accident.
