The Youngest Son of Sunyang

“Mother, relax. He's trying to have a little bit of time that he hasn't shared with his mother. You just have a nice conversation. ”

“I know, but I'm this old, and I can't help but feel the curd in front of my father. I don't know what this is... ”

She had to calm down by breathing heavily in front of the room several times.

Although she looked at 50, she looked like a bride who came to say hello to her parents to get her first consent.

I quietly knocked on the door of the room and took my mother inside.

The grandfather, lying sideways on the bed, raised his torso under the support of a nurse.

“Is Seo Hyun... here? ”

“Ah, Father...! ”

Nothing surprised me.

My mother couldn't even stand next to my grandfather as if she was frozen.

Seo-hyun!

I have never seen him speak the name of Mother as well as other daughters-in-law, nor have I heard him say it. And what's with the soft voice?

I couldn't help but be surprised.

When my grandfather gestured to come closer, my mother took a step.

I didn't feel the need to. I noticed your eyes had already turned red.

Tears will wash away all the tears that have accumulated over time. I came out quietly because I thought it would be uncomfortable for the two of you to watch.

I sat in a hospital cafe and waited for my mother. Fortunately, because of the special hospital, I was able to wait comfortably because I couldn't see anyone else.

Almost two hours later, my mother came out of the room.

“Did you talk a lot? ”

“Yes. I came out to watch you sleep. ”

I didn't ask anymore. It was because I could see what he looked like for two hours just by looking at his bright smiling face.

“Are you sleeping again? ”

“Yes. Now it's hard for you to sit and talk. I can see you're struggling. What do we do?”

“I'm afraid I can't help it. We need to prepare ourselves. ”

I wanted to avoid the approaching reality, but I can't turn my head now.

At the end of Grandfather's funeral, everyone who had been hiding their claws reveals themselves. Now I have to wear strong armor to avoid hurting their claws rather than revealing them.

“Mother, I'll take you there. Are you going home? ”

“Yes."

She grabbed my arm tight. And he said,

“My father said, You're doing a hard job... No, I have to go the hard way, so I might have a hard time watching. But he told me never to stop you. I want you to take good care of yourself and get a good daughter-in-law to take care of you for me... ”

“It may seem that way to my mother, but it's not a difficult path for me. It's just fun because it's the way I want to go. Don't worry too much. ”

“Making a cruise group yours, of course, is not an easy road. But I don't worry about it because you chose to. ”

My mother surprised me again.

I thought He would tell me to be satisfied and at ease because there is still enough now, but it is unexpected.

“And don't hesitate to tell me when you need my strength, though it's weak. You're a mom, you can say anything. Right?"

I couldn't say anything out of the blue, so I just grabbed Mother's arm.

Before I left the hospital and got in the car, I suddenly remembered one thing.

“Mother.”

“Yes, why? ”

“You bought the land a decade ago, right? Sunshine? That would have turned into a gold mine by now. No. Did you sell it already? ”

The embarrassed mother's expression was even cute.

* * *

- Chief, I think you need to go to the hospital right now.

As soon as I got the call from Representative Yoon-seok Kim who was on call in the middle of the night, I put my clothes on.

― I called the hospital security, but the hospital is in an emergency. I think it's a little serious this time. I heard that the hospital has already contacted the Dean's father and the Chief of Science.

As soon as I finished the call, I ran to the hospital.

There was only one guard with an anxious expression in the room, but he was nowhere to be seen.

“Do you have an O.R.? ”

“Yes, you have just entered. ”

I ran into the O.R., and I saw the hospital chief.

“Prelate!”

“Oh, Joon. How do you know...? ”

“What about Grandpa? Is it serious?”

The hospital chief opened his mouth with difficulty.

“I should contact my family as soon as the surgery is over. Even if you do wake up, 48 hours? Three fours at the most. ”

“What if you don't wake up? ”

I was already prepared, but when I heard it myself, my body trembled.

“We have to make a choice. Extend the intubation a little, or let it go." ”

My legs relax and I squat on the chair.

Is that what it means to be fresh in your head?

Time seemed to have stopped.

I regained my senses when my rushed father and the chief of ethics tapped my shoulder.

“Oh, Father. Chief."

“You're here early. Hold on. I'm gonna go talk to the warden. ”

My father left the hospital for a while, but the chief of science sat next to me.

“You've heard the story. ”

“Yes.”

“Hard to recover, isn't it? ”

Instead of answering, the head of the department nodded and sighed for a long time.

“Damn, I still have a few words left... ”

“Whatever you say, Grandpa will know. ”

“Sometimes in life, you comfort me. ”

“I want to believe that, too. ”

He glanced at me and patted me on the back.

“Yes. Let's trust that you know everything about us. ”

For a while, we kept our positions silent.

I'm in the O.R., but I know I'm not doing surgery to save your life, that's all there is to it.

The rest of grandfather's time, as the hospital director said, is most likely true.

“Dojuna.”

“Yes.”

“Brace yourself. I don't know what the Vice President of the Faction will do when he dies. ”

“I know. ”

“Not that I know of. You may need to sweep up the affiliate shares if you need to and spend money on them. ”

“Did you hear anything? ”

“They kicked you out first, and the two of them were going to fight for the presidency. I told you, I'm trying to convert myself into a holding company system. That way, your controlling interest is just one unlisted company's stock. ”

I didn't want to say this right now, but I got caught up.

Grandpa thought only of the group when death was imminent. I should, too. In order to become grandfather's heir, we must not postpone any difficult situation.

“Did you hear it yourself? ”

“Yes, he asked me how to switch to holding company… No, he asked me to help him. ”

“You refused to tell me everything. ”

This chief nods his head.

“You told me you were giving me the chair of the tour group, and they're giving me the president of the tour group. So I lost interest. ”

I knew there was another emotion on his face.

He must have felt a disdain for pride. Even if the former is the main company of the group, he is the president of one of its affiliates.

The man who wielded all his power on his grandfather's behalf is clearly lacking a place without chin.

The reason I say this is not to confirm my promise. This man has yet to decide what to do in the circus group where his grandfather is not present.

“Thank you for telling me. I'm going to have to be a little more prepared. I'm prepared to put bullets in it. ”

“As I promised, I will do everything I can to keep this up. That's what gets you fixed. ”

“That's all I'm grateful for. ”

I wanted to take a closer look at this person's heart, but I didn't have a chance.

The two of them approached as they heard the sound of footsteps ringing in the hallway.

The father who appeared with the hospital chief was dismayed.

“Brother, shouldn't we call all the brothers and sisters? ”

When my father spoke in a trembling voice, the head of the Department of Science shook his head.

“When you get out of the O.R., let's decide. But it won't be too late. Isn't that right?”

When the Chief of Science asked the hospital chief, he nodded.

“There's no difference. ”

It means that nothing will change.

48 hours.

It's time for Grandpa to breathe.

We were all we could do to forget the time in front of the O.R.

I thought I'd waited a few hours, but it wasn't even an hour.

The surgeons coming out of the O.R. didn't say anything but a stiff look. After the hospital chief had a few words with the doctors, he came to his father and shook his head.

“I think you need to be prepared. Director.”

“Tonight... tonight? ”

“I don't know. 48 hours, as I said. ”

We stepped into the room helplessly.

The old man in the oxygen mask just breathed with his eyes closed. We didn't know if he was asleep, unconscious, or unconscious, but unable to hold his body.

I just watch life fade away from me.

He started contacting his oldest fathers with his cell phone, and the chief of ethics was on the phone everywhere.

The two of them went out of the room after a long call.

Doctors and nurses continued to check by looking at the medical devices beside the bed.

“Sir, can you wake up for just one second? ”

The doctor bites his lips slightly in embarrassment.

“I can't guarantee it, but I don't want it to be hard. ”

“So this is it...? ”

“Maybe. I'm sorry. I can only say this... ”

“No, it's not your fault. You don't have to do that. ”

The doctor with the chart leaned his head lightly for understanding.

“I'll be out of your way for a moment. ”

Even the doctors and nurses left, and I was left alone in an empty room.

The sound of my grandfather's fast breathing piercing through the oxygen mask tore my heart.

Tears kept flowing on my cheeks, even if I tried to endure it.

When I tried to wipe my cheeks with my skinny grandfather's hands, my grandfather's hands twitched. I felt like he was trying to hold my hand.

“Ugh… ugh… ”

When I saw him half-awake, I tried to get up to call the doctor, but I felt the pull on my hand.

It must be frustrating to see one hand so hard to touch the mask while shaking his head.

As I lift the oxygen mask slightly, a sound flows through my dry lips.

“D-help... ah... ”

“Yes, Grandfather. I'm right here. ”

I pushed my hands tightly and came as close as I could to his face.

“Fig…. ”

It was hard to see my grandfather struggling to catch his breath.

“Grandpa, don't say anything. ”

When he tried to put the oxygen mask back on his hand, his grandfather frowned and shook his head a little.

And he said it again. It sounded slow, but very clear. It's like a will.

“Don't take anything from me. ”

I felt the power in my grandfather's hands.

“Live as a villain. ”
