453. A certain young man 2
Even though he was from an ordinary doctor’s family, he came from a fairly well-to-do family, but he is the grandson of the director of a huge hospital.
Kang Seung-hyun was born with a diamond spoon in his mouth, not just a golden spoon.
“No luck, right? Everyone says it’s unlucky to hear this.”
“Rather than being unlucky…”
Kim Ho-jung, who had been listening to Kang Seung-hyun’s story in a daze, continued to speak while twiddling his chin.
“That’s why I start thinking that Mr. Kang is smart and knows a lot about medicine. Your grandfather is a doctor.”
“It’s really an answer that Kim Ho-jung would give.”
In the past, Kang Seung-hyun would have thought, ‘I’m jealous of him inside, but he’s not showing off’, but now I know what kind of person Kim Ho-jung is, so I didn’t think about it.
“So there was no problem in living. Rather, I lived more leisurely than my peers.”
“That’s fortunate… I still miss my parents or miss them.”
“What is it?”
“Uh… Why?”
Kim Ho-jung asked with a very surprised face.
Normally, it would be normal to miss your deceased parents, but
“Is there any reason to miss people who have no memories or memories of anything?”
“Are you still your parents?”
“I know this isn’t a universal reaction, but what can I do? I can’t think of anything.”
Kang Seung-hyun had no interest in them.
“It might be because Mr. Kang broke up with his parents when he was too young.”
Rather, Kim Ho-jeong, a raw man, just looked at him with a painful face.
“When did you two die?”
“My father is a few days after I was born.”
“Oh my God…”
“My mother passed away not too long after that, so it would be correct to just say that I never saw it.”
Kang Seung-hyeon answered such a story in a calm tone, as if he had no feelings at all.
“And I don’t resemble my parents at all. Maybe that’s why I’m not interested anymore.”
“You say you don’t look alike?”
“Because my father was a police officer.”
It’s not like a baseball bat that beats the people, but it’s a righteous policeman like a picture.
“The reason he died in the first place was that he died while saving people in the field, so he doesn’t have a single gram of resemblance to me.”
Far from resembling him, Kang Seung-hyeon could not understand his own father who died while saving others.
“So, does Mr. Kang resemble your mother?”
“…if your mother was like me, you wouldn’t have married a righteous cop, right?”
It was something strange, but it was Kim Ho-jung who nodded his head spontaneously because he seemed to understand what he was saying.
“My mother was a veterinarian and was a kind person who loved taking care of animals and plants.”
“Hmm, you two are really different from Mr. Kang.”
In the end, it was natural that Kang Seung-hyun could not understand his mother and father, so he did not want to see them or miss them.
“But then, who does Mr. Kang look like?”
“The exact meaning of that question is, ‘Your parents are normal, but why is your personality the way you are’?”
“No, I didn’t say that!? I just meant that it’s amazing that I don’t resemble my mom and dad at all…”
“Personality is genetic after all. The environment has a big impact, but the fundamental factors cannot be changed.”
Kang Seung-hyeon turned Kim Ho-jung into trash in an instant and then started talking arbitrarily.
“But Mr. Kang doesn’t resemble his parents…”
“It’s not just that he resembles his parents.”
Also known as atavism.
A genetic factor that appears skipping one or two or three generations.
In simple terms, it refers to cases in which children do not resemble their parents, but resemble their grandparents or ancestors of their ancestors.
“I look like my grandfather. Including not only the appearance, but also the style you like and the ‘personality’.”
“Oh…”
“For reference, the resemblance is to the point where I thought it was mine when I saw a picture of my grandfather when he was younger. He’s shorter than me, but he’s still in his early 180s, so he’s tall for his age.”
“Do you really look alike? amazing!”
When Kim Ho-jung admired him with sparkling eyes as if he was very curious, Kang Seung-hyun looked at Kim Ho-jung with a puzzled face.
“is it so? I felt very bad. My grandfather probably thinks the same way.”
“Uh… Why?”
“I told you. He said he looked exactly like me.”
That he resembles Kang Seung-hyun.
The fact that they resemble not only their appearance, but also their ‘personality’ means that Kang Seung-hyun’s grandfather is also such a personality bankrupt.
“I don’t think it’s something I’m going to say, but I really like taking advantage of others and harassing others. Do you feel that destroying your competitors is the stigma of life?”
“Uh…”
“Because he was the one who said that the reason for calling a fortune in the first place was to look down and trample on someone.”
In the end, the reason why Kang Seung-hyun has such a bad personality despite having good parents is because he resembles his grandfather.
“My father doesn’t look like my grandfather at all.”
“My father looked like my grandmother. Appearance and personality. Is that why your father and grandfather didn’t match?”
“But you got married because your grandfather loved your grandmother a lot, right?”
“It could be. Of course it’s a match.”
Grandma died before Kang Seung-hyun was born, so the truth is unknown, but it wasn’t a love marriage in the first place, and Kang Seung-hyun’s grandfather doesn’t have the personality to love someone.
“Anyway, it was my grandfather who took care of me after my parents died.”
In fact, there were many people who wanted to take on Kang Seung-hyeon, but the reason why a person who was equivalent to the head of a hospital had a young grandson who was less than one year old was simple.
Kang Seung-hyun’s father had no other siblings or children, so if Kang Seung-hyun’s grandfather died, all of that legacy would be inherited by Kang Seung-hyun.
“It’s troublesome to deal with the hyenas that are aiming for inheritance, and they must have decided that it would be better to raise them as proper successors at this point.”
“It feels like I’m listening to a drama because the world I live in is different…. Oh, I’m sorry. You talked about someone else’s family life too easily.”
“It’s okay because I also think of my life as a fucking boring drama.”
“You think so too!”
I wonder if it’s okay for him to say that with his own mouth, but it was a convincing remark because he was Kang Seung-hyun and not someone else.
“Then you lived with your grandfather when you were little.”
“For now, it is.”
In Kang Seung-hyun’s memory, the house in his childhood was unnecessarily large and grandiose, but it was said to be full of old and gloomy feelings just like the old man’s taste.
“My grandfather was the director of the hospital, so there were a lot of medical books in the house. So, naturally, I became interested in it.”
“No, no, there are a lot of medical books at home, and few children care about them. Usually kids don’t see that. Rather, aren’t those books written in English?”
“At first, I looked at a dictionary and interpreted it, and later, a private tutor assigned me, so I learned English and read it.”
“Then when are we playing?”
“That was what I was playing with.”
Kang Seung-hyun said that he was taking a break, and the reason he read books and organized data was because he had been living like that since he was young.
“Your grandfather didn’t force you to study.”
“I just did it because I wanted to. So there were no complaints.”
The reason I didn’t have any complaints was because the two were so similar.
Since they were people with similar personalities, tastes, and even intelligence, the amount of learning that the grandfather demanded and the amount of learning that Kang Seung-hyeon enjoyed on his own was the same.
“Anyway, as time passed and I entered elementary school…”
“Was that a story before I even entered elementary school? Why do kindergarten students study English to read medical books?”
“I think I started to find small pleasures in earnest after meeting children my age.”
“Are you listening to me? More than that, is that something scary?”
Young Kang Seung-hyun, who looked like an angel in appearance, but inherited his grandfather’s ruined personality, began to viciously bully others from then on.
“Kids who are good at soccer apply with soccer, those who are good at piano apply with piano, those who are good at mental arithmetic apply with mental arithmetic. If there was something I was good at, it was my hobby to destroy it.”
“Why are you doing that…”
“I thought you were the best, but it’s funny seeing your crying face when you realize the cruelty of reality after applying to me.”
“You are too much for the child.”
“I was a kid back then too.”
“That’s not something a kid would do.”
The method of legally destroying others was the same then and now.
Even without knowing his intentions, he didn’t do anything particularly bad, so his popularity increased day by day.
“Weren’t there any kids teasing Mr. Kang for not having parents?”
“Of course, there were kids who were jealous.”
As Kang Seung-hyun’s family is a family, the school was also a place where children of a certain family level gathered, so there were children who looked down on Kang Seung-hyun, who had no parents even though he had money.
“They were treated in a little ‘special’ way. I never messed around again.”
“…a special method?”
“What was it?”
“No, I won’t listen…”
I don’t know what it is, but for some reason I felt like I shouldn’t know, so Kim Ho-jeong shook her head desperately.
“Then, after entering middle school, I added one more pattern to my hobbies.”
“A losing pattern?”
“Because grades were always at the top.”
“Above? Not number one?”
“When I graduated, I got first place in the whole school.”
“huh? what do you mean?”
When I became a middle school student, I started to see kids who were serious about their studies, so from then on, I added study to the variations that harassed them.
“At first, I set my test scores to around 30th in the entire school and gradually raise my grades.”
“….”
“The next exam, 25th place, and the next exam, 20th place… Then, when you get into the top 10, you can see that the kids are getting anxious. At that time, if you just get rid of the first place in the whole school right away, it’s really fun to smash the mentality of the previous 1st to 9th places at once.”
It was a story that made me want to say why people can’t do their best to this extent.
“Can’t we just get first place in the entire school from the beginning? You can!”
“I don’t want to be number one, I want to beat the guy in front of me.”
“I’d rather get first place… No, isn’t Grandpa saying something about not getting first place?”
“I told you that it seems narratively much better to rise slowly than to always be number one, so you can do whatever you want.”
“Wow…”
They were really human beings who naturally said that the grandson was the grandson.
“Anyway, a hobby is a hobby…. I continued studying medicine.”
“I wish I had a better hobby.”
“The problem is that my grandfather made a big mistake.”
Seunghyun Kang laughed and continued talking.
