[109] Awakened patient 3
“Would you bet your life on my grandson…? Is this what you want?”
“I don’t mean to entrust my life to Chief Jin Do-jun. It means I want to be with him closest.”
“why?”
“yes?”
“What? You mean what is the reason you want to risk your only life and be with our Do-joon?”
Sparks flew in Chairman Jin’s eyes as he glared at him.
The intimidation made Kim Yun-seok flinch.
I even thought I might have made a mistake. Chairman Jin’s most cherished grandson. Could it be that he misunderstood himself as someone who would stick with him for the rest of his life for saving his grandson’s life?
“I want to stand in front too.”
“what?”
“I always had to remain invisible, like a shadow. I am ashamed of my role. You just told me to tell you what I want. Now let me tell you for sure. I also want to stand in front of myself without being ashamed of myself.”
“A guy who doesn’t even know the subject dares!”
Chairman Jin’s anger leaked out between the teeth.
Kim Yun-seok never dreamed that such a reaction would come out.
I thought he would pat himself on the shoulder and tell me to take good care of his grandson… but since he only provoked Chairman Jin’s wrath, it seemed that all opportunities were blown away.
“A guy like you only grabs our Dojunie’s ankles. Do you even think about sucking blood from our grandson like a leech by throwing his small body once?”
“Chairman of the meeting. I’ve never even thought about that for a moment. I’m even thinking of severing my ankle and stepping down if something happens to grab the ankle of Chief Jin Do-jun. Trust me.”
If it hadn’t been for the cast that prevented his movement, he would have been on his knees.
It was just unfair to be in the position of lying down with a bandage wrapped around you and saying this resolution.
“noisy. At this moment, you even kicked your hand off the third chance. Guys like you always do. A fool who can’t even tell if it’s poop or soybean paste.”
Chairman Jin jumped up and, having no place to vent his anger, kicked the poor chair.
“Don’t take back what you have already given. As soon as your body can walk, I will chase you away. If Do-joon messes around again, I will take your life.”
He didn’t forget the warning that was close to threatening and shouted.
“Chairman of the meeting.”
Kim Yun-seok wanted to show his sincerity by holding on to Chairman Jin’s legs as he left the hospital room, but he couldn’t move, so all he could do was look at his back.
* * *
“It was yesterday that you told me not to go to the hospital. If you are calling about seasoned chicken, absolutely no way.”
My grandfather called me early in the morning and told me to come quickly.
– noisy. If it comes, it will come quickly. What are you talking about so much?
A voice resounded from the phone receiver, so loud that it made me wonder if it was the person who had the surgery.
I quickly ran to the hospital, and my grandfather was waiting for me with a hard expression.
“Do-joon.”
“yes.”
“There is a guy who wants to be your dog, do you know?”
I was taken aback by the sudden question, but I knew who he was talking about.
“Are you talking about Assistant Manager Kim Yun-seok?”
“okay. him.”
“You met yesterday.”
“Even if I offered him a large sum of money, he refused, and then he said he wanted to stand by your side. Did you allow it too?”
Did I make a mistake?
Didn’t you like the fact that the young bastard was already attracting people?
“I decided to give you a chance conditionally.”
I don’t know what was said between the two, but it was already too late to pretend.
“condition?”
“yes. Even if he ruins my work, I will forgive him three times.”
“What if more than three times?”
“I have to throw it out. You saved my life, so I gave you three chances. Isn’t that enough to pay off the debt?”
“Um…”
Grandpa, who had been silent for a while, said something completely absurd when he spoke again.
“What do you think the virtue of a dog is?”
“outline?”
“okay. A dog that people like.”
“Isn’t it true that you are loyal to your master? You know the word loyal dog? Because I don’t add the word Chung to anything other than dog.”
“Wrong.”
Are you wrong? What if loyalty is not a dog’s virtue? No matter how much I rolled my head, nothing came to mind other than loyalty.
“Loyalty is conditional. That’s right. Loyalty is what keeps the owner moving in the right direction. That’s why he doesn’t hesitate to speak bitterly to the owner. When the owner goes on the wrong road, it is Chung who blocks the way and turns in the direction.”
“To obey even if it is not right, isn’t that also loyalty? There is a word called blind loyalty.”
“That’s an interlocutor.”
difficult. It’s a dog’s virtue, not loyalty… Surely it’s not love?
“The virtue of a dog is devotion.”
ah…!
They do not hesitate to make sacrifices by devoting their body and mind to their strength. The difference from loyalty is that there are no conditions.
“Do you think he will devote himself to you?”
“So far, yes.”
When I answered confidently, my grandfather showed a slight sneer.
“The reason is?”
“He didn’t hide his true feelings.”
No long explanation needed. Aren’t you the kind of person who sees through most of the important words or two?
“But he’s already made a mistake.”
“Grandpa?”
Grandpa nodded and said.
“You told me you wanted to serve. Does your dog ask permission from others when choosing a master? He had in mind that I was above you.”
If it’s trivial, it’s infinitely trivial. Since he is my grandfather and the president of the group, isn’t that enough to say?
I thought that the thoroughness that did not tolerate even such a trivial thing was severe, but I thought again.
It’s not just about hiring an employee. A person who will become an amputee. Shouldn’t there be no shortage?
“Have you made another mistake?”
“The guy who wanted to be a dog said he wanted to be a confident person himself. Does your dog have self-esteem? Isn’t a dog a beast that wags its tail whenever its owner extends a hand to him even if he beats him up?”
the second mistake
This time I could guess what he was saying. You would have wanted to stand next to me.
“Is there a third?”
Grandpa had a puzzled look on his face.
“Do you still want to give it a chance?”
“Because I promised. I don’t want to be the person who throws away the promise I made to a subordinate like a devoted partner.”
If the virtue of a subordinate is devotion, the virtue of a superior is faithfulness.
Can’t I become someone like Jin Young-ki or Jin Young-joon?
“He lacks a lot.”
“I don’t think there is a lack of people, just a lack of training.”
“Sunyang is a place where talented people are already abundant. You can just pick from there.”
“There is no relationship. They can make me my person anytime if they guarantee success. Isn’t there more than that?”
Seeing my stubbornness, my grandfather got out of bed.
“Follow me. I’ll show him making a third mistake in an instant.”
The grandfather, who strode towards Kim Yoon-seok’s hospital room, was full of confidence.
“Look carefully. Whom he fears more and whose eyes he looks at.”
I know what you want to check now.
If Assistant Manager Kim Yun-seok decided to become my person, I shouldn’t care about the grandfather next to me.
As the grandfather said, if you are a devoted loyal dog, its gaze should be directed only to its owner.
But is it easy?
Anyway, he is the chairman of Sunyang Group. Current employer and much older than me. It is only natural that he pays more attention and notices than I do.
I was a little nervous in front of the hospital room.
Am I still missing people’s eyes? Or is the standard for selecting people different from that of my grandfather?
Grandpa slammed the door open.
Deputy Assistant Manager Kim Yoon-seok, who was lying on the bed with his upper body leaning against him, was startled to find the two of us suddenly appearing.
I only looked at his eyes and mouth.
To whom are those eyes directed and to whom do they open their mouth?
I can’t stand up, so I can’t bend my back, and I can’t move my neck, so I can’t lower my head.
He only greeted with his eyes.
And he opened his mouth.
“Chief. sorry.”
Grandpa’s eyebrows twitched at the first words he uttered.
“It seems that my relationship with the director ends here. I was disappointed because I lacked a lot.”
Glancing at Grandpa, he seemed surprised.
Of course, I thought he would come up with excuses to clear up the misunderstanding by saying, “Chairman, Chairman,” but it must have been unexpected that he would draw a clean line.
“I don’t know what’s going on, but you’re giving up quickly.”
“I didn’t know the subject. I just realized that. I accidentally saved the chief by using my body, but I also had a desire to get something bigger with it. I will not deny it.”
“Where is the man without greed? When an opportunity comes, grab it and use the opportunity to satisfy your greed.”
“I lack ability and my skills are at the bottom. It seems that only greed got ahead of me.”
Only then did Kim Yun-seok turn his attention to his grandfather.
“The president reminded me of my fountain. For that, I would appreciate it.”
How would the grandfather accept Kim Yun-seok’s attitude?
I decided to keep my hands behind my back and see what kind of conversation the two would have.
“Do-joon.”
“yes.”
“You should go out.”
What else does this mean?
Not only me, but Kim Yoon-seok’s eyes also widened.
“I really need to talk to this guy. hurry!”
* * *
“Are you serious?”
It was Chairman Jin’s question that the grandson asked as soon as he left the hospital room.
“I threw my life away, but the only thing I saved was an apartment and less worry about my children’s education. Aren’t you embarrassed?”
“I am trying to be satisfied with having a short but brilliant dream.”
Yunseok Kim looked directly at Chairman Jin and answered calmly.
Chairman Jin began to stare intently at him to see if there was a single piece of selfishness in his eyes.
“good night. There’s nothing special about you giving up meekly. I will give you enough money to keep you from living in abundance. You won’t have to worry about life.”
“no. I’m still young We cannot spend our lives idle on the money the president gives us.”
“Don’t get in shape for nothing. Get paid and live comfortably. It’s an opportunity to eat your life raw.”
Kim Yun-seok even showed a smile at Chairman Jin’s words.
“That was my dream. Wouldn’t it be great if you could just eat your life raw? But looking at Chief Jin Do-jun, I realized how stupid and incompetent I am.”
“Why Dojunie?”
“My department is the Strategy Office. We vaguely hear how the cousins of Chief Jin Do-jun live. A card with no limit on money payment that does not dry up no matter how much you spend. I live a splendid and enviable life no matter who sees it.”
“however?”
“Director Jin Do-jun is also a third-generation conglomerate, but I have never seen him spend a single day or an hour in vain. I go to Yeouido at 7:00 in the morning. After having a quick meal at an ordinary restaurant near the office, I go back to the office. I don’t know what you’re doing.”
Kim Yun-seok spoke of Jin Do-jun, who was very young, as if he were describing a boss he respected.
“If the president gives me a lot of money, I don’t have the confidence to live like the former chief Jin Do-jun. I’d waste my life on a splurge. I don’t want to live like that.”
I want to stand by Jin Do-jun’s side. Wanting to be with him is another way of saying that I will live my life fiercely.
