[227] Unfinished business 2
Seeing the grandfather’s earnest expression, his body moved by itself. It’s something I can’t waste my lack of time on because of me.
I quickly approached and supported my grandfather’s body.
“It’s nice, but if you don’t go, I’ll turn the car around.”
“It’s a place that has been postponed and postponed, so you will like it. haha.”
Grandpa, who held my hand tightly, smiled brightly with dry lips wide open.
I passed the bodyguards who completely blocked off the surroundings and went down to the underground parking lot. Three cars were already on standby.
I was at least relieved when I saw the ambulance waiting at the very back.
“How about this car? A new car came out, so I asked him to bring it.”
The BMW 7 Series, which boasts its appearance in a gap between the lead car and the ambulance, greeted us with a low exhaust sound.
“After I write today, I don’t want to write anything more. You take it and use it.”
“I also have a lot of good cars. My grandfather still uses this car. You should go to a lot of good places and get some fresh air.”
“Sounds useless. Are you doing this knowing exactly what my condition is? I know you’re talking about comforting me, but how nice it would be if I could become young again with the comfort of my grandson…. It’s useless. Take it and use it.”
It hurts more that my grandfather has already accepted death with ease. I don’t think he would even try to prolong his life for even one more day.
Maybe this moment is the only moment that only the two of us have with Grandpa. I really don’t have time. shit…!
The sturdy bodyguards in the lead car got up first.
“Then be careful. President.”
Chief Lee Hak-jae lowered his head. I don’t think he intends to accompany me.
The three cars started off slowly.
“It must be hard, but keep an eye on it. I’ll tell you when we arrive.”
“How many days left to rest forever? We should diligently look at our grandson’s face while we live.”
Should I change my grandfather’s nickname, iron-faced? Every single word breaks my heart.
“Well, it’s hard to see such a proud grandson anywhere. haha.”
Like the youngest, he wanted to make his grandfather happy with jokes, but all he could do was make a joke like this.
However, it was fortunate that you continued to smile and look at me like this.
“I heard the true story. I heard you gave up on acquiring Daehyun Card?”
He’s a very hard person to get over. Are you talking about work in the meantime?
I was going to say that we should talk about something else, but I changed my mind. It’s because the moment you feel alive might be the moment you work or talk about work.
“yes. Sorry to disappoint you. Because LG Card had such a big accident, Daehyun came to his senses in an instant. They threw baits at me, but they didn’t bite.”
“so? Have you completely given up on Daehyeon Card?”
“no. I changed my route.”
“how?”
“I’m going to stick together properly and turn it into bloody rice cakes. We intend to attract customers who make money.”
Grandpa’s eyes turned bright when he heard that he was fighting.
After all, it is not the grandson’s tricks that breathe life into it. Grandpa is a person who feels that he is alive only through work.
“Will you break some money?”
“Isn’t that my only weapon?”
“Compared to breaking, the loot may be poor.”
“Perhaps. But this is not the time to fight the tradeoffs.”
“why? It is natural not to start a business unless it is profitable.”
“But I thought it was time to show it off. I want to use it as a tool here and there to see if you keep looking at me.”
“That bastard, Joo Gwang-shik?”
“yes.”
“If you look shallow, it’s the end, cancer. Step on it so you don’t even look at it a second time. Just looking at your shadow makes me pee. haha.”
In a running car, I even talked about small business affairs. I began to feel more and more at ease when I saw my grandfather smiling happily as he listened to my story.
“Cham Oh Se-hyun, the CEO, left the company and left for Kota Kinabalu.”
“what? No… How old is he, so you’re saying he’s already living alone?”
“I mean. Now the number of sellers has increased. Even my grandfather should have visited the resort there once….”
“Resort? done. My house is a hundred times better and more comfortable than that resort, so why fly to a hot country? I only go abroad when I have a business trip. Why do I live in a huge house? Didn’t you spend that much money just to rest in peace?”
Even if it’s empty words, he doesn’t say that he regrets that he couldn’t visit the resort built by his grandson. like a grandfather
It was late at night, so the road was quiet. I left Seoul before I knew it and the car ran south. Looking at the signs that kept appearing, I thought I knew where my destination was.
“Stop the car for a minute.”
“yes. President.”
Turning on the emergency flashers and standing on the side of the road, my grandfather rolled down the window.
“Do you remember there?”
Where Grandpa pointed, the traffic lights were flashing red, just like then.
“yes.”
This is where Assistant Manager Kim Yun-seok rushed to BMW on our behalf. It was the very place where he almost crossed the Hwangcheon Road.
“You get down. It must have been hard driving for a long time, but straighten your back a bit and smoke a cigarette.”
No consideration for the driver. This is so that you don’t know what your grandfather is saying from now on.
Even the driver didn’t know what that meant.
“Thank you, Chairman. I’ll wait outside.”
When the article came down, the grandfather raised the window again.
“Hasn’t it been quite a while since we had an accident over there?”
“yes. If I hadn’t come here today, I wouldn’t have remembered it. Thank you so much, Assistant Manager Kim Yoon-seok.”
“Okay, bring him with you. I couldn’t even properly say thank you. I think I only yelled at you for fear of sticking to you. haha.”
“no. Didn’t your grandfather send it to Chief Lee Hak-jae? I am always grateful that I have learned a lot.”
“Take it anyway. It is a lifesaver.”
“yes. I will.”
Grandpa just stared at the scene of the accident in silence for a while.
“Do-joon.”
“yes.”
When Grandpa spoke again, his voice trembled slightly.
“Have you ever thought about the accident as strange?”
What should I say? I was going crazy with curiosity and should I answer that I guessed to some extent?
But the usual answer came.
“It is an accident. Didn’t you say it was the truck driver’s negligence?”
“Do you really believe that?”
“yes.”
He answered without the slightest hesitation. I couldn’t bear to answer that I doubted my family.
“Even if you lie now, your expression doesn’t even change. The cheater is done. haha.”
I don’t know why, but my grandfather burst into laughter as he thumped the armrest.
“grandfather.”
“OK.”
“You can just bury the things that are difficult to say. Didn’t I already tell you? If I hadn’t come here today, I wouldn’t have remembered it. I have already forgotten everything.”
It was sincere. It’s obvious without saying who did it. Aren’t you a member of the family? It is impossible to bring back a case that has already been buried and send it to prison. It’s really over.
“I’m sorry.”
Grandpa grabbed my hand.
“Everything happened because of me. It’s my responsibility.”
“Why are you doing this all of a sudden…”
My grandfather raised his hand to block my words.
“If I had taken care of your grandmother a little, none of this would have happened. At some point, we got along like strangers, so that old woman was obsessed with her son instead of me.”
it was grandma
It’s better to think of it as one of the uncles… no, all the uncles did it together. Isn’t the grandmother who wants to hurt her grandchildren too heartless?
“You must have thought that I would pass on the entire Sunyang Group to you, not to your son. your eyes would turn upside down If you take over the Sunyang Group, you lose everything. Husband, inheritance, son. That’s why I tried to stop it before it happened.”
I didn’t want to hear more. But I couldn’t stop talking to my grandfather. Because Grandpa still has something he wants to say and something I need to hear.
“The reason I hated your emmy so much was because I felt that my son had been taken away. I was once too But for different reasons. I was disappointed in your father for disappointing me and I took that anger out on your innocent Emmy.”
“My father said that yesterday. When my grandfather passed away, I said that I was so sorry and regretful for the 10 years of my youth when I resented my grandfather. Don’t beat yourself up too much.”
“Did Yu Yoon-gi really say that?”
“yes.”
Grandpa’s fingertips trembled, and joy shone in his eyes.
I was also infinitely happy to be able to convey my father’s sincerity intact.
Grandpa said, wiping a single tear from his eye.
“They say tears become common as you get older, so I’m just the same. One word from him pulled a nail out of my heart.”
“Fortunately, the. So Grandpa, you don’t have to talk anymore.”
“no. We are still far away.”
Grandpa caught everything in his trembling voice.
“Your grandmother may hate you for as long as she lives. Only after death will the hatred be resolved. That great hatred is because of me. So, be kind to your grandmother and forgive her, even for the sake of me.”
this is what i need to hear
“Do not worry. It’s just that my grandmother is difficult, but I don’t hate her. And nothing but forgiveness. I have already completely forgotten.”
“no. I’ll be sure to tell you, but I’m just saying this because I don’t know if that old hag will harm you again. It means to forgive even if it happened.”
The hatred toward me is directed toward my grandfather. It’s so boring. No matter how much I hated my husband, didn’t I enjoy my life because of him?
Or maybe it’s not hate, but desire. The desire to regard everything that her husband has cultivated as her own and not to lose a single thing. You have to do this to understand.
It is a little easier to accept if it is said that the desire to harm the grandson is desire rather than hatred. This is because desire is strong enough to transcend bloodlines.
“No matter what happens in the future, I will not resent Grandma. I promise you, stop now.”
Grandpa looked into my eyes and tried to read my heart.
“okay. If I don’t trust you, who will I trust?”
He nodded and rolled down the window.
“I suffered from the cold. Let’s go.”
The driver gave a quick signal and got into the car.
The car drove south again.
“grandfather. Aren’t you going to Seoul?”
“no. I stopped by here on the way. We will go to Gunsan.”
It’s Gunsan.
Could it be that you are doing this with a sick body because of what you couldn’t do then?
“grandfather. I already know what my grandfather meant. Is it really necessary to go to Gunsan? You’re sick, but your body is tired. Just go back.”
“This guy! It is the starting point of the history of the Sunyang Group. Are you just passing by that important place? Say something worth nothing! Sometimes the form is more important than the content.”
There is no way I can break this stubbornness. Until the last day, I decided to follow my grandfather without saying anything.
“And not just because of it. There are people you should greet.”
greeting? Who is it?
Surely… it’s not the little grandma you’ve been hiding, is it?
