[044] First of all, warming up 3.
“The prosecutor general should be raised by an older brother who will become the president of Sunyang. I was told to be a lawyer specializing in mergers and acquisitions?”
“M&A? who?
Grandpa.”
Jin Yeongjun’s cheeks twitched as he held back a laugh.
“really? Did your grandfather say that?”
“yes. He didn’t go into detail… He said that since I’m going to law school, I’d rather be a lawyer than a judge.”
“So you? Do-joon, do you like lawyers too?”
A face full of anticipation and sparkling eyes.
I know what those eyes and that face want.
Among those who share blood, the most useful cousin. Even Chairman Jin nodded his head, and he was a proven head who ranked top in the nationally recognized exam.
In addition, a move that kills two birds with one stone, making me, who might be a competitor, a limb or an aide.
This guy can give you the answer you want right now, but he can’t easily give you what he wants.
“I don’t know yet. Actually, I’m not very interested in being a judge… I think a prosecutor or a lawyer would be more interesting… but I’d like to go to law school and think about it slowly.”
“Yes, life is long. Think slowly. Now that you’re just graduating from high school, there’s no need to make hasty decisions. If you don’t want to see the trivial code, tell this hyung. I’ll make you one of the most comfortable seats in the Sunyang group. haha.”
You have improved a lot, Jin Young-joon.
Even without changing a single expression, he has even developed an inner skill that reveals his composure. Have you matured a bit after enduring a long life abroad?
“Do you think that would be best? I’m sick of studying now. Hehe.”
“okay? good. This older brother should make our nerd younger brother happy. When you’re done today, stick right next to me. I teach you step by step how good the world is and how enjoyable life is.”
Jin Yeongjun patted me on the back, blinked, and disappeared.
yes have fun Enjoy the good world to the fullest.
Because that very memory of the good life will be all you will ever have.
I had to forcefully soften my hardened face. It’s my aunt.
“Hey, you ignorant bastard! How did you get that score? huh?”
“How good would it have been if our kids had only studied half of what Dojun did for you?”
My aunt had a sad look on her face. Where did your aunt’s three sons study? I don’t even know the name of the country, let alone the name of the university.
“Now I have a direct junior in my wife’s family. Do-juna, if you have any questions while studying, feel free to ask this aunt. I will help you.”
“Direct subordinates? Did you graduate from Seoul National University? I couldn’t even see the front gate of Seoul National University!”
“Did I mention college? You said the Judicial Research and Training Institute!”
When my aunt provoked my college complex, my uncle was furious, but he couldn’t even find the words.
“Yeah, that’s good. Do-joon. In the future, take your uncle as your private tutor. After all, the election is just around the corner, so you’re playing right now!”
Aunt’s glaring eyes sparked, and the uncle closed his mouth. In the 15th National Assembly election held in April, my uncle slipped spectacularly.
He cast a vote in the Seoul district, forgetting about his ability to keep up with his ambitions and greed. The ruling party threw the opposition party’s bullish area as if it were a good choice, and my grandfather was furious.
The ruling party did its best despite the ignorance of the local grandfather who gave up, but there was no error with the expected result.
Unbeknownst to his grandfather, his aunt stole money from the department store, but it was not enough.
“Uncle. Are you going to try again in Seoul?”
“of course. You can’t end up with a 2nd term. After serving a third term as a member of the National Assembly, I should enter the cabinet.”
When this person’s dream came true, when he calculated his age, he was well past his 60th birthday. My uncle’s maximum is up to the minister.
“Do-joon.”
My uncle’s soft voice suddenly called me. It’s obvious you don’t have to hear more.
“Right now, Grandpa is in a really good mood because of you. There is a by-election soon…”
“Aha yes.”
“huh?”
I nodded before I could finish my words, and even my aunt looked surprised.
“You have to wear the badge again in the by-election. I would like to ask for support for election funds.”
The mouths of the two people were caught in the ears.
“You are smart too. It’s okay if you pretend. haha.”
Shall we take another bite and catch it now?
“If my grandfather doesn’t support the campaign, I have to help too. My uncle is my direct senior.”
The mouth that had been caught in the ear opened.
“Yes you? With what money?”
“Don’t you remember? In the past, there was money from selling a ranch in Bundang, right? You haven’t even touched it and it’s just in the bank? The interest would have been quite high.”
“Ah…!”
The time to scream is approaching.
Although the Capitol is considered to have low reliability and is full of garbage, the most important policy of the country is decided right there.
My uncle must return to the National Assembly. I have to go back and be the pout that recruits lawmakers to raise my hand.
“Do Do-joon.”
My uncle, who was thrilled, opened his arms wide, but he had no intention of hugging him. I have to bow down in front of the squeamish boss, how dare you…!
* * *
Around the end of the year-end gathering, Jin Young-joon and his younger brother Jin Gyeong-jun held my hand and quietly left the hotel.
Jin Gyeong-jun is five years older than me. I am currently on leave in the US, but it was easier to find in Koreatown than in school. He will be in the United States until Chairman Jin passes away and Vice Chairman Jin Young-ki takes over the real power.
“Where are you going?”
“Just follow me. I also told my uncle that I will have a light drink with you today.”
Jin Kyung-Jun also smiled with a wink in his eyes.
“Are you still young? This hyung woke up on the day of the high school entrance ceremony. Is today the day our Dojun becomes an adult? Hehe.”
The body is a child, but the mind is a slut, you bastard.
Contrary to my expectations, I started to get a little nervous.
I’m a woman…….
My head is my wife. I’m a middle-aged man who gets scared just by hearing the sound of the shower water.
this strange imbalance. It is my honest feeling that I want to unwind and balance myself today.
Jin Yeongjun drove an imported sedan to Yangpyeong.
A place I’ve never been to The villa in Yangpyeong is owned by Vice Chairman Jin Young-ki and is used only by the family.
Of course, looking at the copy of the villa’s register, it is clear that one of the Sunyang affiliates is the nominal owner.
“Do-joon, is this your first time here?”
“yes.”
“This is a place where only my friends and male cousins gather occasionally. My father rarely comes.”
“If you want to play alone, play here. It’s nice to be quiet.”
The two brothers raised their voices as if they were already excited, and their laughter did not disappear.
A young man who was standing on the porch of the villa came running, opened the car door, and bent down.
“Are all the kids here?”
“yes. But I…”
“Why?”
“Jeong Hee-seon said she couldn’t come today… She said she was suddenly starting a night shoot…”
Pair-!
Without hesitation, Jin Yeongjun’s hand went up.
The young man stumbled, and this time his foot rose.
“This bastard. Did I mention today is an important day? Whether you grabbed her by the hair and dragged her or kidnapped her, you should have brought her unconditionally!”
“Ah-oh! I flew from America to see that proud girl naked today, but did she miss it?”
Even Jin Gyeong-jun frowned and kicked the ground.
Jung Hee-seon, the rising star of weekend dramas that is currently breaking the record for highest ratings. I should have been surprised when the name of the actress came out, but I was more outraged than surprised because of what was happening right in front of my eyes.
I even had the illusion that I was seeing myself in the past on a theater stage.
Rather than the pain of getting hit, the shame and anger towards oneself for doing such a thing.
The man who is being kicked now will even feel the fear of losing his job.
The feeling of the distant past, which I thought was now completely gone, came alive right now.
“Ayyy! What are we going to do now!”
When he shouted with his trembling fists clenched, Jin Young-jun stopped walking.
“Aren’t you here to congratulate me today? Nigimi is in a good mood. Am I just going back?”
My brother was a little dazed at the unexpected appearance of me, but the experienced and older Jin Yeongjun quickly returned.
“Yeah too! I forgot this bro Our Dojunie has the same personality, right? hey! Kyung Joon. I do not remember? Kang-jun kicked his leg for touching his toy!”
Jin Yeong-joon lifted his hands and broke them, laughing heartily.
“I know you are in good shape today thanks to Dojunie. go see Come tomorrow afternoon and return those kids.”
I said as the young man, struggling to get up, bowed his head and opened the door of his car.
“Hey. wait in the car i don’t have long I need to go after playing for a bit, so give me a ride.”
The man nodded and got into the car.
“why? Let’s play leisurely until tomorrow afternoon and go together.”
Jin Kyung-jun put his hand on my shoulder, and Jin Yeong-jun raised his hand and pointed at the young man.
“I’m going to have to sleep in that kid’s car. It’s obvious that if Do-joon goes inside, he won’t want to come out. hahaha.”
It won’t happen. I thank the heavens that I just followed you to this place. Now that I have a chance to make one of Jin Yeongjun’s faithful servants my own.
“Oh my brother! How long is this?”
Five or six young women ran up to the two cousins and clung to them. In particular, the two are the main characters of the faces often seen in TV dramas and music programs, and are advertising models that create the image of Sunyang Group products.
“Crazy year. Less than a month had passed since he flew to London and lay down in a room. How long is it? It’s only one month.”
“It is foreign. It’s been over a year since I saw your face in Korea.”
I don’t know if it’s grumbling or aegyo… or sales, but the competition was fierce to put Jin Young-joon’s arms in each other’s arms.
“Today it’s not me, I have to show it well to our maknae. Since you are the future prosecutor general, you might all be arrested for prostitution. Hehe.”
“I will be a law student at Seoul National University next year. So that means I’m still in high school. If you guys eat my brother, it’s underage prostitution. Oh, do you know yet? If you let me get the bachelor ticket off… I don’t know again. It could be the prosecutor general’s favorite concubine. hahaha.”
Jin Kyung-joon must have already had a lot of experience, so it was very natural for him to massage the breasts of girls in his arms.
“Come on, let’s have a drink.”
Drinks and dishes were already set on the table. As soon as I sat at the table lined with soju, whiskey, beer and wine, Jin Yeongjun handed me a beer glass.
“Let’s start with the weak.”
He took the glass he handed him and drank it all at once.
“Ohh! Does Goppiri drink well?”
He held out his glass to Jin Young-joon, who looked at the country as if he was a little surprised. Jin Gyeong-joon took two women and went upstairs, as if he was more in need of a woman than alcohol.
“Youngjun hyung. Whether I become a prosecutor or a lawyer, what kind of existence do you want your brother to be?”
After drinking a few drinks and speaking in a slightly serious tone, Jin Young-jun grinned. In his eyes, I will look like a high school senior trying to imitate an adult.
“There is Lee Hak-jae by my grandfather’s side, and my father has two guys like Lee Hak-jae. But Do-joon, they are all strangers. we are brothers Although they are cousins, cousins are also brothers.”
“Brothers?”
“That’s right.”
What do you want to say?
“If there’s one thing I’ve realized while living in the European branch, no matter how loyal they seem, subordinates never open up. Everyone thinks differently.”
That child blames others for his distrustful personality.
“What do you understand? There is a deep gulf that is difficult to cross between the giver and the receiver. But brothers are different. It’s not a give and take relationship, it’s a sharing relationship.”
The original Jin Do-jun might have believed that. But as Yoon Hyun-woo, I also know that those words are a blatant lie.
I still haven’t forgotten that I sent my younger brother, Jin Gyeong-jun, to prison because I don’t want to share.
