happy for the first time

I slept soundly like I used to sleep in a semi-basement room for the first time in a long time.

1:00 pm.

When I woke up after a good night’s sleep, I began to think of the events of last night.

After receiving Jo Soo-ah’s permission, I entered her room.

“I haven’t slept yet.”

“I didn’t sleep.”

It was a dimly lit room, a little awkward and awkward.

No stranger, as soon as she graduated from college, she taught a lot as a new employee.

I’ve known her from when I was young to when I was in my late twenties.

It was awkward for a while.

We sat side by side on the bed and talked a lot.

“It’s good to see you in America.”

“I was worried that he would feel burdened when he came.”

“Why are you embarrassed?”

“just. In many ways. I was waiting at the beach and tried to contact Mr. Lee Jong-yeop that he had arrived.”

It must have been a coincidence that Jo Soo-ah was found walking on the sandy beach.

But it was true that as soon as I saw her, I was glad and missed her.

It was awkward to express emotions to a woman.

After the divorce, many troubles and worries preceded him, and he developed a habit of thinking far into the future.

Even so, the words that come out of the heart.

“I missed you too.”

“really?”

“yes. I’m glad I didn’t go to San Francisco.”

“I would have gone to San Francisco?”

“Because Oh Myung-woo might be in the way. I think it’s better to meet privately here.”

I told the stories that I had in my heart.

I liked him a lot when I saw him as a new employee at Arkor, but I thought he was not a good fit for me.

“Because I was born with a dirty spoon, I learned to give up before putting regrets on things I couldn’t have.”

“Silly.”

“Because it hurts when your heart is hurt. It’s to avoid getting hurt.”

“You can still like it. I made a tee that I like, didn’t you know?”

“I knew a little bit.”

“So what?”

“I thought you couldn’t like me. Jo Soo-ah has more money than me and deserves to meet a good man.”

When I was young, I ignored children from wealthy families.

Despite the good environment given, he seemed like a lazy child without making an effort.

That was not the reality that I came to know as I got older.

Children who grew up in a really good environment and who grew up with lots of love from their parents generally had good personalities.

He grew up affluent, so he is not easily offended and is patient.

There was a much higher chance of living a successful life while letting your talents blossom in various ways.

“Is it still like that?”

“It will be fine if you like it now. I don’t know if it’s the whole world, but there’s no one in Korea who has more money than me.”

At one point, he was holding Jo Soo-ah’s hand.

I undressed her and felt her soft skin.

All the moments of making love until morning were clearly remembered.

* * *

In the afternoon, I got up and left the room.

On the first floor, Jo Soo-ah was cooking in shorts and a T-shirt.

“Sua, are you making food?”

“woke up? I have some cooking ingredients brought from Korea.”

I was about to say that there are two chefs because I wanted to eat Jo Soo-ah’s food, but I stopped.

Come to think of it, there were no people in the mansion and it was empty.

Normally, bodyguards and Lee Jong-yeop lived together in the mansion.

-Kim Shin: Where are you?

I sent a text message to Lee Jong-yeop, and I got a reply right away.

―Lee Jong-yeop: The two of you came out to spend time together. Bodyguards are guarding the exterior of the mansion, and I will be sleeping in a nearby hotel starting today.

―Lee Jong-yeop: My brother will pay for the hotel accommodations for me and the bodyguards, right?

There were enough rooms in the mansion for Lee Jong-yeop and his bodyguards to sleep. However… … .

―Kim Shin: Sleep in an expensive hotel.

-Lee Jong-yeop: Yep. older brother.

I didn’t want to miss the opportunity to be alone with Jo Soo-ah.

The slightly spicy smell coming from the kitchen was like fried chicken.

Chicken, bulgogi, and pork rice bowls were the only things you could eat in America.

Dakbokkeumtang is also possible if you tell the chef, but it’s been a long time since I’ve eaten it.

“The potatoes are big.”

“You like potatoes.”

“You remembered.”

Chicken stir-fried soup made with large potatoes and slightly spicy taste.

Eating with Jo Soo-ah, the words that it was delicious came out by itself.

“Really delicious.”

“thank god. I was wondering what to do if it doesn’t taste good. I practiced a lot. Would you like another bowl?”

“yes. I will eat more.”

Hotel life in New York.

The spicy chicken stir-fried soup was healing itself for the taste buds accustomed to hamburgers, steaks, pizzas, and pastas.

Ahn Myeong-guk read the book 《One Year of Married Life》 at a coffee shop.

‘Tears cover my face.’

He thought that he had made a lot of money and that his wife had changed.

We fought every day because of her decision to go to Hawaii to raise our children.

‘At home, the husband is lower in rank than the dog he raises.’

Before we got married, my wife was a very nice woman.

As I became a wife and gave birth to a child, I started ignoring myself and nagging more and more.

“Hawaii. What should I do?”

“What do you do? have to stop Nothing good will happen if you become a wild goose father.”

Even after talking with Arkor’s team leader Seo Jong-gi, the problem was not resolved.

To be honest, I felt it many times while raising my children.

‘This guy doesn’t have the brain to study!’

It’s a pity, but it’s a problem that I have to accept, but my wife’s greed has no end.

Seoul National University was my goal, and if my grades don’t keep up, I think the level of the academy I attend will drop.

My wife said it like a habit.

“My kid is smart. If you wake up, you’ll catch up soon.”

“yes. right.”

“I will definitely make a doctor.”

A culture of competition with neighboring aunties.

Sales and lip service of cram school teachers.

The feeling that you are satisfied with your unfulfilled dreams as a child.

As he expressed his desire to go to Hawaii, his dream as a child evolved one step further.

“I’ll send them to Harvard or Johns Hopkins.”

“Are you going to go to college in America?”

“yes. You have the ability to support that much. After working as a doctor in the US, you get a job in Korea at Bio Life, the company you work for. How nice it would be to enter the team leader level, build a career, and become the CEO.”

“… … .”

Ahn Myeong-guk felt like he had met a new world while attending Bio-Life.

Equipment costing tens of billions of dollars was commonplace, and the academic achievements of low-level researchers and assistants were among the top 1% of world-class universities.

Most of them published papers in famous medical journals and were regarded as experts in a specific field.

Such people gather to study artificial intelligence and stay up all night to develop new drugs.

The white-haired doctor, who was squatting down on his bed, was Britain’s foremost authority on immunology.

‘My child is going to become a doctor and get a job at Bio Life?’

It would be nice, of course, but how likely is it?

How can I explain how great Bio Life is and the fact that the company is developing vertically even at this moment?

World-class scholars were coming.

Kim Shin’s fame and money, BioLife’s achievements in creating the K-Vaccine.

The decisive factor was the performance of Surin, a medical artificial intelligence that has been developed so far.

In the past, calculation work that required several huge supercomputers was carried out non-stop through Earth resources, and performance was improved.

Biolife is a company that is developing every moment.

It’s hard to imagine what it will look like in the next 10 years, but to think about getting a job at that company and even being the CEO.

Wouldn’t it be several times faster to become the president of a conglomerate affiliate?

‘This woman, it’s amazing that your husband is the executive director of Bio Life. Why don’t you help me out?’

K-Vaccine has signed a contract with Iseong Biologics or DK Bioscience.

After both companies felt a little bit of the reality of Bio Life, they couldn’t actively build a deeper relationship, so they were impatient.

Team leader Seo Jong-gi said while drinking beer.

“Oh, Jo Soo-ah took a sabbatical.”

“okay?”

If it was Jo Soo-ah, he was a subordinate who had been working with him and had a lot of affection until a few months ago. She was pretty, smart, and good at work, so she was responsible for the performance.

“But there is a story that he went to America.”

“USA?”

Ahn Myeong-guk had some insight.

Jo Soo-ah, who worked at Arkor but was against other men.

I have always been interested in and curious about Kim Shin.

I didn’t show it as much as possible at the company, but I knew it as a boss.

-Ahn Myeong-guk: Jong-yeop.

-Lee Jong-yeop: Yep.

―Ahn Myeong-guk: Did Jo Soo-ah go to meet representative Kim Shin?

―Lee Jong-yeop: It’s a secret.

―Ahn Myeong-guk: If it’s a secret, you say you went there? can’t you tell me

―Lee Jong-yeop: I can tell the team leader my passcode. But this is no more.

Ahn Myeong-guk thought that Lee Jong-yeop, who was a subordinate, had grown up very well.

While working as a company, you have to hold the line well.

Since I caught Kim Shin’s line, I had the strongest background in Korea. Of course, that was also true of him.

Ahn Myeong-guk had an idea that suddenly came to his mind.

It is assumed that Kim Shin will not hate Jo Soo-ah, who came to the United States, and that the two of them would get along well.

―Ahn Myeong-guk: Say you are Jo Soo-ah.

-Lee Jong-yeop: I can’t.

―Ahn Myeong-guk: Jo Soo-ah, who used to work together, but can’t call me by name?

―Lee Jong-yeop: I can’t call.

―Ahn Myeong-guk: Should I say sister-in-law now?

―Lee Jong-yeop: Well, you seem to know everything at this point. He is also the leader who lives with his eyes. i learn a lot

―Ahn Myeong-guk: ㅇㅇ Good job.

―Lee Jong-yeop: Yep! Good job!

An Myeong-guk put his cell phone in.

I don’t know when it comes to dating.

You meet with a feeling you like, but in the end, what kind of person you meet is the most important thing in life.

‘If it’s Jo Soo-ah, even if he changes, he won’t be like my wife.’

* * *

An enormous invitation came for the end of the year.

From San Francisco entrepreneurial get-togethers to charity parties.

He was invited to a vacation home by politicians in Washington and to a year-end party by Wall Street financiers.

It is said that invitations have been sent to every party where wealthy people, journalists, and famous celebrities gather.

―Kim Shin: Let’s politely decline all of them.

-Lee Jong-yeop: Yes. older brother.

―Lee Jong-yeop: Can I say that I have plans for next year’s business or investment as a reason?

-Kim Shin: Yes. That’s okay.

I stayed at a mansion in Laguna Beach without going anywhere else.

I sleep with Jo Soo-ah, wake up, eat, and go for a walk.

I know there are many tourist spots in Los Angeles, but honestly, I just wanted to stay at home with Joshua.

‘This is how it feels.’

It was comfortable and happy to have a normal conversation with someone, eat a meal, and sleep together.

It was the first time I felt like this.

If I felt a thrill of pleasure when I was making huge amounts of money, now I feel so happy that I can say that this is happiness.

‘This is why Lee Jong-yeop is always dating.’

It was a pity that I hadn’t met him before while attending Arkor.

“Now I will cook.”

“I want to do it for you.”

“I want to do it too.”

I ate delicious food with Jo Soo-ah.

I wore sunglasses and a mask only when I went to buy cooking ingredients and went around the nearby mart.

There are bodyguards around, but it was nice to walk around arm in arm and shop together.

A first-time break like a break.

It was mid-December and a lot of things happened.

―Executive Director Ahn Myeong-guk: The corona strain is spreading in the UK.
