Real Man

Chapter 363:

Chapter 363

Based on the information that Yoo-hyun casually gave them, the villagers were developing a tourist attraction.

It was easy to say, but putting it into action was a completely different matter.

They were all really capable.

If they could get a budget like this?

Leaving aside the development of the village, Yoo-hyun would be able to enjoy his hobby in a much better environment.

Sigh.

It was while Yoo-hyun was quickly flipping through the report.

The quiet atmosphere was awkward, so Choi Jeong Bok added a comment.

“By the way, I heard from your brother and looked it up. Haenam County was just accepting applications for support funds. The timing was perfect.”

“That must be because Han Joo Im knew about it. Right, Han Joo Im?”

As expected, Lee Young Nam pushed him.

Yoo-hyun answered without lifting his head.

He could easily guess what the answer would be.

“No. I didn’t know.”

Sure enough, Lee Young Nam praised Yoo-hyun.

“See, this guy is so humble. Hahaha.”

“Hahaha.”

As people laughed cheerfully, Yoo-hyun turned the last page of the report.

Then, as if he had been waiting, Choi Jeong Bok asked.

“Brother, how is it? Is it a bit lacking?”

Choi Jeong Bok’s report was fairly neat, probably because he had some experience in corporate life.

But it was not satisfactory to Yoo-hyun’s eyes, who had reached the top of Han Sung Electronics.

He expressed his feelings very slightly.

“It’s okay. I think it would be better if you touch it up a little.”

“As expected.”

Then people nodded in unison.

He didn’t sigh as much as before.

Where should he start?

Yoo-hyun was thinking for a moment.

A woman carrying a tray with several paper cups was startled.

“Yoo-hyun oppa. What are you doing here?”

The woman with straight bangs and short hair had deep dimples on her face.

Her face was full of joy after the surprise.

“…”

Yoo-hyun was speechless at the absurd situation.

He never imagined that Shim Hyun Ji, who had been following him around since a while ago, would show up here.

Then Jeon Il Ho pretended to know her.

“Oh? The pretty girl who always comes to the golf course?”

“That’s right. Our Yoo-hyun brother’s admirer.”

Choi Jeong Guk teased her, and Shim Hyun Ji waved her hand.

“Hey, don’t say that. Yoo-hyun oppa won’t look at me. I’m just a close friend, a close friend. Hehe.”

Then Bae Yong Hwan coughed and gestured to her.

“Hyun Ji, the elders are talking. Go over there.”

“Hey, uncle, I’m disappointed. I even made coffee for you.”

Shim Hyun Ji put down the tray on the table and made a pouty face.

Then Jeon Il Ho asked in surprise.

“Is this lady Bae President’s niece?”

Yoo-hyun didn’t know that either.

Shim Hyun Ji winked at Yoo-hyun and said cheerfully.

“Yes. I took a break from school and came down for a while. I love golf. Park golf is awesome.”

Then Lee Young Nam stretched out his arm and pulled a plastic chair.

“Hehe. Our prestigious university student Hyun Ji, come here and sit down.”

“Yay. Our Lee Director grandfather is the best. But what are you doing?”

As Shim Hyun Ji sat down casually, Bae Yong Seok explained to her.

“Oh, Han Joo Im is making a development strategy for our village.”

“Really? Yoo-hyun oppa does that too?”

Shim Hyun Ji was surprised and Jeon Il Ho said proudly.

“Of course. There’s nothing that our brother can’t do.”

“…”

The atmosphere that he thought would get better got worse with Shim Hyun Ji’s appearance.

Everyone was staring at him, and Shim Hyun Ji leaned her face next to him.

He leaned back as much as he could, but he still felt uncomfortable.

He felt like he would never get out of here if he stayed still like this. Yoo-hyun quickly finished it up.

He was good at handling documents better than anyone else.

“I’ll start with the report. When I allocated the budget, I used this as the basis…”

Choi Jeong-bok circled Yoo-hyun’s words.

He praised Yoo-hyun even though it was nothing special.

“Not bad. Honestly, that’s the part I missed.”

“As expected.”

The people who heard that nodded in unison.

“And here, you should make the examples more specific…”

“As expected.”

From some point on, the villagers nodded whenever Yoo-hyun said something.

Jeon Il-soo, the village head from the next village whom he saw for the first time, nodded without knowing what it was and said.

“I’m jealous of Yeontae-ri for the first time.”

“Don’t be greedy. He’s our village’s excellent employee.”

Lee Young-nam, the village head who leaned back on the sofa, grumbled.

This time, before Jeon Il-ho could say one more thing, Shim Hyun-ji barged in.

“That’s right. Yoo-hyun oppa is good at everything. He plays golf well, and he’s handsome…”

“Hyun-ji, stop. Shh. The adults are talking.”

“Tsk. Uncle.”

Bae Yong-hwan put his index finger on his mouth, and Shim Hyun-ji pouted.

Yoo-hyun said it anyway.

“For this last part, I think you just need to summarize the whole content briefly.”

“That’s fine. Show me again when you’re done.”

“Yes. Please do that.”

Yoo-hyun left his seat after leaving his last words to Choi Jeong-bok, and Jeon Il-ho reached out his hand.

“Brother, are you leaving already? There’s more to do.”

Then Lee Young-nam said with a stern expression.

“Isn’t it work time now? This is how much a supervisor cares for us.”

He was very good at this part because of the last learning effect.

Thanks to that, he was able to organize it neatly.

“Village head, thank you for understanding. Have a good time.”

Yoo-hyun bowed and turned around.

He was puzzled by how people came to such a misunderstanding.

He couldn’t figure it out.

Yoo-hyun grabbed the handle of his bicycle outside.

The heavy vinyl bags on both sides of the handle shook.

He took out the vinyl bag and tried to fix it again.

Shim Hyun-ji followed him and said.

“Oppa, let’s go together.”

“Where are we going together?”

Yoo-hyun asked incredulously, and Shim Hyun-ji said with a playful expression.

“Wherever oppa goes.”

“Don’t do that again. I really won’t see you.”

“Hey, I’m kidding, kidding. I’m going to take pictures.”

Shim Hyun-ji showed him a camera as big as a fist.

It was the camera that she had snapped at him when she first saw Yoo-hyun.

What did she say then?

-It’s not voyeurism, it’s just that oppa’s golf swing looked like a pictorial. I’ll delete it if you don’t like it.

He remembered her brazen words and laughed without knowing it.

While Yoo-hyun was off guard, Shim Hyun-ji snatched the bicycle handle and walked ahead.

“This way, right? Let’s walk together. I have something to say about the village development.”

Yoo-hyun held the vinyl bag in both hands and said.

“Let me hang this first.”

“Okay. Give it to me.”

“No. I’ll do it.”

“No. Please… Ugh. Why is this so heavy?”

Shim Hyun-ji snatched Yoo-hyun’s vinyl bag and made a weak sound.

One side had rice cakes and the other side had peanuts in it, so it was quite heavy.

“Sigh. Give it back.”

Yoo-hyun hung the vinyl bag on the bicycle handle, and Shim Hyun-ji grabbed the handle again as if she didn’t want to let go.

He didn’t stop her since she insisted on doing it herself.

He just felt the surroundings with his back loaded and walked slowly.

On the other hand, Shim Hyun-ji’s walking form was shaky because of the heavy things hanging on both sides of the bicycle handle.

She was tall but thin, so she seemed to have trouble balancing herself.

The situation didn’t look very good, but she smiled brightly as always and teased him without stopping her mouth.

“Oppa, you know I got an A in golf class, right? But when I actually play golf…”

Shim Hyun-ji’s words were not completely bluffing.

She definitely showed some signs of learning golf.

She quickly adapted to park golf and volunteered to be the coach for the villagers. She was popular among them for her lively personality, pretty appearance, friendly tone, and enthusiasm. 

Through golf, she became acquainted with Yoo-hyun and they started to talk casually. 

Of course, they didn’t get any closer because Yoo-hyun had drawn a line early on.

“Oppa, are you listening?”

“Sure.”

Yoo-hyun nodded as he walked leisurely, while Shim Hyun-ji continued to talk.

“But I felt something today at the meeting. Ah. I want to do something for the village too. You know I like taking pictures. So I’m going to post this picture on my blog.”

“Well, that’s not bad.”

“Really? What I’m going to do is compare the pictures I took in the past with the ones of the village now, and highlight the golf course as our village’s specialty…”

Yoo-hyun tuned out Shim Hyun-ji’s chatter and enjoyed his walk. The cool breeze felt nice. He could even enjoy this situation.

Clank.

It was when Yoo-hyun opened the door of the hardware store. 

He saw a man sitting on a chair reading a comic book. 

He had a short sporty haircut that was memorable. Yoo-hyun remembered seeing him at the park golf course. 

The man who greeted him with a sullen expression was startled when he saw Shim Hyun-ji following behind.

“Hello… Huh? Hyun-ji noona.”

When Yoo-hyun turned his head, Shim Hyun-ji shrugged her shoulders.

“Who are you?”

“No, noona, I’m Jung-gu. Moon Jung-gu.”

“Oh… Oh. I remember. That kid from back then?”

“Kid? I’ve been to the army too.”

Yoo-hyun left behind Moon Jung-gu who was blushing and looked around the hardware store. He wasn’t interested in their happy reunion.

He was rummaging through various parts that Park Chul-hong had written down for him when Shim Hyun-ji came up behind him and asked.

“Oppa, can I help you?”

“Do your thing. Didn’t you come to take pictures?”

“Hey, it’s killing two birds with one stone. Do you want me to take a picture of you crouching down? It’s a nice shot. Hehe.”

As Yoo-hyun got up to say something to her, he saw Moon Jung-gu shooting lasers from his eyes behind Shim Hyun-ji’s back. He was grinding his teeth too. 

The man who was cringing in front of Shim Hyun-ji now had a fierce look in his eyes. 

It was obvious what he was thinking even without seeing it.

Shim Hyun-ji didn’t seem to notice at all and smiled brightly.

This wasn’t a drama or anything.

Yoo-hyun lowered his head and finished his work.

The next day, Shim Hyun-ji came to the park golf course with her camera. 

She lined up the people with the reservoir as the background when they were on the third course.

“Come on, aunties, uncles, gather around.”

“Oh dear. Hyun-ji, let’s just play.”

She took pictures at every course, so the next lady in line complained. But Shim Hyun-ji pushed them hard.

“Hehe. This is all for the sake of reviving the village. It’ll be over soon if you smile.”

But by chance, Yoo-hyun was sitting at the end of that direction and resting. 

He ignored the noise behind him and looked at the reservoir scenery. 

He wanted to go fishing again, but the conditions weren’t good because it was under renovation. 

He thought it would be better to go later because he might get in the way now.

As he was thinking that, he heard a voice from behind.

“Yoo-hyun, let’s take a picture together.”

“Yeah, let’s do it. Maybe Hyun-ji will stop then.”

“Okay.”

Yoo-hyun reluctantly got up from his seat. Shim Hyun-ji had a mischievous smile on her face as if she had been waiting for this.

“Wow, a real model is here. I’ll take a good picture of you. One, two, three.”

Snap.

When he heard the camera shutter sound, Yoo-hyun saw a man’s face behind Shim Hyun-ji’s back. josei

The man who hid his body behind a tree and stuck out his head glared at Yoo-hyun with a fierce look. 

It was the same man he saw at the hardware store.

Shim Hyun-ji didn’t seem to notice at all and helped the ladies with their poses.

Yoo-hyun gave a hollow laugh and shook his head.

“Do I have to tell her or not?”

It was the most useless dilemma he had ever had.
