Chapter 54

[Father (3)]

Jin Young-woon, president of KK Pharmaceuticals.

He wondered who the child was who was upsetting Sena.

At first, he thought the child was foolish. You can dismiss it as the rash behavior of a child who doesnt know any better, but if it happens twice and then three times, you can only think of it as a monkey who doesnt know whats going on in the world.

After that, I became curious. I wondered what would happen to a child who didnt know how to count when he learned his true identity. I wondered how he, a mere insignificant creature, would feel in the face of the power of an exalted person.

Finally, anger. When he heard that the child had denied his beloved daughter Sena a birthday party, his anger rose to the top of his head.

How dare you.

He was offended. He felt insulted just by hearing Senas story.

A man of noble birth should live with honor.

Honor was very important to Jin Young-woon, president of KK Pharmaceuticals, one of the affiliated companies of the KK Group.

Now, a child with no power had tarnished his, Senas, and KKs name.

I wondered what he looked like.

And today.

Jin Young-woon purposely cleared his schedule and came to watch the athletic meet.

All to directly punish a kid who doesnt even know fractions.

An insignificant kid.

But the moment he saw him, he realized how much more insignificant he was than he expected.

No Eunha, he was a typical commoners child. The sand-stained T-shirt, the scuffed shoes, the scars on his knees and elbows.

His fierce eyes might be cute now, but as an adult, theyd give off a rugged air.

Even if he was lucky enough to get a job, hed probably end up as his bodyguard.

Ill have to see how bad he is at fractions, though.

Jin Young-woon took a step forward. His voice was low and threatening.

Are you an idiot who doesnt know fractions?

Ha.

Whats this? He sighed?

The kid was more than a little bold, he was about to punch him.

Jin Young-woon frowned. Even if it wasnt, his bad mood had taken another turn.

Did you just sigh at my dad?

A wide-eyed Sena spat out in a prickly tone. She set her teacup down with a deliberate sound.

So what?

What, what did you say?

Eunha repeated in a tone that was all too familiar.

This time, it was Sena who felt the absurdity. She was at a loss for words.

Youre a brat.

A brat.

On the outside, Young-woon spoke gently, but on the inside, he was seething with anger.

There was nothing worse than not being able to act like an adult to a child in public.

He glared at Eunha with a stern look in his eyes.

You talk too much about your little pharmaceutical company.

Eunha didnt mind the stares. He wasnt intimidated.

Even when Jin Young-woon scolded him, Eunha didnt show the slightest hint of remorse. In fact, he even muttered something like this in an irritated tone.

You dare!!

However, Jin young-woon couldnt stand this insult in an adult manner.

He lost his mind.

How dare this brat, how dare!

He clenched his fists with a reddened face.

He didnt think he could relieve his frustration without punching the kid, who was staring at him, unsure of what hed done wrong.

A child needs to be hit to wake up.

Especially if its an underclassman.

If there were any problems later, hed get his legal team involved.

Money is everything.

Do you want to die?

What?

It wasnt that this kid wasnt scared.

He realized as he watched him threaten him, not even blinking when a fist flew straight at him.

This kid had lost all sense of fear.

In other words, hes crazy.

Thats what I thought as he glared at me coldly.

The more I thought about it, the more I realized I had to show him the error of his ways.

A punch would wake him up.

With that in mind, he steeled his fists,

You want to die?

My fist stopped in midair.

This guy, what the hell.

The last words out of his mouth.

The moment I heard those words, my body went cold, as if I had been doused in ice water.

Like I shouldnt have touched him.

Arent you going to hit me? the child asked calmly.

He couldnt answer. His mouth wouldnt move.

He felt like he was walking on a blade. If he took the slightest step, he would be slashed without mercy.

Whats wrong with a kid?

It was the same as when I met Kim Geon, the chairman of KK Group.

For the first time in his life, he was terrified by the rawness of the child.

He couldnt back down like this.

He had dignity. For the noble, it is a name; for the lowly, it is pride.

Achild!

Young-woon moved his cold, rigid body heavily.

Eunha glared at the fist that was coming at him in slow motion.

He was going to kill him the moment his fist touched his face.

So come, and regret it.

So die, and give up.

This life is-.

Give up.

Eunha was about to say that.

You bastard, where do you get off hitting my son!

Jin Young-woons fist was about to strike.

His father, who had rushed from the side, swung the fist he had pulled back as hard as he could.

Crack!

Boss!

Dad!!!

Jin Young-woon was thrown back by the direct hit and his head rang. He couldnt even stand up, his body shaking.

The bodyguards faces were filled with despair. They swarmed around him, trying to catch up.

He paid them no mind. He was only looking at his son.

Are you all right? Are you hurt?

Despite the harshness of his gaze, the emotion in his eyes was worry.

Grabbed by the shoulders, Eunha blinked, unable to comprehend what was happening.

Ahhurt?

You dont look hurt.

He didnt ask for an explanation. Once he was satisfied that Eunha was safe, he turned to Jin Young-woon, who was getting up covered in dirt.

Y-, how dare you. Youre no better than a dog, and you hit me?

Young-woon glared at his father with a reddened face, a fist-sized mark clearly visible on his face.

These bastards.

Eunha looked around at the bodyguards who were always ready to grab his father and shot a murderous look.

Im going to kill them.

He drew on the mana in his body. Powering each of his fingers, he wasnt going to guarantee their lives if they made the slightest move.

Its okay.

If his father, who showed his large back, had not said so.

Eunha nearly lost his cool.

You, you. Who the hell do you think you are, do you even know who I am?

Do you even know who I am?

What?

Why would I need to know that?

Jin Young-woon frowned. His face, which had lost its poker face, contained such emotions.

Arent you Mr. Jin Young-woon, president of KK Pharmaceuticals?

Thats right.

Is this why you dont remember me?

His father sighed.

Both father and child were the same in their disdain for the other.

Jin Young-woons stomach was about to boil over,

He tucked his glasses into his shirt pocket. Then he swept his bangs with both hands.

His forehead was exposed.

An overall sleek, yet fierce look.

Jin Youngwoon saw it.

No, no, Director Noh? (1)

Why is this person here!

He was stunned.

He was the head of the Strategic Management Planning Department in charge of Sirius Devices.

You finally remember me.

Now, how did you get here.

You?

Mr. Noh repeated, one eyebrow raised.

Oh, no, Im sorry, I was just wondering why youre here, the head of the planning department.

Im here to watch my daughter and sons athletic meet. I guess you are too, but, did you have some friction with my child?

Jin Young-woon swallowed hard.

He had to be careful what he said from now on.

KK Pharmaceuticals was not a company directly associated with Sirius Devices.

KK Pharmaceuticals outsourced its potion business to subcontractors and promoted its products through KK and Galaxy Group.

However, Sirius Group was considered to be on par with Galaxy Group, which was considered to be the best in Korea, and Sirius Devices was the most influential affiliate of Sirius Group.

Moreover, Mr. Noh, what a man he was. Most businessmen knew the rumors that he was trusted to take over the group in the future.

I couldnt pretend with him.

Haha, there must have been a misunderstanding. You must be Mr. Nohs son, I guess I made a mistake. Im sorry, kid.

Dad.

Even though it wasnt a word, Young-woon lowered his head.

Even among people of high status, there were those above and those below. As the head of Sirius Devices, he belonged to the top, and with a small pharmaceutical company, he belonged to the bottom.

I dont think Im the one who should be apologizing.

Im sorry.

He blushed for a moment, but he remained as calm as he had been earlier.

Mr. Noh was a seasoned man who could use his actions as a weapon. He didnt want to think about what would happen if he caused damage to KK Group in any way, and if it reached Kim Geon, the chairman of KK Group.

He would then become the lowlife he despised.

He might as well bow down to a child.

Jin Young-woon bowed his head in self-deprecation, saying it was for the good of KK Pharmaceuticals.

Eunha accepted his apology without a word.

It burned his insides even more, but he clenched his fists and bit his lip.

Come on, Jin-sena, you should apologize too.

IapologizeI.

Sena couldnt believe it all.

Her pride wouldnt allow it.

Still, she had to do as her father said.

Her body shuddered.

Her head slowly lowered, a million thoughts passing through her mind, an unspeakable sense of humiliation flooding through her.

When she lifted her face, tears were streaming down her cheeks.

Wiping her eyes with the back of her hand, she ran away from the crowd.

No one caught her.

I hope I didnt hit you earlier.

Haha. Ive never been hit, but.

Young-woon shivered.

His father didnt react. After exchanging a modest bow with him, he walked away with Eunha.

Eunha.

Yes, Dad.

He wondered if he was going to scold him.

Eunha waited for his next words.

If something like this happens again, . tell Daddy. Dont try to figure it out on your own. You know how great your dad is.

Yeah, okay, thanks, Dad.

His father looked unusually generous today.

I wasnt used to being protected by someone.

But this wasnt a bad thing.

Eunha walked with his father, feeling a warm feeling in his chest.

Shall we go to lunch?

Yeah! I think my sister might be done eating.

They looked at each other and smiled.

The way they walked, the way they smiled, they were father and son.

The competition ended with a victory for the blue team without any upsets.

Voila! This is the grand prize!

Thats my daughter!

Well have to eat something expensive for dinner tonight.

Eunas performance also stood out in the second round.

She took the podium as a representative of the blue team and won the grand prize.

Ugh. Captain, Ill go first.

Uh, take care of yourself.

From tomorrow, hell be able to roll.

In Part 2, Eunhyuk regained his strength, but this time he tripped over a stone beak. He was distracted by his mana allocation.

He had to be carried on his parents backs.

You cant move well. You cant fight. Youre tone-deaf. Do you have all three?

What makes you think Im tone-deaf? And youre a bad cook.

In part two, Eunha was paired with Minji to compete. They had to keep time to the beat, but he couldnt and was the first to be eliminated.

Good job today! Well go first~

See you next week~

Hayang and Seo-na left the field holding hands. Behind them, Jung Seok-hoon and Min Su-jin walked side by side.

It was over.

After sending his friends off, Eunha was alone with his thoughts.

In the end, Sena didnt return for part 2. She only informed Gina that she was withdrawing from all events.

Her pride must have been bruised.

nothing unpleasant would happen in the future.

After today, Sena realized that the power she wielded was nothing to sneeze at.

So for now, she will remain untouchable.

For now.

Nature doesnt change anytime soon.

What are you thinking about?

Nothing. Lets go, sis.

Yeah!

Taking Eunas hand, Eunha joined the crowd exiting the playground.

And with that, the first sports day came to an end.

Darkness fell over the ruins.

A man stepped on a piece of glass with his worn-out shoes. He looked out the window with broken glass fragments scattered here and there and lit a cigarette.

The man who lit the cigarette was a silent figure in the darkness.

Having done his part, the man melted into the darkness.

I guess I have to come all the way out here to hire you, huh?

The man who was smoking asked in an annoyed tone. His gaze fell upon a man wearing sunglasses who had suddenly appeared.

Sunglasses in the darkness? How strange.

The man chuckled.

The man wearing sunglasses remained silent.

The man continued talking, unfazed.

Im trying to do something really big, but there are some thorns in my side So I was hoping you could help me out a bit.

Money?

The man with sunglasses spoke firmly.

The man with the cigarette smirked. He gestured lightly, and a man emerged from the shadows.

The man carried a bag.

15 billion won upfront. If we succeed, Ill give you another 15 billion won.

The man crushed a cigarette with his foot. He waited for the man in sunglasses to answer.

The man in sunglasses replied.

OK.

The man disappeared.

Without a trace.

Huh.

As if hed seen a ghost.

The lone man burst out laughing.

Ha ha.

Very lightly.

Hahaha.

Very cheerful.

Then the laughter died away,

and the place was a darkened ruin.
