"How was Hyun?"
Eric of the North touched his chin with a thick hand. His strong, square jaw quirked greatly.
"You cooked really well."
Eric pretended to close his eyes as if he was reminiscing about the past. Why does the sight of his dry lips wiping away the bitterness in his voice seem so delicious?
"Would you believe that the dish made by that little boy's small hands was the best dish I've ever had at Chapel? Hyun would definitely win if he were to enter a cooking competition. Oh, my mouth is watering just thinking about it."
Eric swallowed hard and continued.
"I will never forget how Hyun helped me to keep my bearings. In my hometown, there is a saying that revenge is doubled, and kindness is repaid tenfold. Hyun was the best kid I have ever met. PD-nim, can I leave a word for Hyun?"
The camera moved up and down as if nodding its head.
"I lost the Jjimdak recipe. Write it down again."
Soon after, William sat down in the empty interview seat.
"Hyeon is, in a word, my rival."
Rival?
"Although I didn't win the prize at this competition, I don't regret it. Hyun is definitely a violinist who deserves the grand prize. Since I was at the Royal Academy of Music, I thought I was the best. Hyun is the one who completely shook up my musical values.
Joe. Someday I will definitely surpass the current."
William's face was full of confidence, just like when he first visited Brussels. After the interview, before he got up from his seat, William glanced at the producer. His hesitant appearance was completely different from his confident appearance just a moment ago.
"PD, will that scene be edited out?"
What scene?
"Ahem, you know why."
The camera shook its head firmly.
finally.
"Hyeon was really great."
Anna's eyes were filled with longing. She had a passionate look, as if she didn't want to hide it, like the blazing sun.
"While in Chapel, each participant is a partner who explores melody and at the same time a competitor who must compete with each other. That's why I couldn't approach him with such a pure heart at first. But he was different. I couldn't help but cry when I saw him comforting William. Hyun is our
He was the youngest among us, but he was deeper than anyone else. He was clearly younger than me, but he felt like an older brother to me. Also, his playing."
Anna's two lovely hands clenched in excitement. Just thinking about the melody of the strings sent shivers down her spine.
"Poh, why did you kiss me?"
Anna's cheeks are flushed. Perhaps it stands out even more because of her white skin. Okay, let's pass on this question.
"We all got help from Hyun at Chapel. He solved musical problems that no one else could solve, as if he had known all along."
Anna's platinum hair rippled wildly, showing her rich emotional changes.
"There is a legend that the god of music resides in Chapelle?"
Anna's gaze turned directly to the camera. "We may have already met."

After showering and wrapping a towel around my neck, I came out and the savory smell of soybean paste hit my nose. It seems that my mother and the housekeeper have been cooking together since morning. These days, I am really feeling that home cooking is the best. I went down to the first floor with my mouth watering.
He greets me with a strange smile.
"Hyun-ah, the documentary yesterday was really interesting."
"Documentary?"
What does that mean?
Last night, the rankings were so intense that I fell asleep as soon as I got to the mansion. The kid was so active that I was almost exhausted. If I tried to make a double bond, I would have no energy left. But a documentary?
"They said they aired a documentary about Queen Elizabeth on terrestrial TV yesterday."
"yes?"
Surely, are you talking about those filming people back then?
Before I could even answer the question, my grandfather smiled and stood up from his seat.
"Hyeon, it seems like your mother didn't wake you up because you were sleeping so soundly. Grandpa was just so happy to see you, Hyeon."
The main topic of conversation at breakfast was none other than the documentary that had aired yesterday.
"Son, I didn't know you were such a good cook! Where on earth did you learn how to make Jjimdak?"
"Haha. I learned it occasionally while watching TV."
"Hyun-ah, more than that, the way you hugged that friend named William was so mature. Dad was really touched."
Suddenly, I felt my face flush without me knowing it. I didn't expect it to air in Korea, so when on earth did they sign the copyright contract? Even more so, just listening to my parents and grandfather's stories, each scene seemed like a separate drama.
When cold sweat starts to run down my back.
"Oh, son. What's your relationship with that girl named Anna?"
My mother asked me with her eyes shining like a little girl. Then my grandfather and father looked at me with curious looks. Oh, how did the documentary come out that everyone is like this?
* * *
"Brother―!"
Deng Weiping suddenly clung to me. At first glance, they looked like very friendly brothers. Deng Zheng was watching them with great joy. It was natural that my father and I came to Gimpo Airport to see them off. A relationship is not something that is formed in an instant. Trust must be built to become a true friend.
It is the law of being reborn.
"Hyung-ah, you were on TV yesterday!"
I see you saw it too.
Somehow, there were many people who had been glancing at my face since earlier. Didn't some tourists ask me questions in a group? I had to say no several times before I could send them away. I almost got into big trouble. It would have been even worse if I didn't have a smartphone. If I had, I would have taken a lot of pictures by now.
I must have taken a hundred pictures. Next time, I'll have to figure out another way to get around it naturally.
"I am so grateful that Mr. Kang and Mr. Hyeon personally saw me off like this."
"I want to spend more time with my brother…"
"Ranking."
At the firm voice of the deungjeong, Deungwipyeong lowered his head as if he had no choice. His cheeks were rippling and his lips were sticking out, so cute that I almost pinched his cheeks without realizing it. It seemed that he had grown fond of her before he knew it, even though he was just annoyed. He had only been annoying, but now he felt a little resentful.
If you look at it.
"Chairman Deng, please accept this small favor. I hope you have a meaningful memory of your time in Korea. Here are two bottles of ginseng wine that I made myself."
My father handed me a box that he had carefully packed.
There was no need to give expensive gifts. Rather, if the price was expensive, the recipient would feel burdened and there was a high probability that the meaning would be misunderstood. Furthermore, there was a proverb in China that said to be wary of people who gave expensive items as gifts. However, if it was a gift made by oneself, that saying was different.
I think that gifts are an exchange of sincerity. There was a reason why I prepared two bottles. In China, even numbers are considered lucky and odd numbers are considered unlucky. Since I had to pay attention to even these little details, he was by no means an easy guest.
"Mr. Kang, thank you so much for giving me such a precious thing."
When Deungjeong accepted the gift with a bright smile, his father's expression also brightened. He was worried that he might not like the gift.
"I will soon be taking Mr. Kang and Mr. Hyeon to China. I hope you will stop by for a meal and a chat." "Of course, I will go if Chairman Deng calls me. It would be an honor."
While I was interpreting, I tried to suppress my surprise. My father thought it was just a polite remark, but in China, inviting someone to your home carries a lot of meaning.
"Brother, you have to come!"
Yeah, Inma!
I waved my hand vigorously toward the receding light. My father still seemed dazed. Since it was his first time entertaining a buyer, he probably couldn't tell if he did a good job or not.
"Hyun-ah, is dad okay?"
I raised my thumb without saying a word.
Father, it looks great to me, don't worry!
That was when.
"excuse me."
Two flight attendants wearing trench coats were walking towards me.
"Is that the kid that appeared in the documentary yesterday?"
Oh my, I guess my face really sold out.

Level 5 in the morning.
"Oppa―!"
In the evening, Son Yu-ha greeted me barefoot. If someone saw me, they would think I was meeting him again after ten years. However, to my grandfather, it was now a familiar sight to see him quietly bowing his head. Chairman Wang put down the landscaping shears he was holding and walked over. That old man
Whenever I see you, I always say you have great stamina.
"Hyun-ah, I enjoyed watching TV yesterday. Maybe it's because you're handsome, but you look really good on the screen. You're completely different from Chairman Yoo."
"Chairman Son, what are you talking about? Hyun-i looks exactly like me."
I thought they were best friends, but it was nice to see them bickering as soon as they met. By the way, it seemed like everyone else was watching the broadcast except me.
Moreover,
"Oppa, oppa. That part where you play the violin was so cool! And I even recorded it on video. I did a good job!"
In Pyeongchang-dong, there was even a self-proclaimed fan of mine.
widely.
Chairman Wang put down his teacup with a clank. A look of surprise was evident in his wrinkled eyes.
"Chairman Yoo, are you really determined to expand your business? You're even thinking about investing in real estate."
"Of course, isn't now the opportunity?"
There is a saying that real estate is a battle of debt. The 90s was a time when the economic growth rate was soaring that it was said to be unrealistic. When interest rates are high, debt should be low, but in the 90s, there was so much money in the market that it even broke that rule. Of course, it was all blind money. So the result
How would it have been, everyone jumped into the real estate market that was skyrocketing every day.
Of course, the whole country will be worried about the storm that will soon blow, but in the long run, it was not a bad investment. Moreover, isn't the government actively preventing real estate speculation by companies under the pretext of national guarantees? Lands that are like gold are wandering around without owners.
At that point in time, there will be a lot of land that cannot be purchased even if you have money, so if you have enough funds, it is not a bad idea to scrape it together now.
Of course, they are people who know how to do it well.
Chairman Wang's information power is already unrivaled in the country.
"And I'm thinking of buying some stocks in the name of the wise man."
"Stocks?"
"Yeah, I'm really new to this. What should I do?"
Chairman Wang seemed to be thinking about it. He probably knew what his grandfather was thinking when he said that. If he gave his mother the company's stocks, there was a chance that there would be problems with management rights. He was going to give her other company's stocks instead. At that moment, my eyes met Chairman Wang's.
"Hyun-ah, is there a company you want to work for?" It seemed like a joke, but I swallowed my saliva without realizing it.
