Son of a Conglomerate at the Highest Level

＜Something Magical＞

Why is my dad so cool just standing there?

I don’t know who the real father is, but he’s really good.

There is no pictorial.

I stared blankly without even realizing it.

“Hey, kid. Let’s open presents together… Eup!”

It was the quick-witted bodyguard, self-proclaimed number two, and head of the security team, Yoo Jong-tae, who claimed to be my subordinate.

Yoo Jong-tae winked at the Taesung Group bodyguards.

“Guys, let’s get rid of this ignorant gomtang.”

“yes!”

“Eup-up-up!”

Seven bodyguards from the Taesung Group clung to him, but Mr. Cheol-gu held on with his muscles.

When the bodyguards looked at Mr. Cheol-gu with tired eyes, Yoo Jong-tae widened his eyes.

“It’s the father and son I met for the first time today. Where are you going to intervene?”

“town? Ugh…”

Mr. Cheolgu quickly calmed down.

That’s how Mr. Cheol-gu was dragged out.

I ran to my feet and stood next to my father.

“What are you thinking?”

“I thought you must have been disappointed.”

“…?”

My father stopped talking and kept his mouth shut.

Instead, he gently stroked my hair.

“Dad came empty-handed.”

be empty-handed

It was a word with many meanings.

I purposely turned my head away pretending not to know.

Towards the colorful gift box that my grandfather bought a lot.

The things that Director Ko brought in like a mountain and piled up under the Christmas tree.

“Ah, it’s okay. I don’t need anything like this. Dad is a gift.”

It was sincere.

My father smiled and rummaged through his bag.

“I’d like to give you this instead.”

I was curious.

But my father picked me up and put me on his shoulder.

It was a wooden horse.

“wow!”

Eye level changed in an instant.

A gorgeous crystal chandelier shimmered as if you could touch it.

I was so excited that I smiled broadly.

The father extended his other arm.

click!

Wei Ying.

It was an instant camera.

It is often referred to as a Polaroid camera.

At this time, it would not have been officially imported into Korea yet.

“Wait a minute. Soon something magical will happen.”

My father fluttered the Polaroid photos.

Little by little, as time goes by, the face becomes more and more clear.

“Ahh······!”

My father and I were laughing broadly against the background of the Christmas tree.

Guess who isn’t father and son?

It was the exact same expression.

“It’s like real magic.”

“yes?”

Taking pictures with my father like this.

Father, to me it is a miracle and magic itself.

You probably don’t know.

Wookwang Construction President’s Office.

The president of Woo Kwang Construction could not contain his anger.

It was because of the complaint calls that were coming in one after another.

“Chief Kim, please calm down and speak slowly. I’ll check the facts first… Congressman Kim? hello?”

The phone had already hung up.

“How many of these are there!”

bang!

President Woo Kwang Construction put down the phone roughly as if he were going to break it.

“Why did the lawmakers say that they got sick from taking bribes from the wind in the morning! These f*cking bastards!”

A fire boiled in his stomach.

“When they said they would give money, they jumped out with tabi and bowed as if they were going to give away everything, including liver and gallbladder! You come now, wipe your mouth and question me as if you were asking when did you see me? These ungrateful bastards!”

follow. Follow me!

“Unplug that damn phone line right now!”

“yes.”

Now the boss’s office has become a little quieter.

However, the president of Woo Kwang Construction had already been twisted as much as possible.

“If these bastards didn’t go crazy after eating rat poison at the same time, there’s no way this sh*t would happen as a group.”

Bribery has unspoken rules.

The one who ate it should shut up and pay for it.

It was clearly an act of ignoring the rules to rush at the water owner with crab foam before paying for it.

‘All those who do politics are the ones who have been in the middle of the day. It’s not like he’s going crazy because he doesn’t know the rules.’

smart smart jump!

“Boss, the vice president is urgently requesting a phone connection. He said it was a big deal!”

“Why is the vice president making such a fuss today?”

“The vice president went to the Taesung Hotel to sign a technical agreement with Japanese officials. I don’t know why you’re calling me so urgently…”

“Could there be a problem in the technology agreement process?”

The president of Woo Kwang Construction has changed his complexion.

If it’s Taeseong, I don’t know.

Woo-gwang was evaluated as inferior to Tae-seong by several orders of magnitude in architecture, especially civil engineering.

So, didn’t it take a lot of time and effort to introduce Japanese technology?

“If we don’t get the civil engineering method for underground facilities in Japan, we can’t even start the subway line 2 construction and have to get out of hand!”

Where did the problem come from?

Clearly, negotiations were going smoothly with the Japanese side as well.

We laughed at each other and promised the future.

“Secretary Choi, plug in the phone line right now!”

“I just finished connecting the phone line…!”

Follow me!

“Are you the vice president?”

-Boss, it’s a big deal! Everyone, including Yoshimoto of the Japan Transportation Bureau and the president of the Japan Expressway Transport Agency, will return to Japan!

“what?”

Until yesterday, the atmosphere was so friendly and good.

– I’m leaving in three hours! There was even a physical fight because I was told I couldn’t take a taxi right now!

Woo Kwang Construction CEO jumped up.

“Catch it somehow! Hang on so you can’t go to the airport! Tear up your plane ticket! Take away your passport!”

It could be a big diplomatic rudeness, but now wasn’t the time to care about that.

Once you’ve caught it, you can slowly solve it through conversation.

Because rudeness is a problem that can be smoothed out with thick sincerity.

“Stay by all means until I go!”

Throwing away the phone, the president of Woo Kwang Construction ran out.

Secretary Choi ran after him.

Woo Kwang Construction CEO shouted as soon as he got into the car.

“Go to Taesung Hotel! at full speed! Step on the accelerator! As far as it goes!”

My father brought a small wooden clip and tried to hang the picture on the tree.

Just right at eye level so I can see well.

My father got down on one knee and looked for a suitable seat, then suddenly smiled.

“How rare. Why are there so many golden beads hanging only under the tree…”

“Ah, that is my taste.”

I smiled lightly.

“I like big nuggets of gold.”

“It is a very groundbreaking and artistic tree. Good job.”

My father gently stroked my hair.

The first picture of our father and son was taken just right at my eye level.

In the picture, we looked happy.

“Junghyuk, thank you for protecting my mother when my father was gone.”

My father gave me a small pat on the shoulder.

“From now on, Dad will protect Jeong-Hyeok and Mom.”

I felt good even when I was looking at it, and I felt good even when I closed my eyes.

Swoop.

I mustered up the courage to hold my father’s hand.

“Thank you, Dad.”

I held my father’s hand tightly.

“For choosing me and my mother.”

I could see the floor-to-ceiling windows of the living room over my father’s shoulder.

Snowflakes were still falling from the sky.

It should have landed on top of the snowman family like cotton candy.

“I was really happy.”

I could feel the strength in my father’s hands.

Firmly, like a person who vows not to let go of this small hand.

My father held my hand like that.

“I was sorry earlier. Were you very scared?”

“no.”

I grinned.

“It was great. really!”

“It’s cool, but you’re even cooler.”

Dad grinned too.

“The way I stopped my grandpa so my mom wouldn’t cry was really brave. It must have been very scary.”

Why is my heart tickling?

“Looking at you, you are better than me. thanks. For comforting my grandfather.”

My ears felt hot for some reason, so I quickly averted my eyes.

My eyes caught the picture of my father and me hanging on the Christmas tree.

Oops!

“Dad, wait!”

I left my father and ran away.

It was to bring my mother.

jump!

“mom!”

“huh?”

“Daddy brought something really strange! You’re seeing it for the first time! So hurry up!”

To me, who had lived in the 21st century, it was nothing new, but to my mother, it would be different.

“What the hell is going on? oh!”

click!

Wei Ying.

It was the workmanship of his father, who had followed him to the front door before he knew it.

The mother’s eyes widened at the sudden attack.

“What was that just about? camera?”

“Similar.”

My father sent the Polaroid photos fluttering this time as well.

A face that gradually becomes clearer.

In the picture, the mother was making a surprised expression, but she was as pretty as an angel.

“pretty.”

I agreed with what my father said.

“It’s really pretty!”

The mother’s face instantly turned red.

He put his hands on his cheeks and was embarrassed.

However, as strange as the Polaroid photo is, both eyes remained fixed on the photo.

“How come the picture came out right like this? Even if you go to a photo studio to make prints, it will take quite a while.”

Mother smiled broadly, her eyes twinkling.

“It’s really magical.”

“Yes? Are you really curious? Dad said it was my gift!”

I smiled broadly.

My father’s expression softened too.

“You take care of your mother. You are nice.”

It was sweet like cotton candy and hazy like a dream.

To me, this moment is truly magical.

please let this time last forever

I begged and prayed in my heart.

“Let’s take a picture in front of the Christmas tree! We will hang our family photos there!”

“Huh? It’s okay, Jung Hyuk. Slow down a little.”

“Quickly! Hurry up!”

I took my mother’s hand and went down to the living room and stood in front of the Christmas tree.

A quick-witted bodyguard, self-proclaimed number two, bodyguard team leader Yoo Jong-tae, who claims to be my subordinate, raised his hand.

“Today I will be a photographer!”

Father obediently handed over the instant camera to Yoo Jong-tae.

Yoo Jong-tae, who took over the camera, began demanding specific poses as if he were a professional photographer.

“Mother and Father, stick closer together! more affectionately! Put your hand on your shoulder! Mother, lean on father’s shoulder! To the point where you want to completely bury your body! okay!”

also. That’s why he’s a quick-witted guy.

click! Wei Ying.

“Father, hug our little boy tighter! Mother, I have to fall into my father’s arms! Hug your waist until you’re crushed! okay!”

click! Wei Ying.

It looks like the Christmas tree will be enriched with our family’s laughter.

Chairman Cha’s car entered the Taeseong Hotel smoothly.

Chief Koh, who took the steering wheel, frowned.

“It’s a strange fight.”

Several people were tangled up in front of the Taesung Hotel’s main entrance.

The angry Japanese cursed in Japanese, and the people in suits held on to their pants by the crotch.

Some even lie on the road in front of the taxi with a large letter.

“What is all this fuss about?”

Chairman Cha rolled down the window.

“What are the Taesung Hotel security guards doing! There was such a big commotion in front of the front gate, and I didn’t know what to do!”

“Chairman, are you here?”

The manager of the Taesung Hotel came running in a state of dismay.

Her hair, which had always been well-groomed, was bald, and her clothes, which she had sharpened with a sharp knife, were crumpled and torn.

It seems that I was not the only one who suffered so much to tear them apart.

“Chief Ko, you sort out this commotion!”

“Yes, I understand.”

Chief Goh got out of the car.

A 2-meter muscular giant strode forward and shouted loudly.

“Everyone, stop fighting right now and step back!”

His tone was polite, but his actions were not.

Holding an iron pipe and holding on like Jeongseung, the feeling of intimidation was great.

“If you ignore the warning, we are not responsible if you get hurt!”
