Chapter 333
Chapter 333
It was a while before Jang Junsik disappeared from Yoo-hyun’s sight.
Yoo-hyun suddenly thought.
Jang Junsik skipped work without permission on a weekday?
That was impossible.
Even if he was given a vacation, he would have worked hard to show up at the office. That was his personality.
But this time, he didn’t even mention the word ‘company’.
He felt that something had changed.
“He finally looks like a human being.”
Yoo-hyun turned around with a snicker.
He was lucky that he had collapsed on Friday.
He planned to rest at home until the weekend.
The aftermath of the drinking party was that bad.
But his plan had to be revised soon.
Because of a phone call from Han Jae Hee.
Yoo-hyun asked with a dumbfounded expression.
“Why are you coming to my house all of a sudden?”
-What do you mean all of a sudden? I’m your sister. Why are you so cold?
“Hey, if you were going to come, you should have told me earlier. What time are you arriving?”
-I don’t know. I’m following the navigation, but the time keeps changing.
Yoo-hyun was surprised by the word that popped out.
“What are you talking about? Are you driving here?”
-Yeah. I rented a car to go to your house.
“You can’t drive.”
-What are you talking about? If you ask me how well I can drive…
Han Jae Hee was about to brag.
Honk! Honk!
A loud horn sounded from the other side of the phone.
Bang! Bang!
-You son of a bitch!
At the same time, Han Jae Hee’s rough voice was heard.
“…”
-Um, um. Anyway, see you soon, brother.
“Don’t get into an accident.”
-Of course not. I’m the best driver.
She pretended to be confident, but her voice was clearly trembling.
He felt a bad vibe from the start.
He thought he would really get into an accident if he kept talking, so Yoo-hyun hung up quickly.
A few hours later.
Yoo-hyun was wandering around in front of the officetel building.
“When is she coming?”
She should have arrived by now, considering the location she confirmed on the phone.
She stopped answering the phone at some point, so he couldn’t help but worry.
That’s when it happened.
Screech!
A yellow compact car passed by Yoo-hyun and slammed on the brakes.
It was a ridiculous situation on an empty road.
Clank.
The door opened and Han Jae Hee got out with sunglasses on.
It was getting dark and cloudy, and she wore sunglasses, so she couldn’t see well in front of her.
Yoo-hyun asked with a dumbfounded expression.
“Hey, what are you doing? Why are you wearing sunglasses in this weather?”
“Don’t I look cool?”
Like it or not, his sister stood next to the yellow car and struck a cool pose.
It was such a ridiculous scene that Yoo-hyun could only laugh dryly.
“Yeah. You’re so cool that I’m moved.”
“I knew it. What are you doing? Hurry up and get in.”
“Why should I get in your car? This is my place.”
“We have to go to the mart to buy some drinks. I’ll treat you.”
Yoo-hyun cut off Han Jae Hee’s words sharply.
He didn’t have to see how she drove to know what it would be like.
“Do you want to die? I’d rather walk.”
“It’s not a big deal to drive. I’ll give you a nice ride.”
Next to her, he saw a novice sticker attached temporarily to the back of the car.
It was a word that didn’t match her reckless confidence at all.
Yoo-hyun blurted out his true feelings.
“Yeah, right.”
“Come on. Just try it.”
But his body was already dragged into the narrow car by his sister.
It took less than five minutes for Yoo-hyun to find out his sister’s driving skills for real.
Vroom. Screech!
Yoo-hyun grabbed the safety bar and asked urgently.
“How did you drive here?”
“Just wait. I need to concentrate.”
Why did the car keep going to the right when she was holding the steering wheel tightly?
Yoo-hyun waved his hand and shouted loudly.
“Hey! You’re out of your lane!”
“Huh? Oh. Just a second…”
Han Jae Hee moved her hands frantically in confusion.
Click, click.
“You have to turn on the blinker, not the wiper!”
“Oh my! What is this, what is this?”
Splash!
Water sprayed on the front glass out of nowhere.
The wiper was still moving left and right in the meantime.
Yoo-hyun put his hand on his throbbing forehead.
He had too many headaches yesterday and today.
“What should I do?”
“Just go forward, what else?”
Han Jae Hee said with a very positive attitude.
He couldn’t reach that level of optimism even though he was more relaxed.
On the way back, Yoo-hyun drove himself.
For his sister?
It wasn’t.
It was because his life was in danger if he rode in the car driven by Han Jae-hee in the dark evening.
A new life.
He didn’t want to end it so vainly, when there were still many things he hadn’t done.
As if he didn’t care about Yoo-hyun’s inner thoughts, Han Jae-hee pouted his lips.
“Brother, you’re no different, huh.”
“Be quiet.”
“Then go faster. A man without guts.”
“…”
He thought he shouldn’t ride in the same car with him.
Yoo-hyun made a vow to himself.
Han Jae-hee, who entered the house, spilled the alcohol and snacks he had brought on the living room floor.
He really inherited his mother’s big hands.
His sister quickly set up the table, moving busily.
She was diligent like her mother when it came to this.
Yoo-hyun suddenly had this thought and told his mother on the phone.
“Mom, Jae-hee looks just like…”
-No. Jae-hee has dad’s blood!
Then his mother’s sharp voice rang through the receiver.
He was so loud that Han Jae-hee, who was opening a vodka bottle, flinched.
His sister, who got up from her seat, walked over and snatched Yoo-hyun’s phone.
“Mom! Really, how can you do this?”
-Oh! Jae-hee, that’s because…
“I don’t want any gifts or anything anymore.”
Yoo-hyun left the two’s conversation behind and sat down on his seat.
The table was quite nicely set up.
He drank a lot yesterday, but he still wanted to drink.
It seemed to be because the type of alcohol was different.
Chirp.
Yoo-hyun poured alcohol into his empty glass and ate the snacks his sister made.
“Not bad.”
The food tasted good, maybe because she inherited her mother’s cooking skills.
She also seemed to have a knack for drawing, judging by her decent paintings.
It was when Yoo-hyun was having such thoughts and bringing the drink to his mouth.
Han Jae-hee, who had finished the call, said as if nothing had happened.
“What? Why are people so shameless?”
“Why? Can’t I do whatever I want in my house?”
When Yoo-hyun asked back, Han Jae-hee nodded his head as he sat down.
“Well. Now that I think about it, you’re right.”
“Huh? You’re quick to agree today.”
“It’s a celebration of my graduation confirmation. I have a generous heart today.”
“It’s because there’s alcohol in front of you.”
“Why do you ruin the mood? You should congratulate me at times like this.”
Han Jae-hee held out his glass and winked his nose.
Yoo-hyun paused for a moment.
His sister had done a lot of things for him and helped out at his mother’s store while studying.
He was proud of her personality, which was different from her appearance.
Yoo-hyun put that feeling into his glass and held it out.
“You’ve worked hard.”
“Yeah. I worked harder because of you.”
“Do you regret it?”
“Of course not. How could I?”
He shrugged his shoulders and clinked glasses with Han Jae-hee, who drank it all at once.
It was amazing how he drank vodka with such a high alcohol content like water.
He applauded him silently in his mind and asked his sister, who was calmly eating snacks.
“Are you going to work right after you graduate?”
“I don’t know. Maybe?”
“I’m meeting Mr. Jang tomorrow. You’ll get an answer then.”
Han Jae-hee nodded his head at Yoo-hyun’s words and sparkled his eyes.
“Yeah. He said he had good news. I wonder what it is? I hope he tells me to join the company right away.”
“Why? So you can drink for free at company dinners?”
“No way. It’s cool, isn’t it? To make the design that customers want in one shot and get applause.”
Han Jae-hee gestured in the air and continued with anticipation.
It was obvious that he had some delusions, but Yoo-hyun only tackled him in his mind.
‘You’ll probably have to revise it hundreds of times until you swear at the customer in front of them.’
“And stick the designs on the wall and discuss with your colleagues.”
‘That’s what your boss put up to scold you.’
“And drink coffee leisurely and talk about the future. Wow. Isn’t this a successful life of a career woman?”
‘You’ll freeze to death. Working all night with a swollen head.’
Yoo-hyun’s life as a designer was not as glamorous as his sister dreamed of.
Rather, it was similar to when the engineers at Ulsan factory worked all night when they were busy.
Of course, there was no need to break her illusion at this point, so Yoo-hyun just listened.
Han Jae-hee, who was talking, asked Yoo-hyun, who was keeping his mouth shut.
“Huh? Brother, why is your expression like that?”
“No. I was praying for your successful company life.”
“Then don’t just pray for your pretty sister’s cool company life, but also cheers with me.”
“Cheers.”
Clang.
Han Jae-hee clinked glasses with Yoo-hyun and smiled brightly.
He still had a dreamy expression on his face.
Han Jae-hee’s dream disappeared like smoke the next day.
Baekje Hotel, 1st floor restaurant.
Yoo-hyun and his sister met with Jang Hye-min, the manager.
Jang Hye-min smiled and said the first words.
“So, what I’m saying is, Jae-hee, you…”
Han Jae-hee was startled by the last words of Jang Hye-min, who had been listening quietly.
“What? America?”
“Yeah, America. I wish you could leave right now.”
“Why? I have to go to the company to help a little bit…”
Han Jae-hee waved his hands anxiously, but Jang Hye-min’s mind was firm.
“I wish I could work with you right away. But Jae-hee, once you enter the company, you can’t make opportunities easily.”
“That’s true.”
Yoo-hyun intervened and Jang Hye-min nodded his head.
“That’s right. So I contacted LA Design School in advance.”
“You’re fast.”
“It’s company work.”
“Thank you for your concern.”
Yoo-hyun thanked him and Jang Hye-min smiled.
“I knew Mr. Han would understand.”
“It’s a good opportunity. You can learn for free. Of course you have to go.”
“Of course. It will be a great help for Jae-hee too.”
This was what Yoo-hyun wanted too.
Han Jae-hee had talent, but he thought he got everything because of his brother’s luck.
His lack of English and skills made him fear foreign life.
To break this?
He had to face it head on.
That was the best way.
It was when Yoo-hyun nodded his head with that thought.
Han Jae-hee, who had been rolling his eyes fiercely, seemed to have no choice but to muster up his courage.
“Man, manager, I don’t think I can do it.”
“Why?”
“How can I go when I can’t speak English? I’d rather stay in Korea…”
“You don’t need to use English. Just speak with your design.”
Jang Hye-min cut off Han Jae-hee’s words in one word.
It was a direction that the culprit couldn’t even think of.
But she looked confident as if she really thought so.
