Kim Ho-geol, the senior engineer who was sitting across from him, smiled and filled Yoo-hyun’s glass.
“I didn’t know you were such a cheerful person, Yoo-hyun.”
“Hahaha. You too, team leader.”
Yoo-hyun’s words made Kim Ho-geol look at himself holding the bottle.
His shoulders were still shaking with laughter.
Kim Ho-geol made an awkward expression and opened his mouth.
“Well, I’m feeling very good right now.”
Yoo-hyun took the bottle and filled Kim Ho-geol’s glass.
Then Kim Ho-geol raised his glass and said.
“So, you’re going to Hansung Tower now, right?”
“Yes. I have to prepare for the final presentation there.”
Yoo-hyun met Kim Ho-geol’s earnest gaze and extended his glass.
Yoo-hyun smiled brightly and said.
“Don’t worry about the presentation.”
Kim Ho-geol emptied his glass and curled his lips.
“Don’t worry about the panel either. Maeng Gi-yong will do well.”
It was at that moment.
Maeng Gi-yong, who was drunk as a skunk, crawled over with a bottle in his hand.
“Did you talk about me?”
“Hehe. Yeah. Aren’t you leaving soon?”
“Ugh. I’m dying, really.”
Maeng Gi-yong sighed deeply at Kim Ho-geol’s words.
It was understandable because this trip was not just a simple exhibition participation.
He had to fit the new panel to the Apple mockup, and set it up according to Apple’s wishes.
The pre-schedule alone was more than a week long.
He could easily imagine that he would be working all night long and being bossed around during that period.
He didn’t have to go there to picture it.
Yoo-hyun joked with Maeng Gi-yong.
“But it’s better than going with the group leader, right?”
“Hey, I’d rather do that. What if it doesn’t work before he arrives?”
“It will work. We prepared thoroughly. What are you worried about?”
“No. I feel like it won’t work. I’ve been having nightmares for days.”
As Maeng Gi-yong kept mumbling weakly, Kim Ho-geol comforted him.
It was also the team leader’s role to calm down the shaky team members.
“Don’t worry. This will be a great experience for you.”
“Team leader, it’s really too much pressure for me.”
“You have to take responsibility as our company’s representative…”
As Maeng Gi-yong listened to Kim Ho-geol’s words and nodded, Yoo-hyun interrupted him with a startle.
He shouldn’t give more pressure to someone who was already scared.
“Maeng senior, forget about being a representative and enjoy yourself. The team leader will take care of the responsibility. Right?”
Kim Ho-geol, who realized his mistake late, smiled and raised his glass.
“Huh? Oh, hehe. Yeah. Enjoy yourself.”
Maeng Gi-yong, whose shoulders were slumped, extended his glass.
“Yoo-hyun, you have to come quickly.”
“You go ahead. I’ll catch up soon.”
“Yeah. You should do that.”
As the three of them were about to clink their glasses,
Lee Jin-mok, who was drunk out of his mind, pointed at Yoo-hyun.
“Hey? Is that Han Yoo-hyun who’s leaving tomorrow?”
Then people reflexively called out Yoo-hyun’s name.
“Han Yoo-hyun. Han Yoo-hyun. Han Yoo-hyun.”
Yoo-hyun got up from his seat and looked around.
Everyone was looking at him with affectionate eyes.
He had a lot to say, but it wasn’t time yet.
At times , slogans were better than words.
Yoo-hyun held up his glass and shouted with all his strength in his stomach.
At that moment, the same scene flashed in everyone’s minds.
It was soccer that they had played together until they dropped dead.
The people who were whining quickly regained their composure and shouted out their slogan.
“Senior! Senior! Fighting!”
Clang. Clang. Clang. Clang.
Glasses clashed busily everywhere.
Yoo-hyun emptied his glass and said loudly.
“Han Yoo-hyun. Han Yoo-hyun. Han Yoo-hyun.”
People’s cheers rang out once again.
He had to leave Ulsan for at least 20 days until he stayed at Hansung Tower and went on a trip to the US.
Yoo-hyun called Hyun-jin before he left.
“Jin-gun, congratulations on your brother’s safe discharge.”
-Haha. Yeah. I actually came home for a while to see him.
“I know. I’m also going to be away for a while, so I called you.”
-Where are you going?
Yoo-hyun explained the rough situation.
Hyun-jin, who was listening, exclaimed in admiration.
“Yoo-hyun, you’re really amazing. It’s not easy to present in the US, you know.”
It wasn’t something that the guy who would shake the world in the near future would say.
Yoo-hyun chuckled and said.
“Let’s have a drink when I get back.”
-Yeah, let’s do that. I have a lot of things to tell you anyway.
“Keep it to yourself. I’ll bring a lot of stories too.”
-Okay. Come back safely.
Hyun-jin’s warm voice came over the phone.
He had become so close with him, whom he could never get along with in the past.
His brother, who had been sacrificed in the past explosion, had returned healthy.
The future had changed .
And maybe he could create a more awesome future with Hyun-jin.
Yoo-hyun was very excited about what was ahead.
Yoo-hyun, who had finished all his preparations, boarded the train to Seoul.
He sat by the window and quietly looked out.
The changing scenery was quite interesting.
He spent his time leisurely like that.
His phone rang and he checked it. It was a text from Lee Ae-rin.
-Yoo-hyun, I saw the article. You’re so cool. The best.
What the hell was that? He wondered when another text came.
It was from Jung In-wook, who had drunk himself to death with him yesterday.
-You beat up some thugs at the car center? What are you doing, man?
He had a flash of memory in his mind.
It was the photo that Kim Yeon-guk, the reporter, had taken at Kim Hyun-soo’s car center a while ago.
Was that article out now?
Yoo-hyun was thinking about it when a text bomb flew in.
In the meantime, a phone call came in too.
Yoo-hyun covered the microphone with his hand and quietly answered the phone.
“Yes, Oh Eun-bi reporter.”
-Yoo-hyun, did you see Kim reporter’s article? It’s really amazing, isn’t it?
-I was going to tell you when I wrote his article…
As Oh Eun-bi reporter kept babbling on, Yoo-hyun stopped her.
“I’m sorry, but I’m on a train right now.”
-Huh? Are you coming to Seoul? On a business trip?
She had a good intuition for useless things.
Yoo-hyun, who was planning to meet her later anyway, answered right away.
“Yes, that’s how it turned out.”
-Okay. Then I’ll see you when you get here.
Text messages kept coming while he was on the phone.
When he checked, they were all about the article.
What kind of article was it that caused such a fuss?
It was a much stronger reaction than when he interviewed with his part-timers last time.
The message from the gym manager that arrived then cleared up some of Yoo-hyun’s questions.
-You looked cool doing the flying kick. I’m proud of teaching you.
The photo must have been taken well.
Yoo-hyun had a creepy thought at that moment.
He received a message from Han Jaehee.
There was also a photo attached to the article.
-Puhahaha. Bro, are you going to war? Why is your expression so serious? You have to with everyone.
Yoo-hyun checked the photo on his phone screen.
It showed a monitor screen with an internet article on it.
When he saw the screen, Yoo-hyun couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
“Why did they make it so big?”
Literally, his friends’ photos were huge on the screen.
What was more funny was Yoo-hyun’s expression and posture.
He looked like he was really jumping into a fight with a lion.
His face came out perfectly, and there was even his name below it.
Someone must have seen it first and shared it like Han Jaehee did.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t have spread so fast.
Yoo-hyun’s sigh deepened.
The place Yoo-hyun headed to as soon as he arrived in Seoul was Kang Junki’s house.
It was also where he would stay during his business trip.
The first thing Yoo-hyun did when he arrived was to check the article.
Kang Junki already had the article on his monitor.
Yoo-hyun quickly scanned the content of the article.
It was definitely not a big enough incident to make the news.
But the comments and views were quite high.
It was because Kim Yeonguk, the reporter, wrote the story like a novel.
With a good ending of justice and evil, and an element of friendship, even Yoo-hyun, who knew the content, found it quite interesting to read.
Yoo-hyun chuckled and said,
“Kim Yeonguk really wrote this article with a purpose.”
“Haha. Didn’t you look great in the photo? You looked like Bruce Lee.”
“Funny kid. You worked the hardest.”
Anyone could see that he looked like he worked the hardest among them.
He jumped a head higher than his friends.
Yoo-hyun shook his head and said,
“Let’s go out and eat. I’ll buy you a meal as a thank you for letting me stay.”
“No way. What if someone asks for your autograph?”
Kang Junki laughed and patted his shoulder.
In the end, Yoo-hyun ordered delivery food and had a drink with Kang Junki.
Kang Junki seemed to be in a very good mood because of the article.
Yoo-hyun asked him with an incredulous expression,
“Do you like it that much?”
“I do. How about Junseok? He must be happier.”
“Don’t say that. He called me all the way here.”
Yoo-hyun said with an annoyed tone and Kang Junki poured him more alcohol.
“You’re lucky. Oh, I got another reward this time.”
“Because of the mockup?”
“Yeah. Thanks to having a good friend.”
“What are you talking about? You did well.”
They clinked their glasses and Yoo-hyun heard about the situation at Semi Electronics from Kang Junki.
Semi Electronics was booming day by day after Apple’s statement.
Thanks to that, everyone was busy too.
“It is, right? That’s why I have to go to work tomorrow too?”
“They pay you extra for that. You have nothing to do anyway.”
“Haha. I hate myself for not being able to deny it.”
Kang Junki laughed and handed him another glass.
Then he said something pointless,
“Don’t go to the wedding hall. Just go to work with me.”
“Hey, that’s better. If you go there now, it’ll be chaos.”
“The article came out. You said you got a lot of texts too.”
Yoo-hyun laughed out loud in disbelief,
“They’re just joking. I don’t care. Am I a celebrity or something?”
“Yeah. Stop talking nonsense and have a drink.”
Yoo-hyun held out his glass and Kang Junki clinked it with his.
The two men’s conversation lasted for a long time.
Yoo-hyun, who went to the wedding hall, had to correct what he said to Kang Junki yesterday.
People were overreacting a bit.
The one who led the charge was Park Seungwoo, the deputy he hadn’t seen in a long time.
He met him at the entrance of the wedding hall building and hugged Yoo-hyun with his arms outstretched.
“Who is this? The living hero of the citizens, Han Yoo-hyun?”
“Deputy, don’t overdo it.”
“Hahaha. Hey, I didn’t know you were so good at flying kicks.”
Park Seungwoo’s words were not just because of the photo.
