Chapter 89

People Who Came to Clap

These bastards, confirmed as beating up by entangling together.

‘Then just decide how much to beat up and end. Beat up moderately easily and quickly? Or even putting a bit more effort, grow the scale and feed a critical hit?’

It was when busily rolling the head looking down at Bulgwang-dong Gasoline who held foam and fainted.

“Kid, why is your expression so serious?”

Uncle Cheol-gu was looking into my face worriedly.

“Panting just for running this much. Come, try following uncle. Hup hup, haa- hup hup, haa-”

A breathing method I’ve seen a lot somewhere?

“Isn’t that the breathing method that mothers use when giving birth to babies?”

“Don’t know, kid. Anyway the best for breathing well. Follow. Hup hup, haa-, hup hup, haa-”

“······.”

“Yes, now became a bit like a kid. Were you surprised a lot earlier?”

No way.

“Kid, a few balloons bursting, a wall poster tearing a bit is nothing. Does a good matter become a bad matter by doing that?”

Uncle Cheol-gu grinned and stroked my head roughly.

“If a man, just laugh over such matters. What running all the way here again······ Ahcha, head!”

Uncle Cheol-gu began busily moving hands saying organizing my head that he messed up back.

“Our kid going up on the podium and personally awarding the support funds, have to appear coolly with a snap.”

What’s so great about that.

Trying to groom even the sideburns catching angles.

“Recall why the event is opening there today. You saved the futures of sick children, the families suffering from illness from despair. Do you know how many people that is?”

The Taeseong families that I ended up supporting hospital fees were twenty-five households.

“To them, you would be a kid hero? So spread the chest wide, spread the shoulders wide. Understood?”

Uncle Cheol-gu held my body and corrected the posture and smiled innocently.

‘With that skill, only receiving such treatment at the Central Intelligence Agency.’

A skill that would be evaluated as upper line even compared to nationwide gangsters in the back alleys is regrettable.

‘Want to make succeed, or pull out as my security guard.’

Uncle Cheol-gu blinked both eyes.

“Why looking at me with such eyes? Aha!”

Uncle Cheol-gu rummaged the pocket.

“Want to eat?”

It was silver pills.

Then Yu Jong-tae ran waving his hand.

“Young Master, now soon will start the Taeseong family patient helping event. Shall we go slowly?”

“The scary uncles who were going around with this person?”

“Those guys tied and stuck in the hospital warehouse over there. Our kids are guarding so no need to worry.”

Yu Jong-tae looked down at Bulgwang-dong Gasoline holding foam with cold eyes.

The torch that Uncle Cheol-gu discovered groping the bosom was placed nearby.

“These bastards’ quality is really not good. From the guys’ bosoms, such a thing came out. Gasoline.”

“A bastard who doesn’t even smoke cigarettes carrying a torch, carrying gasoline in a glass water bottle? This is really suspicious?”

I asked subtly.

“Then is uncle dragging these guys to the Central Intelligence Agency and investigating?”

“No. Have to watch and if a problem occurs, investigate. Kid, in the Republic of Korea. There is something called the principle of presumption of innocence.”

Uncle Cheol-gu placed the glass water bottle with gasoline side by side next to Bulgwang-dong Gasoline’s torch.

“The words that just carrying such a thing doesn’t become a sin. Do you think the Central Intelligence Agency is some gangster den?”

Such a frustrating person.

Then how did these guys get caught by the tail and dragged to the Central Intelligence Agency?

Then from the hospital main gate side, noisiness began to spread.

Click! Click! Click! Click!

Camera flashes burst noisily, and the sound of people murmuring was also heard.

Luxury sedans were entering in a line.

Earlier Director Song said the rumor that U-gwang side people come to this hospital for condolences after the U-gwang Hospital joint funeral ends is circulating.

Clack.

‘Hey, guardian deity.’

[Why?]

‘Go see.’

The underworld messenger ran quickly shashasak.

* * *

The eyes of the underworld messenger that seeped among people watched the front.

The U-gwang people who were waiting in front of the Taeseong Hospital main gate.

They were adjusting the objects to throw with the intention of throwing immediately.

Among them, several wearing vests ‘U-gwang Union’ were also visible.

U-gwang wake up!>, <​U-gwang family died!>, <​Compensate the damage! also holding pickets.

‘Wait! There are grandfather’s car and President Shim’s car too!’

The U-gwang people wouldn’t know that.

‘No, everyone waiting for U-gwang not coming, why did our Taeseong come in a bunch like this? Doing this will suffer a misfortune!’

I shouted in fluster.

“Grandfather! President Shim!”

But a sound answering from next to me was heard.

It was Yu Jong-tae.

“Oh, the Young Master also knew? Of course the chairman, even the affiliate executives who participated in the donation contacted saying will attend the event.”

Surprised.

‘Sharing field of view with the underworld messenger, conversation with the person next to is possible?’

Didn’t know because never tried!

“Team Leader Yu, what to do if grandfather and Taeseong Group people suffer a misfortune.”

“So we came. Don’t worry. The skill of Taeseong Group’s 1st security team led by Manager Go is the best.”

Is that so?

I concentrated on the field of view that the underworld messenger shows.

The van door opened and the large muscular giant Manager Go including Taeseong Group security guards got off in a rush.

“Everyone step aside! Taeseong Group chairman and affiliate executives!”

The U-gwang people who were trying to throw throwing objects flinched.

“Why did the Taeseong Group chairman come here?”

“Yes, if the U-gwang Group chairman, might not know!”

“Came to attend the Taeseong family patient helping event! Everyone please yield the way!”

At Manager Go’s gesture, the Taeseong Group security guards ran over in a rush and formed a human barricade.

To make a path for grandfather and Taeseong’s affiliate executives to walk.

“Manager Go, stop!”

“Chairman.”

“If people get hurt forcing a path, no!”

The U-gwang people were very flustered seeing grandfather who got off the car.

“Really the Taeseong Group chairman?”

Following behind, from the sedans lined up in a line, Taeseong’s affiliate executives got off without distinction.

Click! Click! Click!

The reporters who gathered to cover any possible collision continuously burst camera flashes.

Broadcast station correspondents and coverage reporters also turned on the broadcast station cameras.

“Cha Tae-seong of Taeseong Group!”

Grandfather looked around the murmuring U-gwang people and opened his mouth.

“On such a cold day, came out in advance to the front of the Taeseong Hospital main gate? Receiving such welcome, don’t know where to put the body! Thank you!”

Even looking at the throwing objects the U-gwang people were holding, grandfather smiled.

“Didn’t know so many people would have deep interest in the Taeseong family patient helping event!”

A U-gwang side person shouted with a burst.

“We didn’t gather to see Taeseong’s event! To welcome Chairman Kim of U-gwang and affiliate presidents······.”

“U-gwang won’t come.”

“What?”

“Just coming from offering condolences at the U-gwang Hospital joint memorial altar. Didn’t see the U-gwang chairman and affiliate presidents. The politicians also all finished condolences and dispersed.”

The U-gwang people were greatly indignant.

Several burst the endured curses or shed resentful and unjust tears.

“Everyone, rather than waiting for U-gwang that doesn’t come, let’s disperse now and eat rice together! The prepared lunch boxes and drinks are also generous!”

When grandfather gestured, the Taeseong Group security guards began taking down objects in boxes from the van.

Steel lunch boxes with the Taeseong logo stuck were piled full.

“Don’t tremble here in the cold and enter inside! Will treat one cup of warm tea each!”

Grandfather walked with big strides fluttering the long coat.

The U-gwang people who blocked the hospital main gate only murmured not knowing what to do, and no one readily stepped aside.

Manager Go sent an eye gesture to the Taeseong Group security guards.

At the moment of what if armed collision occurs, father’s car arrived.

Seeing father who got off the car, the U-gwang people let out cheers like thunder.

“Taeseong Construction President Cha!”

“President Cha, thanks to the medical support that came then, our son lived!”

“Thanks to the president, mother could receive the surgery!”

“Taeseong Construction even set up all the temporary tents so that guardians and bereaved families can rest?”

“Also received the blankets and lunch boxes provided well! Really thank you!”

The cheers toward father were very hot.

“The Taeseong family patient helping scheduled today is an event planned and presided by the son of Taeseong Construction President Cha, my eight-year-old youngest grandson. Hahaha!”

Grandfather burst into a hearty laugh.

“A charity event helping young patients suffering from illness, everyone please come and shine the meaningful place. Seong-jun!”

“Yes, father. Going.”

When father walked, the U-gwang people blocking the Taeseong Hospital main gate split left and right with a whoosh.

Like Moses appearing and the Red Sea splitting.

A path was made in an instant.

The fathers smiled gently and said.

“Everyone please enter together too. If possible, if clapping once for my son, would be thankful.”

“Yes! Of course!”

“I’ll clap the largest!”

At father’s one word, the U-gwang people followed in a rush without complaint.

When father stood side by side next to grandfather, grandfather put a hand on father’s shoulder with a thud.

“Well done.”

A blunt one word.

But inside that, pride was fully soaked.

Grandfather’s mouth corner soared to the sky unable to hide, and strength attached to the steps of Taeseong’s affiliate presidents and executives.

Click! Click! Click! Click!

The cameras of the media and broadcast stations turned without rest.

No need for Manager Go and the Taeseong Group security guards to pay attention to safety control.

“Wow!”

One of the people wearing U-gwang Union vests who entered the hospital burst an exclamation.

“At U-gwang even people dying, not even the chairman let alone affiliate executives’ one hair visible, here saying helping sick families, from the chairman to affiliate executives ran out and shook pockets!”

Because saw the large banner attached in the hospital lobby.

The topmost box there with names and donation amounts specified had grandfather and my names stuck side by side.

Click! Click! Click! Click!

Someone stuck next to the reporters and slightly whispered.

It was a Taeseong Group 5th team security guard that Yu Jong-tae was leading.

“Did you read the wall poster? Heard started by the son of Taeseong Construction president revealing the meaning of wanting to help Taeseong family as new year wish. And the affiliate executives participated in that meaning.”

The uncle who shouted thank you largely to father quickly agreed.

“As expected! Like father like son!”

An uncle I’ve never seen once.

“Saying shaking all the new year money and helping patients. Where is that an ordinary heart? All resembling the father!”

“Then, if other kids, would they have done so? Busy pondering what to buy with new year money! Different from the sprout!”

The Taeseong Group security guard nodded largely.

“Like that the Taeseong chairman family and affiliate executives joined forces and supported the hospital fees of twenty-five households?”

“What? Our U-gwang people died, but the death consolation money is 300,000 won!”

“And the injured people? Not even hospital fee subsidy, no salary saying punctured the factory work!”

“So we got heated! Really too much even doing!”

Manager Go opened his mouth.

“Everyone, please be quiet here so that the young patients are not surprised.”

The place Manager Go pointed.

Small children wearing patient clothes and receiving IV were gathered in a corner of the hospital lobby.

The young patients were chattering saying the hospital fee worry lessened and laughing.

Seeing that appearance, the U-gwang people closed their mouths and stood in a line.

“Come, receive the lunch boxes!”

“The drinks Taeseong prepared are a bit cold!”

“Put a lot of water kettles on the oil stove! Later after the event ends, have one cup of coffee each and go!”

Grandfather sat on the bench prepared in the front row.

Grandfather tilted his head toward Secretary Kim and said small.

“Someone seemed to have tried to ruin my precious child’s event.”

Because of the torn banner, burst balloons, crumpled and torn wall poster, the podium with footprints stamped.

“A unfilial child, give a bit of a scolding.”

“Yes, chairman. The bastard worse than a dog, who received whose instigation, with what intention set mind and tried to ruin Taeseong’s event, will definitely find out and punish certainly.”

Inside the silver-rimmed glasses, Secretary Kim’s eyes flashed coldly and fiercely.

“Anyway, seems better to send to the Seobinggo water torture room. So that doesn’t even dare to ruin the Young Master’s event again.”

“That you handle yourself.”

“Just in time there is one suitable talent. A Central Intelligence Agency agent who delivered the U-gwang Construction bribe ledger to Taeseong but didn’t receive a proper reward.”

“If established merit, have to receive reward. Push that friend’s back certainly.”

“Yes, chairman. In this opportunity, I’ll take responsibility and open that friend’s path to success.”

Grandfather nodded and tilted his head toward father sitting next to him.

“Seong-jun, anyway have to take charge of the hospital expansion construction.”

“Yes, father.”

“Tsk, put on Taeseong’s name but no spacious hall. Opening my precious child’s event in the corner of the hospital lobby. Taeseong Hospital, let’s build about five times larger than now.”

“Father, the budget······.”

“Build in Jeong-hyeok’s name.”

“The budget overflows. Rather than expanding here, will newly build ten times the scale in the middle of Gangnam.”

Director Song stood in front of the podium with the Taeseong logo stuck and turned on the megaphone.

“Come, from now on will start the Taeseong family patient helping event.”

But grandfather shouted with a burst.

“Not yet! Our Jeong-hyeok hasn’t come!”
