Episode 229.
The price of the treatment is one thousand won.
An inexplicable silence descended on the chairman’s office.
Han Min-ah looked like she had been hit in the head with a hammer.
He was staring blankly at Siwoo with his mouth slightly open.
Siwoo didn’t say anything to Han Min-ah.
How much time has passed like that?
“the reason is….”
Han Min-ah opened her mouth, breaking the silence.
However, perhaps because of the shock, Han Min-ah cleared her throat and opened her mouth again.
“What is the reason?”
Han Min-ah’s shock was accompanied by questions.
“To be honest, I don’t think it would matter even if it was 100 million.”
know.
What does 100 million mean?
Even if you call it a billion, those who want to live will live.
Maybe even if you call it 10 billion, people will still buy it.
No, I will grab Siwoo by the leg of his pants and beg him to sell it to me.
“Didn’t you need money?”
This was also true.
Of course, this was covered to some extent by selling the equipment.
But the subscription fee for the crazy GodTube required steady money.
“But why on earth…?”
Han Min-ah’s expression is completely incomprehensible.
Of course, it’s not like Siwoo didn’t think the same as Han Min-ah.
To be honest, that’s what I was going to do.
Even when I was talking to the hospital director, I was filled with such dreams.
Still, the reason why the price of the treatment was set at 1,000 won.
“I don’t know if you know, but just a few months ago, I was extremely poor.”
Nowadays, a few hundred million is considered ‘just’ or ‘something like that.’
But just a few months ago, I would have been shaking my hands at the thought of a few tens of thousands of won.
“I couldn’t afford Seo-ah’s medical expenses.”
To be honest, I felt resentful.
There have been dozens of times when I wished I wasn’t a family.
There were more than one or two times when I thought about just throwing it away.
I must confess… there were countless times when I wished Seo-ah would just die.
And did God answer Si-woo’s prayer?
Seo-ah attempted suicide.
The reason was simple.
Because I don’t want to hold onto my brother’s ankle.
Fortunately, the suicide attempt ended in a stalemate, but it was not Seo-ah’s will.
The fact that the place where the suicide was attempted was SH Hospital, the best in South Korea, was what made it that way.
Siwoo didn’t say anything as he watched Seoah wake up.
Why did you do that? I didn’t ask why.
I didn’t even get angry and say, “How much have I done for you!”
He hugged Seo-ah.
He hugged me without saying a word.
Seo-ah’s body in his arms was so thin.
The reason was unknown.
The tears that had not flowed even at my mother and father’s funeral continued to flow unceasingly.
This isn’t something that only Siwoo has experienced.
Those suffering from magic exposure syndrome.
People who have such people as family.
All of them are probably in a similar situation to Siwoo.
Siwoo was able to free himself from that pain, but somewhere, someone is still in the process.
I will continue to live a life that is like hell every single day.
It will be a series of days where I wish I could die together.
The cost of the treatment is 100 million.
To Siwoo now, it’s just a small amount of money.
But for Siwoo in the past, it was an amount of money that would take half his life to save up.
And for some, it’s an amount of money they can never save up in their entire lives.
That’s why.
Because I know all too well what that pain is like.
Because I know better than anyone what that misery is like.
“I just couldn’t afford to charge a higher price for the treatment.”
But this is only Siwoo’s thoughts.
“In that sense, I would like to ask you a favor.”
Just creating a cure wasn’t enough to make Siwoo’s idea come true.

Ultimately, it becomes a reality only when it is distributed worldwide.
To do this, various equipment is needed to store the treatment.
It is self-evident that costs will be incurred accordingly.
And do you store your storage equipment in the air?
Land and space must also be created to accommodate the equipment.
It didn’t end with just keeping it.
Theft prevention and maintenance are essential.
Accordingly, personnel and related facilities must be provided.
A distribution network is now needed to supply the treatment worldwide.
Simply creating a cure isn’t the end of the story.
Of course, a thousand won was not enough to cover all these expenses.
It is an unconditional deficit.
So I came to see Han Min-ah.
This is not a suggestion, but a request.
“Can you supply the price of the treatment for one thousand won?”
Siwoo could have easily made a cure by himself.
However, it was impossible to supply and distribute it throughout the world.
Siwoo did not have such abilities and strength.
Siwoo waited for Han Min-ah’s answer like that.
“… … ..”
As expected, Han Min-ah had no answer.
Still in a daze.
Han Min-ah’s eyes, unfocused, held even more shock than before.
A desolate silence descended.
In that silence, Siwoo and Han Min-ah didn’t say anything.
How much time has passed like that?
“This is… a threat.”
Han Min-ah’s voice was heard quietly.
The expression on Han Min-ah’s face as she looked at him was extremely awkward.
“I know it’s impossible, so saying something like that would only make me feel awkward. But since that thought is right, I can’t even refuse.”
Han Min-ah continued speaking with a truly embarrassed expression.
“If this isn’t a threat, then what is?”
“That’s what I meant when I said that….”
Siwoo hurriedly waved his hand.
Then he snickers.
Did Han Min-ah show a smile?
“I’m kidding.”
Then, Han Min-ah made a face that said she was dying of laughter.
For a moment, I wondered what was going on.
“Siwoo, I really wonder how far you plan to surprise me.”
Han Min-ah spoke as if she couldn’t stop herself.
After a while, Han Min-ah smiled and said.
“Yes, I accept your offer.”
“…yes?”
“Why are you so surprised?”
“No. That’s….”
“You didn’t think I would accept your offer, did you?”
“… To be honest, yes.”
Siwoo nodded honestly.
To be exact, I didn’t know how to accept it unconditionally.
Although Siwoo calls her aunt, Han Min-ah is the president of SH Group.
The empress who leads the huge empire called SH Group.
There was no reason for SH Group, which pursues profit maximization, to jump into such a loss-making business.
So, in return, Siwoo planned to give Han Min-ah what she wanted.
Whatever he wanted to do, he definitely intended to do it within Siwoo’s capabilities.
But I never thought he would accept it unconditionally… .
“I know. It’s definitely a deficit. It’s worse than not providing a cure.”
“Then why… .”
“I promised myself that I would not follow my father’s path.”
It was a word whose meaning was unclear.
“Thank you for that. For giving me this opportunity.”
On the other hand, Siwoo couldn’t figure out why Han Min-ah was expressing her gratitude.
Maybe that’s why.
“uh….”
At this point, Siwoo was starting to panic.
* * *
Afterwards, I talked with Han Min-ah about the treatment supply business.
The long story continues like this.
“I think it will work if we proceed like this.”
I was able to roughly finalize the guidelines for the business.
Now all that remains is to get the business going.
“by the way….”
Then, Han Min-ah immediately asked.
“Are you in contact with Chaerin?”
“… … .”
“You’ve never done it before?”
Siwoo had nothing to say.
It wasn’t that I didn’t do it on purpose.
I was so absorbed in developing a cure that I was out of my mind.
First of all, what happened at the hospital.
The incident that happened because Han Chae-rin was drawn into fascination [SR].
Since then, dealing with Han Chae-rin has been a bit awkward.
I should say it’s embarrassing rather than awkward.
“Aren’t you being too indifferent to Chaerin?”
“that is….”
“Chaerin, this girl probably hasn’t contacted you even once. Anyway, you two are really…”
Han Min-ah let out a deep sigh.
Siwoo asked, scratching his head awkwardly.
“How are you doing these days, Chaerin? Are you doing well?”
Then Han Min-ah answered with a glare.
“He’s still in the hospital.”
“Yes? Still?”
Are there any major aftereffects from being ruled by Lilith?
But the physical injuries wouldn’t have been that serious?
Above all, quite some time had passed since the disaster in Seoul.
I heard that Baek Seon-je, who was in critical condition, was discharged from the hospital.
But who would have thought that Han Chae-rin would still be hospitalized… .
“Is it really that bad?”
“It’s not that bad. It’s just that I can’t leave the hospital because my chest keeps hurting like it’s being crushed.”
Isn’t that very bad?
As Siwoo tilted his head, Han Min-ah continued speaking.
“What I mean is, there is nothing wrong with your body, but your mind is sick.”
“Is it a mental illness?”
“Okay. So why don’t you go and check on Chae-rin’s condition? Si-woo, you’ve cured magic radiation syndrome, so I think you can cure Chae-rin’s illness too.”
“uh….”
Siwoo couldn’t readily give an answer.
That is to be expected, for mental illness is a mental illness.
And mental illness could not be cured even with Hua Tuo’s divine medicine (S+).
“I cannot cure illness of the mind.”
“okay?”
Han Min-ah opened her eyes slightly wide as if she didn’t know that.
But that was only for a moment.
“But I think the mental illness that Chaerin is suffering from is different. Only you can cure it, right?”
“What do you mean?”
Siwoo couldn’t understand what Han Min-ah was saying at all.
Could it be because of Siwoo’s appearance?
“Are you clueless? Or are you just an idiot?”
Han Min-ah couldn’t stand it anymore and shouted.
The expression on his face was filled with reproach and a look of frustration that seemed as if he was going to burst.
“How can I be so stupid when it comes to things related to myself…?”
Is this something that people call stupid?
“Ugh, that’s enough. Just go and check on Chaerin.”
“But I don’t have time right now….”
“These are my conditions.”
“What are the conditions?”
Han Min-ah nodded and answered.
“The condition for accepting your proposal. As you know, this business is an unconditional loss for our SH Group, right?”
When he said that, Siwoo was speechless.
If this was the case, it was something I couldn’t not do.
Anyway, whatever.
Wasn’t there something that required taking Han Chae-rin to Baek Seon-pyeong?
“I’ll stop by sometime.”
“Don’t waste time, go now.”
“Now?”
“How can an S+-rank hunter find the time? He’ll just keep putting it off day after day and eventually not go.”
“That’s not true.”
No matter what, I never break my promise.
Just report the situation to Hwa-ta.
Talk to Zhuge Liang.
Hercules returned and heard Hades’ answer.
When the actual subscription is almost complete…?
I thought it might be around that time.
“Then, Chaerin might get sick and die?”
Is it that painful?
I had my doubts, but I couldn’t disbelieve it since Han Min-ah said so.
Anyway, Seo Ah-do is currently hospitalized at SH Hospital.
“… Then let’s go now.”
Siwoo had no choice but to nod his head in the end.
Only then did Han Min-ah smile with satisfaction and say:
“But it’s possible that Chaerin is sick physically, not mentally.”
It was different from what was said just now.
For a moment, I had doubts.
“So, don’t forget to touch Chaerin’s body here and there, very carefully… no, examine it!”
For some reason, the face of Han Min-ah that I was looking at had a strange atmosphere all over it.
* * *
SH Hospital VVIP room.
Siwoo glanced at Han Chae-rin, who was sitting on the bed.
Her long black hair looked like fine ebony spread out.
The deer-like eyes were as clear as a spring.
Her flawless, pure white skin looked like polished white jade.
And here is a graceful body that cannot be hidden even by a patient gown.
‘She gets prettier every time I see her.’
At this point, I dare say that it is not lacking at all.
So, these are the beauties that Siwoo met on GodTube.
Aphrodite and Persephone.
Of course, those who are called the goddesses of beauty.
Even in front of Cleopatra’s transcendent charm, Han Chae-rin was not at all taken aback.
Maybe that’s why.
‘Why is it so awkward?’
It was really awkward.
I couldn’t look him in the eye because I kept thinking about what happened last time.
First of all, isn’t the situation similar to last time?
So, currently, there were only Siwoo and Han Chae-rin in this hospital room.
If there’s one difference, it’s this.
Han Min-ah, who was hospitalized with Han Min-ah, has been discharged.
So whatever happened here, there was no one to interfere.
Han Chae-rin, who was looking at Si-woo from the corner of her eye, was not looking at him.
He sat still with his eyes down.
His expressionless face showed no emotion and it was impossible to know what he was thinking.
The awkward feeling of sitting on a bed of thorns continued.
“Are you feeling okay?”
Siwoo, who couldn’t stand it any longer, opened his mouth first.
Then, Han Chae-rin’s long eyelashes, which had been hanging down, slowly rose.
And so, the moment when Han Chae-rin’s eyes met mine.
Tiring!
My heart is pounding as I hear the notification sound!
Suddenly, Siwoo’s heart started beating rapidly.
