[227]Unfinished business 2
When I saw my grandfather’s earnest expression, my body moved on its own. I can’t waste the time I don’t have on myself.
He quickly approached and supported the grandfather’s body.
“It’s good, but if you don’t go, I’ll turn the car around.”
“It’s a place you’ve put off and put off, so you’ll like it. haha.”
My grandfather held my weak hand and smiled brightly, opening his dry lips.
I went down to the underground parking lot past the security guards who completely blocked the surroundings. Three cars were already waiting with their engines started.
I felt relieved when I saw the ambulance waiting behind me.
“How do you like this car? “I heard a new car came out, so I asked him to bring it to me.”
The BMW 7 Series, standing between the lead car and the ambulance, welcomed us with a low exhaust note.
“I don’t think there will be anything else to write after I write today. “You take it and use it.”
“I also have a lot of good cars. My grandfather will continue to use this car. “You should continue to go to many good places and get some fresh air.”
“What nonsense. Are you doing this knowing clearly my condition? I know you’re saying this as a consolation, but I wonder how great it would be to feel young again thanks to the comfort of my grandson… . It’s useless. “Take it and use it.”
It hurts even more that my grandfather had already accepted death. It seems unlikely that He would even try to extend life by even a single day.
Perhaps this moment may be the only moment I have alone with my grandfather. I really don’t have time. shit… !
The sturdy bodyguards got into the lead car first.
“Then please be careful. President.”
Director Hakjae Lee bowed his head. He appears to be intending not to accompany them.
The three cars started slowly.
“It may be difficult, but keep your eyes closed. “I’ll tell you when I arrive.”
“How many days are left before I can rest forever? “As long as we live, we must diligently look after our grandson’s face.”
Should my grandfather, Cheolmyeon, change his nickname? Every single word breaks my heart.
“Well, it’s hard to see such a handsome grandson anywhere. haha.”
As the youngest child, I wanted to make my grandfather happy with some jokes, but the most I could do was make lame jokes.
However, I was fortunate that people continued to smile and look at me like this.
“By the way, I heard the story. “I heard you gave up on taking over Daehyun Card?”
He is a very difficult person to stop. Are you talking about work in the meantime?
I was about to say we should talk about something else, but I changed my mind. It occurred to me that the moment you feel alive may be the moment you work or talk about work.
“yes. I’m sorry to disappoint you. Daehyun came to his senses in an instant because LG Card suffered such a major accident. “I threw bait at them, but they didn’t bite.”
“so? Have you completely given up on Daehyun Card?”
“no. “We changed the route.”
“how?”
“I’m going to have a good fight and turn it into a blood clot. “I plan to attract profitable customers.”
Grandpa’s eyes changed brightly when he heard that they were fighting.
As expected, it is not the grandson’s antics that bring vitality to the place. My grandfather is a person who feels alive only through work.
“Do you think I’ll lose some money?”
“Isn’t it my only weapon?”
“Compared to the damage, the loot may be poor.”
“Maybe. But this is not the time to fight over profits and losses.”
“why? “It is natural not to start a business unless it is a profitable business.”
“But I thought it was time to show my true self. “They keep looking at me lightly and want to use me as a tool here and there.”
“That guy Joo Gwang-sik?”
“yes.”
“If you look down on me, that’s the end, cancer. Step on it so you can’t even look at it again. Just looking at your shadow makes me want to pee. haha.”
I even talked about trivial things at work in a moving car. When I saw my grandfather smiling happily while listening to my story, I began to feel more and more at ease.
“By the way, CEO Oh Se-hyun quit his job at the company and left for Kota Kinabalu.”
“what? no… . “How old is he, so you’re telling me he’s already living alone?”
“I mean. Now my arms are stretched out, well. By the way, my grandfather should have visited the resort there too… .”
“resort? done. My home is a hundred times nicer and more comfortable than that resort, so why fly to a hot country? I only go abroad when I have to go on a business trip. Why do I live in a huge house? “Didn’t you spend that much money just so you could rest comfortably?”
Even if it’s empty words, he doesn’t say that he’s disappointed that he couldn’t see the resort built by his grandson. He’s like a grandfather.
Since we left late at night, the road was quiet. Before we knew it, we had left Seoul and the car was heading south. Looking at the signs that kept appearing, I felt like I knew where my destination was.
“Please stop the car for a moment.”
“yes. President.”
As I stood on the side of the road with the emergency blinkers on, my grandfather rolled down the window.
“Do you remember that place?”
At the place my grandfather pointed to, the traffic light was flashing red, just like back then.
“yes.”
This is where assistant manager Kim Yun-seok rushed to the BMW on our behalf. It was the very place where I almost crossed the Hwangcheon Road.
“You get off. “It must have been difficult driving for a long time, so stretch your back a little and light a cigarette.”
This is not consideration for the driver. This is to prevent you from knowing what your grandfather says from now on.
The driver didn’t know what that meant either.
“Thank you, Chairman. “I will wait outside.”
When the driver got off, my grandfather rolled up the window again.
“It’s been a while since we had the accident there, right?”
“yes. If I hadn’t come here today, I wouldn’t have even remembered. “I am once again grateful to Assistant Manager Kim Yun-seok.”
“Oh, bring him here. I couldn’t even say thank you properly. I think I just scolded you because I was afraid it would stick to you. haha.”
“no. Didn’t your grandfather send it to Director Hakjae Lee? “I am always grateful that I learned a lot.”
“Still, bring it with you. “It’s a lifesaver.”

“yes. “I will.”
The grandfather just looked at the accident site in silence for a while.
“Dojun.”
“yes.”
When my grandfather spoke again, his voice trembled slightly.
“Have you ever thought anything strange about that accident?”
What should I say? I was going crazy with curiosity and should I answer that I had a guess?
But the usual answer came out.
“It was an accident. “Didn’t you say it was the truck driver’s fault?”
“Do you really believe that?”
“yes.”
I answered without the slightest hesitation. I couldn’t bear to answer that I was suspicious of my family.
“Now even if you lie, your expression doesn’t even change. I’m done with being a scammer. haha.”
I don’t know why, but my grandfather burst into laughter, even hitting the armrest.
“grandfather.”
“OK.”
“If you don’t feel comfortable talking about it, you can just bury it. Didn’t I already tell you? If I hadn’t come here today, I wouldn’t have even remembered. “I already forgot everything.”
I meant it. It’s obvious even without saying who did it. Couldn’t it be one of her family members? It is also impossible to uncover a case that has already been buried and send someone to prison. It’s really over.
“I’m sorry.”
Grandpa grabbed my hand tightly.
“It all happened because of me. “It’s my responsibility.”
“Why are you doing this all of a sudden… .”
Grandpa raised his hand to stop me.
“If I had taken care of your grandmother just a little bit, that wouldn’t have happened. “At some point, we started acting like strangers, so that old woman became obsessed with her son instead of me.”
It was my grandmother.
Rather, one of my uncles… . No, it’s better to think of it as something that all of my uncles did together. Isn’t a grandmother who tries to harm her grandchildren too heartless?
“You probably thought I was leaving the entire Sunyang Group to you, not my son. Your eyes must have rolled back. If you take over the Sunyang Group, you will lose everything. My husband, my inheritance, and my son. That’s why I tried to stop it before it happened.”
I didn’t want to hear any more. But he couldn’t stop his grandfather from talking. Because his grandfather still had things he wanted to say and things I needed to hear.
“The reason I hated your Emmy so much was because I felt like my son was taken away from me. I was like that once too. But the reasons are different. “I was disappointed by your father who failed me, and I poured out that anger on your innocent Emi.”
“My father said that yesterday. He said he was so sorry and regretful for the 10 years he spent as a young man resenting his grandfather after he passed away. “Don’t be too hard on yourself.”
“Yoo, did Yoongi really say that?”
“yes.”
Grandfather’s fingertips were trembling and his eyes were filled with joy.
I, too, was infinitely happy to be able to convey my father’s sincerity.
The grandfather said, wiping a single tear from the corner of his eye.
“They say tears become more common as you get older, and I’m just like that. “One word from that guy pulled out a nail in my heart.”
“Fortunately, the. So, Grandpa, you don’t have to say any more.”
“no. “There is still a long way to go.”
Grandfather held back his trembling voice.
“Your grandmother may hate you forever while she lives. Only after she dies will that hatred be relieved. That massive hatred is because of me. So, for my sake, please treat your grandmother generously and forgive her.”
This is what I need to hear.
“Do not worry. It’s just that her ex-grandmother is difficult, but she doesn’t hate her. And she has nothing but forgiveness. “She has already forgotten.”
“no. I’ll warn you, but I’m only saying this because I don’t know if that old woman will harm you again. “It means to forgive even if something like that happens.”
The hatred directed at me is directed at my grandfather. It’s so awful. No matter how much she hated her husband, didn’t he favor her all her life?
No, maybe it’s not hatred but desire. She believes that everything her husband has built is hers, and the desire not to have a single thing taken away from her. This is how you can understand.
It is easier to accept that the desire to harm one’s grandson is expressed as desire rather than hatred. This is because desire is powerful enough to transcend blood vessels.
“No matter what happens in the future, I will not blame my grandmother. “I promise you, just stop now.”
My grandfather looked into my eyes and tried to read my sincerity.
“okay. “If I don’t trust you, who will I trust?”
I nodded and rolled down the window.
“I had a hard time in the cold. “Let’s go now.”
The driver quickly gave a signal and got into the car.
The car drove south again.
“grandfather. “Aren’t you going to Seoul?”
“no. I stopped by here on my way through. “We’re going to Gunsan.”
It’s Gunsan.
Could it be that you’re pushing yourself like this with a sick body because of something you couldn’t do back then?
“grandfather. I already know what my grandfather means. Is there really a need to go to Gunsan? I’m not feeling well, but I’m just feeling weak. “Just go back.”
“This guy! It is the starting point of Sunyang Group’s history. Are you just passing by that important place? Don’t say things that don’t even amount to half a penny! “Sometimes the form is more important than the content.”
There is no way for me to break this stubbornness. Until the last day, I decided to do whatever my grandfather wanted without saying a word.
“And not just because of that. “There is someone you should greet.”
greeting? Who is it?
no way… It’s not the little old lady who keeps it hidden, right?
