Real Man

Chapter 452:

Yoo-hyun looked at him with a puzzled expression and asked.

“Do you know why he’s acting like that?”

“He probably lost a game to Jinsu.”

“A game?”

“Jinsu must have beaten him again without mercy. He was like that last time too.”

“What did you say?”

Yoo-hyun laughed incredulously at the absurd situation.

Hyun Jin-geon Gun’s words seemed to be confirmed by Hyun Jin-geon Su’s sharp voice.

He had only heard him speak Korean, but he was fluent in English as well.

“Go easy? I’m telling you not to play dirty.”

“Dirty? What’s dirty about it?”

“Using bugs and tricks is not dirty? Aho. Do you really want to get hit?”

The red-haired foreigner who couldn’t stand it growled at Hyun Jin-geon Su.

It was obvious to anyone that it was just a bluff, but it could be different from his brother’s perspective.

“Do you need any help?”

“It’s okay. Just leave him alone. It’s part of the process.”

Hyun Jin-geon Gun acted nonchalant in response to Yoo-hyun’s question.

He suppressed the anxiety in his eyes.

Yoo-hyun seemed to know what he was feeling and got up right away.

“What process? I’ll be back in a bit.”

“Yoo-hyun, if you start helping him, he won’t adapt. It’s the path he chose for himself.”

He understood their feelings, but there was no reason to suffer in a foreign land.

He gave sincere advice to his friend and colleague whom Yoo-hyun liked.

“If he’s having trouble adapting, you can force him to adapt.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“Wait and see. I’ll show you how to take care of your brother.”

Yoo-hyun winked one eye and picked up his bag.

“Hey, no violence.”

Hyun Jin-geon Gun quickly followed him, recalling Yoo-hyun’s appearance during the reserve training.

Yoo-hyun came down to the first floor and walked towards Hyun Jin-geon Su, who was confronting them.

The man who had to rely on a wheelchair after losing his legs in a military explosion in the past was now standing on his healthy feet.

There were no traces of the burns that covered his body.

Yoo-hyun felt a strange feeling when Hyun Jin-geon Su recognized him.

“Oh? Yoo-hyun hyung.”

“Jinsu, how are you?”

As Yoo-hyun spoke in Korean, the three big foreigners turned their heads sharply.

They looked unhappy with the Koreans, maybe because they had been in a fierce confrontation until a moment ago.

“Who is that kid? Why is he babbling in a weird language?”

“Hey, Chris, are you scared that you brought a country bumpkin with you?”

“Hey, let me see that.”

They were a bit annoying, but there was no reason to waste his energy on these guys.

Yoo-hyun ignored the cute Silicon Valley rascals and approached Hyun Jin-geon Su.

Hyun Jin-geon Su thought Yoo-hyun came to help him and looked confident.

“Hyung, I’ll just take care of these guys and go. Just wait a bit.”

He was proud of him, but he didn’t want to leave him alone to fight.

Yoo-hyun reached into his bag to pull out his secret weapon.

“Hold on a sec. I have something to give you.”

Fumbling.

Everyone’s eyes were drawn to him as he suddenly joined the fight and rummaged through his bag.

In the midst of the attention, Yoo-hyun took out a white box.

There was an Apple logo on the neatly wrapped box.

“Wow. An iPhone 4?”

One of the foreigners who recognized it exclaimed in surprise.

Yoo-hyun handed the box to Hyun Jin-geon Su with an indifferent expression.

“Jinsu, a gift.”

“Hyung, I’m fine.”

“If you don’t like it, sell it. It’s an unreleased product, so you’ll get a lot of money. It’s serial number 1, so there’s a premium too.”

“Ooooh. Awesome.”

The foreigners’ faces lit up when they heard Yoo-hyun’s words.

Even if they acted like childish rascals, they were still IT experts in Silicon Valley.

To them, an unreleased iPhone 4 was like a gift from God.

They reached out their hands from here and there.

“Chris, let me touch it for a second.”

“Hey, we’re friends, right?”

“Please open it quickly. I’ll just look.”

Hyun Jin-geon Su, who held the box, was still stunned.

“Hyung, what is this…”

“It’s okay to show it to your friends. It’s yours.”

Yoo-hyun blinked one eye, and Hyun Jin-geon Su shouted to the surroundings.

“Hey, line up right now. If not, I’ll take this and go inside.”

“Yes, sir.”

The red-haired foreigner who had been talking tough a while ago stood in a respectful posture.

The others followed him.

The people passing by also joined in, and the people in the area gathered.

In an instant, a long line formed to see the iPhone 4.

It was the moment when Hyun Jin-geon Su, who was struggling to adapt in the outskirts, became a celebrity in an instant.

Hyun Jin-geon Gun, who was behind him, came up with a bewildered expression.

“Can you give that to Jinsu?”

“Of course. That’s why I brought it, what.”

“But. You also got it as a gift, didn’t you?”

“Don’t worry. I told them I’d give it to someone else.”

Yoo-hyun looked at Hyun Jin-geon Su, who was standing among the buzzing people, and recalled his past appearance in a wheelchair.

He had given him a Hansung Medal of Honor back then, but now he gave him an iPhone 4.

Yoo-hyun’s lips curled up at the changed scenery.

Hyun Jin-geon Gun looked at his brother with affection and said.

“It’s like when he first brought a cell phone to school.”

“Right. It only took a moment to become a star with a cell phone.”

“Keke. That’s right. Thanks to you, I learned something new.”

Yoo-hyun shrugged his shoulders and said to Hyun Jin-geon Gun.

It was a word of wisdom that Yoo-hyun had gained from his long life.

“Take good care of your brother when you’re with him. Do a lot of good things for him.”

“I thought he wanted to be strong, so I did that.”

“Using what you have is also a way. You have skills, don’t you?”

Hyun Jin-geon Gun smiled after staring at Yoo-hyun for a while.

“Thank you.”

“Thank you? He’s your brother, so he’s my brother too.”

“Haha. Yeah. But don’t you have to take care of your own brother? You said he’s in America.”

“I have something else prepared for him.”

Yoo-hyun grinned.

That day, Yoo-hyun spent a lot of time with the Hyun Jin-geon brothers.

“The future is…”

“Right, but here…”

They had a common ground of being together, so there was no obstacle to sharing their thoughts.

They exchanged ideas on their current work and issues, as well as their future plans and visions.

Some of them were important topics that could determine the future of Hansung Electronics.

Yoo-hyun sincerely enjoyed the conversation with his colleagues who understood him.

After spending a pleasant day, it was the next morning.

Yoo-hyun stopped by a nearby car rental company and returned the car.

Then he sat on the sofa in the customer reception room and waited for his appointment while taking a break.

Ding.

He received a message from Park Doo-sik, the manager.

It was about the trends of the Group Strategy Office that they had discussed before.

-It seems like the Group Strategy Office is trying to hold a temporary shareholders’ meeting. I’ll find out more and contact you.

With just one line of message, Yoo-hyun could see the movements of the Group Strategy Office clearly.

As expected, they were targeting Shin Kyung-wook, the executive director.

But this time, they picked the wrong target.

Yoo-hyun chuckled and sat in front of the computer prepared in the customer reception room.

The internet news pages were hit by the aftermath of the Apple announcement.

The positive effects reached Hansung as well.

This meant the rise of Shin Kyung-wook’s position.

Yoo-hyun lifted his lips at the image of his old boss’s distorted face.

“Executive Director Yoon Jutak must be in trouble.”

He started something, but the atmosphere was going weird, so he must be frustrated.

The plan was twisted before it even started, so there was no way he could proceed properly.

He probably had a hard time cleaning up the mess for a while.

Yoo-hyun was thinking about that when it happened.

Honk.

He turned his head at the sound of a cool horn and saw a yellow luxury sports car.

John Norman, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, raised his hand with a flash.

“Hey, Steve.”

His well-dressed outfit was visible under his bright face with sunglasses on his T-shirt.

Yoo-hyun got in the passenger seat and asked.

“You put a lot of effort into it, didn’t you?”

“Of course. It’s a special day, isn’t it? I was so excited that I couldn’t sleep.”

What was he expecting to go to his alma mater?

He seemed to have prepared a gift as well.

Yoo-hyun smiled and gestured forward.

“I don’t know what you’re expecting, but let’s go.”

“Okay. I’ll drive coolly.”

Vroom.

The sports car ran on the road with a rough engine sound.

LA Design School was about 600 kilometers southeast of Palo Alto.

To get there, they had to drive for more than five hours.

Yoo-hyun originally wanted to take a plane, but John Norman suggested going together.

He was rhythmically enjoying the music that was ringing loudly, and he said.

“Today, when I meet Cindy Han, I’m going to do something…”

He was so excited to meet Hanjaehee that he kept reciting his plans.

Yoo-hyun was absurd, but he couldn’t stop him.

It all started with Yoo-hyun’s request.

-My sister is at LA Design School. I think she would appreciate a message of support.

He wanted to give his sister a little boost, but John Norman was more proactive.

He said he would go to LA Design School himself, and he even booked a lecture hall.

His plan was also absurd as he heard it.

He was grateful for his help, but it was too much, so Yoo-hyun asked him why.

“Why are you taking care of her so much?”

“I owe Cindy Han something. Thanks to her, I got a lot of inspiration for the iPhone 4 UI.”

“But you bought it fair and square.”

“I bought it too cheaply. So I have a debt in my heart.”

He said it grandly, but he just seemed to enjoy it.

Yoo-hyun was curious too, so he just laughed.

A few hours later.

The front door of a lecture hall at LA Design School opened.

Clang.

As soon as John Norman showed up, the lecture hall buzzed.

“Kyaa. It’s John. John. You’re awesome.”

“John. You’re the best.”

He didn’t notice Yoo-hyun coming in through the back door and quietly closing it.

John Norman was still in front of them.

The lecture hall was still calling John Norman’s name hotly.

He raised his hand and another cheer came.

Yoo-hyun saw him and chuckled.

“I see why you wanted to come to school.”

In the noisy atmosphere, Yoo-hyun sat in an empty seat on the right back.

There were three blondes with the same hairstyle in front of him, and Hanjaehee was in front of them.

Yoo-hyun looked at his sister, who was sitting hunched over, and remembered what Jang Hye-min, the manager, had said.

-LA Design School is not an easy place. In the end, you have to build up your skills to survive.

She gave him a lot of assignments, hoping that her beloved sister would stand on her own.

It was not easy to balance the busy school life and Jang Hye-min’s assignments.

That’s why Hanjaehee was still working, ignoring John Norman’s jokes.

“Stop complaining and do what you have to do.”

Yoo-hyun smiled fondly when he saw that.
