The Youngest Son Of A Rich Family Chapter 235

[235]Before winter ends 1

“Huh? Do-joon. You’re here early.”

“what? Why aren’t you answering the phone?”

Sang-jun hyung touched his pocket here and there as if he was embarrassed.

“Ah, I left it down there. I’m sorry, didn’t you wait a long time?”

“I just came.”

“Wait a minute, I came up to see them off.”

Sang-jun hyung glanced out of the building and said to the girls standing next to him.

“Didn’t you call the load? Why can’t you see?”

“I just texted you. It will come soon.”

A group of girls looked at me with bright eyes and poked Sang-jun in the side.

“What is it, PD? You should introduce yourself.”

“huh? oh this is my brother younger brother. And these are the kids who just debuted. I got on the airwaves with confidence.”

Hyung to a girl group? Have you turned your eyes to commercialism now? Speaking of airwaves, something suddenly came to mind.

“okay? Then tell my father to broadcast music on cable…”

Sang-jun hyung, who was suddenly taken aback, shook his head a little and glared at me.

Oops. You said you don’t want to hear someone’s son or grandson on this floor, right?

Fortunately, these seemingly immature kids didn’t listen to me.

No matter how you look at it, he didn’t look over twenty years old. They are children whose behavior is also flawless. In an instant, they rushed to my side and started chatting.

“Hey, you were really handsome. I was surprised that our PD-nim didn’t debut as an idol, but seeing his younger brother, I understand. I must have grown up always comparing myself, so I didn’t have confidence. Right?”

“But I think I saw this person somewhere… Aren’t you a broadcaster?”

Have you seen my interviews that I did once in a while? If you remember, it’s a waste?

However, seeing him speak without confidence, I think I just passed him by…

“Stop talking nonsense, go quickly! My younger brother is going to graduate school now. All of you guys say that if you see a good-looking guy, you’re a broadcaster.”

Surprised, Sang-jun hyung made a loud noise and covered the children’s mouths.

“No… I’ve seen it…”

One of them muttered, still staring at me, and Sang-jun hyung started to push them away like a herd of sheep.

“These…! Don’t talk nonsense, don’t you go soon? And don’t be fooled. My brother has a very pretty and smart girlfriend. I can’t even compare to you guys, so don’t stab me.”

“P.D. I’ll go out when the car comes. But what is the real Road oppa doing?”

It’s worse than elementary school students who can’t take their eyes off of them even for a second. Even if you push it away and take it off, it constantly approaches you.

“Hey, what’s your name? How old are you? twenty two? three? Since he’s PD’s younger brother, he’s in his mid-twenties?”

“Have you ever been on a real broadcast?”

If I had been in my twenties, new to this life, I would have enjoyed this situation. However, no matter how hard I tried, it was noisy and annoying.

They frowned and didn’t hide their annoyance, but these kids didn’t care at all and clung to it relentlessly.

The girl group’s road manager was their savior.

When I heard a crackling noise coming from the entrance of the building, Sangjun-hyung took these kids away from me.

“Come on quickly. don’t do anything else I need to adjust my neck condition, so I sleep well at the dorm. Don’t forget to record it from night on.”

“Peddy! You can tell your sister my last name!”

Even though he goes out as if he is being chased, he shows a persistent side until the end.

When all the rookies disappeared, we sighed at the same time.

“Are you out of your mind?”

Sangjun hyung smiled and put his arm around my shoulder.

“what? ashes?”

“A potential rookie? Are you looking forward to our company? That much…?”

“How old are they? Are they all goppiri?”

“Half goppiri, half twenty years old. Although the profile says 19 years old.”

“Didn’t hyung say he was raising new musicians?”

“How long can I do what I want to do? The company has to make a living too. Raising indie kids and raising girl group idols. Oh, they’re not that dumb. Everyone has solid fundamentals. I did a lot of training.”

“I’m old enough, but why are you so childish?”

“It’s because I didn’t go to school and only trained. Only the body has grown, but the mind is still a child.”

Sang-jun hyung suddenly put his hand on his shoulder and quickly lowered it.

“This isn’t really the time. I’ll change my clothes and come back, so you’re meeting the boss. I’ll call you.”

“Why am I meeting my boss?”

“What’s strange about an investor meeting the CEO?”

“what?”

My older brother smiled at my surprised expression.

“It has been a long time since I heard the story. They always thanked me for being able to grow this much thanks to you.”

“So what? Does everyone know?”

“no. only the boss knows are you okay. My boss doesn’t notice me or not because of that. Make a good distinction between public and private. I’m just a PD here. He is not the grandson of Chairman Soonyang nor the brother of an investor, but a producer.”

“I’m glad. It’s okay anyway. Just looking at the monthly report is enough. I’d rather take a tour of my brother’s studio.”

“okay? Then let’s go down together.”

When I went down the stairs to the basement, a different world unfolded.

In stark contrast to the neatness of the lobby, the walls stained black, cracked leather sofas and chairs were scattered around, and empty jajangmyeon bowls and cup noodles were strewn about on the tables.

I saw several partitioned recording booths, and in the spacious choreography practice room covered with glass like a wall, five or six pretty boys were dancing and sweating profusely.

While Sang-jun hyung entered the recording booth and changed his clothes, I watched them dance.

“uh? who?”

“yes?”

Someone taps me on the shoulder and I turn around to see a woman in her early thirties looking me up and down.

“Are you here for an audition? He looks a bit older… he’s not an idol, maybe a ballad?”

“Ah, that’s not it…”

“Your face is good, your proportions are good… It’s okay? Who are you here to meet?”

But when did this woman say that she saw me?

As I was about to say a word, I heard Sang-jun hyung’s voice.

“sister. not that kid it’s my brother You came to see me.”

Sang-jun hyung, who had changed from his sweatpants to suit pants and a shirt, approached while buttoning up his coat.

“Oh yeah? sorry for this I’m also… But I don’t think I’m a normal person? Are you a wannabe?”

“Oh no! My sister is not interested in this floor. After coming out of law school at Seoul National University… he said he was going to graduate school. Turn off your attention and go the way you were going.”

Embarrassed, Sang-joon grabbed my hand and dragged me along, and the woman quickly stopped in front of us.

“Call me if you have any ideas. There are many highly educated celebrities these days. You can see enough star quality.”

I slipped a business card into my pocket and disappeared with a wink.

“Gee… now it looks like shit.”

Sang-jun hyung frowned.

“what’s the matter? who is this? that woman?”

“I’m the head of the planning team here, and when I saw that you even gave me a business card, I must have been attracted to you. Now they’re going to stir-fry them to bring you…”

“Tell me if you’re bothered. I’m going to tell the boss to cut that woman off. Hehe.”

“Work is good. He has a good eye for people, so he is good at finding people and setting up concepts. Anyway, let’s go quickly. There are a lot of people like that here. After all, you will become a celebrity. Hehe.”

We joked and left the building.

“How is Grandpa?”

Sitting side by side with me in the back seat, Sangjun asked carefully as the car started.

“On the outside, it looks correct. But I can’t tell what will happen if I fall.”

“My grandfather’s death is somehow unrealistic. It seems to reign forever and live…”

“Isn’t it? You’ve already collapsed twice, but I can’t believe it either. I keep forgetting that I am an old man over 80.”

Sangjun hyung looked at my face and said.

“Are you okay?”

“what?”

“You were a bit special with your grandfather. He was the only one of our cousins to directly inherit the stake.”

“What did you receive instead of your father?”

“No one thinks like that. I gave it to you directly. No matter what, I think you will be the hardest among us.”

“What can I do? I have no choice but to visit often until the end. How is your brother? are you okay?”

Looking at the company today, it seemed that it was not an ordinary hardship.

“I am satisfied now. The good thing about this floor is that all of them are good people who have dipped their feet in it, so they are not very sensitive to money or the environment. Compared to them, I’m not good enough. At least it won’t fall all the way to the bottom and make a fuss.”

“huh? Did you keep some money that I don’t even know about? Do you have a corner to believe in?”

“hey! If my only older brother starves, will you just watch?”

Sang-jun hyung poked my side with his elbow and laughed.

“Just die by forty. If you go that far and don’t succeed, you should blame it on luck. What should I do? Haven’t you done enough? At that time, let’s join hands with me and go to the Kota Kinabalu Resort and live while tending the garden.”

“You’re retiring before forty? Speak like a horse.”

After seeing each other for the first time in a while and exchanging jokes like this, Sang-joon seemed to have eased the tension of meeting his grandfather.

The car drove into the hospital parking lot.

* * *

“Is Sangjun here too?”

The grandfather, still in a suit, smiled brightly when he saw Sang-jun enter through the door.

“yes. grandfather. sorry. It’s very late.”

“no. It’s been days since I’ve been in the hospital. So how are you?”

“yes. Thanks for your concern, I’m doing well.”

Grandpa sat us down on the sofa. He brought two bottles of soda himself and placed them in front of us, unable to erase his laughter.

“I hear you live alone in a ten-pyeong officetel? Would you like to give me a house?”

“it’s okay. Even if it’s a house, it’s all about changing clothes and stopping by to get some sleep. I live in a studio most of the time, so an officetel of 10 pyeong is enough.”

I nodded my head as if it was an admirable answer and asked a question to my grandson whom I hadn’t seen in a long time.

“okay? How much do you get paid?”

“Not much.”

“Hey man, don’t I know that? why? Are you ashamed of being too few?”

Sang-jun quickly responded to his grandfather’s shouting after a long time.

“no. If you receive an incentive of 200 per month, it is over 30 million won. But since I spend all day in the recording studio, I don’t have to spend money other than the management fee of the officetel, so I save everything.”

“okay? What are you giving so generously to the guy who makes that song? Bring the president of your company with you. I need to pay less and teach them how to pamper them.”

As if the tension was relieved by his grandfather’s joke, he trembled with a smirk that was not usually seen.

“grandfather. I’m good at my job. It’s to the point where the president of our company apologizes for giving me a low salary whenever he has a chance. That’s why I get the most incentives.”

“Then you are fortunate.”

Grandpa suddenly grabbed Sang-jun’s hand.

“How many grandchildren do I have? Of more than ten people, the only one who doesn’t take my money is your brother. An adult who knows how important it is to earn a living with one’s own hands and that feeding a wife and children on their own is the first thing a man and child should do. Of all the grandchildren, you two are the only ones who have grown up. I did something wrong with child farming.”

“Can it be? Everyone has a different way to go.”

“No, no.”

The grandfather looked at Sang-jun hyung with affectionate eyes and said.

“I took my anger out on you for being disappointed in your father. What crime did you, young one, have…. Do you have a deep resentment? Forgive this savior.”

“no. It’s all in the past. And if the end is good, isn’t it said that all is well? It is enough for my grandfather to acknowledge that I do music.”

Grandpa looked relaxed, as if he had put down a piece of old luggage.
