Awakened as a Superman - Awakened as a Superman chapter 138
{ Thing 1 }
a day ago.
Yujagun woke up.
It’s a day I’ve been waiting for for months.
A lab that has been busy for a long time.
And soon he walked out of the vessel.
“You did a really good job.”
Those were the first words that Yu Ja-geon spoke to those who looked at him.
It looks healthier, but it doesn’t look much different from before entering.
Aiden and Cain responded in succession with glad voices.
“It’s nice to see you after a long time.”
“You seem to be talking as if you haven’t played a game in a while?”
Yoo Je-wol, who was standing on the other hand, approached Yu Ja-geon and said,
“father!”
A father who puts his son on the shoulder once.
“Good work.”
After a while, they were seated again.
Yu Ja-geon, dressed in clothes, is simply calm.
It doesn’t feel like you’ve just finished an experiment.
Aiden opened his mouth.
“Awesome. You’ve succeeded.”
He was truly amazing.
An experiment that started in skepticism at Yu Ja-geon’s strong request.
To be honest, I didn’t expect him to do so well.
The tremendous immersion they showed even when they were aware that it was a game.
How should I express it?
like a game… It was like he was actually living in that world.
And he who finally developed his abilities.
A body that does not want to change, something that transcends that human habit.
In fact, it is as if the limit was surpassed with only one will.
At Aiden’s praise, Yu Ja-geon waved his hand, saying it was too much.
“It’s all thanks to you two.”
Even after doing such a great job, his attitude remains the same.
‘Not only the body, but also the mind… .’
Maybe something special was the same before?
The two of them never looked like the man in front of them was ordinary.
‘How… You mean this kind of man has always been like that?’
Aiden clicked his tongue.
Because you already know the answer.
Corruption tends to be more severe in underdeveloped countries, and all the benefits are concentrated on a small number of vested interests.
People with ordinary backgrounds do not even get a fair chance regardless of their abilities.
Of course, injustice exists in developed countries, but at least it is much better than in other countries.
Yu Ja-geon is an exceptional existence even in Aiden’s eyes.
However, it was difficult to succeed in such a Korean society.
So he must have lived a normal life.
It’s not like there are multiple lives.
“How have you been living with regret and resentment all this time?”
Aiden’s words sounded out of nowhere.
However, Cain and Yu Ja-geon easily understood the meaning of those short words.
Because they are already full of years.
“Aiden, you look so good to me… …what am I going to do about the human world?”
It is difficult to lightly comfort the bitterness contained in that dull voice.
Yu Ja-geon continued to speak to those who kept their mouths shut.
It looks like he wants to respond to the favor he sent.
“There is a saying in Korean society. If you don’t like temples, you should leave.”
“Is that so?”
“If you are dissatisfied, leave. We have no intention of changing. Be grateful that we are here. Even if you leave, we will not catch people like you. There are many people who can take your place. There aren’t a lot of good temples out there, and they don’t even accept those who come out well.”
“……”
“As a child, I once asked my father about the meaning of my name.”
A story that comes out of nowhere.
Two people just listening.
Yu Ja-geon’s soft voice.
“My father used to say that it is tamyeonjageon (唾面自乾).”
first time I hear it
“What does that mean?”
“If you get sick, sleep on your own, dry yourself. It means that if someone spit on your face, I wait until it dries on its own. It means that deep patience is required.”
“……”
For some reason, it was Aiden and Cain who seemed to understand his father’s feelings.
From time immemorial, talented people are often unlucky.
It’s because they’re ahead of their time, and society isn’t a vessel to embrace their genius.
Moreover, envy and jealousy around them constantly drag them down and trample them down.
Because its very existence itself becomes an object of comparison.
In fact, Aiden’s guess was close to the truth.
Yoo Ja-geon’s father, who realized the principle of such a world, wanted his son to have deep patience in a world of upheaval.
Therefore, he did not use the dolim character set by the family, but named his son himself.
[Come on. Be patient. Even if I receive unreasonable attacks from others.]
Yujagun’s words continued.
“When I was young, I didn’t understand. Why do you have to be patient?”
Two people nodding their heads.
“I found out later. That my name has two meanings. ‘Gun’ can mean ‘dry’, but it also means ‘sky’.”
“You are the sky yourself?”
“Yes. After all, the father must have wanted his son to be successful on his own despite his lack of background. But he didn’t.”
Yu Ja-geon’s face is calm despite the words that would make him smile.
“Father?”
“I went to the Vietnam War. At a young age. I was going to feed my family. Then I couldn’t come back.”
“Ah… I’m sorry to make you say that.”
“No. In my father’s generation… that was commonplace. It was a country that was torn apart.”
Cain, who was listening then, asked.
“Then what is the meaning of the month of January?”
“Exceeding the limits. I built it.”
The three laughed.
Because he seemed to know the wishes of his name.
A question continued from Aiden’s mouth.
“Then what about Jewol?”
“‘I’ is the ‘self-controlled person’. It refers to systems and laws. It means to go beyond the existing ones. Isn’t it too grandiose?”
“No. No. They’re both already… Aren’t they doing really well? It’s Hanwol and Jewol… It’s a name that suits them so well.”
“I’m still practicing closure.”
Yujagun nodded his head.
When asked about his son’s well-being, Aiden talked about his past.
“How much stronger are you talking about there?”
Yuhan-wol, who showed great abilities before that.
Why is such a being so desperate?
That’s how powerful the enemy is.
To the extent that Yuhan-wol has to be so desperate.
Aiden, who spoke, looked at Yu Ja-geon’s heart.
Since he was single and had never had children, there was no way to know his exact feelings.
‘However… Would he look good who put his children on his limbs?’
I don’t think so.
So you can see his eyes.
However, the words that came out of Yu Ja-geon’s mouth were unexpected.
“Aiden. Thank you.”
His words are short, yet sincere.
Aiden asked the reason.
“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“It is because we gave Hanwol a chance.”
Aiden understood what he was trying to say.
Well… In a way, you might think so.
However,
“Looking that way, maybe Bruce gave you a chance?”
To the joke that Aiden uttered, who was shy to just accept his gratitude, Yu Ja-geon answered.
his serious tone.
“But he was going to destroy Han-wol. Before he even came out.”
Are you also a father?
Thank you for giving me the opportunity, but I will never let him sit down if he threatens my son’s life.
‘It’s really unusual.’
Aiden looked at his calm face and thought.
It’s like,
‘Isn’t that a warning to me?’
[Never do anything that harms my son.]
Hearing it from someone you don’t know may seem overkill at first glance, but he can say that.
On the contrary, the restraint that he is not using his ability right now is surprising.
Aiden looked at him with such a calm face.
‘It won’t happen.’
Now his son is indispensable to me.

tirililing
Ringing doorbell.
“welcome.”
As if Yu Ja-gun was waiting, he opened the door and said.
There was a man and a woman standing outside the door.
“Hello. Facility inspection is out.”
Yu Ja-geon guided them.
“It’s a cold day, so please eat inside.”
They follow and look around.
Yu Ja-geon turned and looked at the two of them.
Both are just plain looks.
I just feel like a regular public official.
The IDs presented are also employees of the Jeju Provincial Office.
Leaving their actions alone, Yu Ja-geon asked.
“Would you like a cup of hot tea?”
“Oh, yes. Coffee, please.”
The three soon sat down.
However, only one female civil servant drinks coffee.
Male civil servants do not even speak.
He looked at Yujagun and opened his mouth.
“As we checked, it appears that the registration information here is incorrect.”
“Ah… It seems that there was a mistake when registering. It seems that I made this trouble for nothing. You don’t have to come in person like this…”
In fact, the agenda is not something that should come so directly.
Two people looking at Yu Ja-gun.
His impression is very good.
And a low-pitched voice that inspires trust.
A female government official next door opened her mouth.
“Actually, I’m looking for someone. It’s headed this way… While exploring the area, I found out that there was a problem with this property’s properties.”
She quickly revealed the purpose of her visit.
But the man listening doesn’t stop him right away.
Nevertheless, because of Yu Ja-geon’s reaction, I feel favor.
“Who are you looking for?”
Yu Ja-geon took the photos offered by a female public official and looked at them.
And soon his face brightens.
“ah!”
In response, the two paid attention to Yu Ja-gun.
“Are you familiar?”
“Yes. These are the people who came here a while ago. Wait a minute.”
those who brighten their eyes.
In the eyes of the two, the figure of Yu Ja-geon is caught walking to one side and checking something with the computer on the desk.
Since the mother and daughter have lost track of this neighborhood, they are looking around.
But here, the beginning seems to be connected.
Yu Ja-gun returned to his seat.
“We have CCTV in our building, but fortunately the video has not been erased. You can see it here.”
Of course, this evidence is more convincing than his words.
How well does this make sense as you show it to yourself before you even ask for it?
The two looked at the video with a willing heart.
A car approaching the building.
Its appearance and license plate match the information they have obtained.
Mother and daughter entering the building.
and… After a while, the car carrying them came back and drove away.
The female civil servant opened her mouth.
“This car? Is the person in the driver’s seat… the teacher?”
“Yes. I drove you two to the airport. And this is a black box video of this car.”
The newly played video shows the appearance of Jeju International Airport.
The car stops and the sound of mother and daughter getting off is clearly audible.
‘Well… went to the airport… .’
Isn’t that the story of leaving Jeju Island?
At that moment, a male public official spoke out in a light tone.
“By the way, what is this facility doing? In the business registration, the type of business is listed as if it were just another trading company.”
