My Dad Was a Genius Episode 002
Dalgrak-.
The sound of plates and spoons clashing was echoing.
That was to be expected, since the mansion was as large as a palace, the sound reverberated.
I swallowed dry saliva and headed toward the dining room where dinner was in full swing.
Five people were eating in the dining room.
As I entered the place, all five of their eyes were fixed on me.
“… … .”
There was silence for a moment.
“Are you a stone? Why are you standing there blankly?”
The man sitting at the top of the table shouted at me.
“Ah… … yes.”
I slowly walked over to the empty seat and sat down.
‘This is ridiculous.’
Through my aunt who woke me up, I learned who I was and where I was.
The owner of this body is Cha Seong.
And this middle-aged man sitting at the top, looking at me pitifully and clicking his tongue was none other than the chairman of Taesan Group, Cha Cheol-ho.
I don’t know if this was a dream or reality, but now I was the youngest son of a conglomerate family.
“Tsk tsk. You drank so much last night that you passed out and are only crawling out now?”
Somehow, even in this confusing time, my body felt heavy and I was craving some clear soup.
“What a pathetic guy. What sin did I commit in my past life to have a guy like this as my youngest son… …!”
“Oh, father. Hold on tight.”
“This youngest one hasn’t done that once or twice.”
“If it’s not just once or twice, you should know how to fix it!! This won’t do. It’s raining outside today. I have to beat myself up until the dust rises on a really rainy day to come to my senses!”
Then, all of a sudden, the man got up and tried to find his golf clubs, but other people stopped him.
“Hey, little one. What are you doing? Why don’t you quickly apologize for your mistake?”
“Yes, Inma. Can’t you see that your father is angry?”
“… … .”
Although I felt a little wronged, I stood up and apologized sincerely, thinking that if I continued like this I might really get beaten up.
“I’m sorry. I won’t do it again, ever again.”
“… … .”
Then, an awkward silence fell over the dining room.
Chairman Cha, my brothers, and the aunts who brought me food also looked at me with surprised eyes.
Why is everyone doing that?
“Uh, what’s wrong with this kid?”
“That’s right. Didn’t you run too much yesterday? Did something go wrong with your head?”
“Why is that guy who usually talks back so busily all of a sudden… … .”
Looking at the way they were chattering away, I felt like I had a rough idea of what the owner of this body usually did.
“I will not drink alcohol anymore.”
Chairman Cha also seemed embarrassed at the sight of me bending my back and apologizing politely, and he let out an embarrassed cough.
“What… … Ahem. I’ll just wait and see.”
Peace returned to the dining room.
“Your father asked your aunts to make you some clear soup because he was worried that you might be feeling unwell.”
“Yeah. You really think dad only takes care of our youngest?”
Chairman Cha frowned at those words.
“Don’t talk nonsense. Tsk. Go eat.”
I looked at the people sitting at this table, not knowing whether the food was going into their mouths or their noses.
I remembered that I had searched about Taesan Group before watching my father’s video the day before.
I also saw what kind of family members the Taesan Group had.
‘That person is… … .’
Chairman Cha’s first son, Cha Jae-cheol.
In my time, that person was leading the Taishan Group.
The person next to him was his second son, Cha Seong-ho, next to him was his third daughter, Cha In-hye, and lastly, their mother, Mrs. Kim Mi-yeon.
Why on earth did I, a member of this family, end up in this body?
That too, going back in time.
“There’s something I didn’t tell you. You, get ready to see the sun.”
“… … .”
No one answered Chairman Cha’s words.
Then, Cha In-hye, who was next to me, tapped me on the arm.
“… …Me?”
“Then who else is there besides you? You’re the only one among them who isn’t married.”
This is driving me crazy.
I don’t even know what’s going on right now, so I’m going to show you the line.
“You’re almost thirty now. The reason I haven’t been able to find a decent woman for you all this time is because of your usual behavior. But do you plan to continue to disappoint your parents and die as an old bachelor? You should come to your senses and get married before it’s too late.”
“… … .”
“I’ll take a good look at it. So, for the time being, don’t cause any trouble and be careful. If you act like today one more time, then be prepared.”
Mrs. Kim Mi-yeon, who was standing next to Chairman Cha, spoke as if scolding him in response to his stern warning.
“Here we go again. You said you wouldn’t leave me alone last time, and you even told me to make the youngest’s favorite side dish.”
“Ahem. This time, it’s real.”
“Oh, my. Yes. I guess so.”
I couldn’t help but smile at the sight of those two people.
“Are you laughing?”
“……sorry.”
“Anyway, this time I’m not just talking nonsense. Get a grip and live.”
“yes.”
Then the other brothers also chimed in one by one.
“But it looks like our youngest is coming to his senses. He used to be a very noisy kid who would call me daddy.”
“So. Why is it so awkward for you to be respectful to your father? What’s going on?”
“It’s time for him to come to his senses. Right, our youngest?”
Contrary to expectations, the relationship between the siblings was good.
When you think of a chaebol family, the atmosphere usually seems bleak and they seem to be competing with each other for shareholdings.
Is this what a stereotype is?
After finishing the meal like that,
slap-.
“It hurts… … .”
I returned to my room and slapped myself hard on the cheek.
But it still doesn’t break.
That is, this is not a dream.
“But how… … .”
Is it possible to wake up in someone else’s body?
Even now, it is 2012.
The funny thing is, I was born in 2012.
“This isn’t some kind of novel… … .”
I stood in front of the mirror and looked at my new appearance.
“It’s the worst.”
His face was somewhat presentable, but he had a bulging beer belly, as if he had never taken care of his body.
And I’ve lost all my muscle mass.
The only good thing is that he seems to have worked out before, so I should say his angles are somewhat better.
If you exercise, you can get a body that is well-toned.
“And the room is messy too.”
It seemed like the aunts were cleaning the room, but judging from the mess of personal belongings, I could tell that she was the type of person who never cleaned up.
“Whew. This is driving me crazy.”
How can we get things back to normal?
While I was worrying about that.
“wait for a sec.”
Something suddenly came to mind.
“It’s 2012 now… … and if it’s Taesan Group… … .”
Soon it will be 2013.
Then, the Taesan Cheonan team with my father will be disbanded.
What does this mean?
* * *
The two weeks passed by in a flash.
During that time, I woke up early in the morning, went jogging, and ate three meals a day like my old body usually did, and found balance in my body.
I ran at least 3km a day, and at first it was very difficult for my body to run even 1km, but I gradually adapted, and thanks to my aunts, I was able to eat balanced meals, which was very comfortable.
As a result, I feel like my body is getting healthier and healthier.
I didn’t feel too bad.
Another surprising thing is,
“The previous owner of this body was a soccer player.”
Cha Seong-eun was a soccer player.
He also played for the Cheonan team as a striker for a year before quitting.
The funny thing is, the reason I quit soccer wasn’t because of an injury.
Because I was just lazy and lethargic.
So, it is said that Chairman Cha became furious and personally fired his son and sent him to the military.
He told me to come to my senses.
“That father is great, but this guy is also great.”
After his military service, Cha Seong-eun suddenly decided to become a coach and received leadership training, taking charge of an elementary school team and an amateur team.
Well, I’ll leave it to your imagination what the outcome would have been.
Isn’t it exquisite?
Not only did he become the son of Taesan Group, but that son also played soccer.
[Taesan Cheonan. Will the dissolution process proceed like this?]
[Taesan Cheonan is finally going through the dissolution process. Which K-League team will be next?]
The K-League is set to launch in 2013.
2013 was a year that left a mark on the history of the K-League.
The K League, celebrating its 30th anniversary, is introducing a promotion and relegation system for the first time in domestic history, relegating the team with the worst performance from the first division to the second division.
Additionally, K-League matches, which were previously broadcast only on terrestrial channels, will be broadcast in their entirety on both Part 1 and Part 2, making their first foray into cable broadcasting.
In the midst of so many changes, Taesan Cheonan is facing dissolution.
The reason is simple.
“It must be because of my perennial last place performance.”
During these two weeks, I looked into the achievements and history of Taesan Cheonan in detail.
The more I learn, the more I can’t believe how a team like this could exist.
It was fortunate that it wasn’t disbanded earlier.
“In a way, this could be an opportunity.”
Clearly this was an opportunity.
Because I have some involvement in soccer.
Moreover, the one who holds the fate of the Cheonan team in his hands is none other than Chairman Cha, the father of this body.
“We can’t just let the team disband like this.”
Suddenly this thought occurred to me.
Perhaps the heavens, feeling sorry for my father’s talent, gave me this opportunity.
I want to help my father develop his talents and fly as high as he wants.
Even if that’s not the case, I’ve already made up my mind.
That’s why I dare to commit acts without fear.
For my father, for his dream.
dripping-.
“Come in.”
I entered Chairman Cha’s study.
He was reading a book with his glasses on, and he glanced at my face and smiled briefly, then his expression changed to a stern one as if nothing had happened.
What I learned from meeting Chairman Cha for two weeks is that he loves his youngest son very much.
Didn’t they say that parents are the ones who take care of even the most rotten of children?
“I came because I have something to tell you.”
“Okay. Sit there.”
Chairman Cha looked at me suspiciously as I sat on the sofa.
“What are you trying to say to set the mood like that? Are you… … .”
“yes?”
“Did you have an accident? Did you suddenly have a grandchild?”
I was a bit worried that it might not really exist.
Because it’s only been two weeks since I got this body.
“no.”
“Then did you hit someone?”
“No.”
“… … You didn’t commit any fraud, did you?”
“That’s not it.”
I wonder how much of a jerk this guy must have been to make such a sound.
Chairman Cha sighed in relief and leaned back comfortably.
“Okay. Then what is it?”
“That… …there’s Taesan Cheonan.”
Chairman Cha frowned at the mention of the soccer team.
From what I found out, Chairman Cha really liked sports and had a lot of affection for the soccer team.
But since they’re not winning, but rather always in last place, my blood pressure can’t help but rise.
“Why is that?”
That’s probably why his voice is sharp.
“I heard they’re disbanding.”
“It’s the natural order.”
I hesitated for a moment, then made up my mind and spoke to Chairman Cha.
“Can you not do it?”
“Hmm? What?”
“Taesan Cheonan. Can’t you continue operating it?”
Chairman Cha looked at me with a look of disbelief.
“Why? They’ve fired the manager, and the coaching staff is ready to take off their clothes. Not to mention the players. Are you saying we should keep the team without a manager?”
“The director can be saved.”
“No one would want to come to Cheonan. It’s called the career graveyard.”
That’s not wrong.
That’s why both the coaches and the players are reluctant to come to Cheonan.
but-.
“I’m here.”
“… … ?”
Chairman Cha blinked several times.
“What are you talking about now?”
I spoke clearly and distinctly so that Chairman Cha could understand.
“I want to become the new manager of Taesan Cheonan.”
