Dear Comrade the Leader Episode 350
When Hyein responded so proudly, Jeonghwan closed his mouth and sighed inwardly.
In the midst of a leisurely retirement life, what the hell kind of situation is this?
-Is this the ‘Father, I will inherit the throne’ that you have only heard of?
As her persuasion (threat) had worked to a certain extent and Jeonghwan seemed to shake a little, Hyein, who was looking for an opportunity, quickly lowered her voice and skillfully offered a compromise.
“I don’t even want my father’s help in the election. Because I have no intention of becoming a stupid second-generation politician who always builds a career relying solely on my own lineage. Father and mother don’t have to just deny that I am their daughter.”
“… … I really didn’t know that I would be treated like this in my later years by my only daughter and no one else. When I was young, I ridiculed Kim Il-sung, who had been beaten in the head by his own son, but now that I have grown up like this, I am not in a position to ridicule others.”
“Oh my, father. Who said slap in the back? If you promise not to interfere with my political career, I will reconsider my marriage plan.”
“… … What the hell is the reason for being so stupid until the end? let’s hear it Of course, even if I listen to it for a hundred days, my thoughts will never change!”
At Hye-in, who persistently persuades her to the end, Jeong-hwan is now more than angry and annoyed.
Why would he not have wanted to give all of these things to his family, Hyein, and the whole Republic as a gift?
Whenever he saw his daughter growing up from afar through photos and reports, whenever he saw his wife Yoo Hye-rim taking a flight to Singapore with all kinds of excuses, Jeong-hwan was always swayed by the temptation.
How much have I sacrificed for this country, is this enough to take care of my greed?
In 10 years, the rivers and mountains will change, so it would be better to raise a bloody successor to prepare for the ever-changing sect.
Above all, he had to fight the desire to keep his one and only daughter so close that he could always see her, and to give her all the good things she could give in this world, full of privileges and gifts that no father could give.
However, Junghwan overcame all the temptations and overcame the fight.
He won the battle and finally achieved an achievement that no other leader could surpass.
And now, I want to focus on my role as a father away from the politics full of mischief and seven passions.
Although there are no children in the world who grow up according to their parents’ wishes, Jeonghwan momentarily loses his usual self-control and raises his voice without realizing it because of the disappointment that his only daughter betrays the will that he and his wife have kept for the rest of his life.
But the next moment, he heard Hye-in’s poop and couldn’t help but be speechless for an instant.
There were faint tears in the eyes of the daughter, Hyein.
“… … You really don’t know? As a daughter, I am proud of my father and the legacy he has built.”
“… … .”
“I told you the night I reunited with my father after 15 years. At one time he resented his father, but at the same time he was proud of him. The present republic is a legacy that my father built for the rest of his life. And I want to be involved in preserving and cultivating that heritage, so why don’t you understand that?”
“… … It’s not that I don’t trust you. Regardless of you or my doctor, if you consider Hyein’s political position as my daughter… … Your choice is too risky for both you and the Republic. Idolization is sometimes beyond the control of even the idol itself. … … Democracy is not a very reliable system. Even now, my thoughts have not changed.”
“Then believe in the people themselves, not in democracy.”
“Even if the rest are the same, the North, no, the Republic still has time… … .”
“Both South and North. They are now wise enough to know which leaders are fit to lead them and their country, and how to bring down those who are not. Because I’ve already met the best leader once. But is the father who actually led them underestimating the people?”
Hyein, who had already wiped away her tears and insisted like this, came back with a cold expression.
“Already, little by little, opposition parties who evaluate my father’s achievements from an objective point of view are emerging. Even 10 years later, it may be revealed that his father’s concerns were in vain. At some point, if a leader who relies solely on fanatical support based on who he came from comes back… … Then the people will run out to the square and raise their voices. They are no longer foolish enough to mistake a god for a man.”
“honey… … .”
At that time, Hyerim Yoo, who had been silent all along, gently bent over and rested her body on Jeonghwan’s shoulder.
His wife’s soft hand approached Jeonghwan’s tight right hand.
“Now your child is all grown up. Both. Now I have to let him go into the world so he can walk on his own feet.”
“I just… … .”
“I know. But you did everything you could. Send it now.”
“… … .”
Silence fell on the table again.
Only the loud sound from the TV, which had already passed the commercial time, filled the living room again.
how much time has passed
Jeonghan took a deep breath and nodded his head slightly.
“… … Like I said, neither me nor your mother will help you advance into politics. Of course, don’t expect a phone call from the current general secretary to take care of you or give you special favors.”
“does not matter. It’s enough for me to say my name anyway. I’m thinking of continuing to use the surname of the saint’s mother… … .”
“That’s okay.”
“yes… … ?”
Jeonghwan stopped talking for a moment, but Hyein changed her expression and asked, bewildered.

No way… … ..
But the next moment, seeing Jeonghwan nod his head, her eyes filled with emotion.
“It means you can write ‘Kim’ Hyein when you enter the Republic. Your mother already agreed with you. Anyway, it’s the most common surname in Joseon. No one would have any privileges or anything with that. Above all, you are the daughter of this Kim Jung-hwan.”
“thanks… … father… … .”
“No thanks. The help I can give you as a politician in the future will not go beyond this line. As I did, you must make your own way.”
“Sure. I will not disappoint you.”
“Hmmmm, okay, then now… … .”
The unexpected family conflict that day was warmly finished, and when Hyerim Yoo, who was looking at the scene with a smile, was thinking about reheating the cold crab soup, Jeonghwan leaned forward and opened her eyes.
“… … Now that you seem to have done enough to be a father, you must have agreed to the marriage story, right? I’m the guy named Ri Kyung-soo… … I know a little personally, but he’s not cool at all. As you said, late marriage isn’t a problem in the old days, and the groom is looking for a better guy… … .”
“Hmm, I’ll have to think about that a bit more.”
“What… … ?!”
Jeonghwan’s eyebrows swung upward as he broke his daughter’s promise.
However, Hyein didn’t care and started to insert her fingers one by one, wiping her black, smooth hair behind her neck, just like her mother.
“When I think about it again, as I said before, marriage is my personal matter, right? In order to survive in the harsh political arena without a father’s halo, it is necessary to have a reliable companion, like a mother, both publicly and privately. … .”
“Where the hell does that old-timer look like me?!?”
“Well, if you don’t agree, you can’t. Anyway, you know that soon, we’ll be buying plane tickets to the Republic and recruiting election camp aides first. Hmm, let’s see If you think about my father’s precedent, finding an advisor who will be my right hand for the rest of my life in this process… … .”
“I haven’t finished my words yet! Sit back… … .”
So one winter night in Washington DC passed, announcing the beginning of a certain female politician.
But that night was not just the moment when a young politician was born, it was the end of something that had been going on for over 30 years, and the beginning of something else.
* * *
“… … ha ha ha. Yes. A true child seems to never understand the heart of a parent until he or she becomes a parent. Oh, so what happened in the end?”
Again in the spring of 2021.
That’s how Junghwan ended the monologue he had been chatting alone for quite a long time like a complaint.
There was no way for an answer to come back from the tomb covered with soil, but Jeonghwan put his hand into his arms and pulled out a small metallic object as if he had heard the answer.
Then, he carefully placed the object, the small gold badge, held with two fingers, next to the paper cup containing the white flower robes of the altar in front of the tomb.
It was a badge engraved with a peony flower and a red star to symbolize the status of a delegate to the Supreme People’s Assembly, which was newly designed after the Supreme People’s Assembly found its function.
In Korea, it was the ‘gold badge’, a symbol of the National Assembly, but if it was different from that in Korea, it was that a person’s face was engraved in addition to the peony flower and the star. There was no objection to its inclusion in the symbol of the People’s Assembly.
Because he was the one who brought back to the people the Supreme People’s Assembly and all the rights it symbolized.
Even if you don’t have to.
“Oh, I know. What my father wanted all his life was a South Badge, not a North Badge. I don’t know if he wanted it that much in ‘here’… … Still, the father will be the first and last person to receive a member of the National Assembly badge with his son’s face engraved on it. Think of it as a gift from your granddaughter. of course… … .”
Jeonghwan swallowed the words, ‘I don’t know whether you are my daughter or me here’ until the end.
I made up my mind long ago to stop looking for family members in other worlds that I didn’t even know I existed.
So, even when he heard that they had passed away, Junghwan always suppressed himself, thinking that it was meaningless and unnecessary to deliberately visit a grave that had nothing to do with him and to attract public attention.
But for this one time, for the moment when the daughter and granddaughter fulfilled the family’s long-cherished wish, Jeonghwan thought that it would be okay to give it to herself.
On the tombstone in front of the tomb, looking at Jeonghwan with an expression that cannot be described in words, the name of the owner of the tomb was written as follows.
-Lee Jeong-soo, the deceased
“… … .”
For a long time, at least while living in this world, Jeonghwan had no father.
His father, known to the world, was always Kim Il-sung, and he called him father all his life, but Jung-hwan himself never thought of him as his father.
But even the father himself in this world would not know that he had a son.
So Junghwan always felt like he had lost his father.
A person who could be said to be the motive that led him to this point, and a person who wanted to show the achievements of his son more than anyone else, his father.
And now, Junghwan has found his lost father again.
And now, Junghwan has found his lost father again.
For a moment, Jeonghwan stood in front of his father’s grave and looked back on the path he had taken.
All of that came to mind so clearly as if it had happened yesterday.
“… … Wow, looking back, I’ve done quite a bit of work. He founded a country, made that country prosperous, restored the rights of its people, won the war to restore the nation’s homeland, and even unified two countries that had been divided for a long time… … and… … .”
Jeonghwan, who continued his last words, trembled slightly for a moment.
The warm March wind gently shook his hair, which was now gradually turning white.
The sunlight of spring, announcing a new beginning, was reflected in the faint tears that Lee Jung-hwan had never seen before and sparkled.
“… … Now, both of the children I raised have grown up wonderfully, going beyond me and caring for their own future with their own legs. How is it. Father, isn’t this a pretty good son?”
Gaiden, a story that starts with father and ends with father (Wan)
Dear Comrade Leader (Wan)
#writer’s words
Yes, with this, the main story and the side story have been completed.
It can be summarized by saying that the main story was the conclusion of Kim Jung-hwan and the side story was the conclusion of Lee Jung-hwan.
It’s really hard to put into words, and there are a lot of things I want to say, but in fact, most of it seems to have already been said at the end of the main story.
For now, I can only hope that the ending will satisfy everyone.
About the next project… … I can’t think of anything that comes to mind yet because I’m the writer who lacks original skills.
So now, I would like to ask you to take care of yourself in this suspicious situation, and above all, I just want to say thank you.
Thank you for accompanying me on the journey that lasted for one year and four months from April of last year, and for sending such undeserved love and support to a writer like me,
Thank you very much.
We hope to see you again as soon as possible.
