Episode 217: An Unexpected Gift

Only after a few days did Elder Park and Geonwoo Park finally get up from their heavy buttocks.

“Ugh- I don’t want to go.”

“That’s right. If I go out, I’ll have to work again.”

Listening to their conversation, I felt a pang of sadness.

Why do I feel like I’ve been taught some joy that I shouldn’t know about?

Still, the liveliness and pleasant smiles on both of their faces made me feel good too.

“If you ever have a hard time, come visit the farm.”

Mr. Park and Mr. Park Geon-woo smiled faintly as they saw me off.

“Thank you always. Thanks to you, I can rest well.”

“Thank you, Jinsol. I’ve gained a lot from you.”

Then the two bowed their heads and expressed their gratitude.

I also quickly bowed my head.

“I was a person who only knew work all my life. It was a truly frustrating life. I was a fearful senior and teacher to my juniors and students, and a bad father who couldn’t take proper care of his son.”

Elder Park raised his head and looked up at the sky, slowly reciting his regrets.

“At the time, I thought that was right. It was such a foolish thought.”

What the current Park No-woong says to the old Park No-woong.

“How foolish of me to be so. To be honest, I thought that I had to somehow recover the twenty years I had wasted. I thought that only then would the pain and regret disappear.”

I couldn’t help but keep my mouth shut because of the deep story that I couldn’t even guess.

“Then my son won’t feel sorry for me. The world will accept us again. He pushed me again with the excuse that he could fulfill the duty he couldn’t do.”

“… … .”

“Now that I think about it, I think there were a lot of excuses. I was just impatient. I wanted to somehow fill the deep scars in my life. I wanted to somehow eliminate the damage. It was just my greed… … .”

The old man’s words flowed lonely into the yard.

My family and I were unable to speak or comfort her.

Because I know how big the wound is.

The scar was so big that there was nothing that could be done.

However, the expression on Mr. Park’s face as he confessed his pain was calm.

“I had no choice but to push myself too hard because I was too greedy. After all, it’s my life.”

I could understand the reason from what Mr. Park said next.

I guess you’ve decided to accept the hurt from the past.

“Don’t try to cover up the scars that can’t be erased, just accept them. Sometimes it hurts, sometimes it makes you regret, and sometimes it takes a break. I’m going to live like that. Thanks to you, I’ve gained a great awakening.”

Park Geon-woo looked surprised for a moment at his father’s words.

“I had similar thoughts.”

He soon confessed that he had come to a similar realization as his father.

“I have to accept these 20 years to have a next step. I can’t be the same as before. I have to accept that I’ve become a new person and find the right look for myself. That’s what I thought.”

Mr. Park smiled happily at his son’s words.

“I see. I had a feeling that would be the case.”

“That’s right. I didn’t know that my father was thinking the same thing.”

“Like son, like father.”

“Is this a joke?”

The two of them burst into hearty laughter.

I was convinced when I saw their laughter.

I guess I won’t be in pain anymore.

Some say that pain is something you have to overcome. Some say that it will fade away with time.

There are many other methods and solutions as well.

It’s not a question of who is right or wrong, it’s a question of what you choose.

The two chose to accept their wounds, the scars that remain.

So, let’s embrace this and move forward.

“But, father, you took care of me for 20 years. It wasn’t time wasted. Who in the world would say that a father who took care of his fallen son wasted his time?”

“I see.”

“So don’t worry. I will slowly change myself. I will become a better son.”

“You are already a wonderful son. So just grow up healthy.”

“I’m already all grown up!”

Laughter erupted again.

We accepted our wounds and decided to change, which made it easier for us to open up to each other and brought us closer.

“Perhaps twenty years will give us new insight. Thank you, it was possible thanks to you.”

“Thank you, Jinsol. Now I can see the path.”

He smiled gently at the two’s expressions of gratitude.

Actually, all I did was make a rest schedule and give you food.

Rather, thanks to the two of them, I also gained a small enlightenment.

‘There is no such thing as meaningless time.’

The hardships of the past 20 years, as well as the efforts of recent years, have all been a stepping stone to my current enlightenment.

It is their own ability that allows them to achieve great enlightenment by taking small opportunities.

“Congratulations.”

You deserve to be congratulated.

The road to see off Mr. Park and Mr. Park Geon-woo.

“Installmenteeeeee-!”

“Hahahahahahaha!”

Seol-ah and Gye-su, who had been quiet until now, burst into tears and clung to Elder Park’s legs.

“Tiger installment audition? Buy it for value!”

“Don’t pay your installment bill!”

It seems sad that the grandfather who we have become close friends with is leaving.

I was hanging on to the bridge and crying tears like chicken shit.

“Oh my, what should I do? I have to go see my grandfather for some work.”

“Don’t rent it- it’s terrible!”

“No, sir, Shiro-!”

Even though this wasn’t the phrase I was told to use in such situations, I felt proud for some reason.

As expected, our Seol-ah is smart.

“Oh my, Seol-ah and Gye-su are so good at talking! How can they be so smart?”

“I’m not going to go, I’m not going to Java, I’m a muggle, huh-!”

“Are you going to eat the mask?”

“Ouch! I’m going to eat Java! Oh my!”

Mr. Park and I both just look so cute.

Regardless, the two’s crying grew louder.

The count began to cry sadly, even with snot forming in his nostrils.

Seol-ah expressed her sorrow by making a strange sound that was either imitating the sound of a tiger’s roar or a crying sound.

“Oh my, why are you all crying so sadly? Thump, thump-”

“Ugh-”

“Swooooong-”

As Mr. Park tried to soothe her, the crying grew louder and reached a peak.

The two of them soon buried their faces in their pants.

Is it to show the will to never fall?

The voices of children mumbling something with their faces buried in the ground echoed faintly.

Elder Park looked at the children with loving eyes and gently patted their heads.

“Instead, let’s play the pebble hunt with Grandpa again next time. What do you think? Seol-ah, Gye-su, and I will look for pretty stones together.”

“really……?”

“Soo-?”

After quite some time had passed, Seol-ah and Gye-su slowly turned away and looked up at their grandfather.

Vivid tear stains and snot stains left on the hem of his pants.

I nodded, looking at her face covered in tears and snot.

“Graham- Grandpa Tiger doesn’t lie. Let’s make this promise.”

Only after making a promise on Mr. Park’s extended little finger did Seol-ah and Gye-su leave.

Rather, it feels like Mr. Park is feeling regretful.

Park Geon-woo, who had been waiting for the next thing, opened his mouth wide.

“I am……?”

He knew how to cry and throw a tantrum, but he looks upset because it wasn’t his turn.

Seol-ah and Gye-su had already cried so much that their eyes were watering.

“Mr. Geonwoo.”

Andre stepped forward.

If you think about it, Andre was the only one who followed Park Geon-woo.

It was the same when I first learned of Park Geon-woo’s talent, but it was even more so when I heard that he had been unable to wake up for a long time while trying to save his comrades and people.

In front, Andre opened his mouth stammeringly with a red face.

“Training… … will continue… … right… …?”

Park Geon-woo placed his hand on Andre’s head and placed his chin on it.

“of course.”

Only after he nodded his head in agreement did a smile of relief spread across Andre’s lips.

“We should continue the training club. Oh, but instead.”

Andre tilted his head at the brief pause in his speech.

“We’re going to start serious training from now on, so prepare yourself well.”

“yes!”

A cool smile spread across Park Geon-woo’s lips at Andre’s powerful answer.

A smile that is exactly like the confident smile I used to see on TV.

I dare to predict that sooner or later, South Korea will witness the glorious revival of its hero.

After Mr. Park and Mr. Park Geon-woo said goodbye to their family members and left.

“Phew- It feels a bit empty.”

Somehow the farm felt empty.

“That’s right.”

“It’s somehow quiet.”

The family members all nodded, as if they had similar thoughts.

Seol-ah stared blankly in the direction I was looking for a moment.

“Hey, when are you guys coming over to play?”

I was asked about the fan meeting.

Oh, Hyungseok said he would post an announcement and related video soon.

Then I checked my smartphone which was ringing.

[Hyung Jinsol, I just uploaded the notice and video]

The notice and video just came up.

“Seol-ah! A notice has been posted inviting strawberry farmers to the farm!”

“Byaa-!”

I picked up Seol-ah, whose eyes were sparkling, and quickly headed to the laptop.

Open your laptop, go to the farm channel and check out the community.

[2 million subscribers and 10 million video views event]

The notice that was posted caught my eye.

The following text is about how they are grateful for all the love so far and that they will be holding fan meeting events to celebrate reaching 2 million and 100,000 subscribers on the Happy Farm and Elena Channel respectively.

The fan meeting location is Haengbok Farm, and it was also stated that transportation will be provided by either driving yourself or chartering a bus from each branch.

However, the method for selecting the fan meeting participants was quite strict.

[As this is a precious meeting, we will try to select it based on proper criteria even if it is a bit inconvenient.]

First, we decided to select subscribers who have been subscribed for at least a month before the announcement, and second, we decided to review the comments.

It’s okay to be silent, but if you leave a bad comment or criticize someone, you will be disqualified.

In addition, there is a method of randomly selecting people who have passed a certain standard by comprehensively considering their activity history, etc.

‘Even reviewing comments? Isn’t that too strict?’

‘It’s an important fan meeting, so I definitely have to watch it.’

Despite my concerns, Hyung-seok’s attitude was firm.

As this is a precious fan meeting that the farm family has prepared with great effort, we hope that those who are sincere to the farm and Seol-ah will come.

I also felt the same way, so I couldn’t stop Hyungseok’s strong will.

That’s all for the formalities.

Just below, there was a photo of an invitation written in crooked handwriting.

An invitation written by Seol-ah herself.

I liked the invitation idea I shared when I invited the village elders last time, so I decided to use it again this time.

[You are invited to the farm where Hangbogi grows]

[Hello, Sera-aeyo – Nice to meet you, Strawberry!]

[Sera Strawberry, I’m waiting for you every single day-]

[I wish you would hurry up and write down the value of Waso.]

[Eat rice, eat strawberries, and have fun!]

[Strawberries, hurry up and check it out!]

A short invitation written with care by Seol-ah.

And below, there was a picture of the farm staff welcoming the strawberry farmers.

What’s interesting is that the strawberry visitors to the farm are drawn as real strawberries.

[Oh my, did Seol-ah write and draw this herself? Oh my, it’s so cute♥♥♥]

[You drew us as strawberries?]

[└ Doesn’t it look like a heart? It’s so prettyㅜㅜㅜㅜ]

[└Oh my, you have such a beautiful imagination. It’s even better when you think of it that wayㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜ]

[Wow! Is this finally my chance to see Seol-ah in person? I can’t stand it!]

[I’m so excited to have the chance to see the farm in person!!!]

[God, Buddha, God of Heaven and Earth! Please let me win!]

[I never thought I’d want something more desperately than true awakeningㅜㅜㅜㅜ]

Fortunately, the response from subscribers was good.

Despite the strict standards, there were many positive responses.

[That’s right, it’s better for both parties to choose people who are actually active and love the channel rather than just getting lucky and going.]

[Isn’t the standard too low? I think more people will pass than I thought.]

[└22222]

[└33333]

There is even talk that the current benchmark is low.

Anyway, that’s fortunate.

The next thing I checked was the video that was uploaded almost at the same time.

[Preparing for the first fan meeting 1 – Views: 100k, Likes: 5k]

Although it hasn’t been uploaded for very long, it has already surpassed 100,000 views, and the rate of increase in views is incredibly fast compared to usual.

The thumbnail in particular stood out.

The last time we practiced for a fan meeting together, we all sat on the floor and shared drinks.

Their faces, drenched in sweat and smiling brightly at the camera, were full of the feeling of summer.

The video that follows briefly shows the process of everyone putting together a fan meeting stage and practicing for the event.

[Oh my, is Seol-ah even singing? She would be so cute♥♥♥♥]

[I guess you set up the stage yourself, I can see why you’re late]

[Wow, has there ever been a fan meeting like this in recent times? A fan meeting that you actually prepare for from start to finish, it’s even more awesome because it’s like a farm where happiness grows♥♥♥]

[After watching the process, I looked at the thumbnail and it made me feel even more touched ㅠㅠㅠ]

[└Me too. I feel like I’m crying because I can feel the love for my subscribers in that bright smile ㅜㅜㅜ]

Although the entire process wasn’t shown, everyone liked it because even just seeing some of it showed how much sincerity was put into the preparation.

According to Hyungseok, he plans to upload 2 to 3 videos of the preparation process in a way that will build anticipation while refraining from giving away spoilers as much as possible.

First off, the first button feels great.

“Then shall we start practicing?”

“Peck!”

“Let’s get started with courage!”

Everyone is trying to practice for the subscribers who are looking forward to today.

“Is Jinsol here?”

A voice was heard outside the front door.

A voice that seems somehow familiar.

The three puppy brothers were the first to realize the identity of the voice.

The guys who had been jumping up and down excitedly just a moment ago suddenly started to hug each other tightly, tail wagging.

Huh? Isn’t that what you do before getting an injection?

“Oh my gosh, fish!”

“Director Hamsarang?”

Seol-ah and I both recognized the owner of the voice at the same time.

As soon as the front door was opened, Ham Sa-rang, who was very excited, was standing in front of the front door, fidgeting and restless.

She soon faced me and took a few deep breaths.

“The gift I promised you last time… … Please accept it!”

He held out something and couldn’t help but be surprised by the unexpected gift.
