Even though I decided to participate in the Biennale, I couldn’t immediately focus on creating art pieces.
Because I spent my time neglecting everything except sports while participating in the Olympics, I had a lot to organize and take care of.
But the most important thing among them is.
“Brother.”
Girlfriend number one was Hong Ah-hyun.
“Hey, have you eaten?”
“No, I came quickly to eat with my brother.”
I’ve been staying at her house for a week since I came to Korea.
In the past, there was a pitiful view towards the idea of being an artist.
Now, perhaps because he had won an Olympic gold medal, his eyes were filled with pride.
But putting aside this kind of care.
Honestly, I don’t know about anything else, but there’s something that impressed me.
According to an article that came out a while ago, she offered to buy my work for 8.6 billion won, but I declined.
‘No, why don’t you sell it?’
When I first heard it, I was shocked.
If it were me, I would sell it right away and draw another piece as a service, but this woman refused to sell it, saying, “This painting is difficult to put a price on!”
Well, I guess it’s because there are so many people with so much money that it’s not something to be envious of…
Anyway, judging from the attitude towards my work, it seemed like the stigma attached to me had not yet been removed.
“But, brother.”
“huh?”
“If I go to the Biennale exhibition, won’t I not be able to come to Korea for a few more months?”
“yes.”
“Ah······ Then we won’t be able to see each other again?”
Hong Ah-hyun pouted her lips sullenly.
“I don’t want to be apart from you anymore.”
“Then what should I do? We can’t fly together.”
“Should I just make it public?”
She looked at me with serious eyes.
“Just reveal the truth about our relationship.”
No, it won’t work.
I need to fly to Italy, climb the Duomo in Florence, find the second catfish, and take a picture of Between Cool and Passion.
“Or, rather······.”
Hong Ah-hyun clung tightly to my side.
“Should we just get married?”
“uh······?”
“No, that’s right. You like me too, and I’ll like you for the rest of my life, but at this point, you can just stamp your seal.”
I was horrified.
Marriage for an alpha male like me.
Most surviving alpha males in the animal kingdom are not satisfied with monogamy.
“No, Ah-hyun.”
I pushed her away calmly.
“You’re in your prime right now. Dating rumors are fatal for an actress, but marriage is basically the end.”
“I appreciate you thinking of me, but I’m really okay. I like you more than my acting career.”
I said no.
We have to persuade them.
Hong Ah-hyun needs to get her away without making her feel bad.
That way, I can keep using my dating account.
“My lover Hong Ah-hyun, my wife Hong Ah-hyun is also good, but I want to see you shine as an actress.”
“Brother······!”
Her eyes sparkled with emotion.
“I didn’t know you thought of me that much!”
“uh?”
“No, I thought you only wanted to see me every time… I almost got a little upset. But you wanted me to shine even brighter.”
“That, that’s right······?”
“That’s why I intentionally didn’t contact you while I was on set for my schedule!”
“Oh, that’s right.”
I can’t say that I cheated on my girlfriend #2.
“It won’t work.”
Hong Ah-hyun clenched her fists as if she had made up her mind.
“I really didn’t want to hurt my pride!”
“uh······?”
She took a palm-sized cubic box out of the drawer.
It’s a very small size that could contain some jewelry.
I don’t feel good.
Oh, shit.
I think it’s fucked up?
“Brother.”
Hong Ah-hyun approached me with a determined expression, but with hearts drawn in her eyes as if she was in love.
Ugh-.
He lowered his posture, kneeling on one knee.
What the fuck.
This is an angle we often see in dramas.
“I didn’t want to do it because I was afraid it would hurt my pride as a woman.”
She smiled warmly.
“But I just can’t stand it.”
“······What, what?”
“I don’t want to lose it. I want to catch it while I can. I don’t want my pride to be hurt.”
Hong Ah-hyun nodded as if mumbling to herself.
Unlike before, he spoke in a strangely trembling voice.
“Brother, me and······.”
He opened the small box in his palm.
“Will you marry me?”
The ring popped out.
‘Fuck, this is fucked up.’
But there was nowhere to run.
If I accepted here, my potential as a Casanova would be put to sleep forever.
But what you could gain was enormous.
Hong Ah-hyun’s wealth! Beautiful looks! Voluptuous body!
And above all, the symbolism of being an alpha male who has legally captured the woman that countless men in South Korea want!
I couldn’t give up anything.
My choice was made.
“Okay, Ah-hyun.”
“······!”
Hong Ah-hyun hugged me tightly with a bright smile.
“thank you!”
“But can you do me one favor?”
“Anything!”
“I think it’s up to men to manage their finances.”
If there had been Kim Cheomji during the Joseon Dynasty.
In South Korea, there is Han Seok-jae.
***
“What is that?”
“what?”
“There’s something weird on the fourth finger of your left hand?”
“······Is there dust on it?”
“Anyone can tell it’s a ring.”
Bae Jeong-min couldn’t contain his curiosity and came over and asked.
“Are you really getting married?”
“Well, that’s what happened.”
“oh my god.”
The guy covered his mouth.
“Have you heard the saying, ‘5 years of value for money, 10 years of promise?’”
Bae Jeong-min poked my ribs.
“If you can hold out for 10 years, I’m sure you’ll get half the fortune, if nothing else.”
“I’m not getting a divorce.”
“why?”
“It may sound vulgar to say this, but Hong Ah-hyun’s wealth is enormous.”
“Have you checked already?”
“I said let’s open it because I have to get married.”

“Oh, really?”
Since we’re good at selling drugs, we need to be honest with each other, and that’s what happened, so we opened right away.
While my assets were worth around 3 billion won, she had dozens of bank accounts.
“It was close to 100 billion won.”
“crazy······.”
“But it was only cash.”
“······!”
If you include real estate, it seemed like there were hundreds of billions more.
“I can’t manage my finances. Hehehe.”
The guy said with a laugh.
“You need to use the living expenses and allowance you receive?”
I snorted.
“I was supposed to be in charge of managing the money?”
“······I left it to you?”
“of course.”
I sold some medicine.
“Ah-hyeon told me to continue working because she shined as an actress, and I decided to focus on building up my skills.”
“······Crazy. Did that work?”
“of course.”
Living expenses? Allowance?
There’s no need for that.
It’s all my money now.
“Then you can withdraw cash and spend it as you please?”
“No, he gave me the card.”
“card?”
I took a black card out of my pocket and showed it to him.
“Is that the black card?”
“that’s right.”
The top 0.01% in South Korea.
That card was given to exactly 999 people who had wealth, honor, and dignity after internal screening by the card company.
“You don’t need a dating account or anything like that. Use this.”
“······i envy you.”
Bae Jeong-min expressed deep envy.
“Do your girlfriends #2 and #3 have a lot of money?”
“Uh, why?”
“Now that I’m married, can you introduce me to someone?”
“You crazy kid.”
“My dream is to be a pillar of society.”
“Don’t be a jerk.”
It’s impossible.
“Ha, life.”
He looked gloomily at the sky.
“Why did Heaven give birth to me and that bastard Han Seok-jae, making me feel deprived?”
***
We have begun full-scale preparations for the Biennale with Bae Jeong-min.
“Stone.”
“uh?”
“What are you doing now?”
“······I know.”
What are you really doing?
In the past, I didn’t know anything, so I just stirred things around and finished it.
Now that so much attention is focused on me, I can’t be as sloppy as I used to be.
“Don’t lose your beginner’s mind.”
Bae Jeong-min said solemnly.
“How about we just go on like before?”
“how?”
“Let’s just get a piece of A4 paper and scribble down some random things. Then, won’t everyone look at it, figure out the meaning, and analyze it?”
“······That is correct.”
I don’t really know anything about art.
It’s too late to study now.
Then, we can only hope that someone will give it some meaning, just like before.
“But I think I have a bit of a rebellious streak.”
“Why again?”
“I don’t know if it was because so many people knew about me, or if I got cocky because there were so many expectations… but I really wanted to do something meaningful.”
At those words, Bae Jeong-min looked startled and grabbed my shoulder.
“Han Seok-jae, you crazy bastard. Come to your senses.”
“why?”
“When uneducated people like us start to have some kind of philosophy or beliefs, that’s dangerous.”
“Is that so?”
“Of course. That’s something professors and educated people do, and if we do it, it becomes bullshit philosophy.”
“Hmm······.”
“If you start putting in strange philosophies, it’s really going to be ruined?”
“then?”
“We should just keep doing what we’ve been doing. The moment you try to look like someone who hasn’t even learned properly, you’re screwed. You’ll look ugly in other people’s eyes.”
That’s right.
I 100% agree with you, and I’ve actually seen a lot of people like that.
But my heart wasn’t like that.
“No matter what I do, everyone around me says it’s the right thing to do.”
“so.”
“No matter what happens now, isn’t the path I’m walking soon becoming the pioneer of a new genre?”
“This guy is crazy······.”
Bae Jeong-min sighed, touching his forehead.
“Have you finally fallen victim to art sickness? You don’t even know the meaning of art?”
“I think so.”
I think so too.
He sat down on the desk with his chin resting on his desk, seemingly exhausted.
“It’s a blessing in disguise.”
“why?”
“If you have art disease, the most dangerous thing is not knowing your own condition. But I don’t think you’re at that level.”
“Oh, that’s true.”
You need to understand the topic.
The moment you start having any really strange beliefs here, it’s over in an instant.
“So what do you want to do?”
Bae Jeong-min asked with his arms crossed.
“If you think so, you must have thought of something, right?”
“that’s right.”
I’ve had a lot to think about these past few days.
“There are too many fakes in the world.”
“FALSE?”
“I’m thinking about marrying Ah-hyeon, but I had very impure thoughts when I first started.”
No, actually, it might still be like that a little bit now.
“So what? Hong Ah-hyun… No, your sister-in-law is happy, and you are satisfied too.”
“Is that okay then?”
“Okay.”
“I think I’m lacking.”
“Then what do you want?”
I looked out the window.
“I want to prove that modern art is fake.”
“······That crazy guy.”
Bae Jeong-min let out a hollow laugh as if he was really angry.
“You really have artistic talent.”
“But I have thought of a way.”
“What is it?”
“If it succeeds, it could be an incredible performance. It could really shake up the world······.”
“Now that you mention it, I’m a little curious.”
Bae Jeong-min approached me as if his curiosity had been piqued.
“What exactly do you want to do?”
“Hmm, so······.”
After thinking for a moment, I got up from my seat.
“Come and see. I’ll show you.”
