Episode 138 KATA TON DAIMONA EAYTOY (1)

Children grow up day by day.

I’m not just talking about physical conditions.

Rather, if we look at the physical aspect alone, it is hard to feel any difference between today and yesterday.

“Dae-yoon, let’s go together!”

Tae-yoon Hwang, now in the fourth grade of elementary school, shouted at his friend walking ahead of him and ran hurriedly.

“Oh, hello.”

“I should say good morning. Good morning. Don’t you know?”

When I see my friend Hong Dae-yoon smiling brightly, I can’t help but smile.

The beginning of Hong Dae-yoon and Hwang Tae-yoon’s relationship was a bad one.

Tae-yoon Hwang, an ordinary child from an ordinary family.

On the other hand, Hwang Tae-yoon still remembers that when Hong Dae-yoon’s father came to the entrance ceremony, there was quite a commotion among the parents.

At that time, Hong Dae-yoon’s father was a third-rate celebrity who was often ignored. However, being third-rate is a title that only those who consistently appear on TV or various media can have.

There are so many celebrities that you can’t even count them, like scattered sugar. It’s only the ones you see all the time, but there are a lot of people on the street whose faces you don’t even recognize.

That’s why on the day of the entrance ceremony, Hong Dae-yoon looked special.

I guess I was just jealous for no reason.

The similarity in names was a very minor motive that fueled jealousy… … .

Of course, now we are really close friends.

He even has a sense of chivalry to protect Hong Dae-yoon, who is relatively short.

Hwang Tae-yoon asked, putting his arm around Dae-yoon’s shoulder.

“Did you watch the music show last week?”

“Hehehe… … .”

“Shake. If you saw it, just say you saw it. It’s funny.”

“Oh. I saw it.”

“Wow, that was cool. Master and Father.”

“… … .”

It seems that the incident at the police station that day was a big deal for Hwang Tae-yoon.

It’s not a big deal, in a bad way.

Should I say that I gained some kind of enlightenment from his confident attitude towards everything?

“It seems like only yesterday that I realized the responsibility of great power… … We’re already in the fourth year… … .”

Then Hwang Tae-yoon clenched his fist into a round shape.

Even though his chubby hands didn’t look sharp at all, Hwang Tae-yoon looked at his fist and smiled vainly.

As if he was appeasing the black flame dragon sealed in his arm.

“Calm down. Power must be used justly. Rocket Punch.”

“… … Are you still like that these days?”

“what?”

“Talking to your right hand.”

Hwang Tae-yoon smiled faintly at Hong Dae-yoon’s words.

“Our good Daeyoon doesn’t need to know that. My old fists wandered and committed terrible acts that tormented you. But I’m different now. I met him and realized the great responsibility that comes with great power. I will protect you.”

Hong Dae-yoon smiled brightly.

It’s not like I’m laughing or laughing at all. It’s just funny.

It’s even funnier that he’s not doing this to be funny. Hwang Tae-yoon has been like this since he became a 4th grader.

They try to talk like adults, as if to emphasize to everyone that they have gone through a huge change. They even use difficult words like empathy and so on.

When I see adults reading newspapers to use such words, I think that my friend’s early onset of second-year puberty isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

“Let’s go together!”

As Hong Dae-yoon and Hwang Tae-yoon turn their heads at the same time at the sound from behind, someone flies in and digs between them.

One of my best friends is Guk-yeong.

His last name is ‘Jang’, but for some reason, adults keep laughing when Guk-yeong reveals his first name by adding his last name.

“Are you guys the Blue Army or the White Army?”

In the third grade, we were all in the same class, but in the fourth grade, the classes were split.

Leslie Cheung looked at the two people and asked.

Since they are in the same class anyway, they will naturally be on the same team.

Usually, in times like this, Hong Dae-yoon just laughs, wondering what’s so funny, and Hwang Tae-yoon mostly answers.

This time too, the same thing.

Hwang Tae-yoon raised his right fist and blew air as if blowing out a candle, then opened his mouth.

“Our White Army.”

“Oh, that’s good?”

“Hehehe. Are you a Baekgun too?”

“uh.”

When Leslie Cheung answered brightly, excited that they were on the same team, Hwang Tae-yoon glared at him coldly.

“Apologize to Daeyoon.”

“Oh, why again?”

“When you attacked from behind, Daeyoon’s shoulder might have been injured. Did you ask Daeyoon if that was okay?”

“Oh, really. I think you were better back then. It’s really weird.”

“Really? Then what… … Hehehe.”

To Leslie Cheung’s irritation, Huang Tae-yoon didn’t drag out his words and just laughed them off.

I did it seriously, but it was kind of a joke.

It is also true that we continue to protect Hong Dae-yoon in this way.

Now I know.

Even if the one doing it thinks it’s a joke, the one receiving it may think it’s different.

This is especially true for Hong Dae-yoon, who is still on the small side, so he tells his friends about it as a joke.

Children are surprisingly cold-hearted about the hierarchy of power, so if you don’t teach them this consistently, they’ll soon forget.

“Master. How are you?”

Hwang Tae-yoon looked up at the sky for no reason in front of the school gate.

The dazzling early morning sun made him squint his eyes, but Hwang Tae-yoon silently engaged in a staring contest with the sun.

“Isn’t it ‘teacher’ not ‘master’? If you’re going to call me ‘teacher’, why don’t you add ‘nim’?”

This is Hong Dae-yoon.

A small guy who is like a younger brother to me.

Hwang Tae-yoon smiled, thinking, “He’s still young.”

“I’m not talking about my school teacher, but the teacher who gave me enlightenment.”

“… … Hehehe… … .”

“Is your father coming today?”

“No, they’re busy. Just Mom.”

Students will attend school at regular school hours, but parents will be required to arrive by 10 a.m.

There are concerns that safety accidents may occur if parents and students gather together at the same time.

“That’s too bad. Let’s have lunch together.”

As he said that, Hwang Tae-yoon snatched the bag off Hong Dae-yoon’s shoulder.

“Uh, why?”

“You need to grow taller. At least reduce the weight of your bag.”

“Phew. You’ve become a bit strange.”

Leslie Cheung agreed with Hong Dae-yoon’s words.

“It’s gotten a lot weirder. Since I met that scary guy.”

To Leslie Cheung, he is still an incredibly scary older brother.

He was famous then, but he is even more famous now… … He has the whole nation talking… … .

‘Ah, sh*t, I’m so scared I can’t even say my name.’

Just as Leslie Cheung was a scary being who couldn’t even say the name of a movie, he couldn’t even say his brother’s name in his head.

Huang Taeyoon smiled as he put his hand between Leslie Cheung’s back.

“Give me your bag too. You need to grow up a bit too.”

“What? I’m big. You’re just a bit bigger.”

“Hahaha. Little guy.”

“If you weren’t strong, you would have been called an idiot.”

“Because I have great power. I just have to have a sense of responsibility that matches that. Hehehe… … .”

Leaving Hwang Tae-yoon’s smile behind, the morning of the sports day at Yeongdong Elementary School dawned.

Of course, even his son Hong Dae-yoon doesn’t know that his father’s Blue Porcelain had skipped all the events and headed to the beauty salon early to rush to elementary school.

* * *

“Are you in really good condition today?”

As I said that and shrugged my shoulders, Taeju hyung burst into laughter.

“You seem to be in good condition, but Youngpil is really nervous.”

When I turned my head after hearing Tae-ju hyung’s words, I saw Yeong-pil hyung curled up in a corner and muttering something.

“The Son of God in heaven… … the Almighty… … who created heaven and earth… … .”

“Oh really. Is this your son’s first time going to a sports day? Why are you so nervous? And you’re a Christian? Why didn’t I know about it until now?”

At my words, Youngpil took a deep breath and licked his lips.

“Christianity… … no… … I haven’t memorized the Heart Sutra yet… … .”

“That’s not what I’m saying.”

“If you’re talking about exercise… … club meetings, I haven’t been able to go yet… … even once.”

huh?

That’s a bit weird.

It’s true that I don’t know my brothers well because 30 years have passed. Even so, I know for sure that Youngpil is terrible to Daeyoon.

Well, that’s something you can’t help but know right away.

So I asked.

“Why didn’t you go? Isn’t Daeyoon a 4th grader now? Then there were three sports days, right? Oh… … Because of Corona or something?”

“no.”

“Oh, this is frustrating. No, shouldn’t there be an explanation next time?”

When I pretended to beat my chest, a bitter wrinkle appeared on Youngpil’s face.

I thought to myself, “It’s time for these guys to get botox again,” and listened quietly. If I started talking about needing botox again at this point, it was obvious that the conversation would go off track.

Then, Youngpil slowly opens his mouth while staring out the car window with deep eyes.

“… … On the day of the entrance ceremony, I went to school holding Daeyoon’s hand.”

“however?”

“That’s what happened.”

“… … ?”

“I thought it was natural for me to go since I’m Daeyoon’s father, but I went. People were gossiping here and there. Isn’t it Hong Yeongpil? And other parents and students were talking about it.”

I saw Dongsik nod his head slightly as if he knew something, but… I don’t know.

I understand what you’re saying, but I don’t agree with it.

I wonder if this is the difference in position between parents and children…

Since I only had a dad, I always held his hand when going to the entrance ceremony or sports day.

People may not know this, but if you do carpentry work for a long time, sawdust gets stuck under your fingernails. Your hands become rough.

My dad’s hands were like that.

I knew it even when I was very young.

So I asked again, casually.

“So you’re saying you didn’t go because you were afraid that Daeyoon would get teased?”

“That’s right. I’m not a famous celebrity, so I wouldn’t be able to raise a child. Rather, I felt like I would just be teased… … So I tried my best not to go after that.”

“I can’t admit that I’m a third-rate celebrity, but I’m secretly a third-rate dad.”

Yeongpil turns his gaze towards me, as if he was slightly hurt by my words.

So I opened my mouth quickly.

This guy doesn’t get upset easily, but when these people get upset, it lasts for a long time. Let’s get to the point quickly before they get upset.

“No matter what their father does for a child, their father is the best. This is especially true when they are young. Do you know why children become more ashamed of their fathers as they grow up?”

“… … .”

“Because the fathers themselves are ashamed.”

In other words, there is no child who would be the first to feel ashamed of a proud father… … . In fact, they would be the first to feel ashamed. They are children for no reason, they are still immature.

But putting that aside, I think my dad is a great guy and he can be proud of himself.

It could be my own bullshit philosophy, and if you say that I’m saying this because I don’t have a child yet, then I have nothing to say.

I told you, this is the difference in perspective between a child and a father.

I still don’t know what my father’s gaze is like, but the child’s gaze is close.

That’s what it looks like to me.

It could mean that my dad was just that great of a person… … .

I thought about my father for a moment and sat facing forward again.

and.

“You should be a great father from now on. Don’t be arrogant just because you’re doing well. Dads are supposed to be arrogant.”

“… … .”

“I’m searching for the Heart Sutra and memorizing it. I’ll make a fantastic dad debut in front of the parents and the whole school.”

Well, we’re doing pretty well right now so the parents will be happy if we just leave it alone.

To try to use more force than usual.

I stretched out my arm, opened the thermos that Suchan hyung had prepared himself, and took a sip.

“Ugh… … It’s getting hotter now, so what do you mean by warm water… … .”

However, if you want to improve your throat condition, management is essential.
