Episode 145 Wedding

“Are you ready?”

“It’s done.”

My mother, who had been looking in the mirror and stroking her hair several times, finally came out of the bedroom.

“Eunsu looks handsome today too!”

Nod nod!

Looking more confident than usual.

The mother, who saw the child, was so cute that she couldn’t help but touch the child’s cheek.

“I’m going out now.”

“Let’s do that.”

When we went out, instead of heading straight to the car, we headed to the house next door.

Ding-dong! The doorbell rings.

Let’s wait a moment, Natasha, dressed in a white children’s dress, came out of the door hesitantly and with a look of uncertainty.

“You are as pretty as a princess.”

I smiled brightly and patted Natasha’s head.

“……huh.”

Then, as if she had gained a little more confidence, Natasha’s face brightened.

Originally, I had planned for just my mother and I to attend the wedding, but Eun-soo happened to hear a conversation through a crack in the door and stared at me.

Somehow, it looks like he wants to go together.

Let me ask a question just in case.

Eunsu nodded without a moment’s hesitation and ran off somewhere.

Exactly three minutes later.

Natasha stood still in the exact same spot where Eun-soo had been standing, staring at me blankly for a long time.

In the end, Natasha also ended up going to this wedding.

“Please take good care of Natasha.”

“Don’t worry.”

I’m exchanging brief greetings with Boris Kamenov.

Natasha was staring somewhere.

The gaze was directed to the two people’s hands.

It looks like he’s jealous of his mother and Eun-su holding hands.

… … That’s why I can’t even drink cold water in front of the kids.

I smiled and reached out my hand to Natasha.

“Shall I hold hands with you, sir?”

“……huh!”

So the four of us got into the car together.

* * *

The weather was so clear and sunny that you wouldn’t have thought it had rained until this morning.

Thanks to that, the sky was high and clear, without any fine dust.

“Are you here?”

A bright smile bloomed on Taekang’s lips.

“Is it good?”

“Okay.”

“Yeah, I’m glad you like it.”

“Mother, are you here?”

“Taekang looks even more handsome today.”

“What, haha! Oh! By the way, the two kids are here too?”

Eun-soo and Natasha, who had been looking up at the guy for a while as if they were curious, bowed their heads slightly to say hello.

“You and the kids go into the restaurant first. I’ll go help this guy out and then go in.”

“Okay.”

The mother goes inside, holding the hands of her two children.

“Who did you invite?”

“Um… … Well, I just dialed the number saved on my phone.”

“okay?”

Honestly, I didn’t think much of it until then.

Who will come to this wedding hall?

“It’s been a while since I’ve seen you, CEO Han Yu-jin.”

An old man dressed in a stylish traditional Korean dress approached us, leading an attendant.

“… … .”

“Huh? Why is your reaction like that?”

“… … No. It’s been a while, Chairman.”

The person standing in front of me is SC Chairman Choi Ho-yeol.

“Please take good care of me today!”

“Trust only me!”

Chairman Choi Ho-yeol entered the restaurant, laughing heartily.

“You… … asked Chairman Choi Ho-yeol to officiate the wedding?”

“uh.”

“What exactly did you say?”

“Well, I didn’t say anything. I just got married this time. Could you please give the wedding speech? That’s what I said.”

“And then?”

“He said he would do it willingly.”

“… … .”

“why?”

“no.”

And not long after.

“Congratulations on your wedding, Vice President.”

“Are you here, Mr. Chairman?”

“The suit suits you well.”

“The face is what completes fashion.”

Even at a pointless joke, the other person laughed brightly.

“It’s been a while, CEO Han Yu-jin.”

“… … Aren’t you busy? I saw the news yesterday that you went to the US on a business trip.”

“I’m stopping by Korea for a bit on a private jet. After the wedding, I’ll be heading back to the US.”

Ilseong’s Chairman Ko Jae-young answered with a gentle smile.

“Chairman Choi Ho-yeol is also here.”

“Is that so? I should go and say hello. Vice President, I sincerely congratulate you on your wedding.”

Chairman Ko Jae-young, who had finished his greetings, also entered the ceremony hall.

It seems like he recognized the faces of the two conglomerate chairmen.

The people watching nearby started to murmur.

“… … Taekang-ah.”

“why?”

“Hey, let me look at your phone for a minute.”

“Ah, okay, just a minute… … .”

I eventually snatched the phone from the guy’s hands and looked through the saved contact numbers.

“You, did you send it to everyone here?”

“Oh. I was like, ‘Oh no,’ after I sent them off. But they’re all so busy, I don’t think they’d come here.”

however.

What I had been hoping for actually happened.

“Congratulations on your wedding!”

“Congratulations, buddy! You’re finally an adult.”

“I brought a plate, but if I break it here, I’ll be in big trouble.”

Norwegian Prime Minister Johan Valerheu.

Crown Prince Lucas and his wife.

Even German Foreign Minister Schulz.

I attended every single one of his weddings.

“… … You mustn’t mention in front of those people that you invited them by mistake.”

“Okay. But, Secretary Schultz, why did you bring that plate? Is it a gift?”

“At German weddings, there is a custom of breaking the plates brought by the invitees in front of the bride and groom.”

“No, what is that… … .”

The guy looked dumbfounded.

“You invited me.”

“… … .”

“I think I’m almost done greeting the guests. I’m going to go now.”

“Hey! Where are you going? The restaurant is over there.”

“Let me see Hyejin for a moment.”

I headed to the bride’s waiting room.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

“Come in.”

I opened the door slowly and went in.

“Mr. Eugene!”

Hyejin, who was chatting with a woman who seemed to be her friend, greeted me warmly.

“Can you step aside for a moment?”

“okay.”

“CEO Han Yu-jin, I’m your fan!”

“Can I have your autograph later?”

Her friends went outside and played a prank on me.

“The kids are a little mischievous, aren’t they?”

“No. Most of your friends seem to have bright personalities like Hyejin. But more than that, the dress today really suits you.”

A pure white dress.

After getting ready for her wedding, she was more beautiful than anyone else who came to the wedding hall today.

“Really?”

“Yes. It seems a bit of a waste for Taekang… … It’s not too late. Run away quickly.”

At my joke, Hyejin covered her mouth with her hand and laughed lightly.

“Thank you, Eugene. I feel like I always get help.”

no.

Rather, I am more grateful.

Looking at Hyejin’s bright smile, I could tell.

The dark future I saw in my dream a few days ago has disappeared into the past.

forever.

so.

“I hope you and Taekang live happily ever after.”

“That’s what I’m going to do.”

“I feel like I’ve taken up too much of the bride’s time. I’ll take my leave now.”

After finishing the greetings, I came out of the bride’s waiting room.

“It’s a surprise.”

“Why are you coming out of there?”

“What’s the surprise? I told you this before. At least make a surprised expression and tell that story.”

Ha-eun was staring at me blankly.

“I just came out after talking to Hyejin for a bit. What about you?”

“Me? I also wanted to go see Hyejin’s face for a bit before going into the wedding hall. This is good timing, let’s go in together. It’s still a little awkward to talk to Hyejin alone.”

“… … I just came out saying hello?”

“So what? You’re not going?”

Ha-eun glared and raised her small fist.

“Okay, I got it.”

Eventually, Ha-eun and I went into the bridal waiting room again.

“Send again, Eugene.”

“… … That’s right. I didn’t know I would meet Hyejin again so soon.”

She giggled slightly as she watched me cupping my face.

“You are so beautiful today.”

“No. Ha-eun is more… … .”

… … If it was going to be like this, then why did you ask me to come with you?

While standing awkwardly in a corner, like a sack of barley that had been placed there.

Ha-eun and Hye-jin held hands and chatted for a long time, as if they were real sisters who had not seen each other for a long time.

By the time my legs started to feel so numb, I was able to escape from the bridal waiting room.

Without realizing it, I let out a deep sigh!

“Why are you sighing on such a nice day?”

“Yeah. Why am I sighing?”

childhood.

I couldn’t understand why my father had such a troubled expression on his face when my mother suggested that we go shopping at the market together.

I think I understand that feeling a little today.

“Hyejin is pretty.”

“You are the main character today.”

“yes.”

“And you’re pretty too.”

“… … .”

For a moment, Ha-eun stopped walking.

From a white blouse to a neat women’s suit and even light, understated makeup.

“Your clothes suit you well.”

“……what.”

somehow.

Ha-eun’s steps were a little faster than usual.

* * *

“groom.”

“yes!”

“Do you swear to love and cherish your wife for the rest of your life?”

“yes!”

“how?”

“yes?”

“Who can’t just talk big? You have to show it with action.”

The guy who had a bewildered expression for a moment, not understanding what Chairman Choi Ho-yeol was saying, let out a small exclamation of “Ah!” as if he realized something.

“That’s right! Actions matter!”

“Does the bride agree to this?”

“……yes.”

Hyejin’s face, with her head bowed, turned bright red as if it would burst at any moment.

“Then what are you doing? You can’t show it with your actions. There are so many busy people here.”

“you’re right!”

Taekang, who had been shouting bravely, lowered his head slightly.

Hyejin also felt embarrassed and closed her eyes slightly.

After such a short kiss.

“Everyone! I’m getting married!”

The guy yelled at the wedding hall to get out.

“be happy!”

“Congratulations!”

Somehow, I couldn’t help but chuckle at his guy-like behavior.

After finishing the meeting, return to your original seat.

It’s like seeing a wedding for the first time since I was born.

The two children, Eun-su and Natasha, were focused and couldn’t take their eyes off the bride and groom.

I was stroking her head because she looked so cute, and Ha-eun, who was clapping, tapped my arm.

“why?”

“Don’t be too sad while Taekang is away on his honeymoon.”

Ha-eun made a mischievous face.

“… … What the hell is he talking about. It feels so good not having to see that lump of luggage for two weeks.”

“Or maybe it’s fortunate.”

I shook my head as I watched Ha-eun keep snoring.

* * *

Perhaps unlike the unfortunate appearances of other time periods.

Even while Taekang and Hyejin went on their honeymoon to Greece with happy faces.

Research on burn research continued as usual.

“Try increasing the ratio of RTK (Receptor tyrosine kinase) a little more.”

-All right.

I stared intently at the monitor while stroking my chin, where a beard was starting to grow little by little.

– Cellular resilience of the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue has increased 176.8 times compared to before.

Listening to Bly’s words, I clenched my fist.

There hasn’t been much progress in research in recent days.

The idea is to maximize cell regeneration by greatly stimulating some of the specific heparin complexes of FGF.

Running a simulation with Blito showed that while it was true that recovery power increased, it wasn’t enough to heal burns.

While taking a moment to cool down my head, which was burning hot from the series of failures.

For some reason, Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) kept catching my eye.

It is true that EGF also plays an important role in skin regeneration.

Because the scope was limited to the epidermis, it was out of my interest.

‘If you attach a supercar engine to a regular car, will that regular car really perform as well as a supercar?’

Suddenly, a thought crossed my mind.

The human body is made up of a whopping 36 trillion cells.

Each cell does not exist independently, but is very organically intertwined.

This alone won’t do.

I went back to the beginning and checked the possibilities one by one from the beginning.

At first, there were no significant results.

We attempted to increase regenerative power with RTK, a ligand of EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor), but we could only expect a regenerative power that would slightly improve the skin.

Perhaps an expected result.

But I didn’t give up there and continued my research.

We discovered that the moment when ErbB1 (HER2), one of the receptors of EGFR, and KGF and FGF-22, among the happyrin complexes of FGF, reach a certain level of activation, the regenerative power of skin cells increases explosively.

Enough to restore the epidermis, dermis, and even the subcutaneous tissue.

However, there was one side effect to this.

Because the wound was treated solely with the skin’s regenerative power, without any inflow of nutrients from the outside, an unimaginable amount of energy was required.

Patients who received the procedure lost several kilograms of weight in a short period of time.

How do I do this?
