Jungas spraying WD-40 to erase the rustand shook his head
'I thought she would be happy, but she only got worried'
When he explained to her briefly about beco she said to hi scammed
It had only been a week since he had had trouble finding a place of employas suddenly e into a nice suit
'And it's difficult to explain that I was lucky'
Because of it, he couldn't find it in himself to tell her that his first paycheck would total alht be able to accept this news easily, but a mother was so but worry
He had only taken pills that increased his senses; it wasn't like he hie, he couldn't possibly survive any regular standardized test
'Chana too, I don't have anyone I can talk to about this'
Jungwu let out a sigh
Jungwu decided to defer explanation to everyone, including Soochan, until after the contract period was over He refocused his attention on lubricating the gateway
Soon,
Jungwu opened and closed the gate a few tihbors, he decided that it was enough and stopped
'Where was the paint again?'
He searched in the corner of the yard for the can of green-colored paint he had bought long ago Of course it would be a if he could use Yujin Che on a front gate was the very definition of overkill
”Jungchan! Get out here and paint!”
He called for his younger brother
Jungiped away the grease fro the paint roller when his cell phone began to ring The caller ID showed Boyoung's na now?' and answered the call
”hello?”
– Jungwu-ssi?
”Huh?”
Perhaps because his response was strange, he could hear a startled voice on the other end
– Ah, did I call the wrong number?
”I awu-han, but who are you?”
– This is Boyoung Eh? Did you not save ood at Chemistry
”Why are you dissing knowledge of Chemistry like this?”
The reason Jungas surprised was because she had not called him 'Parachutter-ssi' for whatever reason
– Please wait, I' Mart' is at, which direction is it to your house?
”Ah you're at Ilht towards…”
Jungwu stopped
”What did you say?”
– It's a delivery
Like a dark o resurfaced
Roughly 30 seconds later, a taxi stopped before the front gates Jungwu's expression went blank when he saw Boyoung exit the taxi, struggling to pull an aluminum bin out of the back seats
”Could you help please? This is quite heavy”
Jungwumaterial
”You didn't have to co this”
”Well we should help each other out We work for the same Laboratory after all”
Boyoung gave a brilliant s co jeans instead of work clothes e kid
Jungwu shook his head, detecting the overly energetic charisma from her
'I feel like she's planning soht be'
Jungwu put down the coatingto check on Boyoung who had yet to stop her sunny grin
”What is it that you want, pressuring me like this?”
”Pressure? Non non Oh ~ so this is where Jungwu-ssi lives, eh?”
Boyoung tiptoed to try and see beyond the wall, but she was of such swu's shoulders Even so, Jungwu stood before her to stop her fro to peek into his house
”Don't dodge the issue, tell me what it is”
Boyoung gave hi for what it was about
”Iin particular It's just, I reckoned that Hoobaeniht as well…”
”I see I did not realize that you were such a kind-hearted Sunbaenim”
”Right? Professor Chun recognized my benevolence early on…”
”Thank you for your thoughts Sunbaenim, see you tomorrow at the lab”
When Jungwu ended the conversation in a way that was as s water and quickly turned his back to her, her cheeks puffed up in unhappiness
”Cheapskate How can you be so cold? I ht if I went so far as to show such kindness, we ht be able to have a conversation over coffee I couldn't sleep in theover some stuff, and decided to come over”
Jungwu couldn't help but break into a grin when he heard her speech full of complaints Whatever she wanted to talk to him about was most likely related to Chemistry
'Someone I can speak to…'
Jungwu turned back again and asked,
”Didn't Sunbaeni to buy coffee? As opposed to a meal”
”Excuse me?”
”Well, since you've come to my town I'll pay”
Boyoung's expression brightened up again
”But what did you want to talk about on a weekend anyway? If it's about Professor Chun, I refuse”
”I have no intention of asking fro to talk about it It's actually related to an article that I' about it”
”Well, if it's that Please wait just a bit I'll paint this quickly”
Clatter clack
Meanwhile, the gates opened and Jungchan walked out wearing a tracksuit as he yawned
”Where is the paint br…”
Jungchan couldn't contain his surprise when he noticed Boyoung standing in front of the house
”You grab the roller instead of the brush”
”Uh? Uhh??”
Jungwu laughed while watching his brother wordlessly and repeatedly look back and forth between Boyoung and himself
Boyoung was objectively beautiful Her cute facial features were naturally eye-catching
Boyoung wu and asked,
”And who is he?”
”He is h he looks like a h school”
”Wow”
Boyoung's jaws dropped while staring at Jungchan
”Are you really that shocked by the fact that he looks older than he actually is?”
”I'm just envious of people who look mature”
Jungwu glanced at the lady who couldn't escape the appearance of early 20s before addressing his still-stunned brother
”Chana, greet her Company Sunbaenim”
”Company? You mean that place you part-time at?”
”No, I explained thisI intern there, not work part-time”
Boyoung who excelled in intrapersonal relationshi+ps waved 'hello' at hi with ”Ah, hello” before suddenly turning when he recalled Jungords
”Su, Sunbae?!”
”Why are you surprised? Her age is close totime, let's paint”
The gate was small and it took only 5 minutes to paint the whole door
Boyoung wordlessly watched the two brothers work together in repairing the gatehile sitting on the steps to the house
Jungwu opened the bin containing coating material
”Hyung, what is this?”
”Quasicrystal coatingSunbae over there developed”
Jungchan turned to look at her
Boyoung ain and irinned and returned to looking at her cellphone
”So what does this do?”
”Do you want ht be difficult for a liberal arts major like you”
”Hey, I get good grades”
Jungwu nodded as if to say 'right, right' and began to speak
”Soular molecular structural pattern Those are called crystalloids Then there is stuff like glass and plastic molecules which have fairly randomly arrayed molecules; they are called Amorphous solids A Quasicrystal lies soories and is special because it exhibits all the characteristics of both…”
Jungas able to explain without pausing He continued to speak without a break for a wholethe house with the coating material
”Hyung”
”Hmm?”
”Are you really our Hyung?”
Jungchan was staring in shock at Jungas able to smoothly explain the fundamental theory behind a material he had never seen before in his life Then he realized so and seemed to flinch
”Now that I think of it, Hyung, you seemed like you've been possessed for the last few days”
”I have been possessed By Chemistry”
Jungwu shrugged his shoulders Jungchan was shocked at his reaction and asked,
”Hyung… are you in a pyramid scheme?”
”What are you saying? Aren't you supposed to be iht now?”
”How much did you buy this for? And the Sunbae Noona over there is also doing that, right? Working as door-to-door salesmen”
Jungwu gripped his brush tightly when he heard such unreasonable
”What are you saying?”
”But it's like that! Suddenly wearing a suit Co what you were up to”
”I already told you that I a at KG Chemicals, did I not? You think a h to dabble in pyramid schemes?”
”Anyway don't do it The e on mom's restaurant all went to you If you cause problems now before you even pay that off…”
”Shut your stupid mouth!”
