Chapter 129: Chapter 2

“What is this?!”

Kanghyok tried not to curse.

Dolsok, the heavily bearded servant, was still staring at Kanghyok.

“Master… you'll get it in the neck if your Ladys.h.i.+p knows of this.”

“Are you talking to me now? Who are you? And where am I now?”

“Master, are you making fun of me again? What the heck is this anyway?”

Kanghyok held the thing that Dolsok pointed at.

It was a black bag that he desperately held onto while he was flying unconscious.

But… his clothes looked strange. “What is this? Why did I put on this clothing?”

“Because your Ladys.h.i.+p made it for you.”

“My Ladys.h.i.+p?”‘

“Oh my G.o.d! You are not supposed to joke now, sir. Let me go and see Oksok first.”

That stranger came out of the room.

“Ha…” Left alone in the small room, Kanghyok let out a sigh.

‘What the h.e.l.l happened to me?'

He quickly examined himself.

He was sitting on a blanket, dressed in white clothes. There was a small lamp and desk before him. The wall was plastered with white paper, but it was not what he used to see at the folk village.

‘What happened?'

With difficulty, Kanghyok recalled what happened to him before he lost consciousness.

‘Okay, I went to see the director… and met the chairman….'

But he couldn't recall what happened after that.

It looked like somebody cut off that portion of his memory.

‘What am I doing here?'

While he was agonizing over this for a moment, he heard someone yelling at him from outside.

“Where is Kanghyok?!”

“Well, I really don't…”

“Tell me honestly right now!” Obviously, the man outside was very upset.

The thing was, the target of his anger would most likely be Kanghyok himself.

Sure enough, the door was flung open. As it was opened so violently, even the hinge shook.

“You b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Are you still in bed when the sun is already high?!”

The man who was screaming at him was an old man with a nice mustache.

Looking at his face, he was a person whom Kanghyok was already familiar with. So, Kanghyok felt some disbelief. It can't be true that the guy was still alive.

He cremated the guy's body himself and spread his ashes into the river!

Kanghyok rubbed his eyes to double-check.

At his second look, the guy was still the same.

“Dad?”

“Dad? Seems like you're not yet awake.”

“Is it you, Dad? You pa.s.sed away last year. What's going on right now?”

“What? Huhuhu…”

That old man, Sungmun, laughed as if he went crazy. His nice mustache trembled.

‘Is he my real dad?'

The look of his smile was the same as that of his late father. Kanghyok felt as if he was enchanted by a ghost.

That old man was consumed with anger at that moment. “Are you asking for a whipping now, b.a.s.t.a.r.d?”

Then he rolled up his sleeves and picked the broom placed on the main floor.

Watching him become more enraged, Dolsok quickly stepped in and said, “Please calm down, my lord. He has been laid up with a fever for a while!”

“Let me go, man. Dolsok, let me go!”

“Oksok is also sick now. Are you going to let him get sick again?”

“Heavens! What should I do about him then?” Angry and gasping for breath, the old man put down the broom.

Helping him up, Dolsok said, “Let me take care of the young master.”

“You're having a hard time because of that stupid son of mine. When is the doctor coming?”

“He will soon be here.”

“Okay. I got it.” Shaking his head, that old man turned to leave.

“Good heavens, how can my only son be so lazy like that? He didn't even wash his face…”

Hearing him mumble, Kanghyok felt very uncomfortable. It was the first time he got rebuked by someone because he was always the top student in school before becoming a full professor right afterward.

‘If I'm dreaming now, this is really bad.'

Dolsok came up to him when he was watching the old man disappearing. Lowering his head, Dolsok said, “Master, please come with me. Your Lords.h.i.+p might become sick because of you.”
