Chapter 8 (1/2)

He would not have a way of running Sunyang according to the 20-year-old grandson’s thought. However, his actual reason for asking was to see how swiftly and firmly Young-jun would say his own thought, not what he would say.

Young-jun was showing signs of nervousness, and got compared with the clever 10-year-old cousin.

“All right then, you can leave,” the grandfather said.

As Young-jun left the study, lowering his head, he sensed he didn’t score.

The grandfather regarded the rediscovery of his 10-year-old grandson as his birthday gift, and had a mixed feeling of joy and disappointment.

Of all the grandsons, the youngest?

I could not have been happier if he were the eldest, he thought to himself.

After much thought, he made up his mind.

That he would train his youngest grandson.

Yun-ki was summoned.

He stepped into the study nervously, with a sour look on his face.

The grandfather grew sullen as soon as his eyes met Yun-ki’s, a wrinkle forming across his forehead.

“How have you been?” he asked.

He was given a lukewarm answer, and was unhappy with it.

“You can do better than that!” his voice rose, suddenly angry.

Yun-ki wondered what his father was really saying, giving him a baffled look.

For which the grandfather felt a surge of anger, but then thinking of the youngest grandson, suppressed it.

“Tell me what you want to do,” he said.

“You always don’t want me to do what I want to do, father,”

“To take off women’s clothes?”

“I’m not making a p.o.r.n movie,”

The grandfather let out a long sigh, then said, “Knock it off. I’m not talking about you, anyway,” he went on, “How are their studies going? Are Sang-jun and Do-jun doing well at school?”

“I’m not sure. I never checked their grades. But would always check if they were growing healthy,”

Yun-ki didn’t seem to have noticed his youngest son’s smartness yet, which made him more enraged. Deplorable.

“I will send two tutors to teach them tomorrow. English and the other subject,”

“I don’t think they need tutors yet…”

“Do as you are told,” the grandfather said, then took a step back.

“All right then, if Sang-jun and Do-jun do not like them, then I will not say another word,”

He only had Do-jun in his head.

If I’m right, then Do-jun will like the tutors as he said he would do well for a year, he thought to himself,

He seemed to pay attention to Yun-ki’s sons, which was unfamiliar to Yun-ki, who then reluctantly said yes.

“Oh and tell me if there is anything else I can do for them,” the grandfather said.

Even though Yun-ki opened his mouth to ask what intentions he would do this with, he couldn’t say anything as he didn’t want to talk to his father any longer.

He closed the door of the study behind him.

Yun-ki, my father kept quiet the whole entire trip back home.

My mother wanted to ask if something was wrong, but instead wound up being quiet as well.

As soon as we got home, the father had my brother and me seated on the sofa in the living room, then said.

“Do-jun,”

“Yes, father,”

“I don’t intend to say anymore about what you did to Kang-jun at the grandfather’s,”

“I’m sorry, father”

His face registered discomfort with me being courteous.

“Grandfather said, he would send tutors to teach you two. What would you two say?”
