He became Park Jeong-ui’s nephew. – (266)
[Here’s the latest news. Today, the prosecution dissolved the Youth Committee of the Liberty Peace Party on charges of instigating a rebellion and arrested 67 members of the party. Additional members of the National Assembly who have been proven guilty are expected to be arrested soon, so the Liberty Peace Party has effectively entered the process of dissolution.]
“Phew~.”
This is Daedeok-gun,
An old man sighed repeatedly as he watched the news on TV.
The identity is former Dong-A Ilbo president Park Sang-ui.
Although he has a grand reputation as the father of the head of state and the older brother of Park Jeong-ui, an advisor to the Liberty Peace Party, he himself has little to do with politics.
Even now, what good would it be for an old man with not much time left to step forward and spend his old age peacefully in a quiet place?
When I close my eyelids and open them, I just live each day with a grateful heart, but lately, I’ve been scared to open my eyelids.
Members of the Liberty Peace Party are being arrested on charges of sedition. Will my younger brother be safe?
More than anything, my anxiety grew because my younger brother was taken to the Central Intelligence Agency on charges of sedition.
‘This time, it might not be safe.’
Park Sang-ui looked back on the conflict that had occurred between his son and his younger brother.
The political life of my younger brother, who has many merits but also excessive merits.
It could be said that he created a faction privately.
However, using factions to shake up the political scene is a separate issue. His younger brother was ousted 13 years ago on charges of selling state-owned real estate to raise 41 billion won in political funds.
After that, he fell from grace again for illegally injecting public funds into the Daewoo Group, and this time he attacked the National Assembly in an attempt to abolish the retirement age for politicians.
If I were the head of state, would I just leave this kind of person alone?
Still, that bastard’s bloodline took root in my heart.
‘Sanggeun, don’t kill me. But he’s your uncle, isn’t he?’
But I was embarrassed to say this in front of my son.
How much favors has the son given to his younger brother in the meantime? Even if we only consider the crimes listed above, it is not something that can end with just deportation from Korea.
Knowing that it was a privilege to be alive even after committing such a sin, he could not dare to say the word ‘mercy’ in front of his son.
Still, it is the older brother’s wish that his younger brother will come back alive.
After a while, the long-awaited news arrived.
A suspicious man came to my house, introduced himself as an agent of the Central Intelligence Agency, and continued his explanation with a stern expression.
“Mr. Park Jeong-ui was sent to the United States.”
“America? What are you talking about? America all of a sudden?”
“It is as I said. I can’t say any more.”
“Hey… Hey, let’s talk honestly. What happened to my brother?”
“I’m sorry. I can’t tell you any more. It’s the Lord’s orders.”
The old man’s heart sank.
Has my son’s patience, which had been maintained tightly, finally snapped?
I could understand it, but it was still hard for me to accept the cruel fantasy that my son might have hurt his uncle.
Park Sang-ui urgently called a family meeting to discuss countermeasures.
“They say he was sent to the US, but he might still be alive. If we submit a petition, Sang-geun might change his mind.”
“Honey, this isn’t something we can solve by interfering. There’s no way Sang-geun would kill his own uncle. Let’s just watch and see. This time, too, he’ll be released quietly.”
“No, this time something is not normal. I want to go to the Daedeok County official residence. If I go and talk, the knot that was tied might be untied.”
But no one was able to step forward recklessly.
Even if they are family, the head of state is a different class of being, and this is not something that can be resolved through a family meeting. Are you going to break the rule of law and bring a criminal out of prison just because your family is in danger?
If we look at it that way, why did the young politicians who were arrested this time have to die?
They just stormed the National Assembly as ordered by Park Jeong’s advisor, cutting off the tail and leaving the head alone? Is that right?
Park Jae-ok, who had been observing the situation, opened his mouth.
“Uncle, I don’t want to spit on Sanggeun’s brother for what he’s doing.”
“Jae-ok, what are you talking about? Your father might die.”
“Did Sang-geun ever hurt someone out of personal feelings? If you think about it, Dad has been acting too wildly while relying on the authority of the enemy. No matter what kind of punishment is given, Dad has nothing to say. I’m the same.”
“Jae… Jaeok…”
Park Sang-ui was in despair.
Is it because my younger sibling has been doing family politics that I hear such things from my children?
My sister-in-law, who was trying hard to avoid eye contact, also reacted coldly.
“I’ve told you several times before. If you don’t cure your political disease, I won’t be able to live my life. Where in the world is there a person who would attack the National Assembly to abolish the retirement age for politicians? Isn’t that like stabbing your own nephew in the back?”
“Sister-in-law… I know that too, but… .”
“I’m sorry, Grandfather. I have no shame in asking you to save my husband. Who is to blame for the fact that these kids have decent jobs? You’ve done everything you could. It was my husband who betrayed that kindness.”
Park Sang-ui looked at his nephews in front of him.
One (Park Jae-ok) is the executive director of Daehan Transportation, and the other (Park Myeong-ui) also has a life with a guaranteed path to success.
Daehan Transportation is a company where just getting a job guarantees you a middle-class or higher life. If your children get jobs at such a company, it is something for which you should be thankful as a father.
But you were not satisfied and moved the political party to attack the National Assembly?
How should I defend myself?
Park Sang-ui had nothing more to say in response to his family’s cold attitude.
I understood in my head that my younger brother, who had made a mistake in politics, had to take responsibility for it, but I could not overcome my mental illness and ended up lying down.

“Father, how are you feeling?”
“How is it… It’s time to die now… .”
“I think you’re okay, since you’re talking strangely.”
This is a hospital in Daedeok-gun.
I came to visit my father who was lying in bed.
There is a hint as to why my father collapsed, but I pretend not to know until the end. However, even that acting was useless in the face of a fastball.
“Sanggeun… Can I ask you one thing, Dad?”
“Yes, go ahead.”
“Did you really send your uncle to America?”
“Yes, I don’t want to kill him, but I also don’t want to leave him alone… I’m sorry. Do you have any more questions?”
“… No, then that’s fine.”
Father closed his eyes tightly.
I saw something flowing out of the corner of his eye, but what could I say in this situation?
When my father said this, it meant he was giving me an indulgence, but that didn’t mean I felt at ease.
Now that I have asked for my father’s forgiveness, I must meet other people. I came face to face with my aunt and her children.
Will these people consider me, who killed their father and husband, as family?
I’ve long since given up on those expectations, but I still feel I need to tell the truth, so I came here.
“Your Majesty, why are you here?”
“I need to apologize to you for something. You know I sent you to America, Uncle, right?”
“Yeah… what…”
“I’ll tell you clearly. Uncle… you went to America, but you won’t come back. And this decision was made under my direction. If you want to blame me, blame me. I won’t make any cowardly excuses like I had no choice.”
My aunt didn’t say anything.
Do they understand me or is it because I can’t say anything in front of those in power? My brothers seemed to think so too, but I asked for their forgiveness.
“Jae-ok, I’m sorry. As a family, I did things to you that I shouldn’t have done.”
“No, oppa, I know how well you took care of your family, it’s your father who stabbed you in the back who is bad.”
“I won’t say thank you, because I have sinned against you. Even if you resent me for this later, I will accept it.”
After finishing my confession, I returned to the Daedeok County official residence.
It’s hypocritical of a man who has killed so many people to be tormented by the guilt of killing his own family.
I pretended like nothing happened, but then I heard some unpleasant news.
When Director Kim Hak-young of the Central Intelligence Agency came to my office and reported to me, I was so shocked that I threw down the documents I was holding.
“Your Majesty, as you instructed, former Prime Minister Park Jeong-ui was sent to the United States.”
“Thank you for your hard work. How did you clean up after yourself?”
“That… I wasn’t able to clean up the mess.”
“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“I’m sorry, Your Majesty, I disobeyed your orders.”
Chief Kim Hak-young’s testimony was roughly as follows.
I clearly gave the order to kill my uncle and left the aftermath to the KCIA. However, Kim Hak-young did not kill my uncle, but only threatened him and moved his body to a remote island in the United States.
Why did you do something I didn’t ask you to do?
I was momentarily angry, but I continued the conversation.
“Why did you do that?”
“I just tried to understand your heart.”
“If you had understood my feelings, you should have killed that man. Do you also feel burdened by killing the relative of the head of state?”
“No. You know very well that I have a grudge against Mr. Park Jeong-ui. He insulted me every time and called me a traitor. I also wanted to kill him this time, but I couldn’t do it because I thought about your feelings. You might regret this choice later.”
It was a stinging moment.
When I stood in front of my brothers, I felt like a sinner, and honestly, I still feel uneasy.
Kim Hak-young must have noticed that, after all, how could someone who’s been my friend for 40 years not know what’s on my mind?
Still, it was difficult to turn a blind eye to disobeying orders.
“I will suspend you from your duties, so stay in quarantine until I call you back.”
“Yes, sir.”
Left alone in the office, I gathered my thoughts.
I should send someone again right now to make sure it’s taken care of, but if it’s true that my uncle went to America, sending someone is a bit awkward.
Korean Agent Commits Murder in America?
There is no need to kill him if he is truly imprisoned in a place from which he can never return, as this could be a problem caused by diplomatic friction.
But if he survives and exerts influence on Korean politics, it will be difficult, so before that happens, I cut off all of my uncle’s hands and feet.
All Liberty Peace Party members involved in this National Assembly attack incident were sentenced to death or life imprisonment, and the party was disbanded.
But I still feel uneasy, so I sent someone to the US.
This time he gave clear instructions.
“If you leave the designated location, you can be shot.”
“Aren’t you going to lock them up again?”
“No need, I’ll make sure to clean up after myself.”
“Ah… Okay, I understand.”
This is really the last warmth,
Next time my uncle causes trouble, I plan to pull the trigger with my own hands.
How long should I treat you like family?
The missing person record on the resident registration has also been changed to death, so now my uncle is officially a person who does not exist in this world.
Since he is a non-existent human, I can deal with him at any time.
The Central Intelligence Agency agents also took that point to heart.
Since they spared the life of a man whom the head of state had ordered to be killed, if a problem arose later, the KCIA would also have to take responsibility. Since it was an issue that affected their livelihood, they maintained a strict surveillance system.
