Episode 312 The happiest thing in the world
After work, Dojun went to a new crab restaurant in Gangnam. When he opened the door and went in, the employee asked him.
“Welcome. How many people are there?”
“It will be reserved. Under Bang Se-ok.”
The employee looked at the reservation list and said.
“Confirmed. Come this way.”
Do-jun followed the employee to the room. When he opened the door and went in, Bang Se-ok was there.
Bang Se-ok, who saw Do-jun, jumped up from her seat, approached Do-jun, and grabbed his hand.
“Oh my! Mr. Hwang, welcome back.”
“I said I would be early, but you came first.”
“Of course I should come first. Thanks to Representative Hwang, our country’s prestige has been raised. Hahaha.”
The United States was able to bring ‘Kenneth Bae’ back to the United States through this visit to North Korea.
The American people were thrilled by the fact that the Americans who had been detained in North Korea were brought back, and President Obama’s approval rating went up.
Obama called Do-jun himself to thank him and tell him to let him know if he needed anything, but Do-jun simply said it was a “gift.”
“What have I done? It’s all thanks to Director Bang.”
“What are you talking about! Thanks to Representative Hwang, do you know how much the relationship between the United States and the government has improved? Do you know how passionately I told the new president that everything was thanks to Representative Hwang?”
Bang Se-ok said that with a big laugh, but Do-jun knew that wasn’t it.
‘You reported that everything went according to plan, right? And you asked to be allowed to continue as the director of the National Intelligence Service.’
This is something the Prime Minister personally contacted me about yesterday.
“Haha. I see. I’m embarrassed, but I will continue to trust Director Bang. Director, let’s have a drink.”
On the table were crabs cut into bite-size pieces. The two clinked their glasses and ate the crabs.
After a few drinks in a good mood, Bang Se-ok asked casually.
“But Mr. Hwang, what happened to that… file?”
Although it was important to improve relations with the United States and to preserve his own position, the most important thing to Bang Se-ok was the ‘file’.
Dojun took out a USB from his pocket.
“Here, I got it.”
That was when.
Dojun was very surprised inside, but he kept his smiling expression on.
‘What? You wanted to kill me the moment you saw this USB?’
The reason was obvious. It was something Dojun knew about this USB that made him feel uneasy.
‘Well, it’s hard to believe. Even if this is the only file, you’d think they’d have a copy of it.’
Do-jun wondered how Bang Se-ok, who had ‘murderous intent’, would act. The answer was simple.
Dojun released the copycat and checked the smartphone. As expected, the ‘recorder’ was working.
‘But did you only prepare one smartphone recording? You tried something similar last time and failed, right?’
Do-jun, who was suspicious, ordered Copycat again.
‘Copycat, search this whole room.’
After a while, the CCTV with the copycat hidden was discovered.
Do-jun immediately gave the order to erase the memory of ‘CCTV’.
Do-jun, who had stopped the CCTV altogether, smiled and handed over the USB.
“Here it is.”
“Oh my! Thank you.”
Bang Se-ok was amazing. Even though she harbored murderous intent in her heart, she smiled brightly and bowed her head to receive the USB.
“I received it via courier from China. I checked and they said they couldn’t decrypt the password and they don’t have a copy.”
At those words, the message before my eyes changed.
Do-jun made up his mind as he looked at the classification of evil before his eyes.
‘You have murderous intent and even suspicion? I can’t just leave you alone.’
If he left Bang Se-ok alone, he felt that it would definitely harm him.
Do-jun had dinner with Bang Se-ok and then went for a walk nearby.
‘How do we deal with Bang Se-ok?’
The contents of the file came to Dojun’s mind.
It was true that there were no files left in North Korea. However, the file’s password had already been decrypted by Lee Un-cheol, and Do-jun had read its contents.
Dojun recalled one incident that he had never known about in his past life.
‘I thought there might be a hint about this case here. I was originally going to investigate a bit more and let you know… but it didn’t work out.’
Dojun immediately opened his phone and called someone.
– Hey, who is this? Isn’t this the busiest CEO in the world, Mr. Hwang?
A loud voice came from the receiver. It was Chairman Oh Geon-ju.
“Chairman, how have you been?”
– Haha. I’m always fine. But what brings you here at this hour? You’re a busy person. You’re not the type of person to call for no reason. Do you have something important to say?
Dojun answered cautiously.
“When do you have time? I have something to tell you about your family, Chairman.”
* * *
After hanging up the phone with Chairman Oh Geon-ju, Do-jun slowly walked along the Han River and returned home.
‘I’m sure. This is a problem that Chairman Oh needs to solve, not me.’
Perhaps because the weather had gotten better, there were a lot of people out on the Han River. Among them were many families with their children.
‘It looks good.’
Thinking back, it seemed like he had done something like that with his parents when he was young.
‘I should go see my parents this weekend.’
It was when Dojun had that kind of feeling. A notification sound appeared on ‘CAT LINE’.
[Representative Hwang, Hyunjin’s condition has improved a lot. Thank you. I will never forget this favor. I will definitely repay you.]
Dojun smiled at Lee Woon-chul’s message.
‘I’m glad your son’s condition has improved.’
Do-jun recalled his lost memories. There was no mention of the life or death of Lee Woon-chul’s son in his lost memories. However, Lee Woon-chul did not look happy when he appeared on TV. There was no mention of his family either.
‘He’s probably dead. It would have been nearly impossible to treat leukemia in North Korea. What on earth is my father thinking? What kind of thinking would have led him to stage a coup? And what decision will Chairman Oh Geon-ju make?’
Do-jun, who had no children, could not fully understand her feelings and was unable to make a decision. However, one thing was clear.
Dojun answered Lee Wooncheol.
[I just hope there are no sick children in the world. I hope that children are happy regardless of their country, ideology, or ideology.]
This was Dojun’s true heart.
I sent a reply and 10 minutes later I still didn’t get any more messages.
‘Huh? Why aren’t you answering? Did you go back? I think you read the message, but did the network go down while you were replying?’
The place where Lee Yun-cheol sent the message was on a boat on the Amnok River. Naturally, the network had to be unstable.
‘I guess something came up, we can talk about it next time.’
Do-jun, who didn’t know what decision Lee Yun-cheol had made, thought so. But then it happened.
Dojun was so surprised that he froze in place.
‘What? The rate of change in China’s IT has dropped to 15% compared to the previous generation? Why?’
Dojun didn’t understand. Up until now, China’s IT change rate compared to the previous life was -10%.
That happened because Do-jun changed the course of history called ‘Lehman Brothers’.
But this time, nothing was done that would affect China.
‘That’s strange. There’s no reason for the change of -5% compared to before? No. There is a reason, but I don’t know about it.’
Dojun wondered why. But at that moment, the message popped up again.
Do-jun also secretly shouted, “Hey!” People walking around the Han River glanced at Do-jun, but Do-jun didn’t notice and just looked straight ahead.
‘You’re giving me level up points?’
Currently, Dojun’s talents have almost stopped growing. They are all at a high level, so it is not easy to grow any further.
The ‘Level Up Point’ that came out during that time was something that could help develop talents that had been stagnant.
‘I’m crazy, I’m crazy! What talents do I level up? And what are the advanced talent level-up points?’
Dojun touched the message.
[Advanced Talent Level Up Points]
– You can level up talents of S+ or higher grade.
Dojun clenched his fist after seeing the message.
‘Crazy, crazy!’
The regular ‘Talent Level Up Points’ could only level up talents up to S-rank. However, an item that removed that restriction had now appeared.
‘With this, even Morning Star can level up. You can even use Link, who has an EXTRA-grade talent!’
Dojun trembled at the unexpectedly huge reward.
“Mom, that guy is weird.”
“Shh. He might be sick. Let’s just pass quietly.”
Only after hearing the conversation between a mother and daughter did Do-jun understand his situation.
Dojun, feeling embarrassed inside, started to run slowly.
While running, Dojun thought about where to invest the bonus points he earned. However, he couldn’t decide until he got home.
‘Oh. This decision paralysis is driving me crazy.’
As soon as they entered the house, Sally greeted Dojun with a bright smile.
“Are you coming now? What about dinner?”
“I ate. I told you I was going to meet Director Bang.”
“Then you must not have enjoyed the meal. Are you feeling okay?”
Dojun chuckled at Sally’s words.
“I’m okay. I took some digestive medicine on the way here! By the way, Sally, are you okay? You said you weren’t feeling well these days, right?”
Sally nodded at Dojun’s answer.
“…are you okay.”
“If it’s serious, you should definitely go to the hospital.”
“…huh.”
Dojun took off his suit and changed into comfortable clothes and came out.
‘Oh, by the way, should I ask Sally about leveling up my talents? I can’t tell you the truth, but I can ask her indirectly what would be good.’
Dojun thought it was a good idea and looked at Sally, but Sally had a slightly nervous expression.
“Sally, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
“That’s not it.”
“Your expression doesn’t look good.”
“I have something to say to Dojun.”
“What are you talking about? Do you have some kind of illness that you can’t talk about? That can’t be… … .”
Do-jun fed Sally the ‘Intermediate Cure-all’. As Do-jun expected, Sally should be healthier than ever.
Sally shook her head at Dojun’s words.
“It’s not because of health.”
“Then? Is there anyone who is bullying you?”
At Dojun’s words, Sally took a deep breath and handed over what she was holding to Dojun.
* * *
Dojun thought it was a toothbrush at first because it looked similar. But after a few seconds, he realized it wasn’t.
‘This is!’
Do-jun’s body froze as he realized what Sally had handed him. What he was holding in his hand was a ‘pregnancy test kit.’
Dojun looked at the center of the tester. There was a clear line drawn there, and a faint line drawn next to it. However, at first glance, it seemed as if there was no line, and it was unclear whether there was or not.
“Dojun. What do you think? There… the two lines look red?”
At Sally’s words, Dojun looked at the tester more closely. There seemed to be a faint red color there. However, it was so faint that it was difficult to judge.
Dojun looked at Sally. Her expression seemed to be one of earnest longing for something.
“Do… Jun?”
“… … ”
“Dojun?”
Only then did Dojun respond with a sense of shame.
“I think there’s some red in it.”
Sally held Dojun’s hand tightly.
“Really? I’m not the only one who sees it that way, right?”
“huh.”
Although he wasn’t sure, Dojun knew how much Sally wanted to get pregnant.
When Dojun said that, Sally answered with a gloomy expression.
“I think so too, but I’m not sure yet. The other line is so faint… … ”
Dojun hugged Sally tightly as she spoke with uncertainty.
“I might be pregnant.”
“…really?”
“huh.”
Dojun answered like that and thought about the real child.
‘Really? What if I’m pregnant? Sally and I have a baby? I’m going to be the father?’
In his lost memories, Dojun had no children.
Of course, since I had given Sally the ‘Intermediate Cure-all’, I had thought that she might have a child, but there was a world of difference between thinking about it and actually making it happen.
Dojun calmed his trembling body and put his ear to Sally’s stomach.
“Ugh. Dojun, we don’t know right now. And you have to go to an ob-gyn to find out if you’re really pregnant.”
“Sally, let’s go now.”
“It’s night now. Everything is closed.”
It was strange. The pregnancy test was still faint, so there was a high chance that I wasn’t pregnant. But my mind was getting anxious like crazy. It was the first time I’d been this anxious since I’d returned.
“When will the hospital open?”
“Don’t they open at 9?”
“Nine o’clock, nine o’clock!”
Dojun kept saying 9 o’clock and looked at his watch.
As he lay in bed, it was already past 1 a.m. But Do-jun couldn’t take his eyes off the clock.
“Dojun, sleep. You have to go to work tomorrow.”
“Company? I’m going to use my annual leave tomorrow.”
“Why? You want to go to the gynecologist with me? I can go there alone. Actually, I know that there’s a high chance that I’m not pregnant. But this is the first time I’ve seen something like this on a test.”
Dojun realized it only after hearing Sally’s words.
‘Sally has been testing it out. Maybe even since she got married.’
As he thought about Sally’s disappointment after taking the test, Dojun started to cry and hugged her.
“Don’t worry, I’m sure you’re pregnant. And if you’re not, that’s okay. Just keep doing it until you get there.”
Sally laughed at Dojun’s words.
“I want to attack you, but I’ll hold back today.”
At Sally’s words, Dojun kissed Sally on the lips.
“So don’t worry and sleep well.”
Dojun put Sally to sleep, but he couldn’t even sleep a wink.
Dojun went to the gynecologist with Sally at 8 a.m. the next morning. The examination didn’t take long.
Dojun’s heart was pounding.
‘Am I pregnant? Or not?’
All night long, Dojun searched about pregnancy. If one line was dark and the other was faint, it could be pregnancy or it could not be.
‘please!’
After about 30 minutes, the obstetrician and gynecologist called the two people in. A woman in her early 40s spoke to Do-jun and Sally.
