He arrived at the grand gate, exuding majesty. It was a place that was always beautiful in any season, but the spectacular sight of plum blossoms blooming layer upon layer in spring was not something you could easily find anywhere else.
It was a place where everything had been preserved until three years ago when the height of the wall was raised and everything was replaced with a fence.
When Tae Beom entered the gate, a total of four doors opened automatically to match his steps. As the last door opened, a house staff member who came to meet him greeted him.
“Have you arrived, Vice President Ha?”
“Where’s the chairman?”
“He’s having a meal. Should I prepare a meal for you as well?”
“No need. Go do your work.”
“Yes, Vice President.”
In the old mansion, which fully embodied the atmosphere of a distinguished Joseon family, Tae Beom’s grandfather Chairman Ha Baek Seung, who founded Yoo Sun Aviation 50 years ago, lived.
Five o’clock in the morning. It was a meeting with the sleepless grandfather after five years.
Tae Beom adjusted his clothing and began to approach Chairman Ha Baek Seung, who was in the middle of a meal. The magnificence of the grand hall, held up by marble pillars, was imposing.
“Has Beom arrived?”
“Yes, he has.”
The iridescent motherofpearl decoration, thinly pasted into specific patterns with shells or abalone, was stunning. The lacquered furniture, supposedly lasting for a thousand years, had been carefully crafted by a craftsman, creating a shiny color. A neatly set breakfast table was laid over this lacquered table.
“Sit down. Let’s have a meal since you’re here.”
“No, thank you. I’m not hungry.”
“Really? Why don’t you feel like eating? A young lad should eat well.”
The resident chef was thinking of serving rice topped with mushrooms cooked in soy sauce, but upon hearing Chairman Ha Baek Seung’s claim of an upset stomach, hurriedly prepared codfish soup and water kimchi.
After a few bites of the fish soup, Chairman Ha Baek Seung gulped down the water kimchi served in a glossy white porcelain bowl.
“Ah, this is better than any digestif. Look at this, Yoon Ga. Bring me another bowl of this water kimchi.”
“Yes, Mr. Chairman.”
The Chairman, who hadn’t enjoyed the fish soup, pushed the bowl far away, then glanced at Tae Beom.
While Tae Beom, who had been told to sit but remained standing, sparing his words, the chairman opened his mouth.
“Beom, how long has it been since we last met?”
“It’s been five years.”
“Really? Has that much time already passed? It feels like we met just yesterday.”
The chairman, glancing over his glasses, seemed surprised.
Their greeting, after not seeing each other for five years, was unexpectedly sober, given they were a grandfather and grandson.
“Time is indeed heartless. It feels like yesterday when you, in your school uniform, came by and greeted me before going off to school. That’s right.”
During his speech, a bowl of water kimchi was placed on the table. The vibrant soup reflected the bright color of the fermented cabbage.
“Yoon Ga, the soup will be clearer if the cabbage is cut thicker.”
“Yes, Mr. Chairman. I’ll pass the message along.”
Tae Beom closed his eyes for a moment then opened them. Soon after, the sound of gulping down water kimchi was heard, followed by a small burping sound.
For the first time, Tae Beom and Chairman Ha Baek Seung’s gazes met. The chairman lifted his chin a bit and opened his mouth.
“Beom.”
“Yes.”
“But why did you come?”
Unconsciously, his teeth clenched together. Tae Beom closed his eyes slowly then opened them.
“I thought I should tell you that I’m considering an issue.”
“……”
“You left as if you were never going to see me again, grinding your teeth. What kind of wind brought you back here?” …5 years ago.
Tae Beom lost the woman he loved due to his grandfather’s fierce opposition.
“Whether you sharpened your claws to return, or you’ve come back after pulling all your claws out, you should tell me so that I know….”
“You seem to have forgotten that I’m part of Yu Sun Airlines too, grandfather.”
“So?”
“I have to find my place. I can’t just stand by and do nothing forever.”
As soon as Tae Beom spoke candidly without hesitation, Chairman Ha Baek Seung laughed heartily.
Finishing off the remaining radish kimchi soup, the chairman shook his back intermittently as he laughed.
“Do you know that 1.5 trillion won of government aid is expected to come in due to the euro shock?”
“I understand that it is still under evaluation.”
“That’s just news. I talked to the Chief Secretary of the Blue House a while ago, and he mentioned it’s almost a done deal.”
As soon as he put down the empty bowl, several employees rushed over to fill the water glass, cleared the dishes, and quickly placed down two sides of a pear topped with walnuts.
With a fork made from organic materials, Chairman Ha Baek Seung pressed a pear slice and opened his mouth.
