chapter 14
Episode 14
I’ll have to measure the exact one now, but it seemed to be 185 cm.
Compared to before, it has become 10 centimeters taller.
Now that I was satisfied with my height, it was good that I didn’t have to grow any further.
However, his body was showing little changes every day, so after a few days, his height might have grown to 190 cm.
I was worried that I would grow too tall now.
“Whoa, whoa, now I have to worry about my oversized kidney. I never thought this day would come.”
Now that I have confidence in my appearance, I even thought of flirting with a beauty.
But I soon gave up on that feeling.
I am immature because I have never properly dated a woman yet.
I could have met a bad woman like a flower snake or a kimchi girl.
After becoming more mature, I decided to give it a try.
Buaang!
A black Mercedes E-Class was driving on a quiet road.
Minjun was driving, but the navigation was set to Seongsan Ilchulbong.
The origin of the name of Seongsan Ilchulbong is that the name of the mountain is called Seongsanbong because the shape of the mountain resembles a castle.
At 182 meters tall, it wasn’t that tall.
It was formed by a volcanic body that exploded underwater about 5,000 years ago, which is rare among the many craters on Jeju Island.
Originally, it was a volcanic island, but I knew that it was connected to the mainland by sand and gravel piled up between the island and the land near Shinyang Beach.
Since it was not a package tour, there was no need to rush.
And if Minjun is alone among newlyweds or couples, he notices that too.
In that case, it would have been better to travel to Jeju Island by driving alone like this.
“Oh, the weather is really nice.”
We arrived at the bottom of Seongsan Ilchulbong.
I parked the car in the parking lot and got out.
“Hmm, that’s Seongsan Ilchulbong, right?”
It was the first time for Minjun to visit Jeju Island and the first time he had been to Seongsan Ilchulbong.
I’ve never had a proper tour.
“I know that Jeju Island has a lot of places to see and a lot of restaurants, so I’m going to enjoy it while looking around slowly. It was wise to choose Jeju Island for my first long-term trip.”
After receiving a parking permit, Min-jun walked out of the parking lot, bought a bottle of mineral water, and started climbing Seongsan Ilchulbong.
Although steep, the steps were well built, and many tourists were going up or down.
Minjun thought as he climbed alone.
He was treated worse than his stepfather or stepmother, and was ostracized by his four siblings.
It was so strange that I did my own research, but the real parents were right.
They weren’t half siblings either.
Still, strangely, doubts remain.
No matter how much they discriminated against them, they couldn’t discriminate against their own sons to this extent.
“Hmm, maybe I’ve been thinking wrong all this time. I’ll have to do a background check when I go back to Seoul.”
If I paid the money and asked an expert to investigate, he would definitely investigate and let me know.
In the past, it could have been because Min-jun himself did a rough investigation himself, so he couldn’t find it.
Otherwise, it was really weird.
“Before, there was no money on hand, but now there is a lot of it. If you put your mind to it, you can do anything. It’s good to do a proper background check.”
In the meantime, there were many strange things when I looked at the behavior of my parents and four siblings.
Why is Minjun discriminating against himself?
The breathing of the people going up around them became rough.
But it wasn’t Minjun.
My body changed and my condition was good, so I was not tired at all and was lively.
It was to the point where I could feel that my stamina had improved a lot.
He grinned as he stroked the silver metal bracelet that looked like a tennis wristband on his wrist.
The more I thought about it, the more I thought it was a truly precious and great treasure.
He bought a lucky lottery ticket with Watch Time and won first prize, which turned his life around.
This is great, but thanks to the function of the silver metal bracelet, which looks like a tennis wristband, I am very satisfied with the growth of my height and the nice muscular body and face that have undergone plastic surgery.
These were precious treasures found nowhere else in the world.
“Everything has come. It’s normal.”
We arrived at the top of Seongsan Ilchulbong.
The surrounding area is the sea and there is no high place, so the whole area is open and the view is good.
The scenery was so damn good.
Tourists were all taking pictures.
Minjun opened the lid of the bottled water he was holding in his hand and drank the bottled water.
At that time, a teenage girl who appeared to be a high school girl approached and said.
“Good-looking brother, please take a picture of us.”
“yes? great.”
I received a digital camera from a high school girl.
When four high school girls posed, they took two pictures in a row.
“Thank you.”
“you’re welcome.”
The surrounding scenery is good and everything is good, but the downside is that it is a bit windy and there are many tourists.
Other than that, it would have been nice to come up and have a look at it at least once.
“Brother, eat this.”
“yes? Oh thank you.”
I received a can of orange juice from a high school girl.
It may not be a big deal, but I was grateful because it was given for Minjun.
It was a small gesture of sincerity for taking the picture, but it made me feel better when I reciprocated with a gift like this.
Even though she was a teenage girl she didn’t know, she thought of Min-jun and gave her a small gift, but even though her parents and 4 siblings were family, there was never anything like this that I couldn’t remember.
“Umm, now that I think about it, we are family, but we are worse than others. It was a really good thing to end the relationship. If you do a background check, you’ll find out for sure.”
It’s a strange feeling, but it didn’t seem like they were real parents.
If you think of common sense, if you are a real parent, you won’t discriminate like this.
Minjun wasn’t a bad son who had accidents and ran around.
It was just that I was not good at studying and I didn’t have the ability.
Even if he was just an ordinary 25-year-old man, his parents and four siblings’ behavior was excessive.
Click click!
I took about 20 pictures with my smartphone to leave a great view of Seongsan Ilchulbong.
The self-camera even captured Min-jun himself.
There were women who spied on Minjun’s behavior.
Feeling the gaze of the women around him, Minjun felt a little pressured.
‘Um, are you paying attention? I have to go down.’
It seemed like it would get worse the longer I waited.
After taking a look at Seongsan Ilchulbong and its surroundings once more, we turned around and started to descend.
It was steep, so we had to go down carefully.
I thought it was coming down slowly, but it wasn’t.
It came down faster than it went up.
I threw the bottled water and canned orange juice I drank into the trash.
I went into the parking lot, paid the parking fee, opened the door of the black Mercedes E-Class and got in.
There were many tour buses in the parking lot.
“Hmm, I guess I’ll have a meal at a nearby restaurant and move on.”
I started the car and fastened my seat belt.
Boooooong!
It started smoothly and pulled out of the parking lot.
I entered the road and ran to a nearby restaurant.
Chapter 4 Travel to Jeju Island 1
Beep beep!
Minhyuk Park, who drank bottled water and put it down, muttered annoyedly.
“Min-joon, you bastard, when the hell are you coming back?”
After taking a week off from work, I was waiting this morning where I could see the entrance to Tower Vivaldi Apartment in Dogok-dong.
I found out that my third younger brother, Park Min-joon, was living in #4502 on the 45th floor of Tower Vivaldi Apartment in Dogok-dong.
I was surprised when I received a certified copy of the register and checked it.
The third younger brother, Park Min-joon, was the owner, and no mortgage was set up at all in the bank.
It meant paying all the money and buying it and moving in and living there.
I went into a real estate agency and checked the market price, and it was 4.5 billion won for an 84-pyeong apartment.
I also learned how well the interior is because I watched a video of an 84-pyeong apartment in another house that was on sale.
Common sense made no sense.
It was Minjun who lived in an 8 pyeong studio.
Tower Vivaldi Apartment in Dogok-dong, worth 4.5 billion won (84 pyong), was impossible even if it died and woke up.
Nevertheless, judging from the fact that he moved in, it was clear that he had won the first prize in the lucky lottery.
Otherwise, it was not explained.
In other ways, he paid 4.5 billion won to buy a Tower Vivaldi apartment in Dogok-dong, and he could not live there.
The problem was that he had to meet Minjun to find out what had happened.
If he had won the first prize in the lucky lottery, he would extort the money even by threatening him.
Life can be reversed at once, so I had to meet Minjun no matter what.
“hehehehe, he’s stupid and naive, so I’ll try to persuade him well and extort as much money as possible even by threatening him.”
The house was poor, so there was nowhere for money to come.
The only way to escape poverty at once was to extract money from Minjun.
After looking into it, if I won the first prize in the lucky lottery, it was about 50 billion won.
Even after taxes, it would be 30 billion won, so I could have lived without worrying about money for the rest of my life.
Considering those things, it was understandable that Min-jun had paid 4.5 billion won to buy and live in an 84-pyeong Tower Vivaldi apartment in Dogok-dong.
However, I was angry that I thoroughly hid it from my family and lived well by myself.
Tiriling!
When the melody sounded on the smartphone, I saw that it was Park Mi-ae, the eldest daughter.
“why?”
-Brother, what about Minjun?-
“I haven’t returned to the apartment yet.”
-what? still?-
“okay. I left three days ago and still haven’t returned.”
-Where the hell have you been?-
“I don’t know because I can’t contact you because I changed my smartphone.”
-So, are you still waiting in front of the apartment?-
“okay. You never know when he’ll show up, so we’ll have to wait and see.”
-I have to show up quickly, but even my brother is having a hard time.-
“I mean.”
-okay. Brother, please work harder.-
“okay. Don’t worry here.”
-Uh, okay.-
After ending the call, Park Min-hyeok sighed.
“Mi-ae is also greedy for money. But I am first.”
He thought that Min-jun’s money was his own.
He didn’t even realize that he was making a big mistake.
Meanwhile, Minjun was in a place called Seopjikoji.
It is a Jeju dialect meaning Cape Koji, and as the name suggests, it is a topography that protrudes in the shape of the tip of the nose.
In terms of location, it protrudes from the coast of Sinyang-ri, Seongsan-eup, Seogwipo-si.
The archipelago road connected to the coastal road was connected to the entrance.
“Hmm, the scenery is amazing, isn’t it?”
Out of curiosity, I did an internet search, and there were two views that ‘Seopji’ in Seopjikoji was derived from the meaning of a geographical area where a lot of talent is produced, and from Hyeopji, which means narrow land.
‘Koji’ is the Jeju word for cape or cape, which refers to a land that protrudes toward the sea.
According to the legend related to Seondolbawi on the southeast coast of Seopjikoji, the youngest son of the dragon king who saw a fairy bathing here begged the dragon king to marry her, and the dragon king promised to marry her after 100 days.
On the 100th day, the wind suddenly became strong and the waves were so high that the fairy could not come down from the sky.
Hearing from the Dragon King, ‘Heaven will not allow you to marry because of your lack of sincerity,’ the youngest son is said to have turned into a rock standing here in sorrow.
In Minjun’s opinion, it was an absurd legend.
“It’s a legend, so there’s no need to take it seriously. Just say yes and move on.”
Click click!
I took a picture of Seopjikoji with my smartphone.
Of course, I also took pictures of Minjun himself.
I took 20 pictures like that and walked towards the parking lot.
Wherever I go, there are many tourists because Jeju Island is a famous tourist destination.
I saw newlyweds, couples, and even foreigners, but it was a bit disappointing because Minjun was alone.
