Episode 21: Golf? That’s Easy?

Who taught you?

Well……
I don’t know myself.

I can feel my athletic coordination is something else.
The muscle movements are no joke.

It’s lean, but I could sense the power of densely concentrated muscle.

When I swing the Golf Club, the force flows through with real authority.
It’s different from me back in school.

Back then I barely studied, let alone played sports—I was dead silent about anything else.

Even before military service, my fitness was a mess.

“With a driver like that, you’re semi-pro level.”
“Me?”
“Stop joking. Be honest with me. You took lessons from a pro, didn’t you?”
“……Yes.”

I just nodded quietly.

“Who is it? If they’ve got your fundamentals this solid…… I think I’d know them.”
“Yes, I’m sure you know them well.”
“Me?”

Ahn Hyeon-ju’s eyes widened in genuine surprise.
Do all beautiful people have eyes this big?

“Ahn Hyeon-ju. You’re quite remarkable.”
“What? Me? When did I ever give you a lesson……?”
“You just fixed my stance.”
“Ha…… Are you messing with me right now?”

She let out a sigh as if she couldn’t believe it.
It’s the truth though.

Even telling her the truth, Ahn Hyeon-ju doesn’t seem to understand.

I can barely believe it myself.
Suddenly I heard a voice asking about the other person’s willingness to have their Talent Acquisition transferred, and I just answered.

The unbelievable happened that instant.
I actually seemed to acquire her golf talent.

My body remembered stances I’d never experienced before.

The moment I gripped the driver, every posture and movement automatically output itself.

“Am I really a golf prodigy or something?”

I laughed to ease the awkward atmosphere.

This cheat buff from Grandmother.

“……Fine. At least your long game is pro-level. I’d have to measure your distance to be sure, but…….”

Ahn Hyeon-ju nodded repeatedly, convincing herself.

“Can I come by whenever I have free time?”

I want to seriously learn golf.
Not only the upper class but most people of social standing play golf as a fundamental skill.

It’s the same abroad.

Golf is essential for future business!
Ahn Hyeon-ju, who’ll soon reach the top of Korea.

Missing the chance to take lessons from such a person in the same space would be a huge loss.

“Yeah. Come whenever you’re free.”

Ahn Hyeon-ju agreed.
A gifted golfer right now catching her breath under the weight of the world’s injustice.

A young woman but with excellent character.

Such talent buried in obscurity is a loss to the nation.

“You should prepare for the LPGA Tour next year.”
“Tour?”
“Yes.”
“……I want to. But the world isn’t that easy.”

Her voice grew heavy immediately.
A dark shadow of pain crossed her beautiful face.

I know too.
The ugly side of this world.

Powerless ordinary people living with great losses under the tyranny of the wealthy, even into the distant future.

“I’ll sponsor you.”
“Sponsor? You?”
“Yes.”
“……Do you know who’s got me marked?”
“Shinyang Financial Group. Right?”

I casually mentioned what I knew.

“Oh, you knew?”
“There was a big rumor when you came to Cheong-hwa.”

Back then too, a few students had spread rumors that bordered on scandal.

Some kids were openly cruel about it.

They said she got cocky relying on her pretty face and crashed because of the Shinyang Group chairman.

It was none of my business back then.

The kids laughed and carelessly said things like “with nothing else, she’d have to sell her body” or worse.

“Yet you’d sponsor me anyway? What do your parents…… do?”

Ahn Hyeon-ju looked at me with mixed worry and anticipation.

“My grandfather runs a business.”
“Ah…… A business.”

A faint trace of disappointment flickered in her eyes.

“And…… I’m a Saebaeja.”
“Ah!”

At the word “Saebaeja,” Ahn Hyeon-ju’s eyes widened.

She let out a short exclamation and then pressed her lips shut.

As you know, at Cheong-hwa High School, a Saebaeja is untouchable.

Ahn Hyeon-ju would know that much.

“Don’t Saebaeja have sponsor qualifications?”
“……Tae-woong. To compete in the LPGA, you have to challenge the Symetra Tour or Q-School, which is the second tier. When you add overseas living expenses and caddy fees, it’s astronomical.”
“Would a billion won a year be enough?”
“1, a billion won?”
“Yes.”
“……Your grandfather’s business…….”
“Yes, Grandfather sells all sorts of things.”
“All sorts of things?”
“Well, oil and apartments, and all kinds of goods at the shopping mall.”
“……??”

She clearly didn’t grasp what I meant.

She’s focused solely on golf since her early twenties and isn’t worldly.

“Just wait a few months.”
“A few months?”
“Before summer comes, a path of flowers will open before you.”

I spoke as if declaring it.
Ahn stared at me with a bewildered expression.

“Are you some kind of fortuneteller?”
“A fortuneteller? What do you……”
“Sister! How can you say that so naturally?”

Ahn Hyeon-ju was teasing and joking with me.

The spring breeze whispered softly.

It blew pleasantly.
The fragrance of a mature woman mixed in with the gentle breeze.

A clear sky-blue aura wrapped around her.

Perfect!

I extended my hand toward her.
And then.

“Sister! Won’t you trust your little brother once?”
“…….”

Her dark eyes widened.
She looked directly into mine.

“Alright…… Then brother, how about you push this sister forward?”

She still seemed to take my offer as a joke, letting out a small laugh.

Ahn Hyeon-ju with her unusually slender, long fingers.

I gently squeezed her hand with genuine strength.

Would she feel my sincerity?
Her face flushed slightly, embarrassed.

Sister, did you know?
Today I really caught something big!!

* * *

“Man, get a lucky slap from her and you’d become rich easy? Hehe.”

After the golf lesson ended, I headed home.

In the past, at this hour I’d be locked in my room watching online lectures.

Thunk!

I sat with my legs crossed on a shabby plastic chair.

Evening of May 6th.

The Seoul sky seemed more beautiful than ever today.

The colorful sunset flickering through the Rooftop Room.

Click-clack.

“Thanks for the smartphone!”

On my way home, I bought the latest Galaxy S with cash.
Money should be spent wisely to avoid trouble.

“The speed is incredible.”

I chose unlimited data for the plan.

The latest phone and service combined into tremendous synergy.

On my smartphone, I converted today’s earnings into Tether stablecoin.
And then.

“Binance, fill your belly. I just deposited your allowance.”

I transferred it through an app to Binance.

A neat 490 million won.

I left 10 million won as spending money.

“Let’s blow this up!”

Luna Coin, which hasn’t collapsed yet.

It was showing a slight uptick instead.

“I’ll buy my friend a house too.”

For Ji-woong’s portion, I also bought Tether.
And immediately shorted it.

“Eat well and exit clean.”

I plan to grow Ji-woong’s account moderately.

Some force is shaking it, whoever they are.
From tomorrow, it’ll start draining bit by bit before crashing catastrophically.

The graph at that point came clearly into my mind.

“You’re my meal ticket. Hehehehe.”

Only a few days left until the massive crash.

I’m not a villain, but I keep laughing the same way.

Today was a rewarding day.

Different from the anxious and gloomy times of the past.

Back then, every day was hard and painful.

But coming back, I started cleaning up the school in just one day.

“If worrying could make worries disappear, there’d be no worries…… Back then I didn’t understand that.”

Those days when every hour was agony.

No matter how hard I struggled, nothing changed.

Pain grows the soul they say, but back then I just wanted to die.

Only after brushing death several times in the military did I find courage to live.

One thing I faintly understood was…….

Only what I’ve experienced firsthand is my truth!

After that, whenever I faced anything, I thought it through myself, decided, and acted boldly.

With courage and decisiveness!

That became the driving force behind submitting my resignation, and being able to break up coolly with the ex.

I did my best, but if I judged it was wrong, I never looked back.

“Make every moment count. First, I need to get my driver’s license.”

There’s so much to do.

“Regression…… It’s thrilling.”

I’m experiencing it directly, but no matter how much I think, it’s exhilarating.

A second life as a high schooler.

“School troubles…… shouldn’t be an issue for a while.”

After today, they probably won’t mess with me at school.

At least until my personal family circumstances are revealed.

I’ve put up a decent shield so things can stay quiet for now.

Perfect coverage isn’t possible, but I did what I could.

Deet-deet-dee-ree~♬

My smartphone rang.

“Dad…….”

The name of the person I’d tried so hard to forget now connected me again.

I can’t express this feeling in words.
