Chapter 95

There is a common saying that driving training is not something you do with your family.

For novice drivers, their vision is narrow and they have a hard time judging the size of the car, so most of them end up scratching their car a few times before they get the hang of it.

Especially on the road training, they sweat in their hands. Just like now.

Young-guk, try to stay in the middle lane as much as possible and always keep your foot on the brake. When there is an emergency, people tend to step on the pedal without knowing it, so if you are on the accelerator, you are in trouble. Keep your eyes on the far side. Its important to understand the traffic flow. You know what I mean, right?

Manager Lee Bong-chun is sitting in the passenger seat, gripping the assist handle tightly, feeling nervous.

There are many cars on the road. So he has to be careful of sudden accidents at any moment.

Not to mention the cars parked on the side of the road suddenly popping out, or bicycles appearing out of nowhere from the back roads.

Let alone Seoul, which is known for having the most traffic and congestion in the country.

When you align the car width with the lane, just think of the size of the car handle. If the car handle is inside the lane, its about right. By the way, Young-guk, didnt you get your license too fast? Im honestly worried.

As soon as he turned nineteen, he took the practical test, and right after the college entrance exam, he took the road test.

Young-guk had a simple reason for getting his license so quickly.

As he made his name known in various media, from dramas and movies to plays, now even if he wore a hat and glasses, there were more people who recognized him.

He couldnt call his manager every time he had a personal matter.

Dont worry about it.

As Young-guk started the car and changed gears, Manager Lee Bong-chuns neck swayed greatly.

The car was a van, so he was naturally worried. If he had his way, he would have written Novice! in large letters on the back of the car, but he decided to hold off for Young-guks sake.

Huh?

But to his surprise, the ride was comfortable.

Young-guks expression looked relaxed, as if he had been driving for a long time.

He even had enough composure to have a conversation on the busy road.Vissit novelbin(.)com for new novels

Hyung, you said you were going to your hometown for this vacation, right? Your parents work at Jagalchi, right? Do they know that you are my manager?

Ugh, they still dont believe that Im your manager. They think Im still struggling to make a living after moving to Seoul. Every time I visit them, they tell me to give up my Seoul life and come back to Jagalchi and catch eels again. Thats why I didnt go down for a while. But this time, its my grandmothers birthday, so Im going to go down and come back.

Your maternal grandmother?

No, my paternal grandmother. My maternal grandmother passed away and my paternal grandmother lives alone. Im her favorite grandson, so she loves me very much. She still calls me a baby every time she sees me.

Young-guk barely held back a laugh.

How could he imagine that Bong-chun, who was as big as a bear, would be called a baby?

Dont do that and take me with you and show me your face. Ive been with you for years, I should at least say hello. You take such good care of me. How about going down to Busan with me on this vacation? Im going to see my mother anyway. Ill drive to Busan.

Busan all the way?

He would be lying if he wasnt nervous. Busan was as tough to drive as the congested Seoul roads.

Why else would there be a saying about the flashy decorations in Busan?

Of course, that was because the roads were not properly repaired after the Korean War.

Why, are you nervous?

Young-guk gave a faint smile.

Whats the big deal about driving to Busan?

He had been a fishmonger in his previous life.

Compared to driving a truck back then, this was nothing.

***

Sizzling.

The eel is being cooked over the charcoal fire.

He had come down to Busan for a rare weekend after the college entrance exam.

Manager Lee Bong-chuns parents were still looking at Young-guk with disbelief.

His father was small in stature, but his mother was majestic, as he had said he was her favorite grandson.

Manager Lee Bong-chun said something to ease the burden of their gaze.

There was no signboard, so it looked like a normal residence at first glance. But this was the best fortune-teller in the whole province, if not the country.

I wonder if Granny Bear is here.

Thats when Kim Seong-hwan, the CEO, swallowed his nerves.

What are you doing out there? Come in.

The door opened and a majestic old lady appeared.

Kim Seong-hwans eyes widened in surprise.

How did she know he was here?

The fortune-telling house was just like before, with a small shrine and a pile of books on divination in one corner.

Kim Seong-hwan sat on a cushion and asked, shaking his neck.

How did you know I was coming? Did you cast a hexagram or something?

She was indeed a formidable fortune-teller.

How did she know that Kim Seong-hwan, who came from Seoul, would arrive at this time and date?

The old lady snorted and answered.

Dont talk nonsense. How would I know when you would come? I saw your head popping up and down over the wall. Dont you think I dont have eyes? I recognized you as soon as I saw your face. Youre the same guy who came here a few years ago to ask about your business.

He let out a nervous laugh as his tension eased. But that was it.

You came here today because of that noble person, didnt you?

!

You already had your fortune read before, so theres nothing else for you to see. You must have come here to ask about someone else. By the way, that noble person has taken a good look at you. If it werent for him, you would have been homeless by now, betrayed by someone you trusted.

Kim Seong-hwan nodded his head slowly.

He had always struggled with human relationships, cutting them off abruptly.

If it werent for Young-guks advice, he would have been ruined by Hwang Cheol-su, his former co-CEO.

Today was no different.

He came here to find out about Young-guks future. His next work, his college, everything.

And she knew it all at once. It was as if she read Kim Seong-hwans mind.

The fortune-teller continued.

Whatever decision the noble person makes, you just have to watch over him. Dont judge by appearances.

What do you mean by that?

Why cant you understand what Im saying? Dont judge by appearances. He may be younger than you, but hes much more mature inside. Hes already seen a few steps ahead of whatever youre worried about. You just have to protect him well by his side. Thats your role. Hes someone who can turn a chicken into a phoenix. Hes also lucky to have met you. Hell have a smooth and prosperous life from now on. In other words, its a win-win situation.

Gulp.

Kim Seong-hwan swallowed his nerves and took out an envelope from his coat. But the fortune-teller shook her head as she glanced at the envelope.

"Dont bother. Do you think Im a scammer or a fortune-teller if I take your money for this? "

But still.

Didnt I say no? You did the same thing last time. People who came here to find out about their families after the war found their families thanks to me. They came back to thank me. You met the noble person thanks to me. Thats enough. If I take your money every time, the one I serve will be angry. Besides, its cold, so have a cup of hot tea and go.

She shouted to the other side of the shrine.

Kid, bring two cups of hot tea.

Kid?

Kim Seong-hwan looked puzzled by the sudden call.

Could it be that she had an apprentice? Then a man appeared from behind the shrine, holding a small tea tray.

He looked like a bear.

He had a similar build to the fortune-teller.

The mans eyes widened and he asked.

CEO?

Kim Seong-hwan rubbed his eyes with his sleeve and looked at his manager, Lee Bong-chun. His gaze seemed to ask.

Why are you coming out of there?
