Chapter 183

It was after Yoo-hyun and his group had left.

Jo Gevia, who was cleaning up the room, exclaimed in surprise.

“Brian. Brian.”

“What’s wrong? Don’t be so loud. You might get a call from the landlady.”

“Hey. Come here quickly.”

“What’s going on?”

Brian Chesky came out of the bathroom, wiping his hair with a towel and looking annoyed.

Jo Gevia handed him a bundle of bills.

Brian Chesky, who was looking at it casually, was startled and almost fell backwards.

“Wha, a thousand dollars?”

“Yeah. Steve left it.”

“What? Then we have to return it right away.”

“Look at this first.”

Jo Gevia thrust a note at him.

It contained a memo that Yoo-hyun had written with care.

-To Brian Chesky and Jo Gevia, my dear friends.

Thank you for your kindness and hospitality.

I hope you don’t give up on your brilliant idea and keep pushing forward.

If you clean the house and place some props around, you will get better feedback.

I’m leaving you some money that might help your business.

P.S. Don’t bother returning it. Just keep it.

From your friend, Steve Han.

Brian Chesky’s hand trembled as he held the short note.

After a while, he muttered softly.

“Steve...”

“...”

Jo Gevia, who was standing next to him, sat down in the room and stared blankly at the ceiling.

Both of them had a million thoughts in their heads.

It wasn’t about the money.

It was the warm heart that he had shown to a stranger that moved his chest.

-To do good and build trust, and to make a better world with that power.

That was the core of the business they were trying to do.

The moment that realization crossed his mind, he became confident about the accommodation sharing that had been impossible with one item.

And he felt like he knew what he had to do now.

Jo Gevia got up and said.

“Brian, what are you doing? Don’t just sit there.”

“Where are you going?”

“I have to go to the presentation. And this.”

“Why?”

Jo Gevia gave Brian Chesky a thousand dollars and said.

“You’re the CEO of Airbnb, right? Do as Steve said and tidy up the house a bit.”

“What? What about you?”

“Wait and see. I’ll be back soon with the ticket design printed out.”

“Are you serious?”

Jo Gevia gave a confident answer to Brian Chesky’s question.

“Let’s do it right. I’m determined to make this business a success.”

“...”

Brian Chesky was flustered.

Jo Gevia, who had been passive all along, had changed completely.

‘That guy.’

But he didn’t look bad at all.

Brian Chesky, who felt a surge of energy in his body, said loudly.

“Yeah. Let’s do it. Airbnb. Let’s do it right for once.”

“Okay. I’m going.”

Jo Gevia clenched his fist and went outside.

His steps looked unusually light.

Yoo-hyun drove straight to the exhibition hall.

Kim Younggil, who was sitting next to him, said.

“The accommodation wasn’t bad, right?”

“Yes. It was a very meaningful time for me.”

“Well, not that much, but I hope it goes well. They looked like broke students.”

“It will go well.”

Yoo-hyun chuckled.

It’s not usually the case.

Thump. Thump.

Curiosity as much as joy made Yoo-hyun’s heart beat.

Yoo-hyun suppressed his pounding heart and said calmly.

“That means the display is important in the future. Maybe this whole space will turn into a display.”

“That’s interesting. Then you can attend this kind of exhibition anywhere.”

“Not just the exhibition. If you have a space wrapped in a display, you can travel the world.”

It was the moment Yoo-hyun answered.

-Can’t the display reduce the gap between people? Even without money, you can get education, medical treatment, and even travel the world.

Yoo-hyun’s brain flashed back to the words of Shin Kyungwook, the former mobile group leader.

He always put people first.

Even though he was a chaebol, he always looked down, unlike others.

Yoo-hyun didn’t understand him at first.

He honestly thought it was hypocrisy, deception.

But he realized later.

Shin Kyungwook was a person who truly knew how to give.

And he was a person who carried more burden on his shoulders than anyone else, and tried to take responsibility.

He said with a bright voice.

“Oh, that’s a good idea.”

“Thank you.”

What expression did Shin Kyungwook have now?

He was curious, but he couldn’t face his face directly.

He felt like his heart would swell up, so he lowered his eyes instead.

‘He wore these shoes too.’

He saw the sneakers he wore with jeans.

This was also a free look he had never seen before.

Swoosh.

Yoo-hyun’s hand, which had lowered his eyes, reached out.

The man who reached out his hand said.

“I’m Richard.”

“I’m Steve.”

Yoo-hyun barely raised his head and shook his hand with a relaxed look.

He saw a neat T-shirt with an ivory jacket on it.

There was no name tag around his neck.

He always left out his name ‘Hanseong’ and remained a simple spectator.

It was to avoid giving prejudice to the first person he met.

Yoo-hyun wanted that too.

It was enough to introduce each other by their first names.

Not Shin Kyungwook and Han Yoo-hyun, but Richard and Steve.

Not a hierarchical relationship, but an equal one.

Not a work, but a friend who shares common interests.

Yoo-hyun wanted to meet his old boss, whom he had admired in the past, in that way, and he did.

They became friends quickly because they had the same interests.

Without revealing their identities, the two walked around the exhibition hall and talked a lot.

Shin Kyungwook gave him a bright voice.

“Steve, look over there. The table and the ceiling are all displays.”

“The bus stop is also a display. So is the building wall.”

Shin Kyungwook, no, Richard was younger in thought than Yoo-hyun remembered.

And he didn’t hesitate to express his curiosity.

“Wow, this way you can change the design anytime you want.”

“If the screen borders disappear and the price becomes cheaper, maybe that world will come true.”

“Indeed. There are still many challenges to solve. But they will be solved soon.”

He was not afraid to show what he didn’t know, and his eyes were very positive.

Yoo-hyun felt more comfortable with Shin Kyungwook.

“Yes. We’ll overcome it as always.”

“It’s not just overcoming, but later everything will be a display.”

“That’s a good thing to say.”

At the same time, he had the same deep insight as before.

-Look carefully. All the parts are getting smaller or disappearing in front of your eyes, but the display is getting bigger. Maybe in the future, only the display will remain.

Yoo-hyun smiled at the words he had said before.

He enjoyed talking to him, who was younger and freer.

It was not teaching someone, but exchanging questions and answers at a similar level that aroused his interest.

Was that why?

“This is for the future...”

“That’s why...”

They walked around the exhibition hall and had a lot of conversations.
