Chapter 125

Grandpa exhaled in relief.

After doing that for a long time, he shook his head.

He must have thought something was strange reading his daughter Ko Hae's diary, but I don't think his feelings for me have changed.

"Grandpa,"

I said anxiously, raising his exhausted face.

He seemed to have taken a shock when I said Im not his grandson.

"Little Hun, If you say those words again, you'll be in big trouble, okay?"

"Yes."

As grandpa said, even if there's no blood, I look up to him more than my own grandfather and feel closer to him than my own father.

All the misunderstandings have not been resolved yet, but that mindset will not change.

Grandpa got up with a groan.

"Let's eat." Findd new stories at novelhall.com

Grandpa headed to the sink and took out his smartphone after looking at the dishes I had soaked in detergent.

"I should order. Do you want to eat potato pizza?"

It's just a question of whether I'll eat my usual pizza.

However, it is something he would never say to Ko Hun', who hates potato pizza, so I keep giving it a meaning.

"Yes,"

Grandpa ordered pizza and stretched on the couch in the living room with a groan.

Then suddenly grandpa stands up and stares at me.

He put his hand on my forehead to check if I had a fever.

Where do you think you're sick?

Huh.

I said I was a painter who died 100 years ago, so it's no wonder he thinks Im sick.

"Let's talk now. What made you think that? What do you mean Van Gogh? What are you talking about? What the hell."

I don't know how to explain it.

I wonder if I need to let grandpa know who I am.

"Is it because of the news articles?"

Grandpa referred to the media and critics who described me as [Vincent van Gogh's descendant] or [Little Van Gogh].

It wasn't just them, but also those around me who thought like that.

I drew [Mask] to remove such an image, so he seems to think it is because of that mental burden.

No.

Then?

I'm not sure if I should tell him the whole story, or should I cover it up here and there.

Or is it better to move on with Grandpa's suspicions?

I don't know what is the right answer.

However, grandpa gave me confidence that I would not lose him even if I was honest.

"I remember. How Van Gogh lived."

Grandpa narrowed his eyes.

"I told everyone how he died in Auvers-sur-Oise?"

I brought up the story of Auvers-sur-Oise, where we went last winter.

I think it could be explained to some extent if grandpa recalls how I told grandpa Martin and the Van Gogh Institute staff about the location of the thicket they were looking for.

Grandpa was in agony.

There are probably quite a few instances that grandpa can think of.

I can't speak Korean properly, but I'm good at Dutch, and I'm good at drawing all of a sudden.

"It's interesting, but something doesnt add up."

Grandpa said something unexpected.

"From grandpa's perspective, I think Hun has good observation skills. It's like a habit."

Maybe he means by me looking around wherever I go.

Do you remember going to the psychiatrist when you were in the hospital?

Yes.

Kim Heewon turned the pen around.

"Did he hear anything saying Hun is Van Gogh?"

There were a lot of articles like that. People around him also said similar things,

"Has Hun read a lot about Van Gogh?"

"Yes. It's not only Van Gogh, but he also looks for other artists' stories and watches them."

Kim Heewon, who was lost in thought, tapped on the desk with his pen.

Through his rational and reasonable mindset and long experience as a psychiatrist, he guessed Ko Hun's condition.

"There are times when you collect information from people around you, make a plausible story, and believe it."

"Is that really possible?"

Ko Sooyeol asked as if confirming.

"It sounds absurd, but you should consider Hun's special situation. He has a high level of intelligence, but suddenly he's in a situation where he doesn't even remember who he is. What he can do is guess from the information around him, and as it repeats, he will believe it without even realizing it..But I don't think you need to worry about it too much."

"How can I not worry?"

Kim Heewon smiled leisurely and reassured Ko Sooyeol.

"I think you handled it well. You didn't deny what he thought and continued the conversation, right? Hun doesn't deny the professor either."

Yes.

Hun has only one to prove himself. Yesterday's conversation might have made him realize that hell be his grandfather's grandson no matter who he is. So he'll get better."

Ko Sooyeol was relieved but couldn't completely ease his worries.

"If you're worried, let's take a test. I don't think there's much of a problem because Hun can talk to the professor normally."

"What kind of test

Arent you worried that he might have a mental illness? A delusional disorder or something.

I don't know,

Ko Sooyeol sighed.

"I don't think Hun is mentally weird. However, I thought it might be a problem with the environment or something."

Ko Sooyeol found the cause of the problem in himself.

Kim Heewon smiled at him.

He watched the two of them treat each other last year, so he didn't think there would be a big problem.

I don't think so.

Thank you.

Ko Sooyeol asked, sighing.

Is delusion a disease?

Yes, it's categorized as a disease.

There's nothing wrong with anything else, right?

There will be no problems in daily life. Most of them are convinced that their thoughts are right, so if they dont realize it and it gets worse, problems can arise.."

Kim Heewon reassured Ko Sooyeol, who was anxious, once again.

"Don't worry too much. We need to do the test, but I don't think there's a big problem with Hun. Think of it as a test that proves that it's a problem that will be solved naturally over time."

Ko Sooyeol closed his eyes.

He didnt know how to ask his grandson to meet with the psychiatrist.

Many parents felt the same way, so Kim Heewon comforted Ko Sooyeol.

"It's best to choose the right words and be honest. Sometimes they feel betrayed when they are lied to.

Ko Sooyeol nodded.

When will it be convenient for you?

Please visit at your convenience. Don't worry too much."

TRIVIA

On November 3, 2020, a team of researchers at the University of Groningen Medical Center in the Netherlands claimed Vincent van Gogh's suicide was an act of acute organic brain syndrome.

A research team at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands found Van Gogh suffered from acute organic brain syndrome twice.

They refuted the existing theory that he suffered from borderline personality disorder and schizophrenia.

It is a syndrome in which brain dysfunction occurs due to malnutrition, excessive drinking, lack of sleep, and mental exhaustion.
