Chapter 159 Summer Valley (5)

The next day.

Wow.

What is it?

I dont know. It looks like a beetle.

Dont touch it. Leave it alone. It might be dangerous.

Its okay.

Are you going to eat it?

No. Look. Isnt it cool?

Ew, no! Its gross!

Go Suyeol smiled fondly at the two kids.

They wanted to catch insects, so he bought them a collecting box and a net from a nearby stationery store. They had been running around all morning without a break.

The straw hats he put on them were too big and kept sliding off.

Vroom- vroom-

As he was about to get them some sun caps, Go Suyeols phone rang.

It was a call from his old friend Martin Jansen. He answered it cheerfully.

Martin.

-You came all the way to Korea, but where did you go so busy?

Haha. Im enjoying a vacation with Hoon. You should take your grandson on a trip too. You wont think about anything else.

-Whats so cute about a kid who only plays games?

Go Suyeol laughed.

-Actually, I have a favor to ask Hoon.

A favor?

-Well. Im making a documentary about Vincent van Gogh. I need an interview with Hoon about the process of finding his last work.

That shouldnt be hard. Let me ask him. Hoon.Discover new chapters at novelhall.com

Yes?

Can you come here for a moment? Grandpa Martin has something he wants to ask you.

At Go Suyeols call, Go Hoon ran over and took the phone.

Martin?

-Oh, yeah. Is the trip fun?

I just caught a cool beetle.

-A beetle?

Yes. Im going to find out what its name is.

Martin couldnt understand what Go Hoon was talking about, but he could tell from his voice that he was having fun.

-Hehe. Okay. Be sure to let me know.

I will. Whats up?

Go Suyeol took off the straw hat that Go Hoon was wearing.

-Im making a documentary about Vincent van Gogh.

Oh

-Why?

Nothing. Go on.

-I was thinking of putting your interview in it. Your thoughts on van Gogh, or what happened when you found the place where he painted his last work.

Go Hoon was lost in thought.

It wasnt a difficult task, but he remembered the embarrassing incidents that had happened recently when he was exposed to the media.

-Can you do it?

Sure. But what kind of content is it?

-Its a biography. You can think of it as a detailed portrait. Like how you made an insect book when you were young, or how you liked painting because of your mother.

Go Hoon felt relieved.

That kind of content didnt seem to be anything to be ashamed of.

-It seems like you benchmarked the method that was verified in the music industry, but I heard that there is a lot of opposition from the critics and artists.

-Yes. They have three main reasons. One is that professionalism is needed, and the second is somewhat related to the first reason, which is the fear that it could become a popularity contest.

-That could be a problem.

-Yes. Not only that, but there was also a problem that there could be manipulation in the voting, but it was somewhat solved by the process that you have to authenticate the ticket to vote.

-Then what is the last reason?

-That such a procedure was carried out by Henri Marsos unilateral decision without enough discussion.

Michael Ping continued to explain that Henri Marso was not free from the controversy that arose in the French art world.

Turn it off.

Henri Marso opened his mouth nervously.

The TV turned off with a sound and the screen became transparent.

Michel Platini, who was reading a book across the room, turned his head. Henri, who had a twisted face, came into his sight.

Damn it.

Michel understood his complaint.

Not only France, but the whole world of art was talking about the Arnuvo Contest, so he couldnt help but care.

Especially since he was a sensitive person, he seemed to be more so.

He closed the book and approached him to comfort him a little.

Whats the matter? Whats the one thing?

Michel tilted his head.

As he approached, he saw a book written in Korean.

Henri said to Michel.

How do Koreans read numbers? Why do they say haru when it should be il?

Is that why?

So?

He was glad that he didnt care about the TV content.

"I dont think we have anything to say about how we count numbers."1)

What is it.

As Michel shrugged his shoulders, Henri lowered his head and looked at the Korean textbook again.

Why Korean all of a sudden?

Dont tell me youre really trying to watch Hoons broadcast?

Oh my. Really?

No.

Henri Marso tried to ignore Michel and looked through the textbook.

Even if he read the number 1 as il and hana.

He couldnt understand why they said han myeong instead of il myeong. If he had to choose one of the two, it should be hana myeong.

"Penelope?"2)

Shut up! I said no!

Henri Marso shouted and Michel laughed and left the bedroom.

*****

1)In France, 1 to 16 are each called independent nouns, and 17(dix-sept) is 10(dix)+7(sept).

In 18 and 19, 10(dix) is pronounced [diz], but 17(dix-sept) is pronounced [di] by dropping [s].

Then 70 is 60+10.

80(quatre-vingts) is 20(vingts)4(quatre) and 90(quatre-vingt-dix) is 20(vingts)4(quatre)+10(dix).

It was a result of the 20-base system that was used as a basis in the Middle Ages and then the 10-base system was introduced, but the 20-base system that remained in many places of life.

The traces of using the 20-base system are still left in everyday life, so many tests in France are out of 20 points.

2)Pnlope(F): Penelope of Greek mythology. She was the wife of Ulysses and kept her chastity for 20 years.

Although there is a difference, please understand it as a transcendent translation of Youre a good wife, youre a good wife.
