Chapter 07

Hoseok was actually right to speculate that Park Min-hyuk had second-child syndrome. While studying in university, Min-hyuk really was second in a million of ways; no matter what exam he took, his name was always below Cha Eunwoo's.

Eunwoo was very popular back then. Almost everyone in the school liked him, and it was if only Park Min-hyuk felt like he was under Eunwoo's shadow.

It was only until Eunwoo gave up his spot to study abroad due to an accident that the spot fell on Min-hyuk. Did it make him happy? Not really. The situation only felt like Eunwoo was giving him his leftovers. Did it make him unhappy, then? No. After all, it was a rare opportunity for any student in their major.

Park Min-hyuk finished his postgraduate studies with this incompetent mindset. Then today, Eunwoo suddenly shows up and asks him, 'Why are you working in a financial company'?

Min-hyuk looked at the sentence on his phone silently before sneering. This way of doing things was very in-line with Cha Eunwoo's personality.

Park Min-hyuk: Shouldn't you be doing your job and delivering food right now?

Cha Eunwoo: You're different.

Min-hyuk had excellent grades in university, and he even gained the opportunity to study abroad. Eunwoo learned from Uncle Top that Park Min-hyuk managed to get a job at a flight yard when he came back to Korea, a great starting opportunity to show his skills in the industry.

Meeting him at a financial company today was definitely a surprise, not because they met in awkward circumstances, but because Park Min-hyuk had changed careers.

It took a long time before Park Min-hyuk replied to his message. Once he did, several messages came one after the other.

Park Min-hyuk: I'm not like you. I'm not as enthusiastic about aviation as you are.

Park Min-hyuk: Aviation majors are pits. It's useless to study it. How many of our fellow graduates actually become chief designers?

Park Min-hyuk: Even if I did a postgraduate, what does that actually amount to? The entire industry operates on a 6 a.m. - 11 p.m. work hour. If you're not doing overtime, you're on a business trip. And what about the income? Take a look at our class group, show me one who lives comfortably. The aviation industry is like dedicating yourself to service the country.

Looking at Park Min-hyuk's messages, Cha Eunwoo was quiet for some time. He remembered what his father had told him when he was a child 'Aviation requires passion.'

He believed that every student that chose to major in aviation initially had the enthusiasm to enter the industry and contribute to their country's aviation research. But eventually, this enthusiasm would get exhausted when faced with reality.

Aviation is a relatively new industry, and even a flight yard might not give the best treatment to its newcomers. But the fact that it was a young and new industry meant unknown territory and many opportunities to explore and be imaginative. Eunwoo firmly believed that it wouldn't be too difficult to obtain achievements as long as one sticks with it till the end.

Cha Eunwoo: I still think it's a pity.

Park Min-hyuk: What, a pity that you didn't manage to finish your postgraduate studies?

Cha Eunwoo: No, a pity that your talents won't be used.

Park Min-hyuk: That's enough! What's there to pity about me?
