Golden Time (JungYong)

94

Getting out of Kim's car, Suhyuk looked at the large garden.

He came back to this place after such a long time.

"Let's go in."

When Suhyuk followed him into the house, he heard a familiar but pleasant sound.

Bark! Bark!

That big dog resembling a lion.

She looked even bigger than last time, as Suhyuk saw her for the first time in a long time.

When he approached, she wagged her tail.

"You remember me."

When he stroked her head, she lay down on her back and acted cute.

"Come on in, Suhyuk," said Kim.

There was nothing that changed about the big living room.

He recalled lots of memories here in the past, such as keeping the mother company and studying there.

"Do you still play games?" asked Suhyuk.

Taking out import alcoholic, Kim said with a smile, "Sure I do."

"Hey, let me offer this," said Kim, filling a cup for him.

Kim filled the glass and put some ice in it by himself.

It looked like the import alcohol cost more than one million won.

How could he disguise himself as a jobless man to her?

"You must be busy these days, right?" asked Kim.

"Business as usual, sir."

"I'm proud of you, man," said Kim, taking a sip of it and looking at him proudly.

Though he said Suhyuk was smart, he never thought he would go as far as to receive a Nobel Prize. Suddenly he recalled the first time he met Suhyuk. Those medical staff at the emergency room were like scarecrows. It was the student Suhyuk who actually found out that the real cause of his mother's disease was appendicitis.

"Seeing as you received a Nobel Prize, now you could open a private hospital," said Kim.

Suhyuk just smiled at his compliment.

Then a door opened and his mother came out.

Suhyuk rose from his seat with a smile.

"How have you been?"
"Mom, were you disturbed by the noise here?"

Despite Kim's asking she fixed her eyes on Suhyuk and then rolled up her sleeves.

"Have you eaten, honey?"

Then she went to the refrigerator and opened it.

Kim let out a short sigh at that with a smile, saying,

"Looks like she sees her late husband in you."

Rising from the seat, Kim went to her and said,

"Yes, mom. He said he ate already."

"You still don't know who your daddy is. He just drinks alcohol with his business friends without eating anything."

Standing behind her Kim just made a bitter smile.

He could feel her affectionate feelings toward her late husband through her voice.

"Honey, don't take any more alcohol and sit. Let me cook delicious spicy Kimchi soup with pork neck. I know you like it a lot," said she to Suhyuk.
