IF YOU'RE HANDSOME LIFE IS EASIER

07

The creator above the landlord.

I've gained that great title, but my life hasn't changed much at all.

The building is a commercial property, so moving isn't on the table.

As expected, Dad didn't quit his job.

Mom was admitted to the hospital right away for cancer treatment.

It was a time when medical science hadn't developed much.

It was really fortunate that I could afford astronomical medical bills.

'I can cover the hospital fees with the monthly rent, no problem.'

Dad doesn't seem to have much of a business sense or greed for money.

He just seemed satisfied with owning one building.

He didn't look like he wanted to roll more money.

Rather...

- It's your building, so I'll manage it until you become an adult.

After that, you're on your own.

He was treating the property in Bundang like something to get rid of quickly.

'Weirdly, the quietness around me is probably thanks to Dad being quiet too.'

When someone starts making money, people naturally come around to find out.

But maybe it's because Dad is the epitome of being mute, not even cousins came to visit.

During a time when there was no privacy, making big money would usually sell your private life.

Yet that got forgotten in the hype of the 2002 World Cup semi-finals.

I had become the so-called 'rich person that nobody knows.'

'Yeah, there's really no need to make more money here.'

I initially didn't even have the skills to make more money.

In my previous life, I was just an ordinary citizen.

My understanding of investments or economic flows was very lacking.

So, ultimately, as the owner of the Bundang building, what was I doing?

"Shall we do some exercise with Sook-Sook today?"

"Yayyy!"

I was diligently following the teacher's instructions doing Sook-Sook exercise.

At that time, I was 124cm tall.

I was about 10cm taller than the average height.

"Dong-Hoo, but you seem different somehow."

"What do you mean?"

"Um... you look cleaner."

The only person who noticed the change after I became rich was my seatmate, Ryu Jaerin.

Maybe because she was close by, she apparently noticed I looked different.

"But seriously, between me and Su-Jin, am I prettier?"

"Uhh..."

It was just another question she asked all the time.

Since it became known I was in [Dr. Kya-Ruk!], Ryu Jaerin kept comparing our looks.

Why is a six-year-old already worrying about how she'll look when she grows up?

'Oh right, she's going to become a famous idol.'
