The Famous Millionaire Chapter 204

Hyunwoo was confident enough to show Yenam the specific evidence. Then, he would not be able to avoid Hyunwoo anymore. Hyunwoo was really curious about Yenam. The next morning Hyunwoo found a message from Yenam. With a tense feeling, Hyunwoo opened his message, but it was not sent by Yenam. The message started with something really unexpected. Yenam’s behavior missed his expectation all the time. How come Yenam’s father sent a message to him? What’s more ridiculous was the phrase ‘Yenam’s father.’ Hyunwoo thought momentarily that maybe Yenam might be his real name, not pen name. The message showed how concerned Yenam’s father was about his son. Reading the message, Hyunwoo could figure out what kind of situation he was in now. Yenam was an adult without a job. He had no particular talent, he was not a smart student and he might be physically handicapped, Hyunwoo thought. Given that his father, not Yenam, sent the message, Yenam seemed to be chicken-hearted, timid and indecisive. Hyunwoo was at a loss of how to respond to the message. Without explaining Yenam’s capability, Hyunwoo felt he could not persuade Yenam’s father why he tried to hire him. After some hard thinking, he giggled and then began to compose the message. In less than ten minutes after Hyunwoo sent the message, Yenam’s father replied. Obviously, he was also waiting for Hyunwoo’s response. Hyunwoo hastily sent back the message. Hyunwoo felt as if he was shooting a spy movie but didn’t care at all. He waited until 6 pm and then posted the bulletin on KOVE DREAM’s website and the retitling of the Tuti & Angelica animation series. Then, he sent Yenam a confirmation message. Yenam said he confirmed it. Hyunwoo sent the message: But Yenam didn’t reply. It looked like he didn’t change his mind, but he was very careful about meeting Hyunwoo. He didn’t call or send any messages until that evening. The next morning, Hyunwoo checked the message box as soon as he got up. There were two messages waiting for him, but they were not from Yenam. “What the heck is this? Why hasn’t he yet replied?” Hyunwoo initially wanted to send him another message urging for his quick reply but decided to wait until the afternoon. It was obvious that Yenam didn’t ignore Hyunwoo’s message but was hesitating until the last minute. When he came out of his house, his cell phone buzzed. Confirming the caller’s number, he found it was new to him. His eyes opened wide at that. It might be Yenam’s call. He cautiously picked up the phone, “Yes, I’m Hyunwoo Jang.” The other party identified himself in a very prudent voice, “Hello. I’m Yenam’s father.” A smile came to Hyunwoo’s lips before he knew. He thought Yenam’s father would respond with a message, but he called in person. That suggested Yenam decided to identify himself. Even though he contacted Hyunwoo through his father, it was more important to Hyunwoo to realize the meeting. “Nice to talk to you like this. Thanks for calling me. You have made a difficult decision,” said Hyunwoo, praising him. But Yenam’s father was still wary, “Are you sure you want to hire my son? Giving him a salary, too?” “Sure. I am not sure if he will be satisfied with the salary. By the way, is Yenam his real name?” “Yes, it is. I gave him that name, reflecting my wish that he should be a courteous man. I haven’t thought in advance that it sounds awkward if his given name is combined with his last name. By the way, he is 33 years old this year.” “Oh, I see. I’m 33 years old, too. He’s just my age. Anyway, I would like to work with him. If he makes the decision, I will hire him for at least one year,” said Hyunwoo confidently. “What happens after one year then?” “If Yenam can’t find the kind of job he wants, I can’t help him anymore. Is he working at a company right now?” “No, not really. I’m ashamed to say this, but he isn’t good at anything.” “Well, he has nothing to lose anyway. He is guaranteed a job at least for one year. Let’s meet for further discussion.” “Got it. We’re available anytime, so let me know when it’s convenient for you. As for the meeting place, I would like to see you at the Olympic Park in front of the city hall of Suwon…” Yenam’s father told him about the location in detail. Hyunwoo had no reason to drag on. “Let me leave for that place now. I’ll call this number when I get there.” “Got it. I’ll be waiting for you with Yenam there.” Hyunwoo quickly headed for the meeting place and then called his number. When he called, he heard the bell right behind him at the sametime. “Are you Mr. Hyunwoo Jang…?” Hyunwoo quickly turned his head. Two men were looking at him. One of them was standing, and the other was in a wheelchair. Hyunwoo cast a glance to the man in a wheelchair, thinking he might be Yenam. Given his physical condition, Yenam had been wounded a long time ago. As the lower part of his body was uncomfortable, he obviously had to stay in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. Suddenly what his father had said came to his mind. When he heard that, Hyunwoo guessed he must be overcome with defeatism, but he now knew that his father said that because of his son’s handicapped situation. Hyunoo quickly approached him to say hello, “Nice to meet you. I’m Hyunwoo Jang. Are you Yenam’s father?” “Yes, it’s nice to see you. He is my son, Yenam.” Hyunwoo held Yenam’s hand, and Yenam reached out his hand and bowed to him. Hyunwoo sat on the bench along with Yenam and his father. “Looks like your legs are an inconvenience,” said Hyunwoo. Yenam hesitated in replying as if he expected his father to speak for him. Looking at him quietly, Hyunwoo felt Yenam had also a psychological problem. It looked as if he was suffering from autism.
