Chapter 39

“I’m here to transport the coffin that arrived on Flight 826.”

The process of taking over the coffin was quite complicated.

The thing that bothered me the most was that I had no family relationship with Kim Jun in the first place.

Thanks to this, there were more than a dozen types of documents that had to be entered, and the parts that encountered limitations were practically forced to use the power of power.

“If you go to Cargo 2, the person in charge will be waiting for you.”

The condition of the coffin, which I took over after 3 hours, was unpredictable and neat.

We mobilized a local funeral company to transfer the body back to the new coffin, but the size and weight of the coffin was truly enormous, perhaps because of a different culture from ours.

[Mr. Jin?]

The moment I finished signing the handover documents, I heard a familiar voice in my ears.

For a while, I felt like I wasn’t.

As he turned, a shock as if struck by lightning passed through his entire body.

[My name is Ryan, Jun’s friend. Maybe that’s Mr. Jean? ]

Shake!

It must have been Ryan.

When I was studying at MIT, I was the best friend of mine.

Damn, but how did he manage to survive?

Obviously, the person who died in a major car accident in front of the school in 1997.

I still have vivid memories of sprinkling soil on his grave at the time…

[That’s right, I’m Hyunseung Jin.][You are finally seeing Mr. Jean. nice to meet you.]

It was after he came close to his nose that he barely came to his senses.

No matter how you look at it, my friend Ryan is clearly the situation.

If I had lost my reason just a little bit more, I would have been able to confirm by touching my face.

[Ah yes… but this place is….][I was hearing the news that Jun’s grave was being relocated. So I kept my senses all the time, and just heard the news that it was D-Day and flew with me.]

If you don’t understand the situation, you don’t go.

If I had, I would have burst into tears.

I was wondering how many people would fly to a distant country just because I moved the grave of a friend I had been close with for only a few years.

In fact, even at the time, he was the best guy in terms of loyalty, so it’s not that I don’t understand it at all.

But…why are you still alive?

[I don’t know how to thank you for this.][The person who should be thankful is rather me. How easy would it be to go through such a complicated process and bring a friend home. I don’t know if you know, but Juni talked about it quite a bit throughout his studies.]

Ryan still held out his hand with a friendly smile.

How long have you been holding hands?

There was still a warm warmth from the hand of the large, crude man.

you’re really alive

[Are you wearing makeup by the way?][Yes, I plan to enshrin it in an ossuary in Seongnam.][i See. If it’s not rude, can I accompany you?][Yes, of course.]

As he nodded willingly, Ryan smiled.

Soon after calling somewhere, he wanted to talk for a while, and then he waved his hand to someone standing on the other side.

[Who is coming with you?]

he asked curiously.

At the same time, a blonde woman approached.

The words of the director of the information business that she had requested a moment ago flashed through her mind like lightning.

No way … I, or she, the woman who lived with Kim Jun in this era in the United States ? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

[This is Kate, who was Juni’s roommate.]

Ryan, who turned towards me again, confirmed my guess.

I hadn’t expected this situation.

As I stare blankly at her bewildered heart, the woman suddenly hugs me tightly.

[Thank you, for allowing Juni to return to her hometown . . . ][Ah yes······.]

He responded with a rude attitude.

After her, she looked at her away from her, but she couldn’t find a corner of her where I could fall for her.

Her freckled skin.

Normal appearance and rough hands.

[Once you get in the car.]

She opened the door of her car as she approached and motioned her hand towards her.

The moment she got into her car, responding with her faint smile.

Suddenly her she staggered and grabbed me.

‘What? Have you ever been sick?’

******

The road to the crematorium.

Ryan and Kate were in the same car with me, looking depressed the whole time.

He must have been heartbroken by the fate of his close friend and lover who will soon become a handful of ashes.

“Jun-ah…”

It was the same with Hee-won, who was crying the entire way.



[How did you and Juni meet?]

That was a question for Kate.

It’s her first meeting with Ryan anyway because I know better, and I don’t know anything about her.

She hesitated for a moment, as if bewildered by the sudden question, but she soon opened her mouth, revealing her expression on her face.

[I worked at a restaurant that Jun often went to. It was a lonely time for both Jun and I…]

After that, I felt like I didn’t even have to listen.

What was a bit surprising was the fact that I couldn’t stand the loneliness and met a woman again.

That part is somehow not easy to understand.

[i See. By the way, by the way, I remember Ryan now. I remember when Jun was saddened that one of her friend’s few previous friends in America had a serious accident.]

Afterwards, she turned to Ryan and talked about the allusion accident.

He had just looked out the window and tilted his head, as if that sounded like some kind of bullshit.

[Accident?][··········.]

With this, only one fact is certain.

For some reason, history has changed.

It’s fortunate for Ryan, and I’m also glad I didn’t suffer the death of a close friend. Somehow, the back end is a bit awkward.

[Yes, this is Ryan.]

While he was in his thoughts for a while, Ryan stiffened his expression when he received a sudden phone call.

As he looked up to see if something bad had happened, he spoke with great excitement.

[Oh, you have to talk to Senator Megan directly, not me. No, it is not something that can be easily resolved no matter how much money you spend.]

After finishing the short call, Ryan looked out the window again.

senator. and money.

Why are those words coming out of that friend’s mouth?

Bewildered, I spoke to him again.

[Didn’t I say Jun and MIT were the same?

[Yes.][By the way, the content of the call doesn’t seem to suit the person from the engineering college. Ah! I apologize if I was offended.][Is there anything wrong with that? Actually, I fell into a field that had nothing to do with my major. I realized the limits of my abilities, and I heard that there was a sanctuary for my father to take over the family business. My family has a reputation as a lobbyist from generation to generation.]

Hearing that, I remembered.

A time when we went to pubs together and cursed American politics.

An incident that surprised me when Ryan said that his father had contributed to such a dirty political climate in the United States.

That’s right, I’m sure his father said he was a famous lobbyist in the US.

[So, is Ryan also working as a lobbyist now?][That’s right. His father’s influence is so great that his success rate is quite high.]

It’s not like I want to brag about myself.

It’s because he wasn’t the type to show his power in that way in the first place.

Is it just an expression to clearly state your situation?

Anyhow, it was a delight for me.

An existence that can breathe life into the American family.

Because I desperately needed it right now.

[If your schedule is not urgent, how about going after a few days? It bothers me for some reason to just send Jun’s friend back to the yard where I met him like this.][I thought so. Actually, I was very curious about what Jun’s hometown was like.]

Those words gave me a sense of relief.

Soon he thanked me over and over again in the limousine that followed me from behind.

‘Thank you, another Kim Jun. And… I’m sorry.’

********

[haha! I didn’t know that Jun had such a side.]

During the few days Ryan was in Korea, our relationship grew rapidly.

His personality and interests, including his habits in the first place. It was a natural result for me, who knew even his sleeping habits.

Thanks to this, we had quite a few conversations, and we were able to even have a serious conversation about what happened between Jaewoo and Nokid.

[You must have suffered quite a bit. Seriously, if it’s a Nokid, it’s definitely worth it. Ah! do you know that Previously, the French apostle Palestine was targeted by them and eventually collapsed.][If it was Palemo, it was one of the parts suppliers of Nokid like Jaewoo Aerospace.][Yeah, it was a pretty important company. The problem is that they suddenly got involved in a European independent fighter development project. Then Nokid and Boeing. And the other confederations cost 10 billion dollars to bring down that one company.][10 billion dollars?][That’s not all. Financial power is also financial power, but how tenacious their methods were. You’ve been bleeding for years.][so?][In that situation, do you have the guts to survive when you rush to eat even your competitors in your country? In the end, the French government, fearing the leakage of national technology, prevented the sale to other countries, but it did not prevent the change of ownership.][Hmm······.][Anyway, in that sense, it means that Jaewoo managed to get out of it.][Well, you might think so.]

He responded with an awkward laugh.

As soon as we were about to meet the drink, he suddenly tilted his head and looked at me.

[By the way, I somehow feel that Nokid made a mistake this time around?][········](Read more @ wuxiax.com)

[Come to think of it, if Jae-Woo let go of his hand, the place he would like the most is China. It’s because I wasn’t able to raise my technical skills in the aviation field. If that happens, it would be a headache for the U.S. government as well, but I don’t know if I’m going to treat Nokid well.][Yeah, actually, that’s the pants I was hoping for.][······What are you talking about?]

He asked with a puzzled expression.

He took a sip of the drink he was holding and looked at him silently.

[As you said, China will attack soon. What is the next action the US government will take?][Yeah, I’ll try to find companies to take over in the West. Or was it pressured US airline companies to take over? That’s better than letting China eat it.][However, the problem is that the motor market is a gyreuk for western companies. It’s not that the acquisition amount is small, and it’s a company with lower technology than them. Moreover, if the West stepped in, Russia would not stand still this time. Then, is there any place that will take over?][··········.][What do you think? If that happens, what do you think the U.S. government will do?][That’s it…

[Actually, if the relationship with Nokid is terminated, there is no reason why we can’t take over again. However, if we go out again without any countermeasures, this time we will not be targeted by Nokid, but by all American aviation-related military companies.][That’s right.][But what if China intervenes, and the US government, who is wary of it, comes forward and recommends us to take over?][··········.][Of course, we have not yet confirmed the re-acquisition. So, you’ll have to figure out the problem. well by the way In the future, if I want to do business with the United States, the most necessary thing is a lobbyist, could you help me with that?][······· Of course.]

Ryan replied with a bright eye.

As if he was drunk, he let out a wild laugh, then suddenly looked at the room next door and made a gloomy expression again.

[She’s such a pitiful woman by the way.][who? Kate?][uh. As far as I know, the accident happened just six months after we started living together with Jun. After that, the shock was so great that he couldn’t do his job properly.][Then what was your life like?][In the meantime, I’ve been helping. Of course, he refused at first, but recently he asked for help again. It was only after he realized that there was a disease growing in his body that he couldn’t handle.][What disease do you have?][Pancreatic Cancer.][··········.]

She remembered the image of her staggering as she got into the car for a moment.

Her problem was that she had such a body and she dared to move her step here.

For some reason, she felt like a corner of her chest was melting.

[Is there any way I can help?][It’s economical, so maybe I can help. But there is no medical way. Because the doctors told her she wouldn’t last more than six months at best. So I wondered if she wanted to come to Korea because she wanted to be buried next to Jun. In fact, she said that she wanted to meet her death in her mother’s arms. I… but… by the way. Could you help me so that she can be buried next to Jun in the future?][Yeah, of course.]

Suppressing the boiling emotions, he raised the glass.

This expensive drink felt like a medicine for some reason today.

Can you make nuclear weapons too?-40
