Real Man

Nadoha, who had already skimmed through the content, commented.

“That’s a good idea, isn’t it?”

“Right? If we have a review format frame ready, uploading videos will be much easier.”

“It will also allow ordinary people to make high-quality videos without any hassle. I’ll take a look at it.”

“But are you okay?”

“What do you mean?”

“You have too much work to do right now.”

“I’m fine. I have some free time since I handed over the work for With and Milky. The development of the Reverb easy transfer system is not too hard either. The law is the problem.”

Nadoha smiled, but he was not really fine.

Park Young-hoon stuck out his tongue at how much he was involved in various things.

It was natural for anyone to get tired if they ran too hard.

‘No matter how much he is Nadoha, surely… No, there was such a time.’

Suddenly, Yoo-hyun’s brain flashed back to the memory of working at the Hansung Group Strategy Room.

Back then, Nadoha, who worked under Yoo-hyun, did everything he was told without a word for money.

Yoo-hyun rewarded him well, but he didn’t pay attention to his mental problems.

In the end, Nadoha, who missed his grandmother’s deathbed because he was working, threw everything away and left.

That was the end of the genius who was just sprouting.

He vowed to make it different this time, but he seemed to depend on him too much from some point.

He magically did everything, so he asked him again as if it was natural.

He knew very well that he was doing too much work.

“…”

Yoo-hyun looked unhappy, and Nadoha asked.

“Brother, what’s wrong?”

“Just. I almost repeated the same mistake.”

“Mistake?”

“There’s something I shouldn’t do. Nadoha, let’s review it later.”

Making Wonki-jun’s idea concrete was something that could be done later.

He didn’t have to rush it since he was preparing for something else.

But Nadoha thought differently.

“I’m fine. It’s just a slight change of direction from the video service I was developing. It’s not a big deal if I just pay attention to the editing function.”

“Just listen to me this time and take a break. Put down some of the work you’re doing now.”

“Brother, you know what I’m going to say, right?”

“That’s why I’m saying this. You need to get away from work a little. Hey, do you want to go on a trip or something?”

“A trip?”

“Yeah. It feels good to get away. Your grandmother must have never been on a trip. Take her with you this time.”

Yoo-hyun didn’t want to see his beloved brother miss the important things because he was working.

One mistake was enough.

“I understand what you’re saying, but my grandmother won’t want to leave the store and go anywhere.”

“Don’t just think about yourself. You haven’t even asked her.”

“I know what she’ll say.”

“Even if she doesn’t want to go, take her with you. It will be a good memory. Don’t regret it later.”

“Well…”

Thump.

“Trust me and go. Please. Okay?”

It was the first time Yoo-hyun held his hand and asked him.

Feeling his sincere brother, Nadoha couldn’t say anything more.

“Geez. Then I’ll finish this work and go.”

“You’re doing it again.”

“Really. I feel like I’ll be more comfortable that way.”

“Okay. I got it. I’ll find someone to take care of your grandmother’s store.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll take care of it myself.”

“I’m worried, that’s why. Sigh. I wish you were like Jaehui and just let go of the company and everything.”

Nadoha’s personality was such that if he left him alone, he would fall into work again as if nothing had happened.

Yoo-hyun sighed and muttered, and Nadoha clapped his hands.

“Right. When is Jaehui coming back?”

“She still has some time left. Why?”

“I feel bad that I couldn’t take care of her.”

“What did you fail to take care of?”

“When you went to Europe with Da-hye, Jaehui came to the gym. She said she was bored and wanted to work out with me, but I was too busy.”

Jaehui went to the gym?

She was very envious of Da-hye, who worked out hard, so she might have tried it once.

But she didn’t seem to be the type to stick around for long.

Yoo-hyun remembered the news he had heard at that time and chuckled.

“No wonder. She was bored and hooked up with a guy.”

“Huh? She has a boyfriend?”

“I don’t think he’s a boyfriend, but…”

Yoo-hyun was about to say something.

Knock knock knock.

Jung Min-kyo appeared with a knock on the door.

Yoo-hyun moved to a nearby tent bar with him.

A round iron table had a pancake and a bottle of soju on it.

Click.

Yoo-hyun opened the soju bottle and asked.

“Did you feel like having a drink?”

“I just wanted to drink with you for a long time.”

“That’s true. It’s been a long time.”

It was the first time they drank soju together since Jung Min-kyo took over Aiwon.

Yoo-hyun was busy preparing for Reverb, but Jung Min-kyo was especially busy.

Glug glug.

He emptied his first glass and fiddled with the soju glass.

His expression was very serious, unlike before.

“Sometimes I wonder. What if I had refused when you asked me to talk at the coffee shop?”

“Why do you think that?”

“Then I wouldn’t be like this. I still don’t know if this is right for me.”

“Don’t say that. You’re doing well, what are you talking about?”

“Doing well. Everyone is suffering because a useless person is leading the company.”

Jung Min-kyo, who was an apartment security guard, became a representative at Yoo-hyun’s suggestion.

It wasn’t easy to wear clothes that didn’t fit him.

“Do you feel a lot of pressure?”

“To be honest, yes. I thought I was only doing security work when I took over Aiwon.”

“But you didn’t refuse Hansung’s offer, did you?”

“I initially contracted for simple security work. I didn’t know it would grow so big that I couldn’t handle it.”

Yoo-hyun nodded at Jung Min-kyo’s words.

“The work has grown a lot.”

“Too much. It’s beyond my control.”

Was it because of the alcohol?

He showed his weak side without hesitation, even though he had been busy securing contracts with Hansung and other apartments.

Glug glug.

Jung Min-kyo filled his empty glass and opened his mouth.

“In that sense, you are amazing.”

“What do you mean?”

“You left a company that others envy at a young age and pursued your dream.”

“I’m just stumbling along, not pursuing a dream.”

“No. It’s amazing to challenge yourself. You’re so different from me, who only ran away.”

Jung Min-kyo looked at Yoo-hyun, who was free and courageous.

He had enough drive to attract foreign investment and acquire a security company, and enough ability to revive a failing company with a vision of smart security.

On the other hand, Yoo-hyun had a different thought.

“Your father is also amazing.”

“Me?”

“Yes. You turned a failing company around in a year.”

“That’s because the employees did well.”

“No. You made them do well. I can tell by the changed look in their eyes. They are working hard not to fall behind the developing company.”

Jung Min-kyo did his best, even though he started the job late in life.

He tried to bring out the best results, and that stimulated the employees and made them stick together.

He could have been shaken by the sudden growth, but Jung Min-kyo took care of the employees carefully and made the organization solid.

Thanks to that, Aiwon was able to stand on its own without Yoo-hyun’s intervention.

Jung Min-kyo reached out his hand.

“Maybe. I learned more from the employees. And I gained more.”

“We’re growing together.”

“Together…”

As he recalled the path Aiwon had walked, Yoo-hyun told him sincerely.

“Thanks to your hard work now, everything will be fine. You will enjoy the wonderful results with your employees.”

“…”

“You deserve it.”

At Yoo-hyun’s continued words, Jung Min-kyo scratched his head awkwardly.

“Geez… If you keep praising me like that, I can’t say anything weak.”

“Then let’s have a drink.”

“Okay. I don’t know about anything else, but I’m confident about this.”

Clang.

The two smiled as their glasses clashed.

The conversation deepened as the empty bottles piled up.

In the heated atmosphere, Yoo-hyun casually brought up a topic.

“I want to ask you for some advice.”

“Advice? Is it about Da-hye?”

“No. It’s about work.”

“What is it?”

Jung Min-kyo straightened up and Yoo-hyun made a scenario.

“Some important companies will move into a building. A data center that manages important data will also move into the building. And…”

He included the story he had shared with Nadoha in the detailed explanation.

-Brother, data security will be more important in the future. I think it’s the right direction to build our own server and link all our data from now on.

Aiwon’s security information, Mirinae Securities’ financial information, With’s personal information, Reverb’s revenue information, etc.

He didn’t mention the names, but he conveyed enough information about the companies that manage sensitive data and the servers that will soon move into the building, and asked for advice.

Jung Min-kyo asked.

“It sounds like the building is quite large.”

“Yes. I think it’s slightly smaller than half of Hansung Tower.”

“Hmm, the building owner must have a lot of worries.”

“In what way?”

“They have to manage very important data. They need a high level of security management for that. The existing building management company won’t do.”

Jung Min-kyo hit the nail on the head, and Yoo-hyun leaned forward and asked.

“What would be the best way to do it?”

“You need to build a proper security system first. I realized that when I collaborated with Hansung. It’s not for nothing that big companies spend money on security.”

“So you need a professional security company.”

“That’s right. For example…”

Jung Min-kyo gave a concrete example based on his experience.

He explained in detail how to manage the building as well as the simple security work, comparing it to the apartment security work he had done.

He seemed to have the picture already drawn in his head.

‘As expected.’

Yoo-hyun smiled inwardly and revealed his intention.

“It sounds like Aiwon would be perfect for it.”

“Perfect? How can we manage such a building? We’re already overwhelmed with Hansung.”

It would be different if they managed it from outside, but it was a different story if they were inside the building.

Yoo-hyun made another suggestion.

“What if the building rents you an empty office for free? You need to expand your office anyway.”

“Where is the location?”

“Gwanghwamun.”

“Gwanghwamun? Isn’t that where you are?”

“Yes. It’s the same building.”

“Really…”

Blink.

He stopped moving as if frozen, and Yoo-hyun asked him.

“Just in case, I’m telling you, I acquired it with the additional investment from the foreign investor I told you about last time.”

“You, really acquired it?”

“Yes. You can use the second floor of the building. The office space is about three times larger than now, so you’ll have more room.”

“No, wait a minute.”

Jung Min-kyo reached out his hand as he came to his senses, and Yoo-hyun grabbed it.

“Please help me. I think I’ll have less trouble if Aiwon takes care of the security.”

“That’s not something you can say so easily.”

“Then think about it and let me know. If you can’t do it, I’ll look for another company.”

Look for another place when Aiwon is there?

That was nonsense.

Seeing Yoo-hyun’s sparkling eyes, Jung Min-kyo raised his hand to his forehead.

“Geez, last time you did this over coffee.”

“Come on, let’s have a drink.”

Squeak.

Yoo-hyun smiled and lifted his glass.
