THE UNKNOWN

~1~


Kim Tae Hyung, 23-years-old-guy, who was born in a very wealthy family. His father, Kim Tae-hoon, is the owner of the famous Kim Company, which is famous throughout South Korea.

Kim Tae Hyung has two twin sisters, Kim Tae-Mi and Kim Mi-Hye, and although he is the eldest of his siblings, he is the only male, so he is the one who is the most being loved, the worst, ‌and the most wasteful of money.

Both younger twin sisters are 2 years younger than Kim Tae-hye. Among those two twins, Kim Tae-Mi, who is a few minutes older than Mi-hye, is a talented and passionate artist. Supported by her super rich father Mr. Kim, she is now very successful, and almost everyone knows her in the whole South Korea. A private art gallery has been opened for Kim Tae-Mi, and some of them are sold at auction.

My younger sister, Kim Mi-hye, is very fond of writing, has a fresh imagination, and is very good at writing. She also became successful with the support of her father Mr.Kim, and the books she wrote were very popular and sold very well. Despite their young age, both sisters excel in their hobbies and are comfortable with their jobs.

Unlike those two sisters, Kim Tae Hyung doesn't even know what his passion is. When he was in school, he didn't study very well, he just barely passed. Being the only boy among his siblings, his parents instilled in him the idea that he would inevitably inherit his father's company one day. So, he just spent his student life happily.

Since there is no one to compete with him, one day or another, his father's company will definitely come into his hands, so Kim Tae Hyung has any worry.
He doesn't usually mess around with women, but he pursues pleasure and considers himself as a straight.

The two younger sisters, are only 21 years old, but because of their parents scolding Kim Tae Hyung every day, they are unable to focus on their works. So, They both moved to another house. As a result, only his parents and Kim Tae Hyung were left at home.

In the evening, in the dining room of Kim's house...

'Yeobo... take my son upstairs to eat....'

('Yeobo' is kinda like the nickname between husband and wife in Korea. If you are a big fan of K-drama, you may probably have heard this word.)

'Well... I'll go and call you...'

'And Yeobo, I'm feeling strange today..'

'Yes, Yeobo... I noticed.. he didn't go out all day.. since he woke up in the morning, he was whining and whining… and since he told me that he didn't want to eat in the afternoon, I had to coax him to eat boiled rice..'

'Usually we are scolding him..
and now being silent like this... Well... It's kind of... Ugh..(sigh)..
What's wrong with my son??.. Love affairs??..'

'I guess it's not concerning love... My son doesn't have anyone he likes or is dating.. He promised me that he will tell me if he finds someone he loves...'

'Today isn't September 1st... What's really going on??...'

'We just have to hope that it would not be something special, yeobo..'

'It's worrying... Yeobo...
Ugh..(sigh)..
Let it be.. .take my son to eat...And let's ask him about that imperceptibly when he arrives..'

'Yes, Yeobo...I will go and call him...'
.
.
.
.
.
.
'Heels 💢 Heels 💢 Heels 💢

'Tae......Let's have dinner..'

'Qi*...(Sound of door opening)...'

'Son... Tae... let's eat...'

'But…'
My little son answered with a faint voice without a smile.

My winter bear... 
what's really going on..??.
Oh, I'm so worried..
What is bothering my baby?

.
.
.
When the mother and son arrived at the dining room, they sat down on each seat.

God, I was worried about whether my son is off his food or not...
But, he eats well now...
I am so glad...
I think his mood is a little better than before...

Even though Kim Tae Hyung is quietly eating,
the two parents are looking at each other and exchanged glances and talking with look.

'Ahem... Tae..'

'But..'

'Are you okay .... because this's the first time you're eating together with us..'

'I'm Okay, Omma...'

As usual, he never eats a full meal with his family at Kim house.
When he wakes up in the morning, he takes a shower, spends the day outside with his friends, has all breakfast, lunch and dinner outside.

Sometimes he doesn't even sleep at home. Being spoiled by his parents, he is bad like that. Therefore, the two parents are always scolding him. Today, the two parents are very happy to have a meal together with their son, but they don't dare to show their joy because of their son's unpleasant face.

'Son...Tae Hyung... Do to learn about your company...I don't want to see you ruin like that...Even your younger sisters are able to earn a lot of money with their own jobs..'

This is what I say every time I meet my son..
I don't want to see people looking down on my son anymore….
I can't accept what they are saying about my son as a damaged child, who is not worth to be born in this family…

'I know.. and I am going to learn..'

'Hey...really?...'

My son always gets angry when I start talking about my company.
Isn't it like that this time?...
I'm happy, but are there any reasons to accept it easily??..

'I really mean it..Appa...'

('Nae' means 'yes', 'Omma' means 'mother' and 'Appa' means 'father' in Korean. I think that you guys will understand that's why, I don't explain word forward.)

'Ah... by the way... when do you think you will start doing it?..'

'Before I start work, I want to visit my grandma..'

'Grandma???....Why!?...'

'It's been more than ten years I haven't seen grandma...and I dreamed about my grandmother last night...and I really miss her....After I visit to my her, I will definitely start working...'

'I can't!...Ah, I can't allow it!...'

'Why?.. Why can't I be allowed to visit my grandma??..'

'If I said you can't , you can't !..'

'Ha*... Then I can't do a job at your company!!..."

Kim Tae Hyung stopped eating, got up from his chair and went back to his room angrily.


'I think my son has lost his temper .. he didn't even finish his meal .. He's going to be hungry at night...'

'Your son still hasn't lost his behavior!.. If he doesn't want to be himself, he'll be angry... that's all he knows... He's not a child, but his manners just like a child!...'

'Our son is just like that, Yeobo…'
.
.
.
.
.
At that time, Kim Tae-hoin, who went back to his bedroom in a fit of anger, was angry and pounding his pillow with his fists.
And sounds of displeasure came out of his mouth.

(pillow be like-'What's wrong with me😭' )

Why can't Appa give me permission??...
I definitely have to go…
To know about the mess in my head
Must go there…

Kim Tae Hyung was thinking about how to convince his Appa to accept.
But he got no ideas.
So, he decided to use the phone.
After a while while using the phone, since he had eaten a small amount of rice, his stomach started beeping and beeping.

He looked at the clock.

Ohh, it is half past ten.
Well... Appa tend to go to bed early, so by this time he may have be already asleep..
I have to go to the kitchen...
There will be something to eat…

Kim Tae Hyung came downstairs quietly
As he approached the kitchen, he heard a noise from the living room.

He had such a curious instinct, so he forgot that he was hungry and went to the bathroom to eavesdrop.

'Yeobo, please allow my son..'

It looks like Omma is trying to convince Appa to give permission..
Hehe...I really only have Omma on my side…

'I can't...what if it happens again like before??...'

like before???...
When??...

'At that time, my son was still young, so it was an illusion... Many years have passed... now my son is not young anymore.

What??...
What are they really talking about??...

'I can't bear to be told that my son is crazy, Yeobo..'

Huh??...Who called me crazy?..
If I punch all those who say I am crazy, they won't be able to get up.
Huan*... I am Kim Tae Hyung...bad guy...
Btw, I don't remember what happened with me!...

'Let him go, Yeobo... How can I reassure my son?... I can't.. But I trust him..He is strong enough to solve hurdles ... This time, everything will be okay…'

Omaa looks like she is going to come out, so Tae slips quickly..

Unfortunately, she sees him..

'Come on!....'

'Ah.. Omma... Why I come down is not to eat something.. and I hear nothing and I know anything... really!.
Gwi*...(a sound coming out from the stomach)..'

'Smirk*... even though your stomach is making noise, you still want to lie...'

'Hee..'
He uses a boxy smile.

'Aigoo..My little Tae is hungry...come...Omma will prepare you to eat..'

'Nae, Omma…'
.
.
.
While Kim Tae Hoin was eating..

'Tae,...Appa has given you permission to go to your grandma..'

'Huh...really, Omma??..'

'Well...yes...when does you want to go.??..'

'Tomorrow...hee..'

'Oh... this child… okayy.. I'll prepare the package for tomorrow after you has eaten...'

'Nae...Hee..'

Since he is allowed to be what he wants, he smiles brightly...
As yeobo said..
Although my son is 23 years old, his mind is like a child...
.
.
.
.
.
Kim Tae Hyung returns to his room when his stomach is full. And also Omma followed to prepare the package for tomorrow morning.
.
.
.
Omma and Tae came to the bedroom,

'Tae, how long do you think you will stay?..'

'Hee... about two months...'

'Well, then, Omaa will prepare for you a two-month package...'

'Gomawoe…(thanks)...'
.
.
.
Omma fixed the package and went back...
I laid down in bed and got ready to sleep..

Even as I prepare to sleep, what comes to my mind are the words said by Appa and Omma in their room…
What happened when I was young??..
I really can't think...why can't I remember??..
My head is full of riddles..
If there is a puzzle, surely there is an answer.
I definitely have to figure it out..

Although I wanted to remember about the past, I fell asleep without knowing how to fall asleep while thinking about it...

When I wake up in the morning, it is half past 6.
I prepared everything for showering and had breakfast with Omma, Appa.
Then I put the packages and gifts for Grandma in the car..

'Tae... take care of everything…'

'Nae…Grandma..'

'Be sure, Tae..'
Saying that, Omma comes and kisses my cheek..

'But...'

'When you come back, you have to work, Tae..'

'Yes, I am a man Appa, I keep my promise…'

'I have added the location to the GPS...your grandma's place will be on the outskirts of Daegu..if you're not comfortable while going, call me...'

'Yes,..Appa..'

Then I get into the car.
I start the car and get ready to go.

'Omma!..Appa!.. I'm going..'

'Son.. take care and drive carefully the car..'

'But…'
Saying that, I head to Daegu town where my grandma is.

Is it just me thinking?...
Omma's face is not good..
Because she is closer to me than my two sisters..
She looks sadder now than when youngersisters left...
Of course I know...
also, Appa doesn't want to laugh, but he is smiling with a fake smile..
I feel bad...
Is this happening because of some other reason?..
Ah...noo..do not overthink!..
They are being sad because they have to part with me about two months..
Let's think like that, Tae Hyung….
.
.
.
.
Looking at the moving car until it disappeared from view, Kim Tae Hyung's parents were filled with sadness and anxiety.

'Will he be fine, yeobo??...'

'My son is an adult...he can handle it...'

'It's like the house has changed without my son... My son hasn't been gone for a long time, but I miss his little jingle sounds...(crying)..'

Tae's Omma is unable to control her tears.
Tae's Appa patted his wife's shoulder and comforted her.

My son, may everything be fine...
Appa believe you..
My son is not like what others say...
I pray that you can find the answer..
.
.
.
The weather is a bit gloomy today...
Wasn't it sunny in the morning??...

The closer I got to Dagu, the more my left breast hurt.
I want to cry...
I really want to cry...
What is happening to me??..
Why do I want to cry for no reason??..
Why really??..
A tear fell down my cheek without being able to control …

At that time
james**
Suddenly there is lightning, the sky turns black and rain begins to pour down heavily.

Everything is strange...
I think there are more mysteries than I thought..
I really want to know so much that I can't wait..
In the thick of the rain, eagerly anticipating what will happen next..
I continued my journey excitedly...

Wait, Dagu City...
Because this handsome is coming to you …
