#7. Hoseok Kim, the youngest son of the heroic family
BIG 7 Hospital.
As a term referring to the 7 large-scale tertiary general hospitals in Korea,
Hospitals included in this list are selected based on revenue and number of beds.
And among the selected hospitals, there is one hospital that boasts the most overwhelming sales.
[Academy Medical Center Affiliated Hospital]
Aka Academy Center. Or a hospital called a center.
This facility, which is also an affiliate of the Medical Center that trains medical heroes, has always boasted overwhelming sales.
The secret of sales was simple.
This treatment facility is completely free of charge for cadets who are candidates for heroes, but requires brutally expensive treatment for civilians and those who are already active as heroes. Sales were inevitably high because the number of patients visiting the place was endless.
It was natural.
In addition to ultra-luxury facilities, it is equipped with only the best equipment and the best manpower.
The rich, whose health is more important than money, have no choice but to visit this place as their top priority.
But… There was one place that even such wealthy people felt burdened about, and that was the VIP hospital room.
And a man has just finished entering the VVIP room, which is one step above the VIP room.
It’s not even the emergency room.
It’s not even a normal hospital room.
It wasn’t just a VIP hospital room.
VVIP room.
It is not a hospital room that you can enter just because you have money.
You can only enter the room if you have power, honor, power, or something comparable to it.
Also, there are only 5 rooms in this room.
There are many functions of this VVIP room, but among them, there is one that is the most important.
‘Absolute confidentiality.’
Only trained medical personnel are allowed to enter this ward.
They prioritize confidentiality about patients to the extent that it is safe to assume that they do not have eyes and ears.
This guarantee of confidentiality was the right that patients admitted to the VVIP ward could enjoy.
The story we talked about here, and the patient’s condition. Because nothing leaks out.
Illegal treatment. That could be done here in secret, without anyone knowing.
“Check your vitals and inject advanced potions. As soon as the condition improves, healer-type heroes will also be put in.”
“Yes, sir.”
“Anyone other than you who wants to enter can ask me for permission. Got it?”
“I will.”
The patient’s name is Han Seong-jin.
This is the name of the person currently being seen by the director of the center hospital.
He was specially hospitalized by the president of the academy.
‘No problem should happen.’
Strength, honor, power. The president of the academy with all the money.
The director of the hospital thought it was no big deal to have his head blown off once he ordered it.
No, it would be fortunate if only the head flew off. Everything that had been built could crumble.
Because of this, it was necessary to restore the health of this patient, whom the chairman had specially hospitalized.
‘If we do well, we can turn this into an opportunity.’
The chairman made a request.
Even though he was retired, he was a person who went up to the highest level of heroism.
In other words, he is one of the people who reached the pinnacle of power in Korea.
If that kind of person is enough to ask for a favor, what kind of position should it be?
The director of the hospital thought that if she made a connection with the man in front of her, she might be able to change her life.
At that time.
Someone entered the hospital room.
“What? I should have told you not to enter the hospital room without my permission….”
“Ah. Sorry. However… Was this a place where you couldn’t enter without permission from the hospital director?”
“Oh, no.”
The hospital director looked at the other person in a cold sweat.
This person was also in a position that he did not dare to deal with.
“… Hmm. You are the first person to see Did your father ‘ask’ you to look closely?”
“… That’s right.”
She is the first daughter of the president of the academy.
Kim Yu-ha, a senior hero.
She gave a deep smile to Han Seong-jin who was lying down.
“Huh. Is this the first time you’ve been interested in this?”
***
Intermediate Hero Kim Hoseok.
He was in his early 30s and was a promising youngster in the mid-level hero.
Advanced. He’s a promising guy who might even be able to become a superlative hero.
Maybe it was obvious.
Because he was born into a family of historical heroes.
Also, his father was a superlative hero.
Top level hero Kim Yong-jin.
Although he is now retired, it does not change the fact that he rose to the peak as a hero.
‘What do you do when you become strong? It’s not like I’m going to inherit the family.’
Although Kim Hoseok was born with good blood, he did not bother to become strong.
Behind that, there was resentment towards the family.
This is because his father, Kim Yong-jin, declared that he would hand down most of his family and other properties to his talented son.
Kim Ho-seok also has a chance to inherit the family line as Kim Yong-jin’s bloodline. But he was the youngest.
Three older brothers. Had two sisters.
The age difference was also formidable. Inheriting a family name? It was good. It’s like a dream.
That’s why I only dreamed and quit.
Because dreams are good when they are dreams.
‘I’m going to have fun. After all, isn’t being strong just to live a comfortable life? Just live well from now on. I have a good family background, and I have a lot of money. He became a hero with his talent… Okay. It should be. I don’t want to be photographed by my older brothers and sisters.’
Abandoning the dream of family succession, he became a hero, but he was not greedy for achievements.
That’s why he never volunteered to go on a mission.
Although I continued to train to become stronger.
He has an essential mission and the villains and gates he encounters by chance. He solved only those things and built up his track record.
That’s how he rose to the level of a mid-level hero. Luckily, it was pretty fast.
His father, Kim Yong-jin, put him in a temporary instructor position at the academy, but he is free to commute.
He doesn’t even go to work if he’s not called.
It was for that reason that Kim Yong-jin called him today. It’s not going to help you take the test, go to work.
“Hoseok.”
“Yes. Father.”
“I knew your will well from before. Okay. He must be acting like that because he has no intention of inheriting the family.”
He said he had no fingers that wouldn’t hurt from biting.
Kim Hoseok was also his finger. Even if you don’t listen and stop talking.
“Above, how many older brothers and sisters do you think I will compete with?”
“So, even when you were the youngest, didn’t you take care of everything? Because you made it clear that you had no intention of competing.”
Hoseok Kim had many deviations.
However, there was never a single time that Kim Yong-jin was really angry with him and punished him.
However, Kim Ho-seok’s older brothers and sisters did not. Even a minor deviation received Kim Yong-jin’s wrath.
This was not favoritism.
It was understanding. Maybe it’s protection.
Because I can understand why his behavior is the way it is. Kim Yong-jin was also born as the youngest.
The difference is that Kim Yong-jin was Heungseon Daewongun, and Kim Ho-seok was just an idiot.
He just believed. One day, that wretch will reveal its claws. Kim Hoseok was also a child, so I just wanted to give him a chance.
“Should I give away my property early? Will that work?”
“… Father. That doesn’t seem like much.”
Therefore, Kim Yong-jin made a suggestion.
If you really just want to play and eat. I promise to inherit the property in advance.
This meant, in other words, that Kim Ho-seok would be officially removed from the succession plan.
‘If you don’t have the slightest bit of greed for the position of successor, he will accept it at once. Then I don’t care anymore.’
If Kim Ho-seok accepted this offer, he was going to let him go that way and give away his property. Big enough for him to be satisfied.
However, Hoseok Kim did not readily answer.
Kim Yong-jin could recognize his son’s desire in his silence. After all, Kim Ho-seok was also Kim Yong-jin’s child.
“Why? Are you concerned about giving up the position of heir?”
“… ….”
There is a saying that one more rice cake is given to an ugly person.
Kim Yong-jin deeply sympathized with those words.
Because when I look at Kim Hoseok, his heart always hurts.
But he didn’t even have a chance to give the rice cake.
Because he didn’t even want to enter the family heir structure.
“Heh heh. Heh heh heh… It wasn’t that I wasn’t greedy at all. Okay. There is no way there is no greed. What kind of seat is this?”
“No.”
“Isn’t it? Really?”
“Yes.”
“Tsk. You don’t even know what my guy is thinking. Do you think a tiger can live by grazing?”
But he didn’t even give me rice cakes.
“Even though my mind was turned, it turned properly….”
When Kim Yong-jin thought of what had just happened, he felt his head light up.
This is an era where heroes are at the center.
Power, honor, power, money. A hero who can take it all.
But they are all things money can buy.
What do you mean?
All of the above meant that they were useless in the face of overwhelming money and financial power.
I don’t know if Kim Ho-seok knew him and became close with him.
But he didn’t care about that. The important thing is that even Kim Yong-jin is a difficult person to handle.
This is a coincidence, but if done well, it can turn into a blessing rather than a misfortune.
Telephone consolation. Kim Yong-jin decided to take advantage of this situation.
“Kim Hoseok!”
Kim Yong-jin worked hard.
Although he is said to be an old man in the back room who has retired from service, he is a person who has risen to the top.
Kim Hoseok felt the nerves of his whole body go on edge at his cry.
The sense of being awakened was imprinted in Kim Ho-seok’s mind.
“Ah, father. Why are you like this all of a sudden?”
He turned to his father, flustered, and asked.
I thought he would just scold and move on as usual… He couldn’t have imagined that he would be so angry.
“Do you know what you did?”
“For what?”
“Yes. You guys don’t know what happened.”
Kim Yong-jin shook his head and continued his words.
This guy doesn’t know that Han Seong-jin is currently hospitalized.
That’s how much of a headache it hurts….
“Seongjin Han. Do you not even know this name?”
“Sungjin? Why does Sungjin’s name appear? Maybe it’s because of being brought into the academy test area… ?”
“If it was simply because of that, I wouldn’t even bring it up… The guy is now hospitalized at the center. Besides, he almost passed out.”
Center.
It was the abbreviation of the hospital attached to the Academy Medical Center.
“… Yes?”
“It was good to be friends with Han Seong-jin. Nice… Okay. Aren’t you a rich guy? There’s nothing to lose by being friendly. Do you know Even bean curd will fall next to you!”
“… I never asked for that.”
“Listen first.”
It has become a world where money dominates everything.
Everything is driven by money.
Even an honorable hero dies of starvation without money.
Power is also attracted to the magnet of money.
In such a world, Han Seong-jin was the one who swept the money. Very poisonous tremendously
“Not too long ago, the vice president pulled out his sword.”
Hoseok Kim blankly nodded.
Because of that, three high-ranking heroes and over ten mid-level heroes took off their clothes.
It was a proper sword dance. Originally, it is impossible even if he is the vice president.
When it comes to high-level heroes, there is a strong upper line that stands in line.
“That knife. It was given to you by a fellow named Han Seong-jin.”
Kim Yong-jin’s words were difficult for Kim Ho-seok to accept.
According to what he said, doesn’t it sound like Han Seong-jin, who is only a close younger brother of Kim Ho-seok, is acting as the vice president?
But what was even more embarrassing was the words that followed.
“This is the guy who shakes the vice president in his hand. If a guy like that makes up his mind and moves properly, won’t he be able to destroy our family?”
Kim Yong-jin did not utter any more words after this.
“… Yes?”
Even though Kim Hoseok asked back as if he really didn’t understand. He was still silent.
‘No, does that make sense? Only an individual can destroy one of the famous hero families, the Changcheon Kim family? It wasn’t just money… ?’
Kim Ho-seok’s head froze at the unbelievable story.
Then it went back.
He is said to be an idiot, but he is also a man from the Changchun Kim family. He was gifted with a brilliant brain.
Only then did Kim Hoseok realize his father’s intentions.
The real meaning of being hospitalized at the center.
The hidden intention he called himself.
‘Wait. Conversely, if I make Seong-jin on my side, I could eat the family… ? hahahaha. Ha ha ha! Such crazy.’
Kim Yong-jin threw a rice cake to Kim Ho-seok, an ugly child.
A rice cake that is so big that you could choke while eating it.
