The Growth of Herz (Part 4)
Yeon Woo is 12 years old. In no time he became a 5th grader, a senior in elementary school.
He steadily grew older, but he spent it leisurely without doing anything special.
He still had to do homework from school, but it was a breeze for him with his mental age of 20.
I will leisurely enjoy this blissful childhood. It’s really nice not having any responsibilities when you’re young. This is the privilege of a minor.
He ate delicious food until he was full and slept soundly. Even if his mental age rose, at the moment he had a young body so tteokbokki and hamburgers were delicious.
Even though he gained a little more weight than other elementary school students, he was not worried.
Just a tenth of the exercise in his life as Jess will be able to create a subtle and flexible muscular body.
However, it was time to get started on preparing for his future in this world.
What kind of job should I have later? A scholar?
Yeon Woo shook his head from side to side.
I don’t want to aspire in academics. It’s not as interesting as studying as a magician in the other world.
But he didn’t want to be an athlete.
If I train properly and increase my physical strength and senses, I could become a baseball player, a football player, or a basketball player. Maybe I can relax and play golf. But I use my body plenty in the other world.
Having lived two lives, he has two life experiences.
He did not want to have his life on both sides to be too alike.
Is there anything new?
Yeon Woo thought calmly.
In this developed world, there are many things that he could do with his mind reading ability.
He could be a con artist that scams other people, and it was also possible to be a police officer or a psychologist.
You wouldn’t certainly become a psychologist by reading the other party’s mind, but it is advantageous to be able to discern their honest intentions. (Darknari: My dad’s a psychologist and he agrees very much so with this)
Could I be a cop and catch criminals? The working conditions aren’t good and the pay is poor, so it would be too much to devote myself to the country or society.
Even in the modern world, he could manage to live by steadily studying.
Keeping a stable life in one’s later years or even a rich life can be difficult, but if you are healthy, it’s not a bad life.
When compared to other worlds where people were sold as slaves from birth or had starved to death, there was a minimum welfare system.
The people’s happiness or freedom may be less likely than that…….
Rather than setting up a big goal, Yeon Woo decided to moderately prepare himself for each year.
As he becomes a junior high student, a high school student, and a college student, there will definitely be one or two things he would want to do.
Until then, he thought that living like an ordinary person would not be so bad.
If a burglar enters the house, I can break their limbs. If my siblings get hit by gangsters……. Well, I can make myself a bow and completely sweep them up. Life is simple.
Of course, he already has not been living with an ordinary mindset.
I think Cheol-Jae will control the backstreets when he grows up. Han-Jin seems to have recently changed his goal to a prosecutor.
A list of outstanding friends was also taken in advance.
Life is easier if you have a lot of distinguished friends.
He already realized that Korea is a society that prioritizes personal connections when he attended elementary school.
Jinsang has a good personality and is interesting. His appearance is neat and that guy would be a good actor. Seongman is about so-so, but his household is a real estate chaebol. Nothing is as reliable as land, and he’s an only child……. Huhuhu. Then Doyle is a little bit of a problem.(Darknari: chaebol is a large business conglomerate, typically a family-owned one.)
Doyle was the most difficult to predict among the children whom Yeon Woo was close to.
His father was engaged in a very special occupation, and when he read his thoughts through his line of destiny, he saw that he was a hit man. (Darknari: what is up with the friends he has been gathering?!)
He is not a half-hearted contractor acting in the back streets, at a young age he lived as a mercenary in the military of a foreign country, and he also received specialist training in a special facility.
No matter what happens, I shouldn’t fight with Doyle. If kids fight it could turn into adults fighting, so I’ll just let him hit me.
Doyle, of course, was quiet at school and didn’t make any trouble which was not at all different from his appearance.
Perhaps there were many similarities with Yeon Woo.
He is a child living in a different world than ordinary elementary school students.
If I could not read people’s thoughts, Doyle would have just been passed by as a normal child. And I might not have even remembered him afterwards.
School life was still comfortable, but at home it was rather noisy.
“Oppa-nim. Please help me with my art homework.” (Little sister)
“Don’t want to.” (Yeon Woo)
“Hyung. You know Seongmi. I’m going to write a confession letter to her. Can’t you just tell me a little how to write it?” (Little brother)
“Will not.” (Yeon Woo)
Yeon Yul, Yeon Tae-jin. (Darknari: they finally have names!)
My two younger siblings sometimes turn up and behave annoyingly.
“My teacher asked me to draw a picture of mom and dad! But I don’t know how to draw it. Please teach me a little oppa-nim. Ok?” (Yeon Yul)
“Draw two scarecrows.” (Yeon Woo) (Darknari: stick figures, I guess?)
“Eueeeng.” (Yeon Yul)
“I am going to confess to Seongmi this week and go out with her, help me hyung.” (Yeon Tae-jin)
“She goes to the bathroom, too.” (Yeon Woo)
“Keuuuk. I can’t! I never saw her go!” (Yeon Tae-jin)
“*Snort*. Then it could be severe constipation. And what is there to separate girls. She’ll just ask to buy a backpack from you. Nowadays they won’t even meet you if you cannot afford tteokbokki.” (Yeon Woo)
“Huuk!” (Yeon Tae-jin)
Yeon Woo brutally trampled on the innocence of his younger siblings.
His older brother, Yeon Jung-soo, was already a junior high student, but he was chewing gum and falling into a bad way.
Even after school, he returns late from hanging out with his friends and for some time he has been frequently skipping cram school.
“This unfortunate event arises when a working couple raises four children, and yet they can not watch over all of them. It’s not serious yet, so let’s wait and see if he recovers his senses.” (Yeon Woo)
Yeon Woo had a lot of margin for everything.
Compared to the training Jess is experiencing or the sense of fear caused by death, there is no great danger here.
Young children rarely die unless they get a particularly considerable illness.
He intended to leave it be, but he was determined to intervene if it was really urgent.
“It is so peaceful. If I don’t meet someone like a kidnapper or a rapist, I won’t get hit and have my bones broken.” (Yeon Woo)
Even though Doyle’s case is considered special with his father, what was really rare was Yeon Woo who lived in two worlds.
He was still 12 years old and he was looking forward to what kind of future he would be living.
Life as Jess was also the same. It was more exciting because it was a place where adventures, dreams, challenges, and risks coexist.
Even though he spent his time in reality freely, as soon as he crosses into Jess’s life he felt that the sound of the wind became vivid.
