“Id send them off.”

Maru said to Daemyung, who was next to him.

“Competing against someone full of talent is a stupid thing to do.

If you overpace yourself to catch up to a person running on a different track than you, then youre bound to end up exhausted.

Thats why you have to send them ahead.

When you see geniuses running far ahead of you, you have to look at them and learn what you can, instead of actually trying to run next to them.”

“I guess thats one way of thinking about it.”

“Youll get hurt if you try to chase them.

I dont like the sayingknow your place, but there is definitely a need to keep that in mind to a certain extent.”

“Dont you want to try going against them once”

Maru turned his head to the left.

It was Jiseok who said those words.

“A genius is not a genius in all aspects, are they There should be something theyre bad at.

Dont you think you would be able to find a way to win if you dig into that part”

“Maybe, but theres no need to clash, is there I clearly know that Im going to get hurt, so I should avoid it if I can.”

“There are definitely things you can earn by being defeated.”

“If you cant take care of the aftermath of the defeat, then you get into trouble.”

“Challenge always comes with the risk of failure.

It might hurt, but its also an opportunity to change yourself, isnt it Whether its a genius or not, you might hurt your pride if you suck up to them, but youll be able to gain a lot of things too.”

“Thats how you become Icarus.

If you have wings that let you enjoy yourself, then you should know how to be satisfied with them.

The moment you seek to play with those above you and fly higher, what little you might have will be gone.”

“If you dont have wings, you can just ride the plane.”

“What am I even talking about with you Why dont you just ride a spaceship then”

“Spaceships are good.

But you know the saying: A genius cannot win against a hard worker, and a hard worker cannot win against those that enjoy.”

“When you call somethingtalent, it means that its beyond the scope that can be covered by hard work alone.

Its just like how I cant become Michael Jordan no matter how hard I try.

Above all, those who have the talent are probably hard workers as well.

To catch up to a genius who is also a hard worker and enjoys their profession, you just have to give up on competing and chase from behind.”

“I can win against Michael Jordan.”

“Why dont you say that again after winning against a neighborhood kid”

“Youre way too pessimistic.”

“And youre way too optimistic”

Jiseok, who was listening, suddenly ran forward.

Maru looked at what he was up to, and it turned out that he was approaching an elderly.

“He hasnt changed.”

“He looks like a polite kid.”

“To be precise, hes a meddlesome guy.”

Jiseok, who was talking to the elderly, returned while scratching his head.

“He told me hes not old enough to receive help yet.”

“Elderly people who are still healthy often dont like being helped.

So do something about that meddlesome personality of yours.

Itll come back to haunt you later.”

“Even if its like that, I cant help it.

Also, wouldnt that grandpa be happy to see someone like me He might say something likekids these days are so cocky, but there are at least boys like him.

He might also say stuff likethe future of this country is still bright.”

“As if you werent delusional already.”

“Im delusional No way.

Im just seeing the world in a slightly better light.

Though, I kinda stand out because youre way too pessimistic.

Daemyung, dont you think so too”

“It hasnt even been that long since you two met and youre trying to split us up already Park Daemyung, dont get influenced by him.

Optimist Virus doesnt have a cure.”

As soon as he said those words, Maru looked at Jiseok and chuckled.

Leaving aside what he was saying, this fellow was definitely an interesting fellow.

The way he trusted those that gave him goodwill was also rather manly, so Maru looked at him as a good guy.

Of course, he managed to reduce the RPM of the motor behind his mouth.

“Should I not have called him”

“Oh, no.

When else would I meet an actor besides you whos on TV” Daemyung said.

Jiseok brightened up and got closer.

Maru, who was pushed to the back, saw Jiseok and Daemyung putting arms around each others shoulders and laughing.

“Hey, its this way.”

He pointed at the building to their right as he called out to his two friends who were endlessly walking forward.

Jiseok nodded and turned.

“What is all that that youve brought with you” Maru asked as he looked at Daemyung and Jiseoks hands, which were holding large plastic bags.

“Some gifts.”

“I bought some light snacks.”

Light snacks huh - Maru shrugged as he looked at the plastic bag which was filled to the brim.

Perhaps it was okay since the fridge was empty anyway.

He climbed the stairs and stood in front of the door.

“Wait a sec.”

Maru opened the door and went inside first.

His father was currently living somewhere else.

He went to a factory in another province for a few months because of a new production line, and his mother would cook some food and bring them to him every weekend.

Last week, the entire family went there and had a family meeting.

After seeing the news about a migratory bird father on TV, she kept texting every single night.

After scanning the empty kitchen, he went to Badas room and knocked on the door.

“You there”

Bada slightly opened the door.

“Yeah”

“I brought a couple of friends so it might get a little noisy.

Were going to watch videotapes in the living room.”

“Okay.

Ill be in my room so consider me non-existent.

Also, are the people coming handsome”

“They look just like me.”

“Oh my word.

How can they live such sad lives Should I get some tissues ready”

“Maybe.”

Bada grinned before closing the door after saying that she would stay quiet.

Maru sighed a little before opening the door.

“Is your family inside”

“My parents arent here, but there is a sensitive high school girl, who Im worried about since I wonder who will take her as a bride in the future.”

“What the, you had a sister”

“Didnt I tell you”

Jiseok chuckled before coming inside.

“I think I told you a lot of things, like how I have a brother in the military, that I dont have a good heart, and that I dont have a lot of friends due to transferring quite often.

What did you do while you listened to all of my history You didnt even let me know about your sister.”

“There wasnt any opportunity for me since you were confessing your sins all the time.

Well, now you know I have a sister.”

Jiseok twitched his eyebrows as though he didnt like it and grabbed Daemyung, who followed him in.

“Daemyung, did you know that Han Maru had a little sister”

“Y-yeah.

I did.”

“Wow, I feel betrayed now.

Daemyungs closer to you than I am, huh.”

Of course, duh - Maru replied before organizing the shoes the other two took off.

Jiseok was saying that he was disappointed, but his expression was all smiles.

In fact, it was Daemyung who was at a loss as he was without an understanding of what was going on.

“Just ignore most of his words.

Hes the type to say stuff without going through filters in his brain.”

“R-really”

Only then did Daemyung make a relaxed smile and sit down.

“Is your sister pretty”

“I was wondering when you were going to ask that.

Just think of my face, but with longer hair.”

“Oh my word.

Arent you being way too cruel to your little sister”

Jiseok spoke in a serious voice.

Just then, Badas room abruptly opened.

“Now thats not something I can pass.

Im much better than you, oppa.”

Bada moved out of the room.

Maru never believed that she would stay quiet in the first place, so Maru just looked at Bada before going to the kitchen.

“Ooh, you must be Marus sister”

“Yes.

Im that ugly Han Marus sister.”

“Youre quite pretty.

Maru was lying.”

“Right How do I look anything like him It makes me puke just thinking about it.”

Jiseok and Bada had something that clicked and got along even though this was their first meeting.

Daemyung just sat in front of the sofa neatly and was laughing dryly.

‘I guess this is the first time hes seeing her properly, huh.

Daemyung had seen Dowook on a date with Bada inside a bus and had seen her face through photos that Dowook took, but had never met her directly like this before.

He still became stiff in front of girls.

Maru brought some cold water for Daemyung.

“Its the first time youre seeing her directly, isnt it”

“Y-yeah.”

“Shes just as you heard, isnt she”

“T-true.”

“Dowook, that guy, he might look like that, but he has a deep heart.

Or, he must have betrayed his country in his previous life.

Man, I feel sorry for him whenever I think about how she makes him suffer.”

“She doesnt look that bad.”

“Really”

Daemyung didnt answer.

Bada, who was talking with Jiseok, stared at Daemyung.

Being conscious of that gaze, Daemyung turned his face away and Bada looked at him as though she had found something interesting.

“Han Bada, arent you going back inside already”

“I will.

But whats that”

Maru opened the plastic bag that Daemyung brought.

Inside were some snacks and drinks that he bought from the convenience store.

“Ill give her some to shut her up, okay”

After saying that to Daemyung, he threw a few snacks to Bada.

“Hes the one who bought it, so thank him.”

“Thank you, chubby oppa.”

Bada grinned before going to her room.

“I thought you were becoming okay since youre with Jiyoon all the time, but I guess you are still awkward around girls.”

“I dont think Ill ever get used to them.”

“Man, how are you ever going to go travelling together if youre like that”

Hearing the wordtravelling, Daemyung visibly flinched.

Oh His reaction was as though he had already made plans with Jiyoon.

“Whos Jiyoon”

At that time, Jiseok interrupted.

There was a possibility that they might get distracted so Maru quickly stood up and brought the videotapes.

“Oh, these are the ones you were talking about”

Jiseok picked up one of the videotapes and had a closer look at it.

“Why are you acting like someone who has never seen videotapes before”

“Its just been so long since I last saw one.

I rented quite a lot when I was young too.”

Daemyung had a similar reaction.

Now that they were used to CDs and downloading, videotapes had become a relic of their memories.

“So that genius actress is on this tape, right”

“Whether shes a genius or not, well have to see for sure.

Circumstantial signs all indicate that shes an incredible person, but there are cases where old memories are blown out of proportion.

So, well have to see for ourselves.”

He received the videotape that Jiseok was holding and put it in the VCR.

Meanwhile, Daemyung laid out some food on the table.

“Remember that you arent here to watch a film, but to study,” Maru said as he picked up the remote.

Both Jiseok and Daemyung turned serious and nodded.

Maru sat on the sofa and pressed the play button.

1988.

This was the year that Jung Haejoo and Lee Junmin met.

Wondering if the change that occurred within Haejoo was on this tape, Maru felt slightly nervous as he picked up a cup of water.

“Can I watch as well” At that moment, Bada opened the door and spoke.

She seemed to be bored by herself and peeked out.

“Were not watching a movie.”

“I know.

Ill quietly watch from the side.

Its a little awkward for me to stay in my room by myself, isnt it Eating by myself is also a bit boring.”

Maru pointed at the empty spot next to him while looking at Bada, who was waving a bag of snacks.

Bada tiptoed and walked over quietly before sitting down.

“Ooh, its on now.”

Color filled the monochrome screen, showing the familiar building.

Maru tensed his eyes at the same time the video started.

There was a man who was barely inside the frame.

He was wearing a suit that seemed to be worn-out and had a very bland expression.

President Lee Junmin.

He, who was in his thirties, was in the frame.

“Ah!”

Hearing an exclamation, Maru spat out a short breath before pausing the video.

After seeing that the video had stopped, he looked at Bada.

“What is it”

“I was wondering where I saw this oppa before.

Hes actually someone who was in the same sitcom as unni, right” Bada said as she pointed at Jiseok.

Jiseok thanked her for recognizing him.

“A celebrity.”

“Nah, Im no one that good.

Hm, should I give you an autograph”

“Ill be able to sell it for quite a lot once you become famous later, right”

“Of course.

Should I give you one Ive practiced mine, you know”

Maru looked at the two before making a thick smile.

“Would you two like to go to a corner Or be quiet and watch this”

“Well be quiet.”

Jiseok and Bada smiled awkwardly before looking down.

Maru glared at the two before grabbing the remote again.
