83 episodes. Maybe it’s not?

I nodded silently.

For now, I’d rather hear Jessica’s thoughts than give my opinion first.

“Actually, because you are being recognized here, you may want to immigrate.”

“What do you think?”

“I… I honestly don’t know. I’ve never thought about it that far. I still have one more year left in college.”

Most will be like her.

A working holiday in Australia is literally a place of passing through experiences.

A momentary privilege that can be enjoyed as a 20-something.

Among them, there are cases where Yoohyeon, Kim Hamin, Shin Jeonghoon, etc. came out abroad to find a breakthrough at the end of their twenties, but like her, it is like a sabbatical.

A sabbatical year with the pretext of learning English and gaining foreign experience.

So, if possible, I will enjoy it in moderation and go back, but I do not intend to live here.

You can tell just by working holiday how hard it is for a stranger to settle down.

“Then I’ll give you some time, so will you seriously think about it?”

“But brother.”

“why?”

“As far as I know, you’re rich enough right now. Then you can live in Korea well with that money, but you want to live in Australia? All your family and friends are in Korea.”

Jessica is right.

Regardless of culture and language, the biggest problem is breaking up with people around me.

I knew it even better because I had worked in Seoul.

It’s only 4 hours away, but when you get hit by life, it feels like 400,000 light years, not 4 hours.

It means that in the first year of joining the company, I could go to my hometown or for holidays.

In my experience, when the body becomes distant, the mind also becomes distant, not only between men and women.

“As you said, there are families in Korea and best friends who spent my school days with me. But you know that?”

“……?”

“Everyone struggles to live. My father and mother do business from ten in the morning to one in the morning while smelling the oil, and the older sister… Ah, the human will pass. Why are you making a joke about Hell-Joseon Hell-Joseon? And some of my friends said they don’t know why they live. They say that they’re going to lose their minds as they go around the house, company, house, and company.”

“Where can I find someone who isn’t like that. All our seniors say that too.”

“So, I want to show people around me that Australia is relaxed. So I won’t be the only one living here, but I’m going to persuade them to bring them home as much as possible.”

I say this, but there is also my selfish greed.

Without them, the longing for homesickness will surely come.

I once heard

The disease does not get dull as time goes by.

Why don’t foxes die looking towards their hometown before they die?

It must be all because of the memories, memories with someone.

“If you are an older brother, you can help in many ways, but living abroad is difficult. What are you going to do if your relationship with your friends is broken by mistake?”

“People are having a hard time not because the environment is difficult.”

“……?”

“It is because there is no hope. If they have a goal they want, I will actively support them so that they can have hope that they can succeed.”

It is difficult to have hopes and goals because society does not tolerate failure.

Within the company, I was scorned to the point that one mistake could break my mentality.

If you try to do something outside,

If you fail, you’ll have to sit on the street.

If I fall, I’m sure I won’t be able to get up again.

If you fall behind, it’s over, so think again.

The words around them put people down.

Is there anything different about Australia?

Of course, it makes no difference.

It’s a place where everyone lives, so what’s the big difference?

However, no matter what you do, you will not listen to words that break your will, such as wearing the mask of worry and worry and just go to the company you work for, how much money you will make from that, will you not be ashamed of those around you if you say you do such a thing?

And there are special advantages as well.

From my own experience, Koreans are smarter than Australians or people from other countries and are good at everything.

It is not for nothing that Koreans are evaluated as sincere and smart.

“It sounds like you’ve made up your mind. Okay, I’ll give it some serious thought.”

“thank you.”

“What? I’m more grateful for saying that to me.”

“……?”

“Ho-ho, you mean that you take me seriously.”

“Huh? Have I always been serious?”

“Blood, serious. A person who jokes around every day.”

“What? I can’t do this. Seriously show me today? Huh?”

“Again, again. Again.”

I was arguing with Jessica after a long time, but suddenly a phone call came.

-Jin, are you back well?

“Yes, Bobby. It arrived today.”

– When it’s time, how about coming over to my house and having dinner together? Chris is also here.

“Can Jessica go with me?”

-Sure.

“Then I’ll do that.”

– Bond.

I hung up and turned to Jessica.

“Bobby wants to have dinner together, is it okay?”

“Chairman? It’s a bit burdensome, but I do it. He seems to have been waiting for my brother to come back.”

“Yeah, it’s enough for the two of us to spend our time together after eating…

His side tingled at the touch of a hand approaching as if he had been waiting.

“Don’t be kidding me!”

“Are you pinching so hard? Ah, I thought you were plucking flesh.”

“How do you get more and more smirk? It wasn’t like that when we first met.”

“Hey, it’s because it’s been a month since we met…”

“So, do you come up with your hands first? Don’t think about touching my body for a while!”

I thought as I watched her turn around and walk.

‘You seem a bit sensitive, is that that day?’

***

We headed straight to Bobby’s house.

The food was already prepared there.

Perhaps the helper at Bobby’s house prepared it.

A very simple dinner.

No, I have to be modest.

That’s a lot for inviting people.

Home cooking in Australia is not really tasty to look at or taste to eat.

Even if it originated from England, the country of shit taste, it is quite a multicultural country.

“Did it go well for you to go to the West?”

People in this room knew that I worked for Bearfax.

He had to be absent for a month, so he had to let him know due to his position as an outside director, and he willingly gave permission, regardless of what he was worried about.

“Yes. There will be no problems now.”

“Good. How long are you going to stay in Brisbane?”

“I’m thinking of going to Korea for a while in a few days.”

“Korea? Why suddenly?”

I told them my decision to emigrate to Australia on the spot.

And that he goes to discuss the matter with his parents.

“Heh heh, well thought out. I finally feel like you’re part of our family.”

It’s family….

Even if you say it like that, it warms my heart.

“By the way, Bobby, I have a question for you.”

“Tell me.”

“When you said you were working with Bearfax, why didn’t you ask anything and just let it go?”

I felt mine work again this time, but it doesn’t take a day or two to get things done.

It was probably because it was clear that a lot of time would be wasted in the future.

“Of course, it’s because it’s related to Bearfax.”

“……?”

“Henry Bearfax is the person who founded the Royal Casino Group and the P&B Group with Gary Parker, the president. There is not one or two people who want to make a kite with him, whether in business or in business. You can be the kite. I have no reason to give up.”

Wow, is it something Bobby recognizes as a tycoon in the business world?

Henry’s influence is felt again.

“Chris, how about Dark Star?”

“I won the class 6 race last week. Now that the class is graduation, I plan to compete mainly in the metro level.”

“Are you going to miss the Melbourne Cup this year?”

“Yes, the Melbourne Cup is 3 years old or older, so we have to plan for next year.”

“okay. How about Hellmaster? Leave it to Carlson and go straight west, we don’t know about it yet.”

“Even though Carlson was young, he had a pulpit. I heard that you take care of Hellmaster with utmost sincerity, and John once said that they are now inseparable.”

“Fortunately, he seems to be doing well.”

After talking about the ranch, he put down the wine glass Bobby was drinking and opened his mouth.

“Jessica, what do you plan to do next? Are you going to follow Jean to settle in Australia?”

“I’ve talked about it with my brother, but we haven’t decided yet.”

“I think the two of you get along well, so I’d like you to take a seat here too. I’ll help you with what you need.”

“……”

“I heard from Joshua that he does a pretty good job, so I can give him a supervisor position at Inham, so if you have an idea, let me know.”

“Thank you for your words, Bobby.”

“I’m not forcing you, so don’t be burdened.”

“yes.”

Jessica nodded her head with a seemingly invisible smile.

So, we spent a friendly time discussing the issue of whereabouts and horse racing.

Then Jessica suddenly opened her mouth to Chris with a slightly envious expression.

“I know it’s rude, but there’s something I want to ask you…”

“Please feel free to ask.”

“I’m sorry, but when did Chris start having discomfort in his legs?”

“Ah, this? It was from the age of nine. That’s what happened with polio.”

“By the way… it looks really bright. Oh, don’t get me wrong. My younger brother is also polio.”

“How old is your brother?”

“I am nineteen. I haven’t been able to walk since I was eight. It’s been eleven years now.”

“Hmm… you seem to have a bit of a dark personality, don’t you?”

“Yes, I hate going out and I don’t like meeting people. Ever since I was teased in elementary school.”

“Not all of them, but very young children are cruel. Because I don’t mind saying hurtful words. I used to be like my brother.”

“Then how did you change like this?”

“Someone took me to the racetrack. I fell in love with the liveliness of the horse there, and as I fell in love with it, it became like this. If your younger sibling likes something and has something he can focus on, he will change. Of course, I will have to help people around me a lot.”

“……okay.”

I had a brother like that.

Once again, I realized that I didn’t know much about her other than that she was from a military family.

I asked her carefully, in a low voice.

“Why is my brother’s leg uncomfortable? Did you have an accident?”

“No, I told you before. Infantile paralysis.”

“What is that assertion?”

“Polo. To be precise… cerebral palsy.”

“Huh? Is polio and cerebral palsy the same thing? Cerebral palsy is… what is it, isn’t it?”

I can’t even talk about physical disability or autism.

“Ugh, no. My brother has brain damage, so he can’t control his muscles well. He doesn’t have any intellectual disability. That’s why I called him polio in the first place.”

Jessica explained that there are two types of polio that I know of: spinal polio and cerebral palsy.

He said that the former is paralysis in which spinal nerves are damaged by a virus called polio, and that the latter is caused by damage to the brain and movement disorders.

There were two of them in the past, but now, thanks to the polio virus vaccine, only cerebral palsy remains.

Among those cerebral palsy, spastic leg paralysis was the disease of Chris and Jessica’s younger brother.

“Sorry. I didn’t know what.”

“No. When you say cerebral palsy, most people think of it.”

I scratched my head and at the same time a question came to mind.

It was because there was nothing wrong with Chris’s head, precisely his brain.

‘If there is a damaged part, if it is in the brain, there is no way I can’t see it.’

Maybe it’s not?
