The chairman’s sudden visit is planned.

Shandroy was also greatly embarrassed, as he had not expected it.

“Ba, just now…”

“Jeff, that would be nice. Grandpa is coming in person.”

“Wow!”

As I got excited and started spinning around in place, Shandroy quickly regained his composure.

She wiped her face once as if she was in trouble, then abruptly got up from her seat.

“First, everyone, let’s go out. The chairman didn’t say anything, so there’s no need for any major preparations.”

So we followed Shandroy out of the teachers’ office.

I took Appleton’s hand as he walked beside me.

Her hands were shaking incessantly.

Why is this happening? Even though I fed her a lot of healthy foods, her body just didn’t seem to get better.

Shine also saw what I was doing, so he stood opposite Appleton and held my hand as well.

“I’m really looking forward to it. Right?”

“Yeah.”

Shine answers my question.

But Appleton had no answer.

She just swallowed dryly and nodded her head reluctantly.

“This is my first time introducing a friend to my grandfather. I wonder if he likes Appleton too?”

“Because you’re Jeff’s friend. He’ll like it.”

The place Shandroy guided us to was an incredibly large helipad.

As I was admiring the fact that there was a place like this at school, I could sense a faint flow from afar.

It was a familiar kind of thing now.

As I followed the unique radio waves emitted by the helicopter, I saw something like a small dot flying towards me from the distant sky.

It grew in size at a very fast rate, and when it stopped above our heads, it was incomparably larger than before.

The side of the helicopter had a silver beast mark on it.

A symbol representing Grandfather Ferman.

I silently held the ring on my hand.

As the helicopter slowly began to land, the helicopter door suddenly opened.

As I opened my mouth in surprise and was about to scream, a long ladder fell from beyond the wide-open door and began to flutter in the wind.

It wasn’t just the ladder that showed up.

As seen in the video, Grandpa Perman, neatly dressed in a suit, emerged from the helicopter.

He leaned out and saw me and Shine, then smiled happily and waved.

“Jeff! Shine!”

“Grandpa!”

We couldn’t hear him clearly because he was far away and buried in the sound of helicopters, but he was clearly calling us.

While I was jumping up and down in joy with both arms outstretched, Shine just raised one hand and waved it.

Nevertheless, Grandpa Ferman was very happy and started climbing the ladder.

Although it was unsettling to see him swaying in the wind, Grandpa Ferman deftly climbed down the ladder and placed his foot on the end.

But it was still not far enough to come down.

It was because the ladder was a little short.

The helicopter was slowly descending, lowering the ladder downward, but Grandpa Ferman jumped out of the air as if he didn’t even want to waste time.

For someone who jumped from what must have been a height of at least 15 meters, his face looked so calm.

Taang-!

The wind blew in all directions as the sound of loud footsteps was heard.

Grandpa Ferman, who appeared with a landing that could not be called safe, walked towards us while adjusting his collar.

Appleton, standing next to me, was on the verge of fainting, unable to breathe.

I gently patted her back in a hurry to ease her tension.

As a bonus, it also provided electricity that relaxed the muscles in the body.

“Ahh-”

Appleton began to writhe and groan softly.

I held her body so she wouldn’t fall and made her lean against me.

Grandfather Ferman approached us and knelt down without even looking at Shandroy, who was standing next to him.

Shandroy took a deep breath when he saw the sight.

“Long time no see.”

He reached out and stroked Shine’s head.

Shine also seemed to be in a good mood and accepted his touch without saying anything.

Sometimes, Victor would mistake me for Shine and put his hand on his head, and Shine would glare at Victor as if she was going to kill him.

Shine, you don’t mind having your hair touched either.

I think there were so many things I wanted to say to my grandfather if I ever saw him again, but when I actually saw him in person, my mouth wouldn’t move properly.

In the end, the action I chose after mumbling was to act with my body.

I opened my arms wide and hugged my grandfather.

His eyes, which usually showed a sharp gaze, were softened.

The lips, which had seemed stiff, also lifted slightly, neutralizing the atmosphere.

After remaining silent in Grandpa Perman’s arms for a while, he slowly steps back.

I felt ashamed of my actions and hung my head.

I couldn’t understand why he did this.

I’m not even a little kid.

Grandpa Ferman looked at Shine this time.

The anticipation that fills his gaze, there is no one here who does not know what he is hoping for.

Shine glanced around, perhaps concerned about the gazes of others.

With a small sigh, I approached my grandfather’s arms.

Instead, she didn’t spread her arms.

As if I’m coming towards you, you hug me.

It seemed like he was saying something like that.

Grandpa Ferman smiled at her and hugged her, saying that he simply liked her appearance.

A bit too much, I say.

Grandpa Ferman lifted Shine up in a flash.

Shine’s eyebrows rise up towards the sky.

He seemed uncomfortable with the sudden action.

“Please give me down.”

Shine was able to come down quickly.

“Big…”

Then, Shandroy, who was standing next to him, cleared his throat and made his presence known.

Only then did Grandpa Ferman turn his gaze to the side and greet her.

“Long time no see.”

“Welcome, Chairman.”

“I’m running out of time, so I’ll skip all the formalities. I’m not here to be the CEO.”

“Okay.”

Shandroy bowed his head and stepped back.

Appleton stared blankly at Shandroy, who was walking away with trembling eyes.

I approached my grandfather, holding her hand tightly.

“Grandpa! That’s my friend!”

It was my first time introducing a friend to my family.

I looked up at my grandfather, my heart pounding with anticipation evident.

“Ah, ah, ah, ah…”

I have to introduce myself soon, but am I too nervous?

I again sent a faint electric shock to Appleton’s back.

Then her face relaxed slightly and she began to stagger.

I quickly supported her side.

“Hi, my name is Appleton. I’m a friend of Jeff and Shine…”

“Hmm…”

Grandpa Ferman returned to his usual expression at Appleton’s introduction and began to examine her.

Appleton trembled like an aspen leaf every time his grandfather’s gaze passed over his body.

“Red Star.”

“Yes, yes?”

“Red Star… It’s okay.”

Grandpa Ferman nodded, muttering softly.

Anyway, I’m glad you liked Appleton.

“Jeff and I didn’t know each other when we met.”

“Are you saying that you approached me without knowing the background?”

“Yeah. Jeff just wanted to be friends.”

Shine and Grandpa Ferman started talking.

I stared blankly at the two of them, then shook my head and hugged Appleton.

“Hey, Appleton.”

“Huh, huh?”

“What do you mean Red Star?”

I whispered softly in Appleton’s ear so that neither of them could hear.

As a bonus, he kept sending electrical signals behind her back to help her relax.

Appleton flinched and twisted his body without mercy as if his ear was tickled by my question.

The breath coming out of her mouth began to smell increasingly sweeter.

“That’s right, my dad runs… Haat…”

Appleton began to speak, seemingly relaxed as before.

Only then did I take my hands off her back.

Appleton’s cheeks were slightly flushed.

She continued speaking, looking at my moving away hand with a slightly regretful expression.

“The name of the company my dad runs is Red Star…”

“Really? That cola company?”

“Yeah… I think you know what I mean.”

I was so excited by her answer that I shook her hand wildly.

Red Star was my favorite brand of cola.

It was truly surprising that my first friend was the daughter of the company president.

“Then, can you let me drink cola every day?”

“That much… is no problem…”

“Then, then, then can you turn all the water in the world into cola?”

Appleton answered my question with a puzzled look.

“No matter what, that’s impossible…”

“Oops…”

Although it was a pity, I decided to be satisfied with being able to drink cola every day.

I’m starting to like Appleton more.

“Jeff.”

“Yes!”

As I was waiting with Appleton in my arms, Grandpa Ferman, who had finished talking to Shine, spoke to me.

“Can you introduce your school to your grandfather?”

“But Grandpa is the chairman here. Doesn’t he know better than me?”

“It’s been over three years since I came back here. I heard a lot has changed since then, so you probably know better than I do, right?”

I nodded to Grandpa Ferman’s words.

“Okay, I’ll show you. But keep in mind, I don’t know all the details either.”

I said with a confident expression, my arms draped over my waist as if I was following Rain.

Then, the grandfather’s face suddenly relaxes.

That’s how the school guidance time started.

Shine Appleton and I walked ahead, with Grandpa Ferman following behind.

I was lucky to have a friend named Appleton.

She’s been coming here for a long time, so she knows the area better than I do.

Whenever I mumbled as if I had difficulty answering, she would sneak up next to me and whisper in my ear.

“Here…”

‘This is the drama club’s bad room.’

“This is the studio used by the drama club!”

“Wow….”

Grandpa Ferman always showed interest whenever I introduced him.

I felt even more excited and happy by my grandfather’s reaction.

“The theater department… In the past, there were a lot of pretty good works…”

“Next time here!”

I ran ahead and waved to Grandpa Ferman.

I don’t care about the eyes of those around me.

If you worry about such trivial things, you won’t be able to fully enjoy the good times you have with Grandpa Perman.
