It’s already been over 8 months since I was born again.

    Of course, I don’t even know my birthday, but from what my mom says, I guess it means I’m over 250 days old.

    I was carried by my mother and placed in the high chair prepared for me.

    I think this meal is baby food and not breast milk or formula.

    Looking at today’s baby food.

    Is this color meat?

    Of course, I would like to have pork belly, but in reality, it is closer to porridge.

    It’s more like porridge with less texture than regular porridge, but for me, who only ate powdered milk or finely ground white porridge, it’s a feast.

    “Is Jaehoon delicious? He eats well without spilling anything~”

    “Oh my.”

    He nodded as if it was delicious and answered. Mom would have understood.

    For the past few days, he has been eating with a baby spoon.

    I don’t know if other babies eat with a spoon like I do, but now that they have the strength to hold a spoon, I don’t think there will be any problem for them to eat on their own.

    After I finished eating, my mom sat me down in the living room and watched the economic news while folding the laundry.

    News is actually the best news that exists for me. The best news among them is economic news.

    It was refreshing to see the economic history I had only learned from books in college as reality rather than history through the news.

    My mom would sometimes put on something kid-friendly, but I never had a childlike mind, so I couldn’t enjoy those programs.

    – KOSPI 200, the first domestic derivative product…

    – With the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup confirmed…

    – With the opening of the KOSDAQ market…

    – Korea’s accession to the OECD has been confirmed…

    It certainly feels like the economy is still underdeveloped.

    To me, who knows the future, joining the OECD is currently premature for Korea.

    In fact, it was the same cause as the IMF in Korea.

    The IMF was a huge wound to the people, especially the common people, but unfortunately, if you think about it the other way around, it may have been because of the IMF that Korea’s finances were able to grow steadily in the future.

    This is a difficult problem even for me, who knows what the future holds.

    “Jaehoon. Is that fun?”

    I guess I looked at this too hard.

    It’s not exactly something a one-year-old would find funny.

    Still, he nodded.

    Economic news is better than children’s programming.

    “Jaehoon, do you understand that?”

    “Gyaaaah.”

    I guess I’ll have to pretend not to know here.

    Still, I want to be a normal child to my mother who loves and cherishes me.

    I absolutely cannot watch children’s shows…

    ***

    Another few months passed.

    Today is my first birthday. It’s the day of my first birthday party.

    It must have been noisy last night, but the house has been bustling since I woke up this morning.

    “Can you please check if you have wet wipes in your bag?”

    “Okay~ Ah! Here it is!”

    “Really? I think I packed everything, but what about you?”

    “Yulim won’t be late on a day like this~ She’ll be waiting downstairs, right?”

    “Oh my. I have to hurry up and go down while I’m waiting for the lady. What are you doing!”

    The chairman is carrying a bag on his back and luggage in both hands.

    There is no stone left, as if the cool appearance from the previous life was just an illusion.

    My mother picked me up and headed outside.

    It’s been almost a year since I’ve been outside.

    I heard my parents talking before, and it seems like my grandfather, who is my mother’s father-in-law, strongly advised me not to go outside until I turned one.

    I don’t know why, but I felt comfortable at home.

    As I went down the elevator, there was a Musso car parked in front of my house that I hadn’t seen in a long time.

    “New sister~ Long time no see~!”

    “Youngest lady, how have you been?”

    “I’m always doing well! Wow, Jaehoon is so pretty.”

    “Right? She’s pretty and smart! You missed Jaehoon, right?”

    “Of course! I really wanted to see you. But I couldn’t come because of my dad. Ugh.”

    “Jaehoon, you should say hello to your aunt.”

    “No, please.”

    “Oh! Jaehoon speaks well?”

    “Yulim, I’m heavy. Let’s ride first.”

    The chairman cut off the conversation that seemed like it would go on for a long time with good timing.

    My mother, who is holding me, gets into the car first, and it looks like the chairman is packing up his luggage in the trunk.

    “Sister. Shall we go?”

    “Yes, youngest daughter. Please drive well.”

    “I can do it.”

    “You’ve never driven an SUV, oppa. You drive a passenger car. ”

    Somehow, the aunt’s favorability rating rose slightly as she ignored the chairman. He really was a younger sibling.

    So I rode in the car, held in my mother’s arms.

    Aunt. I’ve definitely seen your face somewhere. Who is it?

    I thought about the chairman’s genealogy in a situation where I seemed to remember something and then couldn’t.

    Among 3 children, my father is the eldest son and I am the youngest son, the president of the Payat Hotel! I have to look good to my aunt.

    If it looks good, I’ll eat at the hotel buffet again later.

    ***

    “Sister, get off first. I’ll park and come.”

    “Thank you, youngest. I will take good care of you when I leave.”

    “Oh, of course~”

    As I got out of the car in my mother’s arms, I saw a tile-roofed Korean-style house.

    It’s probably not a bar, but a Korean restaurant.

    Following the staff’s instructions, I went into the changing room and changed into a hanbok.

    This is the first time I’ve worn a hanbok, including in my previous life.

    “Miss. Can you ask Jaehoon to look after us while we change our clothes and put on our makeup?”

    “Of course! That’s why I came~!”

    “Jaehoon is quiet, so nothing bad will happen. Please take good care of Jaehoon~!”

    “Yes. I will play well with you!”

    I was held by my aunt and sat on the sofa in the waiting room.

    “Jaehoon, do you want to be my aunt?”

    “Aunt?”

    “Hey!! Isn’t Jaehoon a genius? Jaehoon has a pretty face and a pretty personality. He looks more like his older sister than his older brother~”

    “Gyaaaah.”

    I showed my affection once. With just one word, my aunt’s favorability rating went up significantly.

    The chairman’s grudge for being pushed around by a scoundrel in his previous life has not yet ended.

    After playing with my aunt for about 30 minutes, a middle-aged couple wearing hanbok appeared behind me.

    I knew it the moment I saw it.

    A person who was deceased when he joined the company in his previous life.

    The first chairman, Seo Tae-cheol, used the IMF as a stepping stone to raise SL Corporation from the top 20 in the business world to the top spot.

    In other words, he is my grandfather now.

    “Hey! Dad, Mom, why are you here so early?“

    “Is it Jaehoon?”

    “Oh my. I woke up early in the morning and kept whining that it was Jaehoon’s day.”

    “Isn’t Jaehoon pretty? He speaks well and is very smart.”

    “Huh? Taesan still doesn’t call me dad?”

    “Huh? You used to call me aunt a lot?”

    I smiled brightly at my grandfather while everyone was looking at me.

    “Ahem. Yurim. Let me hug you too.”

    “That’s right! Don’t say it’s been a year or anything, just go see it a long time ago.”

    “Don’t say anything big and just give me Jaehoon!”

    My grandfather hugged me with careful hands.

    “Our eldest grandson is tall and handsome.”

    “Ouch.”

    “Shall we try, Grandpa? Grandpa~”

    “What are you doing?”

    “Oh my, our eldest grandson is a genius? Hahaha.”

    “Taesan is much prettier now than when he was a baby. Is it because he resembles his daughter-in-law?”

    My grandfather’s favorability rating has increased significantly. As expected from a businessperson, he has excellent taste.

    “Ouch.”

    “Oh! Father, you came home early! Are you well?”

    At that moment, my mother, who had changed into a hanbok and finished putting on makeup, opened the door and came over.

    “Daughter-in-law, you’re here! You’ve had a hard time. You couldn’t even leave the house, right?”

    “No. I know it’s hard~ You’re worried about Jaehoon, so I know that. Isn’t Jaehoon pretty?”

    “The grandson resembles his daughter-in-law, so he is pretty and very smart. Hahaha.”

    “Right? Jaehoon is so quiet and smart.”

    “Grandpa, once I told you how to do it, you started calling me right away. Hahaha.”

    “Oh my. Really? Oh! Now that I think about it, you’re really quiet?”

    “Huh? Why is that?”

    “Taesan can’t even hug. He hates it so much that I thought he hated men.”

    Mom has a bitter smile. I never thought of that.

    I don’t know how long my aftertaste will last, but I think I need to change my method of revenge.

    I couldn’t imagine my mother looking so bitter.

    The atmosphere suddenly became heavy. It seemed like it needed some ventilation.

    “Oh my!”

    When I open my arms towards my mom, only then does she accept me with a smile.

    As the guests came in one by one, my mother, who was holding me in her arms, greeted the visiting relatives, including my maternal and paternal relatives, and her friends.

    The first birthday party finally began, and even I, who was just watching, was getting exhausted.

    The food was set and the host introduced me.

    A cake that appeared after the mother and the chairman shared their thoughts in an interview format.

    I’ve never seen such a big cake before. Even a three-tier cake.

    Even the candles were huge and colorful.

    Judging from the number of people who were surprised and laughed at the sight of the cake, it definitely wasn’t an ordinary cake.

    Even the cakes of the conglomerate look different depending on who ordered them.

    A birthday song was sung, cake was cut and distributed to the guests, and birthday items were lined up on the table where the cake had been.

    My mother placed me on the table and everyone’s eyes were on me.

    A sense of tension that makes you feel like you can’t grab anything.

    I looked at the items listed one by one.

    [stethoscope mapa thread microphone ball coin failure pencil gavel]

    ‘Judge Bong?’

    If I break the chairman’s pot with that, which looks nice, wouldn’t my anger be relieved a little?

    I held the gavel as if possessed.

    “”Clap clap clap clap.””

    “Hahahahahahaha.”

    The sound of applause echoes through the crowd, and the grandfather is smiling happily as he holds the gavel.

    Mom picked me up again and sat me down on the chair.

    The chairman also came to me, feeling happy that I was holding the gavel.

    “Jaehoon is holding the gavel, so he’ll become a judge?”

    The chairman came up to my face and smiled brightly.

    It was a golden opportunity.

    He grabbed the gavel he was holding in his arms and swung it at the chairman’s head.

    “Evil.”

    “Hahahahahahaha.”

    The people watching burst into laughter, and the chairman didn’t seem to be hit as he seemed to have weaker arms than expected.

    Kabi.

    Arm exercises are urgent.
