Chapter 3 . Sigorjavjong

World-renowned mathematician Lucas has died in an apartment in Boston.

Since his mother passed away 10 years ago, he has hardly been out and has no friends, so no one mourns his death. The fifty thousand dollars in his account went to the country.

***

The gods gathered over his death.

Said Eros, the Greek god of love.

“A life that no one loves is so dry. Does such a life have any meaning?”

Jesus Christ said.

“A person who has never felt compassion for others. How can you pass a poor man?”

The Egyptian god Thoth, the god of wisdom and learning, spoke with the face of a monkey.

“Still, he has academic achievements. The fact is that he proved Fermat’s theorem. He’s been unsolved by any human in 350 years, yes.”

Norse god of thunder, Thor said.

“But doesn’t that mean his life is meaningful? If I had a person like that by my side, I would have thought I was unlucky, wouldn’t I?”

The gods laughed and agreed.

Said Apollo, the beautiful Greek god of art with a laurel wreath on his head.

“Besides, he didn’t like any sound. The laughter of children, the singing of birds, even the music.”

Said the Greek Prometheus, who brought fire and civilization to mankind.

“He was such a complainer. For over a thousand years, as punishment for bringing fire to humans, I have lived with more complaints than when an eagle bites its liver.”

The gods unanimously concluded that Lucas could not be born as a man.

At that time, the grandmother with a kind smile in a hanbok said.

“I’m taking him. As a dog.”

Thor, the god of thunder, clapped and agreed,

“good idea.”

With the consent of many gods, it was finally decided that Lucas’s next life would be a puppy.

As the three gods were about to leave, Thoth, the Egyptian god of wisdom and learning, took pity on Lucas.

“Wait a minute. I will give him a very small gift.”

So Lucas was reincarnated as a puppy with a small gift from Thoth.

***

Lucas was in his grandmother’s box at Dongmyo’s old-fashioned market.

‘I’m so scared. Now I’m going to die soon.’

Lucas was trembling with fear.

‘I’ll have to sell these guys to make some money after a long time.’

Lucas’s owner, the grandmother, sat next to Hwang Byung-seung with a box. In front of her box, she wrote 20,000 won for a puppy.

Byeong-seung and his grandmother had known each other for 10 years, so Byeong-seung said hello to her grandmother.

“Grandmother, don’t you grow vegetables in the fortress?”

“Do it, why not? I’m going to sell it again.”

People passing by were looking at the puppy and bought it. Lucas was terrified.

‘All the other brothers were sold out and I was the only one left. They say they buy dogs and eat them in this country.’

Lucas was even more anxious because he didn’t know Korean.

A passing couple was watching the puppy in front of the grandmother’s dog box.

“Grandma, we will live with this puppy.”

Just when her grandmother put her hand to Lucas to hold her, Lucas clenched her grandmother’s hand to help her live.

“Aww.”

There was blood from her grandmother’s hand.

“sorry. Next time.”

The guests were astonished to see the blood dripping from her grandmother’s hand, and passed without buying Lucas.

“You’re an idiot Inomu.”

Grandma got angry and threw Lucas on the floor. Lucas was in so much pain that he screamed involuntarily.

“Kwak.”

Eun-woo, who was in Chang-hyeon’s baby belt, heard the sound.

‘I might die there. I need help.’

Eunwoo gestured to Changhyun. Changhyun saw that and ran to him.

“Grandma what are you doing?”

“No, this bastard bit me when I pulled it out of the box.”

Her grandmother’s hands were bleeding.

Eun-woo looked at her grandmother.

[Buddha’s Chlorinated Smile 400 / 1000]

‘weird. No change in numbers. Looking at her grandmother’s face and expression, she must have been under a lot of stress. No change at all. Maybe it’s because I didn’t open my heart.’

Eun-woo lowered his head in regret.

‘In the past few days, I’ve accumulated a lot of numbers from Grandmother Kim Mi-ja, Uncle Hwang Byung-seung, and the old-fashioned market merchants, so there’s no problem, but it’s not a puppy. I would have been able to save you if Miso Chloride worked.’

Changhyun felt sorry for the puppy.

‘My grandmother was very angry, so if she left her like this, bad things might happen to her dog.’

Changhyun said as he opened his wallet.

“Grandma, I will live with that puppy. How much can I give you?”

“Twenty thousand won.”

She smiled as the old woman felt relieved in her awhile.

“Come on, I’ll give you twenty-five thousand won, so go to a nearby pharmacy and buy some medicine.”

So, Lucas became a new member of Changhyun’s house.



Changhyun put Lucas in the box near the mat.

‘After the business is over, I have to take him home.’

Eunwoo was so happy that nothing bad had happened to Lucas.

‘The little cute puppy has a very sad expression on his face. I almost fell to the floor and died. it must have been sad I have to make you laugh.’

[Buddha’s Chlorinated Smile 420 / 1000]

When Lucas made eye contact with Eunwoo, he felt his heart relaxed.

‘Now all the bad things are over, only the good things will happen.

Like that baby’s bright smile.

The baby’s father seems like a good person, so I’ll be fine.’

Eun-woo saw that Lucas’ expression brightened a little.

‘do not worry. Because we will be able to have more fun while exchanging emotions in the future. The numbers are also accumulating.’

On the other hand, Young Tak was angry.

‘No, who knows how poor it is. I’m sorry, but right now, I have a three-nose nose, so what am I going to do with a puppy? Did you know that dogs grow on their own? To Eunwoo, to the puppy.

The business is doing well, but how are you going to handle it?’

Changhyeon and Youngtak’s seats were crowded with many customers today.

“Brother, don’t you have a men’s suit?”

“Everything I brought today is gone.”

“what a waste. Baek Soo-hee unnie posted on Star Star that the suit she bought here was pretty. It’s fashionable these days. wearing a men’s suit baby is really cute Can I take a picture?”

Changhyun took a picture with the guests. Changhyun had to wear a baby carrier all the time, so in order to take Eunwoo, he had no choice but to take a picture with him.

“I have never seen such a cute baby. If you do not eat, you will be full. But he’s handsome too. I’ll come back to buy a suit next time.”

Changhyun felt good when he heard praise for himself for the first time. In fact, Changhyeon also had a handsome face, but it was difficult to get attention because he was with Eunwoo who was so cute.

Young-tak said to Chang-hyeon.

“After Baek Soo-hee went, the number of customers looking for suits increased. However, I am worried that the suit is difficult to find. There are people looking for them, but nowhere to find them. I think we can sell more if we bring them in.”

“It’s hard to find what we throw away because we don’t decide what to throw away.”

He sold all the items he brought and finished the business around 7 pm.

Chang-hyeon and Young-tak went to Kim Mi-ja’s sundae soup restaurant.

Eunwoo was excited.

‘Are you going to be able to get a lot of numbers from Kim Mi-ja today too? But Kim Mi-ja’s grandmother is a very warm person. And the things that Grandmother Kim Mi-ja is giving her have a positive impact on her dad and uncles as well, so the number is growing exponentially.’

Kim Mi-ja took her Eun-woo and hugged her.

“Did you sell everything today? The bachelors are really good. I’ve been in business here for 20 years, but it’s the first time I’ve ever been a good business person like bachelors.”

“I was lucky.”

Changhyun said shyly. Kim Mi-ja was looking at Chang-hyeon and Young-tak.

‘Those young men seem like the right people for my troubled store. It’s not that the share is bad, but the people who enter are ruined. The shopkeepers who come in have a strange personality, so it’s hard to get a monthly rent, and the tenants who came in this time hid their bankruptcy and didn’t seem to get a single penny at all. He’s been on rent for three years, so he feels like a hundred years old. Even if that store is resolved, I think it will fly away. I have to do a real exam.’

Kim Mi-ja had three other stores that paid monthly rent other than her Sundae-guk restaurant, which she ran, and one of them was in trouble.

‘If such young and well-to-do businessmen enter, their share will be revived and the monthly rent will be flat.’Kim Mi-ja was thinking that Chang-hyeon and Yeong-tak might have the ability to solve the problem.

“What dog is that?”

Young-tak said as if expressing his frustration.

“My father, Eun-woo, who is far and wide, committed another incident today. The kid is really nice, so it’s a mask.”

“Because you are good, you will receive a lot of blessings. Business is going well. But let’s see, you idiot.”

“Hey, you asshole. How much will it grow? You shouldn’t grow too much. How are you trying to raise him in a real one-room?”

Changhyun opened his mouth.

“It’s not a mutt, it’s a Sigorjab. By the way, how about we move? It is expensive to pay monthly rent separately for you and me. If you want to work together anyway, it’s easier to live together.”

“The monthly rent alone with you and me is 800,000 won a month, so I wish we could reduce that. But wouldn’t it be expensive to own a house for dogs?”

“do not worry. There must be a good home that you can relate to.”

“There is an owner of the Bokdeokbang that I know well, and I will introduce you to it.”

Kim Mi-ja felt like a day’s pleasure to see Eun-woo, so she wanted to help whenever it was related to Eun-woo.

Eun-woo was excited at the number that appeared on the heads of the three at the same time.

‘Kim Mi-ja is 10 on her grandmother’s head, 5 on her father’s head. Young-tak’s uncle is 2.’

The soft skin and lovely smell of a baby that she had not felt in a long time gave life to Mi-Ja Kim’s life.

“Hami. Hammy.”

In the meantime, Eun-woo learned the word grandmother and began to pronounce it similarly.

‘Oh, you’re pretty. That’s why the grandson says it doesn’t hurt even if you put it in her eyes. I wish I could see Eunwoo every day.’

Kim Mi-ja, who had no grandchildren, felt her heart melt whenever Eun-woo said those words.

She is Mija Kim and her desire to live in the same neighborhood with Eunwoo, so she wants to introduce Changhyeon to a real estate agent in the neighborhood where she lives.

***

Young-tak and Chang-hyeon were having a meeting in Chang-hyeon’s studio.

“Let’s find out if there are good suits in Carrot Country or the recycling market.”

“I also saw Baek Soo-hee as a star, and if she prints a trendy style and hangs it with her, the person who buys it will know what kind of clothes she buys will suit her, so it would be better to prepare it together.”

“The income is better than expected. I was surprised that the income was similar to when I was working as a delivery worker.”

“If you work hard, you can sell more.”

“Yeah, fighting!”

While Yeong-tak and Chang-hyeon were full of dreams about the future, Eun-woo was busy playing with Lucas.

“Mong-mi.”

Eunwoo was still very grateful that Lucas had become brighter than before since they started living together.

“Aboop. (Pretty)”

The number 1 appeared on Lucas’ head, probably because Eunwoo’s praise made him feel better.

‘I’m happy that you’re with me too. Me too.’

Eunwoo liked Lucas.

Lucas also licked his tail as if in a good mood and licked Eunwoo’s cheek.
