The Growth of Herz (Part 4)

Yeon Woo is 12 years old. In no time he became a 5th grader, a senior in elementary school.

He still had to do homework from school, but it was a breeze for him with his mental age of 20.

He ate delicious food until he was full and slept soundly. Even if his mental age rose, at the moment he had a young body so tteokbokki and hamburgers were delicious.

Just a tenth of the exercise in his life as Jess will be able to create a subtle and flexible muscular body.

What kind of job should I have later? A scholar?

I don’t want to aspire in academics. It’s not as interesting as studying as a magician in the other world.

If I train properly and increase my physical strength and senses, I could become a baseball player, a football player, or a basketball player. Maybe I can relax and play golf. But I use my body plenty in the other world.

He did not want to have his life on both sides to be too alike.

Yeon Woo thought calmly.

He could be a con artist that scams other people, and it was also possible to be a police officer or a psychologist.

Could I be a cop and catch criminals? The working conditions aren"t good and the pay is poor, so it would be too much to devote myself to the country or society.

Keeping a stable life in one"s later years or even a rich life can be difficult, but if you are healthy, it’s not a bad life.

The people’s happiness or freedom may be less likely than that…….

As he becomes a junior high student, a high school student, and a college student, there will definitely be one or two things he would want to do.

If a burglar enters the house, I can break their limbs. If my siblings get hit by gangsters……. Well, I can make myself a bow and completely sweep them up. Life is simple.

I think Cheol-Jae will control the backstreets when he grows up. Han-Jin seems to have recently changed his goal to a prosecutor.

Life is easier if you have a lot of distinguished friends.

Jinsang has a good personality and is interesting. His appearance is neat and that guy would be a good actor. Seongman is about so-so, but his household is a real estate chaebol. Nothing is as reliable as land, and he’s an only child……. Huhuhu. Then Doyle is a little bit of a problem. (Darknari: chaebol is a large business conglomerate, typically a family-owned one.)

His father was engaged in a very special occupation, and when he read his thoughts through his line of destiny, he saw that he was a hit man. (Darknari: what is up with the friends he has been gathering?!)

No matter what happens, I shouldn’t fight with Doyle. If kids fight it could turn into adults fighting, so I"ll just let him hit me.

Perhaps there were many similarities with Yeon Woo.

If I could not read people’s thoughts, Doyle would have just been pa.s.sed by as a normal child. And I might not have even remembered him afterwards.
School life was still comfortable, but at home it was rather noisy.

"Oppa-nim. Please help me with my art homework." (Little sister)

"Hyung. You know Seongmi. I’m going to write a confession letter to her. Can"t you just tell me a little how to write it?" (Little brother)
"Will not." (Yeon Woo)

Yeon Yul, Yeon Tae-jin. (Darknari: they finally have names!)
My two younger siblings sometimes turn up and behave annoyingly.

"My teacher asked me to draw a picture of mom and dad! But I don’t know how to draw it. Please teach me a little oppa-nim. Ok?" (Yeon Yul)

"Eueeeng." (Yeon Yul)

"She goes to the bathroom, too." (Yeon Woo)

"*Snort*. Then it could be severe constipation. And what is there to separate girls. She"ll just ask to buy a backpack from you. Nowadays they won"t even meet you if you cannot afford tteokbokki." (Yeon Woo)
"Huuk!" (Yeon Tae-jin)

Yeon Woo brutally trampled on the innocence of his younger siblings.

Even after school, he returns late from hanging out with his friends and for some time he has been frequently skipping cram school.

"This unfortunate event arises when a working couple raises four children, and yet they can not watch over all of them. It"s not serious yet, so let’s wait and see if he recovers his senses." (Yeon Woo)

Yeon Woo had a lot of margin for everything.

Young children rarely die unless they get a particularly considerable illness.
He intended to leave it be, but he was determined to intervene if it was really urgent.

"It is so peaceful. If I don"t meet someone like a kidnapper or a rapist, I won"t get hit and have my bones broken." (Yeon Woo)

Even though Doyle"s case is considered special with his father, what was really rare was Yeon Woo who lived in two worlds.

Life as Jess was also the same. It was more exciting because it was a place where adventures, dreams, challenges, and risks coexist.
Even though he spent his time in reality freely, as soon as he crosses into Jess"s life he felt that the sound of the wind became vivid.
