Gun-Ho received a call from Min-Hyeok Kim in China .

“I heard that Dyeon Korea now has machine no . 9 and no . 10 . ”

“That’s right . ”

“You are going to send all of the products produced by those two machines to us, right?”

“That’s the plan . ”

“The five tons of raw materials that you sent to us at GH Parts Company last time was used by us to manufacture our own products . From now on, all of the raw materials that we receive from Dyeon Korea will be sold to other companies here . ”

“Of course . ”

“I think we might want to form a separate business entity for selling those raw materials in China rather than handling the business under the name of GH Parts Company . The form of a joint venture will do . ”

“A joint venture?”

“It will be more convenient that way . We can find a straw man as if that person runs the company . We can arrange the shares as divided as 90:10 just like the arrangement you made when you had the Korean restaurant in a hotel in Hangzhou City . ”

“Do you have any Chinese person in mind for that straw man position?”

“I do . I can have the team lead in GH Parts Company take the position . The company will be a joint venture with Dyeon Korea ostensibly, and in fact, Dyeon Korea will own 100% of the shares of the joint venture . ”

“Dyeon Korea can’t just start a joint venture by having another business partner . I will have to discuss it with Lymondell Dyeon, especially when an investment is involved . ”

“Really?”

“Maybe I don’t need Dyeon Korea to be involved here, but I can be the co-venturer personally, like I, individually, own the joint venture by investing in it, and have the team leader be the other co-venturer as a straw man . ”

“That will work, but you will have to use your personal funds to invest in it . ”

“For a manufacturing company, it would cost a lot for me to establish one; however, the company that we want to form is a sales company that sells imported products . I wouldn’t need to invest much . Can you quietly find out how much funds would be needed in order to establish a joint venture by a foreigner in that area?”

“Sure, no problem . ”

“You haven’t talked to that team lead about borrowing his name to open a joint venture yet, right?”

“Right, I haven’t talked to him about it . ”

“Hold on to it . Maybe we want to use your wife’s name or your father-in-law’s name in this matter instead of bringing that team lead person . ”

“My wife? Or my father-in-law?”

“Yeah . What do you think?”

“I don’t know…”

“Well, for now, just find out how much fund I will have to prepare . ”

Sunday came around . It was the day Gun-Ho asked Young-Eun to meet him .

Gun-Ho drove his Land Rover to the Starbucks in front of Hangsung University . He was wearing new jeans, a t-shirt, and a jacket that he bought the other day in Apgujeong Town . He was wearing new shoes as well . Gun-Ho believed that he looked younger in his new outfit .

Gun-Ho was waiting for Young-Eun while having a cup of coffee at Starbucks . It was after ten o’clock, but Young-Eun didn’t show up . It was 10:15, but she still hadn’t appeared yet . Gun-Ho felt anxious, and his mouth got dry . Gun-Ho had a similar experience with Seol-Bing and Mori Aikko; he had waited for them anxiously before, but he felt way more nervous now than those times .

“If she doesn’t show up by 10:30, then I won’t wait for her any longer . Since I am here already, I will take a walk around the Fortress Wall of Seoul by myself anyway, but I’ve never been here . Well, I can ask someone how to get there . ”

Gun-Ho almost finished his coffee when Young-Eun arrived at the café . She was wearing jeans with a pink jacket . Gun-Ho at first couldn’t recognize her because she was wearing a wide-brimmed hat almost covering her entire face .

Young-Eun looked around and smiled when she saw Gun-Ho sitting at a table .

“I’m sorry that I’m late . ”

Gun-Ho said with a smile, “No problem . ”

“I was caught up with doing laundry . ”

“Why don’t you have a seat and have a cup of coffee . ”

“Well, it seems you finished yours . Let’s just go and take a walk . ”

Gun-Ho followed Young-Eun out of the café . They walked toward the entrance of the Fortress Wall of Seoul, and neither of them spoke a word . The way Young-Eun walked reminded Gun-Ho of a soldier . He thought that Young-Eun would have nicely fit in the occupation as a soldier if not a medical doctor .

Gun-Ho didn’t bring a climbing backpack because he thought it wouldn’t be necessary since he was there not for mountain climbing but for just taking a walk around the fortress, but Gun-Ho thought that maybe he would need to carry at least a bottle of water with him . When he saw a grocery store, he ran into the store and bought two bottles of water and a chocolate .

“This is for you . It’s a bottle of water and chocolate . ”

“Thank you . ”

Young-Eun laughed as she took the bottle of water that Gun-Ho was giving to her . Gun-Ho thought she looked so cute when she laughed . The two started walking, and they entered into the silent mode again . Once they passed Gyeongsin High School, the Fortress Wall of Seoul started emerging . When they began to walk up the stairs, Gun-Ho gasped for air while Young-Eun seemed to have no problem with breathing . Maybe Gun-Ho should have reduced the frequency of taking a nap and do more physical exercise .

“Are you okay?”

“Of course, I’m good . ”

Gun-Ho was still gasping for air while responding to Young-Eun .

Young-Eun looked worried . When she saw a bench, she asked Gun-Ho to take a short break there before continuing their walk .

Gun-Ho and Young-Eun sat on a long bench side by side while enjoying the full sunlight .

“You walk like a soldier . ”

“I actually considered joining the army seriously as an army doctor . ”

“You do look like someone who is very well disciplined just like a soldier . I mean by looking at the way you walk . ”

“The people, who work with a computer all day long, tend to jut their neck and shoulder forward . Similarly, medical doctors tend to develop poor posture and the job requires us to have good stamina . I regularly exercise to keep up with the work . ”

Gun-Ho was drinking his water when he saw an old couple climbing the stairs toward him .

“Oh, my gosh . I think I need to sit down now . ”

“Ma’am, please take this seat . ”

Gun-Ho quickly stood up from the bench and gave his seat to the old lady . Gun-Ho wanted to show Young-Eun how considerate and thoughtful he could be . The old lady sat on the bench .

“Thank you, young man . ”

Young-Eun stood up from the bench as well to give her place to the old man .

“I’m good . ”

The old man declined Young-Eun’s offer .

“Please take the seat, sir . We are leaving anyway . ”

The old man said while sitting on the bench, “Are you two a married couple?”

“Oh, umm…”

Gun-Ho stammered while blushing .

“You two look alike . The married couple who resemble each other usually lives a happy life together for a long time . ”

Both Gun-Ho and Young-Eun blushed and quickly left the place after giving a slight nod to the old couple while feeling embarrassed .
