“Oh, my goodness! It’s Artist Young-San Hwang . ”
“He gave a special lecture at the Advanced Center for Administrative Development at Seoul National University . ”
“He is one of the best, nationwide . I’ve heard that he is having his solo art exhibition in Gwangju City right now . ”
“That’s right . He told me that . ”
“Gwangju City is his hometown, and he usually stays there and works on his artworks . He is a very famous artist . ”
“Hmm . I see . ”
“I would love to meet him . When is he coming to Seoul again?”
“Why don’t you visit him in Gwangju City since he is hosting his art exhibition there?”
“Do you have time, sir? I think it would be better that I go there with you since you know him personally . ”
“Okay . I can take a break from work and enjoy some artworks . ”
“What about tomorrow? His art exhibition will go on until the end of this week . I think tomorrow is good . ”
“Sounds good . ”
Around 3 o’clock in the afternoon, Gun-Ho was reading a business management book in his office when Assistant Manager Ji-Young Jeong came to his office with some rice cake .
“Is it rice cake? What’s the occasion?”
“There is a very popular rice cake shop across the street . They sometimes distribute their advertisement flyers at our building, and this time they brought this rice cake for us . ”
“It looks fancy . Even their wrapping box is unique . Their rice cake indeed stands out particularly, compared to other rice cakes . ”
“The tastes are different too . ”
“Oh, they added a healthy drink too, huh?”
“This one is from me . I prepared these drinks for visitors to our company . ”
Around 3 pm, Gun-Ho usually felt a bit hungry . It was a good time for snacks . Gun-Ho ate the rice cake along with the healthy drink, and he truly enjoyed them .

When Assistant Manager Ji-Young Jeong was about to leave the office, Gun-Ho asked, “Ms . Assistant Manager, can you get me twenty boxes of this rice cake? Also twenty healthy drinks as well . I want to take them somewhere . ”
“Okay, sir . ”
Gun-Ho had a class that day at the Advanced Center for Administrative Development at Seoul National University .
Before the class started, the class president asked for Gun-Ho .
“Mr . Class Manager, did you bring your wedding invitation today?”
“It will be ready tomorrow . ”
“We have class the day after tomorrow . Can you bring it then?”
“Sure, I will . ”
“Did you meet your bride by an arrangement or by your own?”
“I would say half and half . ”
“What does your bride do for a living? Is she working?”
“She is a medical doctor . ”
“Really? Which hospital is she working at?”
“It’s Seoul National University Hospital . ”
“I guess she graduated from Seoul National University, huh?”
They had to halt the conversation when the professor came into the classroom .
Two classes were offered in one day at the Advanced Center for Administrative Development . The first class ended at 8 pm, and they had a short break before the second class began . It was a brief break, not long enough to have dinner . The students usually felt hungry during the break .
That day, when the first class was over, Gun-Ho distributed the rice cakes and healthy drinks to his classmates .
“Is it a rice cake?”
“It looks luxurious . ”

“Our class manager is very thoughtful . ”
“Because of our class manager, we get this nice snack at this hour . ”
Everyone seemed to be delighted with the snacks that Gun-Ho prepared for them .
Gun-Ho spoke while holding a large plastic bag, “Once you finish your snack, please put them in this plastic bag . I will clean it up . ”
“We definitely chose the right person for our class manager . ”
At that moment, the class president spoke in a loud voice, “Our class manager is getting married on March 18th . ”
“Really? He is still single, huh?”
The class president continued to make the announcement .
“The wedding will be held at Hilton Hotel across Seoul Station . His bride is a medical doctor at Seoul National University Hospital . ”
“Is that so?”
“And, I am the one who will preside over his wedding . ”
“Oh, really? Let’s all go there and congratulate him on his wedding then . ”
“Of course . We will pay for this rice cake anyway . ”
“I guess this rice cake was a bribe after all . ”
“Let’s give him a round of applause . ”
The people in the class applauded altogether, and that made Gun-Ho blush .
The professor came into the classroom .
“What’s going on here? Why do I hear clapping?”
“Oh, we were just welcoming you with clapping because you are so popular, sir . ”
The ministers teased the professor .

Gun-Ho didn’t go to his factory in Jiksan Town that day . Instead, he went to the building in Sinsa Town . It was the day when he was supposed to accompany President Shin in visiting the art exhibition in Gwangju City .
President Shin was already in the office waiting for Gun-Ho .
“You are here already . ”
“We have to leave now . I gave a call to the gallery, and they said Artist Hwang comes to the exhibition only during lunchtime and he doesn’t stay long . If we leave now, I think we can get there by lunchtime .
“Okay, then let’s go . ”
“Okay . ”
Gun-Ho sat in the rear seat in his Bentley as usual while President Shin sat in the front passenger seat .
“This car is really nice . What is this?”
“It’s Bentley . ”
“Bentley? How much is it?”
“I paid 300 million won . ”
“Did you just say 300 million won? Wow . You can buy a house with it . It’s going to be an extravagant trip for me today . Haha . ”
Gun-Ho and President Shin dozed off on the way to Gwangju City . They both probably were tired .
“Huh? Chan-Ho . Where are we now?”
“We are not there yet, sir . We are in Jeongeup City right now . ”
“Whew . Gwangju City is indeed far from Seoul . ”
“It would have taken more if it was not Bentley . I see the sign for Jangseong Tunnel over there . ”
Gun-Ho had never been to Gwangju City before . President Shin said she had been there a few times .
“It is a big city . ”
Gun-Ho looked around through the window .
“Where did you say the gallery is located?”
“It’s Hanbit Gallery next to Chonnam Girl’s High School in Gung Town . ”
“Chan-Ho, why don’t you come with us and enjoy the paintings there?”
“Yes, sir . ”
They arrived at the art gallery . Gun-Ho got off the car and looked around the area .
“Hmm . The area has some sort of artistic vibe . ”
President Shin went inside the art gallery and spoke to a staff there, “I called earlier . We just came from Seoul City . ”
“Oh, okay . Mr . Artist is on the way here . ”
While waiting for Artist Young-San Hwang, Gun-Ho and President Shin looked around the gallery enjoying the paintings there . Most of them were abstract paintings with bold colors . President Shin often nodded her head while looking at the paintings . Gun-Ho was not very knowledgeable about paintings, but he could tell that they were very artistic . It seemed that Artist Young-San Hwang arrived .
“Sir, we have the guests from Seoul City . ”
Gun-Ho went to Artist Hwang .
“Hello, sir . ”
The artist slowly blinked his eyes while trying to figure out where he had seen Gun-Ho before .
“I took your special lecture at the Advanced Center for Administrative Development at Seoul National University . ”
“Oh, I remember . You are the one who had an art gallery . ”
Artist Hwang extended his hand to Gun-Ho for a handshake .
