A while later.

Hyun-sung, regaining consciousness, looked at Chairman Shin Chun-oh, who was watching him, and asked,

“What happened?”

“Did you sleep well?”

“Yes? Are you saying I was sleeping just now?”

Hyun-sung shook his head vigorously, trying to clear his mind.

His last memory was definitely of treating Chairman Shin Chun-oh. Then, at some point, he felt his energy running low, and he remembered injecting his last bit of energy at that moment.

After that, he had no memory.

So, he must have fainted.

Hyun-sung immediately asked,

“Did I perhaps pass out?”

“Yes, you did. You suddenly lost consciousness and fell asleep. I was surprised at first, but I was relieved to see you sleeping.”

“How long was I asleep?”

“A little over an hour. Anyway, are you feeling better now?”

Chairman Shin Chun-oh asked with a worried look.

Hyun-sung nodded and replied,

“Well, I don’t have a headache, and I feel fine since I slept.”

“That’s a relief. I was so surprised earlier…”

“I didn’t mean to, um, let me see your hand for a moment.”

Hyun-sung suddenly grabbed Chairman Shin Chun-oh’s hand. Then, he focused his mind and began to examine Chairman Shin Chun-oh’s body.

A moment later.

Hyun-sung shook his head from side to side and opened his mouth.

“There’s still a tumor left.”

“Does that mean the tumor is smaller than before?”

“Yes, it’s a very small change, but I think there’s a difference in size compared to the beginning.”

“Heh, really…”

Chairman Shin Chun-oh couldn’t believe it. Of course, he wasn’t completely without expectations after receiving Hyun-sung’s call. But that was just wishful thinking.

The reason he came down here was in the hope of grasping at straws before starting chemotherapy.

And besides, he had only received one treatment so far. Yet, the fact that there was a change in size meant that he could be completely cured with more treatments in the future.

Chairman Shin Chun-oh looked at Hyun-sung.

Then Hyun-sung said,

“If you have time, can you receive treatment a few more times?”

“Are you even asking? If it can be cured, I should stay and eat around here and receive treatment until I’m completely cured.”

“There’s a small inn near the terminal, so you can take care of your meals and lodging there. Of course, you can stay here, but it won’t work because it’s too uncomfortable for you, Chairman.”

“I can’t be indebted to President Kim that much. I’ll take care of my meals and lodging, so you don’t have to worry about that.”

“Yes, I understand. Then, you take care of that problem, and I’ll focus on the treatment.”

Chairman Shin Chun-oh nodded as if he understood and continued.

“Is there a meat restaurant around here?”

“Why are you suddenly looking for a meat restaurant at this hour?”

“I’m going to give you some nourishment. When I saw you treating me earlier, it seemed like you were using a lot of energy.”

Hyun-sung chuckled awkwardly. Then he continued.

“I’ve never experienced this before, so I don’t know what to say. Then I’ll guide you to the restaurant. Let’s get up.”

“Alright. Let’s go.”

The two got up and headed to the Miso Restaurant.

Ten days later.

Hyun-sung said to Chairman Shin Chun-oh,

“Chairman, today is the tenth day.”

“Has it already been that long? Anyway, I’m getting better because I’m receiving treatment, but what about you? You’re running your business during the day and treating me at night. It’s amazing that your body is holding up.”

“But it’s manageable because I only treat you once every two days. Well, shall we start the treatment today?”

As soon as Hyun-sung finished speaking, Chairman Shin Chun-oh lay down in a comfortable position as if he were used to it. Then, Hyun-sung grabbed Chairman Shin Chun-oh’s hand and began to concentrate.

Hyun-sung’s appearance had also changed a lot from the beginning, and he looked more stable.

How much time had passed?

Cold sweat began to flow from Hyun-sung’s face. But he couldn’t stop. Hyun-sung was concentrating even more and injecting his energy.

Unlike the first day, he didn’t lose consciousness.

After about 30 minutes, Hyun-sung opened his eyes.

“Chairman, it’s over.”

“Thank you for your hard work today. How’s your body?”

“Yes, I’m fine. I won’t lose consciousness like I did on the first day. I didn’t know my limits because it was my first time, but now I know when to stop when I reach a certain stage.”

That’s right. He didn’t know when to stop because he had no experience on the first day. That’s why he lost consciousness without realizing it.

But now he could feel that he had reached the extreme at some point. Once again, he realized that there was nothing as important as experience in everything.

Then Chairman Shin Chun-oh looked at Hyun-sung and opened his mouth.

“I have some business at the headquarters tomorrow, so I’m going to go to Seoul.”

“You don’t have to come anymore.”

“You don’t have to come? What does that mean? Does that mean you don’t need any more treatment?”

“Yes, that’s right. This is all I can do.”

Chairman Shin Chun-oh couldn’t help but be surprised. It had only been ten days since he started treatment. But he didn’t need any more treatment, so what was he talking about?

‘Could it be?’

Chairman Shin Chun-oh looked at Hyun-sung and immediately asked.

“Are you saying that the tumor has been completely removed?”

“I don’t feel any more tumors.”

“No, how can that be?”

“Of course, it can’t be explained logically. I can’t believe it either. But the important thing is that there are no more tumors that I can feel.”

“Heh, how can this happen…”

Chairman Shin Chun-oh was speechless. Something impossible had happened. It had only been ten days since he started treating the tumor, and it was gone. How can this be?

A while later.

Chairman Shin Chun-oh, who came out of Hyun-sung’s store, looked at Secretary Kim Young-woo, who was waiting, and said.

“Contact Dr. Oh. Tell him I’m going in the morning.”

“Yes, I understand. But what’s going on suddenly…”

“Something happened. I’ll tell you the details later, so call him first.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Secretary Kim Young-woo tilted his head and walked towards the public telephone booth.

The next day.

Korea University Hospital.

Dr. Oh Seung-woo, who checked the MRI results, said to Chairman Shin Chun-oh.

“Chairman, what on earth has happened in the meantime?”

“How did the results come out?”

“That’s… it’s gone. The tumor has disappeared without a trace.”

“Is that true?”

Chairman Shin Chun-oh doubted his ears. Even when he first heard from Hyun-sung that he could no longer feel the tumor, he had his doubts.

But the thing he had doubted had actually happened. The MRI results showed that there was no tumor.

How could this happen?

Then Dr. Oh Seung-woo asked again.

“Chairman, what on earth has happened?”

“That’s actually…”

Chairman Shin Chun-oh began to explain what had happened to Dr. Oh Seung-woo. As Chairman Shin Chun-oh’s explanation grew longer, Dr. Oh Seung-woo shook his head from side to side with an unbelievable expression.

Finally, when Chairman Shin Chun-oh’s explanation was over, Dr. Oh Seung-woo immediately said.

“Are you telling me to believe that now?”

“I can’t believe it either. But doesn’t the test result say so?”

“This is the first time in my 30 years as a doctor that this has happened. Who is that student that this unbelievable thing is happening?”

“I don’t know that either. The important thing is that the tumor in my body disappeared thanks to that student. Anyway, I have somewhere to go, so I’ll be on my way.”

Chairman Shin Chun-oh, who came out of the doctor’s office, hugged Secretary Kim Young-woo, who was waiting outside, with both arms.

Then, Secretary Kim Young-woo, who was surprised, said.

“Chairman, what’s going on?”

“The tumor in my body is gone.”

“Yes? Is that true?”

“I’m on my way to check the test results now. That student was right.”

“In the end, that student completely cured the chairman’s illness?”

Chairman Shin Chun-oh smiled as if he was in a good mood and nodded.

“Secretary Kim, let’s go back to Gangwon-do. I have to bow down to that student.”

“Shall we postpone the afternoon schedule?”

“Postpone it until tomorrow. I don’t think that’s important right now. How can I stay still when someone has done me a favor?”

“Yes, I understand. I’ll take you right away.”

The car carrying Chairman Shin Chun-oh left the hospital and headed back to Gangwon-do.

That evening.

It was when Hyun-sung was taking a break after finishing his business.

Clang.

Chairman Shin Chun-oh came in as the store door opened.

“Oh, Chairman!”

“Why are you so surprised?”

“Didn’t you say you had business at the headquarters today?”

“I postponed it. Meeting you today is my priority, so I ran here.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Chairman Shin Chun-oh suddenly began to bow to Hyun-sung.

Then Hyun-sung was surprised and raised Chairman Shin Chun-oh.

“Oh, Chairman, why are you doing this?”

“I’m on my way down here after checking the test results at the hospital.”

“That means…”

“You were right. I was wondering if I should get an MRI, but they said they couldn’t see the tumor anymore.”

Hyun-sung clenched his fist without realizing it.

To be honest, he couldn’t be 100% sure. Of course, he didn’t feel any more tumors, but he couldn’t be sure.

But when the test results showed that there was no tumor, he clenched his fist without realizing it.

Hyun-sung looked at Chairman Shin Chun-oh and said.

“Congratulations, Chairman.”

“It’s all thanks to you. I don’t know how to repay this favor.”

“Haven’t you already given me a lot? That alone is more than enough for me.”

“That was the price for finding the tumor in the first place, and this is different. I can’t stay still when I’ve completely removed the tumor from my body, can I?”

Chairman Shin Chun-oh took out a white envelope from his pocket and handed it to Hyun-sung.

“Take this.”

“What is this again?”

“Have you ever heard of a blank check?”

“I’ve heard of it, but… is this really that blank check?”

Hyun-sung took out the check from the envelope.

It was a blank check with no markings in the amount field.

Chairman Shin Chun-oh continued.

“Write down as much as you want and use it anytime.”

“…”

Hyun-sung had nothing to say. What else could he say in this situation?

“And one more thing.”

“Yes?”

“That check is not only for money.”

Hyun-sung tilted his head.

Then Chairman Shin Chun-oh smiled and continued.

“In addition to money, I will fulfill anything you want from what you want.”

“Is there such a thing?”

“In that case, of course, this check will not be accepted at commercial banks.”

“That means…”

“Come and find me in person. There will be many things in life in the future. If you ever need my help in life, come and find me anytime.”

Hyun-sung looked at Chairman Shin Chun-oh.

Chairman Shin Chun-oh has now volunteered to be Hyun-sung’s sponsor. Whether it’s money or something else, he’ll take responsibility.

Hyun-sung continued.

“I received a very big gift today.”

“What gift is bigger than a person’s life? Anyway, I’ll be behind you from now on, so fly as much as you want.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Hyun-sung nodded, looking at Chairman Shin Chun-oh.
