Chapter 19

As Masika and her grandmother packed their valuables, the grandmother asked Hoon about his life and the family that had taken him in. Hoon's eyes misted, but he composed himself, promising to share his story once they were in Seoul.

With their belongings packed, Hoon stepped outside to make a few calls. He summoned a team of engineers and trusted personnel to construct a state-of-the-art nursing home in the village, complete with modern amenities and sustainable energy sources.

"Yes, boss!" the team responded in unison, eager to get started. Before hanging up, Hoon added, "This village may be unknown to many, but my assistant will accompany you and ensure everything runs smoothly."

As the villagers bid them farewell, Hoon expressed his gratitude. "Thank you for taking my grandmother and me in. You've given us a home and a sense of belonging."

With their belongings loaded onto the helicopter, Masika and her grandmother said their final goodbyes to the elderly villagers. Masika promised to visit them often, tears streaming down her face.

As they prepared to board the helicopter, Masika and her grandmother hesitated, fear etched on their faces. Hoon reassured them with a warm smile, "Hey, don't worry! It won't eat you, and it won't fall. I'm here, trust me."

Masika giggled, and Hoon chuckled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "So, what do you call this thing?" Masika asked, her curiosity getting the better of her.

Hoon grinned. "This, my dear, is a helicopter. It's going to take us to our new home in Seoul.

As they soared through the skies, Masika gazed out the window in wonder. "Wow, look at the clouds! They're so fluffy!"

Hoon chuckled, sitting beside her. "I'm glad you're enjoying the view. We'll be in Seoul soon."

Masika turned to him, her eyes sparkling. "What's Seoul like? Is it big and noisy?"

Hoon smiled. "Seoul is a bustling city, but it's also beautiful. You'll love it. And our new home is amazing. You'll have all the space you need to explore and learn."

The grandmother, seated across from them, smiled warmly. "We're grateful for your kindness, Hoon. You've given us a second chance at life."

Hoon's expression softened. "You're my family, Halmoni. I want to give you the best life possible."

As they flew over the landscape, Masika asked Hoon more questions about Seoul, his business, and his life. Hoon answered patiently, happy to share his world with her.

The assistant and bodyguards, seated at the back of the helicopter, exchanged quiet glances. They had never seen their boss so carefree and happy. Masika had brought a new light into Hoon's life, and they were grateful to witness it.

As the helicopter began its descent into Seoul, Masika's excitement grew. "We're almost there! What will our new home be like, Hoon?"

Hoon grinned mischievously. "You'll see. Just remember, it's a surprise.
