235 episodes. this would be happiness [Complete]
Black suit and black tie.
Dressed in all black, I stood in front of the mirror, touching my hair.
Today is not an outside event or a date, but one should not be overly stylish.
It was just a day to be approached in a calm and neat outfit.
December 26th.
After Christmas, everyone is relaxing to cool off from the heat of the previous day, but today was a more important and special day for me than Christmas.
“Well then, shall we go?”
After leaving the house, I drove my own horse and ran on the road.
Running like that reminded me of the first time I came to Australia.
I was the first to buy this car using about half of the money I earned at the casino.
It could be because money didn’t look like money back then.
Ironically, I thought money was more insignificant then than now, when I became the richest person in the world.
After living in a panic over a million won, luckily gaining abilities and earning billions in a night, his sassy nose and arrogance grew.
Even though it was only three years ago, I remembered the time when I was young and my face heated up.
-Jiying.
I opened the window and felt a warm breeze.
Even when I was in Korea, I was shivering from the bitter cold, but in Australia, the seasons are opposite, so even at the end of the year, the weather was hot.
It’s the third year of the year, but it didn’t seem to fit as much as this.
In Korea, I used to enjoy the atmosphere of the start of a new year when the warm spring comes after spending winter in Korea.
‘I’ll have to adapt in the future.’
If I adjust to the snowless New Year’s holiday, I’m sure I’ve become an Australian.
It had been a long time since I had driven alone without Jackie, so I had all kinds of thoughts.
But it wasn’t bad.
Because the destination was not close.
As I was running while thinking about various things, I finally arrived in Melbourne.
I parked the car not far from the city.
Melbourne Cemetery.
It was a cemetery in Melbourne.
I was here to meet him.
Gary Parker.
He was resting forever here.
And today was his anniversary.
Why haven’t you been visiting this place?
It was simple.
Because I haven’t had anything to tell him yet.
Now is?
I could speak frankly.
This is because a week ago, the Resource Energy Sovereign Wealth Fund Investment Committee was finally established.
When I read Gary’s letters in the past.
He said he saw that my future and fate were in Henry’s hands.
So you knew.
Henry’s trying to build a wealth punt, and I’m going to help.
And that all of that is for the sake of his homeland, Australia.
I didn’t write directly to the letter, but I could tell.
Perhaps it was because of his heart that he opened his eyes when I arrived in Australia.
I definitely want to believe that it is.
There must be a reason why he suddenly became able to use his uncontrolled ability just because he stepped on Australian soil.
‘Finally, today, I am able to inform you of the results.’
Gary Parker, who saw the future, did not see the results.
The time he saw was up to the moment the letter was delivered to me.
This is the result and also the beginning.
The Resource Energy Sovereign Wealth Fund is just the beginning, and it will take a lot more time to reach its target of trillions of dollars.
So now I plan to come here every year.
– Jerk. jerk.
I walked past the old arched front door, leaving behind the tombstones lined up on the left and right.
Is it because of Australia’s hot sunshine and clear skies?
Although it was a cemetery, it was not gloomy or gloomy, but rather peaceful and comfortable.
“I heard about this.”
I’ve seen pictures before, but Gary Parker’s tombstone is nothing special.
It was not easily recognizable because it had neither luxurious decorations nor huge size.
Even though he is a modest and chaebol with no characteristics, his death is no different from that of ordinary people.
Thanks to you, it was quite laborious to find the location of the tombstone.
Then I stopped walking.
It was because a familiar figure appeared in front of a certain tombstone.
“Henry!?”
At my words, Henry adjusted his fedora and turned his head.
“Edward, what’s going on here?”
“Henry?”
“It’s me, because I come to see this friend every year. Heh heh.”
In front of Henry was a tombstone engraved in the fine handwriting of Gary Parker.
“If I had known this would happen, I would have come with you. I came here to tell you about the sovereign wealth fund.”
“That’s what I already told you. You did a great job.”
“It would not have been possible without Henry’s help.”
“Heh heh, that’s right. That’s what we did together. Yeah, that’s right.”
With a proud smile, Henry continued.
“Isn’t it funny that this friend in the grave allowed you and me to meet?”
“Maybe it was because Henry was afraid he would be lonely.”
“Your only friend thought of me when he died and sent you away? Hahaha, that makes sense. Come to think of it, I didn’t answer your question back then, did I?”
I tilted my head.
“What question?
“A question about whether we are friends.”
“Oh, is that? Haha, it’s almost as if you heard it.”
Henry shook his head and said.
“No, even if you show it with your actions, it’s okay to listen and express it with your words.”
“……”
“You are my dear friend, Edward.”
Damn, I’m embarrassed.
“Thank you. Henry is like a father and a dear friend I met when I first came to Australia.”
Henry smiled softly and patted my shoulder.
“Stop it, if we talk longer, it will only disturb people who are resting comfortably.”
“Wait a minute. I haven’t said goodbye yet.”
I approached Gary Parker’s grave and made a big Korean-style bow.
“Thank you. Thanks to you, I got hope and was able to see the world anew. I don’t know if the Resource Energy Sovereign Wealth Fund will pay off for the cornea, but I will continue to do my best for this country you loved and cherished.”
Whatever the reason that gave me the cornea.
If it wasn’t for the cornea he gave me, I might still not be able to see, and even if I had received a different cornea to restore my sight, I wouldn’t be able to live the life I have now.
I was given such a great opportunity, and I received the grace that was not enough even if I paid for it for the rest of my life.
What have you done?
“I’ll see you again.”
I greeted the benefactor in the tomb like that.
***
Uluru.
A huge rock located in the center of Australia, also called Australia’s navel or the center of the world.
In the barren desert where there is nothing, there is a single huge rock like a mountain.
Perhaps it’s because of its unique topography that this place, considered a sanctuary by Aboriginal Aboriginal peoples, is now more famous as a world-class tourist attraction.
I found it alone with Jackie.
Uluru changes color according to the height of the sun, and the colors at sunset and sunrise were the most mysterious and famous.
So I came here to see the sunset and sunrise.
“Hello. Mr. Jean, Miss Berry. Welcome to Longitude.”
The manager of Longitude, a luxury glamping hotel, came out to greet us.
This is located in Kata Tjuta National Park, and you can see Uluru from within the lodge.
“Did you have any discomfort when you came?”
“Yes, the staff were friendly.”
I have come all the way here from Uluru Airport with a warm welcome.
There was no discomfort to be found.
“We will provide you with the best service during your stay. If you have any special needs, please tell the manager here.”
He said, pointing to the employee next to him.
“uh?”
When I saw the manager’s face and name tag, I smiled happily.
I’m sure you’ll meet her here.
“Emma?”
“Do you know me…?”
“You don’t remember me? Why did you sit next to the plane when you came to Australia?”
“Ah! That Korean then!”
“That’s right, hahaha.”
Australia is a large country, but since the places where people live are relatively limited, sometimes people meet again.
“I remember you said you were backpacking back then, but you haven’t returned to England yet?”
“Yes, I want to live in Australia more.”
According to her, the place has a luxury name, but says a lot of workaholics work there.
“Anyway, it’s nice to meet you like this. I’ll take care of you while you’re here.”
“I’m really looking forward to it, hoho.”
Emma led us to our assigned room.
It was one of 16 independent glamping tents, and it was a structure that did not infringe on privacy as it had a distance.
Jackie and I simply packed our bags, had dinner and headed to the balcony.
Although it was summer, it felt cold at night because it was a desert.
Emma set the bonfire table on the balcony and brought a thick blanket.
We hugged each other, wrapped our blankets on, and looked straight ahead.
As the sun went down, Uluru was burning bright red.
“Wow, that’s great.”
Jackie smirked and smiled.
“Did you have a good time coming?”
“I will, ho ho. It was good to hear from Edward.”
She didn’t like it when I told her to spend the holidays in Uluru.
It seems that this place could not be very attractive to her, who frequently came and went to the Western Australian Outback for geological surveys.
However, I pretended to be unsuccessful in accepting my repeated requests.
-Shoot it.
I could hear the wind sweeping through the bushes that were gathered together like broccoli.
At that moment, the sun set and the night sky unfolded as if the wind was pushing the sight in front of them.
A nebula, a cluster of stars, took the place of the clouds and began to flow like a river.
“Jackie, you know what? It was like this desert when we first met.”
“When you went on an expedition to Louis Hill?”
“Yeah, I don’t know how pretty Jackie looked when she was dancing under the Milky Way. Haha.”
It was a compliment, but she opened her axe eyes and pinched my side.
“Ugh, men!”
“Ouch! Why are you pinching me?”
“You had a girlfriend back then!”
Whoops, was it?
had been completely forgotten.
“I’ll be prepared if I turn my eyes on another woman in the future!”
“Oh, no. What’s with the eyes.”
“I heard that a woman named Emma was also smirking.”
“Wow, moo, what are you talking about! I’ve never done that!”
“But why are you stuttering?”
That’s right.
I must have been stabbed without realizing that there was a power that I stumbled upon in the past.
“Chu, chu, it’s cold. Oh, it’s cold.”
I hugged her even more.
“Do you know that I’m only getting more and more naughty?”
“Originally, it was said that as love deepens, so does nurturing.”
“Pee, if you can’t speak…”
Jackie pouted his mouth and gave a sullen expression.
I couldn’t stand it and took my mouth.
-side.
“What is it all of a sudden?”
“It’s so cute, hahaha.”
“It’s like a guinea pig.”
Jackie had a face that didn’t hate him even though he gave him a pint glass.
We joked like that, we talked seriously, and as the night progressed, I brought out things that I had not been able to tell her.
It was about my abilities.
After hearing all the explanations, Jackie wasn’t too surprised and just looked at me calmly.
I swallowed my saliva and said as if confessing.
“That’s how it came to be. Everything I’ve done so far has been thanks to his cornea.”
“No, it was possible because it was Edward. He said he did, and when the cornea went to someone else, the ability didn’t come out. So it’s entirely your achievement.”
“……”
“I’m just saying, don’t feel like you’re in debt, because he wouldn’t want it either.”
“Really?”
“Okay. And look over there.”
Jackie continued, pointing to the scenery in front of him.
“Thanks to Edward’s sovereign wealth fund, won’t this beautiful nature be preserved like this? In that sense, the Australians owe Edward to him.”
“……!”
“I’ve said it before? You’re doing well enough.”
She covered my cheeks with her hands and gave me a short kiss on the lips.
“So take yourself.”
“yes.”
I enjoyed the great outdoors with her and talked a lot all night long.
What has happened so far and the future we will make in the future.
on a wide variety of topics.
At that moment, the dawn of the new year dawned.
I felt my heart swell as I watched the light rising on the horizon and Uluru blazing again.
It was more beautiful than any sunrise I had ever seen.
“Jackie, sunrise…”
He muttered his words and closed his mouth quietly.
It was because I saw her sleeping soundly, leaning on my shoulder all of a sudden.
‘This would be happiness.’
Let’s feel this feeling every moment in the future.
So I made up my mind and looked at the rising sun.
