It was a somewhat impulsive action, so his heart pounded in a different way than when he had searched for Seo Baekhan’s name earlier.ef118025aae4cdb8

Well, it probably wouldn’t amount to much. I was only twelve years old, and all I had done in terms of public activities was show my face at a musical concert hosted by the Imperial Family. And that event was just last night.701dd8f870c0524b

However, contrary to his anxious expectations, there wasn’t a single article of note when he typed ‘Joo Taehyun’ into the search bar. To be precise, there were far more stories about other Joo Taehyuns than about ‘Joo Taehyun of DH.’3d606477d027a4ba

His story was so buried among Joo Taehyuns of all kinds of professions that it was hard to even find. It’s not an unusual name, but it’s not exactly common either. If not that, he had only occasionally see very old posts written in some bizarre style like, “Hyongs and noonahs, please recommend items for Taehyun uwu.”d8b28245a9161404

After hesitating for a while at the more pathetic result than he had imagined, Joo Taehyun clicked on the portal site’s biographical dictionary page and diligently scrolled through to see where his profile was located. He carefully examined it from the first page, lest he miss it… but it wasn’t there.0023c82b188c94e5

A notice appeared stating that the biographical dictionary wasn’t arranged based on social position or asset size, but rather changed dynamically depending on how often people searched for the person and how much they clicked on the information.1ee42ef287c0c959

From the start, he didn’t expect as much as Seo Baekhan. On a whim, he searched for a few of the peers he had met yesterday, and their results weren’t as pathetic as his. At least there were a few short articles about which competitions they had entered and which awards they had won.819c31427486f537

A moment ago, he had thought, “I’m still young, so it’s okay, right?” He felt ashamed of himself for even thinking that. Perhaps because he started public activities late, his parents might have deliberately avoided exposing him until now, a conjecture that briefly crossed his mind.d9defb8c3628266b

Joo Taehyun shifted his 27315b389a uncomfortable body and lay 700e9bf860 down facing the back e7778e36ed of the sofa. Had he grown taller 902dc7e4f8 again in the meantime? There was already not enough 1a757d2b21 space to stretch his legs a7dd0b91f4 out straight.4414a6914a8adcc5

In any case, all he 70a862ab7f could do right now was 3217ec1587 study hard and get into 79b45fbc2d a good school.1349c7967ab226a5

Come to think of it, that’s what Seo Baekhan had been doing all along. Studying hard and getting into a good school. Of course, thanks to his superior intellect, he probably had many opportunities to show off his achievements, and the smart guy probably never missed those timings.3bae9a793dda1b0d

But what was a good school anyway? Could you learn more by going to an expensive private school? Or should he go abroad? There’s probably no better way to broaden his horizons than that, right? It definitely wasn’t because Seo Baekhan was going to America that he was imagining this. His parents had been talking about studying abroad for a while now anyway…55b3e0aaaf4c0dd7

After fiddling with the phone, which had become warm from the heat, for a long time, Joo Taehyun closed his eyes. Was it because he had been holding the device, which he usually didn’t even go near, all morning? His eyes felt very dry.4411ce0b741c6bb4

Joo Taehyun gently rubbed 351511eb28 his fingertips over his 18ae2265e7 eyelids, which were as 81f69b829c hot as the screen, 5ddf91d3d3 and unknowingly fell fast 97ddc462e7 asleep.28cb3b635781d8c1

He didn’t usually enjoy taking naps because he hated how quickly the day passed, but he had tossed and turned all night worrying about whether or not to touch his phone, so he was strangely sleepy.707b3f3b75d328ee

A voice calling his name affectionately lingered and scattered around his ears several times, but strangely, he couldn’t open his eyes. He just felt languid all over.eeefedff165399f0

Someone came and went, putting a blanket over him, turning on the humidifier because he must be dry, and raising the temperature in the study so he wouldn’t be cold. They even meticulously adjusted everything from the lighting’s saturation to the curtains’ angle, so that the beautifully sleeping child wouldn’t wake up from the glare. It was the familiar love and caring he had always received.47e92045343d5cdc

Joo Taehyun woke c7d770cce8 up shallowly and d2ed6d0286 whined as if ea00bbab0e acting spoiled, but 6e7d5d944e soon closed his 82055fde35 mouth and fell 59d95af7ad back into a ab155044e3 peaceful sleep.fbcb1418c75f062f

Director Yoo Younghwa had rushed home upon receiving a call from the nanny saying that her precious youngest was strangely only sleeping today. She was so dedicated to her work at the association that she preferred to be called “Director” rather than “Manager,” but before the nanny could even finish saying that the child’s condition wasn’t good, she had packed up her work and rushed out of the office. Unfortunately, Chairman Joo was out inspecting factories around Suwon with his eldest son, so she couldn’t reach him either.5d2dddfb226d13e6
