Taejonbirok Volume 1 Episode 23
Chapter 8 – Going to Yurim (3)
“Father!”
Moon Eun-ji shouted with an angry face. Even though his daughter suddenly opened the door and came in, showing an impolite behavior, Moon Yu-hwan greeted Moon Eun-ji with a calm face. It was as if he had expected everything.
“Why are you doing that?”
“Please say something to that person!”
“That guy?”
“The new guy!”
Moon Yu-hwan smiled broadly.
A while ago, it seemed like he was talking about a weirdo who played baduk.
“Come to think of it, I didn’t even ask his name. So, did he do something wrong?”
Moon Ji opened her mouth with a red face.
“That guy doesn’t come out of his room all day!”
“What’s wrong with that?”
“I sleep all day long, except for the meals I eat in my room! I’ve been doing that all seven days and nights since I’ve been here.”
Moon Yu-hwan tilted his head.
“Seven days and nights?”
“Yes! You’ve been sleeping for seven days without even washing! The blankets are getting moldy!”
Moon Yu-hwan laughed heartily and said.
“Then change the blanket often.”
“Father!”
“What else is the problem?”
Moon Eun-ji said with a face filled with pain.
“Why are you leaving him like that?”
"then?"
“Didn’t your father say that laziness is a sin? He always emphasized that you should be diligent. Then why don’t you blame that person for being lazy? Even though he is a guest, the atmosphere is terrible because of that one person. There are also bad words coming out of the other students’ mouths. I am worried that the atmosphere of Jangwon will be ruined!”
Moon Yu-hwan shook his head.
“If one lazy person is noticed and cannot study hard, it is because of his lack of cultivation, not because the lazy person is wrong.”
“But, father.”
“Leave it alone.”
“…….”
Moon Yu-hwan smiled broadly.
“Eunji.”
When Moon Yu-hwan spoke in a quiet voice, Moon Eun-ji thought she was too excited and lowered her head as she answered.
“Yes, father.”
“Do you know why baduk is called sudam?”
“I don’t know about the girl.”
“It’s literally true. It’s called water talk because you can talk with your hands.”
“…….”
Moon Yu-hwan calmly appeased Moon Eun-ji.
There was conviction in his voice.
“I like baduk. They say that when you play baduk, you can get to know your opponent. You can hide your words and your expressions, but you can’t hide your character. The character contains the world that person has lived in.”
"yes."
“It is said that a person with an impatient personality cannot play Go leisurely, and a person with an easygoing personality cannot enjoy battle. In this way, the life and personality of a person are completely revealed in the person’s style.”
“But that…….”
“His temperament was extremely rough and urgent. I have never seen anyone with such an extreme temperament. Judging from that, he was neither lazy nor easygoing. He must have lived a rough and difficult life, which we cannot imagine.”
“…….”
Moon Ji-eun bit her lips tightly. Her father’s words were the exact same. There was no room to delve into them.
“When the sun is bright, the shadows are dark. If he is lazy, it means that his life has been difficult. You don’t drive away a bird that has come to the eaves to avoid the rain, and you don’t blame it for not flying through the rain. So why don’t you let him rest a little longer?”
Moon Yu-hwan's words were impeccable and accurate, and they were good words that allowed us to infer his character.
But there was something Moon Yu-hwan didn't know.
It was mostly true that a person's character was revealed by his mannerisms.
However, Moon Yu-hwan never imagined that there would be someone who learned baduk in an extreme situation like Wi Yeon-ho experienced.
How could Moon Yu-hwan know that, thanks to this, Wi Yeon-ho had developed a personality that was completely opposite to his original personality?
Moon Yu-hwan was now gravely mistaken.
"All right."
Moon Ji-eun still had a look of discontent on her face, but she couldn't argue with her father any longer, so she nodded.
'You're being deceived!'
When you listen to her, it seems like her father is right, but Moon Eun-ji's intuition is clearly telling her that her father is wrong. The woman's intuition was whispering to her.
That weird new guy who just came into this house is definitely a disaster.
And Moon Ji's intuition was accurate.
If Moon Yu-hwan had been able to properly guess Wei Yan-ho's personality, he would never have reacted like this.
It was all a result of Moon Yu-hwan's mistake due to a distorted atmosphere.
What is unfortunate is that Moon Yu-hwan never once imagined that a human could be that lazy. If he had been a little lazy, he would have suspected it, but when he saw extreme laziness, he thought it was a reaction to the hardships of life.
To tell the truth, how could a person sleep for seven days?

The tragedy was that Wei Yan-ho was such a lazy bum that it was possible, and Moon Yu-hwan was such a sensible person.
“So try not to blame him too much.”
“……Yes, Father. I will step aside.”
As Moon Eun-ji carefully stepped out of the room, Moon Yu-hwan smiled broadly and took out a book.
“Is it the wind?”
Moon Yu-hwan, who was mumbling something incomprehensible, began to read a book quietly.
Moon Eun-ji came out of the room with a dissatisfied look on her face. Then, gritting her teeth, she headed to Wi Yeon-ho's room.
If we leave it like this, that lazy bum will just waste Jangwon's rice without doing anything. Things are already bad these days, and he can't even feed a family like that.
As soon as Moon Ji-eun arrived at Wi Yeon-ho's room, she opened the door without hesitation and went inside.
"eww!"
A musty smell stung my nose.
On the bed, wrapped in the blanket, was a giant worm. It was so disgusting that it looked like a really big worm.
A person comes in making such a loud noise and you don't even react!
“Get up!”
Moon Eun-ji shouted, but Wi Yeon-ho did not move. Moon Eun-ji approached Wi Yeon-ho and pulled the blanket over him.
“Hey!”
But the blanket didn't move at all.
"profit!"
Moon Ji-eun groaned and grabbed the blanket, but it remained motionless as if it were under a huge rock.
A light came into Moon Eun-ji's eyes.
“I said, get up!”
When strength failed, there was a voice.
Moon Eun-ji woke up Wi Yeon-ho with a sharp scream.
"why……."
A weak voice leaked out.
“The sun is high in the sky! Wake up!”
“……Really? Then tell me when the sun goes down.”
“Don’t get up right now!”
Wi Yeon-ho did not answer.
Moon Ji-eun ground her teeth.
“If you don’t get up right now, I’ll bring you cold water and pour it over you! If you still don’t get up, I’ll set you on fire!”
Wei Yanho, who had not reacted much in the cold water, began to stir at the sound of fire. The blanket that had been covering Wei Yanho like a pupa opened slightly, and his head popped out.
“Oh, what’s wrong?”
“Why are you like that? What on earth do you do? What do you do, to be lazy all day and night in a place where everyone else is studying?”
“People who study study because they want to study, and I sleep because I want to sleep. What’s the problem?”
“You’re discouraging people!”
“I was just stuck in my room, why is it because of me…….”
Moon Ji-eun was speechless.
This guy looks so stupid, but why does he speak so well?
“Shut up! Even if it weren’t for that reason, I can’t stand seeing you rolling around in your blankets for seven days and nights without washing! Who do you think washes those blankets! Go out and wash them right now.”
Wi Yeon-ho had a sad expression on his face.
“I have nothing to do…….”
“Come on!”
Wi Yeon-ho shook his head.
I've never seen anyone this reckless. I never thought I'd hear such things from someone who isn't even my family.
“Can’t I just stay here?”
“Then instead of wasting rice, go out and buy some food to eat!”
Wi Yeon-ho was troubled.
If it had been the old Wei Yanhu, he would have fallen back to sleep without any hesitation, but the current Wei Yanhu did not have the guts to do so.
First of all, Wei Yanhu had no money.
Secondly, the food served here was quite edible.
In fact, what would not taste good to Wei Yanhu, who had not eaten anything for several years?
Since coming out of the cave, Wei Yanhu's only pleasures have been being lazy and eating. But now one of those great pleasures has been taken away from him.
“Ugh…….”
Wi Yeon-ho's decision was quick.
Laziness is good, but I couldn't give up food.
It would have been better if he had never eaten it in the first place, but now the pleasure of eating had become something he could not give up. Five years of living with Baek Mu-han had added a new element to Wi Yeon-ho: gluttony.
“Can I just wash it?”
"is it so!"
“After washing up?”
“…….”
“Can I go back to sleep after I shower?”
“No!”
Wi Yeon-ho was impressed.
“I told you there’s nothing to do anyway!”
“You have to pay for your meals! I don’t know about you, but our situation is not good either. If you are studying, I would understand to some extent, but for someone like you who is just playing around, there is no rice to give!”
“No, your father is definitely…….”
“I manage the money!”
“…….”
Wi Yeon-ho became sad.
But what can you say when the owner comes out like this?
“Then what should I do?”
“Go wash up first!”
“No, I’ll start with the work…….”
“I can’t stand the smell, so go wash up first! Don’t you understand what I’m saying?”
“Ugh.”
As Moon Eun-ji's voice grew sharper, Wi Yeon-ho went out without saying a word.
Moon Ji shook her head.
She is also Yuga's child.
He is a person who has always been careful with his words and actions because he believes that yelling at others or nagging them in this way is impolite.
I have never acted like this towards anyone other than Wi Yeon-ho.
But Wei Yanhui was different.
His laziness had the power to destroy the common sense she had believed to be right until now. Just by being lazy, he could make the studies he had done for over ten years worthless.
“How can there be such a person?”
To Moon Eun-ji, Wi Yeon-ho was a mystery in itself.
She frowned and picked up the blanket that Wei Yanhu had wrapped around her.
"phew……."
When I pulled away the blanket, I saw the mark where Wei Yanho had been lying on the bed, engraved like a fossil.
“How can a person…….”
Moon Ji shook her head. As she removed the blanket that covered the bed and the quilt, a person walked into the room.
"uh?"
Moon Ji-eun cried out in embarrassment.
"who are you?"
