165. It’s good, it’s really good. There are also jaguars

Shaaa

A huge rock covered with green moss that seems to have preserved the nature of the beginning.

Trees protruding vigorously from the cracks in the rocks, as if boasting of strong vitality.

The water in the valley, which is so transparent that it looks like a pale emerald color, looks like a bathhouse where fairies wash their bodies.

The sound of flowing water and the chirping of unknown birds resonated like an orchestra in this place that embraces the natural beauty as it is.

“Certainly something to be proud of. I never thought there would be a place like this in Korea.”

Gyuha looked around and nodded his head plainly, as if acknowledging it.

Of course, when I lived a life in a time when modern civilization was not developed,

Even if you get away from the village a little bit, it was full of places that kept the original nature intact,

It was certainly not expected that in modern life there would be nature so unspoiled.

“This is a place no one really knows. It is a place where my grandfather discovered the herb Cassida, and he told me specifically about it, my grandson. My brother must have been frustrated lately. You’re so famous you can’t even go anywhere. Enjoy the freedom for the first time in a long time. ha ha ha.”

It wasn’t particularly frustrating, but after seeing Yang Seong-il, who was infinitely proud, he just kept his mouth shut.

“Brother, that one looks the best. Will you sit over there?”

Yang Seong-il pointed with his finger at a suitable place near a pool in a valley that looked quite deep.

There were not many large stones compared to the surroundings, and the terrain was flat, so it seemed the most suitable.

“yes. It looks best over there.”

The two people unloaded the camping supplies from the car one by one.

“Brother, you can just sit down…”

“We have to do it together to finish quickly. And I like to do things like this.”

The two of them got along well, starting with a tarp that blocks the sunlight and pitching a fairly spacious hexagonal tent.

With the installation of a folding wooden table and a relaxing chair, it started to feel like camping.

“brother. You are now resting in a chair here. The rest are small things, so I can do it myself.”

At Yang Sung-il’s desperate words, Gyu-ha sat in a relax chair without saying a word and looked at the cool stream of the valley.

Most of the settings were completed when I put a gas lantern full of emotions on a wooden shelf and went up to a Bluetooth speaker.

“It is done. Ha ha ha how are you, brother? Is it worth it?”

“Whoops, it’s obvious that you’ve been camping a lot, Seong-il.”

As a self-proclaimed camping maniac, Yang Seong-il seemed quite familiar with handling camping supplies.

“After working diligently, are you hungry? Shall we grill the meat right away?”

“It’s good. You have to eat the meat right away.”

Yang Seong-il placed cast iron grills on the prepared burner.

I opened the icebox and took out two well-wrapped cartons of meat.

“As this is a special camping with my brother, I prepared it with special meat. First of all, this is Korean beef two-horn number nine sirloin, and this is Iberico flower neck, and this is Prechilek lamb ribs.”

“That’s right. I’m looking forward to it, Seong-il.”

It was sincere.

He was well aware of how delicious the meat eaten in the open air was, and moreover, he had high expectations for his favorite Korean beef number 9, the Iberico pork neck, which was raised in Spain on acorns.

“I’ll try to bake properly. Please wait.”

Like a strong flame burner boasting strong firepower, the cast iron grills quickly heated up.

When I put a cube of butter on top of it, it melted like ice cream.

“going.”

Chiyiyi profit

With a tremendous sound that stimulates the sense of hearing, the thick Korean beef loin was cooked on the griddle as if dancing.

The Korean beef, which met with butter, caused a Maillard reaction and ripened deliciously, and along the way, they added garnishes such as Brussels sprouts, button mushrooms, and asparagus.

The savory aroma of butter that stimulated the appetite spread around.

“Big. this is this Right now, it’s between rare and medium, but now, turn off the heat and rest for about 5 minutes to complete. brother.”

The cooked Korean beef sirloin and vegetable garnish were picked up with tongs and placed on a prepared wooden plate.

“Sungil-ah, are you serious about meat? Like it.”

“Meat is love, brother.”

The two, united by meat, gulped down their saliva and stared anxiously at the wooden plate.

“It’s all done, brother! I can’t stand it any longer. I will cut.”

When the beef sirloin was cut with a folding knife, bright red juice flowed out, revealing the bright red flesh.

“Kya!! It’s ripe, brother. After all, you know that beef tastes better when it’s a little undercooked, right?”

“I can eat raw meat as well.”

Yang Seong-il hurriedly poured the whiskey he had prepared into an ice glass.

“This is a specially airlifted Macallan 18 Year Old. Ha.. I’m already excited. Let’s eat.”

A thick slice of meat and asparagus went straight to my mouth.

well well

“Haa… that’s crazy. Every time you chew, the gravy bursts out, and the asparagus balances it out just right.”

Hurulup

“Big”

The two of them have nothing to envy in the world when they even drink their mouths with thick oak-flavored whiskey.

“I come to camping for this taste. brother. How are you?”

In the blink of an eye, Gyu-ha, who was eating her third piece of meat, answered seriously with puffy cheeks.

“the best. Camping was about coming to eat.”

After frantically inhaling the Korean beef tenderloin steak, the two of them ate the Iberico flower neck and lamb ribs, and finally felt full and patted their swollen stomachs.

“Whoa… I really ate like crazy. Ugh… I’m going to explode. Is your brother okay?”

“yes. I ate well. I don’t know how long it’s been since I’ve been eating like this.”

Yang Seong-il felt the sincerity of Kyu-ha’s words, and Yang Seong-il’s shoulders felt strong.

“Brother, but you know what? You think you can’t eat anymore? You’re going to cook Budae-jjigae later, right? It goes in very well. I’ll bet you. ha ha ha.”

So full of stomach, the two enjoyed camping while drinking whiskey while enjoying the scenery like a gift from nature.

The sun has fallen and the soft light of the gas lantern and the firewood burning like a bonfire in the brazier set the end of the emotions.

The time was between summer and autumn, but the valley where the sun had fallen was quite chilly, and the two fell into a deep conversation while basking their hands and feet in the heat from the bonfire.

“brother. Actually, I think I’m going to enlist now. CP called me a while ago.”

“Really? Congratulations, Seongil. I worked hard and it went well.”

Yang Seong-il, sitting with his head raised as if embarrassed by Kyu-ha’s congratulations, looked at the cluster of stars embroidering the pitch-black sky.

“Thank you. I am more than happy to be congratulated by my brother. It’s been like 5 years. but is it weird? It’s the moment I’ve been waiting for so much, but I’m excited and afraid at the same time, right? Worrying about not having to do it, fearing failure, thinking of a safe path. Then I’m disappointed in myself. This is how I feel these days hahahahaha. Aren’t you so ugly?”

Gyu-ha answered while looking at Yang Seong-il, looking at the sparkling stars studded here and there in the pitch-black night sky as if grumbling.

“Everyone is like that. The moment you dreamed of, when the opportunity you longed for comes right in front of you, there are many cases where you can’t reach out. And I regret that moment as time passes. The person I knew, Yang Seong-il, was braver than anyone else. You can tell just by looking at the courageous stepping out in the Bataclang.”

“Brother, it wasn’t because I had courage… . Because I’m fast… .”

“I don’t go out of my way just because I’m quick-witted. I think you are brave enough and not an idiot who kicks the opportunity that comes your way.”

“brother….”

Yang Seong-il’s face, which had been looking at Gyu-ha with wide eyes, turned towards the vermilion bonfire that shimmered as if dancing.

“Actually, at that time, when my older brother saved the people there, I realized that he was not an ordinary person. Well… that’s nonsense. There’s no way a normal person could do something like that.”

stop

At Yang Sung-il’s words, Kyu-ha’s hand, which was about to put a piece of firewood into the furnace, hesitated.

“But I thought it had nothing to do with who my brother was. I know you are a very special person, but you have already become special enough. I didn’t think it would be bad for only me to know that the already special person Song Gyu-ha is actually more special than that.”

For some reason, Gyu-ha felt a tickle in his chest at Yang Seong-il’s sincerity.

It’s a feeling I often feel these days, but I was embarrassed inside because it was unfamiliar to Kyu-ha.

moderate intoxication,

A bonfire lighted the surroundings,

The cry of an unknown grasshopper,

When all of this comes together, Kyu-ha does something unprecedented for the first time in his life.

“Sungil, you… how much do you know about me?”

“Brother? Well… . First of all, I know everything that hyung-nim talked about on TV. A little… . I’m careful, but my older brother asked me. First of all, my parents passed away early, I grew up in an orphanage and a temple, I worked in a butchery early on, met Han Jung-hee, the team manager of Stella, and entered the path of a full-fledged actor… ? I only know that much.”

gulp

Gyuha gulped down the remaining whiskey in his glass and opened his mouth.

“I… have been lacking something since childhood. Looking back, I think it was like that since I was born.”

Yang Seong-il also listened intently to Kyu-ha’s story, which he had heard for the first time.

“emotion… . As a human being, the emotions you should naturally feel were dry. My parents got into an accident trying to do something about me. Actually, I was calm even then. Because I am an abnormal human being who lacks something.”

Yang Seong-il was unable to say anything to Gyu-ha, who looked somewhat lonely.

“I was so completely alone. It was comfortable. You can do whatever you want, and you don’t have to pretend to have feelings. If I had grown up then, I would have been very wrong. hehehehe, you might have seen me from a social point of view rather than an entertainment article. But miraculously, the opportunity came. A chance to be ‘normal’. Of course, the process was infinitely grueling and difficult, but I was able to endure it. The possibility of getting closer to my dream little by little kept me going.”

Gyu-ha’s calm eyes turned to Yang Sung-il, who was listening blankly.

“So, before you regret it, if you think the path is right, keep pushing ahead. Of course, it could be different from what you thought. no. it will be different There will be times when you want to give up, and there will be times when you want to collapse in despair that digs your chest. Still, you have to believe in yourself and push through to the end.”

“Brother… Thank you for the kind words. I really don’t know what to say… .”

Yang Seong-il tried to swallow his surprise.

Wouldn’t anyone?

Actor Song Kyu-ha, who showed deep emotional acting that even experts acknowledged,

Did you have such extraordinary pain and trials as a child?

Yang Seong-il was more grateful and impressed than surprised.

The fact that I said that for sincere advice even though it could be my biggest weakness as an actor.

“Your brother is doing well. No matter what older brother was originally, I judge only by looking at the current appearance. that’s my personality However, the hyung I judge is terribly indifferent to people who are not related to him, but he is more warm than anyone else to people who are inside the boundary. That’s it. That alone makes him more human than anyone else.”

The atmosphere warmed up like a warm campfire, and the two grew closer as they chatted.

“Brother, how is it camping in such a wonderful nature?”

“i love it. I feel like I want to come again later with the people around me.”

“Then why don’t you go one more time soon? This time to the right place.”

“where?”

“There is an amazing place on that side of the Mexican Yucatan Peninsula, and we can survive together… no! Aren’t you going to a camping entertainment?”

Yang Seong-il smiles awkwardly and somehow avoids Kyu-ha’s eyes.

On the contrary, Kyuha’s eyes twinkled.

“Where?”

“It’s the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico… it’s a bit far, but… they say it’s good, but it’s really good. There are also Jaguars.”

It was Yang Seong-il who hesitated to appeal to himself, but somehow the awkwardness seemed to only deepen.
