Chapter 63

                                    

                                          
It was truly a day when everything went wrong.
Mrs. Kim Deok-soon rummaged through her closet, grumbling.
What a terrible day it had been.
Theyre raising the rent again, those bastards.
She threw the thick blanket on the floor, cursing the landlord who wanted to increase the rent for her restaurant.
Just take whatever they give you.
She rubbed her sore back, cursing the customer who had asked her to remake the soybean paste soup five times for no good reason.
Who do they think they are, the owners of this place?
She found the old radio behind the spot where the blanket had been, and remembered the staff at the temple she often visited.
She had gone there to pray for her grandsons success.
But they had been rude to her, saying that her donations had decreased lately.
All of this had happened in one day.
Sometimes there are days like that.
When luck is so bad that everything goes wrong, it goes wrong all day long.
Her stubborn mouth was set in a straight line.
I should just take the bad luck for him.
If she had a son-in-law, he would have scoffed at her for believing in such nonsense, but Mrs. Kim Deok-soon was sincere.
She thought that whenever something bad happened to her, she was taking the bad luck for her grandson.
Thats why she quickly calmed down.
When things went wrong, it meant that something good was happening to her grandson.
It had been like that when he first topped that chart thing and was so excited, or when he said some weird bread name as his acceptance speech on a music show.
She had also had some minor mishaps that morning, like dropping an egg or something.
Then maybe today there was something good too.
She nodded her head, thinking that good things are good things, and looked inside the closet.
There was an old radio in the corner, but she hesitated to reach for it.
It wasnt because she was short or couldnt reach it.
It was because of the owner of the item.
Myeong-eun loved it so much.
The old radio was something her daughter had used before she got married.
She felt a pang in her chest when she thought of taking out something her daughter had used.
She should just install the program on her phone like Woo-ju told her.
But the smartphone was an unfamiliar and mysterious world to her, so she eventually decided to take out the radio.
Ah, look at the dust.
She wiped the dust off with a wet tissue and plugged in the cord.
Then she pressed the power button with a nervous heart.
She was worried that it wouldnt turn on because it was so old, but it worked fine except for a slight crackling sound.
She tuned the frequency and a cool voice came out.
-Did you have a wonderful day today? Well, then, lets start Jang So-wons Wonderful Night!
She recognized the voice.
