Van Gogh Reborn! - Chapter 130
Ko Sooyeol sat down and looked at Ko Hun and Cha Sihyeon, who were observing sunflower seeds with joy.
“Don’t we have to plant it on the ground?”
Cha Sihyeon asked, looking at the seeds soaked in warm water.
“It’s better to soak them in water and plant them like this.”
“Oh,”
Ko Hun conveyed the knowledge he gained from the Internet.
The two boys continued the conversation while looking at the seeds.
“My father asked me if the Mont Chere was better than Haute tart.”
“Haute tart?”
Ko Hun knew what it meant, but he had never heard of Haute tart as a product name.
“A snack that we make. Haven’t you tried it?”
Ko Hun nodded.
“Is it good?”
“Yeah. It’s very good.”
While evaluating the dish Cha Sihyeon didn’t say just ‘good’, but added the adverb ‘very’, which triggered Ko Hun’s appetite.
His mouth was watering when he imagined the tart that went beyond the soft texture and sweetness.
“I want to eat it.”
“Shall I bring it to school?”
Ko Hun nodded.
There was a pause in the conversation between the two boys.
They kept staring at the sunflower seeds in warm water for some time.
After a while, Cha Sihyeon asked.
“How long do we have to wait?”
“Half an hour?”
“I’m bored.”
Ko Hun took the seedling shovel out of the small basket.
He took one and handed it over to Cha Sihyeon.
“Look,”
Ko Hun went to the small garden of about 35 sq ft. and dug a small hole.
“You have to make 30 of these.”
“Like this?”
“Yeah. This is the gap?”
Ko Hun dug out a place to plant seeds 50cm apart.
Cha Sihyeon nodded and started making holes together.
“What are you going to do if a sunflower blooms?”
“I’ll draw it.”
“If you want to do that, isn’t it faster to buy a sunflower?”
“It’s fun to raise.”
Cha Sihyeon couldn’t understand his friend’s intention, but he nodded.
Since there was considerable time left even after finishing the hole, the two boys squatted down again and observed the sunflower seeds.
“I’m bored.”
“Do you want some sunflower seeds?”
Ko Hun took some sunflower seeds out of a cover.
“How do you eat it?”
“Like this,”
Ko Hun, who put the sunflower seeds in his mouth, bit it slightly, peeled it off, spit it out the skin, and felt the savory taste of the kernel.
It had a slightly weird taste because it wasn’t stir-fried, but it was suitable to soothe his bored mouth,
“…Is it good?”
Cha Sihyeon asked, with a frown on his face.
It was strange to eat seeds, and it felt even stranger to munch and spit out the skin from the mouth.
“It’s edible. Would you like to try it?”
Ko Hun recommended sunflower seeds.
Cha Siheyon didn’t like it, but as soon as his friend ate it, he had no choice but to reach out.
At that time Ko Sooyeol shouted with a surprised face.
“Little Hun…Why are you eating that? Doesn’t it smell weird?”
“It’s weird but it’s not bad.”
“And with your hands touching the dirt! Ahhhh. Spit it out. Come on. Sihyeon, you too, don’t eat it.”
Ko Hun chewed it one more time because he felt that the sunflower seed in his mouth was a waste, while Ko Sooyeol continued to shout at him.
Ko Hun spat out regretfully.
After that Ko Hun asked Cha Sihyeon, who kept staring at him.
“What?”
“I won’t eat what you give me anymore.”
“Why? You can eat sunflower seeds.”
Cha Sihyeon shook his head.
“Little Hun…What are you saying! There’s Listerine mouthwash in the car, so hurry up and rinse your mouth.”
“That hurts my tongue.”
“Come on!”
Cha Sihyeon looked at Ko Hun, who was forced to walk in the direction of the car.
Cha Sihyeon was confused because his one and only precious friend sometimes acted out of common sense.

I finished the first day of the examination.
The first day’s exams were math, science, and English, and it was easier than expected, so it was not a big problem.
I wasn’t worried because English was at the level of a child, while the math that Sihyeon gave me was so hard that the one given in the test seemed boring.
Half of the science was solved with uncertainty, and half of it was written roughly.
During Lunch time, after eating, I came back to the classroom.
Sihyeon was surprised when he checks my test paper.
“You got 100 points in math, too!”
It’s nothing to brag about getting a perfect score on the 3rd-grade test.
Sihyeon was happy even though it has nothing to do with him.
“……”
Sihyeon’s face, which was looking at the science test paper, crumbled mercilessly.
The problems related to animals, clouds, and light were all correct, but the problems about magnets, liquids, gasses, and mixtures were all wrong.
“have to study science from today.”
“You got everything right.”
“You, not me.”
“I decided to do a broadcast today.”
“You got 45 points. Is broadcasting more important or marks more important?”
“The promise you made with the people who will come to find me is more important than the broadcast.”
Cha Sihyeon blinks.
“Promise is important… Then let’s study science from tomorrow.”
“Okay.”
I’m less confident compared to science on tomorrow’s test on Korean language and social science test.
I shouldn’t show the answer paper to Sihyeon tomorrow.
It’s only been a year since I opened my eyes and I got more than half of what I’ve never seen before correct, so I’m proud.
I’m proud that I didn’t lose any hair while studying.
But it seems to be a huge deal by Sihyeon’s standards.
During the exam time, there was no afternoon class, so I was packing my bag and at that time I felt the other children’s gazes.
They giggled looking at me and Sihyeon.
“He got 45.”
“How do you even get 45?”
Seeing them laugh at my test scores, reminded me of my young self with no worries in life.
I stood up without caring about their remarks.
“Don’t laugh!”
Sihyeon shouted looking at them.
This is the first time this guy has spoke in such a loud voice at school, so I and the classmates were surprised.
“Do we have to get your permission to laugh?”
“It’s ridiculous.”
The classmates are scolding Sihyeon this time.
“Daddy said it’s bad to laugh at someone who tries! Don’t laugh at Hun. Do you don’t know how hard he tries?”
I reviewed it, and I can’t say that I tried because it’s not more important than painting, sleeping, and eating.
A child got up.
“You’ve grown a lot, huh? You yelled at us, and do you think we can’t do anything because you have a friend?”
He was the biggest guy in this class.
Sihyeon looks scared and looks like he was about to cry.
Park Hyunwoo said without turning his head.
“Stop it,”
The big boy turned his head.
“He’s making me mad.”
“It’s childish. Are we children?”
The big boy looked down at Sihyeon and went back to his seat.
I thought they would do harm to Sihyeon if he was alone, so I waited until he packed his luggage and came out of the classroom.
“Hmm.”
He barely held it in and cried as soon as he came out of the classroom.
“Why did you come forward when you were scared?”
“Because they’re making fun of you.”
“I’m fine, so do it when they say something about you.”
He sniffed, so I took out my handkerchief.
“What are you doing?”
“Blow your nose.”
“How can I blow it on someone else’s handkerchief? I have mine.”
Sihyeon took out his handkerchief and blew his nose.
“You just have to ignore the words of people like that. We can’t get along with everyone.”
I once thought we could get along with everyone.
I also expected that if I showed my love, people would someday recognize my heart.
But there is so much injustice and hatred in the world that it can not be changed by anyone’s power.
“No,”
Sihyeon shook his head.
“They’re wrong,” said the little guy with no strength, but firm eyes.
“You’re weird, but you’re not someone they can make fun of. You’re much, much cooler.”
When was the last time someone said I was cool with this much confidence?
“Thank you.”
When I think about it, I think I was able to survive that lonely time at least thanks to people who loved me like this.

2 p.m.
As soon as I got home, I washed up and turned on the broadcast with the help of Uncle Bang.
After a while, people began to come in one by one.
Unlike the time when Schmincke promoted the show, now there are a little more than 100 people.
I think it’s because it’s less promoted and it’s my first time.
It’s easy to read because the chat speed is moderate.
Wow! Live broadcast!
Hi Hun
When did it start?
Message deleted by the administrator.
You’re crossing the line.
Come on. Mind your words.
“Hello.”
[Baek Yujin donated 1,000 won]: Congrats on the first broadcast.
There were a lot of comments saying congratulations and most of the messages were shortened.
The Korean language is already a language with few words, and it is difficult if they even shorten that.
I hope this doesn’t come in the Korean language test tomorrow.
“Hun, Thank the supporter, Baek Yujin.”
Uncle Bang said in a small voice.
When I looked at the screen curiously, it said a person named Baek Yujin had sponsored 1,000 won.
“Thank you.”
I thanked him first.
“Where’s the money?”
“It’ll be transferred later to your account after deducting 30% commission.”
“Why are they taking so much money?”
“Shh, shh. There’s nothing to gain from fighting the platform.”
“It’s unfair.”
LOL
NewTube is definitely a thief, aren’t they?
All the platforms are robbers.
[Jean-François Mirae sponsored 50,000 won]: Good luck on the first episode
I’m not paying 1,000 won to you because the thieves will take 300 won!! I’m definitely not a miser.
LOL
50,000 won
“Don’t give me too much in our first meeting. I’m eating and living well.”
1,000 won is not a burden, but it’s burdensome to think that I got 50,000 won from someone I don’t know.
Even if I order a large-size potato pizza, 22,000 won will be left, that’s a lot of money.
He’s telling us not to give him too much. So cute.
He’s telling us not to sponsor him. What a cutie pie???
Isn’t that Jang Mirae?
Is it the real one?
I’m a fan of Jang Mirae.
“Oh, it’s Aunt Mirae? The name is different. Did she have a middle name?”
“What are you talking about?”
Uncle Bang laughs as if I said something funny.
The chat window was also filled with laughter emojis.
“What’s funny, Uncle Bang?”
“It’s a nickname. It’s like a nickname. Do you think the guy with the ID ‘Supreme Court Judge’ is a real supreme court judge?”
Well, that’s true.
” The person with the ID ‘Henry the great’ is also not the real Henry Marceau.”
“……..”
I think this person is the real Henry Marceau, but I’ll just take it that way and pass it on.
