HIS SMILE

Chapter 45

Facts proved that neither Jin nor Jungkook had the talent for making dumplings. The aunt saw the two of them roll the dumpling skin thick and thin, round and square. Thus, she had to take over the task of rolling the dumpling skin and let them do the filling.

The dumplings made by both men were ugly but they were a different type of ugly. Mr. Kim's dumplings were fat and big. He stuffed enough filling for two dumplings inside one dumpling skin. The boss' dumplings were fat and dry so that the dumpling skin could be torn into five pieces. Well, the families who were short of meat saved money by making dumplings like this.

Once most of the dumplings were wrapped, the two people's novelty also passed. They washed their hands and face clean of flour and changed into clean clothes. Jin held the table and played games while Jungkook opened the laptop that Jin gave him to do work.

The sky was darkening and Jin's performance in the game was too bad that he was ridiculed by a fifth grader. He quit the game and looked out the window. "It's dark."

Jungkook looked up at him. "Are you hungry?"

"No, today we're going to turn on the TV and watch the Spring Festival Gala." Throwing the tablet aside, Jin turned on the TV. It was just after seven o'clock and the national channel was still broadcasting the news.

It was the Spring Festival so even the news broadcast was full of joy. The hostess was wearing a red suit for the occasion.

"Since the new year is coming, we visited many citizens on the street and listened to their wishes for the Spring Festival."

"Round and round, to have one's wishes come true."

"For my family to be helpful and in good health."

"Peace and prosperity. It should become more prosperous with every passing day."

"Ah?!" Jin saw his face appear for two or three seconds in the news broadcast and his entire body froze for half a minute.

"Kookie hyung!!!"

The shout was so shocking that Jungkook typed out a wrong line of data.

"I'm on the news!" Jin danced happily. "I'm on the news broadcast!"

Jungkook saw that he was as happy as a dog and placed his laptop in a safe place. He was afraid that Jin wouldn't be able to control his mood and would break the laptop.

"I can brag for the rest of my life!" Jin wanted to roll around on the sofa. He had nowhere to vent his ecstasy so he could only rush over and hug Jungkook's neck. "Wait, I'll let the editor of my studio cut those few seconds and leave it for my descendants to see!"

Descendants? Jungkook's eyes dimmed as he looked down at Jin hanging around his neck. "Don't trouble others with such little things. I'll help you cut it."

"Yes, in those seconds, half of your face was shown." Jin's excitement wasn't over. "In the future, we can brag to everyone. The national channel has sealed our identities as good brothers."

Jungkook said, "Even decades later, everyone will know that you're with me.

"What?" Jin didn't hear what Jungkook said.

"I mean," Jungkook spoke slowly. "Everyone will know that we're close brothers."

"I'm also pleased."

Somi, a fan of Jin, carefully sent a message. "I just accompanied my parents to watch the news broadcast and found that a passerby that was interviewed looked a lot like our baby."
