Junggyun said, with a satisfactory smile on his face, "He has been blinded by a certain local girl, spending most of the time with her . " "A girl?" "She looks pretty in my eyes, too . Pretty enough to captivate Jinhun's heart . Maybe they're together now . " What's important for the moment was that Jinhun was safe, too . After exchanging brief greetings, Hyunwoo headed to the area Jinhun was spending time with the girl . It was a slum area, and everyone there was very busy with the recovery . There were many people on the street begging for money with tins placed before them . Surprisingly, Jinhun was among them . With a tin before him, he was playing guitar as if he was begging for money for his playing, and beside him was a girl with fair skin . She seemed to be a mixed-race girl, born to a white person and a Vietnamese person . She was very pretty as Junggyun said . She was singing pop songs to the tunes of his guitar with a bright expression on her face, and her pronunciation was very natural like a native speaker of English . The more Hyunwoo heard her singing, the more he was entranced by her . He felt she could be a professional singer . If she had been dressed up with a good stage, strangers might have thought that she was the best idol star in Vietnam performing right before their eyes . The passersby seemed to have the same impression as Hyunwoo's . They stopped before her and Jinhun and clapped their hands enthusiastically when they were done . Some of them threw some coins into the tin . As if they were brother and sister, they bowed to the passersby to express thanks . Only then did Hyunwoo approach Jinhun, "What the hell are you doing here?" "Oh, what brought you here?" said Jinhun, quite surprised to see him . "I rushed here, worried about you . What are you doing here? And who is that girl?" "Ah, she is Angela . Angela Lewis . " She introduced herself to him in Vietnamese . After exchanging a brief greeting with her, Hyunwoo spoke in English, "Nice to see you, Angela . Where are your family or parents?" She hardened her face at that, and her big and clear eyes were quickly welled up with tears . Jinhun quickly interrupted . Though he could not speak English, he understood 'family' and 'parents' when Hyunwoo talked to her, "Did you ask her about her parents?" "Yes, but I think I made a mistake . Did she suffer an accident?" "Actually, her mother was killed in the typhoon . " Jihun told Hyunwoo about her in detail . Given that Jinhun arrived in Vietnam only three days ago, he knew quite a lot about her, which meant he was pretty interested in her . As Hyunwoo expected, she was a mixed-race girl born between a white American and a Vietnamese woman . When the American found out the Vietnamese woman was pregnant, he ran away, so Angela grew up under her single mother's care . Her mother had no relatives at all . Her mother wanted Angela to go to the United States someday to search for her father, so she made sure Angela spoke English at home, though she spoke Vietnamese outside . However, Angela lost her mother because of the typhoon . Abstaining from food and drink, she had lost the will to live and just kept crying when Tamtit and Kwak's family found her . Thanks to their comfort, she could barely control her troubled heart . Both Angela and Tamtit's family were poor with no hope of getting back on their feet again anytime soon . Though Junggyun bought food for her with his own money, he could not continue to help her forever . That's why Jinhun thought about the idea of begging on the street . With his excellent guitar playing and her singing, he felt he could collect the money enough to buy one day's food . "Tut, tut… how miserable she is… By the way, is she younger than you?" "Yes, she is 15 years old by Korean age, two years younger than me . " In Hyunwoo's eyes, however, she looked older than Jinhun . She even seemed precocious because of her mixed heritage . "Let's go home now . You can't make a living like this . " "Angela's voice is much better than expected, and we're making more money than we thought . So, take your leave first . Let me join you in the evening with Angela . " "No, no . This is not a matter of money . If you're doing this on the street, hooligans may come over here and hurt you . As you know, the situation is bad because of the typhoon . In particular, you're more prone to that as you're with a beautiful girl like Angela . " "Oh, really?" Obviously, Jinhun was scared when Hyunwoo said that . "Let's go home right now . Don't focus on making money to sustain you for just several days . Think about how to make a living in the future . " "Got it . " Jinhun took Angela and headed to the family protection center where Tamtit's family was staying . Jinhun got close to her while walking . Though they could not carry a conversation because of the language barrier, Angela tended to rely on him because of her shared musical communication with him . Leaving her with Jinhun, Hyunwoo sat down with Kwak and Tamtit's family as well as Sungji because he could not ignore the miserable situation of Tamtit's family . Tamtit's parents seemed very old . They looked like in their 70s at least, but they were actually in their mid-50s . As they were physically weak, it would be difficult to find jobs . In particular, the factories and stores in Natrang hit by the typhoon were in disarray, which made it all the more difficult to find jobs . Looking at Sungji, Hyunwoo asked, "Can you find jobs for them?" "No problem, but the Vietnamese have a great affection for their hometowns, so I'm afraid they won't move…" This time Hyunwoo asked Tamtit about her opinion . She explained to her parents about Hyunwoo's offer, at which they replied with bright faces . Tamtit interpreted for them, "As long as they can find stable jobs, they are willing to move . " Then, Hyunwoo didn't have to worry about the Tamtit family . The only problem now was how to care for Angela . In fact, she was a total stranger to him, but he couldn't ignore her because of Jinhun who clung to her like her lover . Angela was a stunning beauty . Not only her face but also her voice seemed to be the best artwork made by a god . With someone's help, she could make a big success . Suddenly, Hyunwoo hit upon a good idea . Hyunwoo called Jinhun and said, with a sorry expression on his face, "Just forget about her . We can't help her out . If you become fond of her, you can't separate later . " "I've already become attached to her . How can I forget about her? You don't want to leave her alone here, do you?" As Hyunwoo expected, Jinhun went berserk . He even seemed upset about Hyunwoo, let alone disappointed at him . Scratching his head, Hyunwoo said, "What can I do about her? There are so many miserable people in this world . How can we help them all?" "Can't you help her alone? You're financially stable enough . Could you take her to Korea? Let me make the money by working hard to support her . " "That's impossible . " Hyunwoo explained to him about the problems such as a visa, but Jinhun didn't give up . "To be honest, I love her . I can't leave her alone here . I would sell my soul if I could stay with her . And I would do anything for you if you could help . " With a sigh, Hyunwoo said, "Phew . If you're fixated on her like that, let me help her then, but I have one condition for that . " "What is it?" "I can't take her to Korea without any reason . You have to make some plausible excuse . Make one . " "Excuse?" Grinning with a smile, Hyunwoo said, "You are good at composing, and Angela is a good singer . What perfect harmony!" When Jinhun heard that, his eyes opened wide . He seemed to realize what he needed to do for her . Hyunwoo continued, "Make a song for Angela . Then, let me use it as the theme song of Tuti and Angelica, the animation work of the Anifan kids . Who knows? If the theme song makes a hit, both of you could be stars!" Jinhun's eyes already sparkled with new hope . He was confident in his composing skills, and Angela could succeed it with her great voice . He clenched his fist and said, "Don't worry . I'm determined to compose a great song . " "Great! Let me help Angela live in Ho Chi Min while you're at it . Mr . Sungji Na, president of N&C, will take care of her safety . If you want to take her to Korea as soon as possible, work hard on your composition . "
