(84)

Entering the president’s office, I see a thin man with gray hair.

“Sit there.”

It was a bit intrusive to start talking casually, but I can’t deal with it right away like they did before.

It’s a shabby building, but as I entered, there were CCTVs at the entrance and elevators, and there are staff outside now.

First of all, receiving the mother’s bond documents is the priority, so I sat down obediently as instructed.

“How much are you going to borrow?”

“I didn’t come to borrow it, I came to pay it back.”

“You came? Oh, my young friend is very short-talking.”

“Didn’t you speak half words first?”

“what? After all, young people these days are so fearless. Then, when you hook… yes. Well, since I’m here to pay you back, I’ll just let it go. Who has come to pay the debt?”

“Yoon Mi-jeong.”

“Mijeong? I know Mi-jeong well. Is that your lover?”

A lover is a lover who freezes to death.

Although he approached Kim Do-hyun to get closer, he has no intention of becoming a new father.

I didn’t want to drag it out for a long time, so I took out the hunter ID I had taken out of my wallet in advance.

“A… A rank hunter Kang Shin-hyeok? No, if you were a Hunter, you shouldn’t have said it before.”

His attitude has changed, but it seems to have changed based on his rank, not his name.

Like the staff outside earlier, I don’t think I’m that famous than I thought.

Well, although I did get on the media, I’m not a famous celebrity, and it’s already been over two weeks since WHCU ended.

Still, it might be because he is an A-rank hunter, so he brought the documents, saying that he would only receive the principal without saying anything.

“The principal is 400 million? As far as I know, they said they paid 50 per month in interest, isn’t that right?”

“Ah, that… Mi-jeong said she couldn’t afford it, so she only received 500,000 won. The unpaid interest continued to be added to the principal.”

“So you are saying that 400 million is not the real principal? Hey old man, as I said before, I have no intention of paying illegal interest.”

“I… When we first took it over from the savings bank, the amount was 8,000.”

Ha, I’m really excited.

According to Do-hyun’s mother, I heard that Do-hyun’s father died five years ago.

Looking at the date on the document, it was about three years ago that this child took over the bonds.

400 million, 5 times the debt of 8,000 in 3 years… No, there is interest paid so far, so it is more than 5 times, and even Satan will cry.

“8000 is 800 right?”

“800? No, no matter how much you beat the price… Isn’t 10% too much?”

“Where is the repair work? Do you know that when you get it from the bank, you don’t pay for it and don’t buy it?”

In various media, including web novels, webtoons, dramas, and movies, loan sharks are a frequent material that appears as villains.

In my previous life, I also tried to write, so I know a little about their physiology.

Of course, it might be different because it’s a different world, but looking at the embarrassed expression, it doesn’t seem that different.

“We also paid 20% when we bought it.”

“Still, it’s 1,600, right? Even the interest you guys have been paid for 3 years must be more than that? That’s why 800 is a lot. I’ll give you cash, so take 500.”

“no… .”

“If you don’t like it, follow the law.”

In the end, I paid 500 and got my mother’s bond documents.

I could have made a transfer, but I found the cash and gave it to him so as not to leave any traces on purpose.

It was a huge blow to write off a 400 million won debt with 500, but I have no intention of letting it go.

The distance between the hotel and this place is quite far, so it’s annoying to come back, so I plan to wait and deal with it as soon as it comes out.

While in the car, I watched the entrance and called my mother.

―Mr. Kang? Ah, I couldn’t even say hello properly earlier… really sorry.

“it’s okay. Did you handle the urgent matter well?”

-ah… it’s okay Thank you for caring me.

Maybe you’re not good at lying, but you can still feel the trembling in your voice when you hear it over the phone.

“there… Mother, there is actually something I haven’t been able to tell you about before. Yesterday, after going to school, I thought that my mother might not contact me, so I asked an acquaintance to find out.”

―What is that… . Did you do a background check?

“I didn’t mean it in a bad way, I just really wanted to help… I should have canceled it when my mother contacted me, but I forgot about it and just got a call and remembered it. sorry.”

―It’s a bit embarrassing, but it’s okay because you didn’t mean it badly.

“Thank you for your understanding. Hey, by the way, all I asked an acquaintance was a phone number or address, but the acquaintance must have done a little more research to see if there was a misunderstanding.”

-Yes?

“I hear you have debt. It’s something I’ve never heard from my mother before… .”

-ah… My husband borrowed money from the bank while he was doing business, but when he did that and the bank went bankrupt, the bonds went over to them… .

“If that happens, why don’t you tell me earlier?”

―I don’t think it’s polite to say that to someone I’m seeing for the first time today… . Don’t worry, I’ll solve it somehow.

“That sounds like a bit difficult. I’ve already taken care of it.”

―Can you deal with it? what is that… .

“I met them a little while ago and paid off the debt.”

―Are you serious? It wouldn’t be a penny or two, so why did the teacher… .

“You said you would help.”

―I never thought that you would help me this much since you already gave me 200… .

“Hey, you might think I’m a bit unlucky when I say this, but I have more money than I look. I am sorry that I asked for a background investigation, and my mother told me the amount was too small, so I was wondering how I could help more.

―Thank you, really… How the hell am I supposed to repay this favor… . Thank you so much.

I can feel the moisture in his voice, but he seems to be very moved.

“As I said before, it is enough for mother and son to give to others when they can afford it. And the loan sharks charged ridiculous interest, so the amount increased, so the principal amount was actually not much. We agreed and dealt with it, so there will be no contact from them in the future.”

-thank you. Thank you very much.

“it’s okay. Oh, and an acquaintance said that the place where he lives now is going to be redeveloped, so he has to move soon, so I think I can help with that part too.”

I’ve already thought about everything since I overheard it earlier.

If you buy a house and live in school, it’s hard to get in, so you can ask them to take care of it while you live in it.

Is it a bit overkill to give some money every month to use for maintenance?

I’m sure he’ll feel a bit burdened if I give him money, but it’s better to find out about a job.

Since you said you worked for a cleaning company, it might be okay to get a job at a cleaning company in our building.

The trust is entrusted to the bank and the management is done, but the name is the building owner, so wouldn’t it be possible to do that much?

If it doesn’t work, it’s enough to set up a convenience store or something in a good place.

―Yes, but it’s okay. You even solved the debt, but we are too shameless. How can we ask the teacher for that? it’s okay.

“You don’t have to worry. this… uh? Hey, Mom, I’ve got some work to do. I have to deliver the bond documents anyway, so I’ll visit you at your house tomorrow at lunchtime, so let’s talk about it then.”

– Are you coming home? No, not really like that… .

I hung up the phone right away without listening to the answer.

I thought my mother would reject it, but that’s because the moneylender came out of the building.

* * *

“Have you turned everything around already? Didn’t you throw it away somewhere?”

“No. I turned everything around.”

“It’s hard to believe that I’ve turned a thousand in less than five hours.”

“I’m in good shape because I’m attending Hunter School. If you don’t believe me, you can go and check it out.”

“Did you add Miseong Apartment? I didn’t see it when I went to deliver it earlier.”

“It can’t be. I put it on in the first place.”

“Honey, have you seen it elsewhere?”

“It seems to be attached to Geumhwa Apartment and Hoseong Apartment, but I don’t know because I haven’t looked closely.”

“Yes? It doesn’t look like it’s all gone. here.”

“Why is it 30,000 won? You said it was 50 won per sheet earlier.”

“They say I didn’t see my husband sticking around when he went to deliver. I don’t think I threw away everything, so I’m giving you this.”

“No, I really put everything on… .”

“Then why don’t we all take pictures? If you don’t want to take it, don’t.”

It was so unfair, but in the end, I had no choice but to receive 30,000 won.

I looked for a part-time job as soon as I turned 16 because I wanted to help my mother who was struggling alone.

On the Internet, it was said that from the age of 16, it is possible only with the consent of a guardian.

However, whenever I called, everyone refused, saying that I was not 16 years old, and when I went to visit them, the conversation seemed to go well, but when I told them my age, everyone said no, saying that I was too young.

At least, it is possible to get a part-time flyer job, so I do it every time I come out, but maybe because I’m young, there are quite a lot of cases where I give out less part-time job this way.

Still, it’s fortunate that the 300 tickets I handed out earlier in the morning got paid for.

I earned 45,000 won today.

If I subtract the cup noodles I bought for lunch earlier and the fare, I have 40,000 won left, but I think I can save about 1 million won before school starts.

got on the bus and returned home.

On the way, it seems that there are more houses with a red circle, indicating that they have moved.

Mom said she was still looking into it, but… .

In fact, a few days ago, I heard my mother talking to the landlord.

I received moving expenses, so why not move… .

I open the door and enter the house, but I see Yeonji sleeping without the world knowing.

I think I had my mother’s shoes when I came in… Are you in the kitchen?

Covering her with a rouge blanket and going to the kitchen, she hears her mother’s voice.

“Are you coming home? No, not really like that… Teacher?”

The phone seems to have been disconnected, so I open the kitchen door and see my mother crying.

“mom!”

“son? When did you come?”

He hurriedly wipes his eyes with his hand, but he has already seen it.

It must have been a phone call with the bad guys who came to see me a while ago.

“Do not cry. The bad guys who came a few days ago, right? Did you threaten to come again?”

“How can I… No, it’s not like that.”

“No, what is it? I heard everything from Yeonji. I heard that the bad people who came before came a while ago.”

A few days ago, when I came home from a part-time job, Rouge was awake but hadn’t come out of the blanket.

I thought it was because she got into a fight with the kids at the daycare center, but Yeonji said that while her mother was taking her to the daycare center on her way to work, scary men came and harassed her, asking for money.

Yeonji didn’t say it properly, but I knew what he meant at once.

A few times in the past, creditors had come to the house to do business.

“Dohyun-ah, not really. You don’t have to worry anymore.”

He strokes his hair and says.

“I’m not a kid anymore, so don’t try to get over it by saying things like that. I will protect my mother.”

“My son is all grown up. But I’m really fine now. Mom, I didn’t cry because I was sad, I cried because I was happy.”

“Yes? Did you cry for joy? Then who was the person you just talked to?”
