144: Seeing once in a while (1)

“Look at this.”

Cheol-woo held out an A4 sheet of paper to Man-ho. The paper contained the name of the company and brief information about the people.

“What is this?”

“How many people do you know there?”

“About 20 people? I don’t know about the other four. But all of them are members of the fucking club, are those who don’t know new members?”

The name of the company and everyone was familiar with Manho. It was part of a list of crazy clubs made up of chaebol bloodlines from families.

Manho was one of them, and among the members of the club, he was considered one of the first to leave. Compared to him, Min-seok was very docile, and he acted like a fool.

“Look at the bottom over there!”

“Do you have my name? I’m not active anymore. Huh!”

Seeing his name on the list, he smiled bitterly. The mistakes of the past were not easily erased even if he came to his senses.

“That’s the list of people Chairman Kang has asked me to do.”

“Please? What kind of request are you talking about?”

“These parents asked me through Chairman Kang to let their children come to their senses. Your name is there…”

Hearing Cheol-woo’s explanation, Man-ho shook his hand and quickly bowed his head. Seeing him shrug his shoulders, he must have been overcome with emotion.

“Dad and Mom…, Dad and Mom still haven’t left me. Sadly still… Huh!”

“Chairman Kang said that. Your father came to visit him and begged him earnestly. I’m begging you to save my one and only son.”

Manho’s hand holding the paper tightened. The crumpled paper was taut as if torn.

“I, I thought I was already abandoned… huh!”

Unable to raise his head, he confided about the past as if complaining. Cheol-woo listened quietly to his confession-like words.

Jung Man-ho had one older brother. He was 6 years older than his older brother, and since he was a child, he was seen as a strong fence.

The older brother, who had everything perfect, seemed to have been born to become the Crown Prince from the beginning. Moreover, in the words of his parents, he had no choice but to receive the expectations of the family, the filial piety, who was dying.

By the time I reached puberty, I started to hate and envy such an older brother. His parents’ eyes were always on his older brother, and he always had to live like an alienated being.

Such a sense of alienation drove him away. He was perversely pampered by causing numerous troubles and troubling his family.

“But he always took care of me like that. I hated my brother for taking his attention, but he was so good on the other hand.”

Man-ho, who spent adolescence like that, came to his senses at some point. Seeing his older brother busy working without holidays, he realized that he had fully shouldered the heavy burden of being the heir of a chaebol in his place.

He became meek and tried to lead a conscientious life again. Except for majoring in business administration at the recommendation of his father, he was able to enjoy whatever he wanted.

I wondered if the wandering for a while would end like that. But fate did not leave him alone.

My older brother, who worked overtime every day and was returning home, died in a car accident. The cause of the accident was drowsy driving.

“The way my busy brother relieved his stress was to go for a drive outside the city. It’s the only hobby that people who live by splitting their lives can enjoy in their spare time, so they can relieve stress while sleeping…”

After his brother’s death, the attention of his parents, whom he had longed for as a child, was completely focused on him. From now on, he was the heir.

Only then did Manho realize how hard it was for his brother. And weakly, he began to stray again.

“I joined a crazy club and had a drink, but someone took drugs in addition to alcohol. I figured it out late, but it didn’t feel so bad. rather good If this is the case, my parents will also give up their expectations of me. And then I started doing a full-fledged foolish thing…, like a bastard…. Huh!”

Manho’s confession ended like that. Cheol-woo, who had been quietly listening, opened his mouth.

“So, what are you going to do?”

“Can I come back to my place now?”

“It’s already on the list!”

“But I still can’t stand the position of successor. It’s hard, it doesn’t matter, but I’m afraid I’ll run away again… I can’t believe myself at all.”

“Hmm! I’m not saying I’m accepting it anyway. ‘Cause I don’t really care who lives what kind of life they go after. I just showed you that your name was on the list. When it’s hard to draw a conclusion, it’s a good way to just ignore it and live with it. No matter how much you refuse, what you have to go through will surely go through.”

“…does that really matter?”

“I don’t know, because there is no such thing as an answer in the first place. Just as you weren’t born with your doctor when you were born, life doesn’t go the way you want it to. In the end, you just live your life believing that everything will be fine if you just work hard. Huh!”

“Does your brother live like that too?”

“Yeah, I live my life doing whatever happens to me. If it bothers you, put it away, if you are greedy, own it and do whatever you want.”

“IM jealous···.”

“not really···. After all, it’s something anyone can do, right?”

“But no one can live like that. haha!”

“It’s surprisingly easy unless you’re a coward. Living like this… Huh!”

There was no need to answer an unanswered question. No matter how their parents feel, no one can live their life for them.

“Chief, I will serve you Kwak.”

After a deep conversation with Manho, he closed the shop and returned home. Just then, Kwak’s phone rang.

“What’s going on?”

“A large sum of money suddenly came into some of the second boss’s secret accounts. I organize my work and take a look at the server before leaving work, find it and report it.”

“The sender is unknown…?”

“yes! Deposits were distributed through several local banks. It’s the name of the car just by looking at it, so it’s difficult to track it right away. The other slush funds are still tied up, but the funds suddenly turned around…”

“How much?”

“In total, it seems to be around ten billion. That should be enough to fill the hole next month.”

“The rats are getting out of the way. All right, don’t overdo it any more! You might notice it from the other side. Report any special changes at any time. You too, get off work!”

After finishing the phone call with Deputy Kwak, Cheol-woo thought for a moment in his room. A new variable has arisen in the dynamics of Kang-ho’s group.

Chairman Kang, whom he met, was never a person who would give preference to the first or second. Rather, he will try to create a more difficult situation and develop his children’s crisis management skills.

“Warrior, contact Hwaryeong and ask him to check if there are any changes to his eldest son! No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t seem like he borrowed money from personal friendships.”

[···I contacted you. However, Hwaryeong received a call from this area.]

“What, near my house…? Take a picture and show it to me!”

[Caught CCTV footage. Shall we float with the coordinates?]

The Warrior marked a map on his retina and marked it with a red dot. It was near a park on a hill near his house.

A small screen appeared along the dotted line connecting the red dots. It was a CCTV screen installed near the park.

She parked her car on the shoulder and was waiting for someone. Even though she was at night, she looked very suspicious of her form with her sunglasses on.

And after a while, someone got into her car. She was a woman wearing a hat and a mask.

“like! look at this My house spy said someone…”

It was the author who got into the car. He had his long hair hanging like a horse’s tail behind the hat he wore when he was part-timer.

“What about …?”

“There was none. But why is she wearing sunglasses at night?”

“…just because I think it should be like this… Why is it strange?”

“No, that’s great. Absolutely stinkin’ the tickling harpoon!”

“What touch…?”

“It just sounds so cool.”

“Ho Ho! Yes, because I am always a top-class celebrity. There is ice cream in the icebox in the back seat of the car, would you like to eat it?”

“No, of course. How can a high school student refuse to receive handmade ice cream from a first-class hotel that costs tens of thousands of won for each small thing? I’m just thankful…”

A heart spurted out of the author’s eyes. Everyone who bought her luxurious and delicious food was an angel to her.

“So, today’s information…?”

“Cheep! My brother left work a little late today. While I came to the store and talked to Manho oppa, I cleaned the store…”

As the author ate ice cream, he blew up information about Cheolwoo. She was a little sorry that she had to give out such information about eating such delicious and precious ice cream.

“Then why didn’t Da-in meet Go-nyeon?”

“It would be. Dain unnie is very busy practicing choreography these days. She said that she doesn’t come home often and sleeps in the dormitory.”

“Are you sure about that information?”

“sure. Dain and Unnie often text messages. 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 Sister, can I have another one of these?”

“Yeah, you can take everything in the box with you when you go.”

“Wow! Be big too Sister, I will always be by your side. Ji-eun will follow her until the end!”

Ji-eun was moved by the tall figure of her and dropped her body. At first glance, she was a true wannabe, who was not limited by money while wearing expensive luxury goods and driving a luxury car.

Seeing the writer who was moved by emotion, she also smiled with a smile of conversion. It was not uncommon for officials in politics and relations to entice a reins in the yard where money was bought.

Rumble! chuck!

“Hey! Oh, brother?”

“This girl. What, follow your sister for the rest of your life? Did you sell your teeth for just one ice cream, huh?”

Cheol-woo opened the car door and sat in the back seat. He even got angry to see his sister in the front seat.

I raised him by changing diapers, but he sold his brother for only one ice cream. It was difficult to know how to rebuke this ungrateful little sister.

“Hey, it’s not one…. Brother, I’m sorry! Hehe!”

Rumble! Back!

When the scene was caught, Ji-eun tried to escape. He ran away so quickly that he had no will to pursue him.

After all, can the blood line be deceived? The escape technique was very bold and quick. This was the determination that belonged to the upper class among the mercenaries.

“Since when have you been a spy?”

The two of them were left in the car where Ji-eun fled. Cheol-woo, who moved from the back seat to the front seat, asked with an absurd face.

“It’s only been a few days. I came to this town by chance and saw my brother…”

“It must be quite a coincidence. What do you have to do in our town…?”

“Hmmmm…!”

She did not try to deny it. Her bold and meticulous behavior sometimes made even Cheol-woo bewildered.

“Did you get the call I gave you?”

“What, are you talking about a new slush fund?”

“yes! Let’s find out if your brother also received a new blood transfusion…”

“Is it really necessary? Unlike the idiots over there, our eldest son is completely on the money line…”

She pushed the back of the driver’s seat back and looked at him at an angle. The sunglasses she had not taken off were still hiding her expression.

“That’s something you don’t know. There are two kinds of money in the world. The visible and the invisible.”

“What kind of bullshit is that?”

“You’re still young and you don’t know what to do, but half of the money in the world is invisible. If you can’t see the money, you can spend it as you please without noticing other people.”

“Sheesh, there’s nothing a little boy can’t say to his sister. Dare to tell my sister about the world… suck!”

He grabbed her chin and covered her mouth as she clenched her neck and tried to argue. He saw a familiar person near the park.
