A short while later, Yoo-hyun arrived ho with his father and explained everything to his mother.
As Yoo-hyun gave a brief summary, his father looked at his mother with a tense expression.
His mother, who was sitting on the living room floor, let out a hollow laugh.
“Ha! These people are now making up all kinds of excuses because they don’t want to get scolded for drinking and coming ho late.”
“It’s not like that. It was Yoo-hyun who brought the alcohol.”
“You just stay quiet. Didn’t I tell you to be careful with drinking when you have a health checkup coming up soon, huh?”
“Well…”
His mother’s charisma made his father lower his tail.
Yoo-hyun did not give in and spoke again.
“Mother, I know this is not a good ti, but I’m serious. I really want father to expand the factory.”
“Why are you telling that? Just do it then.”
“That’s what I’m saying.”
The atmosphere was flowing strangely, so his father intervened.
“It’s not sothing you can just do. It takes a lot of money.”
“How much does it take?”
“At least 30 billion.”
“Didn’t you say you could get most of it from investors?”
“Well, yes, but we still need to spend a lot of our own money to buy the equipnt and build the building in advance.”
“Isn’t that obvious?”
His mother said it easily, so his father straightened his posture.
Then he spat out saliva and ranted about why it was impossible.
“No, you don’t seem to understand, if we make even a slight mistake, not only our house but also your side dish shop could be collateralized.”
“Then they have to collateralize it to lend us money, do you think the bank will give it to us for free?”
“That’s not it.”
“Then why? It sounds like you can do it if you want to.”
“Don’t you feel anxious? This is a really big deal.”
His father looked very worried, but his mother rather clicked her tongue.
“Tsk. A businessman with a liver as small as a bean. If you can’t do it, just hand over the company to Yoo-hyun.”
“Mother, that’s not it.”
As Yoo-hyun raised his hand to stop the words that ca in abruptly, his mother picked a fight.
“Then when are you going to get a job?”
“Why are you changing the subject again?”
Yoo-hyun was dumbfounded.
His mother’s reaction was unbelievable, so his father ca closer.
His father, whose face was flushed from the alcohol, said in a serious voice.
“Honey, are you really okay?”
“Look at this guy. Why are you pushing your face that slls like alcohol?”
“If sothing goes wrong, we could lose everything we’ve built up so far, are you okay with that?”
“What’s not okay about that? If it doesn’t work out, we can just give up the building of the side dish shop.”
“You worked so hard to get that. You couldn’t sleep properly, you couldn’t rest, you couldn’t go hiking as much as you like. And you’re still okay?”
His father couldn’t understand his mother at all, but his mother was calm.
“We can just rent it out. There’s no one who can make as much sales as we do in that place, what’s there to worry about?”
“Honey…”
Bang.
“What’s this, why is he hugging like crazy?”
His mother was startled and tried to free her arms, but his father hugged her tighter.
Then he said sothing ticklish.
“Didn’t I tell you? I love you.”
“Oh my! You’re crazy. What are you doing in front of Yoo-hyun!”
“Where’s Yoo-hyun?”
Yoo-hyun had already backed away from the mont his father’s eyes lit up.
Thud.
Through the gap of Yoo-hyun’s closed door, his parents’ voices faintly flowed in.
“Boy, really. Unbearable.”
“Let’s stop this and go to the room. Okay?”
“Ha! I told you not to do this after drinking.”
“I can’t do this when I’m sober.”
“This guy is really! I’ll spank you, spank you.”
Smack smack!
Yoo-hyun, who listened quietly and smiled, picked up the photo on his desk.
It contained the image of Jeong Da-hye, who was smiling brightly while riding a paraglider.
His mother’s permission was decisive.
His father, who had been agonizing for a long ti, decided to seize the opportunity.
The most pleased one was An Se-hoon, the director who had led the sales from below.
A few days later, he received a call from him, who was also in charge of personnel affairs.
Tick.
Yoo-hyun, who was sitting on his desk chair, answered the phone, and An Se-hoon said right away.
-Yoo-hyun, thank you.
“Why? What’s going on?”
-What’s going on. It’s because of the two friends you introduced to.
“Wonseok and Wonyoung?”
At Yoo-hyun’s question, An Se-hoon answered with an excited voice.
-Yeah. They both have so many qualifications. Wonseok, that friend, has a lot of practical experience. And Wonyoung, that friend, made a video of his self-introduction and sent it…
Yoo-hyun had told the two people about the job opening, but he didn’t know the details.
He only heard that An Se-hoon had received their docunts.
It seed that An Se-hoon had taken a liking to them.
Not only him.
-Yoo-hyun, thank you for introducing to a good place. I found out that it’s a very solid company. The conditions are good, and I think I can work with Wonyoung too.
Park Wonseok, who had looked around several small and dium-sized companies, recognized the value of Yoo Jae Brick at once.
He also liked the opportunity to work with his younger brother.
Yoo-hyun recalled his friend’s words and asked.
“When is the interview?”
-We agreed to set a date for next week. I’m going to show them the accommodation when they co.
“What if you don’t like it?”
-There’s no way. I talked to them on the phone and I felt it right away. They also studied a lot about bricks. I don’t need to see anything else.
An Se-hoon’s voice was already confident.
“It would be nice to show them the accommodation.”
-Not only the accommodation, but I also have to show them that we’re expanding the factory. That way, they’ll think highly of our company.
Why was he so concerned about soone who wasn’t even an employee yet?
He understood his excited heart, but connecting it to the factory expansion was overkill.
Yoo-hyun didn’t bother to argue and asked what he was curious about.
“How is the contract going?”
-No big problem. We have a pretty close relationship with Ami Construction. You know, they handle most of our supplies.
“I know, but I think you should still be careful. I saw the sales report and there was a lot of unpaid balance.”
-That’s the industry practice. If you try to collect it too greedily, you might lose more than you gain. It takes so ti, but we’ll get it eventually.
“It’s because there’s a lot of money involved, right?”
Yoo-hyun put a brake on his excitent, knowing that he could miss sothing important if he ran too fast.
Then, Director Ahn Se-hoon spoke with confidence.
-Don’t worry. Ami Construction is not a shady company. We’ll make sure to specify the investnt part in the contract.
“That’s good to hear.”
-Yeah. I’ll take care of it, so you just co and get so food later.
“I’ll join you when Wonseok cos down. Make sure to fill your pockets.”
-It’s the company’s money, what do I care.
“Haha! Okay. See you then.”
Yoo-hyun hung up the phone with a smile.
To be honest, he was not completely worry-free.
There was no such thing as a 100% safe contract, so he had to be cautious.
But he didn’t want to interfere with every detail, since he was not an employee.
Yoo-hyun decided to help out later if things went wrong, and backed off.
Thud.
He put down his phone and looked at the monitor.
On the screen, there was an online cafe with an apartnt background.
Yoo-hyun’s mouse stopped at the ‘Apartnt Resident Introduction’ page.
He typed in the search word, and the post he was looking for popped up.
-I will serve the apartnt residents with kind and sincere service. Please take care of .
Jung Minkyo, security guard of Gangnam Central Village.
Why did the security guard post an introduction on the resident page?
He felt more glad than curious.
It was because of the young father-in-law’s appearance from the past, rather than Yoo-hyun’s mory.
In the attached photo, he was wearing a security guard hat and smiling awkwardly.
“I wonder how he’s doing.”
In the past, Yoo-hyun had no interest in his wife’s family affairs.
He didn’t bother to et them, nor did he take care of them.
It was the sa for Jeong Da-hye.
She kept her distance from her father even after marriage.
He thought she hated him back then, but it could have been a misunderstanding.
-Alia misses her grandfather. I’m sure she does.
Maybe Jeong Da-hye also longed for her father deep in her heart.
Yoo-hyun wanted to help her take a step closer.
‘I should et him soon.’
It was a necessary thing for Yoo-hyun’s happiness, too.
It had been quite a while since Yoo-hyun ca down to his hotown.
During the hot sumr, Yoo-hyun spent his ti leisurely.
He went to Kim Hyun-soo’s car center with Kang Jun-ki and Ha Jun-seok, who took a vacation and ca down, and grilled so at. They also went on a trip together.
He also visited his old school, and read so books quietly.
He thought of his inner passion during his own ti, and set a clear direction.
His mother seed to have given up, and didn’t bring up the job issue anymore.
Instead, she enjoyed chatting with Yoo-hyun after work.
She also stopped by the house from ti to ti during work.
Today, too, she ca by the house for a while on her way to deliver food to her regular custors.
She sat on the floor and laughed loudly as she ate the waterlon that Yoo-hyun gave her.
“Hohoho! Really, you know. Sora completely changes in front of her boyfriend.”
“Really? I thought she had a strong personality.”
“Strong, my foot. She’s so coquettish.”
She waved her hand and explained the funny situation that happened at the market today.
Her bright voice echoed for a while.
“Oh my, look at the crumbs, they’re everywhere.”
She heard a nagging voice and turned around, and Han Jaehui was standing at the entrance.
Yoo-hyun raised his hand and greeted his sister.
“Co here and have so waterlon.”
“What are you so comfortable for?”
His mother asked as Han Jaehui walked over.
“Jaehui, did you co empty-handed?”
“Mom, is that what you say to your daughter who barely took a vacation after working hard at the company?”
“Why are you so rude? I can’t even ask?”
“Ugh! Fine, fine. Here.”
She sighed and handed over a small bag.
His mother quickly opened it and brightened up.
“Oh, this is the costics that was on the ho shopping before.”
“You said you couldn’t buy it because it was sold out. I saw it at the departnt store and bought it for you.”
“Oh my! My pretty daughter. You must have worked hard at the company. There, there!”
She ran out in her socks and hugged Han Jaehui, patting her back.
Han Jaehui shivered in her arms.
“Why are you so over the top?”
“It’s because I’m happy, happy. That’s why children should work at good companies.”
Why does she have to give a hint?
Yoo-hyun, who was fully adapted by now, let it go in one ear and out the other.
Crunch.
The waterlon was sweet and tasty.
His mother prepared so jerky and rice cakes on a small table, and then went back to work.
Han Jaehui changed into comfortable clothes and ca out, and sighed heavily.
“Haah!”
“What’s wrong with you?”
“Just. Seeing you so relaxed makes sigh.”
“What does that have to do with ?”
Yoo-hyun was puzzled, and Han Jaehui smirked.
“Never mind, let’s have a drink.”
“A drink in the dayti?”
“Sotis you need a drink when you’re upset.”
“Wait a little bit and we’ll have a drink with dad. He’s got sothing he’s been saving for when you co.”
“I don’t care, I’ll just have so soju by myself.”
“Where’s the soju?”
“It’s here.”
Han Jaehui went to the back warehouse and ca back with two bottles of soju.
When did she stash those away?
As Yoo-hyun blinked his eyes, his sister put so ice from the freezer into a glass and poured so soju.
Chirp.
Then she stirred it with chopsticks, and gulped it down in one breath.
