14. Today is different from my previous life (1)
A local restaurant in Daesan.
As usual, it was a hectic time with the influx of lunch customers.
“Aunt, here are the side dishes.”
“I’d like to order!”
“Is there room for three right now?”
Most of them were workers working nearby.
Since I contracted with a construction company to receive lunch customers, I had to quickly clear the space after a customer left to make room for the next customer to eat. It was a really busy time. Her grandmother, Park Young-ok, half-heartedly prepared her side dishes and wiped her table with a dishcloth, never taking a break during the entire lunch hour.
Such a busy time has passed.
As the employees took a breather, the owner of Baekban Restaurant looked at Park Young-ok and said.
“Come here and get some rest.”
“Just do this. “Rest first.”
“Grandma too. “I told you to take it easy.”
Park Young-ok cleaning the table.
I felt like I was living a really hard life.
When she was first interviewed, the owner did not look favorably on Park Young-ok.
I was worried about whether my elderly grandmother would be able to endure the arduous work of a restaurant, but when she asked me to try it for a few days, I was skeptical but accepted. That was already ten years ago. Seeing Park Young-ok consistently working hard at her job as if it were her first job, her owner’s gaze towards her could not help but be warm.
Why Park Young-ok works.
It is not a hobby for old people.
It wasn’t even a question of livelihood.
Although it is possible to live well on a pension for the elderly, Park Young-ok had a reason why she had to live so hard.
‘If we want to send our grandchildren to college, we need to save up tuition in advance.’
two grandchildren.
I thought about the future of Kim Hyun-seong and Kim Hyun-jin.
In particular, my eldest child was good at studying and was ranked first in the entire school, but I felt like if I gave up on going to college just because I was raised by my grandmother, I would regret it even after I die. He has been working like that for over ten years already. At first, I started out as a way to buy toys for my grandchildren, but now I couldn’t let go of the dishcloth.
I had almost wiped the table.
Now I was about to straighten my back, but my phone vibrated.
Ji-ing, ji-ing.
It was already the third time.
I ignored the phone call for a while as customers poured in, but when I got three calls, I immediately thought something might have happened. I hastily put down the dishtowel. He wiped the dirty inside, opened the flip phone, and answered the call.
OK.
[Grandmother Park Young-ok. You won the subscription this time, right?]
“jean… … what?”
[Subscription, subscription!]
“I don’t know about that.”
Tuk.
I hung up.
It was a strange sound.
The grandmother, whose heart was shaking because she thought it was her grandchild’s problem, was just about to put away the dishcloth.
But then the phone rang again.
I thought it was the same person, but it was different from the person who just answered the phone.
[I heard that you won the subscription for Noblesse Apartment. Sell it to me. I’ll give you plus peas.]
“Peu, place?”
Words that are still unintelligible.
As the words kept coming through the phone, Park Young-ok once again frowned and hung up.

Nationwide real estate boom.
At a time when apartment prices were rising, Myungjin Construction was at a loss due to safety issues.
people said
“Aren’t Myungjin Construction’s apartments safe?”
“I heard that Daesan is also famous for building good buildings.”
“If the price is the same, it’s definitely Myeongjin. To put it bluntly, even if it is a little more expensive, Myeongjin is okay if you plan on living there for the rest of your life.”
The difference in perception was directly related to price.
Although a pouring accident occurred this time, the apartments previously built by Myungjin Construction showed a level of completion that satisfied the residents. As a result, the prices of apartments labeled as Myeongjin Construction rose. The price that was normally around 300 million has now exceeded 400 million, and interest in newly built apartments has also increased.
among them.
Noblesse apartments were the hottest item.
Myungjin Engineering & Construction has been building ordinary apartments, but this time, it introduced a premium concept by constructing a small complex with 300 units. A condensed version of Myungjin Construction’s technology. Daesan’s wealthy people have secretly shown interest in apartments that are not only safe but also pay maximum attention to the convenience of their residents.
It was a different place from the apartment that collapsed in the pouring accident.
As the Noblesse Apartments subscription results were announced, real estate agents in Daesan received hundreds of calls a day.
“Do you have any Noblesse apartments for sale?”
“I’ll buy it even if it means giving me a plus fee.”
“president. Please be sure to contact me when the property comes up for sale. “I will make sure you get compensation.”
People calling.
They were not all actual residents.
Although the wealthy in Daesan actually expressed their intention to buy to live there, there were also many people across the country who approached Myungjin Construction’s apartments with an investment mindset, thinking that they could make money. Thanks to this, real estate agents in Daesan were busy making phone calls. I somehow secured a list of people who had won the subscription, and I called them one by one and told them I would buy the pre-sale rights.
Hundreds of calls like that.
The real estate agent got nervous and hung up the phone.
Tuk.

“Hey.”
“Failure again?”
“Of course it’s a failure. “What kind of crazy person would sell something like this these days?”
I was annoyed.
If I had known this would happen, I would have gathered everyone and made a subscription.
Who would have thought that a company known only to Daesan would become famous nationwide?
A fellow real estate agent said.
“Well, it’s worth it. The price of real estate, not only for Myungjin Construction properties but also nationwide, is rising day by day, so who would give up Noblesse without knowing how much the premium will increase? “When there was no interest nationwide, only those who won the subscription were left out.”
I laughed helplessly.
After all, life was luck.
Those who were out of luck had no choice but to make phone calls.
* * *
Park Young-ok said.
“Hyunseong. Isn’t this a scam? “If it’s not a scam, I’d like to sell this old woman right away.”
That evening.
The grandmother held Kim Hyun-seong and talked about what happened today.
I was worried because the calls kept coming since noon, but when I listened closely to the call, it turned out that the subscription I made last time had won. And he said he would buy the pre-sale rights together. Although he probably wouldn’t have listened to others, his eyes widened when he heard that he would give 50 million won of flip-flops in exchange for handing over the pre-sale rights.
5 thousand.
That’s a lot of money.
The price of the villa I live in now is that much, but I couldn’t ignore the idea that they would give me 5,000 for free.
Hyunseong Kim said.
“grandma. The pre-sale rights cannot be sold.”
“They say they can’t buy an apartment anyway because it’s expensive. How can we buy an apartment worth hundreds of millions of dollars in our circumstances? In my grandmother’s opinion, wouldn’t it be better to sell it and use it to pay for school fees?”
I understand.
but.
Kim Hyun-seong, who knew the truth, had different thoughts.
‘They are pure fraudsters. ‘They’re trying to beat up the pre-sale right with 5,000.’
Noblesse Apartment.
The selling price is 500 million won.
Although the price is expensive for a large mountain, it was evaluated as being worth 500 million won because it uses high-quality materials and has good community facilities. Even if there were no safety issues, complete sales would have been certain, but as Myungjin Construction’s reputation grew, many people said that the market price after completion would be over 700 million won.
It’s not a random cloud.
In a situation where existing apartments also rose by 100 million won, Noblesse became popular when it became more popular, not apartments that were lower than that.
That means.
This is an apartment where you can see a market profit of 200 million won just by selling it, but the real estate agents slapped it down to 5000 won because the grandmother was an old man who didn’t know anything about the world. Moreover, in the future that Kim Hyun-seong knows, the real estate boom is not a matter that will last only a few months. It was an upward trend that would continue for at least the next two years, and although a crisis would come later, the time when you could buy a good apartment for 200 to 300 million won has not returned like before.
blast furnace.
It was the only opportunity.
Moreover, if Myungjin Construction rises to the ranks of large corporations, Noblesse’s market price will rise even higher than it is now.
‘This apartment can never be taken away. Most of what I heard all day in the hospital was complaints about real estate prices being abnormal. The caregivers and the news all said the same thing. If we don’t find a home for our family to live in now, an opportunity like this will never come again.’
I had no intention of living underground for the rest of my life.
A prosperous home.
It was a lifelong dream.
The reward I sincerely hoped for when I formed a relationship with Go Chang-beom was to give my grandmother and younger brother a home as a gift.
Hyunseong Kim said.
“grandma. These days, loans are good and interest rates are low, so there is no problem in buying an apartment. Don’t worry about money. If a situation arises where we really cannot afford the interest, it is not too late to sell the apartment. Grandma knows it well too. I’m a real estate doctor. “Right now, it’s nothing but a pre-sale right, but the moment it gets registered, people will be willing to pay hundreds of millions of dollars to buy it.”
“Oh my, my grandchild. “When did you grow up like this?”
Park Young-ok’s eyes became red.
My grandson was very dependable, but it was heartbreaking to see him grow so suddenly recently.
Did you say that children from difficult families grow up early?
Kim Hyun-seong seemed to be just like that, so Park Young-ok hugged Kim Hyun-seong and patted his back.
“Pretty, pretty. “You know that this old lady only lives for us pretty girls, right?”
Moment.
Memories of the past came to mind.
Kim Hyun-seong felt like crying as he saw the grandmother crying while holding her hand tightly.
I bit my lip.
I didn’t want to cry.
I wanted to end everything and get rid of all my emotions at that time.
Hyunseong Kim looked at his grandmother.
Then he smiled brightly.
“I have to see my beautiful grandson for a long time, so just stay healthy. I’ll take care of the rest. Understand?”
* * *
I left the house under the pretext of going out for a walk.
Facing the cold wind, Kim Hyun-seong looked blankly at the shabby villa.
really.
My heart ached.
It was a space that others would laugh at as shabby, but to Kim Hyun-seong, it was a truly precious home for his family.
‘The goal of this life is not just revenge.’
family.
I wanted to take care of them.
Even as he rushed toward revenge like a truck with broken brakes, he never neglected his family-related matters.
So I received an offer.
It was a device to prepare for the future, and through Go Chang-beom, he had also received a bank account in someone else’s name that could be used immediately. There were hundreds of millions in it. Measures were taken to allow withdrawal at any time, but the existence of the money was not revealed yet because it was a reality that my grandmother and younger brother could not accept.
Of course, I had no intention of hiding it forever.
If the time came to purchase the property in the future, I planned to pay the balance with that money rather than taking a loan from the bank. If so, you can own a house with no debt. Not only that, she planned to purchase real estate in Seoul under her grandmother’s name as a gap investment and become wealthy enough to not worry about money in the future.
Gradually.
created the future
Bright days await me ahead, but for some reason, I cannot help but feel bitter.
‘I told you not to go to work.’
Grandmother and younger brother.
I gave money to both of them every month.
They gave me pocket money, saying it was money I received from a scholarship, but my grandmother didn’t spend a single penny of it and went out to a restaurant every day. Every time she confirmed that fact, she strengthened her resolve. She said she would never slip. She will achieve complete revenge and give her family a future without any difficulties.
This moment.
It was done with malice.
I thought that malice was not simply a bad feeling, but a selfish aspect that only thought about oneself.
That’s how I will live.
Not for others, but for yourself.
Not for others, just for our family.
I swallowed my malice.
I dreamed of a perfect future.
But then, coincidentally, a phone call came.
[This is an academy. Hyunjin doesn’t show up at the academy. Is there something going on?]
My heart sank.
Hyunjin’s problem.
This was an unexpected variable that did not exist in my previous life.
