Kim Cheol-soo stayed up late at work to finish the work he had to do before the five-day holiday.
After having dinner with my classmates who stayed for similar reasons, Lee Jeong-seok, Choi Sang-guk, and Jang Yu-mi, we parted ways on the street and headed to the Blue House.
“Is that my gift?”
Choi Hye-na asked, pointing to a box of red ginseng, and Kim Cheol-soo chuckled.
“You don’t like red ginseng, right?”
“You remembered?”
“Of course. That’s what the boss said.”
Choi Hye-na, who smiled faintly at the mention of remembering, suddenly narrowed her eyes slightly and asked.
“Why did you leave me at the hotel again last time?”
“It was because I didn’t know the boss’s house.”
“…..anyway!”
‘idiot.’
Choi Hye-na pouted her lips and continued speaking.
“thank you.”
“Boss, I heard you can’t drink alcohol?”
“I only drink one bottle of wine.”
“But why do you drink soju like that?”
“Strangely, seeing Cheolsu makes me want to drink like that.”
“It’s a rare disease.”
Choi Hye-na giggled at those words.
The two headed to the dressing room, and Choi Hye-na asked Kim Cheol-soo while fixing his hairstyle.
“Are you going home for the holidays?”
“No, I’ll be in Seoul.”
“why?”
“Um… I’m not that close to my relatives because of various things going on.”
“So are you spending it with your family?”
“Yes. Hye-na, are you going to your hometown?”
“I’m planning to go to Damyang for a day.”
“If it’s Damyang, it must be really far, right?”
“I’ll go even if it’s far.”
“When are you leaving?”
Choi Hye-na answered while applying gel to her hands.
“Why? Will you come with me?”
“I’m meeting my family, but isn’t it still a little awkward?”
“I’ve already met with Cheolsu’s family, what’s wrong with that?”
“is it?”
“That’s good. I think it would be better if Cheolsu goes with us.”
When she spoke in an expectant voice, Kim Cheol-soo nodded.
“Let’s try timing it.”
**
When Kim Cheol-soo finished the performance and washed up, Choi Hye-na handed him a Korean beef gift set.
“What’s this??”
When I heard it, it felt quite heavy.
“It’s a Lunar New Year gift from the boss.”
Cheolsu Kim smiled and nodded.
“If it’s something the boss gives me, I’ll gratefully accept it. I don’t have anything prepared, but instead, I’ll let you drive when we go to Damyang.”
Choi Hye-na smiled at those words.
I had enough money to buy what I needed without hesitation, and I was not obsessed with things.
I didn’t have high expectations because it was the Lunar New Year holiday.
Choi Hye-na thought there was no greater gift than being able to spend the holidays with Kim Cheol-soo.
“Good! Very good!”
I had a plan
Father’s memorial service.
No, it was closer to the anniversary of the death rather than a memorial service.
He had an accident while working during Lunar New Year.
Working as usual with a small number of people led to insufficient safety, which led to death.
And he went away alone.
In a slightly subdued atmosphere at home, Kim Cheol-su and Kim Young-su helped their father cook his favorite food.
Kim Cheol-soo made a dish with Korean beef that Choi Hye-na gave him as a gift, Kim Young-su fried things like sweet potatoes, potatoes, squid legs, and shrimp, and Yoon Jin-sook prepared a meal.
It wasn’t that Cheolsu’s family had a difficult time from the beginning.
Kim Cheol-soo’s father, Kim Bok-dong, managed to graduate from high school and get a job at a large company as a technician. He worked there for 10 years before running his own business. However, when a bill transaction he made during the foreign exchange crisis became a problem, he ended up in deep debt and going bankrupt.
However, because of his sincere and hard-working personality, he did all kinds of work while sleeping only 3 to 4 hours a day.
I paid off all my debts, but as fate would have it, I had an accident.
If you had lived just a little longer, you would have been able to see your family blooming again.
A small ancestral rite table was prepared, with the apples and tangerines that Jin-sook Yoon had purchased placed on them.
It was filled with only foods Kim Bok-dong liked.
Rice with beans and chestnuts, seaweed soup with plenty of beef, red pepper marinated in soy sauce, various fried foods, spinach, kimchi stew, and various dry side dishes made sweet with taffy.
After a brief ancestral rite, we had dinner with the leftover food, and Kim Cheol-soo handed a bankbook to Yoon Jin-sook.

After opening it, Jinsook Yoon was shocked and asked.
“What is this?”
Hearing Yoon Jin-suk’s words, Yeong-su turned his head, checked his bankbook, and shouted.
“Eh? Bro, how many balls are in this?”
“I received my salary and bought some stocks, and the incentives were quite strong.”
Cheolsu said with a nonchalant expression as he put a spoonful of seaweed soup into his mouth.
Jin-Sook Yoon looked at Kim Cheol-Soo, holding her forehead as if she felt dizzy for a moment.
Kim Cheol-soo is so busy that he always comes home at midnight, even on weekends.
In the meantime, I meticulously took care of my housework.
Kim Bok-dong was the same.
Although I always lived a busy life, all my attention was on my family.
Cheolsu and Yeongsu had a lot of conversations about their future, and they hoped that after paying off all their debts, they would start a business again and raise a family.
Perhaps, that unfulfilled hope had been conveyed to Cheolsu.
“You didn’t do anything bad, right?”
“Of course. Buy an apartment with it.”
“apartment?”
“Yes. In Gangnam, Seoul.”
The amount written in the bank account is approximately 430 million won.
“You only need to take a loan of about 100 million won.”
Cheolsu was happy with just this rented house that he had purchased with the living loan he received from the company.
Jinsook Yoon, who was in a depressed mood, began to shed tears as her husband also came to mind for some reason.
“Why are you doing this again?”
“No, I’m just impressed. But there are a lot of cheap and good apartments around here.”
As Yoon Jin-sook spoke while wiping her open eyes with her sleeve, Kim Cheol-soo responded.
“A real estate expert I know said that house prices in Gangnam, Seoul may rise significantly.”
“Real estate expert?”
Kim Cheol-soo answered while thinking of Pyo Il-soo.
“Uh, there’s a real estate expert on our team, Deputy Director Pyo Il-soo.”
“okay?”
“Yes. Let’s live there for a while, then sell it and move to a better place when Youngsu goes to college.”
At those words, Yeongsu pricked up his ears and spoke to Cheolsu.
“Why, when I go to college?”
“You said you wanted to go to medical school?”
Yeongsu nodded at those words.
“If the price of the house rises a lot, there will be a big difference, so Yeongsoo will be able to study to be a doctor without worrying about money.”
“Wow. Really?”
“Yeah, man. Your brother had big plans.”
“As expected, he’s my brother. He’s the best!”
When Yeongsu gave a thumbs up, Cheolsu nodded.
“Gorum. Isn’t your brother the best?”
“huh.”
“Your brother cares so much about you, but you shouldn’t become an ordinary doctor either.”
“Okay. I’ll become a really great doctor too.”
Cheolsu turned his head to Jinsook Yoon again.
“When we move, Mom, I’ll have to do some other work too. I need to give that knee some rest.”
“I only came out to the National Nuclear Bridge. There must be something my mother can do.”
“Go to school for a bit. How about doing real estate?”
“real estate?”
“Yes. You look at things like mom’s house really well, right? When my dad was running a business, when the neighbors who lived nearby went to look at houses, we always went to see them together with mom.”
“What does that mean…”
“When you move, take the real estate agent test. These days, the test is easy, so it seems like they give you a license just by taking the test. I’ll pay your living expenses for a year.”
430 million was money made by selling incentives and some stocks from the company.
He still had over 100 million won in stocks and was continuing to earn close to 13% per month.
As long as the income was stable like now, there was no problem with living expenses for a family.
“You’re having such a hard time, how can I do that?”
“No. That’s why I said it, right? Just for one year, just for one year, do what mom can do.”
Yeongsu also agreed with those words.
“My father said that. My mother gave up her studies due to family circumstances, but she was really good at it. Don’t you think I get my study skills from my mother as well? If she gets a license and works in real estate, it would be much better than working part-time at a restaurant, right?”
When my husband died and I was left alone, I cried tears of despair because I felt like the world had collapsed, but the tears that kept flowing now were not those things.
There are times in life when we cannot avoid good things, bad things, and sad things.
Jinsook Yoon was not an idiot either, so she fully understood the meaning of what Cheolsu was saying.
It is also necessary to prepare for when something bad happens.
‘real estate…’
In the current situation, if a problem arose with Cheolsu, Yoon Jin-sook had to take full responsibility for his livelihood.
“Okay, Mom, I’ll give it a try.”
At those words, Cheolsu and Yeongsu gave a high five and said.
“It’s because my mom didn’t do it. Once you start, you’ll be recognized no matter what you do.”
“that’s right!”
Jinsook Yoon smiled faintly when she saw that her two sons liked it.
Then, I turned my eyes and looked at Kim Bok-dong’s photo, wiping away the tears that flowed over and over again.
‘Thank you, honey.’
