After 12 Hours

Underboss

“Hello?”

I bowed my head.

“Yes, my son. How are you?”

My father nodded and hugged me.

“Oh, my God, what a house. ”

My mother put down her things, whether she gave me her eyes or not, and went out to tidy up the house. I held on to my mother.

“Oh, leave her alone. I'll take care of it. ”

But she gave me a big back to dry her.

"Got it!"

He hit me.

“Don't worry about it. This is how you live with yourself? ”

While eating on my desk, I collected a bag of sweets and underwear that was hanging from the chair.

“Why did you hit my son after all this time...”

I said, touching a warm back. Mother's palm print will be red on my back. There, even the last sister who closed the door said a word.

“How can you not grow up when you're thirty...”

I looked at my sister Crystal and said a word.

“What are you doing here? ”

“Yes, I'm going to do some shopping. ”

I didn't know when I was living alone, but it looks a little small since all four families are in my little studio. I apologized to my mother for cleaning up the house, saying that I was busy. I joined the cleaning.

“So you're saying Sunyoung isn't going to have a party? ”

“Yes, I'm very tired. Tell your aunt I'm sorry. ”

“But it's a family event... don't you think you should go? ”

My mother suggested it again, but my father stopped it and went out.

“Forget it. Sang-hoon's having a hard time at work. Let him rest in peace for a day. And if you go to a party, will your sisters and nephews stay put? ”

My father glanced at me. My father is the only one who understands me. I continued to say what my father had to say.

“When I go to the Stone Festival, my aunts and cousins all get together and ask me when I'm going to get married. ”

In fact, that was a bigger reason than being tired. I know my relatives are not malicious, but that question was uncomfortable for me anyway. I want to congratulate Sunyoung and her cousin, both stoned, but I don't want to congratulate her until I hear that story. My mother watched me for a moment, then took out the horse.

“Yes. Speaking of which... don't you have any women these days? ”

I shook my head.

“Nothing.”

At that time, he said without noticing.

“Why is that pretty nurse girl you met back then...”

In that words, I am a mother and a sister and I stare at my father. Then his father scratched his head and said.

“Oh... did you break up? Sorry, sorry."

My father didn't seem malicious, but I had to think about her for a moment.

"Bitch."

Mom's on my side when it's like this.

“Never mind. He wasn't good enough for me. It looked like a fox to me. Forget about Sang-hoon and meet a new girl. Don't you have a date these days? ”

“I don't have time for a date these days. ”

“Why are we running out of time? I'll see you on the weekends. ”

“I'm tired and need to rest on the weekends. If I work two or three times a week, it piles up... so I can rest until Saturday night, but my fatigue won't subside. ”

I brought up the slutty workplace story. I was determined to include the story of leaving. But then my sister got in the way.

“It's because I don't really like a woman yet, brother. If you really like it, you'll be tired and you'll be running around sleeping. ”

I shook my head and said to my brother,

“Because you haven't been working late at work. ”

“Why are we working so late? Do you have any idea how long I've been stuck in school at the gymnasium? ”

I shot my brother.

“It's not working overtime, it's playing. You have to peck it out with your boss...”

My sister hasn't said a word to me since the old days.

“We're tight, too. Nowadays, my parents are my bosses. Dozens of bosses are begging me to do this to my child...”

“Parents... Parents still write to you with respect. I'm a half-wit. ”

“Stop it. It's usually the hardest thing you do. ”

My father, who was listening to the quarrel between brothers, went out to mediate. Our brothers and sisters kept their mouths shut. Meanwhile, my mother took out a sad word.

“You might get married first. ”

I looked at my sister.

“What, are you still together? The... doctor? ”

“Who is that guy? I might be the brother-in-law. ”

“How long have you been together? Two years? Three years? ”

“It's been four years. Why are you so interested in him? ”

“Are you interested in me? ”

I don't know what kind of doctor likes about his money, but I've been seeing him for a while. I don't think it's nonsense that it might be a brotherhood. I told my parents.

“I'm fine. Even if your brother goes first... a fortress is no time to talk about such things, but someone who can. ”

That said, my father intervened.

“Why can you go? There are good colleges and good jobs. ”

Work. Finally, the story came out. I drove the story towards the money this time.

“I have a job, but I don't have the money. I don't have any money saved up, I just have some debts...”

My mother said something.

“I don't care about money. I just want people. ”

“Women nowadays think that rich men are good people. ”

And then all of a sudden, "I guess I'm popular, too." ’I think. My father licks his tongue.

“The kids these days... we used to buy apartments with our bare hands...”

“That was my father's time. You know, you have to work for the last decade to buy an apartment room.”

I noticed and brought up the story I had prepared. As an excuse for retirement.

“So... I want to start a company when I see the opportunity. A salaryman's life... it's hard to make love, not marriage. Maybe I should start my own business…”

My mother's eyes widen when I talk about start-ups.

“Establishment? Is that what you're doing again? Don't you remember how late it was a year of work? ”

It was true. I was preparing for a job in the fourth grade of college, and for a while, I started a business and committed adultery. At the time, my parents cheered for me, but I failed. As a result, I was late for a job, so I was able to join the company now. She recalled that time and said.

“Then you said to yourself, in this country, business can have money. That's why it's hard.”

I said a quiet word.

“I know, but... just in case. I don't know if I'll ever get a lottery ticket… I want to try again. to start a business.”

“Hmph, I could use a damn lottery ticket. Don't think about anything weird. Just go to work. There are hundreds of thousands of unemployed young people these days. You're full, kid. ”

“Then go. ”

“I'll be back. ”

“Clean up your mess. ”

“Yeah, right. The place is so messy, there's no women.”

“Don't talk nonsense and go...”

That's how I sent my family. There were arguments like this, but the purpose of the summons was achieved. It didn't come out bluntly. ‘If you have money, you can start a business.' I've had conversations. I think I'll have to bring my luck up a few more times like this and talk to my parents. with billions of account verifications.

‘That way... your parents will be surprised. At that time, how else to say it… I feel like I've... had enough to live a normal life…’

But I don't think it's too late to worry about that. First, getting rich comes first.

‘Oh, yeah, I was just checking to see if there were any lottery articles out there today. ’

I suddenly sat back down in front of the computer.
