After 12 Hours

Facebook News

December 25, 2021. Christmas. Korea was overrun by the Chinese economy, but even so, there were trees everywhere in Seoul and Carol rang out. It's been a long time since I went on a date with Young-ho to Jongno. I was working for a while at home, at work, at home, taking the company elevator, but she was a little frustrated.

Do you want to go to the famous Dongdong Cathedral with me? ’

It was the beginning of the story. She didn't have a religion, but I like the atmosphere around the Christmas meditation church. So I walked around Jongno's old streets with her, eating, drinking coffee, stopping at the Myeongdong Cathedral and praying, and enjoying a date. It was a little snowy and white Christmas, so I liked the taste better.

“That's great, isn't it? ”

“I see. It's better when it snows. ”

There were so many people around the Christmas statue. There were many believers who came to pray, but I also saw a lot of couples who just came to enjoy dating like us. I look at that crowd and I feel like

‘Maybe someone will recognize me? ’

I thought about it, but it didn't happen. Some people used to look at our couple, but they were looking at her more than I was. Behind Your Back

‘Wow, that sister is pretty. ’

"Hey, did you see that? Isn't he a celebrity? ’

It was 100% when I saw that sound. Even though I was quite famous, it was famous among investment industry people, entrepreneurs, and it did not seem to be recognizable by the general public. In the beginning, I was only famous for the title 'stockbroker Han Sang-hoon who got rich from soil sauce’, so few people could see my face and match it with Han Sang-hoon. When someone sees me on the road, I think they will see me as a "beginner in a family with money." Not yet.

‘Wouldn't it be the last winter to wander the streets like this?'

A few months later, it was likely to become known that our company had held a position to sell to China early before the July Great Fall. And the fact that I became the richest man in Korea. Most people don't know the second place or the third place well, but they remember the first place as well.

If I predict the Great Fall and find out that I have invested more than 33 trillion won in advance, then I have more money than all the big companies in the world. Then people will remember not only my name but also my face. Korea's wealthiest. Everyone's gonna want to know that title once in a while. Then it will be difficult to fly like this.

‘There goes the rich Korean man. ’

Because you and I are gonna want to see each other at least once. Maybe some people want to do weird things. Suddenly begging or threatening.

"Well, now that I think about it, that really sucks..."

It's a bit of a pity to think that it's going to be difficult to walk the streets normally like this anymore. But what to do, I've already become the richest man in Korea. It's kind of like taxes. Taxes subject to famous taxes. Ai-young is one of those kind of mercenaries. Young Yi pays taxes based on beauty, and I pay taxes on the title of Korea's wealthiest. This is inevitable. Maybe it's fate.

‘You're late today, but you won't get mad. ’

This might have been planned since I picked up the starlings.

"Fate... I can't help it. I can't help it… ’

That's what I'm thinking.

“Brother, what are you thinking? ”

Aryoung next to me asked me. I surrounded myself appropriately.

“Huh? No. I just wanted to feel cozy and nice because it's snowing. ”

She might be a little disappointed if she finds out that this normal date is going to be difficult in the future.

“Hmmm. Yeah. I'm gonna go to the bathroom. Wait here. ”

After leaving that note, she went into a building in the Myeongdong Cathedral. I looked behind her and thought,

‘Starting next year, dating will be overseas only. ’

But it was then.

“Huh?"

A man in short hair and glasses, in his 40s, looked at me and suddenly stopped. I looked at him, and he looked at me. When his eyes met, he opened his eyes wide and said.

“Isn't that... Representative Han Sang-hoon? ”

However, there was someone who eventually recognized him. Originally,

"No, no one recognizes me? ’

I wanted to, but then someone recognized me.

"This is gonna bother you."

I want to think about it. I thought about putting him in front of me.

Let's pretend we don't know. ’

But he said in a confident manner.

“Invictus... is that right? ”

I thought it was impossible to lie, so I lowered my voice a little while looking around.

“Yes, that's right. ”

The man was quick to notice. When I teased that I didn't like crowds, he also lowered his voice.

“Nice to meet you, Jules. I'm a journalist of economic uniqueness. ”

Economic journalist. So he recognized me. He continued.

“I came a long way the other day, but you don't remember me? ”

I nodded my head honestly. I sometimes encountered reporters at work, but I couldn't remember where I saw them.

“Yeah, I don't know...”

“President Seong-won Joo, when you were the mayor of Seoul, you came to win an award, right? It was then, a year ago, two years ago. Haha”

“Ah, I see. ”

I was about to leave with a rough answer. She's in the bathroom right now, but she'll be back soon. Not all of them, but some journalists dig into other people's privacy when they have money. Like paparazzi chasing after Oh Hyun-seok, or dog-bitten crew member Lee. He's been asking me questions.

“I was in the aftermath of China. Haven't many companies suffered this time and invested in China? ”

Although it was an economic question like an economic newspaper journalist, I did not intend to accept the interview. Already

"I am the richest man in Korea. ’

I didn't want to go. I told him roughly.

“Well, I invested. To China.”

That wasn't a lie. By omitting the direction of the investment.

“Oh, did you? Well, that must have been... quite a loss, huh? ”

But as the question came about, I came out of the building where Ah-young had entered from afar. It was a long time ago, but I didn't want her to become famous. I nodded roughly.

“Yes, it is. But I don't want to be interviewed here. I came here to play. ”

He wanted to ask me something more, but I walked out of his way and walked towards her. I ignored him and he didn't follow me anymore. She asked me.

“Do you know him? ”

I shaken my head and said:

“Journalist. Let's go. Don't show your face. I don't want to be on the news.”

“There doesn't seem to be any cameras. ”

I glanced at him. He was watching me from afar. But that look is a little suspicious. Even though she didn't seem to have any cameras. A unique journalist wrote an article about me. The next morning, I received it. As usual.

‘In 12 days. ’

I wrote my name on the news and welcomed a strange news story.

‘Representative Han Sang-hoon who was trying to win. Large losses from investing in China? ’

There is no news like this in the future news that I have seen, but it seems that coincidence created on Christmas Day has created a new butterfly effect. I read the article.

‘... Representative Han Sang-hoon is known to have suffered significant losses from investments in China. Chairman Han Sang-hoon, who became the biggest investor in the investment industry in the succession of Kaigames, Hyundai Pharmaceuticals and Future Sync, made a huge investment in China, then lost most of the money he had made in the recent catastrophe in China... He went to the trouble and prayed for a sympathetic church to borrow the power of faith...’

I've got a forehead, not a head. I wrote a very novel.

"With one or two of those words... did you write this?" ’

Surprised on the one hand, and I think it's worth it. In the last half year, 'the investment firm has lost money’ has been so natural that it is not a news story. Moreover, I gave a slightly misleading answer. Of course, it's wrong to write an article with that.

‘Yes, this is going to get some views. There must be a lot of people who want to see me go to hell. ’

As always, the public is very fond of stories about who's broken or who. Although I don't like it face to face, it is a very good form for them to say that someone who was popular ran. A young man in his early 30s who was on the verge of becoming soiled. I was also a target of jealousy to others. I could easily see people who would do bad things to me if I went on the Internet.

‘That guy's company and his grades are second graders, but he's just lucky to be like that. ’

‘I think people are lucky. I heard he saw the guy downstairs, Vice President. ’

‘That's a lucky one. That one.'

I thought about the article.

Do you want me to stop him from coming out? It's not true. '

On the contrary, I think it would be more dramatic if news came out that the article was broken first and later became the richest in Korea.

‘I thought he was going to die in the end. ’

We can feed those who think like that a lot.

‘Let's leave it at that. Now that I'm a celebrity, I can't live with the good news all the time. ’

The total number of large businesses in my country is also going through this. Once you've done something, you have to do an evil baptism.

*

The day after Christmas. Morning. The news hasn't come out yet. It takes time to write and publish. But strangely enough, there was someone who knew that news like that would come out first.

Tiri ~ Tiri ~ Tiri ~ Tiri ~

Phone call to mobile phone. The person who called was Lee Won-Jae from the crew. I received it without much thought. He used to greet me at the end of the year even when everything was fine.

“How are you, Jules? ”

I lightly greeted him.

“Yes, I'm fine. What about you?”

“Yeah, I'm good, too. By the way...”

He hesitates for a moment and says:

“There's been some strange news? ”

When I said "weird news," I felt it was just that news. He seems to have received the news before anyone else. even though he is not an affiliate of the crew. He continued.

“One representative invested in China and lost a lot...”

I listened to it and thought to myself:

If that's true. You're breaking up with me? ’

But then, something passed through my mind. Maybe this stupid fake news will help me.
