008/3 - Reactions

The next morning.

The reconstruction of the account by phone banking was a sigh of relief. A deposit of KRW 2,100 million was added.

‘I'm alive...! ’

One or two copies were paid in upfront taxes anyway.

It's not that I don't feel like Cao Samsara, but I felt relieved that I needed the money for some time.

‘It's really God's help. ’

Today is my father's birthday.

I almost went down empty-handed, but now I can get a gift thanks to the deposit.

“Lika, I'm so sorry. I'm only home for one day. If my parents are pets, it's hard to take them because they hate it. I'll be back early.”

“Meow.”

Lika wept lightly as if she could understand, then jumped into bed and clung her chin to the pillow.

Reconstruction quickly washed, dressed and left the house. The main house was in the water. It was about an hour and a half by subway.

‘I'd rather give it to you in cash. ’

Reconstruction changed my mind when I was thinking about buying a gift.

If I buy a gift that I don't like my father for no reason, I feel embarrassed.

I haven't heard a good sound since I was a kid. It was not like my mother or sister at all. The father was always cold to his son.

Reconstruction from Suwon Station found money and put 300,000 won in cash separately in the envelope. I went to the bakery and bought a cream cake. Father would not eat it, but it was for Mother and Sister who liked sweet things.

Ding-dong!

Reconstruction reached the villa where the family lived and rang the doorbell.

The sound of quick tugging at the slippers draws you close, and the door opens wide.

“What's going on? You're here early? ”

Jae-in looked at the wall clock, which was only past 2 p.m., and asked as if surprised. Reconstruction takes off its shoes with a smile.

“What were you doing? ”

“I was on holiday for a while. ”

When I saw the kitchen, Jae-in lied about being rested.

There was steamed ribs boiling in the cauldron, and there were ingredients on the dining table to make the weeds. It was clear that he had been working diligently since morning.

“Have you had lunch? No, you didn't. Sit down.”

“What about Mom?”

“He went hiking with his dad. It's time for you to come back. Eat first."

“Huh."

Reconstruction took out the chair and sat at the table.

Jae-in speaks eggs for his brother, pours out the ham, takes out the squid chopsticks and the kimchi, and takes out the rice. Suddenly, a delicious meal was prepared. They were all of my favorite dishes in reconstruction.

“I'll eat well. ”

“Eat quickly. Tell me if you're short on rice. ”

My sister's appetite remained the same.

Deep flavors that can't be tasted in any restaurant.

Reconstruction sometimes told Jae-in to set up a restaurant. I was serious, not joking. Her cooking skills were that good.

“Is it good?”

“Why do you ask? ”

“Eat well when you're alone. ”

“I knew it.”

“I wish I could come back home.... ”

“You know he hates me. ”

“I know I can't say everything, you idiot. ”

“Sis.”

“Huh?"

Reconstruction puts down the spoon for a moment. After swallowing the food in his mouth completely, he spoke to Jae-in.

“I think I'll be fine. ”

“Really? What happened to you? ”

The reconstruction lowers its eyes and smiles shyly.

Jae-in slapped the rebuilding thighs and urged an answer.

“Come on, don't beat yourself up. Come on, tell me. Tell me.”

“The editor commended that this article was interesting. ”

“Really? That's the editor I was talking to you about on the phone? Rumored to be strict.”

“Yeah, he's funny. I paid him a lot of money. Oh, so this. ”

The reconstruction took out an envelope containing 300,000 won in his arms. Gave it to Jae-in, he said.

“This is my father's allowance, but I don't think you'll receive it if I give it to you. ”

“Hmmm... ”

Jae-in receives the envelope. She looks inside and is surprised at how thicker she is.

“How much is this? Hey, 300,000 won? ”

“I'm surprised at that. ”

“Hey, take it out. Father, I can give you 100,000 won. ”

“Oh, Sis. Don't do this."

“You have to take care of your life first. Don't overdo it.You don't have to stand in front of her. ”

The reconstruction grabs Jae-in's hand and shakes his head.

“I'm not making a fuss. Imagine what I've been through. Am I the only one who's got a problem with that? ”

“Rebuild……. ”

“300,000 won? This is nothing. Soon they'll bring 3 million won, or 30 million won. Please don't say anything. Just take it. I'm not exaggerating. I can give you this much for your father's allowance. ”

My sister dropped her head. The reconstruction alone was furious, so he grabbed her shoulder and waved back and forth lightly.

“I'm going to cry again. Don't cry. If you cry, I'll go right away. ”

“I'm not crying. It's just the dust in my eyes. ”

“Don't lie to me. What is this dust again? ”

Jayne smiles bitterly with a red-nosed face.

“That's cool, my brother. ”

“Don't talk to her like you're three years old. ”

“Outside three? Hey, I ate 3,000 bowls more than you. What's wrong?”

“That's why I've lost so much weight lately. ”

“Hey, are you kidding me? It's only 50 kilos. Come here. It's so simple. ”

“Oh, I'm just kidding. I can't breathe.”

Jae-in strangled the reconstruction from behind his back with both arms. "Ding-dong" and the doorbell rang across their backs.

“Your mom and dad are the reason you're alive. ”

Jae-in goes to the front door and opens the door.

Reconstruction also stood up and looked at the porch. My father and mother were entering in mountain clothes.

“You've been back.”

“Oh my, we rebuilt early today. ”

As soon as she took off her shoes, I ran and hugged her for reconstruction.

My father was clearing his throat behind me and slowly taking off his climbing shoes.

“Why are you so skinny? You still eat ramen, don't you? ”

“No, thanks. Why is your mother so dry? ”

“Is he making fun of you? You've lost a lot of weight lately. Honey, do you think the reconstruction is making fun of me? He said I was skinny. ”

He didn't have an answer. After taking off his shoes, he climbed up to the living room floor and passed the rebuilding facial expressions and entered the room.

“Oh, that guy…. You understand, I had a shot of rice wine. ”

“I'm fine with it. ”

“I'm going to go check it out. Playing with your sister, son. ”

My mother tapped the rebuilding butt and followed my father into the room.

The door was closed and I could hear the way Father and Mother talked. As my voice became louder and louder, I quickly turned to solitude.

“Come on, you! How much thought do you have about reconstruction? Let's have a smooth ride today. What?”

“I can't believe he even thought about it! Who told him to come here? I can't even look at my face! Writing? Huh, a guy who can't make up his own story, who can't figure out his own life, writes novels from other people? You don't have to feed that pathetic bastard. Let him go! Go tell him to finish that line and go play with it fresh! ”

“You're real! ”

Reconstruction was moving slowly to the porch. Behind his back, Jae-in stands a face that is likely to burst into tears at any moment.

“Rebuild……. ”

Jae-in had nothing to say to her brother.

I didn't expect my father to be this desperate until your birthday. The anger against the son who abandoned his will and chose the writer's path was still intense and hot. It was a moment to reaffirm the crude reality.

“Be nice to your mom. I'm going.”

“I'm sorry. I'll visit you on your day off soon. ”

“You don't have to. I'll call you, I'll call you. ”

Reconstruction left the house with his wet gaze behind him. His feelings toward the subway station were not depressing. I was forced to take my next step.

"You'll see, Father. ’

Reconstruction gripped his mind and gripped his teeth.

Once I heard the sound of writing from my father, I abandoned my work and found Soju first. He was hit mentally every time.

But not now. It's because I'm starting to see a future that was always faint. So I hurried. To quickly go back to the studio and write the next volume of the unspoken novel we signed.
