Chemistry

3. Old Steel (1)

Pibiqueak ― Tak!

Jung, who immediately shut off the alarm, blinked his eyes and shook his head vigorously.

“Dammit. Another pep talk. ”

Day 5 of joining KG Chemistry.

I felt like my sleep cycle was a mess because of the sudden start of my work life. It seemed to have some effect on my overtime until yesterday.

‘Ruthless Dr. Moon. ’

Fortunately, tomorrow is Saturday.

‘If you stay here today, you'll get a good night's sleep. Dr. Moon, are you still going to work this weekend? ’

I can't even ask. Jung opens the visit, shaking his head.

As a child, I used to run excitedly, but now I come down a narrow staircase that requires a slight twitch.

‘Smells delicious. ’

Following the aroma that stimulated the marketplace, I turned my head and saw Mother cooking in the kitchen.

“What are you doing? ”

“stateless.”

“That's a lot of beef? Yes!”

“I'm boiling the cold, not you. Take the rest of the exam. ”

Horses were famous for their big hands when cooking, so there was no shortage of meat in the soup because they were the owners of a 'boarding house’.

“How many places does he want to go this time? ”

Jungwoo holds the water bottle on the dining table. I was about to put it in my mouth, but Hong Ji-sook approached me like the wind and grabbed my shoulder.

“I told you not to eat in the army. ”

“Ah! I haven't had a drink yet. ”

“Don't eat it! ”

Jungwoo sits on the dining table with his water bottle taken away and his face plummeted.

“That's too bad. I only fed grass when I was preparing for my mastery. ”

“What's so pretty about being number five in the back? And you, after spending a lot of money on college, what are you doing? ”

“Hmm · · · Alba? ”

I listened to Jungwoo, who naturally reacted, to throw the egg in his hand. Jungwoo immediately raised his hands and conveyed his intention to surrender.

“Half-sook me. ”

“Go wake up the cold. You don't have to call me. ”

“Got it.”

Mother had a strong habit of taking care of her smart little son, who had always been able to sprout towards studying. Jungwoo could hardly bear the thought of saying that he had gotten quite clever over the past few days.

I opened the door of my sister's room on the first floor, and I took a picture of her lying on the floor with my toes.

“Hey, wake up. ”

“Hmm.”

“Come out quickly or your brother will eat all your eggs. ”

The supper suddenly raises its head.

“Don't eat it. I'm gonna spit in your food. ”

“Keep your eyes open. ”

The way to awaken the competitive psychology at once was still effective today. The dinner came out of the blanket yawning, looking at Jungwoo.

“Why are you up so early these days? ”

“I told you, I'm in trouble. ”

Even though he looked like an old man, I could believe he was a friend of Jungwoo's. I was about the same height because I ate well.

A dinner that was roughly sought-after looked at Jungwoo and asked.

“I'm not quitting. Do you think Pei's strong enough to give me a box of Pentawachi skins for winter break? ”

Jung remembered the salary he would receive after a month became a meaningful face. About any game item.

“If you look well, you'll see good results. Don't wear my clothes. Clean up my room on the weekends, clean up my living room. ”

“That's it? What are you doing? ”

“Have you been deceived? ”

After completing the deal, a friendly brother entered the kitchen. Hong Ji-suk said to his two sons, picking up rice and soup in turn and placing them on the table.

“You know it's not free, right? ”

“Cancer, I know. This eldest son will repay all with kindness later · ·”

“I think I'll be ranked number five on this test. I didn't see all the commercials and Jun-cheol. ”

The dinner was interrupted while Jungwoo was talking.

“Fifth?”

At first glance, Jisuk pushed a bowl of beef with different qualities in front of his younger son. Jung Woo looked ridiculous and saw a dinner full of soup.

“Does the fifth place in my family make sense? Not behind, in front? ”

“Yes."

“Mom, who does she look like? I don't think so · ·"

Jung, who saw Hong Ji-sook gripping his ladle, clammed his mouth shut. The dinner looked at Jungwoo indifferently and said,

“I don't know, you look just like Dad. Even messing around like my dad. ”

“Son of a bitch. ”

At this time, Jung had nothing to say when he heard about the bad father who left the house. It's true that it's a bun.

Compared to the fact that he had enjoyed playing like his father even though he was not a bad teenager, he had barely regained consciousness in junior high. He was cute in the house.

However, I ate while smiling and smiling at the 2nd rank affection of Hong Ji-suk who takes care of the half-mature egg fried rice on rice air.

‘Just wait a month. You'd be surprised. ’

Jungwoo looked at his clothes, looking at the mirror on the porch. I spent almost all the money I received from clinical trials on new suits and t-shirts I ordered two days ago because I didn't have enough money for one.

“Goodbye!”

After the yard, Jung vigorously pushed against the gate.

As soon as it opened, the man in front of the house who was sweeping the street because of the squeaky noise turned his head in shock.

“Jungwoo, what about that door? Every time I go to the market at dawn, it's like a ghost. ”

“I'm sorry. I'll put on some oil for the weekend. ”

While Jungwoo carefully closed the gate, the man in front of the house looked up and down Jungwoo and asked.

“You're all dressed up. Interviewer?”

“Alba, I got a formal scarf because it got cold. Is it a good match?”

The man in front of the house nodded and smiled satisfactorily.

‘That's it. You can see it. ’

He is now retired and is living quietly, but a few years ago, he was a worker at home. And I had no idea at the time how great it was to go to work to retire.

“By the way, I'll be shooting meat next month at the Reflection, so look forward to it. ”

“Really?"

“I get it all the time. Soju is for you. ”

“Yup, good. ”

Jungwoo waved his hands and went down the hill for a month.

‘It's four weeks now, no, it's my first paycheck in three weeks. ’

I tried to look like a large company employee, so far my pockets have not been in good shape.

I went to the subway station and tried to imagine what I would do next month. New tablets, luxury sunglasses and expensive watches came and went in front of Jungwoo.

"Arthur, let's start by repaying the mortgage on the house. ’

I don't know what I'm going through the day after tomorrow. If you don't plan on spending long enough, you might get a long depression after short happiness.

‘But the gift is still... ’

He smiled as he imagined his mother and brother surprised by the photo padding he bought. It's almost time to put some strength into the shoulders in this town.

Ducky.

Jungwoo grabs the handle of the subway and blinks to sleep, then opens his eyes in horror. I was drunk by the heat coming warmly and went to visit my dream country for a while.

Where is it?

It looked roughly like it crossed Yongsan. Luckily, I woke up just before the transfer station.

Whew. Relieved to be hit by people and check their damaged clothes. Then I felt the train slowing down slowly.

"Huh? This isn't the place to stop." ’

- I'd like to introduce you. Some of the Han Steel Bridge super structures have fallen off and are now slowing down, intercepting the rails.

Passengers were buzzing on the train driver's broadcast.

- Please note that the structure is a rainfall and has nothing to do with the condition of the leg. It will take about five minutes to remove the structure from the rail. Thank you for your patience. Reminder once again.

Jungwoo stared at the train in surprise, but his legs were wide open.

"If I have to."

Seeing that the Uijeongbu side was passing by, I thought it wouldn't be a big problem, but waiting was never boring.

I spent 5 minutes surfing the web with my phone in my hand.

When the train moved again with the sound of weeping, customers who were anxious soon returned to rest. The train passed over the Han Steel Bridge more slowly than usual in case of an accident.

Jungwoo stared out the window at where it had fallen.

‘Rainfall.' ’

Maybe it's because I've been paying attention? The last few days, an invisible phenomenon suddenly came to Jungwoo.

The view of the steel structure of the Han Steel Bridge was greatly enlarged, as if it had landed a microscope.

As the painted surface of the structure approached the size of the cinema screen, the soil of iron surrounded by a smooth, pale film spread out in front of Jungwoo's eyes.

"Oh, I feel dizzy while I'm moving. ’

Similar to when I experienced VR virtual reality video on my mobile phone. Jungwoo felt nauseous while looking at the expanded world and assessing chemical information.

It was that fluffy paint that stuck to the ground like oil.

Because of the coating function of the paint that bounced away the droplets, no compounds were seen scratching the ground of iron.

Chubby chubby.

As the train slowly began to speed up, even the small world Jungwoo was watching came to shake.

The hearth turns its gaze at the large bolted areas shaking with severe vibrations and sees them expand to one more level.

Freedom electronics, you got a problem with that? ’

Now I see a dust star that looks like a friend of the neighborhood.

Those things that are slowly gnawing away at the ground around them as they come and go between the bolts and the iron frames are truly the demented ones in this area.

Fortunately, if the bolt was the size of a 63 building, the free electron was only a handful of sand.

For decades, it was hard to chew through the surface of the bolt, even though it was chaotic. Just because you're shoveling up a mountain doesn't mean it's going away right now.

‘You don't seem to have much to worry about. ’

Jung, who blinked his eyes and looked away, looked at the other window and then flinched. The surface of the bolts there was very abrasive and rough.

Pretty dangerous, isn't it? ’

If that structure falls, the train will stop at Uijeongbu. It would be unlikely, but I had to wait again if I encountered problems when I was going home from work. It can wait longer because of the night.

Jungwoo glanced at the phone number ‘Seoul Metro Customer Service' located near the train entrance.

"Hmm."

I picked up my phone as I was rethinking my worries.

The signal went off and an automated response came out. Following the instructions, you were asked to wait for the other agent to connect. The train was delayed and customers' phone calls were pouring in.

- This is Agent Kim Ho-jeong from Seoul Metro.

Soon, the call came through.

“It's no different. I was passing by the Han Steel Bridge when I saw a crack in the upper structure. ”

- Yeah, about the crack.

“This bolt appears to be heavily corroded due to its large iron frame and metal potential. The rainfall could fall again, but you might want to check this out. ”

- · · · You. Can you tell me exactly where it is?

“It was the southern end of the Han Steel Bridge. It's above the Uijeongbu Railroad. ”

Jungwoo gave a detailed description of his memorable location. The agent also told me his name when he asked me about his identity.

- Thank you, Mr. Lim Wu.

“You're welcome.”

- But can you tell me one more reason why you told me that?

“As such, electrons are · · · · · · · moving from highly conductive metals to weaker ones. ”

I couldn't understand it even if I explained it again. In fact, the advisor would be crazy. You're the first person to call in a danger because a particular structure on the bridge is melting. Good thing it's not a prank call.

I did what I had to do. ’

After all, I was satisfied that I kept the civic ceremony and went down to the transfer station.

Friday morning at KG Central Chemistry Lab.

The door of Research Room 1 opened and Seungju Oh, the head researcher, walked in.

“Can I have your attention, please? ”

About a dozen researchers who were sitting in his voice turned their heads.

“I need two seniors at the Electronic Materials Center. Holiday leave has paid off. Jung Hee and Yun Jae go. Just make it through the weekend.”

Two senior researchers stood up.

“This is a message from Team Leader Park. Metal Center New project researchers are constantly recruiting, so ask for support in Lab 1 · · · · · ·. ”

Researchers who were not on schedule began to lose interest and focus on their work.

Song Bo-young, who was sitting in the chair next to the entrance, opened her bag with a smile thinking that she would be able to see a full article today.

“Bo-young.”

“Aye.”

However, I had to stand up straight to the call of Oh Seung-ju.

“Did you take part in the Semi-Crystal Coating study this summer? I was asked by Korail. ”

“Yes, sir. ”

“I'm looking for the researcher at the city hall. There's some kind of corrosion seminar. ”

“Me? What about Captain Park? ”

“You're busy with your new project. Oh, and he asked me to say hi to General Kim for the railway. ”

After all, it was time to move quickly, so Song Bo-young closed the bag and hung it on her shoulder.

“Take some public bonds. Show him how it works out there. ”

“Is that so?”

Song Bo-young's eyes sparkled in the direction of Oh Seung-ju.
