I had to go to the hospital in Guro-dong, so I finished my work in a hurry today.
I dragged myself into the subway. I got off at Namguro Station on Line 7 and went to Korea University Guro Hospital.
My mother and brother were in the hospital room. Dad was sleeping with an IV needle in his arm.
"What happened?”
"I'm having surgery tomorrow. Fortunately, it's early cancer, so it's okay if you operate."
"That's a relief. You're 100 years old these days, so you'll be fine with the surgery.”
Dad opened his eyes and looked at me. There was no focus on the eyes.
"Yes... you're here.
Dad only said this and then closed his eyes again and fell asleep.
Mother asked, offering a seat.
"You haven't eaten, have you?”
"No, it's okay."
Mom peeled the apple for me. Mom also gave me first and then younger brother.
said the mother, sighing.
"My doctor says I'm fine with surgery, but I'm worried about the surgery."
For a moment, I thought my dad would lend me 5 million won to buy a truck, so I didn't have any money.
The other patients in the hospital room looked at me.
The old patient next door said to his mother.
"My son?"
"Yes."
"You must be strong!"
The old patient then watched TV in the hospital room.
TV was reporting the suicide of Sung Wan-jong, former chairman of Keangnam Enterprises.
Sung Wan-jong's list of politicians who bribed them also reported.
After a while, my mother looked at me and my brother and said,
"You guys go in now. Aren't you going to work tomorrow?"
My brother looked at the clock on the wall of the hospital room.
"The subway will be cut off. Go ahead.”
"What about your mother?"
"I should sleep here. We can't afford to be caregivers, can we?”
"Mom, didn't you say your back hurt?”
"It's all right. Go ahead and get in."
"What about the restaurant?"
"I told the restaurant owner. He said he'd go tomorrow afternoon. Don't worry about me and go in!"
My brother and I left the hospital room.
We took the elevator without talking to each other and came down to the lobby on the first floor. The younger brother followed behind with his head down.
Late at night, the patient waiting room chair in the hospital lobby was empty.
I thought I should discuss the hospital fee with my brother.
"Jun-hee, let's talk for a minute."
I called my brother up. My brother looked me in the face without a word.
"I don't know if you heard, but I bought a truck last month. I bought it for 20 million won, but I borrowed 5 million won from my dad because I didn't have enough money. That's why I don't think there's any money in the house. I think I'll have to borrow the hospital fee from you. I'll pay you back soon because I work."
My brother chewed his lips without saying anything.
"You must have made some money in the meantime, don't you?"
The younger brother only chewed his lips and said, pouring out chicken poop tears.
"Well, that's... I'm going to take the internet lecture."
"In-gang?"
My brother didn't say what kind of internet lecture he was.
I knew intuitively that the money saved by my brother was enough to spend on civil servants or some kind of certification exam.
"What kind of online lecture is it?"
The younger brother kept his head down without saying anything.
I didn't want to crush my brother's dream of studying well.
"Okay. I'll discuss the cost of hospitalization with my mom."
Until I got off the subway at Sillim Station and got on the bus again, my brother remained silent all along. There was no word until I came home and opened the door. There was no word when I smoked e-cigarettes.
She was quiet today when she left all the windows open, complaining that she smelled like a cigarette.
And himself as a paeminiseuteu gisedeungdeunghae, but seemed cowed younger brother, who was Provence, in front of money.
I decided to sell the car.
Even if the work was hard, I would keep doing it if I lost 5 million won or 6 million won a month, but I couldn't do it. Due to my poor work, there was less delivery and a lot of money was spent on car maintenance. Just a little more than 2 million won was running out of money.
"Let's sell the car. If we sell it back for 20 million won, let's pay back 12 million won from Saemaul Bank and 5 million won from my dad." And let's look for jobs again."
Even if I sell my car and pay off my debts, I have 3 million won left, so I decided to live with ease. I decided to be satisfied that I had a good experience with the delivery service.
I called Daedong Tongwoon's managing director.
"Well, I'd like to sell my car for family reasons. Can't you bring it back from there?"
"The car doesn't buy back here. It's on the contract. Why don't you keep working?"
"I've got a situation."
I hung up and tried to sell my car at a secondhand market.
I drove my truck to the secondhand trade center.
"How much can I sell this car for?"
A secondhand sales center worker said after a round of the car.
"I'll give you 10 million won."
"What? Ten million won? Huck!"
I left the secondhand trading center without looking back.
"Puppies! You're going for a 20 million won car!"
I went to other used car dealerships and got angry.
"I've heard that there are a lot of crooks in the middle and high trading centers. You seem to think I'm a pushover, don't you?"
I came to another sales center. When I said I would sell the car, a man in his 50s came out and looked at the car.
"Frozen carts haven't been running very well lately. I'll give you 10.5 million won for an extra 10 million won."
"What? 10.5 million won? Wow..."
I thought he was a fraud, too. On the other hand, I also suspected that the market price of this car might be around 10 million won.
I decided to go to a used car market in another city. I went to Pyeongtaek.
"How much can I charge for this car?"
"Well.... I'll give you 9 million won."
When I heard that it was 9 million won, I thought that I had been swindled by Daedong Unsu. I went straight to Daedongsu because I had a fever. I argued with the managing director.
"Isn't this a scam? It's a complete scam to sell a 10 million won car for 20 million won!"
"Fraud! You're a young man. You looked closely at the car and bought it!”
"But why is a car worth 20 million won worth 10 million won?”
"That's what they're trying to do! Am I responsible for that?”
"This is a complete scam!"
"If you bought a car, you'd have to work for a year and two! Why don't a young man quit after a month or two of hard work!"
"Hey, you crook!"
"How dare you do this!"
"I'll sue the police!"
"Do it if you want to! I'll see all the crazy ones."
I'm thirsty from evil. I poured some water from the water fountain in front of Sangmu desk.
The managing director sweetened him with soft words.
"Do more work. If you sell your car back, it'll cost you shit everywhere. There are a lot of people who buy cars here and take more than 600 sales per month, and take more than 400 of their actual purchases, except for expenses."
I decided to sue.
No matter how much I thought, I sold a car worth 10 million won for 20 million won, so I thought these guys must be the ones who stole it.
I left the office in a state of dainty and excitement.
I was thinking of going to the police station, but I happened to see a sign from the attorney's office and went in for a consultation.
