I've left 9 billion in investment funds.

The rest of the money was transferred to the debit card account.

I decided to take a break from stock investment for a while and go to my house.

I called my mom.

"Mom? I'll be home this evening."

"Really? Then I'll make you your favorite sausage stew.“

"Should I get you something?”

"Don't buy anything expensive. If you really want to buy it, just buy a piece of bulgogi and beef."

"Okay, Mom."

I went home with a bottle of spirits I bought at the duty-free shop when I went to a butcher's shop with two roots of beef and marijuana. I was unlucky enough to meet the hostess.

I was obliged to say hello.

"Hello?"

But the host woman stood there blankly with her eyes wide open.

I wondered why this lady was doing this all of a sudden.

"Oh my! Oh my! Who is this! Isn't that the son of the room down there?"

I smiled and nodded again.

"On the table! On the table! I was wondering what kind of talent was coming in. Hi, I heard you make a lot of money, but you've changed like this! Your hairstyle has changed, too."

Only then did I notice that I planted my hair.

I came into the room quickly because I was embarrassed.

Mom came running with a smile and hugged me.

"Our son is here!"

It occurred to me that older women seemed too emotional.

My dad opened his eyes wide when I took out the brew at the dinner table.

"I bought a bottle of marijuana last time while I was on my way back. I bought it at the duty-free shop.”

"Have you been to Daemado?"

Younger brother kept looking at my head.

"You really seem to make some money. Seeing how you planted the unknown in your hair!"

I laughed my head off.

[Bitch, I didn't make some money, I made a lot of money.]

Dad drank a glass of spirits that I poured him.

"Well, this is my first brew in ten years."

"Eat a lot."

"But I'm not a brewer. I'm happy if I get caught."

Mom and Jun-hee also had half a glass each, saying, "Let's taste the brew."

Mom and Jun-hee drank just one sip and frowned and drank no more.

I spoke seriously at the end of the meal.

"Daddy, actually, I own the stock."

"Shares?"

"I made some money this time."

"How much did you earn?"

"I made money to buy a house."

I didn't say I made 9 billion. It was because there could be secrets between parents and children.

"What?"

Of course, mom and Junhee looked at me with surprised eyes.

"So I'd like to move out of my house. I buy an apartment."

Dad groaned and Mom and Jun-hee put down their chopsticks and only looked at my face.

said Dad, laughing.

"The house is ready. I lived here without rain, so I became."

"You should think about it too, Jun-hee. You change the subway twice and take a full bus from Sinrim station to here, right? Move it."

"I should have thought of Jun-hee, but..."

"Move to the Mokdong near Yeoeuido or Junhee's workplace. Or you can move to Yeouido or Gangnam. I have that much money."

All three of them must have been surprised by this remark, but they were silent with their eyes wide open for a moment. A moment later Jun-hee broke the silence.

"You don't have to think about me. My office is in front of Nambu Jiwon in Mokdong, but I don't want to stay long. If you move it, do as you want."

Mom looked back at Jun-hee and said as if she was blaming him.

"What are you talking about? It's hard to get a job, so I'll keep going!"

"I have an idea, too.

"Why? What did the lawyer say?”

"Not that."

I guessed it was because Junhee was studying for the exam.

"Mom, leave it. Jun-hee must be saying this because she has an idea."

Dad drank a glass of spirits and said with a stiff look.

Apartments in Mokdong and Yeouido are too expensive to do. Even if I have money, I'm against going in. People have to live within their means."

"Where would you like, then?"

This time, my mother said.

"All my dad's regulars are in Sillim-dong, Guro-dong or Yeongdeungpo, so you don't want to go far."

"Then I'll buy you an apartment in Sillim-dong or Guro-dong. But there are only old apartments in Guro-dong or Sillim-dong, so I'll look for them in Munrae-dong or Yeongdeungpo."

I didn't think I would if I asked my mom and dad to look for an apartment.

I decided that I should go see the apartment.

Dad said in a low voice.

"It's a good thing you made money, but wouldn't it be too early to buy a house?”

"It's all right, Dad."

"If you buy a house, buy it under your name and get a job. There's no woman to marry if you're a stock."

"I don't get a job. I'm thinking of doing business."

"Then do business and buy the house later."

"No, I have a separate business fund.

"Really?"

Dad looked up and down at me suspiciously.

Then he said as if he had thought of it belatedly.

"You seem to have a lot of hair, too."

Next to him, Jun-hee giggled and laughed.

"It's salty. Daddy!"

"Really? Do you plant?"

My dad and mom smiled at my hair.

I spoke resolutely.

"Then I'll look for a new apartment in Yeongdeungpo, so you know that."

I said that and stood up. I thought my dad and mom would throw up again.

"Why do you get up?"

"I have work to do at the office."

I hated the bumpy smell of the semi-basement room.

It was because my mom put onions in my room and a bag of red pepper powder.

My room was empty, so I must have put it back.

When I left the house, Jun-hee stuck her neck out at the front door and said,

"Good-bye, brother!"

I thought my younger brother Jun-hee is now treating me like an older brother.

"Hmmm, yes, good-bye to you, too."

I coughed a couple of times and left the gate.

A person living on the third floor came home late and ran into me.

I went to the bus stop quickly because it seemed like you kept looking at my head.

I looked for apartments in Guro-gu, Gwanak-gu, and Yeongdeungpo-gu.

A new apartment recently built caught my eye. It was the Yeongdeungpo Artzai apartment in the middle of Yeongdeungpo Station and Sindorim Station.

"The house was built last year. If it's 750 million, I'll buy 45 pyeong."

By the end of 2015, the house could have lived for as much as 750 million. It was on the verge of a real estate frenzy.

I called my mom.

"Mom, I've been looking for an apartment. How about Yeongdeungpo Artzai apartment?"

"Any apartment would be good for us anywhere. But do you really have money? I'm puzzled."

"Don't worry about that."

"By the way, is there an apartment that's not even springtime?"

"I tried calling the real estate. There are things that come out in winter."

"Really?"

"And besides, this apartment was built last year, so it's empty.”

"Really?"

"Then I'll sign and get in touch."

"If I'm short of money, shall I send you a deposit of 20 million won for multi-family housing here?"

"I heard you owe me a debt. Let it go. That's enough."

I decided not to touch the monthly rent deposit for the house where my parents live now.

I tried to hang up and go to the real estate office.

I wanted to sign a contract right away while the apartment was on sale.

"I should go to the community center before the real estate office.”

I took off a copy of my resident registration.

It was to check my dad's resident registration number. I thought it would be better to buy an apartment under my father's name.

I signed an apartment contract.

It's an empty house, so you can move in anytime with the balance, the property owner said.

A few days later, I paid the balance and got the apartment key.

"Well, this is our house, isn't it?"

It didn't feel real. I wanted to tell my parents and younger brother to come quickly.

"It's a new house, so you'd better get some new furniture, right?"

I've brought in a high-end refrigerator, washing machine, living room couch and dining table.

I put a desk, a bookcase, and a good chair in my room and Junhee's room.

"It's a near thing!"

The furniture looked nice. When I was in high school, I went to my class president's apartment and envied it so much that it looked much wider and better than that house.

I called my dad and mom.

"Tomorrow is Saturday, so come and see the house. I signed a contract."

"Already?"

"You should know that we have a refrigerator and a washing machine in."

"A refrigerator and a washing machine? It's okay to use it at home."

" Throw away everything you have at home."

Mom and dad came to see the apartment. Mom and Dad were very surprised.

"Hick! Is it this wide?"

Mom and Dad were shy and looked around the room.

"Hi, the room is spacious."

Mom kept saying exclamations, but Dad only nodded. It was because Dad had a job dealing with Alminium Chassis.

Dad thought he saw a lot of large apartments while working on window replacement.

Dad asked.

"It's going to be over 40 pyeong."

"It's 45 pyeong."

"Didn't you have a bank debt when you bought an apartment?”

"None."

At this remark, Dad smiled and nodded.

"Did you say that monthly rent deposits for multi-family homes in Sillim-dong are not available?"

"You don't have to add 20 million won to that. Dad, use it."

"Then I'll just have to open a store.”

"You want to do it on your own?”

"I have a lot of disagreements with the person I'm with, so I'll have to come out separately. We have more work to do in Geumcheon-gu, so we'll have to look for a shop in Doksan-dong."

"Don't you think the store should be spacious to store things like shashi?”

"It would be nice to go to a big place and leave employees behind, but you'll have to go with your money."

"Get a big store. I'll send you 100 million. We can get windows and equipment stores at a quiet place, not a food alley, right? All we need is a parking space, right? Get it."

"100 million is enough. But I bought a house and it's kind of hard to spend my son's money."

"It's all right."

"Then I'll cover the living expenses of the apartment. I'll pay you back 100 million won when I earn it. And I'll make your mom quit working at the restaurant."

"You should stop working at the restaurant because your back hurts. And I don't have to pay you back 100 million."

"What are you talking about! You have to pay me back!"

"And I bought this house in my dad's name.”

"What? Why did you do that? It's your house that you bought with your money."

Mom said with a smile.

"Leave it alone. If you die, Jun-sik will inherit this house anyway."

"But I think that's wrong. You're just paying more taxes.”

"Haha, I'm going to make more money and buy a house in Gangnam.”

My father and mother laughed happily at this remark.

"But isn't it far from Doksan-dong to get here?”

"I can't get to and from work in a truck that I'm working on shashi. This isn't Sillim-dong. It's a luxury apartment complex, right?”

"Ay, how about that?"

"I'll take the subway. If it's Doksan-dong, it's only three stops from here. My one-ton truck going to work can be parked in front of the store."

"The flaw in this apartment is that the subway is a little far away."

"No. Perfect. You can slowly walk to Sindorim Station for exercise.”

"Are you going to be okay?"

"I walked around the top of Shillim-dong. I can work for another 10 years, so don't worry. And you've made money, so keep it safe."
