I wondered what a man named Lee Won-kyu was saying.

I wondered if you were asking me something because you said you wanted me to be especially desperate. I knew I had a lot of money, so I thought you were asking me to lend you some money.

"What do you mean, you want to be serious? Tell me."

"I..."

Lee Won-kyu hesitated.

"It's all right. Go ahead."

"Thank you for transferring me to J.S. Development and offering me four major insurance policies."

"That'sir.

"Why don't you get out of the staff again?"

"You're going back out of the staff? So you're not going to do this?”

"You have to do this. However, I want to work without being a part of the staff.”

"Are you saying that because I'm a young man and the boss, Mr. Kim Hyung-sook, is also a young woman?”

"Cheo, you're welcome. That's absolutely not it. Rather, I'm grateful that I've met good people."

"But why are you leaving the staff? You liked that one day the local health insurance issue was solved, didn't you?

"I thought about it at home yesterday. I think it'd be better if I left the office and now it's a real estate office in my name."

"What?"

"Every time I make a deal, I spend too much money."

"Isn't that because it's in the Licensed Realtor Act?"

"If the transaction amount is more than 900 million won, the maximum brokerage fee rate is 9/1000. Gangnam apartments are worth more than 10 million won."

"So if Lee Won-kyu leaves the company and runs a real estate office, he can get a fortune."

"I'll dedicate half of the cost to the boss. Isn't JS Development a temporary company anyway? I'm eligible to be a real estate agent, so I can start a real estate agency right away."

"Isn't this office on the second floor? Shouldn't the real estate office be by the side of the road?"

"Not necessarily. The second floor is also good for the big real estate. Kim Hyung-sook doesn't have to come here often either."

"Is that so?"

"All you have to do is write a contract. I'll take responsibility for paying the balance in full and even the name of the house. And after we finish cleaning, we'll hand over the keys to Kim Hyung-sook."

Lee Won-kyu seemed to be a strategy to secure a real estate store rather than sticking to the company that will be disbanded in three years.

I looked at Mr. Kim Hyung-sook and said,

"Then the four major insurance policies must be terminated."

"All I have to do is report my loss. Nothing is difficult."

I stared at Lee Won-kyu.

He wasn't quite the right person for the organization. It was a self-employed type.

I thought it would be better than having someone whose status was uncertain.

I kept looking at Mr. Kim Hyung-sook and said,

"Our J.S. Development Co., Ltd.'s main business address is the Yeouido office, right?‘

"Yes."

This time, he looked at Lee Won-kyu and said,

"Then the office here has a lease agreement with the J.S. Development Company, and it has to be terminated. And I'll have to change it to Lee Won-kyu's personal relationship. Wouldn't the owner of the building bother you?”

"The owner of the building is a familiar person. You don't have to worry about that."

I gave my consent after thinking for a long time.

"Okay, I'll turn this office to Mr. Lee Won-kyu and remove it from the J.S. development staff. Instead, we would like to have 100 houses for sale within 6 months. That's for urgent sale."

"Okay."

"And as you said, you'll have to cash half of your expenses into my personal account."

"Okay, I will."

"Will you register as a business operator tomorrow.

"Yes, I'll register as a real estate agent tomorrow. Instead, if you don't ask other real estate agents to go through with it, I'll take a fortune and you'll get a slush fund."

"Okay."

"If you make a 1.5 billion won deal, the brokerage fee is as high as 13.5 million won. If the boss purchases 100 units, he will incur a brokerage fee of 1.35 billion won. If I take half of this, I'm a solid realtor."

"Does that happen?“

"Then I can take care of the boss's errands for the rest of his life. It's a nice house, it's a nice building, it's a nice shopping mall, and I'll work

The next day I called in Chang to talk about Lee Won-kyu.

"Lee Won-kyu wants to work independently. He's leaving J.S. Development and opening his own real estate agency office."

"He called me last night, too. In about three years or so, Choi said that if he shook his hand, he would be in the Nakdong River."

"Well, is that so?"

"If we dispose of the property we bought and close JS development, we have room for people working here at Invest, but we don't have room for ourselves. And he's not even a fund expert.”

"I understand his argument."

"I don't know if this is his business and he'll do better."

"So I approved it for now.“

"But I'm worried about something."

"What?"

I`m a little worried about the combination of the government`s clampdown on household loans and rising market interest rates. The interest rate on home mortgages has risen steeply, resulting in more than 5% of products per year. I'm afraid we're buying an apartment at a bad time."

"So I think it's time to live. There's no sale in Gangnam unless it's now. You'll see. If we don't get the real estate that's running away with the change of government, it's going to be a real estate craze again."

"Well, is that so?”

"After the candle, Cheong Wa Dae still hasn't come up with any answers?”

"We don't consider President Park stepping down as a way to deal with the political situation."

"It's going to be noisy. Yesterday, we said we would bet on the theme stocks of the opposition presidential candidate, but I don't know if we bought them all."

"Yesterday, Jung and Song traded all day long. They say they've swept up stocks that don't have the upper limit."

"I don't know if it's an after-hours rally today."

"It's strong."

"Then we can hold onto it and wait."

But the ruling party is also a problem. The non-Park faction and the pro-Park faction seemed to be at odds."

"How do you conflict?‘

"The Saenuri Party's non-Park faction is launching an independent leadership that will confront the pro-Park leadership head-on."

"I can hear the creak up to here."

"The government is signing Jisomia with Japan even though it is in the state of a plant government due to candlelight vigils."

"What is jisomia?"

"It's a military intelligence protection agreement."

"I don't know much about the military. Whether it's good or bad."

"Experts say information is from the U.S. and Japan is not that big."

"You want to show that the government is still alive."

After Chang left the president's office, I called Jung and Song.

"Did you buy all the opposition presidential theme stocks yesterday?"

"I bought it."

"Did you fly all the 7.2 billion won in your own account?"

"I've blown them all of them all.

"Who did you buy?"

"I thought I was too exposed, so I bought it as Lee Jae-myung theme stock. We haven't hit any high prices yet."

"Then you must have bought the same thing you bought personally."

"I did. I bought the same item for management. Totalsoft, Intergies, and Dongshin Construction."

"Throw if you get the first cap."

"I'll throw it if I see a yield of more than 30 percent even if I don't get the first cap. I feel like I'm on a running tiger's back riding on stocks that I don't buy from down there."

"Okay. It's good to earn, but it's better.”

When Jeong and Song left, they called Kim Hyung-sook this time.

"Yesterday, Mr. Lee Won-kyu said he would run a real estate office on his own. Is that okay with you? Is there any problem with Mr. Kim Hyung-sook's work?"

"I don't care. I'd like that, too. It's okay because I'm going to just one office rather than going around the real estate office for sale. I think it'll be easier to work."

"Well, then you'd rather have Lee Won-kyu's real estate office than the J.S. Development Office."

"I'm sorry to tell you this, but... It's kind of weird to set up a J.S. development office and work in a small office with Lee Won-kyu."

"What's wrong with you?”

"There are a lot of men and women in this spacious office, but I didn't want to be there because I was going to be alone with an old man in the second floor office.“

"I don't think I'll eat it..."

"I didn't want to eat it, if not eat it. His harsh breathing is harsh to the ears.”

"I kind of get what you mean. Then go only when you have a contract."

"I'd like that, too."

When Mr. Kim Hyung-sook went out, I suddenly wanted to see Eun-young.

When she came home from Donhwamun last time, she said, "My face was buried in my chest in a taxi. I like the sound of breathing coming from my brother's heart. But I guess that's not Kim Hyung-sook.]

I sent a text message.

Are you free after the candlelight vigil?]

The reply came about an hour later.

[Sorry. I read the text late. I'm still busy because I have a new program.]

[I want to go to Eunyeong's house this Saturday and say hello to her parents.]

[I'll get in touch with you.]

[I'll wait for the good news. I love you.]

I found a picture of Eunyeong on the internet on my smartphone.

Park Un-young was a famous announcer, so she had many image pictures.

Among them, I liked the picture of me wearing the clothes I wore when I went to Songchu.

I took out the picture and closed it up. And kissed.

I thought I'd just rush into Eunyeong's house before she contacted me. Then, I was worried that Eunyeong might think that parents are rude even though it would be good to evaluate parents as powerful people.

"Eh-hyo, I've been waiting for you so far. Let's wait a little longer."

I wanted to go to the cafe forest hoe in front of Hongdae this evening.

Unknowingly, there seemed to be something in my mind that I was trying to recall memories with Eunyeong.

I stopped by a hoe in the woods on my way home from work.

There was a customer in the woods on the hoe, a fat woman sitting back smoking. I sometimes smoke e-cigarettes, but I didn't smoke them very well.

As I walked into the cafe, the woman sitting looked at me.

"Oh? Director Hwang Mi-na!"

"Oh my! What are you doing, Mr. Choi?"

"I just stopped by once on my way. But he's drinking beer alone."

Hwang Mi-na quickly put out her cigarette and said,

"A piece of work hasn't come undone.”

"Oh, that's what happened. May I sit in front of you?”

"Sit down. Eun-young is coming here later."

"Oh, really?"

Unexpectedly, I was glad that Unyeong came here.

"I'm glad I came today."

"You didn't make an appointment with Eun-young, did you? How's the business going with Eunyeong and Youth?”

"I'm not seeing Eun-young because she's busy."

"He's busy these days. I'm in charge of one more program. But you're wearing a nice coat, aren't you?
