Chapter 132 – Episode 132

She told Ohana that she would always be honest with her, but that didn’t mean she would just say whatever was on her mind without any pretense. It’s just a beast. The meaning is a little different.

‘After…’

For example, she asked me to talk to the people I live with. You want to explain the situation and get help. To put it bluntly, I was hoping for help from Han Ae-bom. I’m not ignoring Yoon Su-ah, but it seemed unlikely that she would be helpful in this matter.

[Terra One Room]

Normally, we would have gone in without any worries, but Ohana and I were both a little nervous. Is this what it feels like for a teenager to run away from home and then crawl back home?

“I’m asking just in case, brother.”

“Yes.”

“How far are you going to talk?”

「Beep beep beep!」

5844… He said as he entered his password.

“Everything.”

I opened the front door while holding tightly to Ohana’s hand, who was quietly moving away. A familiar sight welcomed us. Han Ae-bom quietly reading a book before going to bed. Yun Su-ah was hanging out the laundry because the sun was shining. The two women’s eyes turn in this direction.

I quietly opened my mouth.

“I have a story to tell you.”

* * *

In Ohana’s story, which lasted about an hour, a dam collapsed, and a huge flood came out. The flood water is gushing down.

“Uuuuu… Hana, what should I do? Huh, huh, huh. I feel sorry for us, so… Ugh, huh, huh…”

Suah Yoon hugged and patted Ohana tightly as she cried loudly. The only expression that came to mind was loud wailing. The world is crying sadly, as if it were their own business. Tears continued to pour out of my tightly closed eyes, and cries continued to escape from my naturally opened mouth.

How much strength went into her hands as she hugged Ohana tightly. It was the first time I saw veins on the back of Yoon Su-ah’s hand. Ohana flinched and smiled slightly.

“Sister, it’s okay… It’s okay. It’s already in the past…”

“Huh, no, no, where is that? Huh, they are terrible people. Those people are really, terrible people… Ugh, ugh, totally, so bad. Ugh. How hard was it, wow, how, how… “It was difficult.”

“Ah really… I’m fine. Ugh, if she keeps doing that, it makes me cry for no reason, huh.”

Despite Yoon Su-ah’s continued sympathetic consolation, Ohana could not hold back and began to shed tears. They both cry for a long time, making whimpering noises.

As I was watching it from behind, I felt ashamed of myself for thinking a little while ago that Yoon Su-ah might not be of help.

‘Ha, a two-headed bastard.’

I guess I really am an asshole. Not long ago, I realized that because of Yoon Su-ah, everyone here is enjoying the greatest happiness without any worries. I quickly forgot about it like a goldfish and just thought about things like that.

Even I, who had officially started dating, couldn’t comfort her like that. Yun Su-ah was the only one in this house who could comfort him, sympathize with him, and care for him as if he could heal his entire heart.

“Ugh, ok, ugh, ok.”

“Sister, are you okay? Lie down for a bit.”

“I’m sorry, Hanaya. I’m so sorry that I couldn’t help you with anything. Ugh, huh.”

In the end, Yoon Su-ah, who cried and got so angry that her fever rose, lay down. When Ohana sees that, her eyes become even moister. Yet, there was a somewhat relieved smile on her lips.

“What are you talking about? I feel like something that was sitting on my chest has come down. I was exhausted. Furthermore, I lost my family, I lost my job, and I was always betrayed by people I trusted in one way or another… Continuing to wander around without being able to settle down anywhere. It was so hard…”

Oh Hana was wheezing, she said while holding the hand of Yun Su-ah, who was breathing lightly.

“Me, really. I feel like I was saved a little thanks to my sister. It’s funny that I, a non-religious person, even use this expression. Really. Thank you, sister.”

“Sniff, what are you talking about? I am more grateful, Hanaya. I can’t believe she grew up to be such a beautiful child even after going through such hard times. It’s so amazing.”

Could it be that Yoon Su-ah is like an angel who fell to earth to receive temporary punishment from heaven? It’s true that she speaks beautifully, but Yoon Su-ah fundamentally has a warmth that is difficult to explain. After she consumed the replica of the elixir twice, the warmth became even more vivid. Now it’s visible to her eyes.
It wasn’t for no reason that Han Ae-bom showed weakness only to Yoon Su-ah.

“…”

On the other hand, since Yoon Su-ah and Oh Ha-na were filming a truly shocking drama, there was a character who stood out more.

When she glances to the side, she sees a child Bom looking indifferently in this direction, without changing at all from the position in which she was reading a book. She feels a little uncomfortable. The fact that that person is sitting on the floor.

As our eyes met, I couldn’t bear the awkwardness and asked.

“Mr. Aebom, what do you think?”

“About the story I just heard?”

“Yes.”

Only then did Aebom lift her back from the wall and open her mouth.

“First, let me tell you before I talk. Please know that I am absolutely not saying this to be unpleasant.”

“I know, of course.”

Ohana also nodded her head.

“We’ve been living under the same roof for several months now. Didn’t she know her older sister?”

Right. Everyone knows that Han Ae-bom is not a bad woman…

“One thing I thought was that, unlike me, who doesn’t know anything about the world, such as social skills, he has good living skills. “I thought there was a reason for everything.”

A feeling of unfamiliarity hit me in the face, almost as if the thoughts I had just thought were meaningless.

“I think I understand Vice President Oh Hanam’s methods. “I’ve run into her a few times during collaboration project inspections and conference halls, and I think she’s still the same.”

“…”

Silence followed. A silence that can’t help but make people uncomfortable. Even though the silence was clearly directed at her, Aebom Han didn’t even blink her eyes. Rather, there was a more relaxed atmosphere.

“Hmm, I mentioned it in advance because I thought you might make that kind of expression. However, I don’t think I said anything wrong either. Just because I cry hard doesn’t mean the past will change, nor does the present change. Even more so in the future… There’s nothing to say.”

Han Ae-bom said.

“If you want the future to be different, those facial expressions won’t be good.”

“Mr. Aebom.”

“I’m sorry for interrupting you, but I’ve been through more situations like this than I thought. When I said something that I thought was right, ironically, 99 out of 100 people didn’t understand. I get angry.”

“…”

“But in the end, the one person who follows has a very high chance of success. The results that show this are humans with their feet on top of people’s heads, Hyunwoo. Yes, for example, like Vice President Oh Hanam, the person who appeared in the story just now.”

Aebom tapped the cover of the book with her thin index finger and spoke.

“If you want to make a deposit, don’t put it in the bank. Invest in Ilha Group’s stocks for 10 or 20 years. Have you ever heard of this?”

I shook my head.

“No…”

“Well, first, anyone who wants to save money, save money, or save a lump sum has probably heard it at least once. Well, of course. “Ilha Group spent money to create that atmosphere and rumors in the first place.”

“… !”

I opened my eyes wide.

That much? Are you saying that if you spend money, you can manipulate the entire public opinion in Korea and control and sway people?

‘No, if you think about what Ohanam did… I don’t think it’s just impossible.’

I asked while swallowing a little.

“Is that really possible? These days, the Internet has also developed. They say that once information starts to spread on various sites, not even large corporations can stop it.”

Han Ae-bom laughed for the first time at my words. Her face looked as if she had just seen her cute 5-year-old son play a trick.

“Hyeonwoo, among the incidents that made a big splash, were there any that lasted for a long time? Can you find those posts or traces by searching through the community? Moreover, is there anything that really exploded?”

“… !”

“It’s a bit weird to say things with my own mouth. You can think of the world we live in as being different. Plus the internet? Big companies can’t stop it? Rather, it’s the opposite, Mr. Hyunwoo.”

Han Ae-bom spoke in an indifferent voice.

“Because of the Internet, we can influence many people with less money and fewer people than in the past. According to our taste.”

“… !”

I was shocked because I had never thought of it like that. For the first time, I became scared of the Internet, which I used to browse to pass the time.

“Of course, just spreading rumors doesn’t mean you’ll get results. However, while other small and medium-sized companies must risk their lives to produce a result of 100 to receive an income of 80, in the case of large companies, they only need to produce a result of roughly 80 to receive a result of 120.”

“…”

“Do you know why? This is because large corporations have already firmly established their image and pillars in the country of Korea. I told you before. About why large corporations spend so much money to train new employees. It’s to maintain this position where you can enjoy those things. Furthermore, anything that tries to suppress small and medium-sized businesses rather than positive collaboration… In the end, it’s a fight to protect one’s food.”

I was completely lost.

Meanwhile, Han Ae-bom continued talking.

“If there was another reason, it would be that someone who was under me suddenly came up to his own neck. As far as I know, there’s nothing more unpleasant than that. He even climbs on top of my head? “To put it extremely, I would want to bite my tongue.”

“…”

These words were so shocking that it was overwhelming just to process them into my brain. It seemed to be the same for Ohana.

Han Ae Bom looked at O ​​Hana who was mesmerized.

“That’s also true of what I said earlier, that I understand Vice President Oh Hanam. It’s a method that people in the past didn’t like, but wasn’t it the best method in the end? As a result, there was nothing you could have done. “You don’t get help from the law, and that doesn’t mean you can win through personal connections.”

Ohana bit her lip.

“I think that person is still capable. If you think about it that way, I think he will still be checked by those above him. There were quite a lot of people who didn’t like that person’s method because it felt like he was strangling the breath of the person he was trying to shake. Especially the presidents.”

“…”

Listening to Han Ae-bom’s story, I felt like I was already suffocating just by that alone. Do real chaebols or people living above think that way? It was a picture I could never have imagined.

I definitely thought that if I lived that way, I would be very good at running a company. Although he is cool-headed, he has a clearer understanding of how the world works than anyone else. It was truly a talent necessary for management.

Actually…

[Han Ae Bom]

[Management SS+]

I don’t know if it’s the effect of the ‘grade plan’ I got this time. There is a message like that floating over Han Ae Bom’s head.

I clenched my fists and opened my mouth.

“Mr. Aebom, to be honest… Even though Aebom just kindly explained it to me, I only understood half of it.”

“…”

“But, I think Mr. Aebom can help Ohana. So, please… “Can you help me?”

Han Ae-bom looks at me and says, “Hmm.”

“I’m sorry, I don’t like it.”

“… !”

At that moment, my heart pounded as if it would stop.

“… If it were me until last year, I would have definitely said that. Are you glad, Hyunwoo? Because it was this year that you met me. Hehe.”

“Huh, huh…”

As I looked at Han Ae-bom, who was smiling mischievously because she was similar to Ohana, I slipped on the floor with the sound of air being sucked out.

A baby came towards me and held out her hand.
“Then, shall we try to negotiate?”

I looked at her hand as she caught her breath. Although it was a little unfamiliar, it was clear that it was a trustworthy hand in the world. I silently held Hanae Bom’s hand.
