Chapter 306 – Episode 306
After the meal, Oh Cheol-ho calls me.
Seeing that he didn’t even touch his empty bowl, I, who had habitually picked up the empty bowl, carefully put it down.
“Let’s go. “After the sauna, I’ll have someone send you home.”
“Yes. Oh, what about one?”
I, who had reflexively stood up due to Oh Cheol-ho’s charisma, asked a beat late. Then, Oh Cheol-ho tilts his head as if he is dumbfounded.
“Why are you asking me that? “You could just ask my daughter directly.”
“Ah… Yes, sorry. Right… “Yes.”
“When I see you doing what you do, I get confused whether you are the same person as the guy who was struggling yesterday. Yesterday he was still a bit manly, but then he turned into a chaff again… Is that face the problem? “It looks like shit.”
“No!”
If I said yes, it felt like my face would be plastic surgery, so I answered in a voice full of discipline. Saying that you can’t cut the precious face that your parents gave you is just an excuse. Plastic surgery is both annoying and scary.
No matter what other people say, I don’t really hate my face when I look in the mirror.
Anyway, as Oh Cheol-ho said, I asked Oh Hana.
“What about one? Would you like to go to the sauna with us and then go home? Or not…”
Actually, I had some idea what choice Ohana would make here. That’s right, even if it’s a complicated expression. Because there was definitely great joy in it.
“I’m… I’ll read at least one Maran book and then go home. Take care of it.”
Oh Seol-hwa didn’t seem to dislike Ohana’s words.
“Hmph, sure. Because it’s important to start right away when you make up your mind.”
Looking at things like this, isn’t family itself happiness?
Of course, there are not only good parts. Because I had ‘family,’ I was able to obtain happiness and warmth that I could not feel alone.
No, rather, because there are twists and turns and conflicts… The small happiness that comes at the end may be very big.
[South Korea’s birth rate is decreasing day by day. Recently, it has finally reached a figure of 0.5 and is being reported around the world.]
[The increase in single-person households and the approach to an aging society are occurring several years faster than the government expected.]
[The number of people who no longer open their mouths for others is increasing exponentially, and there is no appropriate solution to this problem. If it continues like this…]
I felt a calm sadness at the news that suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
So, it’s not noticeable on the face.
Should I say that I feel sorry for the reality of this country from deep in my heart? It feels like that.
Family is such a wonderful thing…
[These days, the sentiment that people who don’t have money should not get married is spreading across the country. It’s not just something that’s just floating around on the internet, it’s also having a significant impact in real life. In fact, as a result of a survey of many people, it was confirmed that 31.7% of them did not want to pass on a worse future to their children than their own.]
I can understand the feelings of people who are afraid of getting married.
Ironically, if I hadn’t gotten married, even I could have lived a very difficult life last year.
I may be weighed down by the sense of relative deprivation that comes from comparing myself to others, and while others travel to Japan, I may enjoy indirect travel through YouTube in the corner of my room. In a way, even that could be a form of happiness and comfort.
However, if you get married, you may have to step down from the line that guaranteed at least some safety.
If I got off that rope, the future might seem bleak, and I might be hit by an unexpected headwind and be left in tatters.
“What on earth are you laughing so hard about? “Don’t laugh too much, be gentle.”
Hehe, Mom. What book are you going to read to me today?”
“Oh? That’s up to you. Moreover, from the beginning, they expected me to read the whole thing, which was a mistake. If you find it difficult to read on your own, they will help you. “Mom will read the book her mom wants.”
“Amazing!”
“Well, it’s going to be amazing.”
Nevertheless, I feel that way when I look at Ohana and Oseolhwa.
Even though they are not related by blood, looking at them who have become ‘family’, I can see how heart-warming and comforting it is to have a family.
“Ummuaaang, ummuang!”
“Hey, why is he like this! Where are you rubbing your face right now, really… !”
As I was staring blankly, I wanted to start a family as soon as possible.
My own, no, my family.
The size of the house doesn’t matter… No, since there are so many people, if it is too small, there will be limitations in sleeping together, so it should be a little bigger.
Still, it didn’t have to be a mansion where a nobleman could live.
If only I could stay with myself, the women I like, and the family they created… There will definitely be endless laughter in that space.
‘Because I am a very poor human being, it may suddenly snow or rain and wind in that warm space.’
Nevertheless.
I had a vague confidence that I could overcome the pouring snow and strong rain and wind for the sake of my family.
“It is the role of the head of the household to protect that.”
“… !”
“And that role also includes not worrying the family.”
As I watched Oh Cheol-ho talking while hitting me on the back of the head, it dawned on me for the first time that this person was more mature than me.
“…”
Suddenly, I wanted to see my dad in Busan.
Even though my heart is pounding like this, I am still scared of marriage and my worries about the future are suffocating. My dad got married at a much younger age than me, met my mom, and had a child with her… Because you raised me.
Now my dad is old, and I’m already the age I was when he got married, so I’ve become cocky.
So my dad was a little annoying, and I also thought he was too old-fashioned…
Now that I look at it, I didn’t think it was that pathetic. How could he think something like that about his parents? He was an amazing person who raised me and my younger sister wonderfully.
‘I really need to call you later… No, let’s come down and say hello before getting a job.’
When her mom came up to Seoul alone and saw me, she also saw that there were three girls, including her Ohana, by her side.
I thought I knew why she was so happy and cheered me on.
Her mother already knew. How great the joy of having a family was, but she couldn’t say it openly because her son would see it.
“Let’s go.”
“Okay.”
The steps I took leaving the house felt quite different from yesterday. It was a step for my woman, who was smiling happily behind me.
“Let’s go!”
As Oh Cheol-ho shouted while fiddling with the watch on his wrist, all of his subordinates who were waiting in advance repeated their names.
“Go!”
“The Chairman is leaving!”
“Everybody start your engines!”
Although it felt like they were going to kill someone, everyone here was going into the sauna together. I don’t think I’ll ever get used to this atmosphere.
“Get on.”
“Oh, yes.”
My heart was pounding for a moment.
I sat in the back seat next to Oh Cheol-ho, and although no one asked me to, I closed my legs and glanced at Oh Cheol-ho.
Even though I beat that person yesterday and won, why am I still in a weak position?
“Well, I have some time left on the way. If you have any questions, ask.”
“Yes? Oh, there’s nothing in particular…”
“If the boy has something to say, make it clear.”
“Ah, then maybe there was some other purpose in taking all those people to the sauna?”
“… ?”
A question mark appears above Oh Cheol-ho’s head.
Just by looking at that, you can see that Oh Cheol-ho has no other purpose.
“If you think that I am planning to give you a position and run the company instead of my son, wake up. Because that won’t happen. Even my son doesn’t expect that. If my son wants to become chairman, he will have to surpass me. He may already have the ability to do that, but his personality is very similar to his mother. Tsk.”
Although he clicked his tongue as if he was truly disappointed, a smile forms on Oh Cheol-ho’s lips as he leans outside the window, as if he is proud when he thinks of Oh Ha-nam.
Well, except for the fact that he is a sociopath and a ciscon gay, he is a very talented person.
Even now, when I think of what Oh Hanam said to me under the spotlight at night, my heart beats fast.
‘I kind of like this person.’
Damn.
If that child’s face resembled Oh Cheol-ho’s, I would never have thought this, but if she had received her mother’s excellent beauty genes,
Rather, it seems that men have more destructive power because they have faces like women. What can I say, it’s not that the bastard isn’t manly, but it’s even more so. The unknown that comes from that mystery… Damn it, stop thinking. Just thinking about that bastard in my head makes me feel like I’m being stopped.
“The reason you say that is probably because you met Chairman Han Se-ryong.”
“Well, you can’t say there is no impact at all, right?”
Oh Cheol-ho certainly has a great side, but the same goes for Han Se-ryong. Neither of them were the heads of huge groups for nothing.
“That person doesn’t like me, but he doesn’t particularly like me either. If he sees someone pretending to be good and righteous on the outside, he wants to hit them with his fist. If only that person were a little younger… !”
Boom, Oh Cheol-ho, who hit the car with his fist instead of Han Se-ryong’s face, growls.
I guess he really hates it so much?
“There is no person as selfish as that person. People are always pointing fingers at me for being selfish, but they don’t know anything! That person is truly a person without blood or tears. Indeed.”
Well, it feels more altruistic than selfish. Let’s not point it out.
If you hate something so much, you might end up wearing colored glasses. On the other hand, from Han Se-ryong’s point of view, when he sees Oh Cheol-ho, he might say that he is disgusted that such a young bastard is the head of a group.
Because everyone has their own position.
“In that sense, it’s not a big deal for me to take you and everyone to the sauna.”
“… ?”
“Just get to know the face.”
I couldn’t help but make a puzzled expression for this really trivial reason.
So, for that trivial reason, you made me stay at home, and then made all of those subordinates sleep in the garden as well?
‘I think I know why Han Se-ryong hates Oh Cheol-ho?’
Clearly, the two people had different tendencies.
This was a fact that could be seen just by looking at Han Ae Bom and Oh Hana. Ae-bom is a selfless woman, and Hana O-na is more inclined to do what her heart tells her to do. The two growl often as if they were natural enemies. In a way, it’s Ohana who usually loses… ?
‘Because altruistic people actually don’t fail often.’
However, the scary thing about Han Se-ryong was that he was a man who could sometimes move with his heart rather than his head. That’s terrifying.
“I don’t know if those bastards will look so ridiculous and insignificant just because you killed them all by yourself.”
I’ve never thought that way, but Oh Cheol-ho, who had his own thoughts, curls up the corner of his mouth and says.
“That’s life, that guy who doesn’t do anything can save your life.”
… Looking at this, Han Se-ryong and Oh Cheol-ho ultimately had something in common. Han Se-ryong and Oh Cheol-ho. Never think little of people who may not be that big of a deal.
The scope of what it embraces is a bit different, but that in itself is great.
“More than anything, I’m not the only one curious, right?”
“… Yes?”
“I said it yesterday. We don’t believe in words. Those bastards need to see with their own eyes just how great your dick is. Isn’t that right?”
“Yes, that’s right! President! If you don’t see how great that bastard’s dick is, you’ll be in trouble! “I can’t even sleep because I’m so unfair!”
That much?
“And, if it turns out your dick is shit. “Get ready for the second battle right there.”
“…”
Although I was surprised by the absolutely sincere warning, I quickly felt relieved.
“My father-in-law, don’t be surprised.”
After seeing my big guns.
“Huh,” I snorted, shaking my back for no reason. The person driving in front frowned.
After a while, the car stopped in front of the sauna.
Even then, the corners of my mouth were happily raised. So much so that Oh Cheol-ho, who was getting off next to me, inadvertently whetted his appetite.
