chapter 6
Episode 6
“Are you here?”
“Please contact me.”
“·······”
Of course, I could have contacted them first before coming down to my hometown.
But if you think differently, you could come to your hometown without contacting me.
Normally, it would be a problem that could be overlooked, but now even such trivial things bothered me.
“Minjun, it would have been nice if you had come down in the car together.”
“that’s right. You don’t have to pay for the bus fare.”
The eldest son, Park Min-hyeok, and the eldest daughter, Park Mi-ae, said a word each, and it hurt Min-jun’s heart.
It wasn’t even that Minjun had to contact him first.
The eldest son, Park Min-hyuk, and the eldest daughter, Park Mi-ae, could have contacted and picked up and come down to their hometown, but they did not.
It was just pretending to give it for nothing.
If Minjun had contacted him first, he would have ignored it or gone back to his hometown.
Because it had happened several times before.
However, when going up to Seoul, the eldest son, Park Min-hyuk, or the eldest daughter, Park Mi-ae, was given a ride in the car, but it was not free.
I had to refill the oil in the car.
Rather, taking an intercity bus is more convenient and saves money.
If it wasn’t for that, I wouldn’t even give them a ride when I went up to Seoul.
It could be said that they were parents and siblings who were worse than others.
Because I grew up watching it, Min-jun’s younger brother Park Min-su and younger sister Park Hyeon-hee in high school quietly ignored Min-joon.
It was such a discriminatory treatment that went beyond common sense, so even when I came back to my hometown, I didn’t feel good.
At least, since I was trying to do at least the duty of a child, I had to endure it and come back to my hometown.
In the past, I thought I was going to do that, but today I saw all of those trivial things.
‘Um, I’ll have to look at the situation a bit more, but if it continues like this, I’ll have to cut off the family relationship.’
Anyway, since Minjun had lived with a little help to live in a one-room apartment in Seoul, his resident registration naturally fell off and was registered as a new one.
According to the family register, it was a family, but it did not mean much.
Sizzle!
They were grilling the frozen pork belly that Minjun had bought and eating lettuce, green peppers, and ssam vegetables from the garden.
As expected, parents and siblings were discriminating against each other at the table.
Minjun felt like he was the only one being bullied.
The eldest son, Park Min-hyeok, and the eldest daughter, Park Mi-ae, packed lettuce wraps and fed them to their parents.
And since the parents also ate it, they wrapped it in wraps and put it in their mouths.
Parents also wrapped up lettuce wraps and put them in their mouths for Park Min-soo, his younger brother in high school, and Park Hyeon-hee, his younger sister in high school.
It wasn’t that she had a child through an affair, or that she had remarried after giving birth to Min-joon.
They weren’t half siblings either.
No matter how much Minjun thought about it, there was no reason to be discriminated against like this.
That’s why I couldn’t understand it any more.
‘Um, I’ve prepared an imperial bank account with 390 million won and an envelope with 1 million won in it, but I don’t think I need to take them out.’
Min-joon is completely heartbroken after being discriminated against today.
Still, since they are parents and siblings, at least their hearts were open.
I did, but as I was eating, I realized that Minjun was completely mistaken.
‘Uhm, but since they’re family, parents, and siblings, I tried to share luck or blessings with the money I had, but I was foolish.’
Minjun quietly ate the rice and frozen pork belly without saying anything.
Normally, he would say a few words, but today Minjun didn’t say anything, so the parents and siblings felt something was wrong.
“Minjoon, what’s wrong?”
“No, no.”
“Are you going to sleep?”
“no. You have to go up.”
“It’s still late, are you going to sleep?”
“no. I’m going to eat and go right away.”
“·······”
“·······”
Unlike the usual Minjun, his tone was calm and very cold.
Even when I came down to my hometown, I tried to forget the discrimination and sorrow I had suffered.
I did, but when I came back, it wasn’t.
I was going to sleep overnight and go up to Seoul, but I changed my mind.
It wasn’t long before I ate the rice.
Minjun went straight to the bathroom without eating fruit or dessert, brushed his teeth, washed his face, and came out.
The eldest son, Park Min-hyuk, was standing there.
“What are you doing?”
“No, there is not.”
“Then why are you acting differently than usual?”
“How am I different from usual?”
“Are you talking back to me now?”
“Oh, are you trying to pretend to be the eldest son to me?”
“This child?”
“Can you fight me and win?”
“·······”
Although they are of similar height and physique, the eldest son Park Min-hyeok fought with Min-joon and failed to win.
Minjun is introverted and gentle, but once he gets angry, he is really ruthless.
That’s why his friends didn’t carelessly touch Minjun.
Minjun passed by the eldest son, Park Minhyuk, and came out to the floor.
I put on my sneakers and said hello to my parents.
“Now let’s go up to Seoul.”
“Mmm, stubbornness.”
“I get it.”
Minjun looked at his parents and four siblings slowly, then turned around and opened the gate and went out.
It felt like I would never see them again.
“Something is strange.”
“A cold wind blew.”
Min-joon did not say anything to his parents or his four siblings about cutting ties.
But in my heart, I completely cut off the relationship.
I wouldn’t come back home without looking back.
I had 200 billion in cash and watch time that no one had, so I decided to live a changed life in the future.
“Huh, it was rather good. Parents and 4 siblings who are worse off than not having them.”
Park Min-soo, his senior high school younger brother, and Park Hyeon-hee, his younger sister in high school, came out of the gate and looked at Min-jun as he was walking towards the bus stop.
“Brother, don’t you feel a bit strange?”
“okay. It was different than usual.”
“I think Min-joon oppa is angry.”
“I guess so. Since he is an incompetent older brother, he will soon come to reach out to his mother and father.”
Min-Jun’s family didn’t worry too much when Min-Jun just ate and left.
He never returned to his hometown again and cut ties with his family.
I thought it was wise not to drive a car in a fancy suit.
I arrived at the bus stop, waited for a while, and then the bus came and stopped.
I took a bus and went out to downtown Yangpyeong.
Then, although it wasn’t until the last train, I took an intercity bus to Seoul.
Time passed and it was almost midnight.
I went into a 24-hour bone hangover soup house located near Gangnam Station, ordered bone hangover soup, and sat down.
Eolgali Goetjeori and cabbage kimchi were served as side dishes.
It’s a pretty famous place, so there were a lot of customers.
“Hmm, this place is much more comfortable and nice than my hometown.”
Sometimes I couldn’t believe that I lived in the Dogok-dong Tower Vivaldi Apartment in Dogok-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul.
It was very spacious and nice for Minjun to live alone in 84 pyeong room 4502.
I bought it for 4.5 billion won and moved in, but it was not a waste of money at all.
“The bone hangover soup came out. bon appetite.”
“Yes, thank you.”
Boiling broth and seaweed bloomed.
While it cooled down a bit, I ate it with rice, eolgalgi, and cabbage kimchi.
There was not much rice left, so I ordered one more rice and wrapped it in bone hangover soup and ate it.
“mmm, it’s really delicious.”
It’s quite a famous place, and when I ate it, I thought I knew why there were many customers.
Soon after, I ate two bowls of rice and bone hangover soup, got up, paid the bill, and went out.
There was a vending machine, so I put in a bill and pulled out a coffee drink.
It was because I thought a coffee drink would be better even if I paid a little more than drinking coffee from a vending machine.
I stared blankly at the cars driving down the road while drinking my coffee.
“It tastes better if you drink it after a meal.”
I finished drinking and tossed the can in the trash.
He walked out onto the sidewalk and waved.
“taxi!”
I stopped a passing taxi and took it to the Dogok-dong Tower Vivaldi Apartment.
I used to alternate cars every day for driving practice.
I did, but I did not drive a car to go down to my hometown in Yangpyeong, Gyeonggi-do, but took an intercity bus.
I changed the bus again and moved to the front of my hometown, and it was very inconvenient.
When the taxi stopped at the entrance, I opened the car door and Minjun got out.
As I approached the entrance, I greeted the night watchman as I made eye contact.
“hello.”
“Yes, are you late today?”
“Yes, it just happened that way. take care.”
“Yes, please go in.”
giggling!
When I took the access card, the door opened.
Without a resident’s access card, it was not possible to enter without permission.
Minjun went inside and took the elevator up.
Back!
I pressed the button on the fully automatic coffee machine.
Then, the beans in the barrel were ground, and soon the coffee beans poured into the mug.
The fully automatic coffee machine purchased this time was the highest quality product in Italy and cost 35 million won.
They were managed and inspected once a month, and they were able to select a variety of beans.
It was a device worth the price.
I couldn’t have imagined it before, but now Min-joon has such a luxury.
Swoop!
He held up a mug containing Ethiopian Yirgacheffe coffee beans, smelled the aroma of the coffee, and nodded his head.
I didn’t know much about coffee beans yet, but I did know some.
“Mmm, coffee smells really good.”
Ethiopia Yirgacheffe coffee beans are the most expensive and top-notch, so the aroma and taste are different.
Even Min-joon, who didn’t know much about coffee beans, could tell them apart.
I cautiously moved to the living room window.
The window of the living room was made of a huge glass window called a panoramic window.
It was thick and shock-resistant, so I didn’t have to worry about it breaking unless I was attacked with a gun.
Anyway, thanks to the panoramic window, it was nice to be able to look down at the city scenery outside the window.
“I like it because the view is so good. I am so glad I chose this place.”
Located in Dogok-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, the Dogok-dong Tower Vivaldi Apartment is on the 50th floor, 45th floor, 84 pyeong, in Unit 4502, Minjun. It was very spacious and nice to live alone.
I bought it for 4.5 billion won and moved in, but it was not a waste of money at all.
It’s been less than a month since I’ve moved in and have been living there, but I like it.
I went to my hometown in Yangpyeong, Gyeonggi-do a few days ago, and I was completely disappointed.
Still, since they are parents and siblings, the lucky lottery winnings are huge, so I thought that I should give and live, but it was Min-jun’s own misunderstanding.
Discrimination was still severe, and even basic treatment could not be received.
He hid the 1st prize in the lucky lottery and prepared the 3rd prize money, that is, an Imperial Bank bankbook containing 390 million won after taxes and an envelope containing 1 million won in cash.
I did, but when I received severe discrimination like bullying, I didn’t want to take it out.
“I was wondering if it would be okay now, but it hasn’t changed.”
He had just taken out a package of 5 kg of frozen pork belly purchased at a large mart, grilled it, and returned to Seoul.
I didn’t say anything because I was completely disappointed in my parents and four siblings.
However, in my heart, I was determined to completely sever ties with my parents and four siblings.
Most of the living in room 301 on the 3rd floor of the Sky One Room has already been abandoned and tidied up, and now we have moved to a new residence.
Yesterday, I went out in a black Mercedes E-Class, went shopping at the best department store in Gangnam, and destroyed my old smartphone and bought a new one with the highest price.
Of course, I boldly threw away the number I was using and opened with a new number.
“Umm, what should I do with my life from now on?”
Standing by the window in the living room, drinking Ethiopian Yirgacheffe coffee brewed with a new 35 million won coffee machine, looking out the window and immersed in my own worries.
