As I lived my life, I realized that living hard does not mean being economically relaxed.

“Please lend me 10 million won. Because this time, I’m really sure. Don’t you believe Dad?”

“father. How many times have you never paid back the money you borrowed?”

“What about between parent and child? You raised and fed them until now. And if I hit the jackpot this time, I’ll pay back everything in multiples.”

My mother passed away, and I lived alone with my father.

Drinking, gambling, fighting.

To put it mildly, my father who lived as a lucky man.

The only good thing about my father, who only came in at dawn, was that he didn’t hit me.

I am a person who lives thinking only of what I want to do.

He had no interest in children.

Whether there is no rice or no money at home.

I had to deal with it on my own or starve myself.

‘I must never live like my father.’

In order not to be like my father, I studied hard while attending middle and high school, and worked part-time while attending university.

Effort, effort, effort.

If you starve because the house is out of rice, you can’t be lazy.

It took a lot of work to make a penny.

“There’s a freshman meeting, let’s go.”

“sorry. I have a part-time job.”

Starting as a freshman, he started working part-time to earn tuition.

I saw students in the same department when they were working part-time at internet cafes or pubs after lectures.

When I met them, I exchanged awkward glances, but I quickly ignored them.

‘If I have the money to drink with you guys, I’ll be able to pay for two weeks’ living expenses.’

10,000 won happiness.

Buy a sausage, slice it thin, and eat it for two or three days.

When I was desperate to buy some meat, I bought the hind leg flesh during a sale and grilled it.

When you eat a little piece of flesh, the feeling of being healed just by putting the meat in your mouth.

‘The world is a place worth living in.’

Even if you don’t have money, it’s okay if you don’t live comparing yourself to others.

I was able to enjoy romance.

Being alone is boring, but solitude and loneliness are not diseases.

“Student, I will give you a lot.”

“yes?”

“His hind legs are tough, but I’ll take care of them.”

I wonder if the ajummas easily noticed what kind of situation they were in just by looking at them.

A pair of tattered jeans worn throughout spring, summer, fall, and winter while attending college.

It may have been because he was wearing a thin autumn jumper that had faded even in the middle of winter.

Thanks to that, I was able to receive even a few dozen grams of meat, so it was a benefit.

“hey. Making money is good, but there is such a thing as romance in college life. There will be a meeting in the future, yes. If you don’t know something, let me know, and when you go out in society, pull me back, huh?”

“Yes. Seniors.”

I nodded when my seniors in the department said something, but turned around and ignored it.

It’s hard to make a living right now, but what does a senior-junior relationship mean?

After finishing the first grade like that, he became a true ass after going to the army.

It’s like the freedom of a returning student that no one will talk to easily if left alone.

Take classes alone, work and earn money.

Even then, I looked down on the existence of a father too much.

“God. My father is hungry, but can you give me 200,000 won?”

200,000 won.

An amount equal to the cost of transportation plus the cost of clothes worn throughout the year.

I readily gave it to my father when he said he was hungry.

As I found out later, I went to the casino and blew all the money.

“This time, we are having a meeting, and it will be my turn to receive it soon. Just give me 500,000 won. I’ll pay you back with 700,000 won in two months.”

“Grandma is ill. I don’t have enough hospitalization money right now, so please help me.”

“You know, but my dad has bad teeth. I think I need to get an implant, but someone I know has agreed to do it for me cheaply. How could it not be?”

There was a being that ate the liver of a flea.

Working part-time, he collected money and poured it out to his father several times.

I had to quit, but I was ripped off here and there.

Since I’ve been with my dad since I was little, it was the result of not being able to turn a blind eye because I was the only one in my family.

And this time, he even asked to borrow 10 million won.

It made me think that I had been living as a hogu for quite some time.

There are people who make money, and there are people who spend it.

If money is collected, it is taken for various reasons, and I am fed up with what I have suffered.

“What are you trying to do with 10 million won?”

“I have to make money.”

“Money? Will you do business? Or gamble again… … .”

“I’m not going to go to the casino and blow it. come to my senses This time, I’m investing with a solid source. I will also apply for membership in your name.”

“Sign up? I’m not trying to sign up for anything strange under my name.”

“There is a coin, and I want to invest in it. I have a lot of debt, so I can’t invest in my name.”

There was money saved up to raise the deposit for a one-room apartment.

Even though I knew I was being tricked, I decided to give my father one last chance.

I intend to change my cell phone number if I ask for another loan this time.

And about six months later, the police contacted me.

“Are you Shin Kim? This is the Namyangju Police Station.”

“What is it?”

The phone call I received while working part-time at an ice cream shop.

Intuitively, I thought it was related to my father. Otherwise, there would be no contact from the police station.

“There was a big traffic accident, and Kim Seong-tae passed away at the scene.”

“Yes?”

“I was driving my motorcycle and I got into an accident because I skidded in the rain.”

father’s death.

It wasn’t a car crash, it was a solo accident in the rain.

It was the only family left, but at that moment, I felt both sad and freed from the shackles.

“You must be having a lot of trouble doing a big job.”

“Thank you for coming on purpose, sir.”

“okay. Get some rest and come out slowly.”

Store employees who work part-time came to the funeral.

On the contrary, my father’s acquaintances came early and had a drink.

“Howdy. we are here again god.”

The person who drank until dawn came around noon and drank again.

He seemed to treat his father’s funeral home as a place where he could get free drinks.

“I’m sorry to say this at the funeral, but my father borrowed money from me.”

There were not a few people who introduced themselves as debtors.

He must have borrowed a lot of money because he was very fond of gambling and drinking.

I shook my head.

“I also borrowed a lot of money from my father. But I don’t think I’ll be able to get it since he died.”

“no. You are still a child, so you have to pay it back.”

“I wonder if my father is also my father who has never properly prepared a warm meal. And, of course, I will give up the inheritance.”

“Abandon inheritance?”

“yes. That my father had no money left. You can clearly guess.”

“shit.”

There was no such thing as my father’s credit, so I borrowed from many places, but the amount was not large.

I had a funeral like that, graduated from college and worked hard at the company.

Living alone was comfortable.

I was able to make a lot of savings while going to work, and I had several hobbies.

Play mobile games without paying or watch travel videos on YouTube.

Even after becoming an office worker, I have never been to a ski resort because I have a beggarly spirit embedded in my bones.

“Assistant Kim, I have work in Daejeon.”

“sure. I have to go.”

I work in Seoul, but local business trips are always welcome.

I stay at a hotel in Daejeon and go to restaurants in my free time.

Take a warm bath in Yuseong Onsen.

Corporate cards have magical powers.

‘It’s a really good world to live in if you have money.’

It’s a pity that I couldn’t enjoy such a good world in my teens and 20s.

It was a life earned through hard work.

‘I did well to live hard. It’s a reward anyway.’

Then I became friendly with a female employee in the company’s support department.

I run into them because of work, and I help them with their work. As a result, we had a lot of time to meet.

“Brother, do you want to date us?”

“really?”

We got married after 6 months of dating, but the joy of having a family was short-lived.

We got divorced after a year of marriage due to the severe personality differences that I didn’t know before living together and the disregard of my mother-in-law’s family.

“Life is so… … .”

A semi-basement room filled with moisture all year round.

I left to get married and came back in just a year, so how absurd the owner’s grandmother must have been.

I opened a bottle of soju in my room, enduring my lack of money.

I drank it a few times while going to work, but it didn’t suit my taste.

“Big.”

Homemade tofu kimchi and soju.

Jijiri trembled and drank one glass at a time.

It’s sad that I got divorced and left alone in the world, but what can I do because it’s already happened.

I had a wall in my heart.

Beware, doubt.

It wasn’t a personality that could easily embrace the opponent, and she was very annoyed even over trivial things.

The time together was hell, so I thought it was rather fortunate that we broke up early.

‘It’s not bad to live alone. They say you’ll be lonely when you’re in your 50s, but living quietly without leaving anything behind in the world.’

Enjoy loneliness and solitude.

In other words, I was able to live freely without being restrained anywhere.

Sleep, eat, and rest when you want.

Learn new hobbies, watch YouTube videos.

Then, suddenly, I remembered a few years ago.

10 million won that my father borrowed.

I forgot about it because I never took the money and never came back.

After my father passed away, I was busy managing my graduation grades, getting a job, and working at work.

To be honest, I didn’t want to remember what happened back then, so I forgot about it for a long time.

“I would have signed up with my name… … .”

I tried to access the foreign site again, following my memory.

“The site still exists.”

It was about 6 years ago, so it was fortunate that it hadn’t collapsed in the meantime.

I entered my ID and password, and if there was any remaining money among the 10 million won, I tried to withdraw it again.

“… … what’s this?”

There were too many numbers printed on the monitor, so I couldn’t see them all at once.

It was Bitcoin that I bought six years ago for less than $2 each.

They are now over $5,000 each, and have been on an upward trend since the beginning of the year.

A whopping 2,500x profit.

It was an astronomical amount that I had never even thought about.

“Oh My God.”

The moment I saw the appraisal amount, my body shuddered.

The drunkenness from drinking half a bottle of soju was gone in an instant.

I immediately locked the door, closed the windows and drew the curtains. Then I checked my computer again.

“You’re right. What my father bought was Bitcoin.”

There was no trust in my father because he spent so much money on all sorts of things. I didn’t even remember it properly, but it grew to such a huge amount.

‘This is a financial asset.’

The reason I worked part-time and went to college was to earn labor income.

He had to earn as much as he sweated in order to survive.

How many company seniors or work officials talked about the importance of investment while going to work?

“The apartment I bought this time went up over 300 million won.”

“Did you buy it with a charter?”

“yes. That will increase your yield.”

Often investing in apartments.

“My father owns land in Gyeonggi-do. Just because Pangyo is getting bigger… … .”

“Are you up?”

“They said it went up three times this time.”

“Should I sell it?”

“What are you doing? If you just hold on to it, it will go up several times more.”

I heard a conversation about investing in land.

It felt like a story from another world, and I thought about buying blue chip stocks when I had some spare time.

However, the coin my father bought has now increased 2,500 times.

They say even a broken clock is right twice a day.

It was an incredible return even in a volatile stock market.
