Chapter 40

* * *

Unfortunately, Chung Young-tak did not immediately accept the investment offer.

Jong-hyuk liked it more because of his cautious appearance.

But Jong-hyuk knew he would accept.

That’s what his hunch was shouting.

‘He’d put these guys back where they were.’

I don’t know anything else, but I know that they were entangled with JYK and did parenting entertainment.

Just as the captain comes in empty-handed when he goes out to sea, no matter how good they are, if the boss lacks the ability to hold the helm, he has no choice but to use porridge.

In that sense, Jeong Young-tak seemed to be a capable captain.

A good captain who can even serve as a sailor.

‘Maybe I’ll be more successful than in my previous life.’

Their success was money for Jong-hyuk.

That’s why I decided to invest such a large amount of investment.

“Yo, Bro. You’ve had a hard time with us today. But you don’t have to come now.”

“Hm?”

“I know you’re rich. Thank you, but it’s what we have to do. We’ll do it from now on.”

“Hey, why are you saying that to me, Jong-hyuk?”

Jung Hyuk is out. He glanced at the lawyer.

” Jong-hyuk아. What we want to say is…….”

“No, I understand enough. You’re worried about me.”

“Well, just the results. I’m not saying you’re burdened. You’re our savior. And…… family. Oh, can I think of that?”

Their cautious appearance shook the lips of Jong-hyuk.

It was bittersweet to see him try to fly up.

But it was so good to see that I laughed.

“Oh, it’s a family……my hands and feet are cringy!”

Jong-hyuk decided to stop fooling around with their visibly disappointed appearance.

“Yes, let’s be family, do it.”

“……WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”


“Ugh!”

Jong-hyuk patted them on the back.

And after a while, Jong-hyuk, who waved and gloated at the five bus riders, bowed his head to the lawyer.

“You did a great job today.”

“No, I’m not. I’m paid for it. And I saw a good performance.”

“Ha ha.”

While scratching his head out of embarrassment, Jong-hyuk soon changed his face.

Lawyer Hyun Seung-yup was also pleased to see Jong-hyuk, who sank coldly.

“Lawyer, I’d like to make a request.”

“…I think I know what you’re asking for. All right, I’ll do this for free.”

“What?”

“I heard you want to go to law school. Yeonhee University Law School is also very good.”

“I’d be happy if someone like this would be my junior.” Talents with outstanding wealth, personality, and brains.

He was greedy for Yeonhee University’s law school line.

“Well, then, take care of your client.”

Jong-hyuk stared blankly at him as he moved away and soon hardened his face.

His eyes shone violently.

“I’m glad you’re cooperating. Yeah, there’s no reason to let him be the enemy, as he thinks.”

Jeong Yeong-ju, who was greatly damaged, will be very determined.

This slave contract today will cuff his hands and no longer care about his brothers.

Jong-hyuk has now decided to stop paying attention to Jung Young-joo.

“So you’re the only one left, the iron-wire prosecutor?”

Jong-hyuk stepped off with a significant smile.

a late afternoon when the sun was dusk

Kang Hyun-seok, who will be in his third year of middle school this year, trudged along the alley and buried his face with his arms raised by the smell of oil coming from somewhere.

“It smells bad.”

Nigimi.

Curse flowed out of my mouth.

Still, I can laugh because of the black bag in my hand.

Not the smell of gasoline, but the smell of savory soybean oil.

Hyun-seok opened the side door of a large house at the end of the alley and headed to the second floor.

“I’m here.”

“Hey!”

“My lord!”

He threw a black bag at his younger siblings.

“I picked it up on my way here. Eat.”

Crunch!

“Wow! Fried food, tteokbokki, and sundae?”

“What is it? Whose birthday is it today?”

The 4th and 5th, who rush to the kitchen and bring a small table with a whimper, and the 2nd and 3rd, who cut the fried food with scissors.

Hyun-suk was emotional when he saw his younger brothers excited in a house that was still cold in late winter, wearing only underwear with holes in it.

“So good.”

The first thing I knew after I came to Seoul, hamburger, chicken, and pizza.

Chicken, not whole chicken.

It is also surprising that schools offer school meals, but Hyun-suk was shocked that sweet and sour pork was served as a side dish.

How about a T-shirt that costs tens of thousands won per sheet?

What’s the point of your father being a central prosecutor? You’re so pathetic.’

My mother also works at a restaurant, but her living is not getting better.

It’s because of the murderous price in Seoul.

Does 500 won for a bottle of coke make sense?’

“Older brother, wash up! It doesn’t taste good when it’s cold.”

“That’s enough. I’ve been living my life. Join the study.”

“But my lord bought it for me…….”

“Yay! Then the fried peppers are mine!”

“Hey, you prick! Don’t you have a word for it?”

Hyun-suk, who was pleased to see his younger brothers trying to fight, headed to the bathroom.

Ding dong! Ding dong!

“Who is it? No one’s coming. Don’t touch the fried peppers! It’ll be awesome!”

“Just, look at what Gashina’s saying!”

“Yes! Who are you? What?”

The third child’s head, who is in the fifth grade, turns toward Hyun-suk.

“Who’s the oldest brother? I’m looking for him.”

Hyun-suk blinked his eyes.

Taking over the intercom saying, “Who are you?” He soon left the house with his eyes wide open.

“Hey!”

He hurried down the stairs, leaving behind a third cry of surprise, and smiled brightly when he found a big young man.

“Sir!”

Jong-hyuk still raised his hand for the little Hyun-suk.

“Hey, how are you?”

Jong-hyuk smirked as he gasped at Hyun-suk how urgent he was.

Hyun-suk was relieved to see such Jong-hyuk.

You haven’t forgotten me!

Sadness soared.

“Do you know how much I found? The phone book doesn’t say your name, but I can’t give you your number even if I go to your school!”

Idol, Jong-hyuk.

As soon as I came to Seoul, I found Jong-hyuk first.

“Yeah, I heard you called your school. Do you know how surprised I was to hear that you went to school after a long time and came back to Seoul?”

“Did you?”

“That dialect is still the same.”

“What, what are you saying? I’m good at using Seoul dialect now!”

“Yeah, let’s say so.”

Hyun-suk’s dialect was not fixed until just before Jong-hyuk died.

“But what about your mother?”

“……I’ve gone to work.”

‘As expected.’

“More than that, wow, you couldn’t get in touch with me?”

“You were in the athletes’ village. And now it’s vacation.”

“Oh.”

As if he didn’t know it, Jong-hyuk, who shook Hyun-suk’s face, opened his mouth.

“But did you have dinner?”

“Dinner? I haven’t eaten yet.”

“Really? That’s great. I’ll buy you a meal, so let’s go with your younger brothers.”

“What?”

“They’re your brothers, aren’t they?”

Hyun-suk, who turned his head following Jong-hyuk’s fingertips, blushed when he found his younger brothers hanging from the railing and looking at him with twinkling eyes.

It was because of a perforated underwear.

I want to show you only the best.’

No matter how old you are, you’re only 16.

He was ashamed of his younger brothers.

But that was also for a while.

“Good morning! Honey pizza!”

“Oh, hello!”

Kang Hyun-suk, who is in his third year of middle school and 16 years old, shouted ‘Hello’ loudly at Honey Pizza.

* * *

“LOL.”

“Kikki, don’t be embarrassed at us. Are you embarrassing me?”

Jong-hyuk laughed, and so did his younger siblings.

“Ceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee…”

Jong-hyuk sees an employee holding back his laughter.

“Please bring me a pizza of bulgogi and a pizza of combination, and a side menu of all kinds. Coke and Sprite, too.”

When the employee who checked the order laughed, Jong-hyuk saw Hyun-suk.

“Why?”

“No, it’s getting too natural. You’ve been to a lot of places like this?”

Luxurious interior I’ve never seen before.

Among hamburgers, chicken, and pizza that I only heard from my friends, it was also Honey Pizza. There were only people dressed in good clothes like suits everywhere, so it was self-impaired.

“No, it’s the first time.”

I couldn’t eat pizza before the regression.

This is because they could hardly digest the wheat by taking out the stomach.

“Yeah? But how naturally…….”

“This place or the restaurant. It’s just a little luxurious, but it’s”

‘As expected of this gentleman!’ Something was different from the others. That’s why it looked brighter.

“How’s your school life? How’s your study going?”

“Oh, well.”

“My big brother, he’s good at studying music! You’re first in your class!”

“This gashina is useless.….”

“Wow? Did I say something I didn’t say?”

“Really? That’s great.”

“Sun, nothing compared to you. You won a gold medal and got fifth place in school.”

“No, just because I’m good doesn’t mean you’re bad. You did well enough, too.”

Whoosh!

Another joy from getting compliments from my parents.

As expected, this is my role model!’

Hyun-suk’s body is twisted.

“Go, thank you.”

“Any blockages? Can I help you if you want a tutor?”

“Oh, my God! I’ll take your time!”

“It’s because I’m proud of you. Studying hard even when you come to Seoul. Oh, by the way, how did you end up in Seoul? Don’t tell me it’s because of those thugs.….”

“It’s because of my father! My father is being sent to Seoul.”

“Father? Oh…What does your father do?”

“Yes, prosecutor! Seoul District Prosecutor’s Office prosecutor!”

“You gas! Don’t shut up!”

“Huh? Wow? I can’t tell you?”



Jong-hyuk became surprised.

“Oh, sir. I know one of the prosecutors there.”

“The prosecutor……!”

Hyun-suk quickly covered the third child’s mouth.

A prosecutor, but a shameful father.

I wanted to show only good things to Jong-hyuk.

Jong-hyuk hardened his face at such a response.

I see. Maybe this is why.’

The clothes of children who are both working and shabby.

There are these kinds of people in the police, too.

the kind who can’t turn a blind eye to the pitiable circumstances before them Inevitably the family suffers. Only then did Jong-hyuk understand why Hyun-suk hated his father so much.

‘It wasn’t because of his integrity and straightforward personality.’

To be honest, my father was disappointed.

“He, by the way, did you come to see me? That’s all you and I met at the fish market.”

Jong-hyuk shone his eyes.

“Did you have a sharp hunch at this time, too.

It was like Hyun-suk he remembered.

“I’m here because I’m amazed. The cute middle school student I met in Masan transferred to Seoul, and I was wondering if it was meant to be like this.”

“Cute…… I’m not cute.”

“How tall are you?”

“Ugh.”

The younger brothers always looked at Jong-hyuk as if he was amazed by his older brother, who was always scared and like a father.

Meanwhile, pizza came out.

“Thank you for the food!”

“Yeah, eat a lot.”

Jong-hyuk looked around and smiled warmly at Hyun-suk, who was surprised after eating pizza.

“Okay. Let’s eat well and grow a little taller, Hyunsuk.”

I like them all, but I’m short Hyunsuk.

Jong-hyuk wanted Hyun-suk to grow up quickly and do his part.

* * *

“Hey, you don’t have to do this.….”

Hyun-suk was nervous when he saw his younger brothers hugging big dolls, Lego cars, and others in their arms.

“It’s because they’re cute. I’m the only child, so I always wanted to have younger siblings. Hyunhee is the cutest.”

Jong-hyuk then pinched Hyun-hee’s cheek with one arm supporting her hips.

“Huh? Heee. Am I cute? Oppa, do you want me to marry you?”

Hyun-suk was shocked to see his third child smiling with his teeth missing.

‘Well, is that gas out?’

“Shall we? Do you want to marry Hyunhee?””

“Just wait ten years. I’ll be a pretty girl like my Sweetie Mi-jin. You can cheat until then. I’ll let you.”

With his eyes wide open, Jong-hyuk soon laughed his head off, and Hyun-suk covered his eyes with his brother’s cute appearance for the first time in his life.

“Hey, you gas! I told my mother to stop watching dramas!”

“Wow? You’re saying this at times like this, aren’t you?”

Jong-hyuk managed to hold back his laughter.

At that moment.

Waddling?

At 9 p.m., when the sun was completely down, someone walked in from the entrance of the alley, where only one dim streetlight was left.

“You’re making a lot of noise in the neighborhood.”

Hyun-suk, who turned his head in surprise, closed his eyes tightly.

Of all things!

“You’re back, Father.”

“Yeah. Did you eat? Next to me is Nu…….”

The steel wire that our eyes met hardened.

Jong-hyuk was embarrassed. I was really embarrassed.

Because this wasn’t the plan.

The plan was enough if the story about himself could be heard by Kang Chul-sun. At the same time, he was only trying to make Hyun-suk a perfect ally.

After an hour of equal time, Jong-hyuk put Hyun-hee down and scratched her cheek.

“This is a strange situation.”

The steel line’s eyes opened violently.

“No, I’m not? You know you crossed the line, right?”

I touched my family. Jong-hyuk crossed the line.

“I didn’t mean it, but I deeply apologize for the discourtesy. Please pretend you didn’t hear what I suggested.”

Jong-hyuk, who bowed his head, stroked Hyun-suk and Hyun-hee’s heads and passed the steel line.

Hyun-suk’s heart sank when he saw the back.

I don’t think I’ll ever see you again.

“Sun, sir!”

“Hey!”

The innocent sight shook the eyes of the steel line.

‘…a coincidence?’

He was more appalled by the children holding the toy in their arms.

Hyun-suk, the eldest son, grits his teeth and stares with resentment.

“Father, you’re my wife. I’m gonna have to say this.”

‘Don’t, you don’t know what’s going on.’

“It’s good to contribute to the country. Salary? It’s good to hand out all the juniors and victims. I don’t need a computer or a gamboy, and I can live in a miserable palace. But.”

“You…….”

“At least don’t take the laughter out of your father’s mouth. You ate pizza for the first time in your life. It’s really good.”

“If you don’t know what’s going on!”

“Father, do you remember when you bought Hyunhee a present?”

“…….”

“Dad, are you sure you’re my dad?”

Kang Chul-sun, shocked, opened her eyes and Hyun-suk grabbed the children who were looking around and went home.

“Let’s go! Come on!”

When the door closed, the steel wire touched the wall next to it.

“He, what did you think?”

I thought you’d know if you did something good.

I thought you’d understand if I didn’t tell you.

But it wasn’t.

Children who followed their eldest son.

He didn’t know what he’d been working so hard for.

The steel wire lifted the cell phone with trembling hands.

“Choi. Where are you now?”

* * *

“Well, as expected, I must have caused a stir.”

A cart bar with few people unlike before.

On a table with only carrot, cucumber, and fish cake soup, there is a bottle of soju half empty in a short period of time.

Hyunsuk must have burst it.’

They fought every time when they went to greet each other during the holidays before the regression.

Steel-sun didn’t like her son who became a cop.

Hyunsuk hates his father.

I felt a little heavy because something that didn’t explode before the regression exploded.

But it’s an opportunity.

“Let me ask you a question. Are you sure it’s not true?”

“I thought Hyun-suk was a single mother until now. But now I’m disappointed and annoyed.”

Jong-hyuk sat across from him.

Then, I emptied the rest of the soju at once.

Empty!?

Jong-hyuk’s eyes turned cold when he put down the soju bottle.

Flinch!

“Mr. Kang, shall I speak now? If I had known this situation beforehand, I wouldn’t have asked anyone like you to invest.”

‘This is my father’s fault.’ No matter how good the work is, there is no excuse for neglecting your family. How regretful Jong-hyuk himself was.

Kang Chul-sun was choked by the young man’s vitriol, but couldn’t speak. And I realized something else.

‘That was very kind of you.’

Kwon & Park Holdings, whose assets are entrusted by leading legal professionals. No matter how much they are prosecutors of the Seoul District Prosecutors’ Office and the Korea National University line, they do not need a single evaluation.

Still, his self-esteem, which he held until the end, was shattered, saying that I was going to become a star prosecutor and that Jong-hyuk was trying to catch the line of prosecutors at Hankuk University.

“That’s true. You can’t even keep a family. What kind of test is that?”

Steel wire ordered soju smirked.

Jong-hyuk’s eyes turned cold.

“Are you giving up?”

“I don’t give up. I have to hang on to it now.”

Children who will not be sick in the eyes cannot give up.

But it’s hard to give up helping people in need.

“Before that, let me ask you a question. Because of your father?”

It broke my pride. Why me of all of a sudden?

Father?

Jong-hyuk’s face hardened when his late father suddenly appeared.

“That’s right, dude. That’s the spirit of it?”

Jong-hyuk’s father who died chasing a felon but was not killed.

The criminal was released after only two years. It was clear that there was some connection.

Jong-hyuk is angry at it and trying to change the legal profession.

So that the police can catch the criminal entirely, that the prosecutor can ask for it without any ulterior motive, and that the judge can rule according to the law.

That’s why he is reaching out to a public prosecutor like Kang Chul-sun.

To be a clean legal profession from bottom to top.

At least I’m trying to keep it steady with the money.

“Wuyal ko, young man’s grudge is so deep.”

On the other hand, Jong-hyuk’s mind became complicated when his father, who he could not remember his revenge, came out.

“No…….”

“Okay, clean legal circles you’re trying to create, I’ll help you. Good dad, too. I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have misunderstood. I kicked my luck. I’m so sorry, but can you do that offer again?”

Jong-hyuk looked at the steel line with his shivering eyes.

It’s over, but it’s a little uncomfortable.
