112. not so good memory
“No, why the hell did you cover up this handsome face!”
The hair designer who brushed off the hair on my shoulders made a fuss while looking at my face in the mirror.
“I don’t have much time to go out.”
“Oops, waste, waste! Why is your skin so good there? What cosmetics do you use?”
“I only use skin lotion.”
“It was born. I was born! I should thank my parents.”
“Ah yes. Can I wash my hair now?”
“right.”
I gave a short answer to a topic I didn’t want to bring up, and then washed my hair in a hurry.
“Could you style it a bit more?”
“no. it’s okay.”
“I want to do it, yes. I won’t take any money! It’s service!”
“I’ll come and get it next time.”
“Oi, then do it. Ho ho ho.”
After paying the bills, I go outside and feel the fresh breeze tickling my neck.
The mood that had subsided at the lady’s words earlier also improves again.
“Next is the bank!”
I walked to a nearby bank.
Beep!
‘118,591,526 won.’
“ha… … .”
I check the balance at the online deposit and withdrawal machine, but the amount displayed on the screen is not very realistic.
My older sister said that her account was empty because she was buying a building, but even 100 million won was a huge amount for me.
It wasn’t all there. The gold in the Seon account was also an asset as long as it was taxed.
“I’m not sure how much… … .”
I don’t tend to pay separately, so I know that I have gathered that much only when my older sister shows me the balance.
“It’s fine though.”
Originally, I was thinking of getting a job in a capsule room or entering a factory. Because there was no such thing as technology to make money. But thanks to my older brother, I started Seion, and somehow I became a name that made thousands or even hundreds of millions of dollars a month.
“But there is nothing I really want to buy.”
I have a lot of money, but I don’t think ‘I want to buy something’. Most of the orphans are like this. The only thing rooted in my head is that I need to save it, so the desire to buy has almost been castrated. Someone buys a nice sports car, someone buys a luxury watch, and someone buys a house or land, but I don’t know if it’s a house or land, but I don’t really care about anything else. But it’s just that my heart doesn’t go, but my thoughts about money are always the same.
‘The more the better.’
I will never forget the words of the head of the orphanage. Money can’t buy perfect happiness, but if you have a lot of money, you can buy decent happiness. And most unhappiness can be solved with money, so if you make a lot of money and earn enough money, make a donation to the orphanage.
“For now, it’s only about 10 million won… … .”
I haven’t earned too much yet, but this should be fine. Because my sister said that donations are good for saving taxes. After transferring 10 million won to the orphanage support account, I left the bank with a much lighter heart.
“Because you did a good job. I hope you have some luck.”
I don’t really believe in God, but I want to believe that if you do good things, you will be blessed.
“I’m going to eat out after a while.”
I always crave something a bit expensive because I always eat home cooked food or delivery food.
There is a possibility of getting lost, but that’s because there is cell phone navigation.
It was a time when I was happily walking towards the restaurant.
“Oh, brother… … .”
Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice is heard from behind. There is no one in front of me, so I looked back and saw a woman I had never seen before. Dressed in a sky-blue mini dress, she was prettier than any woman I had ever seen. I grabbed the spirit of trying to run away at the moment and told her.
“Did you call me by any chance?”
Tears welled up in her eyes at my question, and she nodded her head. what… Did I know this beauty?
“Do you know me?”
“I missed you so much. Jung Hyun oppa.”
If it’s Junghyun, then my name is correct.
As I took a step closer, I stepped back involuntarily at the sweet scent that caught my eye.
“I’m sorry, but I don’t know who you are.”
“ah… … .”
I bowed my head as if I was disappointed with my words, and at that moment I felt sorry for her as if I had committed a huge sin. But you can’t say you remember what you don’t remember.
“Because I’m not very good at memorizing people. sorry.”
“No, that… there… That’s the fix. Soo-jeong Lee.”
“this… Correction?”
“yes. that was before… So about 8 years ago… brother… saved… … .”
“ah… … .”
For a moment, it felt as if I had been hit by cold water from the top of my head to my toes.
The throbbing and burning feeling quickly turns upside down.
I just remembered Soo-jeong Lee. I swore never to see you again… Master of memory!
“Correction?”
“Did you remember?”
“okay. A long time. Sujeong.”
At my words, Sujeong immediately brightened up and took another step closer. However, there is no longer the same thrilling scent as before.
“Stop, don’t come closer. It was nice. Good bye.”
I said hello and immediately turned around and ran at a quick pace.
“I-over there… … .”
Tak tok tok.
I heard the sound of running shoes following me, but I didn’t look back.
The faster you walk, the more distant the sound of your shoes. Aside from the forgotten nightmares filling my head with heat, my heart grew cold. actually… I wanted to look back at least once. very occasionally Because I really wanted to see you from time to time. Contrary to my thoughts, however, my legs moved faster.
That’s how I was passing through the alleys that were pierced along the side of the main street.
Booong! Buang!
The sound of a motorcycle can be heard through the complicated maze-like alleys that one has casually passed by.
The sound of the engine quickly approaching as you turn the throttle, probably in a hurry.
Having passed the alley, I turned around without realizing it. Sujeongi is still running. As he runs while looking at me to see if his shoes are uncomfortable, an ominous feeling crosses his mind. It was kind of a sixth sense. It fit quite well even when I was young, and for some reason after I started seion, that sixth sense that has become sharper is now alerting me to the danger. You shouldn’t hesitate.
“shit!”
When the sound of a motorbike approaching and the danger sign came into my mind, I ran towards Sujeongi without even thinking about it. Crystal stopped walking when I turned around. But, of course, that’s an alleyway.
Boaaaang!
beep! beep! Beep!
Motorbike horn sounds along with engine sound. It was only then that he realized the situation and turned his head, but it was already too late.
“Idiot!”
I just wrapped my body around Sujeongi and pushed him. Then something heavy came and hit me in the calf.
Pooh!
“Ouch!”
“Kyaaaagh!”
With Sujeongi’s scream, my body floated into the air. The body is pushed out by the shock of hitting the wheel of a motorcycle.
Perpuck! bang!
I rolled over with Sujeongi in my arms, and I was slammed into a telephone pole, and the speeding motorcycle I collided with swept the floor and rolled onto the road.
“Turn it off… … .”
My legs and back hurt so much. Sujeongi, who was held in her arms, was fortunately not seriously injured, but she is completely unconscious.
“Kuh, hey… it’s okay?”
Even if I shake it, I can’t come to my senses. It was time to try to get myself up somehow.
“miss!”
“Hey, get rid of this bastard quickly!”
A strong hand pushed me aside as if tossing me.
“Kuk!”
After rolling on the floor a couple of times and raising her upper body, two men in black suits and sunglasses surround her as if protecting her and call her name.
“Miss Crystal! miss!”
“Withdraw! Car fast! No, call an ambulance!”
The two picked up their phones while making a fuss, not paying attention to me or the collapsed courier.
“Yes! An accident happened. As for where this is!”
As I staggered up, something warm ran down my forehead.
When I wiped it with my hand, it was all red. I spent a huge amount of 20,000 won to get my hair done, but it’s a joke. kuh… Kkeuk… okay. It was like this even then.
Chunk-chunk-chunk!
I’m sorry! Kreureung!
“Sujeong! Run quickly!”
“Oh, brother! me… Everything, legs!”
“Go quickly! Fool!”
Wow!
“Ah!”
“brother! brother!”
“Ouch! Run away, you idiot!”
Unpleasant kaleidoscopes hit my brain one after another.
“Because of her, our Sujeongie ended up in such a dangerous place! This is why you shouldn’t make fun of things that don’t have parents!”
“Mom! That’s what I said I wanted to go see! Brother did nothing wrong!”
“What kind of brother are you! Secretary Jang, what are you doing! Soo-jeong won’t take you to the car fast! Hurry up and clean up that dirty thing!”
“brother! brother!”
It’s a memory I really don’t want to recall. I looked at Sujeong who had lost her mind and said.
“A sickly girl. I always get hurt when I get entangled with you.”
“what? You are this baby! What did you say to my lady just now?”
As if he had heard me, the sunglasses that had finished the phone call strode towards me, and no good words came out of my mouth, which was in the worst mood.
“Take that bitch and get out of here, you asshole.”
“This bastard!”
The guy swung his fist at me without hesitation. It’s an honest attack on the head.
My back and legs hurt as if they were going to break, but I’m not easy enough to be hit by something like this.
I took a step inside him and landed an uppercut.
Pooh!
“Ouch!”
A guy who gets hit right in the jaw is crumbling. In my mind, I want to hit the guy on the head one more time, but I can’t move because my stomach hurts because I’m moving roughly.
“That bastard!”
The guy who was attached to Sujeong untied his tie roughly and stood up. I’m in the worst condition, but it’s funny that there are two of them. you come too!
“Uncle Yunseok!”
“miss… You must not move now.”
My ears buzz and ring.
For a moment, Sujeongi’s voice sounded as if submerged in water. what… Why is my body like this
* * *
“Jung Hyun!”
The first thing I noticed after waking up was Sangdo hyung’s burdened face.
“Uh… please… Please refrain from eye terrorism!”
“You bastard!”
Sang-do’s pot lid-like fist trembles above my head. It exudes an aura of wanting to give it a hit. Why am I laughing when my whole body is aching?
“You laugh. Are you crazy?”
“Am I out of my mind?”
“okay.”
“how much?”
“half day”
“Okay, then I’ll figure it out.”
It would have been annoying to explain, but I’m glad you know.
“okay. About an hour ago, a bastard called a lawyer came and threw 10 million won for treatment. On the condition of keeping your mouth shut… under… fuck.”
“Did you get it?”
“Are you crazy? I was going to shove it into the snout of that bastard, but I put up with it.”
“Kup-kuk-kuk, well done. Aww… … .”
When the power goes into the stomach, the waist and abdomen are pulled without mercy. I’ve never been hurt like this before, so I’m really embarrassed.
“How much am I hurt?”
“They said that all the discs protruded and made my back suffer. What can I do? It’s a forced capsule line.”
“OMG… … .”
“It’s a joke, one cracked rib and a lot of injuries to the calf and back muscles, so it took at least two weeks for physical therapy to be hospitalized for a month.”
“If you are hospitalized, can’t you just do it in a capsule? It’s the same as lying down anyway.”
“Crazy bastard, there are a lot of people who got sick while doing that, so shut up and get treated.”
“Yes Yes.”
“Ugh.”
He sighed heavily and picked up his phone. My older brother said, pressing the screen as if sending a text message.
“I heard it, but you explain it properly. Why did you get hurt because you were with Okeum Keum from the dog-like giant group?”
Geosung Group, one of the 10 largest conglomerates in Korea. Sujeongi was the only real granddaughter of the group chairman.
“that is… … .”
I told my brother about what happened today.
After a while, after hearing my story, my older brother had a well-expected reaction.
“How do those fucking things do the same things they did back in the day?”
“after… right.”
I slowly retraced my old memories.
That was about 8 years ago. Once upon a time, Soo-jeong came to an orphanage with her parents. At the time, the nursery school held regular monthly sponsorship events, and I was invited as a donor. Sujeongi, who was bored thanks to her parents surrounded by reporters, somehow ended up hanging out with me.
“Your brother is handsome.”
“Oh, thank you. But who are you?”
“I am a fixer. Soo-jeong Lee.”
* * *
“Kyung-Kyung!”
“That’s the tiger’s dog, but it’s really dangerous. You can’t come close.”
“He looks just like our house, Polly, but she’s nice.”
“To be nice… That person also asked.”
“No no! Be nice!”
“No, you can’t go!”
As Sujeongi approached, the dog barked frantically and struggled, and eventually the stake to which it was tied was pulled out. At the time, I was bitten by a dog while protecting Sujeongi, but I was only freed from the dog’s teeth when adults came to Sujeongi’s cries. And what came back to me was her mother’s earnest voice that I still can’t forget.
“Because of her, our Sujeongie ended up in such a dangerous place! This is why you shouldn’t make fun of things that don’t have parents!”
“Mom! That’s what I said I wanted to go see! Brother did nothing wrong!”
“What kind of brother are you! Secretary Jang, what are you doing! Soo-jung won’t take you to the car quickly!”
I still have deep scars from that time on my arms. No, a bigger wound in his chest is still bleeding.
“But were you in touch with him?”
“What kind of nonsense are you talking about?”
“Then how can I find you? I don’t think we met by chance.”
“I don’t know. I was also surprised to see you suddenly.”
“what? Can you watch?”
I can’t help but scratch my cheek at my brother’s question.
I also don’t understand how Sujeong was there at that time.
“Huh, I don’t know.”
Now is the time to worry only about what has happened. To think that he was injured and laid down at the most important time.
Seion’s case continues even without the user. If the user does not log in, the relationship with the NPCs may deteriorate and the social status they have may disappear. In all honesty, if Baron Carmerson invades and takes Fodina while I am lying down, my knighthood as well as my status as a baron could be lost.
“It has to get better soon.”
