Real Man

Chapter 282:

Chapter 282

Mother joined the line of ladies.

She called out to Yoo-hyun with her eyes reddened.

“Yoo-hyun.”

It seemed impossible to pass by quietly.

That evening.

Yoo-hyun faced his father.

The place was the same food cart where he had been with his father before.

The weather was cool and perfect for a drink outside.

His father poured liquor into his glass and said,

“Yoo-hyun, you did a great job.”

“Don’t say that, father.”

Yoo-hyun shook his head with a weary face.

He had been tormented by the ladies all afternoon.

“But you did well. Your mother was very grateful.”

“I just happened to help her.”

“Wasn’t it because of your mother’s shop?”

Yoo-hyun asked, hitting the nail on the head.

“How did you know?”

“Otherwise, you wouldn’t have gone there on the day the market closed.”

“I could have gone there by chance.”

“But you didn’t have to go inside.”

Yoo-hyun had no choice but to nod at his father’s logical words.

“Father, you are unbeatable.”

“You are the one who is unbeatable. Where did you get such courage?”

“Father, you told me to live as I please.”

Yoo-hyun smiled and offered his glass. His father smiled back.

Clank.

His father’s eyes were full of trust in Yoo-hyun as they clinked their glasses.

It was a different feeling from before.

Maybe that’s why?

As their glasses emptied, his father’s mouth became lighter.

At some point, he even talked about his own work.

“Father, how is your business now?”

“So you’ve been traveling a lot.”

“Yes. What do you think, Yoo-hyun?”

He even asked for Yoo-hyun’s advice.

That was something he never did before.

Yoo-hyun straightened his posture and said,

“I think it would be better to diversify your products than to expand your factory right away.”

“How so?”

“Well…”

Yoo-hyun didn’t know much about architecture.

But he knew how the trends would change in the future.

When Yoo-hyun finished his explanation, his father nodded.

“So eco-friendly, soundproofing, these two are important.”

“Yes. The supply of regular apartments will slow down for a while.”

“I see. You make sense.”

Yoo-hyun was amazed.

His father used to refuse his help until recently.

But now he reached out first.

“Father, let’s have another drink.”

“Sure. Thank you.”

“Thank you for what?”

He even thanked him.

They had already become much closer, but it felt like they got even closer.

Yoo-hyun liked that very much.

They had a pleasant drink and returned home.

His father leaned on Yoo-hyun and nodded off. His mother clicked her tongue as she saw him.

“Again, again, this guy drank too much.”

“He drank moderately today.”

Yoo-hyun smiled and defended him. His mother sighed.

She couldn’t say anything to her son Yoo-hyun.

“Oh well. Is that why he’s so rude?”

“He’s just tired.”

Yoo-hyun chuckled and laid his father down in his room.

When he came out, there was a table on the floor.

A pot of bean sprout soup was steaming hot.

“He’ll have a stomachache tomorrow. Have some soup and go to bed.”

“Yes. Thank you, mother.”

Yoo-hyun didn’t refuse and sat down. His mother smiled.

Then she casually said,

“Your father seemed very envious of you.”

“What do you mean?”

When Yoo-hyun blinked, his mother smiled and said,

“All your siblings are helping your mother.”

“Oh.”

“That guy has no shame.”

His mother laughed as if she remembered what his father had said.

Yoo-hyun then understood his father’s feelings better.

He always acted strong, but he was just a human being too.

“He asked me a lot of things.”

“Yeah. Don’t make him feel left out. Match his pace.”

“Yes. I understand.”

Yoo-hyun smiled and nodded.

He stayed at home for quite a long time.

He helped his mother’s shop, visited his father’s factory, and even stopped by Kim Hyun Soo’s busy shop.

He didn’t go inside and waste his time.

He was planning to meet other friends soon anyway.

He just walked around and enjoyed his leisure time.

Whewoong

The weather was cool and the wind was refreshing. It was perfect.

It was a peace he had never felt before.

A relaxing day passed and the sun began to set.

When he returned home, he sat on the floor with his mother and ate watermelon slices

Then, the front door of the yard opened

Han Jae Hee appeared with something in her hands.

“Mom, I’m home. Huh?”

“Why are you surprised?”

Yoo-hyun asked and Han Jae Hee avoided his gaze.

“Just.”

She said in a small voice and made a shy expression.

Then his mother asked incredulously.

“Yoo-hyun, what’s wrong with Jae Hee?”

“I don’t know.”

“Did she get dumped by a guy?”

His mother joked and Han Jae Hee flared up.

“No, I didn’t.”

She quickly handed over three paper bags and ran into her room.

Each paper bag had ‘Mom’, ‘Dad’, and ‘Brother’ written on the handle.

Yoo-hyun handed over the paper bag to his mother.

As his mother took out a box from the bag, she blinked.

“Huh?”

There was a logo of a luxury brand on the box.

At that moment, his mother’s hands moved faster.

She opened the box and gasped.

“Oh, oh my, she must be crazy.”

In front of her eyes was a luxurious handbag.

Yoo-hyun was also surprised.

In the box with ‘Brother’ written on the paper bag, there was a pair of designer shoes.

The estimated price was over a hundred thousand won.

“Yoo-hyun, you too?”

“Yes, mother. I think this is my gift.”

“Then what is this?”

His mother quickly checked the remaining paper bag.

There were two bottles of expensive liquor inside.

“She’s crazy, she’s crazy.”

She ran to Han Jae Hee’s room with the handbag still on her shoulder.

She knocked on the locked door and asked.

“Jae Hee, what is all this?”

“Just gifts.”

“Come out. Where did you get the money to buy these?”

“If you don’t like them, throw them away.”

Han Jae Hee said bluntly, and his mother looked at the handbag and trailed off.

“Well, not that…”

She seemed to like the handbag very much. She didn’t even tear off the plastic wrap.

Yoo-hyun approached his mother and said,

“Mother, I’ll talk to her later.”

“Alright. Oh dear, I hope she didn’t do anything bad.”

His mother spat out in a worried voice.

From inside the room, a sound was heard.

“Mom. I can hear everything.”

Then his mother whispered to Yoo-hyun with her hand over her mouth.

“She’s a bit rough, but she’s nice.”

She even said she was nice because of the handbag.

Yoo-hyun held back his laughter and said,

“Mother, don’t worry. She’s fine.”

“Do you know what’s going on, Yoo-hyun?”

“Yes. It’s a good thing, so don’t worry.”

His mother calmed down and left.

She still had the handbag on her shoulder.

A little later.

Yoo-hyun faced Han Jae Hee in her room.

On the small table were expensive liquor and fruits.

His mother had bought the fruits with a good mood.

Looking at them, Han Jae Hee said,

“It feels good to spend money.”

“Why did you spend so much?”

Yoo-hyun asked, and Han Jae Hee turned her gaze and muttered to herself.

“Brother told me to spend as much as I want.”

“Yeah. You did well.”

He chuckled and poured liquor into his sister’s glass.

“It’s been a while since we drank liquor together. Right?”

“It’s only the second time, what do you mean?”

Clank.

Han Jae Hee drank it in one shot after clinking glasses.

“Hey, don’t drink like that. You’ll pass out again.”

He tried to stop her, but it was too late.

“No. The first drink is always like that.”

“Haha. How come you never change?”

He laughed, and Han Jae Hee looked up at him.

She said in a serious voice,

“How come you changed so much?”

“What do you mean? You’re scary.”

“Just. Thanks to you…”

She stopped and looked embarrassed.

She filled her own glass with liquor.

Glug glug glug

“I’ll pour it myself.”

“That’s fine. Liquor is something you drink alone.”

She said and drank another glass right away.

“You’ll really go down if you keep doing that.”

“I don’t know about anything else, but I can drink well.”

“…”

He also emptied his glass and filled it again.

There was a brief silence between them.

He broke it first.

“I told you before, you earned it because you’re good.”

“I know my place.”

“No. You’re talented.”

“Hohoho.”

She laughed loudly at his words.

Then she drank again.

He tried to stop her, but she was too fast.

“Don’t drink so fast.”

Thud

She put down her glass and chuckled sarcastically,

“Apple bought that crappy thing for 200 million won. How does that make sense?”

“They have a lot of money.”

“I’m not stupid. How can this happen?”

“It happened because you did well.”

She waved her hand in the air and said,

“Han Sung offered me a scholarship, Apple bought my design.”

“…”

“I went to Germany, I made a phone.”

She rambled on with a flushed face from drinking.

He just listened quietly for a while.

Suddenly, she laughed loudly,

“Hahaha. Life is over, Han Jae Hee.”

She tried to drink another glass by herself, but he offered his glass to her,

“Let’s drink together.”

“With brother?”

“Who else would you drink with?”

“Hah. Yeah, right. I should listen to brother. I even got rice cakes in my sleep. Puhaha”

She suddenly grabbed her stomach and laughed.

He felt a chill from the sudden change.

He asked cautiously,

“Jae Hee, I think you’re drunk.”

“No. I’m just crazy.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“I’m crazy. Say what I said to others. They’ll call me a crazy bitch.”

He finally understood what his sister meant.
