People came up in small groups with their families or lovers, wearing hats and simple clothes, but there were hardly any people coming up in suits.
Choi Hye-na decided to go up to Palgakjeong early and wait for Kim Cheol-soo.
However, since it was my first time going there, I couldn’t bring my car, so I went down a bit, parked in the public parking lot, and went back up.
People passed by the lights that were turned on here and there in the early morning, and Choi Hye-na also walked, shivering from the cold.
Then, I saw Kim Cheol-soo running behind the student who was busily running up the stairs, carrying a middle-aged woman with gray hair on his back.
Choi Hye-na was startled and turned around.
“How can you defeat me? It’s impossible, it’s impossible!”
“If you get overconfident, your brother will catch up with you!”
“Cheolsu! Stop dropping off your mom. You’re having a hard time.”
However, Kim Cheol-soo ran up the stairs as if he did not see Choi Hye-na, and she stopped walking while looking at the back of Kim Cheol-soo running up.
The person who was carrying Kim Cheol-soo was his mother, and the high school student running ahead of him looked like his younger brother.
When I was young, it was so amazing to see the scenes I had seen in books and dramas in front of my eyes.
When she was young, people who were working, not her family, would help her.
If you needed something, everyone who was paid would do it.
Climbing a mountain alone is difficult, but how difficult would it be for Kim Cheol-soo to carry his mother like that without any compensation?
Why do you bring such a difficult situation on yourself?
‘As expected, he’s a strange person.’
If you climb a mountain alone and get hurt, would there be anyone who would endure such hardship and carry you on your back?
father?
Youngest brother?
They will spend money to send someone, but no one will carry them and run like that.
If that person is by your side.
‘He’ll carry me.’
I can understand this feeling of heart trembling.
Choi Hye-na began to move quickly again after stopping.
**
Around 8 o’clock.
Handfuls of red light erupted out.
The light pushed out the thick darkness and laid a red carpet.
After stepping on the red carpet from the black horizon, the sun slightly raised its head.
“It rises!”
People who were chatting about various things stopped talking and looked away when someone shouted.
Although the sun rises every day, the sun on New Year’s Day had deep meaning for everyone.
Jin-Suk Yoon, Cheol-Soo Kim, and Young-Soo Kim. Choi Hye-na too.
I made a wish while looking at the New Year’s sun.
After a while, people began to come down from the octagonal pavilion, and Kim Cheol-soo turned around with his family and saw Choi Hye-na standing right behind them.
“president?”
When Cheolsu, surprised, called out, Hye-na Choi also pretended to be surprised.
“Huh? Cheolsu?”
“Aren’t you going to Naksan?”
“I woke up late and couldn’t go. But while I was thinking about where to go, I remembered Cheolsu’s story.”
“Ah. But you came alone?”
In response to Kim Cheol-soo’s question, Choi Hye-na smiled bitterly and nodded.
“Yes. That’s right.”
“Cheolsu, who are you?”
Yoon Jin-suk, who brought the water, looked at Choi Hye-na and asked.
“Oh, I’m the owner of a cafe near my office.”
“Ah. Hello. I am Cheolsu’s mother.”
As Yoon Jin-sook slightly bowed her head, Choi Hye-na also bowed her head and said.
“Hello. My name is Choi Hye-na.”
After returning from the military, Cheolsu seemed to have built up a wall around women, but he was able to meet such a pretty and kind woman!
Jinsook Yoon thought as she watched Cheolsu retreat.
‘So you refused everything even when asked to show it?’
Hye-na Choi exchanged a few words with Jin-sook Yoon and then looked at Yeong-su, who was standing awkwardly, and asked.
“Are you Cheolsu’s younger brother?”
“Yes. This is my younger brother. What are you doing? Without introducing me?”
As Cheolsu picked up Yeongsu, Yeongsu bowed his head solemnly.
“Hello. My name is Youngsu Kim.”
“You look like a high school student?”
“Yes. I will be a second year student this year.”
“You look like you’ll study well.”
At those words, Yeongsu smiled and nodded, and Choi Hye-na also burst into laughter.
“You have an honest younger brother, Cheolsu.”
“Take a good look. You might end up becoming a great person later.”
“Really? I need to keep an eye on it, right?”
Yeongsu seemed embarrassed by those words and hid behind Yoon Jinsook.
“Boss, are you going to come down now?”
“Oh, yes. That’s right.”

Hye-na nodded her head regretfully at Cheol-su’s question, but Jin-sook Yoon, who was watching from the side, joined their conversation.
“If you’re not busy, let’s eat kimbap together.”
“yes?”
Choi Hye-na glanced at me.
“It’s homemade kimbap, and it’s going to taste really good. I made a lot of it, but I thought it might get boring if I left it. Do you want to eat some?”
Kim Cheol-soo quietly looked at Choi Hye-na, who was looking at him and trying to figure out what to do.
Unlike people wearing sweats and a jumper, he had his makeup done properly and, seeing as he was wearing a suit, he woke up quite early.
It’s strange to meet by chance in such a large crowd.
‘Did you come here on purpose?’
Kim Cheol-soo smiled while looking at Choi Hye-na.
“My mother’s kimbap is really delicious. If you try it, you might want to eat it again. Let’s have a quick breakfast and then go down together.”
“may I?”
“sure.”
Choi Hye-na smiled brightly.
**
“I think the camaraderie between families is great.”
“Did it look like that?”
“Yes. Just looking at it made you smile, didn’t it?”
After eating simple kimbap together, Hye-na Choi bought lunch as a token of gratitude.
I tried to break up after lunch, but Jinsook Yoon insisted that I take the boss to her, so I came with her towards the Blue House.
We chatted there and had dinner together.
“What is Hye-na’s family like?”
When Kim Cheol-soo asked, Choi Hye-na frowned slightly as if she didn’t want to think about it, then relaxed it.
“They’re cold. They’re very private. They avoid touching each other as much as possible. They don’t really like to interfere in each other’s areas of life. But they’re very rich. They live without any worries.”
“Really? I envy such a rich environment?”
“Hmm. If I had 25,000 won in pocket money every week, I would be envious.”
As Kim Cheol-soo smiled and raised his drink, Choi Hye-na also smiled and raised her drink.
“You don’t know anything, boss, but things will get a lot better for me this year.”
“Oh, really? Well, you make quite a lot at Blue House, right?”
“Yes. Thanks to the boss.”
“Is that so? Then shouldn’t you be thanking me?”
“Oh, you can’t do that. If it weren’t for me, Blue House might have suffered a loss, right?”
“Surely there will be a loss without Cheolsu?”
“Huh? Then shall we take a look?”
When Cheolsu threatened, Hye-na put down her drink and said,
“Then, shall we make a bet?”
Kim Cheol-soo said as he poured alcohol into Choi Hye-na’s empty glass.
“A bet? Good. It worked out well. I’m going on a business trip for about 10 days starting January 10th.”
“Huh? Really?”
“Yes. Actually, I was going to bring that up.”
Choi Hye-na gulped down her full glass with a sullen expression, as if she was disappointed.
“Wow, you’re bringing up the story in such a pretentious way. Okay. I’m in the black and Cheolsu is in the red, right?”
“No, then…”
“Hehe. What’s wrong with the man? It’s a huge deal! It’s hard to say without saying a word, right?”
At those words, Kim Cheol-soo burst out laughing and nodded.
“great.”
“So what should we bet on?”
“hmm.”
As Kim Cheol-soo was worried, Choi Hye-na quickly spoke up.
“How about the loser grant the winner’s wish?”
“Is this too broad?”
“Are you going to do it or not?”
Kim Cheol-soo couldn’t help but nod at Choi Hye-na’s words, whose tongue was curled as if she was slightly drunk.
“Then let’s do it.”
“Good. No softness.”
“of course.”
Choi Hye-na stretched out her hand.
“Now! Put a stamp on it.”
“yes?”
“Didn’t you do it during your school days? Putting a stamp on it.”
At those words, Kim Cheol-soo had no choice but to hook his little finger around her little finger and bump his thumbs together.
“Okay! The bet is settled.”
When the bottle of soju was empty, Choi Hye-na stood up.
“Cheolsu, you’re going to work tomorrow, right?”
“yes.”
“Let’s just drink this. If I drink any more, I think I’ll lose my temper.”
Kim Cheol-soo quickly caught her as she stumbled and looked like she was about to fall.
“thank you.”
After paying and coming out, Choi Hye-na seemed to be in a good mood and waved at Kim Cheol-soo.
“See you then.”
“Are you okay?”
“Of course. It’s not so bad that I can’t even go home.”
“I’ll take you there.”
At Kim Cheol-soo’s words, Choi Hye-na stumbled and made a straight face.
“Not yet! Not now. Then, bye. I often go home after drinking this much, so don’t worry.”
At those words, Kim Cheol-soo looked at her for a while and then waved his hand, and Choi Hye-na turned and walked away.
‘That’s stupid. ‘Let me ask you one more time.’
Why do you need that pocket watch?
Kiev, the capital of Ukraine.
Population: 2.93 million.
A place where Slavic traditional buildings and modern buildings are in harmony.
An eerie wooden statue of a ballerina stood in a residential alley in Sophia Square, and in a deserted area, a woman wearing a hoodie was surrounded by three men.
“Jabi. I’m not doing well this week. So, will you pay off my debt?”
“I’m trying.”
“I need to work harder. In this case, the interest will increase more than the amount I repay.”
After independence from the Soviet Union, as was the case in almost all Eastern European countries, the mafia and thugs were rampant, and the same was true in Kiev, Ukraine.
Zaviya frowned and bit his lip.
Zabiya, who was a pickpocket by profession, thought that if he worked hard to earn money, he would soon get out of debt.
Unlike the Gypsy families who denied the institutional system itself and were obsessed with religion, Zavia loved the civilization that made up this city.
I was forced to receive hospital treatment by my father, who refused to receive it, and as a result, I had to borrow money I could not afford.
It would have been fortunate if the outcome had been good, but her father chose to kill himself while receiving hospital treatment, claiming that his soul was contaminated, and she was abandoned by her gypsy family and became alone.
All she was left with was a debt that was too much to bear.
“It’s better not to think about running away. There are a lot of eyes watching you on the streets. If next week doesn’t go well, you’ll have to prepare yourself. Think carefully.”
After scaring Javiya, the men leisurely left the alley, and Javiya stood in the dark, watching the darkness before moving.
