“Real Man” Episode 6.

It was as Cho Eun-ah said.

When I entered the department building, I couldn’t see any students greeting Yoo Hyun warmly.

He’s a junior in the same department, so he’s silent.

I didn’t expect it, but it was even more so when I checked it myself.

In Hyundai was not a famous school for humanities, although engineering was acceptable.

In addition, since it is not in the Seoul area, the school ranking has fallen.

The number of students in the Department of In-Hyundai Business Administration who joined Hansung was one of the highest.

Naturally, there was no senior to receive help when Yoo Hyun thought about it at the time.

However, Yoo-hyun, who only studied hard, will not take care of his juniors.

Running forward without taking care of the people around him.

It’s like seeing Yoo Hyun at work.

It wasn’t in the right direction.’

I thought it was the best at the time, but in retrospect it wasn’t.

I should have hung out with more people, not hung up on immediate employment.

In the meantime, I should have learned to take care of people naturally.

Also, I should have broadened my horizons.

Don’t just work.’

I wanted to change it right away, but it was exam period and I didn’t have much contact with people in the department.

I had no choice but to wrap it up with a more welcoming greeting.

Yoo-hyun, who came out of the department building, sat on the school bench.

Students in different clothes passed by in front of Yoo Hyun.

Sitting still like this and looking at people, I saw a specific pattern.

Small movements and actions gave Yoo Hyun living information like a traffic light.

Suddenly, I wonder what it would have been like to continue studying psychology.

He was not a scholar, but he would not have achieved much.

Since he was not a person who took care of others, his role as a counselor would not have been good.

“But I think I’m cut out for my work at the company.”

a smirk of laughter

While sitting like that and thinking about other things, someone called Yoo-hyun.

“Hello, Steve.”

“…….”

He was a tall foreigner with blue eyes.

“What are you doing here? Is there anyone waiting?”

He was definitely pointing at Yoohyeon.

The name Steve was Yoo Hyun’s English name used by the company.

Did he use the name Steve since then?

I knew his face, but I couldn’t tell who he was.

I don’t know.

Yoo-hyun naturally replied with a greeting in English.

“Hello. I’m just looking at people passing by.This is a great place to relax and kill time.”

“Oh, why did you improve your English so much?”

“Ah… You got better after working hard.”

“That’s amazing. If you look at the vocabulary and pronunciation, you can think of it as a local.How can you do this?”

It makes me laugh.

He completed his MBA course at Stanford University in the United States.

What if you can’t speak English?

It’s a funny thing.

I remembered who it was after a little conversation.

His name is James.

As expected, he was an English instructor.

I remember trying to keep up with him even after the course was over.

Thanks to this, we became close enough to have such a pleasant conversation and play billiards together.

‘I haven’t even met the people in the department…….’

The reason for meeting James was clear.

That he’s a helpful person.

In other words, it was a perfect textbook to study English conversation without spending money.

Judging from the conversation with him, Yoo Hyun was able to laugh and talk enough at this time.

I was just trying to cover people.

“Sighing.”

Yoo-hyun, who sighed inside, reached out his hand, organizing his conversation with James.

“James, I had a lot of fun.”

“You’re welcome. See you next time, Steve.”

James tilted his head as if even the handshake was unexpected and left with a smile.

We had a pleasant conversation, but Yoo-hyun’s mouth felt bitter.

This is because I remembered the time when I struggled to move forward somehow.

I drew a line with those who take only those who need it and think it is unnecessary.

These actions have made the relationship even more fragmentary.

Eventually, there was not a single person left who was truly with me.

“How the hell did you buy it?”

Yoo Hyun murmured while looking at the setting sun.

I didn’t want to go back on the same bus.

This is because I feel like the same routine will be repeated.

Instead, Yoo Hyun walked to take a different route.

It was a time when maps could not be checked by cell phones or other electronic devices.

I just walk as my feet touch.

I did something inefficient, but I felt new maybe because I did something I didn’t do.

That’s a lot.

Now my knees don’t hurt even if I walk for a long time.

Surely a young body is different.

Thump, thump, thump.

I looked around at the noisy noise and found construction everywhere.

It was a large-scale apartment sale that developed a fairly large site.

Information on apartment sales was posted throughout the road.

Woosang Construction? The name sounds familiar…….’

Certainly not a major construction company.

I’ve never seen it in Seoul, so it could have been ruined later.

“Oh…… right. Idol!”

What I thought was right.

Large-scale sales fraud caused the company to go bankrupt and caused hundreds of billions of damage.

Seeing that it still lingers in my mind, it became quite big news.

I heard that there were quite a few people who were damaged among those who knew because it was around their hometown.

I’ll look into it properly.Stupid people.’

I think I had this similar idea at the time.

Because it was not directly related.

“Hold on.”

When I think about it, knowing the future was definitely useful.

This is because we can avoid these mines.

It was 20 years ago, so even though I can’t remember clearly, I went up to the president of Hansung Electronics.

At least I know the relationship with China, Japan, and the United States.

In addition, information on large cycle-oriented economic trends, exchange rates and raw material movements, and future growth industries was useful in mind.

Even if we couldn’t film the rise and fall of stocks and real estate like ghosts, we could make a big bet.

Just investing in stocks right now…….’

This part was clearly remembered because I was a beginner in society who was looking around.

This is because there were many seniors who shed tears through fund or stock investment.

You can aim for a fall now or buy stocks in case it goes up later.

One way is to buy real estate and raise buildings at an appropriate time with the money earned like that.

No, I could make a lot of money for sure if I used overseas stocks.

Twenty years later, the information about the world’s most successful companies was in my head.

In particular, investing in venture investment companies that become unicorns could easily earn hundreds of times.

Buying cryptocurrency is one way.

Thoughts bite the tail.

Before I knew it, I couldn’t see the surrounding scenery and just thought about money.

The appearance was not much different from the future Yoo Hyun.

Yoo Hyun, who suddenly thought of it, shook hia head vigorously.

“No, no, no.”

He must have already forgotten that he promised so much that his life was a no deal, only for success and money.

This is why people do not change.

Money?

I have earned enough to earn.

He lived well without envy.

But there was nothing left.

Even if I had money, I didn’t know how to spend it properly.

Rather, I became more picky about people because of money.

A life given again.

This time I never wanted to live a money-seeking life.

Of course, if the time really needed came, I could make money.

But even then, the goal had to be people, not money.

“People over money.”

It was also a word that my father left before.

I decided to live a different life, and I decided to be different.

In order to do so, Yoo Hyun thought that even small actions should be implemented.

“Ask how you are to your loved ones every day.”

It is an act that was not done before under the pretext of not being able to afford it.

I gradually moved away from my mind because I didn’t meet him because I was busy at work.

I just needed to make a phone call, but I couldn’t do that easy thing.

Yoo-hyun, who took a breath, held his cell phone in his hand.

First, I called my mother.

“Yes, Mother.I just called.Yes, mother’s side dishes were so good.Thank you so much.No, it’s

– That… – Yeah.

Is it because my son’s friendly voice is so unfamiliar?

I felt awkward with my mother’s answer.

“…Yes, I’ll be down tomorrow, Mother.I miss you.I’ll hang up.”

I’ll be waiting.

However, as the words continued, the voice over the phone became brighter.

I didn’t face her, but she must be smiling.

I laughed for no reason.

It was my father’s turn next.

It was obvious that he would be embarrassed if he answered the phone.

This is because we were not good at calling each other.

The list of calls with his father, who is not much left on his cell phone, showed that Yoo-hyun’s memory is correct.

Let’s go.

The tone rang and my father’s blunt answer came.

The voice that I didn’t want to face before felt warm.

What’s going on?

“Father, I’m going down tomorrow.”

Tomorrow?

“Oh, are you busy?”

Yoo Hyun’s words were answered by his father.

– I’m busy, but…… Come here first.

“Then I’ll go down and see you tomorrow.I miss you…”

Stop.

The call ended before the friendly Yoo-hyun’s voice ended.

Yoo-hyun didn’t think his father was avoiding him on purpose.

It must be that you are not used to talking on the phone with your son yet.

If I go down this time, I decided to improve my relationship with my father.

Yoo-hyun called his friends after his sister.

Kim Hyun-soo, Kang Jun-ki, and Ha Jun-seok.

These three are hometown friends who have been close since elementary school, and they are friends who helped Yoo-hyun when he was in trouble.

There were so many memories together.

I thought we’d always be together when we grew up.

Yoo-hyun called one after another, recalling his childhood memories.

The common answer for all three was ‘What’s wrong with you?’

It was supposed to be.

After being discharged from the military, Yoo Hyun would have concentrated on studying and had fewer meetings.

Seeing that there was not a single call record, it seemed that he hardly made a phone call.

But friends must be friends.

They teased Yoo-hyun’s awkward tone like an old man, and laughed at his intended few jokes.

Memories were buried even in trivial conversations.

Yoo-hyun consciously tried to speak more comfortably, although the young voices kept feeling awkward.

“Yes, I’m buying.Only the body comes.”

Really? You? Did you win the lottery?

It seems very interesting that he called in person and even bought alcohol.

It’s funny to see him surprised as if he had promised.

If I went down like that, I ended the call with an appointment to see my face.

I didn’t see it because I was studying, but after I entered the company, I didn’t have time to see more.

Friends who died and couldn’t live slowly moved away like that.

It was regrettable afterwards.

I didn’t know that the old saying that life was successful with just three true friends was not wrong at all.

“You know it now.”

Yeah, I know now.

Relationships that I thought were natural like family and friends are the most precious.

Now I knew that the closer I was, the more I had to take care of it.

Yoo-hyun is now officially done with his work.

Since I finished my library work, I don’t have to go to school unless I’m going to get my diploma.

In the past, I would have been in the middle of preparing for an interview with Hansung Electronics, but I don’t have to do that now.

I think I’ve already become a CEO.

I was confident that I would know more about my experience, years, and company work than interviewers.

I also had a lot of interviewer experience, so I was confident that I could cope well in any situation.

More than that.

“What will you do after joining Hansung?”

This was more of a dilemma.

Yoo Hyun boarded the bus, recalling the scenery of the funeral hall of Kwon Se-jung in the same period.
