“Real Man” Episode 11.
The awkward atmosphere continued, but the surrounding noise made even the appearance natural.
In fact, I knew well that there was an invisible wall in front of me.
It was a wall he built that pointed an arrow of resentment at his father for the miserable reality.
I want to break it right away, but I’m careful because I can get away from it.
I had to wait for my father to open the door to his heart.
This was not a meeting with a buyer who had to produce results within an hour.
It is a difficult task, but it seemed to have taken the first step properly.
They made a place for themselves and added alcohol.
At times like this, drinking alcohol in silence will serve as a magic key as time goes by.
Yoo Hyun believed so.
Yoo Hyun, who held a bottle of alcohol, tilted his hand toward his father’s empty cup.
“Take a drink.”
“…….”
In a row.
The father handed over the glass without a word, and Yoo-hyun also silently handed over the glass.
One or two glasses were emptied and bottles were piled up one by one.
My father’s cheeks also turned red as if he was drunk.
Yoo-hyun, who drank a glass at once, looked at his father.
He certainly looked smaller than his father, whom he remembered as a child.
However, it does not look like Yoo-hyun’s father, who faced Mirae, put down his life.
There was still a gun in my eyes.
Stable breathing and facial expression, upper body tilted toward Yoo Hyun, and arms and legs that are moderately wide.
Yoo Hyun opened his mouth, feeling the wall that had been torn down to some extent from his father’s changed posture.
“Father.”
“Why?”
It was when my father raised his head at Yoohyeon’s words.
A middle-aged man with a good appearance, who looked his father’s age, approached and talked to him.
“Oops, President Han. Han.Why are you sitting here?Who else is this young friend?”
“Son.”
“Oh, I have such a wonderful son.Nice to meet you. I’m Kang Dong-ho.”
“I’m Han Yoo-hyun.”
Seeing his father, who looked sour but didn’t push him away, he seemed to be quite close.
When Yoo-hyun stood up and tried to hold hands, the middle-aged man tapped Yoo-hyun on the shoulder and sat down.
“Oops, what’s happening?Sit down. Sit down.”
“No, but…….”
Kang Dong-ho put his hand on his father’s back and told Yoo Hyun.
“You said Yoohyeon, right?” You have such a wonderful father.Do you know that?”
“CEO Kang, you’re too drunk.”
“No, no, Mr. Han.Shouldn’t you tell me how wonderful your father is?Don’t you think so?”
“That’s right.”
“Actually…”
When Yoo-hyun nodded, Kang Dong-ho talked about his father excitedly.
It was mainly about my father personality.
If his father hadn’t stopped him, he would have settled down and talked for even an hour.
Eventually, he left after paying the bill.
“He’s a little talkative.”
“It looks good.”
“…….”
My father handed over the glass without saying a word to Yoo Hyun’s compliment.
Why do you have to give it to all of us?What? It’s hard for us, too.Why are you taking care of others first when you’re about to go out and die? You have to take care of your family first!
This is because the anger I heard from my son after the bankruptcy was still poking my heart.
They even distributed money to employees who lost their jobs to sell the factory site.
As a result, it was the family that actually suffered damage.
I was always so sorry about that.
“Father, have a drink.”
“Yes.”
In a row.
Yoo-hyun guessed what he was thinking by looking at his father’s dark complexion.
I don’t remember everything exactly, but in the past, Yoo-hyun said a lot of cold words that hurt his father.
In particular, he could not hold back his anger after hearing rumors that he had given everything to his employees.
He pushed his father, saying, “Why do we have to live like a pushover?”
But now I know.
My father has people left, but I know heartily that no one remains for me who succeeded.
After all, it was the father who succeeded in life, not himself.
The heart came out in words.
“I’m sorry, Dad.”
“What do you mean?”
“Just because I was ugly, I said something hurtful to my father.”
In a row.
Hearing Yoo Hyun’s words, the father filled his son’s glass with a slightly shaky hand.
“I’m sorry.I’m so bad at it’s….”
“Don’t say that.It’s all my fault.”
“No, I….”
“I…”
Both of them kept blaming themselves for their mistakes, perhaps because they were a little drunk.
A smile suddenly appeared on the lips of the two people who were constantly talking.
Chaeng.
The glass also crashed.
“Congratulations on passing the document.”
“I’ll get the congratulations after I get really accepted.”
“Dude.”
A casual conversation was also exchanged naturally.
Alcohol certainly worked to open people’s minds.
Before I knew it, a sincere conversation began, and my father’s story, which began with memories of the past, continued to the present.
“Don’t worry. I think I’m going to get an order for a pretty big deal recently.”
“That’s great, really.Thank you for your hard work.Now, in that sense, a drink.”
When Yoo Hyun raised his glass, his father smiled and raised his glass.
“Yes, the factory will definitely revive if we win the prize construction case.”
Chaeng.
It was when the glass hit.
For a moment, there was a word that flashed through Yoo-hyun’s head.
“Construction of Woosang?”
“That’s right. A large-scale apartment complex is coming into our area from Woosang this time.”
“Yes……”
Yoo-hyun, who was glossing over his words, organized his thoughts.
Come to think of it, Woosang Construction was preparing to build a large-scale complex near Yoo Hyun’s school.
In Yoohyeon’s memory, it was also a place that went bankrupt and mass-produced damage.
I wondered if my father also suffered the damage.
‘Then it makes sense.’
I didn’t remember my father coming back to the factory.
If the damage caused by the bankruptcy of Woosang Construction collapsed his father’s dream of reviving the factory, it makes sense.
Perhaps because of Yoo-hyun’s serious expression, his father put down his glass.
Yoo-hyun said it first again this time.
“So it’s not yet contracted, is it?””
“What’s wrong with you?”
Yoo-hyun could not answer his father’s question honestly.
I can’t say I saw it in the future.’
But I can’t just force you.
However, it is not something to be quietly overlooked.
It had to be stopped unconditionally.
Yoo Hyun, who organized his thoughts, slowly opened his mouth.
“Just because. Woosang Construction is building a house at my school, and there was some gossip.”
“What?”
“I’ve been working here and there, but the financial situation is bad, so the company is in danger.”
“I don’t think so.It’s a big company.”
My father shook his head at once.
Of course, I have no choice but to think like a father.
Currently, Woosang Construction was a major construction company in the top five.
Yoo-hyun never stepped back.
“What happens if Woosang Construction fails after signing a contract?”
“Dude.”
“I just want to know if it’s right.”
If you sign a proper contract, it may not be a big problem even if you fail.
If you would have received a down payment, and the remaining quantity is not fixed, you can deal with it in a different way.
The problem was when the contract was signed as if it were coming down conventionally.
I was late to answer whether the latter was the contract that my father was considering.
In addition, I was cautious as if I remembered the old stupa.
I could well guess just by looking at his darkened face at once.
“It will be damaged…”…I don’t know more about this.”
“Yes, there’s no harm in being careful.”
“Yes, let’s have a drink.”
“All right.”
Chaeng.
After the glass hit, Yoo Hyun naturally changed the subject.
Since then, it was because he thought it was his father’s
If it doesn’t work, you can check it later and cut in again.
The conversation again led to Yoo-hyun’s company story.
The five empty bottles on the table told us that it was about time to be torn up.
Yoo-hyun carefully revealed his true feelings.
“Father, how should I live in the future?”
“What do you mean to a guy who failed?”
“I’d like to hear it, father.”
Yoo-hyun lowered his head in a serious posture, and his father drank a drink.
Then he slowly opened his mouth.
Yoo-hyun, this father may look ugly, but he still hasn’t changed his mind.”
“Yes, Father.”
“Life is not about living alone.We live together.It’s not about money or success, but you have to live with people.”
Money, it’s not success, you have to live with people.
For a moment, my father’s advice in the past and my current teaching intersected.
At that time, my father refuted what he knew, but now it is different.
It was something I really wanted to hear again and it would be a milestone in my new life.
Yoo Hyun opened his mouth with all his heart and soul.
“I’ll make sure to keep that in mind.Thank you, Father.”
“Dude.”
Father tapped Yoo-hyun on the shoulder without saying a word.
There was a smile of satisfaction on his face.
That’s it for today.
Yoo-hyun smiled brightly for the first time.
During his stay in his hometown, Yoo Hyun went around many places.
I went to the car center where Kim Hyun-soo works, and ate at Kang Joon-ki’s school.
He also gave advice to Ha Joon-seok, who was preparing to get a job together.
It was only natural that Ha Joon-seok, who was listening quietly, said something as if he were incredible.
“You talk like an interviewer.”
“Hey, of course you have to prepare this much.”
“Would you like it?”
“Remember that.”
“Yes.”
Ha Jun-seok answered reluctantly.
Still, I just want it to stay in my head.
Of course, it took a lot of time to meet the eye level, but it was also fun.
I realized once again that human relationships also need effort.
I stopped by my mother’s side dish store once and had a company dinner with people I worked with at my father’s factory.
As Yoo Hyun approached more, his awkward family relationship recovered in proportion.
We always ate together in the morning and evening and talked until we went to bed.
The time to watch TV has disappeared, and as the time to face each other has increased, the time to smile naturally has also increased.
My sister was the first to go to school far away in the countryside.
When I returned home from the test, I was surprised to see my family sitting in the living room talking about things.
“What? Why is the atmosphere so good?””
“It was nice without you.”
“Chi, you are.I’m hurt.”
“Oh, my daughter.Come on, sit down.Hohohohohoh.”
I pretended to be sulky playfully, but I recognized it at a glance.
My sister couldn’t hate the warm atmosphere of the family she hadn’t seen in a long time.
After I came back, I called in my usual spare time.
Naturally, her gaze at Yoo-hyun has also become more friendly than before.
All these changes were made in less than two weeks.
“It’s so easy.”
Yoo-hyun was deeply moved.
I felt the happiness I couldn’t feel when I ran forward to die through meetings with people around me.
It’s time for Yoo Hyun to go up again.
Perhaps because of the breakup with my son, my mother’s eyes became teary.
“Oh, my. I’m so disappointed.”
“Mother, I’ll make sure to call you.”
“Go up well.”
This time, the father said with a big smile.
It was this.
Yoo Hyun bowed his head with joy.
“My father is healthy, too.You know that health is the most important thing, right?”
“Go, boy. You’ll be late.”
Yoo Hyun got on the bus, leaving his mother waving brightly and his smiling father behind.
