049. year end and new year

– It’s boxing. It’s clear whether you’ve learned boxing for the first time because of the staff or if you’ve already learned it.

– Boxing is a possibility. What about Carly Arnis? If you are a man, you should also learn this knife technique.

– No, nothing like that, tennis or something! tennis! tennis!

– Let’s go to jiu-jitsu like this. Mixed martial arts is also Jiu-Jitsu.

– No, what kind of human weapon is there to make? Let’s go dance!

– How about driving?

– What driving?

– I mean racing. going around the racing track.

– How about acting? I think I’ll do well as an actor.

– How about that? Copy a scene from a movie.

– why? Do you do stunts too?

– Five? Are you okay? stunt action.

“Great. The reaction is awesome.”

When the video he had planned hit the jackpot on You Tube, Um Kang-seok couldn’t stop shrugging his shoulders.

Because the number of views is going up. On the second day of uploading, the number of views has already exceeded 700,000, so it’s literally awesome for a first video.

In addition, statistics showed that the age group watching the video was also very young.

“Yes. Overall, there are a lot of comments, and the reaction is quite young.”

“Isn’t it? Hey, does this work?”

Go Ye-rim also looked at Um Kang-seok as if he was curious. actually what At first, Um Kang-seok was a foolish image.

Because the first image was of her foot in a half-cast in the emergency room at night.

Even after that, should I say that he is the type who cares about risks while usually making a fuss or expressing opposite opinions in conversations with Song Jae-ik?

Of course, in recent years, it has decreased significantly.

“Are you on vacation for a week from tomorrow?”

Suddenly, Jae-Ik Song checked the calendar and saw the Challenge Everything Factory holiday date painted red on the calendar.

“No. Not tomorrow, but one week from the day after tomorrow.”

“Really? Yerim, what are you going to do on vacation?”

“That’s right. A weeklong vacation. I thought there would be no vacation in my life since I started school. I think I’ll probably spend it at home with my parents. I haven’t met properly since I’ve been working.”

“Is there any need to be impatient?

The atmosphere at the Challenge Everything Factory, which is leaving 2019, was tranquility itself.

“It’s a new year soon. January 1st.”

“That’s right. New Year. 2020. Next year, you and I will be 26 years old.”

“It’s disgusting. You don’t have to emphasize it that much.”

“You’ve been crazy. This year?”

“That’s right. It was the most stormy year of my life. Who would have thought that I would come all the way here while eating red pepper paste stew?”

“Poo-hw. That’s why. It’s crazy. It was definitely a hobby.”

“Don’t lie. That look in your eyes that day was absolutely not a hobby. It was a look aimed at coming all the way here.”

A year at the age of 25 seemed like a really hectic year. While getting the ring, I suddenly started NuTube, played the piano, and did a duet with Jeongyeon.

Then I fell in love with pianist Lee Jong-woo and got lessons on the piano.

I also made animations. From Jeongyeon’s animation music video to full-length animation. In addition, three awards at the Busan International Film Festival are a bonus.

In addition, he saved a group called Seraphim from the brink of dissolution and made a song. It won the grand prize in a web novel contest and is cruising.

He helped produce a drama and even launched a webtoon, which hit the jackpot.

All of this for 1 year. No, to be precise, it started on New Year’s Day, so it happened to me in 10 months.

Seeing them listed, it’s surprising.

“Anyway, everyone is going home, right?”

“That’s right. I have to go home after a long time. I’ll brag to my parents that I got a job.”

“Me too! I want to brag to my mom that I got a good job.”

At that, Song Jae-ik smiled heartily.

I’m glad that at least Kang-seok Um and Ye-rim Go seem to think that this isn’t a bad job.

“Let’s all go shopping for tea together tomorrow.”

“Tea? Do you buy our car too?”

“I’m trying to get one for work. Does Yerim know how to drive?”

“Of course. Best driver!”

“Oh right. Jaeik, I brought the car catalog on the desk. Along with the estimate.”

Instantly recalling the catalog and estimate he had seen in the morning, Jaeik looked at Kangseok with a puzzled expression.

“I saw. The RVs and sedans I mentioned. But what’s the last one?”

“Did you see?”

“Didn’t you bring it to see?”

One that Um Kang-seok put among various vehicle catalogs and quotes.

“You crazy bastard, what is this Ferrari?”

“That? Your dream car.”

You remember watching the Ford v Ferrari movie that was released a while ago and saying that if you are a man, it is not a red Ferrari.

But wasn’t Ford the main character of the movie?

—

“Thank you!

One domestic full-option RV vehicle and one German full-option sedan.

I made a reservation the next day without any hesitation. Of course, as I saw in the novel, I wondered if the dealer was ignoring it or something like that.

[uh! I saw it on TV! Duet! The song was really good. If you’ll excuse me, won’t you sing again? I really listen to the song at least once a day these days!]

I was able to complete the contract in a very kind atmosphere and hospitality, perhaps because there were fans of Jeongyeon’s duet song.

“Sheesh. It’s a pity. I’ve prepared everything.”

“Don’t write a novel. You bastard.”

“Don’t you know? Novels or webtoons, anyway, are clichés. It’s because you didn’t buy a Ferrari. Would it have been different if it was a Ferrari?”

I returned to the office listening to Um Kang-seok’s grumble, not knowing what the hell he was missing.

“Go in first. I’ll stop by somewhere before I go in. Get ready to go home.”

“Yeah. Got it.”

Eom Kang-seok, who came up to the office, threw himself on the sofa.

It was a pretty satisfying day. Even when I go home, I now have something to be proud of to my parents.

Judging from Go Ye-rim’s expression, it seems that he has similar thoughts.

“Is Yerim going home right away?”

“Yes. My house is on the Incheon side. I think I’ll take the subway and go straight there. KTX, editor?”

“Yes. We have to leave early tomorrow morning.”

“You’re working hard. It must have been difficult to book tickets.”

“It’s good that we made a reservation in advance. But where did he go so he doesn’t come like this?”

It’s already been over an hour since Song Jae-ik asked me to go up first, so I was about to call.

with my daughter-

“Where have you been?”

“It’s big. Everyone had a hard time walking around all day.”

“Why are you suddenly polite?”

Um Kang-seok widened his eyes at the sudden, awkward expression of honorifics and no response.

“It’s great. The boss says. It’s a week-long holiday from tomorrow. Everyone has worked so hard throughout the year.”

“No-!”

“We should spend the New Year holidays warmly.”

“Towards Um Kang-seok.”

“What else are you going to do?”

“Go and buy your parents a pair of underwear.”

And I was handed a small paper bag.

“What is this?”

“As for Miss Go Ye-rim, go ahead and buy some delicious beef with your parents.”

“Huh? What is this…? Cash?”

“It’s five million won each. Year-end bonus. It’s the first year-end. Go and spend a warm day with your family. Now, today’s work ends here. Come on, everyone, go home. Before the traffic jams.”

“Hey, what is this. Again!”

Eom Kang-seok, who had already received 20 million won as a bonus a few months ago, was speechless. Even then, thanks to the 20 million won that Song Jae-ik gave, wasn’t it possible to extend the charter contract?

But again, it’s a bonus. Each 5 million won was a whopping 10 million won.

“Go away soon! Your parents will be waiting for you.”

Song Jae-ik drove the two out of the office to hide his embarrassment.

“Thank you. Author!”

Even the moment Go Ye-rim left the office with a teary-eyed expression, she was bowing her head toward Song Jae-ik, wondering what she was so grateful for.

“I am more grateful to you.”

Everyone has gone and the factory has become quiet. Song Jae-ik turned on the tablet screen with a twitching lip that did not come down as if to answer Go Ye-rim’s words of gratitude until the end.

It’s the end of the year and I have nowhere to go. I don’t even have to go to my relative’s house. What can I do? I should write and draw webtoons.

—

“Mom is here!”

“Oh! Is your son here?”

A house I haven’t heard in a really long time. It was probably 8 months.

“Oh, you’ve lost weight. Didn’t you order too much food for delivery just because you were living alone in Seoul?”

“Ugh, it’s not because I ate too much delivery food, it’s because I ate too much cooked food. You remember Jaeik, right? A high school classmate.”

“Yes, yes! Jaeik! How is Jaeik?”

“Yeah. Lately I’ve been hanging out with him a lot, but his cooking skills aren’t average. Sometimes he cooks for me and it’s delicious, so he must have gained weight by eating two bowls of rice.”

“It’s great! But do some exercise! If you live alone, take care of your health! There’s no one to take care of you if you’re sick.”

Seeing his mother greet him so brightly, Um Kang-seok felt a sense of guilt.

“So. Are your preparations going well?”

My father indifferently asks about his current situation.

“Oh hey! The kid asks about that as soon as he arrives! Unpack your luggage! You said you were coming and bought meat, so let’s eat beef! Go back to your room and rest!”

Eom Kang-seok, who was pushed into the room, stared blankly at the paper bag containing 5 million won from Song Jae-ik.

“Son! It’s ready! Come out to eat!”

At the words of her mother shouting from the living room, Um Kang-seok took the paper bag and went out into the living room.

From various ssam vegetables to rice, soup, and beef, no matter when they were prepared in that short time. Literally, there was no delicacy.

profit-

“Is there a lot of trouble in Seoul?”

“What is suffering?”

“I made kimchi this time, and it was delicious. Come on, eat a lot. Shall I pack some for you when you go home?”

This time, the mother tearing up the kimchi and putting it on top of the rice.

And Dad, who indifferently puts a piece of well-cooked meat on top of the rice.

“I got a job.”

“yes? what?”

“A job? really? Where?!”

At the word that their son got a job, the two parents stopped eating and asked back in surprise. What a job! Wasn’t that something I never thought of?

“this.”

Then, he put the paper bag he had received from Song Jae-ik on the desk.

“what’s this? cash? Gosh! Man, you should save money. If you have any money, bring this! If it was your first job, your salary wouldn’t be much.”

“This is the year-end bonus I received this time. Five million won.”

“What? Five million won? With such a large amount of money in cash? It’s strange, but you didn’t get a job, did you?”

“Didn’t I tell Jaeik earlier?”

“Is not it. Jaeik.”

“Jaeik runs a You Tube channel.”

“What? you tube?”

“yes. It’s not just you tube. He’s reading webtoons now, singing songs, and playing the piano. anyway. I got a job there as an editor and planner. You’re doing really well these days.”

“Oh, I’m glad it’s not weird. It went really well! My son got a job, so no worries now!”

“I’m glad. I’ve been interested in electronics since a long time ago. You got a job where you want, right?”

“yes. this job is fun really. They are doing well.”

A very bright response. It was pure joy itself.

“I have something planned this time. Shall I show you that?”

“really? son? Let’s see!”

Um Kang-seok was so excited that he connected to Youtube on TV and connected to Song Jae-ik’s channel.

“Can you see the subscribers? 700 thousand. Most of the videos uploaded here are edited by me! And this is what I planned this time.”

Eom Kang-seok played the last video, Challenge, How far have you gone, and the parents put down their spoons and focused on the video that their son made, in order to capture even one minute and one second more.

‘Thank you. Thank you very much.’

And the same thing was repeated at Go Ye-rim’s house in Incheon.

Wei Ying-

“hello?”

[How have you been?]

“Master!”

[Ugh! It’s funny that you call me after a few months and you’re a teacher. Anyway, he kept his promise to upload one piano video every week.]

“Isn’t it true that you are supposed to keep your promise? The world tour is over, right? Aren’t you coming back to Korea soon?”

[right. I’m planning to go to Korea sometime next week. I want to see it once when I go to Korea.]

“I’m welcome anytime.”

[This is very important. Tchaikovsky’s unreleased songs were found. three of them too. At Tchaikovsky’s sister’s house in Ukraine. I think I’m going to premiere those three songs in Korea. I want to entrust one of those songs to you.]

“Yes? The premiere?”

premiere. Literally the first performance in Korea. To entrust the domestic premiere of Tchaikovsky’s unreleased song to himself.

It was too big a match and Lee Jong-woo’s voice was too calm.

Rather, Song Jae-ik was surprised and asked back.

[What do you ask while listening? I’ll tell you again. I want you to take on one of the domestic premieres of Tchaikovsky’s unreleased songs.]
