“Son, do you really have to go?”
“Yeah, mom. Why? Is something wrong?”
Seok Dong, who had been fussing with his forelock in the mirror for a while to cover his Mpattern baldness, turned towards the wardrobe. After much deliberation over his newly bought coat, Seok Dong finally decided to wear it.
Even though his enthusiasm had cooled down a bit due to a man who wore the coat from P company’s premium line incredibly well, it was still a luxury among luxuries. Therefore, it was the most suitable to wear to the university alumni meeting.
In fact, he didn’t really want to attend.
If he had a pretty woman to bring, it might be different. His stomach would hurt every time he went alone and heard his classmates boasting, and he felt sick when a guy who he thought was worse than him handed out wedding invitations.
However, not participating in that event, which was like a bragging contest held every yearend, was no different from saying ‘I have nothing to boast about. My life is miserable.’
Last year’s highlight was a guy who had been stuck at home after losing a lot of alimony to his exwife in a divorce. His peers relished their own happiness by ruthlessly criticizing someone else’s misfortune.
“Still, wasn’t his hospital doing well?”
“He gave up the hospital because of the alimony. Ah, I’ve always coveted that position and missed it.”
“How much alimony did he have to give to hand over the hospital?”
“Originally, the hospital was also funded by his inlaws. Don’t you remember the inlaws who were fussing about having some property? Having cheated while having such inlaws, he should return everything, of course.”
“Cheating isn’t something anyone can do. He must be capable.”
“If he were capable, he wouldn’t have been caught.”
Seok Dong always snuck into the group that was always snickering, and he played along with their ridicule. He wanted to be one of them, at least in that way. He didn’t want to be their laughingstock.
Moreover, as a gathering of people who received a certain level of recognition in society, he could get highlevel information about investments. In many ways, it was a gathering he did not want to miss.
“No, mom is just… those damned ones haven’t contacted yet, and dealing with them makes my body hurt here and there… I’m distressed because of that.”
Kwang Soon, who had a white band wrapped around her head, sighed as if the ground was caving in and cast her gaze down to the floor.
It was Christmas Eve, and although there wasn’t anything special, she wanted to be with her son. Being alone on such a day would inevitably make her feel depressed and it would be tempting to drown her sorrows in alcohol.
“Mom, don’t worry.”
Seok Dong firmly held the hand of Kwang Soon, who was caught up in regret, sobbing.
“I won’t leave those ones alone. How dare they bother my mom?”
“Sob…”
Kwang Soon dabbed at her tears with a handkerchief. In life, she had encountered all sorts of horrible people which led to her current suffering. The more she thought about it, the more pitiful and miserable her situation seemed.
“They might be blabbering about lawsuits not knowing their place, but I’ll lead it to a settlement somehow. Mom, just relax and wait a bit.”
“Settlement? Why should I give money to them! Even if my money rots, I won’t give a single dime to those damned ones!”
“It’s obvious they are after money because they have none. I’ll give them some money and then make them owe us big time. Mom, we are the powerful ones. They are just tenants in mom’s building.”
“Son, you don’t have any lingering feelings for that vixen, right?”
“Of course. It seems I was bewitched by that vixen.”
As Seok Dong gently stroked her hand and whispered his reassuring words, Kwang Soon felt relieved and nodded her head.
It was done. It was a relief that her son had come to his senses. It was enough to count it as a good thing that he had managed to shake off such a vile woman, even if it did mean paying a settlement.
With that thought, Kwang Soon smiled and patted the back of her son’s hand.
“Mom wouldn’t know how to live without her son.”
“I couldn’t live without mom either. That’s why mom shouldn’t get worked up over such things. You need to live a long life.”
“Yes, I should. Only then can I see my son happily living with his children.”
“Yes, mom. I’ll find a good woman and be filial. Mom should now take a break, whether it’s household chores or anything else, and rest while watching her grandchild’s antics.”
Seok Dong had no intention of showing filial piety himself but was only thinking of letting a precious daughter from another family show filial respect on his behalf. Kwang Soon, who was nodding vigorously at his words, also expected a ‘daughterlike’ daughterinlaw who would care for her.
