Chapter 125 – Synthesis (Part 1)

* * *

Our family sat down with lots of beer and we talked since we hadn’t all gathered together in a long time,

We kind of talked about the house thing too.

I again used the story I gave Hyun-ji before, that I invested in my friends’ startup business and it exploded.

“That board member I rescued before, from Mt. Taejo. The guy that got me the job.”

“Yes, yes.”

“He helped me out and used the company my friends set up as a subcontractor. Thanks to that, since I invested in the startup, I keep making good money.”

Thankfully, noona who is always suspicious must be tired from the verbal wrestling she did with Cha Ji-hye because she didn’t hound me.

But honestly, why would she when her younger sibling is making money? And she also knows for sure that I don’t have the wherewithal to make money through conning like a criminal.

Mom clapped her hands in glee.

“Oh my, my, finally, you’ve made it, son! You’ve got money and a girl, now all you need to do is put a grandbaby in my arms!”

“Again with that grandbaby nagging.”

“Son, you just wait till you’re my age.”

Then mom kind of scooted over towards Cha Ji-hye and asked.

“How old are you may I ask?”

“I am 29 years old. Please lower your speech, mother.”

“Ho ho, shall I? It’s good to hear the word mother. Honey, don’t use your cold (matter of fact) style of speech, you can relax.”

“I find this comfortable. If it bothers you to hear such speech, I apologize.”

She spent 15 years in the Arena but she ultimately couldn’t get rid of that army manner of speech.

…. But did mom just call her honey?

“Ho ho ho, not at all. Concise and nice to hear.”

“Thank you.”

“Anyway, if you’re 29, you should start… no?”

“What do you mean?”

“When are you planning on marrying, honey?”

“I have no intention.”

Cha Ji-hye didn’t blink an eye and answered firmly.

“Oh my goodness, why?!”

Mom was shocked at Cha Ji-hye’s straightforwardness.

“I’m sorry. I plan on living unmarried. Hyun-ho had the same thought and we decided to date.”

“Um, son!”

Mom’s tearful face looked towards me.

“You want a single life?”

“Uh, um, yes.”

At the sudden development of this situation, I got flustered and with a bitter face she replied.

“Why would son want to be single? Weren’t you single all this time because you didn’t have the means for a woman?”

“Well, yes but when I thought about it I wondered whether there really was a rush to get married.”

Mom then went numb from the shock.

Noona and I and Hyun-ji, she looked around at the 3 of us, gave up, and sighed in lamentation.

“One can’t marry, one doesn’t want to marry, and the remaining one can’t even get a job……”

Feeling ashamed, the three siblings bowed our heads down.

Mom felt dizzy and lay down.

“It’s all wrong. I’m doomed to die without seeing a grandbaby. The convenience store family next door, their four daughters have all married and already have two grandbabies they bragged……”

That stupid convenience store ajumma!

It’s always like this.
