Ti- ti- ti- ti- ti- tiring~Crash...
Open the front door and enter the house.Knock- ··· Knock-!The fluorescent lights flicker. A call comes in on the house phone.
"hello?"
"Yoohan... isn't your mom home...?"
It was a call from Yuhan's father. Yuhan sighed, his annoyance evident on his face, wondering if this had been the case all along.
"Ha.. Mom, Mom, that bastard Mom!!"
"How long are you going to keep looking for Mom? Since when were we so poor that we couldn't even fix a fluorescent light?"
"Hey, Yuhan, the fluorescent light went out again..?"
At Yoohan's words, the father continued speaking in confusion.
"It's not a fluorescent light problem right now!!"
···
"Ha... Did work start again?"
He asks if Yuhan started working because he quit his original job.
My father pauses for a moment, then nods and says, “Okay.”
Yoohan takes a deep breath and says, “Okay,” and hangs up.
"The day Dad comes... is 12 days from now."
The fluorescent light that kept blinking indiscriminately must have been annoyed, so I slapped it. As if it had come to its senses, the blinking fluorescent light stopped blinking.
Yoohan takes out his phone and sends a text to Taehyung. As their conversation is about to end, someone knocks loudly on the door. Yoohan goes out to the front door and asks who it is.
"Hey, are you Park Hyun-soo's daughter? Where is your father?"
The person who came to my house was a loan shark. He had visited several times in the past and left my house in disarray.
But the debt had already been paid off and there was no need to see it anymore.
"You won't have any more business with us, will you?"
"Who doesn't have any business? Your father is in your name
I borrowed money, man~"
Her father had once again lost money gambling, using his seal to borrow money in her name.
After learning the general situation, Yoohan suppressed his deep anger for a moment and asked first how much money he had borrowed.
"Exactly 980 million won..."
"what···?"
The amount I'd previously borrowed was 230 million won. I'd paid off most of that with my mother's money, and this was also one of the reasons she left this house.
Since Yuhan didn't have much money in his account right away, he asked a loan shark to borrow some money and come back later, and sent him away.
Thud-Yuhan, who had collapsed, was in a state of utter panic. He thought he'd finally escaped the nightmare, but it was shocking to see his father, whom he'd believed would never happen again, borrow money in his name and start everything from scratch.
"Again... I have to do it again...?"
Betrayal. Anxiety. Bewilderment. My faith and confidence were gone. The father I had barely trusted and supported was gone.
Tears fall one by one.
The fluorescent lights flickered again and then went out completely.
In a dark, cold room, there are no words left except for the sound of tears and sorrow.
Then the phone screen flashes and turns on.
Yoo-han, who looked at his phone in a speechless state, held it tightly and started crying again.
The sound of the TV is coming out.
"Sometimes···,."~@:#"
" ···*·^:#So···#@'~..,!"
"····#@&...,,_...There is nothing more happy than when someone else is happy because of you."
Perhaps Yoo-han's complicated mind, with countless emotions tangled up in it, was able to relax a little bit after hearing Tae-hyung's text.
