Big Life

Chapter 82

“Why is everyone coming to visit me?”

Sukjae wrinkled his face when he saw his son .

Jaegun answered as he put down the box of juice

“Eat one after you eat food . ’

“Why did you buy so much? I have so much to eat . It’s better to move . Do you think I can stand up because I’m so full . ”

“Dad, what are you talking about . You can’t even walk yet . Ah, you know you like it . I know you listened to the radio yesterday . ”

“Stop talking about useless things . You and your mom forced a sleeping person to listen . Ugh so irritating . I can’t see the TV . Move . ”

Jaegun moved while smiling slightly .

Sukjae was looking at TV show that he never watched . Jaeyn laughed at that .

“Ah, I need to go home . I need to bring dad’s clothes . ”

“I’ll go . You stay . ”

“Just go together ok?”

Sukjae said, but the two siblings didn’t respond . Jaegun went outside, and Jaeyn started to cut an apple

“Is that your son?”

A woman in her 50s asked from beside .

She was another patient like Sukjae who had one leg fractured . She came here a lot and chatted a lot .

“Yes . ”

Sukjae just looked at her slightly to be polite . He had no intention of trying to talk with her . She talked to him, but they were all statements bragging about her family

“You know, the economy isn’t very good… it’s hard to get a job . ”

He already knew about the things she talked about . She thought Jaegun was unemployed . He knew because of experience .

Sukjae didn’t respond and only looked at the TV . But the woman, like always, was continuing .

“But then, my son is pretty lucky . When he graduated, he went into HG, and he’s staying there well for three years . It’s hard to even to get into such a big company, but it’s harder to survive there . I’m proud but really worried . ”

“I see . ”

Sukjae responded dryly . It was her power to talk about things without anyone to talk to .

Then she even asked him a question .

“How old is your son?”

“He’s 28 . ”

“Ah, I see . He’s one year younger than my song . Then he’s not a student . Sigh, it’s hard to live . I don’t know when the economy is going to get better . ”

Sukjae stayed silent, but Jaeyn was different .

She answered while cutting the apples .

“I see . My brother is a writer, so good thing it doesn't affect him that much . ”

“Writer? A novelist?”

“Yes . ”

The woman sighed heavily .

“An amazing thing . Sigh, a writer is a hard job to live unless your a top one . Isn’t it?”

Jaeyn knew that she was slightly insulting her

Listening, her words were very insensitive

“As my son, I think his salary is about 50,000? I mean that’s good enough since he’s alone . How much is your brother’s salary? Nothing else but… haha, I’m curious of what young people make . I don’t know if my son is earning well . Is 50,000 enough?”

“I don’t know . My brother earns about 2 million . ”

The woman’s smiling face froze .

Jaeyn gave an apple to Sukjae .

“2 million… . ? His salary is … 2 million?”

“Not salary, but monthly . ”

“Mo, monthly…?”

“He’s a writer, so it’s a bit awkward to say salary . Seeing the money that comes in from the projects every month, it’s about that much . I’ll be back after seeing a nurse .

Jaeyn left answering like it was nothing .

To the shocked woman, Sukaje asked while giving his apple dish .

“Do you want one?”

TL - REKTTTTTTTED!!!!!

“I brought all the clothes, ah yes . ”

Jaegun turned around as he was about to leave the house .

He was about to bring a few books for his dad .

‘I’ve haven’t been in here in awhile . '

It was his dad’s study and his storage room . Since he wasn’t in a good relationship with his dad, he wasn’t here for a few years .

There were so many things in one corner .

In one wall, books were stacked up to the ceiling .

They were all his dad’s book .

‘Wow, my dad read Japanese novels?’

Jaegun pulled up a book in interest .

As he looked at the book, he leaned against a wall .

But it wasn’t a wall but was a pile of books .

“ACKK!”

The books fell apart .

When Jaegun moved his arms from his eyes, the room was filled with books .

“To make this mistake…”

He bent to lift up the books .

He saw a box that was hidden in a corner .

The box was open .

“ . . . !”

Seeing the things inside the box, Jaegun froze in place .
