The next , I encountered a different kind of problem
“Son!”
Mo
“What?”
“Do you knohat day it is today?”
“Friday”
“Today is the next month that you promised!”
“…!”
I now recall the promise I made my mom
At o out to the store and fry chicken with her, I had asked her to let me slide for a month But the next month that was promised has come already
“Son, it is now time for you to enter the world of the fried chicken business”
Mom looks like she is excited to boss me around at work
‘Um’
But I don’t have time for that I cannot spend the ti chicken!
With no other options, I tell her the truth abouta job
“Mom, actually, I…”
“Don’t make excuses From today on, son, you are a chicken businessman”
“God forbid This son has surprisingly gotten a job”
“Huh? A job?”
“Yes, a job”
“Son… did you get a part time somewhere? A part time is not a job”
This ajumma
I speak
“Not a part time, I mean a real job”
“What company would hire you? Is it a suspicious company?”
“No! What do you take me for?”
“You’re an uneo work at soo under and just come fry sweet and sour chicken with me, son”
I understand This is how much confidence mom has in me
“Mo Group!”
“Ji, Jinseong Group?”
“Yep”
Suddenly, my mom turns compassionate
“Son, have you fallen into a delusion and avoiding reality? Stop saying nonsense and come to the store with mom, okay?”
“No, seriously, I’ the truth!”
“There is no wayGroup”
I give her a moderate dra Group
“So you rescued aand that man turned out to be a member of the board of directors?”
“Yea I told hiive ood one”
“Is that true? And that ajusshi+ didn’t seem weird?”
“Nope”
“Son, the world is not so easy There’s definitely a catch”
“Wow, I’m serious! Just trust me!”
“Are you bullshi+tting me? Cause you want to stay home and lay around?”
“Ajumma, stop it, would you?”
Mom is in a deep pit of mistrust with me So much so that she calls support
“Hey, Hyun-ji! Stop your oppa!”
“What is it?”
Hyun-ji rushes over
Mootten a job at Jin-seong Group
Hyun-ji hears the story and,
“Hahahahahahahaha!”
She grabs her belly and rolls around in laughter It was such an excited laugh it alers in my ears like a hallucination This bitch!
“Oppa? At Jinseong Group? Then I’ll work at Google Haha!”
“Google doesn’t take 400 pointers on the TOEIC”
“H 30 sos either”
“Hey now, did you leave your respect for me at the club? Why don’t you have a little more respect for your older brother, huh?”
“Oh osh, that’s funny! Lookit here, ajusshi+ Aren’t you single? Isn’t it about ti hitched one by one? What are you doing by yourself?”
“Kuk…”

“What do youwith my baby sister’s best friend!”
“Kyak! I said no to Min-jeong!”
“Hahaha! I don’t need your permission!”
“You’re dead!”

The bell rings

“Is this Kim Hyun-ho’s residence?”
“Yes, and?”
“I’ve co Group”
“Huh?”
“I’ve come to escort him Is Mr Kim Hyun-ho inside?”
“Um, son…”
Mom, with an expression of disbelief, looks around to me
Thesaid he would send is already here Here already in the , his pace of work really is a like a storm
Thanks to him, I save face and my confidence shoots the sky
“Hah, you still think I’ reality still?”
“Even so, how could a person fro Group come here…!”
Hyun-ji looks extremely flustered as well
I smile wryly and place my hand on Hyun-ji’s shoulder
“My baby sister What did you say to me earlier?”
“That, um…”
“This oppa of yours has started work at a uess there won’t even be any broth for you!”
(TN: Korean saying about not even giving a little bit of soood stuff like ies, but for someone you don’t like, you won’t even share a little of the broth with them)
“No, oppa! I mean, elder brother!”
Hyun-ji’s behavior suddenly turns respectful
“Should I prepare breakfast for you? I’ll speak formally from now, elder brother?”
“It is too late for that, you wicked creature”
“A, oppa!”
