24. Jung Hoo Sik's Past.

Past midnight now.

Jung Hoo Sik had come home fifteen minutes earlier, and now the man had arrived at the house she had been living with for more than five years with her aunt.

Jung Hoo Sik tried his best not to withdraw and of course it was hard for Hoo Sik to do, but since the death of his father and mother, the poor man couldn't get anything.

Justice, money, property of his parents, land, and everything.

Like everything has just been broken and can not be taken, and owned. Hoo Sik can still be grateful that his aunt wants to take care of him, as well as Tae Woo who accepts him as a cousin even though their relationship is still very often fight and make up like before.

Yes, today is the same. The exact day that Tae Woo and Hoo Sik reconciled by fighting them again and again.

Today evening, the man purposely went home early because he wanted to talk to his aunt about the developments that the man had received from Kim Tae Woo which was very different from the many years the two had lived together.

"Auntie," Hoo Sik called because he was grateful to see his aunt was in the television room where the woman rested. "Yes? You need something?" he asked, Hoo Sik shook his head slowly, the man kept his bag and several cellphones on the dining table and chose to wash his hands first before talking much with his aunt.

Finished washing his hands the man chose to sit directly across from his aunt's sofa to say what he had intended earlier.

"I want to talk," Hoo Sik asked Tae Woo's mother, making the woman who had raised Hoo Sik from a young age choose to turn off the television and start talking. "Say, auntie will listen to you." A good response for a woman who has beautiful and friendly feelings for her nephew.

"I made up with Kim Tae Woo, this is good news because the man has started to change, aunt." The woman rolled her eyes lazily, delaying and forcing herself to do nothing, in the end, the woman chose to speak up.

"Two years earlier you also said this, Hoo Sik," he replied. "Does it all end the same? It's not that easy, Tae Woo is stubborn. Aunt can not control it. Because of that aunt can only use the same way Tae Woo wants." What Tae Woo's mother said was true.

Hoo Sik remembers very well how that man said the same thing before and ended up the same way too. The man took a deep breath. "There's nothing wrong with forgiving Tae Woo, an auntie." With the same feeling again, Hoo Sik chose to give Tae Woo a chance for the umpteenth time.

"And you're going to make him continue to be a child? Jung Hoo Sik, he's a grown man, who should be mature for his age, if he can't then use harsh ways how he treats us, Hoo Sik." Her aunt is right, what that woman said is true.

But seeing how her aunt used her way, could she even see her own son's face until now?

NO!

The woman can't see him, not even tomorrow and for the umpteenth time, Tae Woo could be avoiding his mother.

"I know, aunt." Jung Hoo Sik finally retorted to what aunt had told him. "There's one possibility that you didn't know about your son." Hoo Sik begins to speak about what Tae Woo said to him this morning.

"What?"

"Kim Tae Woo grew up well and matured, auntie just didn't see it." Hoo Sik finally dares to talk to Tae Woo's mother about how she always thinks Kim Tae Woo is just a stubborn and selfish man who can't live his life well and independently.

"You don't know what Tae Woo thinks, Hoo Sik. You don't know, his mother's aunt and aunt knows how Tae Woo thinks and acts." Hoo Sik sighed heavily, he knew that what he said would never be heard, and Hoo Sik also knew that what he said his aunt would never believe.

How Tae Woo always does all the duties of the company without missing it, where Tae Woo is late and always finishes his work gently every day.

Actually, his aunt doesn't know much about Tae Woo, but somehow the mother's hunch is too much or indeed her aunt doesn't know about her son at all.

"Jung." The woman had called out to Hoo Sik's family surname not to leave her first. "No matter what happens, you have to make the big company left behind by your grandfather grow well, you have to help Kim Tae Woo, Hoo Sik. Auntie is very afraid of losing Kim Tae Woo." Hoo Sik chuckled, he nodded his head slowly.

"Auntie doesn't worry, I'll take care of Tae Woo how well you take care of me, I don't see me doing it out of gratitude, aunt. It's just that for me, we are a leftover family." The woman sighed heavily, refusing to forget it was true.

Jung Hoo Sik's parents both died, and nothing left, price, money, or place to live. During his lifetime, Tae Woo's mother's younger brother did not commit any corruption or embezzlement of company funds, it's just that after the destruction of the big house, Jung Hoo Sik chose, all the money and assets belonging to the company, currently belonging to Hoo Sik's father, were withdrawn by the police on charges that the man do. big mistake with embezzling company money, and not paying all of its employees for the past five months.

Of course, it surprised everyone including Jung Hoo Sik who was only focused on his lectures being completely helpless. The man was really in big trouble, even for himself what he got was only severe depression left by his parents.

."Auntie is just helpless, Hoo Sik." The man chose to take a deep breath without saying anything, he nodded his head in a good response.

"I'm going to my room first, aunt," he said goodbye to his aunt making the woman nod her head slowly. "Don't take it as a joke what auntie told you, Hoo Sik. Auntie asked me seriously," he said.

As his aunt's only hope, Hoo Sik could only nod his head slowly and smiled faintly. "I know how to respond to what I have to hear, auntie. I will do whatever aunty tells me." The woman nodded her head slowly, she let Hoo Sik into her eyes to rest in her room.

So far, so far, and recently Tae Woo's mother feels that her life is a little colorful because of Hoo Sik. .because if Tae Woo leaves her with Hoo Sik's presence and absence, the woman will feel lonely.

Or maybe because of Hoo Sik's existence? Oh, forget it.

Hoo Sik climbed the stairs to the second floor, his steps going every step of the way until he reached the very last staircase.

There are five well-occupied rooms there. His aunt and uncle's room, Tae Woo's room, his room, and the two guest rooms.

When the steps were not far from Tae Woo Hoo Sik's room, he chose to stop by for a while.

The room is always locked, the original and spare keys are all held by Kim Tae Woo, never cleaned and entered since the man chose to leave his own house.

"You should have waited for an explanation from me, Kim Tae Woo." Hoo Sik objected, the man glanced at Tae Woo's door for the umpteenth time. "You're going deaf and you're the one who doesn't know the truth, Kim Tae Woo." Hoo Sik sighed heavily, he started walking towards his room and left his uncomfortable feeling this time.

"You'll be very sorry too if you close your ears to the truth." Arriving at the room Hoo Sik took off all his outer clothes, bags, watches, and bags.

Arranged it neatly and chose to walk straight to the bathroom to clean his own body and finish other activities.

After bathing and cleaning his bed Hoo Sik chose to lie down immediately and took his cellphone to see what he forgot.

Hoo Sik opened a gallery where there were thousands of photos on his cell phone.

He gets the same photo, which always makes him weak and helpless. The photo where the last photo is between him and his two parents.

Eight years ago? I don't know, Hoo Sik forgot to remember.

Where Hoo Sik the first few weeks managed to go to college with the efforts he had gone through so far.

"Mommy, daddy." Hoo Sik took a deep breath, the man this time preferred to remain silent and glanced at his cell phone to recall it.

×××××

"Are you happy with all the clothes your mother bought for you this afternoon?" asked his father who was smiling brightly from his return from work an hour later.

"Yeah, mom bought you ten clothes that I can wear every day to come to my college. This was all dad's idea?" asked Hoo Sik who was still smiling happily at how his father gave him what he wanted no matter what. "Yes. Completely your mommy idea too, she suggested it, daddy just gave the card, and your mother accompanied you." Jung Joo Sik sighed happily, he couldn't contain his feelings at all.

"I am happy."

"Thank you, daddy, mommy." The two of them smiled and ate outside because they were making a lot of profit and very much money that could be used to have dinner together outside.

"I feel very happy if dad can spend time with me. Mom too," said Hoo Sik when the two of them arrived at the third place to eat, then took one every two months to eat together.

"I'm sorry mom and dad, dear Hoo Sik. Mom and Dad have not been able to give the best for you," said his father which at that time made Hoo Sik sigh heavily. "I also haven't been able to give the best for mom and dad." Hoo Sik said the same thing to his two carefree parents too.

"Trust us, kid. We love you no matter what happens in the future."

Hoo Sik sighed heavily realizing that his tears were spilling out again.

"What are you guys hiding from me really. Daddy, mommy."
