"Gun-Ho, you haven't heard anything about our aunt, have you?"
"No, I haven't . "
"She fell on the stairs in her condo . She has been admitted to a hospital . She can't even stand up by herself . "
"Is it that serious? She can't even walk?"
"Yeah, because she is old, and it was a bad fall which gave her a lower back injury . "
"Shoot . "
"I went to see her at the hospital yesterday . She grabbed my arm and cried hard . She said having children meant nothing . "
"Why is she saying that? Jae-Woong did or didn't do something?"
"Every time she had a bad fight with her daughter-in-law, her son became alienated from her . She said she was disappointed in me too . "
"You? For what?"
"I told her to stop talking bad about her daughter-in-law and try to get along with her and try to think and talk positive about her . She was very upset when I told her that . "
"What did she say?"
"She said there was nothing positive to talk about her daughter-in-law, and she got furious . "
"Hmm . "
"Well, she is in Gil Hospital, room no . 706 . If you happen to be in Incheon area, just stop by . If you are too busy, then you don't have to visit her . "
"Okay . "
After getting off the phone with his sister, Gun-Ho thought about his aunt .

'She was so proud of her son—Jae-Woong—when he passed the level-9 government job exam . But her life after her precious son's marriage is not very pretty . I wonder how Min-Hyeok Kim is doing between his parents and his wife . He married a Chinese woman . It could go either way, either good or bad as far as the conflict between her and Min-Hyeok's mother is concerned . '

As he was thinking about family issues in general, he realized that he hadn't visited his parents for quite some time .
'I know my dad is receiving a 3 million won monthly salary from GH Mobile as a non-executive director . Is that enough? I wonder how they are doing . '

In the past when Gun-Ho was working as a factory worker after flunking the government job exam multiple times, he was also losing money by investing in the stock market . At that time, he was having an extremely hard time in his life, and he resented his parents for it . He even yelled at his father once .
'I yelled at him and asked him why have me in the first place knowing they didn't have enough money to support a child . My dad must have felt very sad . Without money, a family can't avoid serious discord, and it eventually falls apart . '

Gun-Ho headed to Incheon City to his parents' home . He stopped by a store to get some dried yellow corvina, which was Gun-Ho's father's favorite food, and a box of ginseng extract . He first went to see his aunt to the hospital before heading to his parents' home . He parked his car at the hospital parking lot and purchased a basket of fruits .
"My sister said she is staying in a patient room no . 706 . "
Gun-Ho was passing by a waiting area in the hospital when he saw Jae-Woong—his aunt's son—sitting on a chair .

"Huh? Jae-Woong? What are you doing here?"
"Huh? Gun-Ho bro?"
"Why are you sitting at the waiting area?"
"Oh, I came down after seeing my mom upstairs . It's mealtime for patients . "

"I see . How's your work at the department of labor?"
"I'm doing fine . I actually wanted to see you, brother . "
"Me? Why?"
"Do you know any company I can work for? Your company or a company you know . "
"Why? You have a job already in the government . "
"I want to quit that job . The government doesn't pay good money, and that causes a lot of troubles in my family . "
"Don't say that . A government job is the most stable and desirable work that everyone wants to get in . "
"You made a lot of money already by running your own company, and you purchased a 50 pyung condo for your parents and also bought a huge building . "
"I was just lucky, and I am one of the unique cases . Your life will become harder if you don't have good employment in this country . Working in the private sector is not a very good idea if you consider job security . Even though you might get a higher salary there, you have to be prepared to be laid off at any time, not to mention that the work itself is more stressful . Working for the government is the best job anyone could ever have . "
"I shouldn't have taken my parents' money to buy my home . I should have just rented a condo or something . Whew . "
"Why? Your mom helped you a lot when you buy your home?"
"My parents sold their condo in Guweol Town for 180 million won and helped me buy my current home in Gyesan Town . I paid 120 million won for my 17 pyung large condo, and they moved to a rental villa . "
"Oh, they did?"
"I had 20 million won in my savings that I saved by working as a government employee at that time, and my parents gave me 100 million won, so I could purchase the condo in Gyesan Town . I shouldn't have done it . I shouldn't have accepted their help…"
"What happened?"
"After my parents gave me 100 million won, my mom asked me to send her some allowance money every month . My wife couldn't take the request well . So the conflict between my mom and my wife started from there . "
"You don't have any debt, right?"

"No, I don't . "
"That's good . You have your own house without debt . That's good enough . Don't quit your government job . Once you are out from the government, you will realize that you are standing in hell . "
Gun-Ho knew Jae-Woong well from his childhood . Jae-Woong was two years younger than Gun-Ho, and he was a good student in school . He was a quiet boy, and he was not a very adventurous or proactive type . He didn't have an aptitude to do sales or developing technology in a company . Jae-Woong seemed to be having a hard time in life, but in Gun-Ho's view, Jae-Woong would do better as time went by; he would get promoted inside the government and that would raise his salary, and his parents would pass away .
"I will go upstairs to see my aunt . "
"Okay . I guess she must have finished her meal by now . "

Gun-Ho went to the patient room where his aunt was staying in with a basket of fruits in his hand . His aunt was having a conversation with an old lady patient who was lying down on the bed next to hers .
"Aunt!"
"Huh? Oh, Gun-Ho!"
Gun-Ho's aunt seemed to be surprised . She probably didn't expect Gun-Ho to visit her at the hospital at all .
"You didn't have to come, Gun-Ho . I know you are very busy . What is this? You didn't have to bring anything . "
Gun-Ho's aunt smiled broadly when she saw the fruit basket that Gun-Ho brought her .
"How are you? Are you in pain?"
"Don't get me started . I can't even go to the bathroom by myself . "
"You will get better . The medical technology these days is very well advanced . The doctors will take good care of you . "
"Oh, did you see Jae-Woong on the way here? He went down not long ago . "
"Yes, I met him . He will come up soon; he wanted to get some fresh air . "
"I've raised him for nothing . I gave birth to him, but he is acting like a stranger . "
"Haha, don't say that, aunt . You don't mean that . "
"A son becomes a stranger once he marries . They always take the side of their wives . Gun-Ho, don't do that to your mom . "
The old lady patient on the bed next to Gun-Ho's aunt asked her,

"Who is this young man? He is tall and handsome . Very good looking . "
"He is my nephew, my older brother's son . He is the one who is making a lot of money and recently bought a building . "
"A building? I see . He looks rich . "
Gun-Ho laughed .
"Thank you, ma'am . I wish you good health for a long time . "

Gun-Ho then stood up from his seat to leave .
"Go, Gun-Ho . You must be very busy . "
Gun-Ho took out an envelope from the inner pocket of his jacket .
"Aunt, get something to drink with this . "
"Oh, you don't have to do that!"
Gun-Ho's aunt didn't refuse to take the envelope; she took it and hid it under the mattress quickly .
"I will tell Jae-Woong to come up to stay with you on my way out . "
"Okay . Bye, Gun-Ho . Thank you for coming . "
Gun-Ho went down to the waiting area, but he couldn't find Jae-Woong . He thought for a second if he would look for him, but then he decided to just leave, and he headed to Guweol Town where his parents were living .
