Episode 2. regression.

I opened my eyes as I felt my face sting for some reason.

The blurred ceiling pattern caught my eye clearly when I blinked my eyelids a few times.

I got up and muttered.

“Are you really back?”

I’m still not sure if it’s back in 1997, but at least it wasn’t 2022.

The feel of the cotton quilt felt in his hand and the dazzling sunlight, but above all else, there was another solid proof.

Jinsil Lee’s bromide was my first treasure in high school.

As soon as I woke up, it was the first thing I saw on the wall.

“Heh, maybe we’ll see this again.”

I felt the pain in my back as I was shivering like a madman and caressing Jinsil bromide.

“Ouch!”

When I looked back, I saw a face that I had missed so much, staring at me.

“This Noom’s Shiki. No matter how hot you are, what the fuck are you doing in the morning?”

“Mrs. Soon!!!”

I hugged my aunt whose hair only reached my chin.

“Is Iggy really beautiful? Are you suddenly coming to Grano?”

My bewildered aunt pushed me away, but I didn’t care and kept holding her.

“Mrs. Soon, Ms. Soon, I really missed you. Black.”

My aunt was bewildered, but then she patted my back.

“Oooh, a grown man, Cheongseung-eun from the morning.”

Aunt Jisoon Kim.

When I was 5 years old, my parents died in an accident, and I was the one who raised me like my own for 15 years with my uncle.

Although my mouth and hands were a little rough, it was entirely thanks to my aunt that I grew up without being crooked.

He was a good person, but my uncle committed suicide during the IMF and died of an illness 5 years later, so I will never see you again like this.

It was great to come back.

So after holding my aunt for a long time, she released her arms and asked.

“Mrs. Soon, this year is 1997, isn’t it?”

“Are you asking for that? 1997 hasn’t passed yet, but it’s a holiday, so I overslept on the topic of high school 3?”

‘Yes!’

I clenched my fist.

News was playing on the TV in the living room.

“The March 1st Movement in North Korea yesterday was held by Kim Il-sung’s father, Kim Hyeong-jik…”

Seeing that it was a holiday and the Samil Movement was on the news, it was clear that today was March 1.

The first event that twisted my life There are still about eight months left before the IMF foreign exchange crisis erupts.

I clenched my fists in joy, but something caught my hand.

‘This..’

A white payphone card was held in his left hand as a reminder of the transaction I had made to return to the past.

The moment I saw it, my excited heart subsided.

‘Okay, I’m not in a position to be in love with you like this.”

I remembered the plans I had made before returning home.

In order to pay off the debt to the devil and correct the twisted past, he had to move as quickly as possible.

“Mrs. Soon, where is your uncle?”

“Where is it, your uncle. He’s still lying on the floor in the big room. I don’t know why there are two guys in the house that are so alike. “

I went straight into the big room and woke up my uncle.

“Uncle, uncle, wake up.”

Uncle closed his eyes and waved his arms.

“Go away. I ran into a mess yesterday for entertaining, don’t wake me up.”

Ignoring him, he continued to shake his shoulder.

“Uncle, wake up, I have something important to tell you, Sam Choon!!”

My uncle got up reluctantly on my back.

“Hey, why the hell are you coming from this morning, Grano?”

“I have something important to tell you.”

“I, please take out some palm (nighttime self-study).”

Uncle asked with a blank expression.

“What did you just say? what how?”

“I want some palms. uncle.”

At that time, almost all humanities high schools were conducting night self-study by forcibly tying students to school from 9 to 10 pm.

Even if I went to school, it was too much for me to proceed with my plans.

Uncle took a deep breath.

“Hmm, I didn’t hear it wrong.”

Uncle looked at my face and continued.

“Why?”

“Because there is something I want to do.”

“What do you want to do?”

“What is that?”

“I want to make some money.”

The uncle gave him a look of incomprehension.

Well, of course I don’t understand now.

“Are you short of pocket money?”

“no.”

“by the way? Do you want to make money with me?”

“I want to be rich.”

He wasn’t just rich.

He had to become wealthy at the level of a chaebol.

You never know when the murderous 5000% rate will tighten my share.

In the meantime, it would be best if I could save my uncle who was going to die miserably.

Uncle was not able to speak right away.

“…”

Uncle shook his head.

“I really don’t know what you are thinking.”

I couldn’t come up with any more compelling reasons.

Because I couldn’t say something like that, I had to take a loan from the devil and pay off the debt.

Uncle finally shook his head.

“Can not be done.”

“uncle!”

“No matter what you do, it’s not okay to wait. What do high school seniors do to study? make money? I’m your protector, did you think you would allow that? Even if I’m ashamed to see my brother in heaven, I can’t do that.”

I can’t.

Outside of spending the treasury number.

“Uncle, if you missed the palm and your grades went up, would you still object?”

My uncle put on a shaky face.

“It’s possible, but it’s okay to skip the palm. But do you think your grades will come out if you don’t study?”

“Come out. 10th place in the whole school! Once I remove the palm, I will be in the top 10 of the entire school for this midterm exam.”

My uncle smiled as if he was stunned.

“Huh, what? School 10, huh? Do you remember how many places you placed in the final exams of the last 2nd year?”

It was 25 years ago, so my memory is hazy, but until my sophomore year, my grades were around 100. maybe.

“I remember. But I’m confident. If you take out the palm, you can really be in the top 10 of the whole school.”

Now that I think about it, even if I’m not a genius, I think I had the brain of a talented person.

In my previous life, my grades went up quickly after I started studying in earnest in my third year of high school.

It was clear that he wasn’t a bad person, as the ranks in the entire school, which were close to 100th until sophomore year in high school, made it to the top 5th place in the last test before graduation.

And I’ve never seen a person as good as me, especially when it comes to memory.

Do you remember most of the things you studied in high school as well as the questions that were asked in the exams?

4 years of college study, 15 years of research as a researcher, and the memory of taking the same test were added, but it was strange that I wasn’t in the top 10.

Uncle began to shake as to whether the repeated declaration of 10th place in the whole school had worked.

“..what if I can’t see you?”

“I will return to Yaja immediately and study only. It’s never different, but I don’t look at it.”

“Really? If I can’t get 10th place in the whole school, can you promise that I won’t do anything else and go to school well?”

“yes. I promise. If I don’t make it to the top 10, I’ll just study like crazy from then on.”

From my uncle’s point of view, even if I didn’t make it into the top 10, it wasn’t a bad suggestion in many ways as it could make me focus on my studies in return for dropping out palms for a couple of months.

Uncle looked me in the eye and then opened his mouth.

“..I know. Don’t call your homeroom teacher on Monday. ”

“No, don’t like it too much. If I don’t get 10th in the midterm, I’ll wait for Yaja to return.”

Ignoring him, he hugged his uncle.

“Thank you, uncle, uncle.”

While I was tangled up with my uncle, my aunt growled from behind.

“honey! Isn’t it okay to say that, kid? A clumsy 3rd grader in high school wants to cut out the palms, but an adult can’t stop them, can you help me with that?”

Uncle’s shoulders suddenly shrunk.

“If Jae-Woon takes out the palm, his grades will go up, won’t he? It’s a base that can be taken away from improving grades.”

“Do you think Jae-Woon can really improve his grades even if he misses the palm?”

“If a person only has the will, what can’t he do? You have to try to figure out whether you can improve your grades or not. Let me give you a chance.”

“What? That’s what a guy called uncle would say right now!!”

“Honey, wait a minute, just calm down and listen. When I looked into that guy’s eyes, he was serious kid. When Jae-Woon takes the midterm exam, he may really do something.”

“a look? lying light? You sound like eyes. you’re always like this Do you know that anything will work out if it feels good?”

“Honey, calm down.”

…..

The uncle and his wife sneaked out of the chaos and returned to the room.

I laid out my notebook, wrote down my plans for the future, and checked it one more time.

Assembling computer sales business.

Back in 1997, it was the first thing I wanted to do.

In my previous life, I worked part-time at a computer parts store for about two years to pay for my college tuition.

I had quite a bit of knowledge about assembling computers.

It was not difficult to do even as a student.

Once the palm was removed, the minimum time was secured.

After about 30 minutes, my aunt came into my room to see if she had calmed down a bit.

It was a face full of concern.

“Jaewoon, are you really ready to go to work?”

“yes. But I’m really confident that I’ll be in the top 10 even after I’m out of the palm tree. Trust me, Ms. Soon.”

“It’s not that I don’t trust you, but how easy is it to study while working? Think about it, can’t you just try it once more?”

The first year loan interest rate was 10%, which was the lowest interest rate.

Even the 4 million won that I had to pay off at the beginning of next month was not an acceptable amount.

Even if he had future memories, he was still just an ordinary high school student with no foundation.

I’m sorry to my aunt, but I couldn’t think of a way to raise the money by doing palms.

“I’m sorry, I don’t think I can change my mind.”

Aunt sighed.

“I get it. There is nothing I can do about it if your thoughts are writing.”

My aunt’s disappointment made me feel weak, but this was the only way for me.

“Are you worried? sorry. pure lady”

Unexpectedly, the aunt shook her head.

“I am upset because you said you were going to remove the palms.”

“then?”

“I just wanted you because there was something I couldn’t do. I thought I was raised like my own child, but I just thought that your opinion might be different. Talking about money all of a sudden is stupid.”

For a moment, I felt her sincerity and cried.

I was just stuck with the military family for 14 years on a topic that wasn’t even my own.

It was an overflowing love.

Embarrassed, I turned around.

“Chat, I already have one head taller than Ms. Soon. Can’t you just think that she wants to be independent when her children are grown up?”

For reference, height was my aunt’s biggest complex.

My aunt was furious.

“This Nomushiki! No matter how tall you grow, in my eyes you will always be, baby, baby.”

“It would be. Whoops.”

“..Funny, Hungry? Come and have dinner.”

When I went out to the living room, I saw the breakfast table my aunt had made.

White rice with miso soup, kimchi tossed with red pepper sauce, and deep-fried pork cutlet.

There was nothing special about the breakfast, but the moment I saw it, I couldn’t think of anything.

mumble.

🥳🥳

It had been 25 years.

“No, take it easy, stay calm.”

My uncle, who I had not seen, said a word, and then the reason came back a little.

thumbs up

“(Omulomul) is so delicious, Ms. Soon’s cooking skills are the best.”

My aunt looked at me like that and asked.

“It’s just what I usually eat, but is it that good?”

He nodded his head broadly.

Everything was insanely delicious.

In particular, the crunchy texture of the pork cutlet was truly enchanting, beyond words.

In my previous life, it was a side dish that I didn’t even mention because I got tired of it.

My aunt laughed happily.

“okay? Hoho, stay a lot, can I give you more rice?”

I held out my bowl and shouted.

“full!”

In the end, I was able to put the spoon down after eating three more bowls of rice.

Uncle looked tired.

“I’ve never seen anyone who enjoys eating like you. Could it be that your girlfriend didn’t eat dinner yesterday?”

“Ouch!”

My aunt’s chastisement immediately fell on my uncle.

“What are you talking about? I’m coming, won’t you feed me?”

My uncle stuttered.

“The base that asked me because I wanted my kids to enjoy their stay. Do you use that to use people here?”

“What? lose someone? Come on, let me show you today what it is to beat people.”

When there was a sign that it was going to be noisy again, I intervened,

“Stop it. Because nothing really happened. It was just because it was delicious today.”

In any case, it is often difficult to tell whether these two are good or bad.

My uncle asked as my aunt was cleaning the table.

“But where did this guy go?”

“I don’t even know, I ran out from the morning playing with my friends.”

“Tell me to eat and go.”

“Where does that girl listen to me and stay with me?”

That’s right, he was there.

My cousin Kang Kyung-ah.

It was one of my sore fingers in my previous life, which was ruined as the family fell apart.

I’m not going to let that happen in this lifetime.

I got dressed and left the room.

uncle asked.

“Where are you going?”

“I’ll go to Yongsan Station.”

“Yongsan Station? Wow? Will you meet any friends?”

“No, I want to meet some business partners.”

“fellow trader? Do you know what that means?”

“sure.”

Uncle tilted his head.

“What kind of business do you have?”

“I can’t speak yet. I just have a plan.”

Uncle laughed bitterly.

“Well, try your best. When you are young, you need to try and fail.”

You’re saying it’s disgusting.

The failure was exhausting.

Now is the time to be successful.

“I will go.”

“Oh.”

Uncle looked at the newspaper and shook his head.

I left the house and took the subway to ‘Yongdon’.

Yongdon.

The official name is Yongsan Electronics Market.

However, it is a famous electronics market usually called Yongsan or ‘Yongdon’.

It is attached to Yongsan Station, has a complex structure like a dungeon, and if you look closely, you can buy good electronic products at a low price, so it feels like you got it.

The first step that changed my life, the business of selling assembled computers.

I plan to start that business in this ‘Yongdon’.
