Chapter 192 – #27. My Master (1)
“What did you do with the settlement?”
“I bought a motorcycle.”
“Crazy?”
“Motorcycle figures. Hehe.”
“Toy? Sir, you were surprised. You thought you bought a real motorcycle.”
“Isn’t that a toy? Is it a figure?”
“I didn’t manage to buy a car.”
“It was more useful than I thought. I didn’t feel like buying a car yet, so I put up with it. He said he would give you more money next time, so wouldn’t you buy it then?”
As the members gathered, the topic of settlement came up without me having to bring it up.
In the first place, when the children returned to their dorms, everyone was full of luggage.
“I bought a present for you guys.”
Kyung-tae hyung was the first to bring out a ‘gift’ and give it to me.
Surprisingly, all the kids, without exception, bought presents for the members.
“Wow~ We’re not some kind of Manito… What is all this!”
“I know. I didn’t know everyone would buy presents.”
“Therefore. If I hadn’t bought it, I would have been embarrassed.”
“I’m really embarrassed that I bought something that isn’t really a big deal…”
“I also just went there to play and bought souvenirs there.”
“I will eat!”
When I opened the presents, Kyeong-tae hyung gave me pajamas, Eun-gyu a blanket, Ki Woo-yeon a chocolate set, Kang-joon a golden cat piggy bank bought abroad, and Jeki…
“Wow!!”
“Daebaak.”
“Jackie-hyung Flex!!!”
He gave me a gold ring as a gift.
The gold ring had the words Airplane nicely engraved on it.
“I don’t know if it will work out like this in the future, so if I go bankrupt later and run out of money, I’ll sell it in gold.”
Seeing the cheering members, Zeki acted bluntly as if he was embarrassed.
However, the members who had already turned their eyes to the gold ring continued to chant Jeki.
“Let’s take a picture of this and post it on social media!!”
“Let’s see Haesol hyung one last time.”
“Okioki.”
Members who received gold rings quickly put them on.
“It’s so cool.”
“It’s not tacky, and it looks like Jackie hyung chose it very well.”
Last but not least, my gift was also cracked.
The present I prepared was a hoodie.
There is no clothing as versatile as a hoodie that can be worn comfortably anytime, anywhere.
“Hood T-shirt! I like navy blue! Does it feel good?”
“It’s my favorite color!”
“Men get pink!!”
A hoodie in your favorite color.
“It would be perfect if I took a picture of me wearing this and wearing a ring and posted it on social media!”
“It’s going to be really funny.”
The kids clattered happily and thought hard about the composition to take the picture.
I just laughed and said.
“But how did you guys decide to pay the bill?”
“I gave it to my mother!”
Ki Woo-yeon goes to her mother.
“I just put it in my bank account.”
“Me too.”
Nam-gyu and Kang Kyung-tae went to the bank account.
“I have already written most of it.”
Juni gave an unexpected answer.
Nam Gyu asked in shock.
“Omg! That much money already? Where did you write it?”
“House!”
“You bought a house?!”
“Could you have bought a house with that money? It means that I bought a house with the money I originally saved and my money.”
“Ah~ I was surprised.”
Fortunately, no one seemed to have wasted money.
“But why are you asking that?”
“We are still young, but too much money came in. If you don’t get help from adults, you may have a bad experience, so I warned you in advance and came out to help if you need help.”
“How did you pay your brother?”
“I invested half and spent half on luxury.”
When someone who said that he was worried that the members would waste their money spent half of the settlement money on luxury, the members booed and booed.
“What is that!”
“I thought I used it very well again.”
“What does it mean to spend money well?”
“Yes?”
“You said you thought you used it well. If I spend my money somewhere, can I say I spent it well?”
The members think deeply about my question.
“There is a saying that money makes money. Isn’t it good to spend money to make money like that?”
“But how can money make money?”
“Invest?”
“Stock?”
“That is dangerous. My mom had stocks and was almost kicked out by her dad.”
Coincidence, is your money okay?
“But there is no way to make money with money other than stocks or investments.”
“Isn’t it best to just deposit money?”
“I heard that the next settlement is more than the one received this time, so why don’t you just put it in the bank then? Would the bank suggest a fund or something to tell them not to do that?”
“Ah, is that so?”
It seems that these guys also have no idea at all, but there are some things they have picked up from around them.
“Usually, as you said, I will call you money, so there will be many cases where you ask for money. In the process, many people get scammed and lose money and friends.”
“Why do you lose friends?”
“The guy who cheats on me is definitely an acquaintance.”
“!!”
I can’t help but worry about ‘money’.
If you don’t have money, worry about not having it, and if you have a lot of money, worry about having too much.
It was a problem that could not be ignored no matter how young he was.
“What I spent on luxuries is something that has been my lifelong wish. Everyone has their own romance buried in their heart. Now that I bought this, I feel refreshed, so I think I will be able to avoid luxuries for the time being. And I entrusted the remaining half to someone I know to invest in it.”
“And what if I lose all my investment?”
“My acquaintance is the one who takes care of the chaebol’s investment funds and runs them. The money I entrusted was really not a big deal, so I barely left it as a close friend. So I’m asking you guys too. If there is someone who wants to make money by rolling money, I will leave it to him with me. At least you won’t regret it?”
No member readily responded to my words.
I don’t know how lucky I am.
If I said yes here, I would have to nag for a while…
“Please take care of my money!!”
“… Coincidence, you said you gave it to your mother.”
“You can ask your mother for it again. Anyway, the only thing left to leave to her mother is to put it in her bank account. Or an old bad habit coming out. It’s a good opportunity, but I’ll trust you! I don’t ask for anything big, just keep the principal!”
Fuck-!
“Evil!”
“Now, what happens if I approach you through a friendship like this and entrust you with money?”
“Stupid Ki Woo-yeon.”
“I’m being scammed!”
“No matter how close you are, money transactions are not careless.”
“What if an acquaintance I know cheats and runs away? What will happen to my relationship with coincidence? I am also a victim.”
“It breaks down. My brother is also a victim, but how can I not blame him when my money is gone?”
“Okay. That’s right. Don’t believe it right away just because it’s an acquaintance, you have to doubt and doubt again. What he believes may not be the truth.”
Gi Woo-yeon, who was hit on the forehead, protests as she becomes tearful.
“What is it! Then, were all the lies about your acquaintance saying that he took care of and invested in chaebols’ money?”
“No, it’s real.”
“Eh? I thought you were lying!”
“Oh! Are you the one who is in charge of the real conglomerate money?”
“How much did you pay for investing?”
I just told you not to blindly trust what your acquaintances say, but these guys innocently come over me.
If this is the case, there is a very high probability that the nose will come from somewhere.
“Tsk tsk tsk, is this why Haesol-hyung nags you?”
Zeki, who was still listening to what the kids were doing, kicked his tongue and he said.
“I told you not to trust your acquaintances a minute ago, but why are they doing this?”
For a long time, Jeki had been earning money as a composer and engaged in economic activities, so he was a member who was not worried even if he suddenly had a lot of money.
“I can’t help it. You have to do it a few times to come to your senses. Even if my older brother makes his ears bleed, he won’t be able to experience it once.”
“Still, it’s a bit like watching your younger siblings until they get scammed.”
“Just don’t care and leave it alone. If you’re in a hurry later, hyung will come? It’s not too late to nag him then. After all, it’s money, you just have to earn it again.”
This child… If you want to earn money, can you earn it?
He doesn’t pretend to be proud of his abilities, but there are times when he cleverly annoys people.
‘He’s proud, but he thinks other people can do it too.’
So when we talk about it, people who lack ability often become miserable.
‘Is this not okay? Why? Is it really not that easy? Nonsense. Ey~ Are you kidding me?’
Doesn’t it feel very different when you accept that teasing a skinny person for being fat versus teasing a real fat person for being fat?
Why can’t this be done to someone who really can’t do it? If you do, you will only be salting.
For those of us who have the ability to make ‘money’ like now, this is a word that can be overlooked, but for those who do not, it can be a very demeaning word.
“Ahh, so you’re saying you’re going to take care of it or not?”
“Someone else will invest, so if I ask for money, will you give it?”
“Because he’s my brother, I trust him and leave it to him! If it was someone else, I would be too scared to do it.”
“Really?”
“Yes!”
Ki Woo-yeon looks at me with her bright eyes.
It’s not easy to look away because it’s the cat’s eyes in boots.
“Why aren’t you afraid to entrust money to me?”
“If I lose all the money I entrusted to you, hyung will try to take responsibility.”
It seems that even the coincidences that I only saw when I was young were all things I did because I had a thought.
“I believe in you too!”
“You entrusted me with money because you are a really trustworthy person. It doesn’t make sense that Hae-sol hyung entrusts money to someone he can’t trust.”
“Ah~ I should have saved some money. I want to put it in too.”
“It happened because you bought the house.”
“Still, there is an opportunity to invest, but it is regrettable that I am the only one who cannot do it.”
What, are you really saying you want to entrust money to me?
“You really want to leave it?”
Of course, leaving money with me would be good for the kids.
Sylvia won’t manage my money carelessly.
If you move funds with me, you will definitely make a lot of money.
But how would they know that?
It wasn’t something they could be as sure of as I was.
“It’s better to leave it to my brother than to deposit it.”
“It’s an atmosphere where everyone leaves. Shall I leave it to you then?”
However, it was really unexpected that even Jeki, except for Kang-jun, who had no money after buying a house, started stepping out.
“Was I an icon of trust?”
“I did not know?”
“Your brother is trustworthy.”
“Honestly, more than Kyung-tae hyung.”
“Hey, why are you hitting me when I’m still?”
“Honestly, you are right. My brother thinks so too.”
“Kuhm!”
It seems that it was obvious that I had social experience.
The members’ trust in me was deeper than I thought.
‘I’m impressed out of nowhere.’
In the end, except for Kangjun, who had spent all his money, all the other kids decided to invest with me.
This money will grow several times later and return to the members.
♧ ♧ ♧
A few days after the day the children’s money was invested.
“I think I did a good job of entrusting it to my brother. Wow~ I thought it was someone else’s story, but there really was someone who approached me saying that I should try investing. How did you know you made money?”
Is it because I invested everything except the money I needed while living?
The children could not be stressed by the sudden large sum of money.
If you have already invested all your money, how will you get the money you don’t have?
“If you receive the settlement later, please take care of that too. I’m scared of too much money, so I don’t think I can keep it, and entrusting it to my mom is out of the question. The only thing I can trust is my brother!”
In particular, there was something that happened to coincidence.
The money entrusted to her mother almost melted like her snow.
She listened to a friend of hers who knew her mother who knew how to deposit the money and put it into her old-fashioned stock.
As soon as Woo-yeon found out about it, he made a fuss to withdraw it immediately, so he had no choice but to lose a little of the principal and take it out.
The shocking graph caused Wooyeon to have nightmares for several days.
In addition, after that day, Woo-yeon kept flattering me, saying that if I looked at me, I was a benefactor.
“I also had a really stupid thing. A kid I don’t remember very well called out of nowhere and asked for money? It’s still a mystery how he got my phone number.”
Maybe the rest of the kids have learned about the fear of money since the coincidence happened. When signing an investment contract, “It’s okay to earn interest.” He said
It seems that he has learned that holding a lot of money in his hands can be very difficult.
Jackie said it would be useless, but it was worth the effort.
