Returned to Being Handsome 421

Chapter 421 – Chapter 421. The Hypocritical World

After having fun at the water park, Ha Eun-seo and I headed to the pension.

The pension was a bit far from the water park.

I rented a foreign car to feel like going out, and we went to the pension and settled down.

The accommodation was very close to the beach.

After parking, Ha Eun-seo and I came out after resting for a while at the accommodation, and around dinnertime, we went out again and decided to grill clams around the accommodation.

We ended up drinking soju while eating grilled clams.

After going to the water park and looking around the beach, it was already dark outside, and in that atmosphere, we ended up eating clams and drinking alcohol at a grilled clam restaurant.

The clam grill house had indoor tables and outdoor tables.

Just like when we were playing, it was the timing when the rain stopped, so we chose a table outside to enjoy the sea breeze from a clam grill restaurant not far from the beach.

“Ah~, it was really fun.”

“Sure~.”

Ha Eun-seo was still excited.
She, like her, was also in a pretty moody mood.

We started talking about the water park and the beach we looked around for a while.

Especially since we had a lot of fun at the water park, we mainly talked about it.

“What kind of bikini are you ashamed of?”

“Hohohoho! Did you?”

“Eunseo, what did you enjoy the most?”

“Um~.”

She thinks a little and then answers.

“The one I rode last! Hohoho, I was so scared I almost cried~”

“I see. It looks like a long slide, but once you get on it, there’s no roller coaster?”

“Hohohohohoho! That’s right.”

We talked amicably.

Such a drinking party grew more mature.

Time passed from night to later night.
Outside, it ripens from black darkness to blacker darkness.

Ha Eun-seo, slightly intoxicated, said while gently touching my arm.

“You really have a great body. I thought you were looking at the body of an athlete.”

She continued.

“I don’t think you have to lose weight to look handsome and pretty. But, I think it’s good for yourself to take care of your health to a certain extent.”

I also agree with that thought.

People have freedom.

I think being fat is a person’s freedom, and I don’t think that I’m sending a bad look at fat people.

I don’t think it’s good for others to interfere with other people’s bodies like that, but I think it’s definitely right to take care of your health.

For yourself.
When fatty liver or something like this occurs due to cholesterol, the body may gradually become difficult.
It may put more strain on the kidneys and the like.

I value health

“You have to be healthy, because you have to protect your health while you have it.”

For the first couple of hours, we chatted without realizing the passage of time while talking about pleasant things, and after we got drunk to a certain extent, we began to talk seriously about health, leading to serious conversations.

“Health, economic power, love, I think these three are the most important things in life.”

I said while eating a piece of seafood that came out as a side dish.

“Suddenly, I thought about it. What would life be like without at least one of the three?”

I wanted to talk about health first.

“When your health suffers, no matter what you do, it’s no fun. Even if you have a stomachache, no good food or fun games are meaningless.”

“That’s right.”

Ha Eun-seo nodded and agreed.

Humans belong to organisms.
The body is organically connected, and it is painful even if only one part is hit.

Keeping healthy is a matter that should be prioritized more than doing any other fun things.

Then it was about economic power.

“And without economic power, it’s a world where people can’t be treated.”

Having said that, I recalled the days gone by.
Especially during school years.
The time when you could think you had the whole world even if you had nothing, just one friendship.

“When I was young, I thought it was okay to have money or not.”

“Whoops… Me too.”

Ha Eun-seo laughed.
Maybe she was thinking the same thing as me.
And she had her say.

“But, life has changed.”

I nodded her head and told her.

“Money is not just a medium of exchange, it is used to control other people’s time. And furthermore, it becomes an indulgence that makes sins disappear, and it becomes a spear that pierces others or a shield that blocks that spear. .”

Eunseo Ha also responded as if she understood what I was saying.

“I didn’t know. I didn’t expect something like this.”

“I know.”

One thing is certain, it seems that you have to earn money with your own hands to find out.

I also received pocket money when I was in school, and since I was in my early 20s, I had studied many things, but at that time I had little experience in the truth, so people were just as good, and the work was good too.

However, as I reached my mid-twenties and beyond, I began to think that people weren’t always good, and work wasn’t always enjoyable.

I’m a respectable man, so few people touch me, but when I look around me, there are often cases where I feel like ‘If I were in that situation, I would have really turned it all down’ because I was being treated harshly by a superior or a customer while I was working.

And I said the next thing.

“And I think you need a relationship too.”

It seems difficult to distinguish all three.
If you have to count it, it is likely to be health, but it is clear that economic power and love will accompany it to enrich your life.

An economically prosperous life will protect me from all the crazy things that pressure me at every moment, and meeting good love is really a great mental strength.

No matter how much money you have, if you don’t like someone and don’t receive sincere love, you’ll feel pretty lonely.

This does not mean that it is good to have no money and only love, but it means that it is better to create a life in which economic power and love can go hand in hand.

We had so many serious conversations while drinking and enjoying the huge amounts of grilled clams from the clam grill.

“Mmm~! Delicious!”

Ha Eun-seo was very tasty, and even gave me one more.

“Ah, try it, ah!”

“Oh~.”

Ha Eun-seo is delighted to see me receiving and eating.

“Hohohoho! You’re eating well~”

“It’s good.”

Eating the grilled clams, I continued.
Suddenly, a story came to mind.

“Eunseo, do you know how much the private education market is for a year?”

Ha Eun-seo thought deeply.
It looked like it wanted to fit.

“Because our country has a very strong passion for education… Han, 20 trillion?”

Hearing her words, I was stunned.
The correct answer is, the size of the private education market is 20.4 trillion won. The numbers were almost identical.

“Did you take it?”

“Uh.”

“Wow… That’s great. Almost got it right. That’s about it.”

“Come, ho-ho-ho!”

As I chewed on her clam chowder, I spoke her words to her while holding onto her chopsticks.

“By the way, Eunseo, what’s interesting is that there are statistics on the business. I’ve never been to a business before, have I?”

“Huh.”

Really.
Because, I have no reason to go to an entertainment establishment.

Even if I was just walking around, many people of the opposite sex approached me, and it was like that when I was preparing for the civil service exam, but a lot of beauties came to me even though I was just studying, and they even had sex with me.

In this situation, there is absolutely no reason for me to go to an entertainment establishment.

In relation to that, I wanted to tell her about a report I had read about the comparison between the private education market and the entertainment market.

“Then, how much do you think the prostitution market will be in a year?

“Well… If the private education market is about 20 trillion, is that about 3 trillion?”

I shook my head.
And she answered right away.

“37 trillion.”

“Omg…”

Ha Eun-seo looked surprised.

“You say that our country is so passionate about education and spends like crazy on private education? But in reality, the prostitution market is almost twice as big.”

“Can’t you catch it?”

“Huh.”

I took a deep breath and then spoke.

“It’s a contradiction.”

I continued.

“If you have economic power, it is a country where you can fully enjoy the world of entertainment that is almost twice as much as private education.”

I spoke as I filled Ha Eun-seo’s glass and filled mine as well.

“If you live without the opposite, you made it difficult to solve alone.”

We then toasted.
Have a drink.

In a way, it has nothing to do with me.
I am a handsome man, and I am earning my own money, and the amount is growing.

However, there are times when I feel sad that the world in the lower town, where I lived innocently, seems to be getting more and more broken as I go higher and higher.

Being poor is not good.
But it is true that the poorer you are, the more exploited you are.

It’s not money.
Time.

You spend all your time working, and you have to keep getting poorer all the time.
Like that all the time.

It would be better if the plunderer did not at least pretend to be nice.

Rather than exploiting it for your sake, I would rather say that it is exploitation because of my greed.

A world of endless hypocrisy.
I can and you can’t.
I live like this and you can’t do much less.

The world to say.

For decades after I was born, no matter what policies the higher ups pursued, the lower people always suffered.

It was the same way before that.

Even in the Joseon Dynasty, farmers were always exploited by hypocritical people, and it was the same even in the previous world.

And the intensity seems to be getting stronger.

“It seems to be getting more and more polarized.”

After drinking, I ate a spoonful of clear soup made with lily shells and spoke.

“The gap between the haves and the have-nots is getting wider, and it will be a world where only those who have do everything, and those who do not have more and more restraints.”

Polarization.

Great people all agree to block it, block it, but there is no real blockage at all, and they always divide factions and say that their side is innocent and the other side is very bad. It is common for the rich and the poor to feel only a growing gap.

There’s no answer.
And, there is an answer.

Ultimately, you have to change yourself.

There is no answer to changing the world, but even if I cannot change the world, it is possible with my choice and concentration to develop myself so that I will not at least be in a position where I am severely exploited.

I believe.
Potential of each human being.

Not only me, but all human beings have different great talents and the strength to work on them.

“It’s fortunate. I made a lot of money. If it wasn’t… What would it be like?”

When I said it, Ha Eun-seo said a little playfully.

“Hehe, let’s do well in the future!”

“Yes. That’s how it should be.”

As if to thank Ha Eun-seo for pouring me a drink earlier, this time he himself filled my glass and spoke.

“I’ll have to look forward to the day when you become more successful and it’ll be difficult to make even a Zone Tube video by yourself. Then I’ll get my share too, right?”

Haha! Yes. Before that, aren’t you saying that you won’t be able to do video editing after you hit the jackpot and set up a cafe?”

Ha Eun-seo took a drink.
I made a toast, clapping my glass against hers.

“Don’t worry~, even if I become the boss, I’ll accept your contract. Hohoho! Wouldn’t it be fun just to see your face while editing?”

“Good.”

We had a one-shot.

“Would you like to try this clam too? I really like this.”

“Huh!”

I chose the grilled clams that I was impressed with from the variety of clams for Ha Eun-seo and served them on the plate in front of her.

Ha Eun-seo ate it and was delighted.

“Mum mum… Um~! Sweet taste!”

Haha, isn’t it?”

While eating the clams, I also scooped up the soup and ate it.

Her time with her was enjoyable.
A funny story or a serious story.

Even after that, we talked about this and that, and we spent time going deeper and deeper into the night.
