Chapter 444 – Friends (4)
Lee Seok-chan continued with a face that didn’t matter.
“Actually, I can manage the scholarship foundation on my own. I didn’t spend all my money on Nobel Dice.”
“By the way?”
“The Foundation is the story you brought up first. There is no point in doing what you want to do with my money.”
“It doesn’t.”
“So I wanted to do it in a few years, but looking at it now, you have more money than I thought. I thought there were at most twenty or thirty.”
Twenty or thirty, of course, is in billions.
Seo Joo-hwan smiled and shook his phone.
“I bet you didn’t know I was investing this much.”
“Okay. Anyway, the money will do it right away. Let me know if you have any thoughts.”
“Will you take care of it if I give you money?”
“Ok. Establishing a foundation itself is not difficult.”
“OK. We’ll talk about that later. Have a drink today.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Sick.”
“I’m sorry.”
Seo Joo-hwan and Lee Seok-chan laughed and pointed at each other.
Jang Deok-hoon looked at the two in turn, a little lost in the scale that was difficult to follow.
‘I shouldn’t be beaten by my older brothers.’
I decided to offer my unchanging allegiance in the future.
At that time, I looked back at him as if I had suddenly remembered Lee Seok-chan.
“Ah, but he’s a deokhu.”
“Yes?”
“How far did you and Juhee go? It seems like we’ve been dating for quite some time. Have you ever kissed? Just looking at this bastard, it seems like he couldn’t do anything because he was wormwood.”
“…….”
The moment when I was about to think that sometimes it might be better to break up.
Baek!
Seo Joo-hwan slapped Lee Seok-chan in the back of the head.
“Keep it off!”
“You madman. Juhee is my younger sister.”
“Why are you hitting me, you bastard? Jung Ha-yeon is my older sister?”
Seo Joo-hwan flinched and then made an excuse.
“That is different.”
“What’s different, you’re a trash bastard.”
“I don’t know about anyone else, but you call me trash?”
“What are you embarrassed about? Even Amman is not as good as you.”
“Shut up. Are you still busy with work when you went to Busan? Cockerel…….”
Lee Seok-chan was serious.
“Fuck you bastard. I apologize.”
Seo Ju-hwan politely apologized.
“Sorry.”
Jang Deok-hoon, who did not understand what he was saying, just blinked his eyes.

It was when the heavy rain subsided a little that Jang Deok-hoon, who had been drinking together, suddenly stood up. Seo Joo-hee, who had stormed in as if this was an opportunity, greeted them hurriedly and dragged Deok-hoon Jang away.
“Babe, take me away!”
Will it really end with just giving away?
The naive Jang Deok-hoon may really be just that, but his girlfriend Seo Ju-hee was none other than Seo Ju-hwan’s younger sister.
Lee Seok-chan giggled in the room where only the two of them were left.
“Juhee is suffering a lot. Do you think you made up your mind today?”
“I mean.”
“Are you okay?”
“What can I do? They say it’s good.”
“Well, it’s cheesy, but it’s not bad if you’re a Deokhu.”
“Isn’t that just not bad? Rather thank you Deokhoon-ah, cheer up.”
Seo Joo-hwan emptied her mind. Although it was strange to see his younger brother trying to do something with a man, Jang Deok-hun was also his favorite younger brother her. It was rather surprising that he hadn’t crossed the line yet.
Lee Seok-chan suddenly said.
“Deokhun is a good guy.”
“Nothing. There is no man like Deokhoon.”
“Except Deokhoon, everyone else is good friends. Including you.”
“What are you saying all of a sudden?”
As he looked at him with puzzled eyes, Lee Seok-chan broke down and said,
“I feel good because I’m drunk. Jung Ha-yeon seems to be getting better, and I like all my friends. Even though they know they have different last names, they don’t say much, and even when I tell them that they are conglomerates, they remain calm.”
“Even if you didn’t know about the conglomerate, the kids noticed right away that you were rich. You openly spent money and took her to the villa.”
“But. Originally, I didn’t intend to spend money so openly… For some reason, I thought it would be okay.”
For some reason, Seo Joo-hwan stared at Lee Seok-chan, who spoke normally, and then lifted the bottle.
“Receive.”
“Thank you.”
Lee Seok-chan, who received the drink, also filled his glass with his.
When the glasses were clinked, the alcohol seemed to overflow.
Lee Seok-chan, who emptied his glass at once, said with an inappropriately soft smile.
“It was a bit touching that he came running in a month without asking the circumstances.”
“Even if it’s not detailed, everyone knows about Hayeon’s situation. Of course.”
“Damn it. Is it natural for me to suddenly go to my friend’s mother’s grave? Weird place. Weird anyway guys.”
It’s not a funeral home, it’s not common to go to the grave of a friend’s mother who has already passed away, like roasting beans over lightning.
Seo Joo-hwan shrugged his shoulders indifferently.
“Originally, you get together, don’t you? I am unique and you are also unique.”
“Okay. Until high school, only stupid things were twisted. Even if I had Jaebok, I guess I didn’t have Inbok. No, was it because I was sick too?”
“Jaebok or Inbok… Do you believe that too? I’m surprised Could you introduce me to a fortuneteller?”
“Gabriella?”
“Oh, I’ve met you.”
“I hate it because he doesn’t look funny. I can’t get enough of my eyes. Anyway, the things that have some money in the house…….”
“Stop cursing, kid. What are the 3rd generation chaebol saying? And even Gabriela is different now.”
At those words, Lee Seok-chan made a strange expression.
“Did you change again?”
“What am I?”
“Well. I know done.”
“This bastard asks questions alone and throughout the conclusion.”
“Then would you tell me? How did you change it?”
“It just changed because I introduced you to my friends.”
“Friends? Jung Ha-yeon, Ji-kyung, and Su-ah?”
“Uh. And you, too, other teachers, older sisters, older brothers, and younger siblings?”
“Please introduce me to that teacher, older sister, and older brothers. My brother is good too.”
“Suddenly? She tells you in advance, but there is no woman to introduce you to.”
“She said It’s not a girl, it’s this bastard. I want to get to know good people and spend some time together. Please share some of your clothes.”
At the word inbok, Seo Joo-hwan came to mind.
“Do you keep in touch with Sung-geun hyung?”
“I’m not doing well.”
“Don’t ask me to share, take what you have, my God.”
“Ah, a little.”
“Why are you nerdy? Disgusting.”
“I’m drunk. Anyway, if you have good people, introduce me to them. A friend of a friend is a friend.”
Seo Joo-hwan sipped his drink and looked at Lee Seok-chan. Suddenly, what Bae Seong-geun said came to mind. Lee Seok-chan has changed a lot from before. Come to think of it, Lee Chae-hee also told Lee Seok-chan. The face of the little boy who wasn’t cheap was said to have spread out a lot. I don’t know the details, but one thing was clear: Lee Seok-chan was also a guy who lived a complicated life.
‘I’m curious, but I don’t think I’ll tell you. In fact, I don’t think anything will change just because I know.’
Is it necessary to know everything just because we are friends? Just assume that there must have been something in the past and move on. Anyway, the important thing is now.
Seo Joo-hwan nodded his head saying he knew.
“Okay. My friend is your friend Wouldn’t we all meet at least once if we got a chance?”
“Thank you.”
“Stop talking nonsense. That’s my specialty.”
“I must have moved.”
“Okay, how did you do that? You said you were thinking about taking a leave of absence.”
“Ah.”
Lee Seok-chan narrowed his eyes.
“Didn’t you tell me? I dropped out.”
“… What?”
Seo Ju-hwan cleared his ears, wondering if he had heard something wrong. However, Lee Seok-chan put a wedge into it.
“I paid my resignation the other day.”
“Why not. You can take a leave of absence, why are you dropping out?”
When he asked with a puzzled expression, Lee Seok-chan giggled and sipped another drink.
“What are you doing on vacation? I won’t even go back to school.”
“Didn’t you think of your daughter’s diploma?”
“If that was necessary, I would have gone to a better university. In college, I just followed Ha-yeon Jung because I didn’t like meddling at home. I would have reconciled with my father now, I would have run my own company separately. You don’t have to go to college.”
“He’s the one who hits the goal.”
“How are you? Just because I don’t go to school doesn’t mean I can’t see you.”
“…….”
“What’s the matter?”
“No, just. I want you to be right. You can see it even if you don’t go to school.”
Seo Joo-hwan said as if he had a new realization.
Lee Seok-chan looked at him as if he were looking at a strange person.
“Of course. Are you sure you didn’t want to see it?”
“It’s not…….”
“That’s all right. Why don’t you drop out too?”
“Uh?”
Seo Ju-hwan widened his eyes.
“What do you want to play? Rather, it’s strange that you’re still in school. You don’t need a diploma except when you get a job later.”
“Uh… No, even if it’s not a job, it’s social awareness…….”
At those words, Lee Seok-chan looked at him with an absurd face and snorted.
“Damn it. A guy who already has tens of billions of dollars in stocks. And your name is known in the literary world. What kind of social awareness is that guy? A guy who says he knows how to do a lot and wants to do a lot, why is he wasting his time his? What more do you have to gain from college?”
“…….”
Seo Joo-hwan had nothing to say, so he closed his mouth. He was reminded of a fact that he already knew but he was not aware of.
‘Resign….’
An option that was not even in my mind suddenly came to the fore. Unexpectedly, the reason he came to college was because he didn’t want to be as lonely as he before returning. To put it bluntly, he went back to school because he wanted to make friends.
So if you think about the original purpose, there is no problem if you drop out right away. As Lee Seok-chan said, it is because he and his friends are not so shallow that they have already dropped out.
“Hey, Joo-hwan.”
Lee Seok-chan’s voice broke my thoughts.
I looked up to see why he called, and Lee Seok-chan, who had turned red from alcohol, spoke in a subdued voice.
“Thank you for being friends with me.”
“…….”
Seo Joo-hwan did not answer for a while, scratching the corners of his eyes, then said without even realizing it.
“Crazy. You bastard, why are you doing this today?”
When I spat out abusive words out of indescribable strangeness, Lee Seok-chan spat out abusive words.
“Thank you, you bastard.”
“I know, so shut up. Thank you too, asshole.”
“Okay.”
“Uh.”
Anyway, why can’t boys be honest without cursing even when they’re drunk? Suddenly, a sense of bewilderment came over me. If you listen to the reviews around you, you may not know Lee Seok-chan, but he had a disease that made unfamiliar noises quite casual, but today was not the day at all.
Seo Joo-hwan picked up a bottle of alcohol that had little left in its contents. Only two cups came out. He poured into each glass and clinked glasses.
Lee Seok-chan, who emptied his last glass, stood up.
“Now I have to go too.”
“Is it raining outside? Go to sleep.”
“What do you think?”
“It’s kind of embarrassing, so get out of here quickly.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Don’t get lost on your way.”
“Eungki Lee. Oh, let’s go on a trip together before the kids start school.”
“Ocean?”
“No, I went to the sea last year, so this time to the mountains. There is a cottage in the valley.”
“Okay.”
I made a rough travel appointment.
“I’m going.”
“Okay.”
Lee Seok-chan walked dangerously through the storm. He staggered like a drunken gait, and at one point it seemed that he was about to fall.
*
Ding-dong.
Suddenly the doorbell rang.
The reason why the doorbell rings is new, because everyone in his house knows the password, so there were more cases in which he entered his house without permission.
Seo Joo-hwan stumbled and opened the front door. Then, a very proud-looking cat-like beauty waved her hand her. Her shy smile was so pretty that she took her hand her and pulled her into her arms her.
