C 175
Crack!
"I told you not to cause an accident!"
My eyes widened at the sudden outburst. In front of me were people who were no longer my family.
My father, who was always quiet, held his beloved golf club in one hand and was furious, unable to contain his anger, and there was my brother crouched on the ground in shock.
"The house has been so noisy lately. Did you spend money on a girl and take out a loan? You're crazy!"
"Honey, please stop...!"
The golf club kept making a rough sound. When I saw it, I couldn't help but frown.
"The other idiot knows nothing, so he gets into stocks and loses all his money, and you're so crazy about women that you borrow money like this?!"
My mother clung to my father's arm, but that was all. There was no way my mother, who had lived a life of obedience, could stop my father now.
"Damn, I can't do this anymore."
The first child, Cha Yido, who was hit while crouching, gritted his teeth.
As soon as the sound stopped, Cha Yido snatched the golf club from my father's hand and hit him as best he could.
Bam!
My father took a blow to the arm and staggered.
"Ah!"
"Was it my father's fault for closing the business in the first place, or is it my fault? Damn, seriously. I'll leave this dirty house."
"What did you just say?!"
"Why did my damn sister die? It's all my father and mother's fault, isn't it?"
This guy is pretty good at talking nonsense. I silently watched Cha Yido arguing with a ridiculous feeling.
"Hey, Cha Hyun. Come on, let's get out of this dirty house."
"Oh...? Me too?"
"Do you want to stay here and be treated like this?"
Cha Hyun pursed his lips as he looked into Cha Yido's stern eyes.
Cha Hyun, who hesitated as if this situation were very difficult, slowly shook his head in the face of Cha Yido's hard gaze.
"Then pack your bags and get out."
"Out, out! Everyone out! They say raising children is useless, but these bastards are so desperate for women and money that they've gone mad!"
"I'll leave even if you don't tell me to."
Even if you ask me to stay in this house, I won't.
Cha Yido and Cha Hyun quickly disappeared to the second floor.
"Is this the gift?"
The business seemed to be going well, so why did this happen?
My mother, who was sitting on the floor examining my father's wounds, opened her mouth carefully.
"They'll be back soon. Because they're kids who've never done anything difficult..."
"Whether they come back or not, who would have expected this?! Are they ignoring me just because my business went bankrupt?"
"That's not... yes. Have you found a new investor?"
Bam!
As soon as my mother finished speaking, her cheek was violently slapped. She held her cheek with embarrassed eyes.
"Honey...?"
"Who would invest in a company that you never know when it will fail? I don't know why all my business partners suddenly stopped working. I don't understand... After Cha Miso died..."
My father seemed about to go crazy. This is the first time I've seen my father like this.
"Is it a curse? Maybe it's a curse. She cursed us when she died!"
My father let out a sound like a scream. My mother, who was completely pale, looked at my father in disbelief.
As I blinked for a moment, the scenery changed in an instant.
This time, Cha Yido, in a baseball cap, was seen standing next to a beautiful woman.
With just a pair of sportswear, he looked like someone who had run away from home, as if he had thrown away all his usual outfits.
He was pale and trembling with anger.
"What...?"
"Let's break up. Actually, going out with you was a bit difficult. Except for your face, everything else is inadequate. You're smart, but your personality is crap, so why do you like women so much? Plus, your 'X' is small."
The woman's eyes glanced down at Cha Yido's lower body and then returned.
Her smiling face was really pretty. It wouldn't have been strange for Cha Yido, who had always liked beautiful women, to fight over her.
"This is really...! How much did I do for you...?! I came all the way here because of you!"
"How much did you do? You only did it because you liked it. Oh, I've been thinking about it for a long time, but don't you look so good when you insult me? And what can I do? I got paid too, so I had to work."
"Did they pay you...?"
"Yes, they told me to throw you into the depths of hell. Oh, come to think of it, there were people looking for you, so I brought them here."
The lovely young woman smiled cheerfully.
"W-What is this...?"
"You borrowed quite a bit of money. It was worth about a billion won, so I guess the family was pretty trustworthy. Thanks to you, I bought a supercar."
"Finally found you, Cha Yido, you thief."
A gang of black-clad thugs jumped in and grabbed Cha Yido by the shoulders in an instant. Cha Yido's face turned pale.
"Honey, you always told me I had the perfect face to sell my body. I'll pay you back the same way."
The woman laughed.
"You have a smooth face too, perfect for selling your body."
"Hey, hey...! This is insane. Give me my money back! Why are you doing this to me? Why me...?!"
"So why did you do that to your sister? After hearing that story, I felt so bad that I couldn't bear it. I've always hated people who don't even know the subject."
The woman's eyes were round with malice.
"If I could throw human scum like you to the bottom, they'd give me a few billion won, so how could I not do it?"
Ring-!
The woman's phone lit up with a small notification sound.
"Look, the money has been deposited. I need to buy an apartment in Gangnam and start a business. George, a bastard like you, is good at business."
"Hey, hey...! Don't do this, I'll do anything, anything... if you let me live."
Cha Yido, who the thugs held by the neck, paled and opened his mouth.
"Well, no one said they were going to kill you. You said you'd do anything, right? You can also go and sell yourself until you're nothing but a rag. So goodbye, it was fun."
"Who the hell ordered this?!"
"Well, a man who's crazy for a woman like you. Oh, I heard your younger brother was caught using money to buy stocks. I guess he's worse than you."
Cha Yido struggled when he heard the sound of the heels walking away.
"Curse!!"
Cha Yido, who fought and screamed, was beaten for a long time by the surrounding sticks before falling lifeless.
"You have a smooth face, so I'm sure you'll get a lot of compliments. Why do you hate it so much? Once you educate yourself, you'll be impressed and like everything."
"Ugh..."
The last time I saw Cha Yido while crying, my vision suddenly changed again.
The image had changed.
This time it was a completely white hospital. As always, the problem was that it was a shared room, not an individual one.
And it was a rather poor environment. It would be more accurate to say that it was old.
"Oh, grandma, please stay still. I really don't know why you're making a mess everywhere when you're not feeling well."
"You, bitch, do you know who I am? I, I...!"
"Yes, you're a great person. I get it, so shut up."
"Damn bastards!"
It was the grandmother.
Perhaps to prevent ulcers, the caregivers placed her face down on the bed.
"Ah, seriously. Why doesn't that son of an entrepreneur come? That old lady is quite behind on money right now, isn't she?"
It was hard to believe that she had ever been a noble old lady.
As if they didn't want to see her, the care workers had run curtains everywhere, so the only world she could see was through the curtains of pure white.
"That bitch, that bitch is the problem. Even after her death, she cursed me... Ruined my family..."
At that moment, someone entered through the tightly closed curtain.
"Son...?"
"Mother..."
It was my father. I don't know how he got in, but he looked quite different from the last time I saw him.
He had lost weight, his face was very thin, his expression was somber, and his always neat appearance was a mess.
"That's right. That girl cursed us. First, my mother... The problem is that you don't like that girl. If it weren't for my mother, she wouldn't have cursed our house. So, if my mother dies, she'll forgive us too..."
It was at that moment.
My father took out a pillow and started pressing it onto my grandmother's face.
"Crazy..."
What are you doing?
I reached out in confusion, but the scene that only showed what had already happened prevented me from intervening.
The translucent hands dispersed.
"U-up, agh...!"
"With this, my wife will come back, and my business will return to normal... Money too..."
My father mumbled almost as if he were crazy. The body of the grandmother, who had been struggling, suddenly went limp.
In the end, while my father's eyes shone with madness, the surroundings turned dark, as if the curtain of a play had been lowered.
Crick-
With the crackling sound of the radio, a screen that looked like a large movie theater unfolded before my eyes.
This time it was news.
"Breaking news. It has been revealed that the CEO of a certain company killed his mother for insurance money, shocking the community."
"Breaking news. It has been revealed that the CEO who was known for having killed his mother for insurance money died while in custody. The police are doing their best to determine the exact circumstances of the incident and to find the CEO's wife and two children, who were discovered consuming drugs..."
Braaam!
The screen suddenly turned off. I sat in silence in the darkness and kept my mouth shut.
I have a lot to think about.
Did I want it to be so messy? Did I want them to be punished like this?
I felt both delighted and bitter at the same time.
"What do you think? Are you satisfied with my gift?"
Arma suddenly appeared.
"I heard that that pretty boy worked quite hard to make the arrangements while he was there. He used his power in many ways to spend a lot of money."
"Lucilion..."
"Yes, so everything he said was sincere. The pretty boy I know never lies."
Said Arma.
"Yes, I should thank him."
To Lucillion, who did his best in his job.
"Thank you, Arma."
"Well, as long as my baby is happy, it's enough."
Arma smiled cheerfully, rubbing under her nose.
While smiling awkwardly at her, the light enveloped me again.
When I opened my eyes again, the night had already fallen, and the sun was rising through the window.
