Chapter 14: The Autumn Eve of Each One (End) 2/2
PS: 4K, busy in the morning, no chance to update.
Besides, has it been heavy lately? So let Lance come out and sell Moe......
"Fireworks......
There was a warm air flow blowing in his ears, and he turned his head slightly, and in the darkness behind him, in the flash of light radiating from afar, Jisoo's eyes were bright.
"Do you like it?"
"Loved it...... When I was a child, every autumn and Spring Festival, fireworks would be set off in the shops near my home, shopping malls farther away, or parks and other places, and at that time, the streets were full of crackling sounds, and the sky of Busan seemed to be illuminated...... At that time, in my eyes, the whole world was as lively as fireworks exploding in the sky......"
Her narration voice was soft, but every word was like the most powerful hand, erasing the dusty shackles and uncovering the picture scroll of memory.
The people around me, looking at the light bursting from the sky in the distance, were amazed, stopped and looked over there, some held up their cameras and DVs, and some raised their hands to say something to their companions with excited expressions.
Several children screamed and ran by, and a young mother chased after them helplessly but with a smile, telling them to be careful.
On the road next to the sidewalk, the lights of the vehicles came and went quickly, and the fireworks in the distance reflected all this in his eyes.
The vision was a little blurry, it was shaking and changing. Some of the pictures began to disintegrate, and then reassembled, and the entire world became a huge building block, and the scene of memory interception gradually replaced everything in front of him, as if reproducing the scene of more than ten years ago.
Then, the heart was empty.
In his thoughts, he didn't want Jisoo to come with him, the city of Busan, which entrusted their childhood and growth. All the ups and downs. Those memories are wealth to normal people, but poison to her.
But blindly escaping is not a way after all, so after hesitating, I still brought her to the tomb this time. Watch her cry heartbreakingly at her mother's grave. And just as he expected. Walking again onto the same bridge they had walked so many times as children, she began to reminisce about the past.
“…… At that time, the family had no money, but my mother never wronged us. Every holiday, even if it is difficult to get around, she will take us out to play and buy us the things we crave...... Black wheels, beef intestines, spicy fried rice cakes, until later my mother opened her own barbecue restaurant...... That store should have been closed a long time ago, or ......"
There was a wet mark on the back of his neck.
Ahn Joon-hyuk couldn't see behind him, but he could feel Jisoo's cheek on his shoulder as he spoke, tearing silently.
"Jisoo, don't talk about it......"
Jisoo didn't listen to him, sniffed, and continued: "That day, my mother and I were going to go to the fish shop to buy ingredients, and my mother told me that we would do it for a while, save enough for the first phase of tuition, and when I finished attending the graduation ceremony, I would close the store and go with me to Paju (near the 38th parallel, where most of the main armored troops and mechanized troops are stationed, and it is also the place with the highest density of mines in the world) to see you...... When I was walking down the street, I didn't know what the road was about, and the car suddenly appeared, and my mother and I didn't react at all...... If it weren't for me going to college, if that store would have been closed a long time ago, if we hadn't gone out that day......"
She was crying bitterly, unable to speak, incoherent, and Ahn Joonhto's hands were a little stiff in the crook of her legs.
Although Jisoo and his mother had been involved in a car accident for a long time, he had already received details from the traffic, but when he heard it again, some dark places in his mind were still boiling with anger and sadness.
Anger is hatred, and grief is regret.
Jisoo's pain is that she thinks that her mother's death has her reasons, but his pain is that she clearly knows the Tao in a dream, but she really only treats it as a bizarre dream, and she doesn't pay attention to it and doesn't take action.
It was as if a piece of my heart had been gnawed off, and it hurt violently.
But he can't let his emotions be drowned out by pain, if he collapses, then Jisoo will also collapse, and he brings her back so that she can slowly face the past and eliminate the last trace of shadow in her heart, instead of letting remorse swallow her up and make her fall into the abyss again.
He beckoned, and the car behind him that had been following him immediately drove over, and the person in charge of J.H. Busan, who had been his driver for a day, pushed the door and got out of the car with great eyes, helped open the rear door, and saw Ahn Jun-hyuk carrying Ahn Ji-so into the car, so he stepped aside, lit a cigarette, and watched around.
The doors closed, blocking the light, and darkness enveloped it like a tide under a bridge.
"Listen, Jiso......"
He cupped his sister's cheek and made her look at him. Jisoo struggled, tears streaming down her face. The carriage was shaking slightly, and after a while, he was heard sternly scolding: "Ahn Ji-so, listen!"
He hadn't been so harsh with her since the car accident, most recently when she was in a rebellious period in middle school.
She was frightened, and the crying "woo" stopped abruptly.
"You're not wrong, with the situation in our family at the time, if you want to turn over, you have to go to college, just like I have to finish my military service before I finish my studies. There is nothing wrong with that store, it is the result of my mother's struggle, which supported and raised our family. There are not so many ifs in the world, if you really want to say if, if you really want to say wrong, the fault is the person who caused the accident......" Ahn Junhyuk's expression gradually softened, his thick palm rubbing his sister's tear-stained cheek, his thumb brushing her eyes.
“…… Jisoo, it's been almost 2 years, and although I haven't said it, my brother has always wanted you to get out of the shadow of the car accident...... I watched you go from being silent to slowly smiling again, watching you go from being reluctant to step out of the door to reconnecting with the outside world, and being like a normal girl again, communicating with people, joking, and playing with each other...... They are what sustain me in my peace of mind!"
"Jisoo, you said the twins have telepathy. Do you know what is the greatest pursuit of my life?"
Time seemed to start to get messy at this moment, and in the distance, a car approached, the lights dragging his shadow and silhouette brightly, and she saw his side face flickering and dimming, and the light changed, but no matter what, some of the expressions on it never changed.
It's like a year and a half ago, also in Busan. In the ward of that hospital. He crouched down in front of her, wiping the soup that had spilled when he knocked over the spoon for her, and raised his face with a pleading look.
Tears flowed down again. Hanging sparkling on the cheeks. Jisoo pursed her lips. His eyes were so hazy that he couldn't see anything, and in front of him, there was only a vague but brilliant light.
"Hmm......" she wiped her eyes hard with the back of her hand. The tears took over again, and she wiped it again, the tip of her nose was red, and she choked up and said, "Brother, I'm sorry...... Sorry ......"
……
When the fireworks in Seoul exploded in the sky, in a luxurious private room in Cheongdam-dong, Ribeira Hotel, Lee so-man raised his wine glass and smiled under the colorful glow outside the window behind him: "Everyone, I wish our cause more and more prosperity, I will do it first!"
"Chairman Lee was polite. ”
"!"
At the huge dining table, there are 7 or 8 well-dressed young and middle-aged people, most of whom have one trait in common - the self-confidence and reserve of successful people.
Present are the major shareholders or representatives of SM Company.
At the beginning of the month, SM's revenue for the third quarter of 2005 successfully broke through the threshold of 3 billion won in a single quarter, the popularity of Ahn Junhyuk's two TV dramas and one album, and the impact of TVXQ's popularity gradually began to ferment, finally freed SM from the deficit quagmire in the same period last year, and according to the company's optimistic estimates, SM's total annual revenue is expected to exceed 10 billion won in 2005.
This is a number that is difficult to reach after the Internet hit the record industry in 03, so there is naturally reason to celebrate.
However, for a long time, the schedules of shareholders have been staggered, and the holding of the celebration banquet has finally been delayed until the autumn evening.
After a glass of wine and listening to the polite greetings of several shareholders or representatives, Li Xiuman smiled.
Naturally, the banquet was not limited to this private room, but there was also a hall outside that was completely enclosed, and the buffet-style dinner was entertained by employees of SM headquarters, offices and branches in major cities, as well as overseas business and other departments.
SM may be harsh, but it's never stingy.
Today he is also very happy, the company's performance is booming, and he himself has gradually regained control of the company after some twists and turns, which can be seen from the fact that he came forward to entertain major shareholders in the box.
However, there are also dissatisfactions.
Among the shareholders present, there was no Ahn Junhyuk!
The other party is said to have gone back to his hometown to sweep the grave, but many things, the more simple the reason, the more complex the associations of others.
Thinking about it, he looked to his left, and Kim Young-min, who was sitting there, also happened to look over. The loser, who used to be the biggest opponent and now sat in the president's position, but slowly stopped speaking, smiled at him and raised the wine glass in his hand.
also smiled and drank a glass from afar, but Li Xiuman's heart was a little low.
Kim Young-min, probably taking Ahn Jun-hyuk's non-appearance at the banquet as a signal!
Especially recently, there has been a lot of media talk about the collaboration between J.H and YG.
"Brother Xiuman......"
Just as he was thinking, a call from the side pulled his flying mind back. Li Xiuman hurriedly turned his head to look, and a middle-aged man clinked glasses with him, "SM really needs to be in your hands to exert the strongest strength!"
This middle-aged man is the third largest shareholder in the company, the chairman of Jiang's Real Estate Industrial Co., Ltd., alongside Ai Hui - of course, if there is no Ahn Junhyuk, the other party is actually the second largest shareholder in the company.
Last year, when the struggle with Kim Young-min was at its most intense, he also wooed each other, but unfortunately because of an accident, they parted ways with each other, and it was not until recently that he regained control of the company through Ahn Jun-hyuk's support, and the other party got closer again.
It is the norm to divide and merge in the shopping mall, and Li Xiuman is not angry because of the other party's estrangement, and when he heard the other party's words, he immediately smiled and said: "Brother Shi Shou said that he was joking, I am just making a small fuss, and Brother Shi Shou's development this year is enviable! The real estate industry is changing with each passing day, rising day by day, Mayor Lee Myung-bak's series of policies have dug up a big cake for the industry, and Brother Shi Shou has to wake up laughing in his dreams!"
Seoul's renovation plan is now in progress to the last phase of the project, and the large-scale construction promoted by Lee Myung-bak has also ushered in the most golden period, South Korea's real estate has become the most profitable industry this year, Lee so-man said that he is envious, but not entirely touted.
"I was lucky enough to set foot on the east wind. Jiang Shishou said modestly, and then his expression was a little gloomy: "It's a pity ......"
Li Xiuman knew that he was gloomy about Lu, the only son of the Jiang family, who was seriously injured by gangsters in a nightclub in Busan last year, and it is said that he has not woken up until now, and has become a vegetative person.
At that time, Jiang Shishou and him gradually drifted apart, most of the reason was that the other party begged him, but he didn't make a lot of help because he didn't want to make a fuss.
However, there is no point in saying this now, the past should not be an obstacle to the future, and he did not mention the other party's troubles, but continued to tout, and after a while, the atmosphere was alive again.
When the banquet was at its hottest in the hotel, the lights were bright, the prosperity was full of eyes, and the aroma of food filled the space, opposite the hotel, a young man came out of the supermarket with a bag of dry bread, came to a car in the parking lot, opened the door, and got in.
Then, in the back seat of the carriage, an unkempt black figure sat up sharply, snatched the bag of dry bread and devoured it.
The young man was not surprised, opened a can of beer casually and handed it over, and immediately looked at the golden Ribeira Hotel under the night sky, and sighed: "Brother Lance, how long will I follow that surnamed Jiang?
As soon as he finished speaking, he received a slap on the back of the head.
", who are you talking about like a dog?" Lance poured a large sip of beer, slapped his backhand again, and then burped: "If Brother Junhyuk doesn't solve him for a day, you'll have to follow." ”
"But it's so troublesome, it's as good as before, who are you going to do, a few of our brothers will kill them when they lift the machete, and they don't know the of chopping, it's a hundred!"
"Smack!"
Lance slapped him again, "Trouble, so you're the younger brother, I'm the eldest brother, and Junhyuk is my eldest brother, Got.it?"
“…… I don't understand it, but I feel like it's so profound......"
"Society is developing, and the underworld also needs to use its brains...... Alas, there is no common language with an uneducated person like you!"
The younger brother looked ignorant, but also a little awe-inspired, and didn't dare to speak anymore, the carriage fell silent, the younger brother monitored the hotel, and Lance continued to gobble up.
I don't know how long it took, the little brother spoke out again in confusion:
"Speaking of which...... Brother Lans, you're the big brother, why are you still nibbling on my bread and sleeping in my car?"
"Smack!"
Not surprisingly, he was slapped again.
"You don't understand the world realm of the eldest brother!"
Ending with such a disdainful sentence, Lance finished his beer and threw away the can, his face full of sadness from an angle that the younger brother could not see.
