"Jason, let's go play baseball together after class, do you want to go."

A tall black guy, wearing a Yankees baseball cap and holding gloves and a baseball in his hand, looked like a pitcher, talking to Kim Do-joon with a smile on his face, and kept gesturing and making a gesture ready to pitch.

Kim Do-jun looked at the black guy while packing his schoolbag, carrying it behind him, and said with a smile: "Throw it over, I'll vote for one, you can catch it, I'll go, how about it, Benson." ”

"Forget it, I won't catch your ball, I can't catch it, I don't want to lose this person, what a monster."

After speaking, he was ready to leave directly, since Kim Dojun was not interested in going, why should he care about him, he could leave quickly.

Kim Do-jun couldn't help but smile bitterly, not that he didn't want to go, but that he had to go to a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown to wash dishes after school this afternoon.

Seven dollars an hour, which is already a very high price.

For his underage self, he has already broken the law, so Kim Do-joon cherishes this opportunity very much.

And the boss is a very good Chinese uncle, every night will leave a dinner for himself, is his favorite Chinese food, sweet and sour pork, mapo tofu or something, this is a very luxurious thing.

Not only can I save my living expenses, but I can also work to earn money to train people, so why not do it.

As for the age, "Huh! ”

Who cares here, there are more children from poor families like them, do you want to sit and eat by yourself?

Shaking his head speechlessly, he returned to the dormitory, put down his school bag, and hurriedly rode his bicycle to Chinatown.

It has been more than two years since he came to the United States, and Kim Do-jun has found that he is more and more adaptable to life in the United States, with free space, perfect education system, and comprehensive welfare system, so that he can study, make friends, and recharge without worries, so as to realize his dreams.

"Jason, you're here, you're so punctual at work, there are few children like you now, the salary has been put in your cupboard, and dinner is in the kitchen at the back, let's hurry up and change clothes and eat!"

After the mustachioed uncle watched Kim Do-jun come in, he showed a slight smile, patted Kim Do-jun, and said enthusiastically, although there was a little accent in it, it looked a little lame.

"Thank you, Uncle Li, I'll go right away."

After saying that, he immediately bowed and walked to the kitchen, humming a song that I don't know who sang, but it was very cheerful and the rhythm was very good, and it seemed that Kim Do-joon was in a very good mood.

When I opened the wardrobe, I saw a white envelope standing inside, picked it up, opened the envelope and looked at it, a smile appeared on the corner of my mouth, and then carefully put it in my pocket and went to eat.

The salary system in the United States is very flexible, some are paid once a week, some are paid once every two weeks, and of course, there are monthly salaries and annual salaries, and they are paid very punctually.

Uncle Li of the Chinese restaurant pays Kim Do-jun every two weeks every time, never in arrears, and sometimes deliberately counts a few extra hours for himself.

So Kim Do-jun has always been very grateful to Uncle Li from the bottom of his heart, thinking that when he came to apply for the job, Uncle Li said that he didn't agree with anything, saying that it was a crime, and he was too young to endure this hardship at all, and he should study hard at this age, but in the end he was still persuaded by himself, thinking of this, Kim Do-jun couldn't help laughing, Uncle Li is really a very, very good person.

After eating and cleaning up, Kim Dojun hurriedly went to the back of the kitchen to start washing the dishes, it is now evening, wait a minute is the peak period of dinner at night, many dishes and chopsticks at noon have not been washed, he must speed up, take rubber gloves, tie his apron, squat on the ground, and start to wash the dishes seriously, sometimes it is too late to wipe when the sweat drips down, and the sweat droplets drip directly into the basin.

At half past nine in the evening, the hotel began to close, and suddenly I heard the sound of a quarrel in front of me, wiped my hands and hurried over to have a look.

"I don't care who you are, you kid is very bold, you don't give money to eat on my side, you are the first, if you don't pay the money today, you don't want to walk out of this door." Uncle Li, the mustache, said angrily.

Kim Do-jun walked in and took a look, and asked the waiter next to him, it turned out that after a kid came in, he ordered a bunch of Chinese food, and devoured it for a while, but in the end, he didn't have the money to pay the bill, and he wanted to slip away directly, but he was directly stopped by Uncle Mustache.

No wonder Uncle Mustache is so angry, it turned out that he came to eat the overlord meal, and ate the overlord meal in Chinatown, this young man is really bold, take a closer look at this man is about twenty-six or seventeen years old, how can he be so depressed, he doesn't even have money to eat, this year, the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, I can't control it, I still don't make trouble, the dishes and chopsticks haven't been washed yet, hurry up and go to work.

"Hey, I knew I wouldn't come here for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be opened by the Chinese." The young man muttered for a while and whispered, but he didn't expect to be listened to by Kim Do-jun.

This guy is Korean, so it seems that he has to help, and the accent is from Seoul, forget it, meeting abroad is also fate, so if you can help, you can help. Kim Do-joon thought about it and walked over.

"Hello, are you Korean?" Kim Do-joon asked suspiciously

When the young man heard this, he immediately reacted and asked, "You are also Korean?" ”

Kim Do-joon nodded and said, "I'm from Jeongseon-gun, Gangwon Province, what about you?" How can there be no money to eat? ”

After asking two questions directly, the young man suddenly didn't know how to answer, and said a little embarrassed: "I'm from Seoul, and I was in a hurry when I came, so I brought my passport, and I didn't have much left after I bought the plane ticket." The young man scratched his head in embarrassment.

Jin Daojun frowned when he heard it, this guy obviously didn't say it completely, but he didn't care about helping him himself, turned his head and walked towards the mustachioed Uncle Li, and whispered softly in his ear: "Uncle, I'll pay this person's account, you tell me how much money I will give, don't embarrass him, let him go." ”

Uncle Li, the mustachioed man, heard the conversation between Jin Daojun and the young man and knew that they were a country, and immediately became even more angry, why is the gap between people and people so big, after hearing Jin Daojun say that he came to pay the bill, he shook his head lightly, signaling that he doesn't care about such a little money, the key is that your attitude towards eating is too bad, and whoever goes out has an inconvenient time, how can anyone run directly after eating, just say no.

"You go, I don't want to see you in my store again, please!"

Uncle Mustachioed directly ordered the eviction, and the young man looked at the boss and then at Kim Do-jun, as if he had something to say, but he didn't know why he didn't say it, tightened his clothes, put on his hat and walked outside.

Finally off work, Kim Do-jun stretched his waist, moved his muscles, packed his things, said goodbye to Uncle Mustache and his colleagues, and rode his bicycle to the dormitory.

Along the way, I always found that someone followed me, because it was very late, so I rode very slowly, plus the moonlight was good tonight, and my mood was also very high, riding all the way, yelling all the way, people who didn't know thought they were crazy.

It seems that someone is really following him, Kim Do-jun became more and more suspicious in his heart, his good mood was immediately destroyed, his brows were tightly locked, his eyes were looking ahead, and suddenly a person rushed out of the corner, which immediately startled Kim Do-jun and almost fell off the bike.

After looking at it intently, it turned out to be a young man who was eating the overlord meal in the restaurant today, and asked angrily, "What are you doing with me?" ”

The young man said hesitantly, "You can't take me in for one night, I have nowhere to go, and I don't have any money on me." ”

"I'll take you in for one night, why are you going tomorrow, not to mention that I don't know you well, if you have any bad thoughts, what should I do?" After speaking, he tightened his clothes and looked at him with a strange face, could it be that his orientation was different from others......

The young man said with a smile: "You think too much, I really don't have any money, and I don't have a place to go, otherwise I won't follow you all the time, please help me with this, okay?" After speaking, he pleaded solemnly.

"You show me your ID card, tell me your details, I have to listen to it to decide whether to help this favor or not, and the reason you said in the store just now, I don't believe it, you tell the truth." Kim Do-jun said with the same serious face.

Han Chenghao calmed down, looked at Kim Do-jun again, and said slowly: "My name is Han Sung-ho, the third in the family, there are parents at home, an elder brother, an elder sister, and a younger brother, who lives in Yancang-dong, Gangseo-gu, Seoul, this is my basic situation, and handed my ID card to Kim Daojun after speaking.

Daojun looked at his ID card carefully, looked at his eyes again, and found that he was not lying, so he asked again: "Then why did you come to the United States without money." ”

After a long while, the young man said, "I came to run for my life, I don't want to disturb my family, but I am actually a member of the gang." ”

"Gang members?" Kim Do-joon suddenly had a group of people in black who were fighting everywhere in black suits and sunglasses and causing trouble.

Can such a person be a good person? Can you still take it in? I couldn't help but doubt myself, and finally asked, "Tell me, what's going on." ”

Han Chenghao thought about it, shook his head again, and his expression was very tangled: "Actually, I am a member of the Xinhedong faction, just a very ordinary member, our gang is not very big, the boss is a star agent, we are responsible for monitoring the star's every move, including who they meet, who they date, what they eat at night, we have to report to him, I heard that the star is already very dissatisfied, and when I went on a private date with a friend, I said that I wanted to cancel the contract with our boss, but because I was afraid, I didn't have any substantive action, just muttered in private." Later, after the boss knew, he taught him a hard lesson, causing him to wear sunglasses on the show, and then the boss became more and more intensified not only to intimidate his parents, but also to monitor him in all directions, I felt that things had become more and more serious, and it had become more and more uncontrollable, so I went home and got my passport, and ran out secretly, wanting to come to the United States to find opportunities, and then go back when I was a person, and I didn't want to mix in the gang. ”

After speaking, he kicked the stone next to him hard, wanting to vent the anger in his heart.

When Kim Do-jun heard it, he was stunned, as if it was a fantasy, is this the entertainment industry? I didn't expect that the industry I wanted to engage in in the future would be so dark, and there were gang forces, and the invasion reached such a point, do you still want to realize your dream from childhood to adulthood?

No, absolutely not, I don't care about others, but I myself will not be manipulated by these things, my life is up to me. After speaking, he clenched his fists and swore secretly.

So he had a new idea.

"Okay, I believe you for the time being, I can take you in, and give you food and shelter, then I ask you, what will you do, English, economics, financial management, investment, laundry, cooking, which will you do?

After Han Chenghao listened, a drop of sweat suddenly came from his head, these don't seem to be the same, it seems that he has lived for so many years in vain, and thought for a while: "I will fight, I can protect you, of course I will warm the bed, if you need it." After saying that, he blinked his eyes and stroked his hair slightly.

Jin Daojun suddenly had a bad chill and shouted loudly: "Get out of the way." ”
