A Bad Guy On Top Of A Bad Guy - c117

Episode 117: Side story 4-14.

Suhyeon looked up at the building in front of her through the window. As the sky darkens, an old building stands precariously. The sign that said Gosiwon was blurred with all the letters erased, and at the entrance a man in loose sweatpants was smoking a cigarette in an awkward posture and spitting on the floor.

Suhyeon sighed and played with the shopping bag on her lap. No matter how much he thinks about it, it seems like he did something for no reason. I’ll just pretend not to know. This is too much for that person. Whether he dies or not is none of my business.

While I was struggling to make a decision, Team Leader Park waited leisurely by my side without saying a word. Suhyun sighed softly and then leaned his body against the chair.

“Just go.”

Team Leader Park turned around and Su-hyeon smiled bitterly.

“I think I’m doing something pointless.”

After thinking for a moment, Team Leader Park starts the engine. At that time, someone was trudging along in the distance. Shabby outfit. Bent shoulders and limp arms. And an unidentifiable black plastic bag. Although he was wearing a hat, I recognized the man as Baek Gwang-mu.

Team Leader Park did not leave, and Su-hyeon pursed his lips. I’m trying to say just let’s go, but my mouth won’t come out. However, the man who was smoking a moment ago stops Baek Gwang-moo. I don’t know what he was saying, but the way he raised his chin and pointed his finger gave me the feeling that he was questioning something.

Baek Gwang-moo lowers his head and says nothing. Su-hyeon felt stuffy and sighed. At that moment, the man pushes Baek Gwang-moo’s shoulder with the hand holding the cigarette. Every time Baek Gwang-moo took a step back, the man became more threatening.

The baby is so young. Soo-hyeon gritted his teeth, and before Team Manager Park had time to stop him, he opened the car and jumped out. hey! As she shouted and approached, the man looked at her, and Su-hyeon suddenly broke the man’s hand and twisted it back.

“evil! “What the fuck!”

I threw it to the side and it fell to the floor. No matter how much I hated my father, I couldn’t bear to be treated badly by this bastard. Even if you curse and criticize me, I will do it. Why does a bastard like you say such things?

The man jumps up from his seat and tries to attack him, but Team Leader Park gets down and approaches him. She flips open her jacket, and I don’t know what he sees through it, but the man flinches and steps behind her, and she runs into the goshiwon, cursing.

Bread and milk came out of the bag lying on the floor, and Baek Gwang-moo picked them up and stared at Su-hyeon with a calm expression. Meanwhile, Team Leader Park brought a shopping bag from the department store, handed it to Su-hyeon, and returned to the car. Su-hyeon clenched his molars and bit his lips like a clam.

“Did you go to see your mom?”

Baek Gwang-moo, who had been silent, was the first to speak. Su-hyeon felt like tears would overflow when she heard the word “mother.” Do you think you have the right to ask that? It happened because of who my mom was. When she criticized him with her eyes, Baek Gwang-mu lowered his head like a criminal.

“Never come here again. “What good is there in being seen by others?”

Suhyun slowly moved her lips.

“I won’t come. “I have no reason to come, and I don’t want to come.”

“okay… .”

“Even if you die, don’t contact me. “I have no intention of holding a funeral.”

“Crazy guy. “How can I contact you when you’re dead?”

“… … .”

I looked at him in bewilderment and saw Baek Gwang-moo smiling with a helpless expression. Then he rummaged through the plastic bag and took out some banana milk.

“Go and eat. “You liked this.”

Suhyeon bit her lip to suppress the overwhelming emotions. Whenever Baek Gwang-moo stopped by the house after a long time, what he brought was banana milk. Since he is just staring at me without taking it, I force it into his hand. Even though it was the middle of summer, my chapped and cracked hands were noticeable. Su-hyeon gave him milk and caught him as he walked away and held out the shopping bag he was holding in his hand. He looked down at his shopping bags.

“At least dress neatly. “Because you walk around like a bastard, those bastards ignore you.”

Baek Gwang-moo’s expression falls as he hands over the shopping bag he was carrying in an indifferent tone. He lowered his gaze and nodded his head almost invisible. okay. thanks. The end of his voice cracked and trembled.

Not wanting to see that scene anymore, Suhyun turned around and walked to the car. Even as he closed the door and departed, he did not look at Baek Guangmu. It was dark everywhere, even inside the car. He felt rather fortunate. Otherwise, Team Manager Park would have seen my expression and been worried, and Yang Ho-beom would have heard it too.

***

The goshiwon room was so narrow that one person could barely lie down. Baek Gwang-moo came inside, closed the door, and sat down in front of him. Taking off his hat, he buried his face between his knees, pulling at his matted hair.

I couldn’t properly say I was sorry to my son whom I hadn’t seen in a long time. I couldn’t even get down on her knees and ask for forgiveness. Although she was disappointed to hear her son say that he would not come even if he died, she also felt fortunate. Because he is smart enough not to show any regrets towards such an ugly father. I thought she was going to go somewhere and do her thing.

After sitting like that for a while, I pulled the shopping bag that was next to me. As I was taking out my clothes, something fell on the floor. Baek Gwang-mu’s eyes widened infinitely as he unconsciously stretched out his hand and picked it up.

What was in the small plastic bag was a fairly familiar item. Dozens of sparkling diamonds were hidden in the charnel house along with the Buddha statue. And that was something I had saved up to give to Baek Soo-hyun when I met him later.

“This… .”

After collecting my wife’s body that day, I frantically searched for my son. Then she found her son at Baeksuk’s house in front of a valley far away. A kind-hearted couple was taking care of them, and Baek Gwang-moo decided that it would be better for him to stay there, so he told them about his situation and gave them money. After that, he secretly visited his son a few times to spy on him.

Then one day, the Baeksuk restaurant closed and the son disappeared. You don’t know how devastated he was when he found out later that he had been sent to prison for stabbing someone. Even though I committed many sins, my father wanted his children to live well.

It felt like it was all because of me, and from then on, I started saving money by any means possible. When my son was born, he would become an adult, and I planned to send him to college, get a decent house, and live like a truly human being.

At that time, a business partner made a surprising suggestion.

Gangsters are trading diamonds, and we want to snatch them up in the middle.

[He said he would wash his hands when he found his son. This is that opportunity.]

Baek Gwang-moo, who hesitated, accepted his offer. He succeeded in stealing over a hundred diamonds, but the joy did not last long. In the end, he was discovered and his partner was killed, and Baek Gwang-moo went to the police station and turned himself in to survive.

Because of my history, my sentence was added, and I spent quite a long time in prison. Since then, he has not seen his son released from prison or heard any news about him. Then he heard a strange story from a man in prison.

There is a big man with the surname Yang in Jongno who is looking for an old Buddhist statue in Japan. He can’t put a price on it, and even if he could, it would easily be over tens of billions. It was quite an attractive story for Baek Gwang-moo.

The fact that the big man was Chairman Yang, whom he used to work for, also intrigued him. He has already worked in that house, so he knows his internal situation well. For example, when and why outsiders come in.

Baek Gwang-mu made a new plan there. Even though he got into this situation after stealing, he once again coveted other people’s things. They said that gambling and kleptomania were diseases that could only be cured by cutting off one’s wrists, and they were not wrong.

If you get tens of billions of dollars, your life will be completely different from before. If that were to happen, the first thing I wanted to do was find the people who killed my wife. It’s revenge. To the people who made my family like this.

And they decided that they would go abroad together to find their son. I wanted to get away from this horrible place and live a different life. This is a world where anything is possible with money. Isn’t it money that makes even a thief listen to the boss and a gangster be treated like the chairman? Baek Gwang-moo carefully planned while waiting for that day, and after being released from prison, he heard the news that the Buddha statue was in the hands of Chairman Yang and put his plan into action.

But the dream did not come true easily. Thanks to this, he dragged his son into this, pushed him to the brink, and inflicted an indelible wound on him. Baek Gwang-mu found out too late. That his life turned out this way was not anyone’s fault but his own choice. He needs to take responsibility and let his son go now.

Baek Gwang-moo, who returned to reality, took out the shirt Su-hyeon had bought and spread it out in front of him, smiling faintly.

The light yellow shirt was a truly beautiful color.

“I just bought something like that…” .”

His eyes became watery as he looked at the clothes, and soon his head fell between his knees again.
