Chapter 1.2

The young man Do Eun is feeling that he is going to get sick now and he doesn't feel like being productive today.

Ring! Ring! Ring!

The young man Do Eun heard the ringing of his own cellphone. He saw the registration of his friend's name on the screen of his cellphone.

"Hyung Bu"

"Oh Hyung, why you called me huh ?!" The young man Do Eun said sadly to his friend that he was two years older than him. He doesn't have time to chit-chat here and there especially to his friend Hyung Bu.

"Haha it's good and you called me Hyung today. You really have respect for me now ah hahaha!" The young man Bu on the other line said jokingly.

"Tsk! You really believe that I'm happy right now? I'm in a bad mood right now okay? can I, Bu? What's the thing, why did you called me?!" Do Eun said lazily. He's not plastic to pretend to be okay now.

"You're in a bad mood if you're in a bad mood but hello? who cares, there's still work waiting for you here so you might forget, Your Majesty!" The young man Bu said on the other line while emphasizing the last word of what he said.

Do Eun's eyes widened. He feels like he is really sick right now especially and last night it started. He works at a Convenience Store as a cashier and he doesn't have a day off today. His last day off was in the first week of January but now it's November.

He is the type of son who is the "breadwinner" of his family. They are twelve siblings and he is the only one who has a job and works with them. His father was a drunkard and his mother was a gambler and even his siblings had vices but even so he never complained about them because if he criticized or contradicted them, he would be the only one to contradict them and make him like a bad person or a bad sibling. He sometimes feel really bad about it but he loves his family because his blood and flesh or blood related to them. Another is that, he is the youngest of their siblings.

All his salary goes to them because he can't bear not to give them and if he doesn't give they will really beat him or embarrass him in the place where he works. But in recent months, he has rented the boarding house he is now staying at so that they will not bother him anymore. It's also expensive if he goes home to them for three more rides but he can save if he's just here in the room he's renting. He rents it cheaply and the only thing that makes him happy is that he only reads his favorite Cultivation Novels.

Is his family okay? Probably not especially he feels that when he finishes High School he can still go to college. He was able to study but he also stopped when he was halfway through the semester in First Year. He has had a lot of work but he is always fired not because of his incompetence at work but because of his brothers who extort money from him who he knows that he hid something from him especially the money he gets from his salary.

Ever since he was in elementary school he was aware of poverty he went through and he His family. He worked hard as he is inspired on what he read and watched successful people or personalities that were reported on the internet or on television programs, being in a poor family they began but they have successfully overcomes it tp become successful individual they are right now. He actually work hard that until he graduated Elementary and High School he was selling food or anything he could sell to his fellow students that is purely legal work. He was never tempted to do something illegal because it was against his will and the law.

Since he became a cashier in various business establishments, his parents and his brother have been demanding more and more because he is being paid great. He doesn't want to clean up about how his parents or siblings about his salary and he's tired of defending himself or his family that they're still doing the right thing. He works hard because he knows he has nothing left to rely on, not even his family.

"Hello Eun! Eun ?! Eun, are you still there ?!" The young man Bu said loudly as the concern could be seen in his voice. He is not unaware of the condition of Do Eun who is his friend especially and with him at work. It looks like his younger brother, especially since his condition is miserable. If he is the one to be questioned, his family will no longer consider him humane because his role in his family's life is only like a walking ATM.

Even though Bu's life is difficult, the family she belongs to is not that bad, especially since she has good parents and even her siblings who work hard for their daily needs. In fact, he still enjoys helping his parents and he saves half of his salary and the other half he voluntarily gives to his own parents. His friend Do Eun really has a bad luck at the family he belongs to not to mention hiw greedy and how his family members pester his friend to give them money they didn't work hard for it.

Do Eun, on the other hand, is barely able to come back to reality especially and he doesn't think that he took too long to think that he didn't expect that it will add another bad mood to the ending of the book he is following. the sadness in his heart and feelings that he will be disappointed especially and the book he read is very good bit the ending is just so tragic he didn't even think to happen.

"Of course Bu, I'm still here. All right, I'll go there. Wait for me there before you leave." The young man Do Eun said while trying to encourage the tone of his speech even if he is not.

But the young man Bu felt strange to his younger friend Do Eun. He knew it didn't seem okay especially in the way it was spoken.

"Are you okay Eun, maybe you're feeling something in your body. When did you have a day-off Mr. Always Present ?!" The young man Bu said worriedly as he could be seen resigning the joking title that is his famous nickname for them. It's also really impressive because of its strength and hard work of Do Eun who is his friend. It really influenced him and he was not absent but if there was a day-off, he grabbed it right away. After all, their duty hours will change and Do Eun will replace him as the cashier of the convenience store where they work now.
