Sunday morning Jong-seok was circling the neighborhood. And as he moved his steps, Jong-seok glanced at the passers-by.

There's a lot of people.’

Watching people coming and going, Jong-seok knew that more people were coming to the neighborhood than he thought.

And the changes in the neighborhood that we've never known before... It was that there were new street vendors in the neighborhood.

"Oppa, this is so pretty."

"Do you want me to buy you one?”

"No, I'm just saying you're pretty."

A man was buying a hairpin from a stand, looking at a woman with a voice and a cute act that meant to be bought by anyone.

Jong-seok, who was looking at it, looked at the other vendors. They were all street vendors selling goods to young people.

Sweep!

When Jong-seok turned his head, he could see several shops.

"Coffee shop... hamburger restaurant..."

There were shops that had not been conscious before. There used to be a coffee shop and a hamburger restaurant.

But now the number has increased.

"Was the business district in my neighborhood this good?’

After thinking about it for a while, Jong-seok took out his cell phone and searched the neighborhood.

Find out about Taejin-dong.

I've been to Taejin-dong, which is famous for its pretty streets.

As the pictures posted on the Internet, the pictures in the alley were definitely good to see.

And people pointed out that there were only a few paintings, and I actually liked them better.

It feels like there are only pictures to see, so it doesn't take long to take pictures and look around.

But one drawback is that there are not many amenities when you go into the neighborhood.

No, should I say no? If you go to a place with a painting alley, there's a snack bar, but there's nothing else.

By the way... the snack bar is really good.

Noodle Tteokbokki and fish cake... It looks really good on you. The course is to eat tteokbokki and fish cake after looking at the picture.

a tour of Taejin-dong alleys

.......

I went to a famous snack bar on the Internet and it was closed after 5 o'clock.

I heard that the store closes before 4:00 due to the exhaustion of ingredients.

I believe in doing business with only the specified ingredients, but... I'm a little sad that I couldn't eat it after I went there.

There were quite a few comments saying that they couldn't eat because they closed their doors after coming to a snack bar.

Well, business is so good these days that they close before 3 p.m. because they run out of ingredients.

So there were some customers who couldn't eat.

And one unusual thing was seen in the eyes of Jong-seok, who looked around the village.

It was a painting. Paintings that were not done by him were painted in several alleys and shops.

Jong-seok looked up and down at the beautiful picture of a woman painted in front of a store.

I don't think it was a brush.’

Jong-seok, who was looking at a picture that looked like a picture, glanced at the picture on the wall.

"What's Jong-seok doing?"

Jong-seok said, taking himself off the wall.

"Because the picture is unique."

"Our artist must have felt a sense of competition.”

"That's not true. It looks like a real."

"I've seen it before. You were buzzing with the machine."

"Mechanically?"

"Yes."

The old lady explained the shape of the machine and told me what the painting was about.

"Is it similar to a large print?"

"Oh! Yeah, I thought it was similar to printing.”

"I see."

Jong-seok looked at the picture.

'So you couldn't see the touch of the brush.'

Jong-seok nodded as he was looking at the painting. Surely this way of printing will give you a real-life feel.

Besides, I'll draw it quickly....

Jong-seok, who was thinking like that, looked at the old lady.

"There are many paintings I haven't seen in the town."

"Some time ago, new shops started painting. Is it because it's rumored that the painting is a pretty neighborhood?"

Jong-seok greeted the lady and walked home.

'Hmm... print or whatever it is, there are people who come to see it when it starts to get new.’

And as the number of paintings increases and the number of people increases, the local commercial area will also grow.

"House prices are going to go up."

Jong-seok, who had such thoughts, took out his notebook from his pocket.

Then he wrote down the current situation in his notebook.

Like the question, Jong-seok's hand in the red began to move.

'Is this why you wrote the waterwheel?’

The merchant's experience that once a spinning wheel starts, it doesn't stop unless it's forced to stop....

Jong-seok shook his head as he thought of the waterwheel for a while.

'I painted because I wanted a lot of people to come. If I draw now, my business will be difficult.’

It was funny for him to get angry with his handwriting, but this is true and this is frustrating.

What does it matter if you have money?

When I thought about Jong-seok's answer to the merchant's experience, it made sense.

'Yes, loans aren't necessarily bad. And you get a loan to buy a house. You can buy a house if you take out a mortgage or something.’

If he took out a loan and added the money he had, he would have enough money to buy a house.

Having thought of that, Jong-seok moved to his house. When Jong-seok arrived home, he saw that he was very busy and began to help the business.

Jong-seok, who had been helping the store for such a long time, talked with his parents when some of the customers left.

"I think I'll have to buy my house anyway.”

"This house?"

My father nodded at Jong-seok at my mother's words.

"I thought so, too."

Jong-seok looked at him at his father's abrupt remark.

"Daddy, too?"

At Jong-seok's question, Dad nodded and opened his mouth.

"The prices of houses in the neighborhood haven't gone up much yet, but when one house goes up, the other tends to go up as well. I think I should be paid that much for the house in front of me."

Then Dad looked at Mom.

"And there are some people who sell their houses in the neighborhood these days and I think I'll have to buy this house if I want to live until Jong-seok graduates from college.”

"It's so sudden..."

In fact, until last year, my parents thought that Jong-seok would go to the army right after he graduated from high school.

Then I was going to send my son to the army and return to farming. He said that he should have money to return to farming, but he thought he would be able to live in his hometown somehow.

By the way, Jongseok suddenly started studying, his grades went up, and his business started to go well. There was no reason to go to the countryside.

Now, Jong-seok had a reason to live in Seoul until he graduated from college.

"It may be a surprise, but if the prices of the neighborhood start to rise further, there will be a request for a lease next year. Or you could try to sell this house when the price goes up."

"But where's the money to buy this house? Though business is good, I haven't even saved money to pay off my debts."

"Who buys the house on his own money?"

"Loan?"

Nodding his head at his mother's words, Dad opened his mouth.

"I think I'll get about 100 million."

There is money in the charter, so you can buy a house if you pay an extra 100 million won.

"That's true."

Mom seemed to be a bit of a burden to get a loan.

"You can buy a house for 100 million won?”

Dad nodded at Jong-seok's question.

"Because this house is 350 million and the rent is 200 million. You'll be able to buy it if you save the money you have and get 100 million loans.”

The house where Jongseok lives now has a rental rate of less than 60%. Considering that the lease rate is usually 80 percent, it can be said that it is cheap.

And that meant that if land prices went up, the amount of money that would go up to lease would be that big, and if the owner stepped forward, the former owner could try to sell the house right away.

Jong-seok was surprised by his father's words and looked around.

"No, this old house is 350 million?"

It's an old house in Seoul. Besides, the building's old, but it's pretty flat."

Jong-seok said while looking at the store at his father's words.

"I have about 80 million won."

His parents looked at him surprised at Jong-seok's sudden remark.

"You don't have 80 million won?”

Jong-seok told me about Wang Ga-hoon in his father's words.

"So the boss told you to keep all that money?"

"Yes. I wanted to pay for the hospital, but he's fine."

"Why didn't you tell me that?”

When my mom looked at me as if she was upset, Jong-seok's appetite melted.

"Mom, I'm sorry."

"I'm not asking you to apologize..."

My dad shook his head at my mother's words.

"He must have had an idea. And it's such a big money that you wouldn't even have told us."

"Dad's right."

When mom saw him at Jong-seok's words, Dad said.

"I need to see the boss of the old bookstore."

"Daddy?"

"No matter how much an adult told me to get it, it's too much money. I'll have to meet him first and talk to him."

"Then come with me."

"No, you're doing business with your mom.”

Dad got up with the horse and left the store.

It was long after the business was over that my father came back from leaving the store.

"Hahaha! Mr. Ko is very friendly and very nice."

Jong-seok hurriedly asked Jong-seok when he saw his father returning with a drunken face.

"How'd it go?”

"Huh? What?"

"The story of money.”

"Ah!"

Dad stroked Jong-seok's head with his hand.

"President Ko thanked you for saving your life."

"That was just a word..."

"You say a word pays your debts. And Ko says he can't get a penny because it's your money, not yours."

"Then can I use it?”

"Hearing what Mr. Ko said, I thought if I didn't get the money, I'd rather hurt him."

Dad told me to wait a moment, and I washed my face with cold water and came out.

"I'll call the landlord and ask him if he's willing to sell the house.”

"Now? Tomorrow?"

"I told you to take the bull out at once. You should do it when you think of it. And if you sell it, you'll have to look into the bank account for the money you're short of."

Then my dad called the landlord.

"Good afternoon, boss. Yes, you've been well. It's nothing else, but I was wondering if you might want to sell the house. What? No. My son is good at studying, so I think he should go to college... Oh! That's right. Yes, sir. If you don't mind tomorrow, let's meet and say hello and talk about the contract."

Jong-seok nodded as he heard his father and the landlord talking on the phone.

'The house problem has been solved.'

There may be some lack of money, but it is not a job to get that much loan while buying a house.

So the only thing left was to buy a house from the landlord.

***

A few days after the transaction with the landlord, May 5th finally became Children's Day, which is aired by tomorrow's cooking king.

The cooking king of tomorrow was on TV at the snack bar.

"May 5th Children's Day Special Tomorrow's Cooking King! Winning the first episode is! It's Shafran and Lee Jong- Congratulations."

Jong-seok sighed at the sound from the TV and looked to the side.

Mom was talking on the phone.

"Oh! My son is on TV today. What? Ah! Tomorrow's cooking king with idols."

"Yes! Have you? My son won.”

"Yes, yes. Thank you."

When she saw Jong-seok on TV, she laughed and put her phone in her front pocket when she talked to her friends on the phone.

"Oh! I'm busy! I'm busy!"

"You said you were busy, but you were good on the phone."

"This is all networking. Who knows if these kids will meet our son's bride?”

Then my mom manipulated the TV and turned on tomorrow's cooking king again.

"Until when are you going to play it."

"Turn it on until the business closes today."

With my mother's words, tomorrow's cooking king began to appear on TV again.

Jong-seok, who shook his head while looking at it, brought tteokbokki and fish cake to the guests.

"Congratulations on your victory.”

Jong-seok smiled awkwardly and bowed his head at the female guest's words.

"Thank you."

"But you must be a good cook. You win the cooking show."

"No."

"We'd like to try it, too. Chef's cooking."

Jong-seok smiled at her and pointed to tteokbokki.

"You're eating now."

"Well, that's what the chef did, too.

"Yes, I make the sauce myself."

"How about Shaffron, by the way?"

"Do you know?"

"I saw you on 'Run! Idol' the other day. That Sunny was a great runner."

"Good boy."

"Really?"

"Yes. Enjoy your meal, then."

Jong-seok, with his head down, looked out of the window rubbing his tteokbokki. Outside the window was crowded with people looking at the paintings.

As it was Children's Day, the road was crowded with family and lovers.

Jong-seok, who was just watching the scene, has lost his appetite.

I can't wait to take the college entrance exam.’

He wanted to end up angry when other children heard him.

As Jong-seok and his father worried, the land prices in the neighborhood did not go up like crazy.

No, it did go up, but contrary to worries, it was not near Jong-seok's house.

The house prices rose on the main street of the entrance to the neighborhood.

Although tourists came, Jong-seok's house is located right near elementary school, so there is a limit to opening a store.

Since industries related to alcohol and entertainment cannot be opened, land prices outside of the limit have begun to rise.

Even if Jongseok's house is the center of tourists, there is no reason to buy land with restrictions because people have to pass through the entrance of the village to come here.

Anyway, Jong-seok and his parents started to work harder.

To pay back the money you borrowed as soon as possible.
