A Lie Has Become Reality

47 – Birthday Present (2)

“I’ll take care of you today, Mr. Yunseong.”

-Don’t worry, CEO! Even if I look like this, I am a driver.

“Then please take good care of me.”

-Yup! See you soon!

Doo-Doo-

Today is the birthday of one of my best friends.

The birthday present was perfectly prepared, and the preparation for the surprise was completed without any problems.

It is safe to say that this level of preparation is perfect.

I picked up my phone and checked the current time.

“Not long.”

A foreign tea gift as a birthday present?

It’s a gift that seems crazy to me, but if you think about it carefully, there’s really nothing wrong with it.

In the first place, 200 million won is not an amount that accounts for such a large portion of my wealth.

I don’t think I’d be too burdened by his personality.

“The maintenance cost has been solved to some extent.”

Of course, as it is a foreign car, the maintenance cost will be quite burdensome.

However, insurance is not such a big problem because the insurance premium has been paid in a lump sum for three years.

The free warranty period was also extended from the previous 3 years to 6 years by purchasing additional 3-year free warranty extensions and consumable replacement coupons.

Since automobile tax is also imposed based on engine displacement, foreign cars do not cost particularly more.

It’s not like he doesn’t have money for the rest of the gas, so he can afford it.

Ttareun-!

The cell phone vibrated loudly with an alarm sound.

I turned off the alarm, got ready to leave, and left the house.

****

“You said you left now? Then I will be back soon.”

-Uh, it looks like it will arrive soon.

“Call me when you get to my front door.”

-Okay.

Doo-Doo-

After hanging up the phone, I burst out laughing.

“What is Kim Seong-woo doing?”

Seongwoo Kim.

My first meeting with him started when I entered high school.

Like everyone else, I became close with him naturally, like getting wet in the drizzle, without any special occasion.

Until then, Sungwoo Kim had a fairly bright personality.

Until the boy’s parents died in a car accident.

“I think I’m better now, though.”

In the meantime, he was stuck in the corner of the house, playing games like a dead person, but now the whole internet is buzzing with three letters of Kim Seong-woo’s name.

Besides, they say that they are coming to the house saying that it is their friend’s birthday and they will take care of it themselves.

Anyway, the words ‘I can’t live like this forever’ were not bluffing.

No matter what, it’s a good thing for me that my friend has finally come to his senses.

Diring-!

[ Seongwoo Kim: Arrived. I’m going to pop out ]

At the top of the vibrating mobile phone screen, Kim Seong-woo’s text notification that he had arrived was drawing attention.

I got up, opened the door, and went outside.

As I went down the elevator and left the apartment entrance, a familiar face greeted me in front of the entrance.

“Why do you take care of all my birthday?”

“What, are you dissatisfied?”

It’s always like this.

It’s been a long time since I’ve met, so familiar and friendly that I can’t feel the long hiatus.

“Where are you going to eat?”

“Wait, I called a taxi, so it will come soon.”

“A taxi? Where is your car going?”

“I am undergoing regular maintenance now.”

“You have several cars. Where did the rest of us go?”

“…… Everything is being checked.”

What is this guy?

Seeing as he quietly avoids looking at me, it’s not usually suspicious.

For a moment, an ominous thought flashed in my brain.

“You… no way…… “

As I sighed with a solemn expression, Sungwoo Kim’s eyes shook.

“Has your license been revoked?”

“Do you want to search?”

As we passed the time by exchanging jokes, a car approached from afar with a loud exhaust sound.

“Couldn’t that be the taxi you called?”

“Is that correct?”

“Is that a taxi? Where are you looking?”

From noble mtl dot com

“These are the new model taxis.”

What kind of guy’s model taxi is Menz H Bargain coming?

Have Uber taxis been commercialized in Korea without my knowledge?

Dazed, I just blinked and watched the car approaching.

“…… It’s a brand new car.”

“These days, deluxe taxis are no joke.”

Who uses a new car as a taxi vehicle?

I started to get more confused when I saw Kim Seong-woo looking at him with an innocent face as if asking what was wrong.

At some point, the car arrived right in front of us, and the H-bargain I saw up close was a real pleasure.

“Wow, the car is really f*cking cool… “

“Really?”

“The design just has no place to play. I heard that the driving feeling is also good.”

“Well, that’s fine.”

Is it because he is a third-generation conglomerate? Even after seeing a car worth over 200 million won, Kim Seong-woo did not change his expression at all.

Since it was impossible to park the taxi all the time, he first opened the car door and entered.

“Hello.”

“Hello, guests!”

I’m surprised.

I was surprised by the booming young voice for a while.

Looking around, there were more than one or two odd corners.

“It’s a taxi, but it doesn’t have a meter… ?”

Not just meters.

There were many difficult parts in the car to objectively call it the inside of a taxi.

Not only does it not have the most basic meter for a taxi, and even the vinyl that is still less torn as if boasting that it is a new car.

Where did you find this taxi?

“Guests do not have a meter because the payment is made automatically in the app.”

“Is there such a taxi in Korea?”

“…… Recently, it is being pilot operated only for deluxe taxis.”

If I doubt it, it only hurts my head, so I just slowly looked around the inside of the car.

Unlike the exterior of a car with a strong force like a real man, the interior is quite modern, refined and luxurious.

“Wow…… “

The wariness disappeared everywhere, and now I took a closer look at the interior of the dream car that I had only imagined.

“But thanks to you, I’ve ridden all the H-bargains.”

“Do you like it?”

“It was originally a dream car, but it drives me even more insane.”

It was a car that had been persistently saving money to purchase an entry car.

With the support of my parents, I saved a lot of money over the years.

I think it will be possible if I gather a little more.

I thought about this and that for a while.

“Guest, we have arrived! hahahaha.”

I raised my head suddenly at the words of the article that I had arrived.

“Thank you.”

I got out of the car with a thank you.

I looked around as I touched my clothes.

“Are you sure you took the right destination?”

“Oh, that’s right.”

“Right? No matter how much I look around, there is no building that looks like a restaurant.”

At the words of the guy that this place is right, I turned around and looked around.

However, all that is around is the Gangnam-gu Office building and numerous parked cars.

Are you kidding me right now?

I continued talking while glaring at Kim Seong-wu, who was splitting the thread.

“Because I’m hungry right now and I’m f*cking sensitive? Where is the restaurant?”

“Kuhup… Are you looking for it?”

“I’m going crazy, really.”

I laughed and looked around again.

But the only things that still stand out are the Gangnam-gu Office building, the numerous parked cars, and the taxi that got off earlier.

Wait, come to think of it, why is that taxi still over there?

After staring at the taxi for a while, the taxi driver got out of the driver’s seat and was approaching us with a pile of papers in one hand.

I couldn’t understand the current situation, so I just blankly looked at the approaching taxi driver.

He arrived before I knew it and put the car keys in my hand.

“You left your car keys hahahaha.”

“Yes?”

“Take care of your things and go around. You’re not even a kid, are you spilling your car keys?”

“What is this…… ?”

What kind of situation is this?

I just took a step or two back with my mouth wide open.

I looked at the car key in my hand and Kim Seong-woo in turns.

f*ck. No way?

“That car is yours, you bastard.”

“…… Crazy.”

I let out a low curse and turned my gaze to the H-bargain, which I thought was a taxi.

Even if you stare at it for a while, it is the car that you were satisfied with vicariously while watching the test drive on YouTube.

My heart started pumping like it was about to explode.

“Did you bring all the documents, Mr. Yunseong?”

“Of course, CEO. Here you are.”

The man she thought was a taxi driver called Kim Seong-woo her representative and handed over the documents she was holding.

Kim Seong-wu flipped through the documents and nodded his head in satisfaction.

I just decided to give up on understanding the whole situation.

“What are you doing there? I have to transfer my name, so you can keep standing?”

“So… That’s my real car… Called…… ?”

I shook my head, saying that couldn’t be the case.

Because some crazy person would prepare such a crazy surprise for a birthday present.

Kim Seong-wu started laughing as if he was going to die laughing at my denial of reality.

“Happy Birthday!”

“Happy birthday guest!”

“Poetry…Haircut…… “

My throat became choked as the neck belt became hot.

That’s right, this son of a chaebol was the third generation.

Because he acted like a jjoda, he forgot that this bastard was a conglomerate.

Amazement and gratitude, emotion and astonishment.

Various emotions began to swirl in one corner of my heart.

“Hey, are you crying? Are you crying?”

“…… “

As if Kim Seong-woo found something interesting to watch, he started taking pictures of me standing on the verge of crying with his mobile phone.

“You cry, cry! Ha ha ha.”

“Don’t cry, bastard!”

A bastard.

Kim Seong-woo is a grateful bastard.
