Gold and Silver Alchemist

When I opened my eyes, I was lying in a hospital bed.

At first I couldn’t remember anything.

Even three letters of my name.

Then I heard from the nurse.

I was in a car accident and was taken to the hospital.

“How long have I been here?”

I felt as if I had been lying down for 100 years with no senses in my body and no memory.

Maybe I, as a vegetative person, have been unconscious for years.

“It’s been about 15 minutes.”

“yes?”

I jumped up and looked around, and it was an emergency room, not a hospitalization room.

I tried to recall the memory.

Then, fragmentary memories of the car accident came to life.

A little boy crossing a railroad crossing and a truck rushing towards him.

I, without thinking, reflexively ran to rescue the child.

“What about the kid? Are you all right?”

“All right. You’re just coming over there. children and parents.”

The little boy came to my bed holding mom and dad’s hands.

The child’s father grabbed my hand.

“I’m so glad you weren’t seriously hurt! And thank you from the bottom of my heart! You are the benefactor of our family!”

The child, who was hugging his father’s thighs and twisting them around, opened his mouth embarrassedly.

“Uncle, thank you.”

.

.

.

When I heard the story from the doctor in charge, I just wrapped the child and rolled it on the road, but it was not directly hit by a truck.

Still, they said that I needed to get a detailed examination just in case, so I got all the tests done and left the hospital.

thiririri-

The cell phone rang.

It was a call from the company.

“hello.”

-hey! where are you? Why are you late and f*cking!

“I was in a car accident.”

-Traffic Accident?! Hey you bastard, you shouldn’t be late even if there are two sides of the sky! Come out in 5 minutes!

Yesterday I worked overtime until late and got off work past midnight, but this sh*t is a bit late in the morning.

On the subject of a vicious company that often delays wages due to labor exploitation, executives treat their employees disrespectfully like this.

In particular, the thing I hated the most was Executive Director Park, whom I was talking to right now.

Almost every day after work, I would be taken to the person’s house to fix the computer or do all sorts of other chores.

They even invited me to the feast of their father’s 80th birthday and made me serve the plate as a worker, not as a guest.

hmm-

After all, the problem wasn’t with him, it was with me.

Why am I like that? It wasn’t enough that I worked for the same company for 5 years. Did I do what the unlucky executive told me to do as a slave? Even though I’ve never received a penny for my trouble.

‘I really don’t understand.’

It was only until yesterday, but I couldn’t understand my actions in the past, and it felt like a different person’s life.

– Hey, hey! why no answer! you really want to die!

The manager’s f*cking sh*t kept coming out of the phone.

I shouted at him.

“hey! Listen carefully! I’m quitting the company as of today! Send severance pay within 14 days! If it’s just a day late, I’ll report it right away!”

– What, what ?! you…

ddu-

And pressed the end call button.

‘Adieu, my life that was like an idiot.’

.

returned home

‘From now on, let’s do what we want to do and live happily!’

At this point, I will quit my job as a programmer and change my job.

Teachers did that when I was in school.

A man must dig a well.

I wasn’t very good at studying, but I listened to the teachers’ words well, carve those words into my bones, and lived by digging a well without losing sight of it.

As a result, he was exploited for 5 years in a rogue company.

Now, I will shake off all conventional wisdom and think and act freely.

In any case, you need to find a job quickly.

Not to mention the money I’ve saved up so far, I’m in a tight budget to spend on living expenses.

It wasn’t because I was overspending.

While receiving a small salary, if someone asked to borrow money, he lent it as much as he had and never got it back properly.

In the meantime, I lived by donating 100,000 won to charity organizations every month… A few days ago, I saw the news and said that those charities are scammers.

Really my past life was damned.

‘Let’s never live like that from now on!’

Still, I thought that I would like to go on a trip for a while before finding a new job and working hard.

I couldn’t even dream of something like that in the past five years.

Even if I couldn’t go far due to pocket money, I wanted to go somewhere nearby and see the sea.

Then, a memory I had forgotten suddenly flashed through my mind.

‘right! There was a travel voucher!’

I once lent someone 5 million won but couldn’t get it back in cash and instead received it as a travel voucher.

rustle-

rustle-

I searched the closet.

‘found!’

Fortunately, he did not run away and was enshrined in Koi.

＜5 nights 6 days Bali Pool Villa (ticket included)＞

It was a package gift certificate to leave for Bali, Indonesia.

When I checked the expiration date, I almost couldn’t use it if it was a little late.

‘good! It’s an overseas trip!’

It’s originally a honeymoon voucher, but how about going alone? just have fun playing

I’ve only made my passport and never went abroad, but let’s take a look at Southeast Asia.

I immediately called the travel agency to get rid of the horn.

Then he said he could leave right away next week.

‘okay!’

My heart was pounding.

Originally, the joy of travel was half the preparation process.

I immediately opened my travel bag and started to pack my things.

I pulled out a Hawaiian shirt from the closet.

I bought it last summer and never wore it.

When I was tired and exhausted from work at the company, I screamed at the online shopping mall, imagining walking in the blue sea of a foreign country.

But I actually went on a trip wearing this.

‘Should I wear it once?’

I put on a Hawaiian shirt and stood in front of a mirror.

‘Originally, I have to loosen about three of the top buttons…’

uh-

As I unbuttoned it, I felt empty.

My precious thing that should have hung around my neck is gone.

‘My necklace!’

The two nyang (75g) pure gold necklace disappeared.

It was my only physical asset!

It’s over 5 million won at today’s market price.

‘When the hell did you lose it?’

I was definitely wearing it around my neck until I washed my face in the morning.

‘if!’

For a moment, I remembered what happened to me in a car accident this morning.

‘Did I lose it at the hospital?’

I immediately rushed to the hospital and contacted the customer service center.

But in the end I couldn’t find it.

What did you do to keep writing to the hospital side.

There is absolutely no guarantee that you lost it in the hospital.

Maybe it broke off when rolling on the road.

I went to the accident site just in case, but I couldn’t find it.

‘Let’s pretend it was a trick.’

The poor man lost his gold and was heartbroken, but took comfort in the fact that he was not seriously injured even though he almost had a big problem.

a few days later,

I left for Incheon Airport early in the morning to leave for Bali.

When I arrived at the airport lobby, my companions to go on a package tour were gathered.

Except for me, everyone was newlyweds.

It was only natural that the product itself was a honeymoon package.

After checking in and going through automatic immigration, I entered the duty-free area.

When I checked the time, there were still two hours before boarding time.

Others were busy looking around duty free shops, but I had nothing to do.

I bought a carton of duty-free cigarettes and sat down on a chair in front of the boarding gate.

But right next to my seat was a black bag.

It was an elongated gym bag worn sideways.

The owner said he would come find it soon, but no one came after 30 minutes.

‘Should I bring it to the lost and found center?’

Maybe the owner didn’t know exactly where he left the bag, so he was frantically looking for it in the lost and found.

I heard it lightly, but it was incredibly heavy.

If there were no gold nugget inside, this weight would not come out.

‘no way!?’

Unknowingly, I opened the zipper and looked inside.

oh my god!

Indeed, the inside of the bag was glowing with a golden light.

＜999.9 FINE GOLD 1000g＞

There were dozens of 1 kg gold bars in the bag.

If it were real pure gold, not fake, it would be worth billions of won.

Seeing this was the first thought that came to my mind.

‘Hidden Cameras?’

I looked around.

I looked carefully to see if someone was hiding and secretly filming this side, but there was no sign of that.

‘If it’s not a hidden camera, maybe…’

A few years ago, I saw a news report that an airport cleaner’s grandfather found several gold bars in a trash can in the duty-free area.

At the time, the police regarded the gold bars as contraband items that were abandoned by smugglers.

Maybe this gold is like that too.

Whatever it was, I had to report it to the police.

Even if I had a bad heart and tried to gulp this gold, there was no way.

I can’t get out of the duty free area again with this, and I can’t take it on the plane.

If that were easy, there would be no reason for smugglers to dump gold in the duty-free zone.

However, the 1kg gold bar was much smaller than I thought.

It was much smaller than the palm of my hand.

That small gold bar costs tens of millions of won per piece…

‘I really want to twist just one!’

I inadvertently reached out for the gold bar.

I thought I’d touch it before reporting it.

Where can I go and touch something like this?

But suddenly, a strange thing happened.

The moment I touched the gold bar, it disappeared like a charm.

‘what?’

Confused, I picked up another gold bar.

hiss-

Then it disappeared like smoke.

It disappeared the moment I touched it without even feeling the touch of gold.

‘What, what!?’

I kept trying to pick up the gold bar, but all of them disappeared without exception.

In the end, there was no gold bar left in the bag.

Only then did I smile.

‘Ah, that’s right!’

It was clear that I was dreaming.

Perhaps, the expectation of going abroad for the first time in my life and the regret of losing my gold necklace combined to create such a dream.

Still, since I had a dream of gold coming out, I should buy a lottery ticket when I wake up.

however,

weird.

Even after arriving in Bali, Indonesia after a 7-hour flight, the dream continued.

Please, is this real?
