During the meal, Da-hye’s parents asked me various questions.

    Of all of them, the thing that interested you the most was, of course, monthly income.

    revenue…

    Probably, this is the first time I am revealing my net income.

    “….I think you make more than me?”

    “If you look at honey’s salary, it would be like that.”

    My mother-in-law was very surprised when she heard about my profits.

    If you combine the sales amount from the main platform and other platforms, the amount is so large that it is hard to imagine.

    You can calculate it by assuming that the number of views per month is approximately 20 million.

    Additionally, money comes in from webtoons and such, but they are not a big profit, so I excluded them.”

    “I told you this before, right? Web novel writers make a lot of money.”

    “When we were young, we used to say that people who wrote couldn’t even earn a living.”

    “A. That’s the same for people who use simple sentences.”

    “Is that so…”

    My mother-in-law nods her head in understanding to what my father-in-law says.

    Listening to what you say, it seems like you knew each other even before you were adults.

    I guess that’s what you’re talking about when you were in high school and middle school.

    At that time, it was difficult for writers to make money.

    “So? How much does my daughter earn per month?”

    “…..300?”

    “So I guess your husband will feed you?”

    “Ah…no!”

    “My daughter… makes less money than I thought?”

    “No! I’m 25, but 300 is a lot!”

    That’s right.

    Even though you are just starting out in society, earning 300 is a lot of money.

    Well… it’s just that my profits are a bit surprising.

    Even if I earn a lot, I don’t think I spend even 2 million won a month.

    “Honey. How much did we earn when we were 26?”

    “After graduating, I received about 400 while doing internship and residency.”

    “You received less than you expected?”

    Is it less…

    As far as I know, to become a resident, you have to do an internship for one year and a residency period of two years.

    “And while working as a specialist in Seoul, I received about 2,000… and when I worked in the countryside, I received 3,300.”

    “….Your annual salary?”

    “No? The monthly salary was 2000~3000?”

    “….I should be a doctor too.”

    So, by the time I was 30, I was receiving a monthly salary of 2,000 to 3,000 won.

    It’s a monthly salary that makes you understand why people want to become doctors.

    By the way, what is it about getting paid more in local areas?

    Isn’t it common to get paid a lot if you work in Seoul?

    “Originally, local doctors make more money. Because there is little demand.”

    “Aha…if you don’t mind… I’m making a profit right now…”

    “Are you still curious? Right?”

    “It’s okay for my son-in-law to be curious. I don’t know if it’s someone else.”

    I guess it wasn’t really rude.

    It looks like both of you are itching to talk.

    “Ugh! It’s the main policy!”

    However, Dahye seems a little embarrassed by her parents.

    His face turns red even while eating… It’s really cute.

    “There’s nothing a daughter can’t say to her mom and dad. It’s not a policy, it’s a boast.”

    “The main strategy is to try to win over the son-in-law with salary or salary!”

    “Is that so?”

    My mother-in-law scratched her head and smiled while saying that.

    It seems like the family relationship is so good that it shines.

    “But how can I live with a monthly salary of 300?”

    “Living expenses are enough!”

    “You just accept the pocket money your mom gives you, right? You’ll need a lot of money when you get married, right?”

    “Keu…”

    I’m thinking about it.

    Are you living alone, ignoring the allowance your parents give you?

    That’s amazing…

    Is it because they have a high level of independence, or do they just want to come out and live?

    Now that I think about it, I used to wonder if I should spend all my money on games and get some pocket money from my parents.

    Does it continue like this?

    “Dahye If you keep saying you don’t like it, are you really not going to give it to me? You know your mother’s personality.”

    “Okay… I’ll take it.”

    Oh… I came to say hello and left after seeing an amazing scene.

    Well, no matter how much Dahye said she would feed me… I have no intention of not spending money.

    Just as Dahye said she would feed me, I will also feed Dahye.

    But the parents’ reaction is a bit surprising.

    It seems like he looks happier when he says he’s getting an allowance at the age of 25.

    “Okay. I will finally be able to watch my daughter receive her pocket money.”

    “What happened to the girl who worked part-time and spent money even in high school? Is it because she got a husband like a rabbit?”

    “Hahaha….”

    It’s a bit strange because it’s a rabbit, but it’s still cute.

    By the way, you said you didn’t get a loan in high school and used it as a part-time job?

    The daughter of a wealthy family?

    why?

    Am I the only one who doesn’t understand?

    “It was just like that…”

    “Just? Really?”

    That can’t be possible.

    Usually, when you do something like that, you usually have your own beliefs.

    What high school student refuses to give his parents pocket money?

    There are a lot of kids who are clamoring for more.

    “What did you say? Did you say that you earned and spent your own money because you didn’t want to be called a rich girl?”

    “At first, I thought it was a bit foolish, but when I saw that I was able to earn money and spend it well, I thought it was great.”

    “Aha….”

    “Ugh… stop now…”

    I think I’ll get angry if I do it any more, so let’s stop.

    Dahye is very scary when she gets angry.

    ***

    Late evening.

    While I was relaxing and playing a game, the phone suddenly rang.

    When I answered it, it was a call from my mother-in-law asking her to come to the kitchen.

    So, I went there… They had brought out various snacks, a bottle of whiskey, a basket of ice… and two glasses on the rocks, and they were waiting.

    “Are you here? Do you know how to drink alcohol?”

    “Jo… a little bit.”

    “Then will you join me for a drink?”

    I don’t really have a choice.

    He nodded quietly, took out a chair and sat down.

    “Ha… Anyway, it’s really amazing how my daughter got a man like her son-in-law.”

    “I’m not good enough…”

    “It’s not enough. To be honest, it’s too much and beyond measure for my daughter, right?”

    I guess my mother-in-law’s daughter is a genius?

    You say things so casually that you may feel a little sad to hear them.

    “Still, she is my one and only lovely daughter. I’m glad that my daughter met a good man like my son-in-law.”

    “Thank you for saying that.”

    I was so worried that you said this.

    On the contrary, I feel like I am being treated more than I should, so I feel a little sorry.

    “At first, I was worried because Da-hye earned little, but I was so glad that she said she would receive pocket money… She was like that even in high school.”

    “Did you really not receive any pocket money at all?”

    “Is that so? To be honest, even though she was my daughter, I was foolish and wanted to hit her.”

    My mother-in-law clenched her fist and showed it to me.

    Do you think Dahye will die if you hit her once?

    “Let’s sleep. Let’s talk while drinking. What should I do?”

    “I…”

    “After all, you’re a man, so you’d like a highball?”

    “Yes. Please make it a highball.”

    Coincidentally, lemon and carbonated water were also on the table, so I nodded.

    I find it very difficult to drink whiskey straight or on the rocks.

    My mother-in-law put ice in a cold cup, poured 1.5 ounces of whiskey, and filled the rest with carbonated water.

    And he added lemon slices.

    “How about it? Are you okay?”

    “Not strong and delicious.”

    “It tastes good when made with expensive whiskey. There are people who say it’s a waste of money, but why are they so interested in me spending my money like this?”

    Then he made another drink and drank it down.

    You can drink a drink called Highball like that.

    ” Drinking only alcohol is not good, so pick up some snacks too. I didn’t know what you would like, so I prepared everything.”

    “Thank you. Mother-in-law.”

    “It feels a little strange to be called mother-in-law.”

    I also feel a little uncomfortable being called mother-in-law or son-in-law.

    It’s worth it since you’re only twenty-six.

    “That’s right. There’s one more thing I’d like to ask…”

    “You can ask as many questions as you want.”

    “Really? So…what is it that my son-in-law likes about my daughter that makes him meet her?”

    “Uh…..”

    “Because you can be honest.”

    I never thought you would ask this.

    How best to answer?

    Really honestly?

    I fell in love with you because you were cute, pretty, kind, and kind?

    Don’t you think it’s a little strange?

    “I’m really curious about your sincerity.”

    “Well…. to be honest…”

    “Yes, yes. Hurry up and tell me.”

    “Cute…pretty…kind…and on top of that, he’s kind…”

    I just said it.

    The answer could be said to be a bit lacking, so I was a little cautious about what I said.

    However, my mother-in-law tilted her head and looked like she didn’t understand.

    “Really? Is Dahye kind?”

    “Because you came all the way to Busan for me.”

    “That’s right…. Suddenly, ‘I came down to Busan because I was worried about the writer.’ When he said that, I wondered what he was talking about and that’s what he said.”

    My mother-in-law nodded, saying that only then did everything make sense.

    He then poured some whiskey and drank it down.

    “Looking at it now, it seems like they fit together surprisingly well.”

    “Thank you?”

    “It’s an interrogative question, isn’t it? By the way, since Da-hye doesn’t seem to have any intention of becoming a doctor, the hospital should look for professional management.”

    “You’re still correcting it…”

    “Even so, I can only do it for another 20 to 30 years. That’s what being a doctor is like.”

    It seems that he didn’t have any desire for his daughter to become a doctor.

    In the case of hospitals, only people with a medical license can run them.

    Still, since it’s a foundation, shouldn’t Da-hye be the chairman?

    I’m not sure.
