chapter 1
The junk car spoke.
tall.
I stopped at a used car market near Bupyeong.
It’s because I came here with the intention of buying a car and leaving somewhere.
“Which car do you want?”
I had to choose the cheapest car possible because all I had was 10 million won for living expenses, which I did not know how much I could endure.
I wanted to say that I wanted to buy the cheapest car here, but I couldn’t face it.
“It would be nice to have a classic car that is easy to tune. It’s easy to chill out.”
“Ah.. calm . Please follow me.”
A young, not-so-good-looking employee looked me up and down, then mended a broken pair of sneakers and led me to a park of used cars.
I couldn’t find the used car I wanted for over an hour.
The cheapest one was a compact car, but it was too narrow for a car.
The exhausted employee’s face turned into a more and more annoyed expression.
“The price range that the boss wants is not here.”
“I can’t help it. I’ll have to go to the place where I bought it before and find out.”
As for the car, I was also familiar with it.
At first glance, it is clear that the car was in an accident, but when they say it is not, I cannot believe it.
In the case of an accident vehicle, sheet metal is applied and painted over, so there is a clear color difference outdoors in sunlight.
‘No matter how cheap it is, people say they buy used cars, but this isn’t the case.’
“Boss, boss.”
Before I could get out of the parking lot building, I heard a sound coming from around the corner.
“Did you call me?”
“Yes, yes, our staff has not been doing this for a while, so I don’t know. I was supposed to go with you from the beginning, but I’m busy, so I’m sorry. Will you follow me?”
‘It should have come out like this. Did the boss come out knowing he wasn’t Hogu? I feel a bit like that.’
Anyway, I followed Kim Seong-geun, the president of Samsong Middle and High School, who gave me a business card and showed friendly feelings.
“Did you say you want a car worth 2-3 million won?”
“yes.”
It seemed possible to live for several months with the remaining money.
With this amount of time and money, I think I can recharge my energy to some extent to get my mind together and make a fresh start.
Nothing else. I just wanted to leave this heartless downtown.
Three years ago, I was a civil servant in charge of culture.
After witnessing bribery, interests and preferential treatment of my superiors, I refused the private contract, which was taken for granted, and placed a bid elsewhere, but the boomerang came to me.
After that..
The head of the department, a boss who shouted that contracts were natural, insulted and humiliated fellow employees and juniors in front of them, and perpetrated emotional abuse and even personnel abuse.
The director’s covert bullying continued for several months.
It was more spectacle to see junior employees and fellow employees who sympathized with the director rather than the director, saying that he hates people who instigate fights without interfering with them.
I just couldn’t stand it.
“Insignificant tribes. I can’t sell my soul in a place like this.”
I gave up my wish to retire, saying that the middle school would leave if I did not like temples.
He retired after 5 years as a civil servant.
And ambitiously started self-employment.
Jeong Yeon-ji, my wife of the same age, understood me and supported my new start.
At first, the business was good and it was quite good.
However, the happy times did not last long.
Because the epidemic broke out right away.
To make matters worse, the 100 million loans invested in coins without his wife’s knowledge turned into pieces of toilet paper overnight.
Instead of making money, the money flowed out like water leaking through a hole in a dam.
Debts continued to rise as the monthly rent of the closed chicken restaurant continued to rise, and the family came to the brink of collapse.
“Johun, let’s get a divorce. I don’t want to live like this anymore.”
“…”
I didn’t have anything to say about Jeongyeonji’s words.
It seemed that he got married before he was 30 and settled down early, but the world did not go so smoothly.
The words, “Should I really do that?” rose up in my throat, but I couldn’t get them out.
Yeonji’s words were similar to the words that each of us should live on our own.
It’s because his salary is entirely used to pay off his debt.
In a way, I couldn’t blame her for her decision.
Others say they leave for Jeju Island to live for a month or a year, but I wanted to get rid of many things and fill up with positive energy.
I didn’t even want to make any specific plans.
“People’s lives don’t go as planned. From today, no plan is my plan.”
Aren’t coins, epidemics, and divorce really unforeseen and unforeseen bad news?
I had to have a car to do the chabak.
It would be really nice to buy a camper, but I was unimpressed with my situation because it cost tens of millions of won.
“If you’re going to use it for leisure sports, there’s a car that’s a bit old, but suitable for today’s times.”
President Kim Seong-geun said as he removed the dust-covered tarpaulin that was buried in a pile of trash in a corner of the parking lot building where sunlight did not reach.
“It’s Moosong, a hit in the 90s.”
“!”
“And the second car… the first one in Musong… So it’s the first one released. First. That’s how meaningful it is. hahahahaha.”
Whether that’s true or not,
Moosong of commercial vehicles, which can be said to be the origin of SUVs that are currently in vogue.
Although, the tire was blown out and sat down, the old exterior with the paint peeling off in places, and the traces of old dust, it was dirty, but the classic’s majesty was still there.
“I like this car because it can be used very widely if you take out the back seat.”
I liked it, but had to check it out.
“It wasn’t an accident, was it?”
“If you get into an accident, we will give you a full refund.”
“I don’t think it will start.”
“I’ll jump up and walk you. But, you’ll have to buy a new battery…”
I had to judge quickly.
“If you just change the battery and tires, I’ll take it right away for 250.”
“That’s right, gossip.”

“Wow, no, where did you find these antiques? Does the car roll?”
Na Sang-gyu, the successor to the army who runs the auto service center, is constantly surprised.
“oh my god. The performance is better than cars these days.. but it’s not bad?”
“Still, take care if there is anything wrong. Change the engine oil and transmission oil, and check the alignment.”
Even at that time, Musong was truly unmatched as a popular car.
Even when driving with other companies’ Gallopuck, it couldn’t catch up with the smooth acceleration of Moosong.
“The car is almost 30 years old, but it is in very good condition. listen to the engine It’s much smoother than a car that’s only a few years old. Isn’t it rare?”
“Yes.”
In fact, the sound of the engine sounded much softer than that of the new Sorentina.
Although I sold it a while ago because of debt.
After the inspection, I took the car to the camping car factory run by Uncle Na Sang-gyu.
It was planned to remove all the rear seats, install a living room, kitchen, and mini refrigerator, and install a rooftop by drilling through the ceiling.
The camper manufacturer’s employees are also surprised to see Musong.
“No, where did you get this rare car? I have a request for Sang-gyu, honey.. I will make all of them good products at a low price.”
After all, Korea is a network.
“thank you.”
a few days later
I packed my things in the gosiwon and went to pick up the car.
The luggage was minimal camping equipment and a few clothes.
“and.”
When I saw Moosong, which is equipped with the latest trend in car accessories in a classic SUV, I was amazed.
When the back seat was removed, the car looked very wide, and when an awning was installed on the roof top outside, it gave off a fusion and fresh feeling, and for some reason it seemed that there was no separate mobile villa.
The thought of enjoying the freedom to the fullest while eating and sleeping here makes me feel better.
“…How many years have you felt this way?”
It was the first time in the past three years that I felt this kind of happiness, so I was moved to tears.
In the meantime, the pride that had fallen to the floor and the feeling of helplessness and helplessness that had blown away all the property. Indescribable emotions, such as insults that cannot be explained in words, were intricately intertwined.
In case I burst into tears in front of Uncle Sang-gyu, I quickly thanked him and had to clean up the place.
“I really like it. Thank you for your good work.”
“It’s fortunate that you liked it~ Sang-gyu said that he received a lot of help during his military life and begged him to take good care of him. A/S is also available.”
“All right. thank you.”
I loaded the travel package I had brought into the Moosong and sat in the driver’s seat.
“uh? What is this? Is it because of the mood? For some reason, it feels more comfortable than before?”
The seats were untouched, but it felt much more comfortable than before, so I had to look around.
“Why are you drawing?”
“The sheets are quite soft, aren’t they?”
“The sheets are the same as before.”
“Yes? Maybe it makes me feel more comfortable because of my mood.”
“Major~ That’s how people originally think. Let’s think positively about everything. huh?”
I greeted the employees of the company and drove towards the chabak place.

Exclamations flowed from my lips as I drove on the West Coast Expressway outside of Seoul.
“Wow, how can this be!”
The drivability and comfort of a 30-year-old crap car is this much.
It was smoother and more powerful than the new car I recently disposed of.
The smoothness of the steering wheel, the engine’s rpm that rises smoothly and in a short time even when you step on the accelerator pedal deeply, the comfort of the seat, and the wide view as if you were sitting in the cockpit of an airplane.
For the price, there was nothing to complain about.
“It feels good. Let’s stop by the rest area and grab a quick bite.”
buzz buzz.
Stop by the rest stop and let’s get to know each other. Elvan Squid. I buy Ice America, etc., and I see some people looking at my car, Moosong, which is parked.
“excuse me.”
There were so many people standing around that I could squeeze in, so I had to ask for forgiveness and sit in the driver’s seat.
You did a good job tuning the classic car. I don’t know if the car is rolling. On the highway, our car also passed easily… and so on.
Seeing people gossiping and leaving their seats made me feel better, and I solved the snack with a happy heart.
Normally, it would have been a pitiful or pitiful situation, but now it was different.
Feeling the dopamine of happiness bursting in your brain?
Although it was a snack eaten in the car, a feeling of happiness seemed to permeate the whole body.
“Since you have a good stomach, shall we start soon?”
Vureung.
I left the rest stop and ran on the highway, leaving people’s attention behind.
Unbeknownst to me, a hum came out.
“Would you like to listen to some music?”
It was the moment I was about to touch the switch on Musson’s radio.
[Acquire 1 point of self-efficacy]
[Acquire 1 Flexibility]
[Accept 1 point each for affirmation and acceptance]
“Where is this sound coming from? The radio wasn’t even on.”
The absurd sounds that can only be heard in games made my hands on the steering wheel tense up.
finally,
[Succeeded in refilling 1 fuel of Galaxy]
“What… what?”
[As a reward, you can drive the Galaxy autonomously. Do you want to run it?]
“What bullsh*t is this?”
Kiki.
I had to turn abruptly to the sleepy shelter.
Doongdoongi and Galaxy
“What bullsh*t is this? Did the 30-year-old sh*t talk?! now?”
profit.
I stopped driving and hurriedly turned the car over to a shelter for sleepiness, and a car following behind me also came in, opened the window, and stuck out its head.
I must have been surprised because he came in so quickly as if he were drafting.
“Is there a problem? Are you okay.”
The car was making strange noises… No, it was impossible to say that the car was talking.
“Ah.. yes yes… it’s nothing.”
It was two men who were looking at the car at a rest stop saying that they were envious.
“The car is really antique and antique. Drive safely.”
“Yes, yes. Drive safely.”
Booung.
After their car left the shelter, they got out of the car and looked around.
“what? Is that the sound coming from the car?”
I wonder if I heard it in the car.
What is clear is that it was before I turned on the radio.
I got away from the car, stared at Musson, and made phone calls here and there.
Sang-gyu’s uncle, who remodeled the car to make it easy to use, and Kim Seong-geun, the owner of a used car who sold the car.
To Sang-gyu, who last cleaned the car.
Everyone’s opinion is that they haven’t found anything wrong with the car.
My thoughts are the same.
then,
“I must have heard it wrong, I’m so excited, damn it. An old-fashioned car without a black box is self-driving. It’s unsympathetic. Kuck.”
It wasn’t Moosong who stole my gaze as I was shaking off my thoughts and preparing myself.
nucleus nucleus nucleus.
“Uh..uh..!”
A dog running from a dangerous shoulder with a long tongue hanging out.
I doubted my eyes.
