SHREDDED PIECES OF LIFE

As Zhu Si-Ho spoke, he thought about Areum, who was still in the hospital. Areum had lost a lot of blood, and the doctor had already given her two critical notices, but she reminded him not to blame Jungkook. She claimed Jungkook had lost his mother at a young age and felt unsafe, so he planned to steal his father away after his younger brother was born. That was why he had unintentionally done the wrong thing.

The more Zhu Si-Ho thought about it, the angrier he became. He hit him while shouting, "Lie!" "Keep lying!" Every time he spoke, the stick fell on Jungkook's body. His beating was brutal and insane; he was unaware that his phone had fallen into the snow. He did not stop until Jungkook had stopped screaming and struggling and was lying in the snow like a broken doll.

"Kneel here, and you can get up once Areum is safe!" Zhu Si-Ho said this and kicked him again before turning around and leaving. He had been irritated enough recently. There was a financial loophole in the company, and he had been begging for assistance for half a month but had yet to see the person. Areum fell down the stairs again today, and the son he had long hoped for was no longer with him. The repeated setbacks added up, and Jungkook just happened to run into the barrel of his gun. He let out all his rage on Jungkook.

Jungkook was hugging a shredded kitten doll. He struggled to get up, but as soon as he moved, he fell into the snow again. He felt like he was going to die. If he died, would he be able to see his mother again?

A muffled voice sounded next to Jungkook's ear: "Kookie, call your little uncle; his number is 299********, and his name is Kim Jae-Hyuk."

"Call..." Jungkook opened his eyes with difficulty and noticed a black phone in the snow. His survival instinct compelled him to crawl over desperately. His stiff fingers trembled as he pressed the number 299.

...

At the same time, in an ancient courtyard house called Masan-si, Old Kim was teaching someone something. "A year has passed. Jae-Hyuk, you stated that you could pass the chief physician exam this year. Where is it? "Where is the certificate?!"

The eight brothers of the Kim family stood together. Everyone lowered their heads and remained silent. Jae-Hyuk looked both left and right. Just as he was about to explain, Old Kim's tone changed, and he asked, "Also, four years have passed. Where is your sister? Have you not found her yet?! "You bunch of trash!"

The eight Kim brothers' expressions changed. They lowered their heads and did not speak. The eight brothers, who had previously appeared indifferent, now had a sad expression on their faces. Their sister, Kim Eun-Mi, had been in poor health since she was a child. Her family had carefully protected her for twenty years, but she vanished four years ago.

Jae-Hyuk was the attending physician. Jae-Hyuk had always been responsible for Eun-Mi's health. That day, he needed to save a critically ill patient. Eun-Mi became disoriented as a result of that single incident. Jae-Hyuk has suffered from self-blame and regret for the past four years. He had medical talent that no one could match, but for the past four years, he has been unable to move forward due to guilt.

The Kims had eight sons, and Eun-Mi was their only daughter. After her daughter disappeared, Old Madam Kim became seriously ill. Old Kim's temper became increasingly violent and strange. Every member of the Kim family felt a rock press down on their hearts, preventing them from breathing.

Kim Taehyung, the Kim family's eldest son, led the family's business empire. Since his younger sister, Eun-Mi, went missing, he has been expanding Kim Corporation's business portfolio. His health deteriorated as a result of his constant overtime work. He relied on medicine to nourish himself every day.

The second son of the Kim family, Kim Jong-Su, was the most outstanding pilot in the capital. After going missing, Eun-Mi did not pass the psychological exam, so he stopped flying and stayed at home to adjust.

The third son of the Kim family...

The atmosphere in the study gradually became silent. Jae-Hyuk's phone suddenly rang. Old Kim had certain rules. Phones could not be turned on during meetings. Jae-Hyuk quickly picked up his phone and attempted to hang up, but Old Kim snorted. "Answer it!"

Jae-Hyuk coughed and wanted to explain, "Dad, this is an unknown number. I..."

Old Kim dropped his teacup with a bang and said coldly, "Answer it! Set it to the speaker!"

The Kim family's other seven sons looked at Jae-Hyuk with sympathy. Jae-Hyuk had no option but to pick up the phone and press the speaker button. A small voice suddenly appeared in their ears. "Hello, is this Little Uncle? I am Kookie. My mother's full name is Kim Eun-Mi. Kim Jae-Hyuk, are you my little uncle?
