Chapter 273 – Chapter 273 Welfare Center
Thanks to the graduation ceremony being Friday, the next day and the day after that were Saturdays, and the days after that were Sundays, so I spent time mingling with women all day long as if I was trying to have sex that I hadn’t been able to do all 4 weeks.
Time passed like that, Monday came on a weekday, and now it’s time to really serve in the military as a public interest.
Obviously, I was assigned to the social welfare center, but I was told to come to the city hall, so I headed to the city hall.
There, half-hearted public interest who seemed to be in a similar situation to me were sitting on chairs and staring blankly at their phones.
The atmosphere is so awkward that I even think about getting to know each other on foot, but since we won’t see each other again once we get out of here anyway, we decided to wait tirelessly for someone to come pick us up from the office.
After 10 or 20 minutes passed, a city hall official called one of the public servants and took him out.
Then he called another person and took him out.
Like this, when someone from the place of work picks me up, I think I get up right then and there.
When there were only two people left waiting out of ten, I laughed as if it was absurd.
It’s already been almost an hour, but I still don’t think about coming, so I’m getting dissatisfied with what the hell I’m doing.
The city hall official came to see me again and took the other person with me out.
“What…? I’m not coming?”
Daewoo is an open class.
Absurdity came because it was not enough to take a leave of absence from the university that I had been attending without taking a leave of absence, and it was slow to bring it back.
Well, it would not have been the people from the welfare center who forcibly sent the public service, but the arrow of my dissatisfaction was heading towards them.
[Nayoung] Did you arrive well?
At this point, Nayoung sent her talk, not doubting that she would be going through the process of getting to know the people there after arriving at the place of work.
[Me] No… They haven’t come to pick me up yet.
[Nayoung] Really? Are you still Is it 10:30 now?”
[Me] So. I don’t know why you’re not coming
I was told to come by 9 o’clock, and I came by 9 o’clock, and I was told to wait for an hour and a half, but I remained in the city hall as if I had been abandoned.
As if revealing his frustration, he banged his fingers on the table and shook his legs.
[Nayoung] So, can I not go today? Shall I pick you up?
When I was here, I didn’t bother to bring my car because someone from the place of work would come out and take me.
That’s why, if he doesn’t come, he says he won’t go today and Na-yeong will come pick him up.
[I’m fine. If you don’t come, you can take a taxi or subway and go home.
Perhaps she still wants to stick with me more, Nayoung gave up all the lectures she was listening to and showed her willingness to come by her side, and her laughter flowed out.
Frustrated, the fingers pounding on the table and the shaking legs stopped in an instant.
[Me] If you don’t come by 11 o’clock, I’ll check it out. I’ll talk to you again at that time, so listen carefully to the lecture.
[Nayoung] Yeah… Okay.
I feel like I want to talk more, but I hold back and dye my smartphone screen black.
Another time of patience and waiting.
I will be there before 11 o’clock.
I looked at the door, muttering, “I won’t come before then.”
Soon after, around the time the long hand of the clock points to the number 11.
Urgent footsteps could be heard outside.
“Ah. I’m sorry I’m late. I’m really sorry.”
A woman who seemed to be in middle age opened the door and apologized straight away, saying she was sorry for me who was left alone.
Also,
“I had something urgent to do on the way, but it took a while, right? So I’m a little late. I’m sorry.”
When he made excuses and asked for understanding, I smiled and shook my head.
“It’s okay. You can.”
I’m busy with work. What should I do?
Even if we fight again, it’s been 1 year and 9 months. A total of 21 months. I like it or hate it, so I have to work face-to-face often at the same welfare center.
And people can be late. I am a person with a wide heart enough to get angry that I came 30 minutes after the last person I was with had gone.
“Really? Thank you very much. I’ll buy you a coffee on the way.”
“Thank you.”
“Thank you. Ah… Let’s go quickly. It’s too late.”
“Yes.”
I followed him and left the city hall.
When I came here, the sun, which had been over the mountain, was rising high above the sky before I knew it.
“Let’s sleep. Get on quickly.”
Heading to the parking lot of City Hall, we got into a morning car with a sticker that says Tteokhani Welfare Center.
Since the car itself is so small, even sitting in the passenger seat, my knees were touching the dashboard.
It was the first time this had happened, so I was embarrassed but not to the extent that I couldn’t stand it, so I decided to go a little uncomfortable.
“Is your car a bit small?”
Unlike me, the person at the welfare center, who didn’t feel uncomfortable at all, asked with a smile.
“It’s kind of like that, but it’s okay.”
Compared to the training camp, where there was no time to be alone and no sex, this place was heaven itself.
“It doesn’t look like it to me… Haha. If I had known it would be this big, I would have brought a mid-size car.
He smiled awkwardly and started the car.
“Ah. By the way, I’m Kim Mi-ye. Like you, I’m in charge of the public interest within the welfare center. Feel free to call me Teacher Mi-ye.”
“Yes. Teacher Miye. Thank you very much.”
After introducing herself as a person in charge of the public interest, she asked me to call her Miss Mi Ye, and I immediately called her and bowed my head.
“What’s your name?”
“I’m Lee Ji-hoon.”
“Ji-hoon? That’s a great name. It’s so cool that my parents seemed to have put a lot of thought into it when they made it.”
While praising that it was a cool name, he went further and began to praise my parents for having a sense of naming their parents without hesitation.
Do I have to be at the peak of my social life? It’s been a long time since I’ve been in the mood for no reason, and the complaint about the late arrival has completely disappeared.
“You’re young, but don’t you go to college?”
She asked if it was because she didn’t go to college, saying that it was really difficult to come to public service at my age, like picking stars from the sky.
“No. I went to college and took a leave of absence.”
“At school? Aren’t you still in the first grade? How did it go?”
In order to go to public service after going to college, you have to apply for a place of work, but in the first or second year.
So, it was really difficult to live a public life for the two years right after the physical examination, and even if you were lucky, it was basically in the second year, on average, in the third year.
However, during my freshman year, I was assigned to public service.
“I don’t know either. I was just going around normally, but he suddenly told me to go. So I shaved my head and went to the training center…”
“Hehe… It’s amazing. It could be like that. It’s the first time I’ve heard of it.”
“Me too.”
The Military Manpower Administration sent me to the public service as if something were being pursued.
It is a reasonable doubt considering that the physical examination gave me a grade 1, and I was only in the first grade, but I was appointed right away.
I think they probably heard that I had a physical examination from upstairs.
But I’m not sure what that has to do with it, but the results aren’t bad, so I decided not to care.
“What do you want to eat?”
A welfare center car stopped at a drive-thru while speeding down the road.
Teacher Miye asked me as if she was trying to keep her promise to buy me coffee in return for being late.
“Ah, please.”
I decided to order the cheaper one.
“Ah? You can eat the expensive ones.”
Then, Miye-sensei said as if she could eat something a little more expensive.
Don’t do it, I shook my head and said I’d just eat it, and Miye had no choice but to order two drinks.
So, ah, I received two glasses, put my mouth through a straw, and started heading to the welfare center again.
“Sam.”
“Huh?”
“Can I bring my car to the welfare center?”
The distance from my home to the welfare center was a little longer than I thought.
It wouldn’t be a big problem if I took public transportation, but the time it took was such a waste.
I need to sleep a little more or go home a little faster, but I don’t see the need to spend that time heading to or waiting for public transport.
I had a lot of money in the first place, so I didn’t have to save a car.
“There’s still space in the parking lot for employees, so I can just go there… Do you already have a car?”
Teacher Miye was quite taken aback by the fact that I, who had just become an adult, already had a car.
“Yeah… Well, that’s right.”
“Oh… Did you buy the car yourself or did your parents buy it for you?”
Of course, I think it will be the latter.
“I bought it myself. I made some money.”
“Ohh. How cold is it?”
I fell into trouble at the moment when I asked a question full of curiosity without being pure.
Among the cars I have, there are domestic cars, but the problem is that the car came out with the name of a luxury product, so it was quite expensive.
“Janesys.”
“What… Janesis?”
Even though he had earned some money at a young age, he seemed surprised to hear that he was driving a luxury car even though it was domestic.
“About that.”
I have to say that I’m glad I didn’t even ask what series it was.
There is a huge difference in the amount of money for each series, but the cheapest car I own was 100 million won.
Hmm… It might be a little bit if you ride too expensive, so I decided to seriously think about buying a cheap car.
