Chapter 111 – Meeting the Woman Who Is the Final Puzzle Piece
After seeing Kim So-yoon off, I packed my bag containing my laptop and writing utensils and headed to the center to meet the woman who would be the final piece of the puzzle.
“Hello.”
“You came early, right? I thought I would come early too.”
“I just came too. Here are the materials.”
Since the training location was a small center, the number of trainees was small.
Two weeks before starting practice on Monday, August 5th, there was only one person I met at orientation.
However, a woman with an ordinary appearance, an ordinary body, and a fellow trainee is not the final piece of the puzzle I am aiming for.
“What is it?”
“The supervisor handed it out. It contains an introduction to the institution, welfare programs, and a training schedule.”
The Supervisor who handed out materials to fellow trainees was not a piece of the puzzle,
On the page where the practice schedule was written, the day to meet the last puzzle piece was written.
On Friday, the last day of this week’s practicum, the social worker who will explain the home welfare program is the final piece of the puzzle.
In everyday life, if Bae Ye-jin keeps the lovers at the center,
As the final piece of the puzzle, women must be the center of their romantic relationships at work.
“What are you looking at so intently?”
“Itinerary. By the way, since we are the same age, we decided to talk more easily the next time we meet.”
“Uh… Well, it’s a little awkward since I haven’t seen you in a long time…”
“A little right?”
“Huh…?!”
It’s not good for the two trainees to have a bad relationship.
The female classmate I found out at orientation wasn’t stupid or strange, and we got along well, so there were only good things about it.
“Taeyang, what did you do with your hair?”
When she first let go of her words, her classmate, who was shocked, put her words at ease in just a few minutes.
“Wig, I have to go back to blonde hair after practice is over. Nayoung, did you dye your hair?”
“Yes, I dyed my hair black again.”
My female classmate called me by my name first, and I also called my female classmate by her name.
“Good job, you were both embarrassed to be pointed out at OT.”
“Yeah, no, I was planning on dyeing my hair before O.T. But, on that day, a friend from high school came to visit and canceled the reservation…”
Nayoung Choi, my classmate, started talking a lot, and I stopped listening to her before I got tired.
Still, she definitely preferred to talk a lot rather than nothing,
The break room was noisy until the supervisor managing the practice came in at 9:10.
“Didn’t you know that student Nayoung tends to talk a lot when she’s with friends?”
The supervisor appeared to be in his 40s, and other than his gentle smile, there were no notable features.
“Both of you, what is your MBTI?”
“I’m an ENFP!”
“I don’t know exactly, but it started with E.”
After relieving the tension in the break room with a question that the supervisor had asked last year as well,
In order to increase intimacy with trainees, conversations were led using the information written in the profiles.
“Student Nayoung has a lot of volunteer experience?”
“Yes, I went there every weekend because it was close to my house. The people at the welfare center were also kind…”
Choi Na-young, who likes to tell her own story, became more talkative this time, and Supervisor responded appropriately and wrote something on her paper.
‘It won’t be a practical evaluation, will it just write down things like personality?’
The conversation between Supervisor and Nayoung Choi was fun to listen to.
Choi Na-young chattering excitedly, and Supervisor looking at her happily, busily playing with her pen,
As soon as the conversation ended, people who did what they wanted to do together brightened their expressions.
10 minutes was enough time for the supervisor and Choi Na-young to build rapport,
The atmosphere in the break room became more relaxed, which gave me an advantage as well.
“Taeyang goes to the same university as Soyoon. Do you know each other by any chance?”
Supevaiser said the words I expected with a bright expression.
Kim So-yoon, a fourth-year student in the Department of Social Welfare, did her first practicum at a welfare center during the summer vacation of her third year.
Thanks to this, she was able to freely choose an institution such as the center for her second practice,
To fulfill my request, Kim So-yoon chose a center that had relatively less work compared to a welfare center.
“We have been close friends since first grade. I applied after learning that Soyoon’s older sister had practiced here.”
“Are you close?”
“Yes, he helped me with my assignments and talked a lot about the center.”
“Hmm… I see, did you hear what kind of work they do?”
Although this may not be the case in all cases, there were more welfare centers willing to teach trainees, and more centers receiving support for miscellaneous tasks from trainees.
The multicultural family support center that I chose to follow Kim So-yoon is not much different,
Trainees were often tasked with organizing documents or neatly organizing files.
“Yes, you heard right. We want to teach you many things, but the center has few programs and is short on manpower.”
I didn’t become a supervisor for nothing.
Based on the story I heard from Kim So-yoon, she informed me of the poor quality and insufficiencies of the welfare center, and also briefly explained her practicum schedule.
The light atmosphere suddenly became heavy, and Choi Na-young, who was across from her, was deeply immersed in Supervisor’s words.
I couldn’t see a way to intervene, and I didn’t want to find one, so I waited for the supervisor’s words and Choi Na-young’s sympathy to end.
“Taeyang, didn’t Soyun discover one of her benefactors?”
“No. Did that So-yoon sister find her sponsor? She couldn’t do it because she didn’t want to say bad things to others.”
“I’m close with So-yoon. I know her personality well, but what does she do when she does it?”
The supervisor, who had made the friendly atmosphere heavy in an instant, changed the atmosphere again with a single expression and word.
“This year, thanks to So-yoon, she received a lot of donations, so Taeyang looks good. Ah! Isn’t that giving her good grades in practice?”
The supervisor, who started off with Kim So-yoon’s story, joked about the practical evaluation,
I also laughed at the joke and hid the fact so as not to ruin the friendly atmosphere.
I am the sponsor that Kim So-yoon discovered, and there is only one person at the center who can tell this fact.
“The story was so interesting that you didn’t notice the passage of time. Today is the first day, so there is no work, and the social workers will come into the break room whenever they have time. You can just say hello to them comfortably. Nayoung, you can do it, right?”
“Yes! You can do it!”
“Yes, it’s good that you’re brave. I think Taeyang will be more comfortable than me, so I won’t ask?”
“Yes, I will also say hello to you comfortably.”
At 9:30, the supervisor explained the practice schedule and assignments and left the break room.
“Taeyang, why are you taking out your laptop?”
“I have to keep a practice log and study, so I have to do it when I have time, so I can go home and feel comfortable.”
The center’s social workers wait and come into the lounge.
Rather than waiting for people who don’t know when they will arrive, it was better to finish the work as promised to Kim So-yoon.
Choi Na-young understood what I meant and took out her laptop, and the two of us waited for the social worker to come in.
Even after 10 o’clock and 11 o’clock, and 2 hours after the supervisor left the break room, in the end, the meeting with the social worker did not occur.
“Aren’t you going to have lunch?”
“Uh, bring a packed lunch and eat that, you eat it.”
“Ah… Lunch box, okay, I’ll go to the convenience store at least. See you later?”
Even at 12 o’clock and lunchtime, no one was looking for the two of us, and even though Choi Na-young went out, I stayed in the break room.
“Huh?”
“Ah, hello, I’m Taeyang Kim, a trainee.”
The last piece of the puzzle, the social worker responsible for her home care, did not meet with her on Friday.
A beautiful woman named Gomsang came into the lounge where she was left alone because she did not follow Nayoung Choi.
“Yes, hello. I’m Jo Yu-jin, a social worker. I heard that trainees would be coming from today, but I was busy with work, so I forgot about it for a while.”
Yoojin Cho, the last piece of the puzzle I was aiming for had been in the works for several months.
“It’s okay. I heard from Soyoon that Monday is a busy day for social workers.”
“… Do you know Soyun?”
“It’s not that we know each other, but we are close friends. My older sister told me a lot about Teacher Jo Yu-jin.”
While So-yoon Kim was practicing at her center for the first time at her university, she formed a good relationship with Yu-jin Cho.
Jo Yu-jin received help from Kim So-yoon in her home welfare program, which she is in charge of,
Even after her training was over, we became close enough to occasionally send messengers to exchange greetings.
“How are you doing, Soyun?”
“Well, she saw me this morning too and nagged her teacher to be good to her.”
Of course, everything that Kim So-yoon formed and maintained a close relationship with Jo Yu-jin was my request.
Of course, I never heard Kim So-yoon nag, but Jo Yu-jin didn’t doubt it.
Just as if to confirm that I was a close junior to Kim So-yoon, Jo Yu-jin sat right next to me and took out her cell phone.
“Wait a minute.”
The woman who had to take out the lunch box took out her cell phone first, and after asking for my understanding, she called someone.
It was clear that he had called Kim So-yoon,
Instead of talking to Jo Yu-jin, I approached her and admired her beauty and body.
Jo Yu-jin, with her black hair tied in a ponytail, had a simple face without makeup.
These days, Ha Seo-eun lets her hair down more often,
Her ponytail was subtly attractive, and even her peerless eyes, delicate nose and lips, and soft jaw line were somehow sexy.
‘My hips is crazy…’
When I tried to apply force downward, my gaze also went down.
Even though her breasts were just full, the line from her slender waist to her voluptuous hips was crazy, giving off a strong, erotic feeling.
[Hello?]
“Soyoon, Eugene is your older sister. Can I talk to you for a moment?”
And when Kim So-yoon’s voice came out of the phone speaker, her matchless eyes slowly closed.
[Yes, it is possible… Sister, did Taeyang do something wrong?]
“Sister, I did something wrong from day one.”
[What… Was Eugene with her sister? She asked because it was you?]
Jo Yu-jin smiled like a baby bear and covered her lips with her hand. She gently waved her hand opposite hers, asking him to continue talking.
“I didn’t do anything wrong, we met in the break room.”
[You will meet her sister in the break room… Oh, Eugene, did you pack a lunch box?]
“Yes, I got into the habit of eating the lunch box Soyun brought, and now I feel bloated when I eat outside.”
[That lunch box was packed by the kid next to her older sister. She helped me get to work, but did you know that she helped me with assignments and test questions?]
“… Huh? No, ah… Yeah.”
The fact that Jo Yu-jin came to the break room during lunchtime was also influenced by Kim So-yoon.
Last winter vacation, about six months ago, there was a day when I packed Kim So-yoon’s lunch box and Jo Yu-jin’s lunch box as well.
Jo Yu-jin, who heard the unexpected words, canceled her speakerphone and glanced in my direction.
