Chapter 289 – Chapter 289. Parents’ Childhood Dreams
We sat down together at a cafe and had a drink.
Jaeeun ordered a hot Americano, and I ordered a refreshing pineapple fresh fruit juice.
Jae-eun took a sip of her Americano and then she looked ahead and asked me.
“Have you ever gotten a number while working?”
I answered honestly.
“It’s kind of like that.”
“Were there a lot of unnies prettier than me?”
I looked at her chest.
Jaeeun is definitely in good shape.
However, she has had many approaches to me with women who have a better figure than she does.
“It shouldn’t be.”
“It’s a style that will be popular with women. Do you have any plans to try using it?”
As she suggested, she asked.
“Utilization?”
“Broadcast.”
“Ah~, no. That’s a bit.”
I waved my hand.
“Why? Wouldn’t it be nice to earn money for the rest of my life and earn it in 5 years?”
Jae-eun drank some of her coffee with a thin, flat straw again.
And she gave me a slightly puzzled look.
She told me again
“We are now twenty-seven.”
She could understand what she meant.
Broadcasting generally has an advantage over younger people.
Assuming that I pass the civil service exam, if I prepare for the civil service exam for a few years and then get older and start broadcasting, it is much more disadvantageous than broadcasting now.
While thinking about that, I took a few sips of cool pineapple juice and answered.
“I want to get a job where I have relatively little free time and play until I get married.”
“Do you work after that?”
“Uh. When you have a family, you have to be sincere.”
Home.
I’m thinking of playing enough until I get married, but after I have a family, I will be completely faithful to my family.
It may sound like a self-introduction, but growing up with a strict father and a benevolent mother, I spent happy times with my family.
In a way, this is the family I chose, and after the family I choose, I want to live happily with the family I choose.
Jae-eun invited me to broadcast and talked about her own personal connections.
She had connections with female cams her age, and major male cams that anyone who has watched a little bit of TV will know about.
When Jae-eun tells such stories, I tend to listen to the strange stories all the time.
In the middle of her story, she said, “Oh, he’s seen the show, too,” And I agreed, recalling the times when I watched the show.
I have been told that if I do a broadcast, it will not be difficult for her to introduce me.
Even though I was grateful for Jae-eun’s heart, I also thought that broadcasting doesn’t have much meaning because it doesn’t fit my tendency to not want to reveal myself that much.
“Shall we go?”
“Sure. If we go in now, will it be broadcast time?”
“Yes. If you calculate the time to prepare for the broadcast, it will be tight if you go in now.”
Jae-eun handed me one of the two pieces of light brown toilet paper that came with her coffee.
“Right. Seeing how the female cam is set up, it seemed like it would take a lot of time to prepare.”
“Hoho, that’s right. Ah, Jinhyeok. If you have a real broadcast idea, contact me. And if you think of my body again, you can contact me.”
Even as Jae-eun was playful, she said something from the heart.
As far as I can see, she also had a lot of men, but it was never her style.
That’s why she wanted to maintain her relationship with me by making the right lines on her own, rather than having to go out with me even while spending one night with me.
For me, it was just right and nice that she asked to see me from time to time in her free line. Even she wanted it first.
“Hello! Call me later, Jinhyeok!”
Jae-eun, who took a taxi in front of her cafe, lowered her car door, smiled broadly and waved her hand at her.
Her me, with her mask on, smiled slightly into her eyes and waved her hand at her towards her.
After Jae-eun was gone, I returned home.
Back at home, I sat down at my desk and studied again.
Jae-eun and I drank at night, then went to a motel and fucked each other naked in various positions and slept well, so we didn’t have much time.
Still, I immersed myself in my studies with all my might, with the mindset that the less time I had to focus on studying, the more I would work harder than usual.
As a result, higher efficiency came out than at other times, and I was able to fill the learning target quickly.
No matter how quickly I studied, the absolute amount of time was small, so I couldn’t fill the target amount, but with the mindset that I would do it, I vomited up my spirit of getting rid of about half of my usual amount of learning just by studying for three or four hours during the day.
About 10 minutes before I went to help my parents’ chicken restaurant, I went to the sofa in the living room and lay down.
As I closed my eyes, I heard my parents come out of the bedroom and talk.
I wasn’t in a state of sleep, and I was explosively engrossed in learning, and I was taking a break, so I saw my parents come out, and I lay down with my eyes open and looked at my parents.
My parents were all ready to go to the chicken house.
It was not like going to the office, so there was nothing so grandiose about preparation.
It’s not like putting gel on your hair in a suit, just going out in casual clothes.
“Has the rent gone through?”
“Yeah. Hey~, the money coming in has drastically decreased, but I don’t know why it seems like the money going out is increasing so much.”
Mom said while tying her long wavy hair.
Even after that, Mom talked about many difficult points.
And her dad told her mom to tell her.
“Shall we change the industry?”
“Are you talking about the real estate we talked about last time?”
“Uh.”
“It’s not that real estate isn’t affected by corona. And you have to earn money right away.”
“Yeah, what, heheum…”
After watching my parents stand and talk for a while, I swept my face with the palm of my right hand a few times and got up from where I was lying on the sofa.
Mom looked at me and said her words.
“Did Jinhyeok wake up? When did he come in? It looked like he was staying out, but I saw earlier that he was studying.”
“Um. Yes.”
When I answered appropriately, Dad spoke.
“When are you going back to Goshichon? It’s good that you do housework, but shouldn’t you study?”
“I’m leaving soon.”
I got up, put on my coat, and left the house with my parents.
Then, we all went to the chicken restaurant in Dad’s car.
Outside the window, people were sparsely wandering around.
Certainly, compared to before the corona crisis, I was able to feel that the number of people was reduced with the naked eye.
My dad drove, my mom sat in the passenger seat, and I was fiddling with my smartphone and talking to my dad.
“What was your dream when you were little?”
When I asked, Dad answered while driving, staring straight ahead.
“Um… He was a singer. Have you ever talked about it? I was going to release an album. When I was younger than you, I went to a music company and got counseling. Since you asked for it, can I do it?”
Is your dad a singer?
I remembered the father I knew.
It seems that he went to a karaoke room with his mom, but he also went to a karaoke room with his dad, but he was good at singing.
I didn’t see it often when I grew up, but when I was young, I also remembered how my dad often sang songs while playing simple chords on the guitar.
When he sang, his dad didn’t think of any audience or how sophisticated his guitar playing was, he seemed only immersed in the song itself, so it seemed to feel something in a positive way.
At least when I listened to it, even if it wasn’t to the point where I was just that good as a singer, thinking about it, at least there was never a time when I didn’t feel like listening to my dad’s songs.
As Dad spoke, her mom, who was sitting in the passenger seat, spoke her words to me, still looking straight ahead of her.
“Jinhyuk. Your dad, if the chicken restaurant becomes a hit, I’ll release an album later. What do you think, Jinhyeok?”
I decided to tell it as it is.
“I think my dad’s songs are good. It’s like he’s completely absorbed in something. I remember when I was young, my dad used to play the guitar and sing in the room once in a while. It’s not like he’s a great singer, but he’s accurate in terms of pitch and tempo. I think it is. Well… If income is not the goal, but if it’s a commemorative album, wouldn’t it be okay to actually make it later when you have some spare time? I think so.”
As I spoke, my mother spoke to me.
“It would be nice if we could afford it… Jinhyeok-ah, do you know how much is left in our store this month?”
“It’s difficult these days, but between 500 and 1,000?”
“I hope so. Since I took everything off, I have 140 left for this month.”
“Net profit 140? Not a day, but a month?”
I looked into her mother’s eyes in the room mirror above the front.
Her mother’s expression looked quite serious.
“Wow. Then the labor cost will be less than that of one part-time worker. Right now. Will it get better when the corona is over…”
I knew from the beginning that the chicken restaurant my parents run was going into more and more decline.
It seemed that it became more serious in this corona crisis.
“I don’t care about that. You have to do your job. Helping you is good, but how long are you going to spend all your time studying? Stop here to cool down for a few days. After work today, I’ll drive you to the high school.”
“Wouldn’t it be better if I stayed a few more days?”
“You’re studying.”
Dad seemed to want me to go back to goshichon.
It was difficult for family work to become difficult, and apart from that, it was my parents’ heart that they wanted me to do well as a public servant.
“Jinhyeok. And are you really going to be stubborn? If Dad sends money, why do you send it back to your account? Huh? If Dad gives, you get it.”
“No. I have money.”
“What kind of money do you have, Inum?”
“There’s not much to write about.”
Both of what I said were true.
I didn’t tell my parents in case they would worry, but I have money because I worked for half a year to earn money.
Also, as a handsome man, it is difficult for me to spend money even if I want to, because there are many cases where beautiful women do not even let me take out my wallet.
And I think this is right.
It is also for me in a way.
If I borrowed my parents’ money and spent it, it seemed that I could get used to it and get used to it forever.
I want to get stronger
Even if I am a lion cub, I think that I cannot become strong if the mother lion feeds me, so I deliberately rejected my parents’ support and challenged myself in this world.
In most cases, except for a few cases, I think there is a high probability that this side will allow for faster social growth.
“Anyway, go in today.”
“Hmm…”
He thought he might have to go back to the goshichon today because his father said so much.
Before that, I had a question.
It was a father’s dream and a mother’s dream.
These days, I have time to think about the future a little once again, so I was curious about what my dad and mom wanted to do.
Leaning slightly forward in the back seat, I asked her mother too.
“What was your mother’s dream?”
“Ugh, well, back in the day, women didn’t have anything like that. Even now, well, just earning money and living well with your family, buying things, going out to play, that’s a dream.”
“Aside from that, isn’t there anything in particular you wanted to do?”
“Um, something like that…”
Mom thought for a while before answering.
