Returned to Being Handsome 554

Chapter 554 – Chapter 554. Barbecue Party

We gathered at a barbecue facility in the pension and ate meat grilled over charcoal.

If you go a little forward from the pension, there is a barbecue.
There is a brazier, and there is also an iron plate on which you can grill meat.

You can prepare the meat ahead of time and use the utensils provided for a small fee.
And that kind of cost was nothing.

We bought enough meat in advance to eat enough for the number of people, took a seat at a table near the hearth, set the table, and ate the meat.

Everyone seemed happy.
And so did I.

Eating meat while chatting with people made me forget that I was on air and just happily spent my meal time laughing and chatting.

The meat is grilled in turn, and the rest of the members eat the grilled meat.

Since there are quite a few people, each of them has a story to tell.

“Hyung! Did you see the cafe on the way? It says it specializes in Ssanghwatang, but it looks really cool.”

“Are you a bit of an old man’s palate?”

“What kind of tea do you like?”

“Huh? I’m fine too. Shall we go tomorrow?”

“I heard that this area is famous for some berries?”

“Really? Are there raspberries grown around here?”

Since everyone does broadcasting with their own careers, they drink and talk as usual without feeling awkward at a dinner party like this.

I mingled with such people and ate wine with meat.

“Come on, Cheers!”

“Cheers!”

The drink tasted good.

Originally, I like alcohol, so I will probably do that too.
And for some reason, I think it would be better to grill it over charcoal like this outdoors.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to afford enough to buy good food from nearby restaurants.

And there’s even more time than that.
The time I spend researching my own content, the time I spend doing joint or solo broadcasting, even if I exclude these times, I have more time than before.

Even when I was preparing for the civil service exam, I woke up early in the morning and devoted myself to studying until late at night when the large academy’s self-study room closed.
Compared to that time, even if I work hard now, I can coordinate my own time, so it’s better.

Also, the mood itself is different.
Everyone will.
I will have no choice but to live a life full of enthusiasm when I become a business owner and earn my own money, rather than when I receive pennies from a part-time job and let the person who hired me earn a lot more money.

It’s been a while since I’ve lived that kind of life.

I thought as I tilted my glass while watching the crew members laughing and chatting while eating delicious alcohol, meat, and various vegetables.

‘There were times when it was difficult in the past.’

In the past, there were times when I felt like there was nothing left to study or work.

There was a time when I took it for granted that I was not living for myself, but that I was working for someone else as an employer in a part of someone else’s life.

There are definitely aspects of such a life that can be thought of positively.
That’s because there’s something about stability.

If you live as an employee, you can save money, get married, and raise a family.
It will be a very positive factor in life.
I didn’t know when I was younger.
How much ability, effort, and sincerity it takes to lead such an ordinary life.

But now I know.
It’s really hard to live a normal life.

In that respect, it is also very meaningful to become an employer and live by creating a stable place to live.

Conversely, if you throw an adventure number like me, you may not have a back.

No, rather, you shouldn’t live a life like me normally.

Because the place I’m in right now is also where, for example, if 30,000 people come in, 300 of them make a lot of money and the remaining 29,000 or more fail.

If you fail here, you can really ruin your life.

If you get a job, you have a stable life, but if you try and fail after starting a private business like this, it can be a serious career break.

These days, finding a decent job is a matter of picking stars in the sky, so it’s already difficult to get a job.
But then, if you become an old, experienced job who failed after trying something for a long time, rather than being a young newcomer or an old career job… Then, competitiveness will be further shattered.

That’s why taking an adventure has such a fatal flaw, and most people will often practice developing their specialties after work while they are at work when they say that they risk their lives.

There were such people among my acquaintances.

There was also a case of collecting salaries while working for a company to start a small business, and in that case, even if the small business was ruined, I would have been able to live by working at the company.
And he didn’t do the company work roughly, but he was treated as a fairly excellent talent and was an older brother who was living in the company.

And since I like books, if I buy a book at a bookstore and read it once in a while, there may be cases where writers of well-known books originally had full-time writers from the beginning, but surprisingly, people from other industries who have no relationship at all have worked as sidelines at first. There were quite a few cases.

In many cases, there are cases in which a company that makes a living maintains its job and stands out in a secondary job and succeeds in that field as well.

Of course, it’s not easy to be successful in one thing, but it can be difficult to do both well.

But surprisingly, there were often such cases around me.

Some of my older brothers did that and made their lives better.
And in my experience, in the case of those older brothers, while working on the sidelines, they did not do the company work roughly and worked harder, so they did not fall out of the company and went up better.

I think that kind of stability is also quite big.

The loss of stability can disqualify you from living a normal life.
It can be seen that its value and importance go up even more, especially in an era where it is difficult to find a job like recently.

I am a very special case.

The income of hundreds of millions of won a year has been continuing since the beginning of this year, and rather, it is not easy for the income to gradually increase.

And I thought that I would like to seize this opportunity that I got by luck more with effort, and I did a broadcast where I had fun drinking and eating meat with my colleagues.

It’s just to make the atmosphere more lively.

“Ah~, having a few drinks makes me feel better, so I’ll show you my Grandjeal reaction!”

“Oh come!”

Haha! Hey~! Jinhyeok-ah, run slowly!”

I ran for a short run and did a grandeel, a modern greeting that could be described as bowing in a position similar to a handstand, then got up again and danced.

Others danced after me.

Some even played music.

-Other, more, more, more, more~, …

We dance together, everyone laughs, and we are happy, and the tens of thousands of people who watch us having fun on TV are also happy.

And I really liked this moment to enjoy.

The reason I could really enjoy it was because I had financial freedom.

In a situation where hundreds of millions of won are coming in and income is increasing with an increasingly steep upward curve, I used to cherish nothing for my friends, family, lover, juniors, younger siblings, etc. The situation was getting better and better.

So I was genuinely happy, and I thought that my true nature would be expressed on the air as well.

If you really live a difficult life while broadcasting to make a living, you might have a hard time dealing with people with emotions that are different from your original emotions because broadcasts usually play dance songs or club music in a high-tension and excited atmosphere.

However, I had fun in reality, so I just had to do it with the mindset of enjoying it together while showing my emotions as they are, so I had a better side when I was on the air a little more.
