Chapter 1259 – Even in the Family, Money Matters Are Thoroughly
“Ugh, it’s cold.”
If I had known it would be this cold, I would have worn a long padding like the devil instead of a coat. I shrank as much as I could, put my hands in my pockets, and looked at the café where Sehee had entered.
“Brother. Sorry. “It’s a bit crowded.”
At that moment, Sehee was coming out with a cup of coffee in each hand. She approached me and held out the coffee in her right hand.
“Here, my brother’s favorite Americano.”
“I wanted to eat something sweet.”
“No. Americano is the cheapest.”
“Hey.”
I took the paper cup while glaring at the smiling Sehee. I carefully sipped the contents, feeling the warmth even through the cupholder.
“Hurup, is this hot chocolate?”
“Oh, it’s changed from mine. “Give it to me.”
“No. “I’m going to drink it.”
“Then send me 3,000 won later.”
“Oh, kinda. They are a married couple.”
“It’s because they are a married couple. “I was taught to be thorough when it comes to money matters, even if it’s just for family.”
I only reached out my hand to ask for it once. Sehee grinned, lifted the cup in her hand to her smiling mouth, and took a sip.
“Hurup, ah. “I think I’ll buy something now.”
“I thought I was going to die from the cold earlier.”
“You’re not going to die because you like me?”
“That’s not really wrong.”
I looked around while having a light conversation with Sehee. As it was close to the main road where cars came and went, the cold winter wind blew, and even though the bright sunlight was shining, I couldn’t feel any particular warmth.
“But when are you coming?”
“I don’t know. Let’s just meet inside. “It’s this cold.”
“Uh, so.”
Of course, we weren’t out on the cold, windy street because we wanted to. Of course, I wanted to wait in a warm café, but that guy wanted to meet me and make a deal right away, so I had to wait outside like this.
“Ah! “It’s nearby now!”
Sehee, who was sipping a warm drink, looked at her phone and let out a small exclamation. I looked around, happy to hear that I was nearby.
“Where? Is it him? “That person?”
“That’s not a person, it’s an inflatable doll. “Oppa.”
“Ah, then, I guess it’s him.”
“That person? Me, huh? I think that person is right? Red scarf with white padding. Right?”
Just as Sehee said, the man approaching was wearing white padding and a red scarf. When he arrived in front of us, he asked a question in a cautious tone.
“Hey, by any chance, blush? Is that correct?”
“Yes. That’s right.”
“Ah, I see. That’s right.”
When I nodded yes to Sehee, the man raised the corners of his mouth as if relieved. Then I glanced at Sehee next to me.
“Oh, but I think you said it was a woman?”
“Oh, yes. I just followed along. “Don’t worry.”
“Ah, really?”
Even though he answered that he understood, his face looked as young as a 20-year-old, and it looked like he was dying of concern. The man looked at Sehee, who was more beautiful than most idols, and asked with a big smile.
“Can I, by any chance, see the item?”
“…”
Seuuk
“Over there?”
Instead of answering, Sehee hid behind me. I was dumbfounded because it seemed like they were asking me to take it for them when a delivery was coming, but I picked up the paper bag on the floor and took out the box.
“Here. Look.”
“Oh, yes.”
“Brother. “Oppa.”
Sehee whispered softly as she received the laptop in its entire box.
“I ask you to open the box and check.”
“Can’t you do it?”
“No, I do not want. My brother does it.”
“Then all I have to do is come out, right? “You’re just at the café.”
“That’s because my brother is such a hot guy. Hurry up and do it. “Before you hit the price.”
“Okay. Open the box and take a look.”
After arguing for a while, I told the man what I heard. Sehee whispered again as she looked over my shoulder and saw him opening the box.
“Brother. They say it was about 80% charged.”
“Can’t you just say it?”
“I don’t like it. And brother, can I talk to the man I went out with?”
“I think it’s okay when trading used goods.”
“I don’t think it’s okay, so hurry up and ask. What if the price goes up like this? Come on.”
“Oh, kinda.”
Even as we were talking like this, the man was looking at his laptop with a picture of an apple he had taken a bite of. He folded it and looked up and down, then showed me the bottom and questioned.
“No, over there. There’s a scratch here.”
“Oh, I heard there’s a scratch?”
“I posted that it included lifestyle changes. I took a picture and uploaded it, so I asked them to look again.”
“They asked me to look at the photo again. “It includes daily life skills.”
“Is it so? Oh, what is this?”
“What is that?”
“It’s the charger insert. “Don’t you know that, brother?”
“I didn’t ask. “Insert the charger.”
When a man asked a question, I listened to the answer from Sehee and answered it. Everyone here was Korean and spoke Korean, but I felt like an interpreter because they kept talking to me.
“Ah, this won’t work?”
The man who examined the state of the apple laptop tilted his head. He pointed out the flaw that was also mentioned in the post and suggested it while frowning as if he was troubled.
“Okay, let’s do this, shall we? “The condition is very different from what I saw on the internet.”
“Tell them not to talk nonsense.”
“Bullshit, no. “You said it would be difficult.”
It sounded so much like my own opinion that I almost passed it on as is. Seeing him keep asking for a discount with meaningless words, anyone would have thought that he was not a normal seller.
“No, the condition is very different from what was written?”
“It’s the same as the text. “Look again.”
“No. There’s nothing to see about this. Please just negotiate. “It’s 100,000 won.”
The laptop that Sehee sold as a used laptop was worth less than 500,000 won because it had scratches and had not been used for a long time. The price of the apple on the back alone would have been 20, but I was astonished when asked for 100,000 won.
“Brother. “If you don’t want to get 100,000 won and have your life ruined, I tell you to get out of there.”
“Are you going to tell me that’s not what you’re saying?”
Cracking
“Quickly. Come on.”
Even so, I couldn’t convey exactly what I just heard. He ignored Sehee, who urged him on by hitting him on the shoulder, and frowned in embarrassment.
“Sorry. They say that’s a bit difficult.”
“Yes? “You’re not saying what you want to say right now, are you?”
“No? Isn’t it?”
“That’s right. Hey. “Tell me about it yourself.”
I said it directly to Sehee, not knowing how pure I was speaking it. I don’t know if it was fortunate or unfortunate, but Sehee hid behind me and didn’t even make eye contact.
“Are you going to make me roll my eyes at you? “I ask, ‘Do you want me to take out both your eyes?'”
“I won’t do it. “A little.”
“Then they say they will only pick one.”
“Is the number a problem now?!”
However, the swearing against the man did not stop.
“No, woman. Are you asking for something strange from me? I’m just asking for a reduction in money. That’s because I’m a student and don’t have any money.”
Despite this, the man did not stop bargaining. He patted his chest as if he was frustrated and revealed that he was a student.
“I’m a student, and you’re saying I’m going to buy a laptop, so I can study. “Then wouldn’t it be polite to give you a little discount?”
All we said was, more accurately, I said no. But it seemed like it had become natural for men to give up.
“Don’t do that. Yes? “Please advise.”
“No. “Please give me something.”
“Ah, don’t do that. “I’m still a student.”
“I’m a student too. Academic. Please hurry.”
I tried to take the box back before Sehee said anything. Of course, the man wouldn’t let go and insisted on cutting it, and I found it difficult to pull hard because I was afraid that if I did something wrong, the item would be damaged, or he would get hurt. This was the problem.
Tak
“Huh?”
My hand slipped, and the man dropped the box as well. The box containing the laptop fell and landed on the floor covered with sidewalk blocks.
Kwasik
To the corner.
“Uh oh! Uh! Ugh! I saw it! I saw it!”
I lifted the fallen laptop box with an excited attitude, as if a crisis was an opportunity. The man showed us the properly dented edge and laughed.
“The seller just dropped this! It’s not me! So, this is for 100,000 won,”
“Ah! Such a bastard!”
I wasn’t the one who got irritated and shouted swear words. Of course, I wanted to shout, but before I could, Sehee passed by me and approached the man.
“It’s so fucking embarrassing to drop it!”
Tak!
“Oh?! Ugh, wow!”
“Sehee?!”
Unlike a little while ago, when we talked about it over the past day, when we met face to face, Sehee kicked me in the shin. The man, who couldn’t see the attack because he was covered by a box, bowed in pain, and Sehee raised his open hand and struck him down.
“I’m not selling it! You bastard! “I’m not selling it!”
Fight! Pop! Pak!
“Ahh! Evil! “Evil!”
“Wait for a sec! “Wait a minute, Sehee!”
Seeing that he was so excited, I hurriedly stopped him. Sehee shouted, hitting the air with her hands even as I tried to stop her.
“Hey. Hey. My brother dropped it? Would you like to go back? You were the one holding it at the end and then dropped it! “You brainless idiot!”
“Sehee. Calm down a little.”
“How can you calm down! There was a defect in the box because of that bastard! “I have to make it for that bastard too!”
“No, really. “It’s too much!”
I saved him from being beaten, and he lost his temper. The man was holding a laptop box and glaring at Sehee with a frown.
“Anyone can tell that it was my boyfriend who dropped it!”
“I’m not a boyfriend, I’m a husband, you bastard!”
“Why do you say that, Sehee? No, over there. He pulled it too hard and dropped it. “You were holding it at the end.”
“Isn’t it? Isn’t it me? Also, are you going to report that I just got hit in the medical certificate? But, if you just give me this, I’ll pretend it never happened.”
“Fuck, then you should get hit more! “What you got hit with wasn’t worth 500,000 won!”
“Sehee, be patient!”
Even as I was trying to stop Sehee, who was about to rush at me, I felt glad that I came with him. It was like this even if I was there, but I couldn’t even imagine what kind of mess would happen if I wasn’t there.
“I’m really calling the police! This is your final warning! “Just give me this!”
Piyong!
The man with the laptop box on his side was lifting his phone. A short siren sound made everyone look there.
“Huh?”
Even though I didn’t report it, a police car was slowing down and approaching. A car painted blue and white and with warning lights on the roof stopped on the shoulder of the road next to us.
“Uh, huh?”
The man was the first to panic when he saw that. Sehee and I were equally embarrassed, but the corners of our mouths raised as soon as the passenger side window rolled down.
Weiying
“Hey. What are you doing here?”
“Taeyeon?”
“Aunt?”
The person in the passenger seat of the police car was none other than Taeyeon. Before we could answer, she turned to the man and asked a question in a polite tone.
“Teacher? What’s going on?”
“Uh, yes, yes? Oh, no. “Nothing, is it?”
“…”
“…”
The man clearly said he would call the police first. However, when he actually appeared, his face turned pale, and he looked suspicious.
“Aunt! I’m currently trading used goods! “This guy is a little weird!”
“Taeyeon. No, sister. Sehee was trying to sell a laptop, but a strange person came.”
We made eye contact for a moment and told Taeyeon what had happened so far. At this time, the man gently placed the box on the floor.
“Ah, that’s enough! I won’t buy it! Goodbye!”
Slap!
“Oh! Hey! Over there!”
“Hey! You didn’t get 500,000 won worth! “Don’t come here!”
And then he hurriedly ran away. Taeyeon looked at us with a frown, as if she was annoyed, then took a deep breath and smiled.
“Hey. Thank you for your performance?”
It turned out that the man was a third-time offender who had been committing second-hand transaction fraud since he was a teenager. However, today it was only an attempt and Taeyeon’s performance was not successful.
