Chapter 71 – Episode 71
After that, another hectic day passed.
How do I become friends with new employees, how do I get used to being around people, and how do I deal with various issues that arise?
Those were hectic and busy days.
There were times when I wondered why I had to do this, but those thoughts soon disappeared.
On my first payday after hiring a bunch of employees, the amount in my bank account was beyond my imagination.
‘Boss, I will be loyal.’
An amount that instantly creates loyalty and loyalty.
After all, an office worker lives with money.
And the boss knew that very well.
For me, who now wants to become a ‘capable man even in the eyes of others,’ it was a very grateful salary.
A short but long month or two had passed.
***
It’s been a really long time since I had a leisurely Saturday afternoon.
Gahye and Nayu also had their own work to do, so they got to enjoy their alone time.
“How much happiness has it been since… “
I was at the café in front of my house, enjoying the luxury of not using my phone or working, but just drinking coffee.
Of course, Gahye and Nayu love each other.
The time we spend together is so precious that it cannot be compared to any other moment.
But, there is something like that.
Sometimes I should say I want to be alone, but there are times when I want to have some alone time without anyone.
I haven’t had much time like that lately, so this moment was so delicious.
… Well, my dick also needed some time to rest.
〈It’s okay~ As far as you can~〉
While I was enjoying my break, my cell phone rang.
It was my uncle.
“Hello?”
〈Junseok? 〉
“Uh, uncle. It’s been a while!”
Now that I think about it, it’s been a long time since I’ve been able to visit my uncle.
“How have you been?”
〈 I’m doing pretty well. Who are you?〉
“Ahaha, I’m really busy these days… “
So I told my uncle about my current situation.
A new job, a position as a team leader, a busy but well-paid job, and the fact that I am dating Nayu…
I said everything except about Gahye.
〈 Hi, have you been faithful to your voice? It must be difficult? 〉
“I feel happy rather than tired because things are going well.”
It really was like that.
I thought working a lot would tire people out, but not getting things done made people more tired.
Doing a few things that don’t work out is more tiring than doing dozens of times the things that work out well.
〈Then what happened to Gya?〉
“Him? Who are you talking about? “
〈 You know. A long time ago, when I saw you and Nayu at school, the kid who hugged you. 〉
Oh my.
My uncle had already seen Gahye.
At that time, I just passed by without saying anything, but I was screwed.
If she had known this would happen, she would have told me later that she was dating me.
“Uh, that’s… “
〈 Don’t worry, you probably organized it yourself. Sorry for bringing up old times. 〉
It seems like he understood that at the point of dating Nayu, he had already sorted things out with Gahye.
Fortunately, my uncle just misunderstood and let it go.
“What… “
I just laugh a little at myself for not being able to deny or affirm that.
〈Anyway, if you’re that busy… 〉
“No, I’m fine now. “I was a bit distracted because I was in a new position at a new job, but I’m used to it now.”
〈 Really? 〉
The uncle becomes silent for a moment after saying those last words.
It looks like you have something to ask.
So, when he saw that I was busy, he tried to give up the request, and that’s why I deliberately appealed that I wasn’t busy.
〈 Well… Do you have any time today?〉
“Yes. When is it convenient?”
〈Now… No, no, dinner would be better.〉
“I’m fine now, and dinner later is fine too. “I don’t have anything planned today.”
〈Yeah, really? Well… 〉
“Would you like to see it now? Shall I go near my uncle’s house? “You haven’t moved anywhere, right?”
〈Aida, moving is useless. Still, it’s close to home, let’s see… Yes, Nakseongdae! Let’s meet at Nakseongdae Station. Isn’t it a rule? 〉
“How long will this last?”
〈 Look how crazy I am, I didn’t tell you the time. Just now, no, I mean… 〉
“If we leave now, I think it will probably take about 30 minutes. “I’ll be there right away.”
〈Oh, really? Draw it, you get it. Okay. 30 minutes later.〉
My uncle is very stuttering today.
Has something big happened?
I’m really worried.
“Junseok, what are you doing?”
When I suddenly heard a familiar voice, I turned around and saw Nayu standing behind me.
“Have you seen everything?”
“Uh. There was nothing special.”
“How did you know I was here?”
“That’s obvious.”
Nayu said that and naturally sat in front.
“Why? You don’t look very good? “You don’t like me coming?”
“Oh no, that can’t be possible!”
To be honest, I was a little disappointed that my little break time was gone, but I can’t say that.
Instead, I talked about my uncle.
“My uncle just contacted me, and there was something unusual about the atmosphere.”
“Mister? Why, what happened?”
“I don’t know yet. “I asked if I could see him for a moment, so I’m going to go see him now.”
“Can I go too?”
“Uh… “I’ll ask.”
I immediately sent a message to my uncle.
〈Can I go with Nayu? 〉
Then the reply came right away.
〈Yes〉
It was an immediate answer with no time for hesitation.
“Come with me. Okay then, let’s go.”
I left the café with Nayu.
***
“Uncle, I’m here.”
“Man, it’s been a while.”
“Well, it’s nice to see you both after a long time!”
A hamburger restaurant near Nakseongdae Station.
When Nayu and I arrived, my uncle had already arrived.
“How have you been?”
“Okay, nothing’s wrong with me.”
That can’t be possible.
“Isn’t Junseok calling you because you’re worried about something?”
“What about that… “More than that, did you guys eat old food?”
If you look at the time, it’s 4 PM.
It’s been a while since I had lunch, and it’s an odd time to have dinner.
“No.”
“Well then, let’s stay somewhere. I live.”
“No, uncle, I will live.”
“What are you talking about? Are you going back to work now? “How can I afford it?”
“Man, he has a lot of free time. “I make a lot of money.”
“What?”
Her uncle’s eyes widened a little at Nayu’s words.
“It should be more than twice the salary of a police officer like you.”
“Hi, Jun-seok has succeeded.”
“Besides, we live in a very nice place.”
“Us?”
“Ah, ahaha, uncle! Well, what would you like to eat? Double patty? Chicken shrimp?”
“Uh, you can just eat whatever you want for dinner… “
“I’ll get it, just wait a minute! Nayu, you come to work too!”
I hurriedly took Nayu and moved to the front of the kiosk.
And then he whispered fiercely.
“Hey, what should I do if he suddenly says that?”
“What?”
“It means ‘we’ live together.”
“Oh, that. Is there any problem?”
“They haven’t told us they’re living together yet. Dating Gahye together!”
“Have you told me that yet?”
“I’m looking at the timing, the timing. “It’s not clear yet.”
“Hmm… “
Nayu tilts her head as if she doesn’t understand what I’m saying.
But she soon nodded and muttered a word.
“Well, since he’s a police officer, he probably cares a lot about strange things.”
Even if you’re not a police officer, it seems strange for three people to date together.
I felt my bones hurt, so I started ordering burgers.
***
While eating hamburgers, Nayu and I talked about various things with my uncle.
Starting with the current situation, how Nayu and her uncle met, and how Nayu and I ended up dating…
I told him everything, covering only the facts that could not yet be revealed, and my uncle was happy that Nayu and I were dating as if it were his own business.
Around the time I finished eating the hamburger, I asked my uncle a question.
“Anyway, uncle, what’s the matter that brought you here?”
If things continue like this, my uncle won’t get to the point until the end.
He’s a strangely timid person, so he’s not good at saying important things.
“Uh, that’s… “
“Tell me, uncle. “Don’t be timid because the size is distracting.”
“This Gasinaga, isn’t there anything he can’t say to an adult?”
“He’s an adult, but the reason he’s fidgeting right now is that he’s a child.”
Uncle and Nayu bickering.
“This thorn is still cheesy, cheesy. Even if I get married, I will become a bit of a cheapskate… “
“If you say something like that these days, you’ll be treated like a complete bad guy, man.”
“Don’t make fun of me.”
After saying that, my uncle became quiet for a moment, looked at me and Nayu in turn, and finally opened his mouth.
“Actually… “I would like to have some consultation.”
“Consulting? Which one?”
“That’s… So… Dick… “
An uncle who keeps hesitating and unable to speak.
It almost looks like a middle school boy who fell in love for the first time.
Uh, no.
No way.
“Dating advice… It is.”
“Whoa~”
Nayu whistles right away at what her uncle says.
“Hey Gasina, don’t make a fuss.”
“Wow!”
He immediately calls Nayu out because he is embarrassed, but Nayu continues to make fun of her uncle.
I don’t think he has this kind of personality, but he’s perfect at playing pranks on his uncle.
“My uncle gave me dating advice…” What’s going on?”
“That’s… In fact.”
“Woohyo clothes~”
“Stop being noisy!”
After yelling at Nayu one more time, the uncle slowly began to tell her story.
“Recently, he happened to save a woman.”
“Uh… What happened?”
“Well, if you work in the homicide squad for a while, you see all sorts of things. Are there one or two bastards doing shit in the alley at night?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Nayu nods in the affirmative.
“As I was passing through an alley, I grabbed a woman and saw some bastards talking to her, so I beat her up.”
I wondered if something like that still happened in this day and age, but hadn’t she almost been treated strangely by a senior at school?
There will always be people like that.
“The woman who saved me… “She fell for me.”
“Cool~”
“Don’t be angry.”
“So?”
“That’s the problem. “A child who saves you, asks for your number, comes to you when he’s bored, and doesn’t give up even when you chase him away and refuse?”
“Hmm… “
Something is strange.
“Would it be nice if this was rain?”
“Why are you kicking me out?”
“What?”
“Yes, something is strange. Uncle, why are you kicking me out and rejecting me? She says she likes that girl. “Aren’t women your taste?”
“My tastes are shit! She’s pretty and true, but she’s a waste to me!”
“But why is that?”
“That is… “
After hesitating for a moment, her uncle immediately spoke in a voice that was uncharacteristic of her uncle.
“The woman… She is 21 years old.”
At those words, Nayu and I stopped listening to her for a moment.
