Chapter 59 – Chapter 59 – #Bridge We’re Pretty Close
The curious thing was that Kim Woo-hyun and Woo Da-yeong, who heard it, didn’t care much.
It didn’t seem to have any influence, and it seemed like it was because I usually knew my personality.
“It seems that Siwoo is so friendly that we became close quickly.”
Kim Woo-hyun also took it for granted.
Thanks to that, I too was able to pretend to be close and continue the conversation naturally.
“Nuna, but did you just come to get coffee?”
“Huh~, I came to see Siwoo.”
“Wow.”
Because they knew Dahee Woo’s personality, they just smiled.
“Then, break time is over~. Let’s work.”
I drank coffee and went straight to the rest of the work.
Because I had to hold on to it all day to finish it today.
“I’m here to help my sister too.”
“How can I do it?”
It was Dahee Woo who came in clean clothes, so I couldn’t ask her to do anything dusty.
Tick tick
I didn’t usually know it, but I felt like I knew why the sound of hammering was described as snapping.
Wei Ying.
Then the sound of an electric drill rang loudly.
“Where’s the excitement? Should I mix it with paint?”
“I haven’t opened it yet.”
It’s been a long time since I remembered the painting I did when I went to volunteer work with my friends in college.
“Doing this really reminds me of college.”
“Ah, volunteering at an orphanage?”
“Ok.”
Maybe it’s because we’re doing it one by one as a group of friends, so even if we make a mistake, everyone laughs and passes it over.
Swoop.
Then, after applying the paint, a space that was quite plausible was created.
I even ordered jajangmyeon for lunch in the middle, and after eating it, I felt a little better about moving.
“I’ll have to leave the window open in this. It smells bad.”
“Yeah, I’m going to open it over the weekend. It won’t rain, right?”
I remembered seeing the forecast of sunny skies for a few days after the rainy season.
“It’ll be fine. If it rains, I’ll come and close it.”
“Then it’s hard.”
“…But I can’t even close the door.”
By the time the work was finished, the sun was setting.
As the sunset disappeared and the purple sky covered the spot, I sat down on a chair with my exhausted body.
“Ugh, it’s hard.”
Sweat is also sweat, but as she continued to move, her body became irritable.
“At times like this, you have to heat up the sauna.”
When I said it with a tired face, Kim Woo-hyun smiled and handed me the ice cream he bought from outside.
“Eat one.”
“Ehh, thank you.”
The two of them ate ice cream and looked at the studio they created and smiled heartily.
“It does happen one at a time.”
“So.”
He put his work gloves on his lap and said with a bite of ice cream.
“What about cleaning this?”
There were quite a lot of scattered materials and trash, so I scratched my cheeks.
Kim Woo-hyun put his hand on my shoulder.
“Siwoo.”
“Yes?”
I looked up at him as he was contemplating how to get rid of the trash, but he called my name in a serious voice.
“Thanks.”
“…You say thank you so much these days? What is it? Do you need a guarantee?”
“Ahaha! It’s not like that. It’s just. You just listened to me and came out of a company you used to work with and started a business together.”
“…What about starting a business together? Then make me co-president.”
A playful tone came out, perhaps because the cheesy serious praise was still awkward.
He knew me well, so he just smiled.
“What is that smile. It’s uncomfortable~. Please explain.”
“No, it’s just because you followed me without worrying about anything.”
“I came out because I just didn’t like the company I was at before. Don’t worry about it.”
He didn’t even speak anymore.
I got up waking up with the ice cream bar I had eaten.
“If you’re so grateful, buy some food for dinner. You drank a lot of dust, so you need to grease your neck.”
“Puha, yes. Okay. I was going to have a dinner anyway.”
I started tidying up after I brushed off the dust on my body.
With six people, we were able to finish it quickly.
“Materials have to be called and thrown away on Monday, so collect them in the corner.”
Following Kim Woo-hyun’s words, the garbage was separated, and water was poured on the floor and pushed away with a rolling pin.
“Let’s go eat, guys.”
Watching Kim Woo-hyun say thank you to the kids one by one, he thought that although he was the same age, he was mature.
Of course, I also thought that it was cheesy.
Chi profit.
Hearing the sound of meat being cooked on the grill always made it sticky.
“Everyone worked hard today, thank you for helping me~. Jihwan too.”
I found out that the expert’s friend’s name was Jihwan.
“Come on, cheers!”
As the alcohol continued to pile up, Dahee Woo, who was sitting next to her, said quietly.
“My husband went on a business trip today. Shall we sleep at your house?”
“…That’s adultery, sister.”
Woo Da-young pushed Da-hee, who was drunk on her face, to the side and took her place.
“It looks like your sister drank a lot. You should burn it well and send it off.”
“I’m going to take you home today.”
If there were no people, I would have taken him, but unfortunately, I didn’t think I could because I had eyes to see.
If it was hunting at a bar, it wouldn’t matter anyway, but once I had a family, I was aware that I would instinctively get screwed if I took him.
Once again, I felt that the ability of the scenario book was amazing.
“Huh~, that’s a pity.”
Woo Da-hee was not completely drunk, so I knew how to discern.
I smiled and talked to Won Yoo-chan, who was sitting across from me.
“Yoochan, play with your sister instead.”
“Oh, yes.”
“Ji-hwan-sshi also drinks.”
Before I knew it, I was divided into 3:3 and sat down.
Across from me, Woohyun Kim was pouring a glass with a reddened face.
“You’re a guy who can’t even drink, so why are you pouring alcohol into a glass?”
“They say I’m in a good mood today.”
I shrugged my shoulders at Woo Da-young’s words. Somehow, I was emotional from before.
“Draw, ah~. I’m full. I ate it all.”
“Huh? Eat more. You can order more.”
“No, if I eat more, my stomach will really explode. I’ll smoke a cigarette.”
“Ugh, the smell of cigarettes.”
After teasing Woo Da-yeong, he patted her on the head and went outside to light her cigarette.
After feeling the burning cigarette and the taste of the old cigarette that went deep into my lungs, I spat out again.
“Whoa.”
The sky was the color of a clear, cloudless night, dotted with stars.
Took.
After throwing away the butt and rubbing it with his feet, he went back inside and found Kim Woo-hyun sleeping soundly on his stomach.
He asked, taking off his shoes and going upstairs.
“What if he stretches out saying he’s calculating?”
“Don’t worry, I won’t take it off. I’ll pay.”
“Aw~, you’re a very wife.”
When I teased her, Dayoung pouted at her.
“Because I also have a stake in this company anyway.”
“Ego, draw it. But aren’t you guys getting married?”
As she sat down in her seat and drank her water, Da-Young Woo rested her chin on her chin and looked at Woo-Hyun Kim, who was lying face down.
“I will.”
“Huh? When?”
“If all of these companies are established. If you have some spare time.”
“…Sueup, you mean in the next life?”
“Do you want to go back?”
U Da Young slapped her on my thigh under her table.
Still, seeing that she was convinced that they were getting married, it seemed that the two of them were talking separately.
I nodded and said congratulations on the wedding in advance.
“Congratulations on your marriage in advance.”
“Heh.”
“What is that laugh? It’s a little different.”
“What are you saying?”
I felt that if the two of us got married, I would be able to lessen my guilt, which is as big as an ant’s toe.
“…Hmm.”
He looked at Kim Woo-hyun and Woo Da-young alternately, then nodded.
“Then I’ll just borrow it for a while.”
“…?”
Woo Da-young doesn’t understand. I didn’t even bother to explain.
“I think I ate all of them. Let’s get up now.”
“Ah, yes.”
I quit her drinking party and everyone took a taxi.
“Dayeong-ah, take it with you. Take care of your sister too.”
Her sister and Kim Woo-hyun were sent in a taxi.
A man named Ji-hwan, whom he knew only by his first name and did not know his last name, also bowed and got into the taxi.
When only Won Yoo-chan and I were left, he asked for a cigarette.
“Brother, but don’t the seniors live separately?”
“Ah~, let’s have a good deal together at their house today.”
“Eh, uh, can I do that? Your parents are there too?”
“I’ve already promised to get married and I’ve seen a lot of family members.”
They met for 7 years, and it seemed that their parents had a good view of Kim Woo-hyun, so they often went on trips together.
It wasn’t my concern anyway, so I pushed the back of Won Yoo-chan, who had finished smoking.
“Don’t get on board soon either. I’ll see you all go and go in.”
“Oh, brother, you worked hard. Let’s go in first.”
“Yeah~.”
Lastly, after sending Won Yoo-chan, I also caught a passing taxi and climbed up.
When I sat in the back seat, I felt like I was getting drunk.
“Keep, no, hiccups. Fuck. Kuck.”
§
Mid-August.
Monday.
Publicity editing was going smoothly.
I was able to proceed as it was because I was satisfied with the mid-term inspection conducted by video conference in the middle.
“Huh.”
As I yawned, Won Yoo-chan, who was next to me, also yawned.
“Ha-am… Brother. Aren’t you sleepy?”
“I’m sleepy. I’m sleepy, but it’s Real Luda.”
“Isn’t it? Aww… The weather is nice.”
Looking outside, I could see what a really deep blue sky was.
“These days, jjanggae don’t send fine dust.”
“Hmm… I can send it again like this.”
“Why don’t you curse me to send it away?”
I woke up with a cigarette to chase after sleep.
“Do you write too?”
“No, I have a lot to do.”
Leaving Won Yoo-chan behind, he came downstairs and asked for a cigarette.
Profit.
When I looked up at the sky from that narrow alleyway, I saw only the narrow sky, like a frog’s field of vision in a well.
“Excuse me.”
“…?”
I was looking up at the sky and exhaling cigarette smoke, but when I heard a voice calling me, I lowered my head and looked up, and there was a woman standing there.
Black bobbed hair subdued calmly, and a face as white as flour in contrast.
Its face was small enough to be the size of a fist, but it was staring at me with large cat-like eyes, a sharp nose in the middle, and deep red lips.
Her expression, as calm as her bobbed hair, seemed calm yet cold, so I thought she was fighting with me because she didn’t like smoking.
“Lend me a light.”
“…”
Her face is also small and graceful, so she looks like her student, but she is wearing a suit.
She wondered if there was a company nearby, so she looked around, but of course she didn’t.
Swoop.
Without saying a word, she held out her lighter and she accepted it, biting into her cigarette with her little lips.
“W it’s fish.”
“…”
She tried to talk to me, but she gave me a cold glance.
“Whoa.”
After handing over her lighter, she remained silent with her back to me.
Just a fucking bitch. After cleaning up, I smoked a cigarette and threw the butts in the paint can.
Bubbly.
She went back to the office and headed for the water purifier.
“Huh? Can I eat this on a canoe? Can I eat it?”
“Oh, yes, you can eat it. Oh, Siwoo, help me prepare for the interview.”
“…?”
I made coffee and set up chairs and refreshments in the studio I made myself.
“What is that? What time is the interview?”
“One hour left, that’s it.”
“Where is it?”
The interviewers were Kim Woo-hyun and Yoo Da-young.
She made an offer to me too, but she deliberately declined.
First of all, I hated being bothered by it, and I thought Woo Da-yeong was much better at caring for people than I was.
“I can’t be a high school girl with a military scribe. I’m a military scribe, so choose someone with experience.”
“…It’s a new intern, does that make sense?”
Woo Da-yeong was looking at it dumbfounded.
“It’s good if you have a major, and at least three licenses.”
“Will someone like that come with an annual salary of 1800?”
“What? One thousand eight hundred?”
She nods her head.
“I’m a rookie, an intern, and I’m going to hire someone with no experience.”
“…Why?”
“Until there is no money.”
“Right.”
She knew why, but when she heard it, it made her scratch her cheeks.
All she had to do was remember that she was fucked no matter what.
“If it’s 1,800, get off everything, even if it’s just a military pencil…”
Whatever it was, I had a wish that a man would come. It seemed like it could be done by just rolling it.
I went back to my seat and started working, but several interviewers came inside to see if it was time for the interview.
I flinched at the large office space and at the same time flinched again at the few seats.
“… Really, when you first come here, it will look like a ghost company, right?”
“I guess so…”
Won Yoo-chan also seemed to agree.
She had few seats in the wide gray space, so she had to.
“…But brother.”
“Yes?”
“…Can I expect a high school girl with a military pen?”
“Why.”
I spoke and looked at the people waiting for interviews, but they were all women.
“…Let’s think of them as majors.”
“…That…They are too green to be called majors…?”
Upon hearing that, I looked at their faces again, and they were young enough to be described as real babies.
There were only three of them, but one of them had a familiar face.
She was the woman borrowing the cigarettes she had seen an hour ago.
“…I thought it was a nearby company, but wasn’t it?”
“What?”
“No, you told me to build a cigarette earlier. At the end there.”
“Ah…It looks a bit scary, but please don’t get picked…”
Won Yu-chan, a strong woman with dyslexia, eagerly put her hands together and entered her prayers.
I put my arm around his shoulder and said.
“If you pray like that normally, become that person.”
“…Please…”
“They say the annual salary is 1,800. That’s enough for 130, right?”
“…Then please… If the salary is low and there is a lot of work, I will get it right away…”
If the salary was low and the work was hard, he could be chased. I didn’t mean to say anything about it, but it was clear from the practitioner’s point of view that it was hard work.
“…Your brother should educate you.”
“…Fuck.”
