Chapter 139 – Chapter 139. Even Washing the Dishes Makes You a Popular Man
After eating at the soup kitchen for exam students, I greeted the people bringing bread and drinks and chatted with Ko Eun-young in the middle.
I’m used to talking to a girl I’ve never seen before, but it was more comfortable because I’m a girl of the same age.
“I thought my head was cramped because I was studying this week.”
Ko Eun-yeong looked at the crowd of people in the restaurant, heard me and looked in my direction.
“Do you go to school too?”
“Uh, problem-solving class. What about you?”
“Moonpool? Almost finished?”
Ko Eun-yeong looked at me with a slightly surprised look as I was attending an academy class that was a bit more basic than I thought.
I still like books and study in my own way, but because of my handsome appearance, I often get the misunderstanding that I look like I just want to play without studying.
“Why. You don’t even know the alphabet?”
“Ho-ho-ho! Uh, I did get some fun, honestly.”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
I smiled and accepted Ko Eun-young’s words, then continued.
“There are more young people volunteering than I thought. They’re not like Ji-eun, they’re not passers-by, they’re almost students. If you do it occasionally, you might feel a little tired after volunteering every day. Your face looks bright. For some reason, that feeling seems to be passing on to me as well, isn’t it?”
I said, looking from the bread-distributing corner to the washing-up corner.
Then Eunyoung Ko said to me.
“Do I come out sometimes?”
Ko Eun-young said to me.
“Of course, there are people who volunteer almost every day. But that’s how it is. Volunteering is so rewarding, it feels good, but everyone still needs a job. Free volunteering isn’t something that lasts for a long time, most of them.”
As Koh Eun-young said, if you are doing something that gives you a satisfactory salary, it becomes a kind of job, so you will do it with a sense of work. Just because he left didn’t mean he suddenly became a villain.
“There are a lot of volunteer activities these days to build up specs, right?”
At my words, Ko Eun-young brushed her hair once and looked at me and said.
“Oh. That’s right. But this area is full of job seekers. There are many people who are crossing their legs while preparing for civil service, and there are many people who approach volunteer work as a specification. Here, like other places, volunteer time is recognized online. It’s not like that because it’s not the place to do it.”
Was there such a thing in the past?
In my opinion, if it is not a place that does not recognize volunteer work, there is a need to compete for volunteer work, and the competition seems to be getting fiercer day by day.
“Then, isn’t it a joke to acknowledge volunteering around here?”
“It’s amazing. I also sold a lot of my hair in the gosichon to get volunteer work because of my qualifications, but all but one place were filled with volunteers.”
“When everything else is overflowing with volunteers, what’s the only one place that isn’t full?”
When I asked, a person who was leaving after eating just passed by with bread and a drink, so the two women around me greeted them first.
Then Eunyoung Ko answered me.
“Where to spend money. Most of the other places go directly to volunteer work and work with the body, but there are places where volunteer hours are paid if you regularly sponsor them.”
“Isn’t money buying volunteer hours?”
“It’s not just putting money in, it’s okay because when you put money in, you make something like a doll and put it together and send it.”
“When you say that, it makes me feel good again.”
“Right, from the recipient’s point of view, rather than just receiving money, if you receive it with a doll for some reason, I think you’ll feel more affectionate.”
I smiled and said to Ko Eun-young.
“You say you feel affection for a doll? Is our Eun-yeong still a girl?”
Ko Eun-young smiled with me and lightly touched my arm.
“Hohoho! No, hey, that’s right. Wouldn’t it be better if you get the money and the doll together rather than having only the money stamped in numbers in your bankbook?”
“Is it?”
“Right~.”
It seemed the same to me.
When I said that I was in the receiving position, it was from the thought that the important thing was the heart of the giver, and the form came next.
After a few people took the bread, Ko Eun-young spoke to me.
“When I was preparing for a job at a private company before taking the public notice, I did a lot of volunteer work in places other than here.”
I was a little curious about what kind of activities she did.
“Where?”
“It was a facility similar to a daycare center. But I wasn’t looking after the children, I was mainly cleaning and such things. About. After doing that for quite some time, I got to know some of the people I volunteered with.”
Back then, of course, Eunyoung Ko did a good job, but now she seems to be more free, perhaps because she is volunteering regardless of checking her volunteer hours.
“I’m kind of like that. Of course, I’m doing a good job, but I’d like to approach it in the direction of the social responsibility of the government or corporations, rather than forcing kids who have difficulty getting a job to do it.”
“That’s right. Volunteer work is a bit like a spec. It would be nice if it was done voluntarily and with good intentions, but volunteering for specs is a bit much.”
“The result is good, but the process is a bit like that?”
About that, Ko Eun-young and I agreed.
As I was talking about this and that with Ko Eun-young, the time set for breakfast at the free luncheon for exam students was almost over.
As Ko Eun-young said, there are still quite a lot of food in the bread and drink corner.
“There are really a lot of these~.”
“So, what kind of bread do you like?”
“I don’t cover it, but unless it’s a bit chewy, well, well, chewy things are delicious if you eat them with milk.”
I stood in front of Eun-yeong for a while longer, and then went to the dishwashing corner again to help finish the dishes, such as washing the rice cooker.
Listening to Ko Eun-young’s words, she felt a little better knowing that she was doing a volunteer service that didn’t leave a record, not for building specs.
In online media, there are many cases in which well-known companies such as social enterprises volunteer for news articles.
However, if you look into it, it would be better if the chairman came out like this, ‘a few hundred million won in subsidy’, but most of them are not, and there are many things where employees are called out to work, laugh and take pictures.
I wonder if such service is another form of exploitation from employees who wear masks of service.
Several times while I was washing the rice cooker, other women started talking to me again.
When I was a little busy, I helped with the dishes, but I usually stood in front of the bread distribution corner, and when I went back in to do the dishes, everyone went out and I could afford it. Many female volunteers who wanted to talk to me were talking to me in groups. Come.
It took a little while for the first woman to talk to me, but once she did, all the female volunteers around me continued to talk to me.
I had a conversation with them while washing the dishes and cleaning the kitchen.
“I wonder if I should attend the academy that Jinhyeok goes to!”
“Oppa, oppa, why don’t you make a girlfriend?”
“What kind of girl style do you like?”
Even though I was just doing the dishes, I got to talk while being approached by a lot of women.
Naturally, it seemed that the other men had become machines that silently washed the dishes.
Maybe at times like this, I thought that it would be okay for me to hang out with other guys because I was a bit close.
But women don’t just leave me alone as a handsome man.
If other men, like me, want to hang out together, they might have to put their foreign car keys one by one in front of the dishwasher and wash the dishes.
Song Ji-eun and Ko Eun-young also intervened in my conversation with them once in a while, and it didn’t take that long to wash the dishes and clean the kitchen, as there were quite a few people involved.
After completing the volunteer work proposed by Song Ji-eun, I changed my shoes, which I had worn once while handing out bread and once again when I entered the kitchen, to boots, and then changed back to normal, preparing to go back to school.
On my way out of the soup kitchen for exam students, Ko Eun-young started talking to me.
It was a state of comfort because we shared a lot of stories while sharing bread together.
Ko Eun-young was wearing the clothes of a high school student, which is very common.
He was wearing a black tracksuit set, an outer jacket, and sneakers.
However, among the people gathered at this volunteer activity site, Ko Eun-young could be considered the most beautiful woman, except for Song Ji-eun.
“Jinhyuk~, are you going in now?”
Ko Eun-young said, “She didn’t come out to date me, she came out to do volunteer work, so she barely cared about make-up or clothes or anything like that, but this was enough that if she got a makeup buff, everyone passing by would stare at her.” Would be the beauty of
I gave a light answer to Ko Eun-young, who approached me.
“Uh. I’m going to go to the academy’s self-study room and study.”
When I answered, Ko Eun-young said, “Ah~” As if she understood, and she naturally stood next to me as I took steps to leave the soup kitchen and walked together.
As Eun-young and I seemed to walk out together, the women on the other side looked at her with envy at Eun-young Go, or looked at my face from a distance once in a while.
“Can we do it together?”
Ko Eun-young said to me as we walked together toward the doorway in the soup kitchen.
I thought a little about her words.
Studying together is actually something I don’t like that much.
So, she has studied with Yun-gyeong before, but she rarely sits next to her and studies.
Somehow, when Beauty is sitting next to me, I feel attracted to the charm of her presence, which I don’t know what it is, and it hinders me from concentrating on my studies.
Even so, she was on the side of getting along well with Ko Eun-yeong, and she felt friendly and good, and of course, it was not without regret that she had to say goodbye right away.
“I usually do it alone.”
“So? I usually do it alone, but on a weekend like today, why don’t you try it with me in particular?”
Ko Eun-young said, “She secretly slept with me and she seduced me.
There was some truth in what she said.
Theoretically, on weekends, since there are no cram school lectures, it seems that there will be many times more time for self-study, but since it is a human being, it may be difficult to devote the whole day to studying.
I also thought that it might not be bad to study with Ko Eun-young at least once this weekend, not every day.
Ko Eun-young thought for a moment about her words and was walking with her, but a familiar female voice came closer quickly from behind her.
“I’m coming too!”
When I turned around, Song Ji-eun came running toward me and Ko Eun-young.
I smiled and looked at Jieun.
“Ah, Ji-eun.”
Ko Eun-young also stopped with me and then walked along with Ji-eun.
Ko Eun-young and Song Ji-eun knew each other, and seemed to be on the good side.
Somehow, I was walking in the middle of the two beauties, making three shots of what this was.
Should the title be a respectable man between two beauties…
Song Ji-eun said her words to Ko Eun-young as if playing a joke.
“Unni, you were going to go with Jinhyeok oppa, but you weren’t mad because I got involved, right?”
Song Ji-eun’s content itself was to ask if she was angry, but considering the level of closeness she had with Ko Eun-young and her way of speaking, it could be seen that she said that as a passing joke.
As if proving their friendship, Go Eun-young laughed at Song Ji-eun’s words.
“Hohoho! Not at all~ Jieun, you brought Jinhyeok.”
Seeing that those words came right out of Go Eun-young, it seemed that Ko Eun-young was really grateful to Song Ji-eun for letting me know.
“As expected, our pretty Eunyoung unnie, you say she has a pretty heart too~?”
As Ko Eun-young and Song Ji-eun had a conversation with me in between, I felt good that their bodies were touching each other.
Ko Eun-young spoke to Song Ji-eun again.
“Ji-eun, you’re amazing too~. Spending time like this on your days off.”
After walking for a while, waiting for the moment when their story would stop temporarily, I left the soup kitchen for high school students and walked a bit to find my way, so I talked to them.
“What are you all going to do now? I’m going to the academy’s self-study room.”
As soon as I spoke, Song Ji-eun immediately proposed to me and Ko Eun-young.
“Uh, oppa, why don’t the three of us eat at my house?”
