Chapter 263 – Chapter 263. Coronavirus – 2
As soon as Ji-eun entered the house, she took off all her clothes.
While washing her face and hands and feet, I decided to take a shower.
For the things I’ve been shopping for, I put the things I’d like to put in the refrigerator, and after a while, I decided to clean up the refrigerator, wash it, and come out to see it properly.
I went into the bathroom and shut the door.
The bathroom on the rooftop was a bit cold, but much better than the days around early and mid-January.
Jieun turned on her shower and measured the temperature of the water with her hand.
“Shoot aaaaa…”
As soon as the temperature of the water warmed up, Ji-eun started to wash herself.
She lifted her head and let the shower run down her head, washing the air she received from outside.
Ji-eun, who is on the tall side of her, is immaculately naked, and transparent water runs down her body.
Water flowed from Ji-eun’s head, through her face, through her neck, breasts, and back, down to her hips and chest, and down her feet and onto the bathroom floor.
As the warm water flowed through her body, Ji-eun made her feel better.
She felt better, but soon a thought came into her head.
‘Ah~, Wuhan Pneumonia… It’s annoying.’
The number of confirmed cases was increasing day by day.
It seemed that it was not long before 1,000 confirmed cases occurred.
The problem was that this caused her anxiety even in going about her daily life.
It didn’t seem like this.
Watching TV, they were busy fighting each other.
Whether it be religion, the ruling party, the opposition party, the government, or individuals, there is absolutely no fault of their own, and they were busy trying to blame it on other subjects.
Jieun thought.
Why does she blame no one on her own and she blames the other?
Can she claim that she is not responsible?
Does she think that if the other group is to blame, she will be exonerated if her own blame is completely wiped out?
Looking at that, it was really annoying to see the various actors doing politics in their respective relationships.
Everything was going against Ji-eun’s common sense.
All forces passed on their responsibilities and only showed themselves trying to evade responsibility.
Seeing that, Ji-eun let out her bitter smile as she took her shower.
-Shoot it…
It was because she thought that the big world was similar to the small world she lived in.
Jee-eun, who works at a community center, was asked about something by a citizen not long ago.
However, when the author saw it, it was something he did not know.
So he passed the blame on.
Jieun told him.
“You said you saw it on the Internet, but is it correct to do that at the community center?”
“No announcement has been made yet.”
“We also need guidance.”
“Can’t you just ask the ward office instead of here?”
The easiest thing to do was to tease the citizen a little and send him back.
Actually, that’s not the case.
When he came to the community center and asked us to take care of something on our side…
Instead of looking for it only then, Jee-eun thought that it would be desirable to provide a service that satisfies him by sufficiently explaining it to him since he was already interested in the job in advance and knew it closely about the job.
But it wasn’t easy.
The reason Ji-eun was trying to do that was because, in the end, it was to create work.
Trying to solve a problem by finding out, explaining, things like that takes time.
Then the superiors found such things very disapproving.
Once, Ji-eun, who was trying hard to solve a problem at the beginning, heard such a story from her superiors.
“Mr. Jieun, why don’t you try moving to a private company’s civil affairs office or call center rather than a civil servant? That seems to fit your aptitude better.” It was said.
Jieun was not alone in experiencing that.
In fact, Ji-Eun Ji-Eun was also in a private company.
Jieun’s job at a private company was not that great.
It was just a matter of organizing transaction statements, writing simple drafts, or assisting with paperwork for full-time employees.
Before preparing for the civil service exam, while I was in college, a female employee on vacation said she would write me a short contract job, so I went in for a while.
But it was the same there.
Employees who are frequently out of the office were busy asking Ji-eun what they were doing while in the office, and employees who were in-office were busy pretending to be busy and putting their work into Ji-eun.
So work, work, work…
If you solve the piled up things, their gratitude won’t be left.
All that remained was the transfer of responsibility.
Instead of saying thank you, they were busy asking Ji-eun why she did such a thing if there was even a small flaw in the things they had been responsible for.
Maybe it was because of that background that Ji-eun was able to pass the civil service exam quickly.
Ji-eun believed that if she worked in a public institution instead of a private company, which seemed to be relatively stressed by her boss’s pressure to generate profits, it would be better than the place where Ji-eun worked for a while.
However, it was different from Jieun’s idea.
Fraudulent enterprise.
Public official.
Well, maybe, whether it’s a public company, a farming or fishing village, a welfare company, or a religious organization, it seemed to be all the same.
Where people live is all the same.
Even now, I haven’t worked for a long time, but after becoming a public servant, when a citizen like that came to me when I was a freshman, if I diligently looked for it and told it to me, Ji-eun would get scolded by someone with a higher rank.
I heard people say, “Why does Jieun make things?”
And in reality, as Ji-eun was working, at some point, it felt like what the senior said was right.
The harder you worked, the worse it was.
If you work hard, you will be scolded by your boss first.
Of course, the worse the relationship with the person you will be with for a very long time without commitment all day, the more difficult life will be.
In that case, it was more advantageous to minimize the amount of work and responsibility as much as possible as he wanted.
And the harder they worked, the more dissatisfied they became in many cases.
If you pay attention and find out, the citizens have been biting tail after tail in the work and have been called more and more.
There is more work, and if something goes wrong in it, you only take responsibility.
What was characteristic about it was that there was a difference between private companies and public officials.
Private companies are very kind and detailed to customers who make money.
This is because the salary can go up more by the performance accumulated from them.
However, I do not like to receive even a single phone call from a customer who does not pay.
Civil servants are a little different.
It is not a system that raises salaries by raising performance like crazy.
It’s not that the salary rises sharply, but the salary rises stably and usually on its own.
It just seems like everything is the same.
What is the world where people live?
Whether it’s a private company, a public official, religion, politics, economy, or whatever, it’s common to shift responsibility to the other side all the time.
So, looking at the current Wuhan pneumonia outbreak, it seemed a bit in that context.
Everyone has their own camp.
And people say that only their own camp is justice, and the other camp is unconditionally wrong, and the other camp is doing wrong in this matter and should take responsibility.
What is this?
Jieun thought that those things should be harmonized.
It’s too exhausting to argue over someone’s fault and say that you’re the bad guy because you’ve done something wrong, and you’re busy politicizing and rolling your head all day, fighting over sides.
It doesn’t make any sense.
Instead of thinking about how to defeat the opposing faction, I wondered if I should think about how to help people who are struggling.
I wondered when we would be able to see them joining forces together instead of passing the blame on each other and fighting.
Jieun finished her shower while thinking about those things.
“Whoa~. It’s cool.”
– Tak, Tak
Jieun came out of her bathroom wearing slippers.
It took three towels to wipe the body, wipe the hair, and brush the brushed hair.
Ji-eun kept her body naked as she wiped her, sat naked on the bed and dried her hair by blowing hot air with her hair dryer.
-Huh uh uh uhh-.
It took quite a while to dry my hair.
Ji-Eun was envious of hearing that men often do not dry their hair well, and that they often just brush their hair and finish it.
Jieun tended to dry her hair pretty meticulously, so that was also the case.
While she was drying her hair, Ji-eun turned on her cell phone and went to the Internet while she was naked.
As soon as the Internet entered, the news of the corona virus was floating in the main.
And without a doubt, it was full of people fighting on both sides.
“Ahh~.”
Jieun looked at the internet and then turned it off.
It was because she did not think that the solution was to separate camps and curse each other in the comments, saying who was at fault and who was at fault.
Ji-Eun: After that, she wanted to watch an internet broadcast for a while.
Last time, I installed an internet broadcasting application called Cheonri Wall TV, and I installed it out of curiosity, but these days, creators and BJs of live broadcasting or editing broadcasting were popular among similar age groups.
Jieun dried her hair and opened her app.
-Huh uh uh uhh-.
When I went to the broadcast list, numerous broadcasts popped up.
Among them, Jieun caught her eye on one of the broadcasts.
‘Let’s take a look at this.’
Broadcasting has put the number of real-time expansion of corona virus as a control.
In addition, he was actually running and broadcasting directly from the origin of the corona virus.
Jieun was able to see their lives indirectly while watching the broadcast.
BJ was a rather large man wearing a powerful-looking mask.
Ji-eun is picky about her mask and wears goggles, but the man in the show was also wearing a mask that was pretty good even by Ji-eun’s standards.
He occasionally showed himself in selfie mode.
And mainly, while filming the front, I broadcast around the quiet market with almost no people on my mobile.
Like a BJ, Jieun thought that she was pretty good at talking.
He continued the broadcast while talking nonstop.
-Seomun Market is closed for 6 days, and I heard that this is the first time since the opening of the Joseon Dynasty. You can see it too. There are few people. Originally, it wasn’t like going around sparsely like this. Brothers, right now I am risking my life on air. If you have spare time, please donate pickled radish.
As he said, people occasionally passed by in the market seen on the screen, but everyone wore masks and walked past them at a fairly fast pace.
-Your business is getting bigger than anything else right now, right? It is said that store sales decreased by 90% and stalls by 60%. It’s not easy to get a mask. On the way, I’ll buy a mask.
He stopped at a convenience store on his way to buy a mask.
However, the mask was already out of stock at the convenience store.
Coming straight from the convenience store, he visited other places as well.
He didn’t even seem to find it easy to buy a mask.
In the end, I bought a scam, but I had to sell my feet.
Jee-eun feels a sense of crisis because the goshichon where she is now is also a place with a large floating population, but she thought that her place was incomparably better.
Seeing his broadcast like a field reporter in person like this, the danger caused by the corona virus seemed to be felt even better.
Ji-eun watched his broadcast a little more.
The streets, as well as the shops you see while passing by, were also closed.
It was a sad appearance that seemed to have an impact enough on the immediate livelihood.
Also, there are some things that do not earn income through the store, but if you open the door and get infected yourself, that can also be seen as a big deal.
“I should be more careful.”
As time passed, it was impossible to know what would happen again.
Ji-eun decided not to be vigilant and to be careful all the time.
