Returned to Being Handsome 277

Chapter 277 – Chapter 277. While the Exam Was Postponed, I Went Home for a While to See My Parents.

* * *

It was raining weather.
When I got out of the taxi and looked up at the sky, it looked quite cloudy.

The exact reason was not known whether the cloudiness in the sky was due to fine dust or rain clouds as predicted that it would rain soon.

After getting off at the front door of the apartment, I walked home.

– Jeobeok, Jeobuck…

Now that I am more familiar with the goshichon, it was a very familiar place to me, even though it was a house I came to after a long time.

This apartment complex has been around for quite some time, but somehow it doesn’t seem to have changed that much.
There were a few places where the shopping mall around the apartment changed.

When I got home and rang the bell, my mother opened the door.

“Son, are you here? What did you bring? Hey, you look better than last time? Are you eating well?”
“Yes, Mom. I’m back.”

What my mother said I brought was none other than a mask.
Of the box the author gave me, I took most of them home, except for a few that I would use right away.
It was because my parents, who were older than me, were more concerned about the Wuhan pneumonia.

In addition to the top-notch KF94 mask he brought to me, Jieun tried to give me another box of a first-class dust mask with a valve or something, but I politely declined as it was a bit excessive.
The existing one box was of good quality and sufficient in quantity, so I brought it.
I almost decided to give this to my parents, and I originally bought more masks every time I went outside, and it wasn’t particularly lacking.

Mom opened the door and walked towards the kitchen.

“Son~, I made crab soup, so hurry up and eat it.”
“Yes.”

After taking off my shoes at the entrance, I entered the house and put the mask box on the right side of the sofa.
Then, after hearing her mother tell her to eat crab soup, she walked over to her table.

‘Hmm… I’m sure I came here to eat, but there’s nothing on the table.’

Again there was nothing.
My mom said that the crab soup was cooked, but when I saw it, I could see that it was still being cooked.
Originally, all mothers may be like that. Even her friends say that their mother told them to eat, so when they come out, there is nothing, she says.
Looking to the left, the rice wasn’t even done yet. Judging by the time left in the pressure cooker, it was almost done, though.

‘Let’s wash her hands first.’

As soon as I thought about it, my mother said.

“Son~, wash your hands clean~”
“Yes.”

This is usually like this.
I was just about to study and I was told to study, and I was just about to eat a vegetable side dish and I was told to eat it.
I laughed thinking about that and went to the bathroom.

I went to the bathroom to wash my hands before the food was ready.
Then I came back to the table and sat down to talk to my mother, who was preparing the dish on the stove side.

“What about Dad? When I called before you came, you said you were closed today?”
“Your dad went to buy a mask. Hey, it’s crazy these days.”
“Uh, is that so? I brought a box earlier, a mask. I should have told you in advance.”
“It’s okay, well, you can just leave it there and use it. What about yours?”
“Enough.”
“Still, I’ll leave you alone, what else do you bring?”

Mom is always like that.
Always put my worries first.
I’m a little curious if I’ll be like that when I get married and have children later.

Anyway, my parents’ situation must have been a bit difficult now.
My father’s fried chicken restaurant didn’t go so well before, it was just enough to make a living, and there was nothing to say now.
Even if it was raining, customers would be cut in half, but it wouldn’t have been easier since the corona was rampant.

When I called, my father said, “If you fail the test again, come home and fry the chicken.”
Even with the labor cost alone, 200 was solid, so it would have been much better for me to stay.
Moreover, since I am a family business, I would work with an excessive sense of ownership without receiving money.

The crab soup my mom made was delicious.
It’s hard to say that her mother is good at cooking in general, but some of her specialties are pretty good.
While eating the soup unique to hot crab soup with a savory taste, eating the crab meat with zucchini or onions in it, it seemed that even if you were just eating, your stamina would increase.

After she ate, her mother cut the fruit for her.
It was an apple.

As she was eating an apple, her dad came.

The front door opened and Dad came in, and I got up to say hello.

“Dad, are you home? What about dinner?”
“Uh, I went out after eating. To get some fresh air.”
“My mom cut an apple. Do you want to eat it together?”
“Uh, sure. Let’s have a glass of water first.”

Dad came in and told Mom too.
My dad used to talk to me, but when he was talking to mom, he raised his voice a tone.

“I’ve been to all the nearby pharmacies, but there’s no mask?”
“Nowhere?”
“Uh. It’s all gone.”
“Even if it’s not the case, Jinhyeok came with a mask.”
“Okay?”

I spoke to Dad, extending my hand and pointing towards the sofa.

“Yes, Father. There on the sofa.”

I tend to mix daddy and daddy, mommy and mommy.
I don’t really care too much about names.

When I said that I had brought a mask, Dad went over to the sofa, picked up the mask box, opened it, and seemed to be impressed.

“Hmm, what box did you bring it in? How did you get it like this? A box of KF 94 masks. It’s not just a mask.”

Dad looked very happy and turned the mask box around with a happy face that is rarely seen.

Song Ji-eun should have seen this…
Just as BJ reacts when pickled radish explodes on Internet broadcasts like Cheonri Wall TV, Dad had a good reaction to the mask.
It was like watching my father catch a big fish and look proud of himself.

I looked at my father like that and laughed and said.

Haha, I happened to see it. Leave it and write it.”

The author brought a mask box in the middle of the night…
After that, after drinking a little beer together, it was hard to say that they had sex until late in the morning while fucking and rolling around naked.
In addition to the fact that she gave me a mask, since I’m a handsome guy, even if I go to a convenience store, it’s not that difficult for me to get a mask because the part-timer’s mask is on special sale, so I couldn’t say don’t worry.
I don’t know anything else, but I don’t think it would be easy for anyone other than me to tell my parents unless it’s time to get married.

Leaving the source of the mask in the labyrinth, I had a conversation with my father, who came to the table to eat an apple.
Her mother watched TV on the electric blanket in her living room.

My father and I sat diagonally.
And we started talking across a plate full of apples.

“What do you do? The exam is postponed.”

Dad said while eating an apple.
Even when the father is a little still, he has a strong impression as if his eyes are wide open.
In terms of movies, it can be seen as a mid-boss style with a bit of age on the villain side.
Compared to that, my mother is quite docile.
Even so, when I think about parent meetings during school days or times like this, my mother was almost the prettiest.
Not because it’s my mother, but her other friends said that too.
Anyway, my appearance is on the side of my father and mother, and in a way, I am a genetically handsome man who only resembles my parents’ strengths.

I also replied to my dad while eating an apple.

“I wasn’t the only one who was postponed, but everyone was postponed, so the conditions are the same, so I’ll just have to work harder.”

If I continue to work harder from now on, it might be to my advantage.
I’m the type with a strong short-term focus, so if it was predicted from last year that I would take the test after May, I might have started studying later while working while earning money.
However, once the exam was in March, and it was postponed a bit more, I was able to have the effect of learning by splitting the exam period to some extent.
Therefore, it was also an advantageous board for me, who had better short-term concentration.

“Do you have the confidence to join?”
“Oh, that’s right. There’s something I didn’t tell my dad.”
“Hmm?”
“It’s a mock test I took at that large academy, and I got 3rd overall.”
“Hmm… I really need to do well on the exam.”

To my conceited words, my father gave an answer as if pouring lukewarm water on them.
But I had no idea.
Because I think that’s right.
When preparing for the college entrance exam, no matter how well you take mock exams, in the end, going to a good university is the only way to win.

Still, there is a sense of self-satisfaction. It is true that you feel good even if you score well in the mock exam.

I talked to my dad while dipping and eating the next apple.

“How is the store?”
“Oh, the economy is completely dead. I’d rather have more people wandering around during the IMF.”
“Does this look too harsh?”
“Where else is it?”

Perhaps it was.
In the beginning, there were areas where there were no confirmed cases, but before we knew it, the cases were spreading to all parts of the country.

This is a bit of a problem when I see it.

If the symptoms are clear, it will be possible to isolate all persons with symptoms and treat them separately, because there are asymptomatic people.

According to an article, some people were asymptomatic for up to 27 days and then developed an outbreak. It seemed that the asymptomatic period was not fixed, and the virus could stay there for a long time and then pop out when immunity was weakened.

If so, that’s a much bigger problem.
This is because if the virus suddenly shows symptoms at some point without any symptoms, it could have become a person who transmits the virus as an asymptomatic person to many people in the meantime.

I can infect an asymptomatic person, and I can infect someone as an asymptomatic person.

In some articles, there is also a so-called mask-free movement, which tells people to live their economic life with peace of mind and walk around without wearing a mask.
I don’t know if the news is right or wrong.
However, if you go outside without wearing a mask, all eyes will be on you, so it can be difficult not to wear it.
It can be difficult to not wear a mask to be effective.

When I go outside, the atmosphere is very different from before.
Until the beginning of last month, when I was walking around, I thought that a person wearing a mask was unusual.
But now, when I walk around outside, it is not easy to find someone who is not wearing a mask.

In this environment, if I am the only one who does not wear a mask, it can be a nuisance to other passers-by.
That’s why I wear a mask unconditionally whenever I go out.
This is a matter of course.

This is because, unlike the swine flu or this time, concerns about asymptomatic symptoms are increasing, so there is a concern about not knowing how to become infected or how to infect them.

Because most people have such concerns, there is a mask crisis, and it is a difficult situation for a shop owner like my father.

In the case of my father, it was natural that it was a direct hit, and my father has been talking to me more about it.

“Even in the case of our store, we sent one person this time. Even if we sent one person out, it’s not easy.”
“Ah yes.”

Dad spoke while holding the long fork he used to eat apples for a while.

“It doesn’t matter if you give me the building, but I can’t close the door at all because the count keeps going.
“Yes. I’m doing well.”
“There are good things about being a public servant in this respect. As a public servant, you don’t have to worry, right? Whether it’s raining or snowing…
“Yes.”
“Wouldn’t there be pros and cons? If you’re a public servant, instead of earning a living, there’s no big deal. If you go into a large company, you’ll have a chance to grow, but you’ll have a hard time because of stress. If you work together in a store again, you’ll have things to worry about.”
“Yes.”

Yes.
All things will have their own advantages and disadvantages.

I was listening to my dad for a moment.

As a result, I felt like I knew something.
Dad also has his own frustrating points, so I guess he wants to tell me, he doesn’t show it, but he has a difficult side.

After living in the world for a while, I felt like I came to know those things.
Even if my father is older than me, I thought that it might be the same as yesterday when I was still in my teens, just as it was yesterday when I was still in my teens.

After talking with my dad and eating an apple, my dad went into the bedroom first and I watched some more dramas with my mom.

Then, after the drama was over, I went to my room and went to bed.
When I entered the room, there was already a soft futon that her mother had made for her.

As I got into the futon to sleep, many thoughts came to my mind.

It was especially about my career path.

Okay. When the country is in a difficult situation in general due to the current situation, it is true that being a public servant is an advantageous job compared to other jobs.

But will it be okay?

As Dad said, there are definitely pros and cons to everything.
But maybe I was thinking only of the merits of being a public servant.
Several other things also gave me some more thought.

I thought about it some more before I fell asleep.
