Chapter 158 – Everyday Life Just Before Leaving for Vacation
After Jooyeon finished getting ready and went to work, everyone came to their senses and finished checking out.
“It’s a pity that Joo-yeon left like that.”
Her mom and dad also looked a little sad, but in fact, it’s a problem that can’t be helped.
Yuna is the president of an agency, and Mihee is also the head of a company.
However, Joo-yeon said that in a way, he is just an employee, so he has no choice but to go to work in order not to harm others.
“I can’t help it, what. It’s embarrassing when an employee who works for my mother suddenly says she can’t come because of work that day.”
“It’s not like that.”
Since her mother is also in the position of a self-employed president, she nods her head as if she understands enough.
“Well, yes. It would be nice if we could take a vacation and have fun together.”
“You can talk about that in advance, okay?”
She’s honestly thinking of telling her to consider quitting if things don’t go well.
Of course, she herself has a dream, and she has been preparing for it, so she won’t tell me to stop recklessly.
“Anyway, I had a good hangover soup, and I had a good rest.”
“It will come up soon, so don’t play around too much.”
“What else can I do besides play?”
It wouldn’t be bad to learn stocks from Mihee.
Anyway, the main thing is to strengthen her powers while playing.
Now that my parents know about my abilities, I don’t say much anymore.
“Then, Sergeant Junggi, please take good care of me.”
“Yes, don’t worry. President.”
After Mom and Dad leave, something feels empty.
I really spent time with my parents after a long time, and I did a lot of filial piety.
He will come back soon, so he can go back then and be more filial and be together, but parting is always regrettable.
“Should Yuna and Mihee go to work?”
“Yeah, unfortunately I have to go soon.”
“Me too, Jisoo. It’s sad that our time together is so short.. Hurry up and schedule your trip.”
After making a promise to do so and going to Mihee and Yuna, the only thing left is Da-jung and me.
“Something has become very quiet.”
“Yes. It was very noisy with a lot of people.”
Come to think of it, I suddenly remember that Da-jung hadn’t decided on a place to stay for a few days.
“Where do you want to stay? If there is a hotel you want to stay in, I will book you there.”
I’ll be alone anyway, so I won’t need a room that big.
“Uh, do I have to be alone?”
“I’d like to ask her to stay at my house, but as you’ve seen before, my house is a bit small.”
“Then can’t we all stay at the hotel together? I think being alone is a bit scary.”
He grips my collar with his small hands and looks up at me with his big eyes.
“Yes, brother..?”
Besides, she even calls out to her brother with a lovely voice like a oriole.
Seriously… If this is the case, what kind of man can’t go over?
“Yes, then. Call the kids and let’s all hang out together. Well, wouldn’t it be okay if I said it felt like a travel intro?”
“Great!”
The eyes that had been straight up until just now brightened in an instant and drew a bright smile.
“By the way, when I first saw you, you were very skinny, but you’ve become pretty.”
“Oh, did I gain weight..?”
“That’s right.”
“Ah, ugh… I ate too much these days…”
“No, you should have gained some weight, man.”
He tousles Da-jeong’s hair, who has a confused look on her face.
“But I mean it looks a bit overcooked.”
“You should gain more weight.”
A lot of steamed horns.
I frowned at the handful of wrists that were still dry enough to show the bones.
“I guess I’ll have to take it with me and gain weight.”
“You won’t be pretty if you gain more weight..”
“Because you have to gain a little more weight to be beautiful?”
Just because you’re skinny doesn’t mean you’re pretty.
More than anything..
“I like people who are a bit fat.”
“If you look at Yuna unnie or Juyeon unnie, it doesn’t seem like it at all. Mihee unnie was also very slim.”
They say she is thin.
“But you’re not skinny, you’re skinny.”
“Anyway, that’s a complete deception.”
Well, it’s not that I have a house, um.
I must say that being skinny is not my taste.
“Anyway, being skinny like this isn’t my taste.”
“Is it so..? Then I’ll have to steam it up a bit more.”
Surely this is the best way to do it.
Because he said he liked me.
“In the meantime, shall we go get some dessert?”
Originally, the best way to gain weight is to eat sweet, salty, and sweet again.
It repeats infinitely.
If you do this for a month, you will probably gain 10kg.
“Have you just eaten?”
Looking at this, it seems that kids who don’t gain weight definitely have a reason for not gaining weight.
“Since we ate, we eat dessert.”
“Oh, is that so..?”
With Da-jung, who is puzzled, I search for a good dessert restaurant nearby.
Since there is no car, you have to walk or take a taxi.
If it’s a little far away, I’d rather take a taxi.
“What, do you like anything? Cake or bread.”
“Hmm, I don’t really know because I don’t eat a lot of things like cake.”
“Did you not eat it because you didn’t like it, or did you not eat it because it was expensive?”
There is no way that my parents knew the situation and did not pay the salary to the friend who took care of them properly.
If you gave a lot, you would have given a lot, and you would never have given a little.
“Since I do not have any money..”
It’s a little strange to see such an answer.
“What did you do with the money you earned while working?”
“It’s all in savings. I have to buy a house later, and I have to live on my own..”
It seems that life is really a real battle for him.
It’s a pity that a child still has to say things like this.
Those parents are human beings, what is the problem with him?
“Then let’s go get some cake. I’ll let you eat as much as you want. And don’t worry about the house. I’ll take care of everything later.”
He smiles and strokes his hair.
“Anyway, I have to help. You can’t live by just receiving everything from your brother.”
“You can just receive and live.”
“No way..”
After some more time has passed, when the authority is perfected.
At that time, I really want to take responsibility for everything.
To be honest, if I could freely use my powers a little more, that would be nothing.
“Let’s go get some cake first.”
He said there was a house that was good at making cakes, so he moved to that place.
It’s not bad to feel like taking a leisurely walk during a busy time when everyone else has to go to work.
“Anyway, I don’t know if the cafe is open at this time.”
It is still early in the morning.
I checked the opening hours of the cafe, but it was almost close.
“I’ll have to kill some more time and go. Would you like to go for a walk or something?”
“Ah, good..!”
Seeing Da-jung saying she likes everything makes me a little worried.
“Da-jung, can’t you say no when you don’t like it?”
“Ah.. I’m not very good at it.”
Just looking at it, it seemed so.
Think carefully.
At this point, I start to worry a bit whether someone is really doing everything they ask me to do and acting like a hogu.
You won’t be working at your parents’ store for the rest of your life.
That one day you will find your dream.
“What is your dream?”
“A dream? Um.. Not starving, living without being beaten..?”
Oh, I’m about to shed some tears.
Why is this kid so sad?
“That’s the default default. Other than that, there are things you want to do in the future or something like that.”
“..Uh, um..”
“Have you ever thought about it?”
He seems to be thinking hard, but suddenly he starts to look at me.
“What? Why are you suddenly noticing?”
If you ask him out of curiosity, he hesitates for a while before finally speaking.
“Ah, that, that’s what I want to inherit that, mom and dad’s store. That can’t be enough..! I have an older brother, and I am not his biological daughter…”
Oh, that’s something Mom and Dad would love to hear.
And there seems to be a misunderstanding.
“I have no intention of inheriting my parents’ shop.”
If that was the case, I would have decided to go to the store rather than college and learn my job.
However, it is true that I went to college because I had no desire to do so, and no dream.
“And how much your parents love you. If you said that, would you welcome it with open arms? What if it’s not your real daughter? I saw and learned more closely than my own son.”
I want to worry about everything, so I shrug my shoulders and talk.
“Ah… Is that really so? Thank you, brother..”
Her face flushed red, and her voice gradually faded.
It’s embarrassing, so I smile and stroke her hair.
“Just work as hard as you do now.”
Rather, it would have been much better.
I was worried that I would be treated like a hogu somewhere, but if I said that I would work in my house for the rest of my life, then one day I would be influenced by my mom and dad and speak better.
I think that my personality can be a little tougher.
Your mother must be very strong.
“Great. I was worried.”
“Which one?”
“Just. If you can’t say no well, it’s perfect to get caught somewhere. So I was worried about what would happen later.”
“Ah, not to that extent.”
I guess I had a temper to some extent.
That’s why I fought like that with Yuna before.
Perhaps those colorful personalities were weighed down in the name of my parents’ divorce and violence.
It must have been an environment where you could survive only by forcibly swallowing your words and paying attention.
“Ah, it’s almost time for the cafe to open. Let’s go and wait.”
I stop walking slowly and hold Da-jung’s hand.
“Ah yes…!”
Then she turns around and heads to the cafe she saw earlier.
Now it’s enough if I make you happy.
Happily enough to forget the past. Like that.
“Oh, the door is open. Let’s go in!”
Upon entering the open cafe, the first thing that catches your eye is the charming atmosphere.
It is said that it is quite cute and pretty from the outside, but the inside is definitely such a design that girls would like.
“Wow, it’s pretty.”
Isn’t Da-jung’s eyes twinkling as clear evidence of that?
“Welcome!”
A bright greeting from the clerk and a friendly smile.
And even the flowing music is calm.
The overall atmosphere is really good.
I reserve a seat by the window first and order with Da-jung.
“With this, um. This and this How is it like this?”
“Is this a lot?”
“Don’t worry, I will eat too. I’m not forcing you to eat it all.”
“Um, I see..!”
He bursts into laughter at the sight of him making a spleen expression.
“What would you like to drink?”
“Uh, I’m um.. Americano..”
“Do you like writing?”
“No, sweets…”
“But why Americano..?”
“Because that’s the cheapest..?”
I let out a sigh as I felt like I had a long way to go.
“Not cheap. Anything you want to eat.”
If I speak firmly, I nod and ponder for a while.
“If you like something sweet, how about watermelon juice among drinks this season?”
When the clerk also makes a recommendation, they nod slightly.
“Then, a glass of watermelon juice and an iced latte, please.”
“Thank you.”
After paying, I take Da-jung and sit by the window.
This feeling of enjoying leisure among busy people is indescribably good.
But good is good.
There was something I had to do right away.
“From now on, I need to do some training to say I like what I like and dislike what I don’t like.”
“Oh, me..?”
“Yes, you.”
“It’s fine.”
“I’m not okay.”
It’s sad and it’s sad
To be honest, being frustrated is also frustrating.
I promise to make it so that I can express myself better.
Of course, I’m not going to force you right now, but…
