D*rty Shower - Dirty Shower - Episode 30
#30
Even though the owner had changed, things were still simmering at the raw fish restaurant.
“Here you go!”
The heat was sweltering. Eunmyeong rolled up the sleeves of his hoodie. The exposed white forearms were glistening with sweat.
“Yes, I’ll be right away!”
Eunmyeong walked around the store, fluttering like a freshly caught live fish.
“Why is the spicy fish stew here so spicy?”
As I quickly approached the waving table, I saw a customer questioning me with an angry expression. He was the one who added Cheongyang pepper to the spicy spicy fish stew.
“sorry.”
Eunmyeong quickly bowed his head and said he was sorry. And he quickly brought a kettle and poured some of his broth.
Then the customer called me and I quickly approached him and he said this.
“Why is there so little raw fish here? Please refill it in a little while. “Let’s have some drinks.”
It wasn’t often, but there were people like this sometimes. Eunmyeong replied that she was sorry for this as well, but that it would be impossible since everything had been cut up. He gave us two more refills of corn cheese instead.
“Sit here and pour yourself a drink.”
Eun-myeong, who had been walking around almost completely absorbed, was hit painfully on the forearm.
When I lowered my eyes, it was that perverted man from before. He subtly teased Eunmyeong by telling her to bring peppers… .
“Well, I’m working.”
“It’s okay if you take it easy, what’s the point?”
My whole body started itching again. Displeasure crawled through my body like a furry caterpillar.
“I haven’t seen you in a while, when did you come here? “I thought you met someone else and started a house, huh?”
A bill stuck inside the apron. It is a delicate skin that is easily scratched by fish thorns, etc., and when I scratched it with the edge of the paper, it caused painful scratches.
It stings. Eunmyeong trembled.
“You don’t have to give me this, sir.”
Eun-myeong tried to quickly return the bill, but the other person subtly grabbed Eun-myeong’s wrist and stopped.
“They say the raw fish restaurant here is doing business wrong, so they need to sell something else to make a big success.”
While talking like that, he massaged Eunmyeong’s buttocks as if he was really kneading rice cake. I could feel the guests around me glancing at me. It has been reduced to a spectacle.
Calling the police was of no use here. It was something Eunmyeong had to solve himself. Eunmyeong said with strength in his eyes.
“Guests, you shouldn’t do this.”
Even though I lived my life earning a living from day to day, I didn’t want to have my pride diminished over just a few bills.
“What can’t be done? “I just want to make my brother look pretty and play with him.”
But as expected, the opponent was formidable. The smell of alcohol wafted from my mouth like bad breath. Eun-myeong, who was actually very scared on the inside, let out a sigh.
“Give us a bottle of soju!”
At that time, like a savior, an order came from another table.
“Well, I’m busy so…” .”
Eun-myeong, who was in despair, quickly left the place. For half a day after that, Eunmyeong was hit by her customers, struggled with raw fish, and held on to her sanity that was trying to break.
Then, as night fell, it started to rain, and the footsteps became intermittent. It was dusk and darkness was everywhere. Eun-myeong stayed behind with Aunt Jeong-hye to clean up after her.
“It looks like rain clouds are coming from above. “I heard Seoul is already flooded.”
At the word Seoul, a man naturally popped into Eunmyeong’s mind. The man had been away from the hotel for several days already.
While I was looking outside blankly, the store phone rang.
“I’ll take it!”
Thinking it was a delivery call, Eunmyeong quickly walked over and picked up the receiver.
“Hello, this is Gyeryongpo Fisheries.”
As was my habit, I prepared a notepad and pen, but the voice coming out of my mouth was completely unexpected.
―Eunmyeong.
It was my older sister. She was at the moment with her eyes half closed from fatigue.
“sister.”
Eunmyeong opened his eyes and straightened his spine.
-How have you been? Even so, I had no idea how to contact you. Hyojin told me that you are coming to work at a raw fish restaurant these days.
And when asked what happened, Eunmyeong softly answered no.
“No, nothing happened.”
Actually, it wasn’t a big deal, but since we broke up like that in the end, it was obvious that my sister would be worried. Eun-myeong said she worked hard at a raw fish restaurant and she begged for it.
-Is that really all there is?
My sister doubted it, but Eunmyeong kept nodding yes.
“I’m having a good time at the raw fish restaurant here. “If you ask Hyojin, you’ll know.”
On the surface, it would seem to be no different from before, so I confidently said so. Soon, a slightly reassuring voice was heard.
– That’s good, I was so worried that that gangster might have done something to you.
Just listening to the voice made me feel like all the fatigue that had been clinging to my body all day was melting away.
―Ah, I feel relieved now that I got the phone call. I kept borrowing my coworker’s cell phone to keep in touch, so I bought a used phone.
Now that I think about it, my sister’s cell phone was owned by a man… . Next to that thought, there was a word that stuck in my head. colleague? If you’re a colleague, who are you talking about?
“Where are you staying now?”
When I asked the question, I heard a long sigh.
―Eunmyeong, I helped that gangster look for a job at Capital. Work and pay off your debt. I came here because there is a dormitory next to the company, so I think I will be staying there.
Eunmyeong’s eyes grew as big as a flower lantern at the unexpected news. Immediately, a bright color appeared on the face.
“really?”
Aunt Jeonghye, who was entering the kitchen with a dishcloth for wiping the table, asked, “Why? why?” While doing so, she came along.
“Who is it?”
Eunmyeong smiled brightly and answered, ‘Eunjoo’s older sister.’
“What?”
Aunt Jeonghye quickly stuck her head in and asked me to hear her voice too.
“You bastard! “I wondered if he had abandoned his younger brother and run away.”
―Auntie, you’re running away. I completely succeeded. Now I can wear a nice uniform and go to a decent job.
“The bad Gijibae doesn’t even make a phone call to his aunt.”
Aunt Jeonghye had tears in her eyes, but quickly wiped them away with her floral top.
-I’ll stop by the store soon to buy a boat.
“Ugh, Nina, I’ll eat the pears, and my aunt, I’ll buy melons.”
I heard my sister’s voice laughing softly. The phone call ended in a friendly atmosphere at the end of a hectic day at the store.
Eunmyeong gently hummed a song with a mess of notes and tempo while dividing the spoons into the spoon containers.
“Hmm, hmm, hmm.”
When I went to Seoul, I didn’t see any of them, so I thought they had forgotten about me, but I never imagined that they would be so eager to find a job for my older sister.
My sister doesn’t have to worry, now all I have to do is work hard and pay off my debt. Thinking that things seemed to have calmed down, Eunmyeong gently rubbed her shoulders from side to side.
“No, there was no news from Eun-ju, so why did she suddenly ask for a job?”
Eunmyeong grinned at Aunt Jeonghye’s question. Her mouth was itching.
“that… .”
But can I say this?
Eunmyeong was debating whether to speak or not and then spoke carefully. Aunt Jeong-hye has taken care of me and her older sister since we were young, and she is also the only person who has shared my heart with me because of her missing older sister.
“The owner of the raw fish restaurant recognized this place.”
“That unscrupulous thug?”
Eunmyeong shook the back of his neck at the curse that suddenly came out. Well, of course, that doesn’t mean he’s not a bad person, but that doesn’t mean he’s not a gangster, but maybe that’s not all.
“Yes, you took care of my bar and food well.”
Even though she said that, Aunt Jeonghye had a look of “no way” on her face.
“I told him I had nowhere to go, and he let me sleep at home.”
“Hummer? It’s something to live for a long time. “He seems like the kind of guy who won’t even blink even if he loses all his money.”
“Yes, he let me take a bath, and even called a doctor when I was sick.”
As I talked, I became more and more excited without realizing it and became more and more foolish.
“He bought me clothes because I had nothing to wear.”
Even though my underwear was a mess. I couldn’t bear to say anything and just swallowed it. They were all so obscene and crude that they couldn’t even be used as dishcloths.
“Ugh, if it were my daughter, I would have said that a guy like that shouldn’t even get mud in his eyes.”
My aunt hid her tears again and scrubbed the store door. It was raining and there were lots of dirty stains on the door.
“I think it would be better for you to stretch your arms like that.”
Eunmyeong looked toward the door of the store while holding a spoon. I wasn’t sure what her aunt was talking about.
“I feel pity that Eun-ju and the smart Gashina would meet someone like that.”
That’s what it said again. Just as I was about to say no. The sound of shoe heels could be heard outside. A pitch black shadow appeared outside the closed door.
A person who is so tall that Eunmyeong can be easily recognized just by looking at his shadow. He was a man.
“to… .”
Aunt In-yeong appeared like a black goblin and quickly stepped back, clutching her chest with her hand.
“Oh my! “My heart is falling.”
Drurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! The man opened the door of the store and entered. The eyes of a man whom I had not seen in a long time looked down at Eunmyeong.
“Do you still have a store?”
Suddenly, I saw rain pouring down from behind the man. It felt like I was in a rain forest. Eunmyeong touched her lips, feeling somewhat cozy.
“hurry… Please come.”
As I was thinking about this, I remembered a time when I had just met a man. That was the day that Eunmyeong applied medicine to his eyes without the man knowing.
“How may I help you?”
The man frowned softly. A loud voice seemed to fill the store.
“With what you’re good at.”
