I Became the Lousy Side Top - Episode 105
The damaged store was surprisingly easily resolved. When I stopped by in the morning, I saw strangers fixing up the store, so I inquired and they said someone else had hired them. That person was probably Mujin.
‘Couldn’t he help me with my resident registration card?’
I thought about that, but it was awkward to ask for something, so I stayed quiet. It seemed like she had no intention of going that far, even in Mujin.
‘In a way, it’s natural.’
I remember the look in Mujin’s eyes the last time I saw him. Those eyes filled with obsession and madness. He doesn’t know how she would have reacted if Hyunjin wasn’t right by his side. Mujin’s attack has disappeared for now, but we will have to remain tense from now on. Everything requires a price.
Anyway, once the store returned to its original state, we gained momentum and were able to proceed with the next work quickly. A sign with the company name was put up, and a temporary opening date was set.
〈Our Earthen Pot〉
We decided to use the name Woohee created for the store. It was an ordinary name, but I was satisfied knowing the meaning behind it.
When that day came, Mujin sent me a large and beautiful flower pot. Although it was scary, I couldn’t throw away the flower pot, so I put it on display at the entrance.
Then, in the afternoon, the grandmother came to visit with people she knew.
“Grandma, what about the store?”
“You can rest for a day. So, please bring me some food.”
The small, quiet store suddenly became noisy. Orders came in one by one, and Jaewoo entered the kitchen and quickly started playing with his hands.
The few menu items were completed in an instant.
“Let’s have a taste.”
People were laughing and chatting as they emptied the food in the earthen pot.
“Wow, kimchi stew is so refreshing and delicious.”
“How about soybean paste stew? “It’s my first time eating something this delicious.”
Compliments poured in. Everyone was praising the food. So many people came and ate, then left in a hurry, and the restaurant became quiet. People passing by occasionally took a peek, but did not easily enter.
‘Well, I guess this is how it should be in the beginning.’
Jaewoo sat next to Hyunjin and enjoyed the quiet afternoon. He felt good about the sunlight pouring in through the front window.
It was around that time that Mujin came to visit. He came with his fellow companions and first handed over a colorful fruit basket.
“Opening gift.”
I accepted it without a second thought and sat down.
“I’m not selling it to you.”
Hyunjin spoke firmly and tried to chase him away, but he wouldn’t budge. I leisurely looked at the menu and chose something to eat.
“How can you do business by choosing customers? Oh, is there any cheonggukjang?”
“doesn’t exist.”
“Let’s eat that soybean paste stew and beef bulgogi. you?”
No matter what happens, it will never happen. I had no choice but to go into the kitchen.
“You just eat this and leave.”
“Think about it.”
Mujin held a spoon and slowly enjoyed the food. They were so focused that ordinary dishes seemed like a feast.
“It’s still the same.”
Mujin laughed after eating all the food.
“delicious.”
Was he a person who could smile like that? Jaewoo blinked his eyes slowly.
“Let me order some more.”
Mujin, who had wiped the smile off his face before he knew it, ordered a different menu this time. And only after eating it all did I get up.
“Come again next time.”
“I told you not to come.”
Jaewoo grumbled, but it didn’t seem to work this time either. Next, a few people Hyunjin had met while working various part-time jobs stopped by. As time passed and evening arrived, the last scheduled customer entered the store.
“brother!”
It was Hyunwoo and Woohee.
“Come on.”
“Wow!”
Woohee looked around the store with an exclamation. Hyunwoo also pretended not to be, but he seemed to have a similar mindset as his younger brother as he kept looking around.
“Sit wherever you like.”
“Then I’ll sit here!”
Woohee sat at the counter seat created for single diners.
“If we’re going to eat together, wouldn’t it be better to have a bigger place?”
“Oh right!”
Woohee, who had been sitting on a chair and stomping her feet, moved to her seat. I sat facing Hyunwoo and looked at the food being served one after another with sparkling eyes. It was a food I had always come across easily, but today it felt different. Maybe it’s because it’s the first time I’ve tried this food at a store.
This time, Jaewoo and Hyunjin also sat next to the children. It was dinner time anyway, so we were going to eat together.
“Do you think we need to change the menu a little bit?”
“Because there are few things, right?”
“There’s that too. How does it taste? are you okay?”
“I told you everything was delicious today. Be confident.”
“But this is my first time selling food.”
Until now, I had just cooked food for people I knew. Apparently, the weight was different from selling it for money.
“it is delicious.”
Hyunjin showered praise on Jaewoo.
“It is very delicious. “I have never eaten food more delicious than what you made.”
It’s embarrassing to praise too much. It was only later that Jaewoo realized that.
“Okay, stop, stop.”
Jaewoo barely covered his mouth and focused on his meal again. For dessert, I took out a melon from the fruit basket I received during the day and sliced it. Maybe it’s expensive, but the taste is pretty good.
After eating until their bellies were full, they finished washing the dishes and closed the store. After that, we held hands with the children and went back home. The road was quite long, but it wasn’t difficult, perhaps because I walked lighter than usual.
“Then when do you start doing business?”
“In a week?”
“I’m going to make a lot of money!”
As Hyunwoo answered his question, Woohee next to him added his opinion in an excited voice.
“Why do you think so?”
“Because it’s delicious!”
At the same time, they vigorously wave their joined hands. She was such a lovely child.
“Yes, I wish I could make a lot of money.”
Then many things will change. First of all, the number of employees will increase and the store will grow. At that point, Hyunjin should stop working. I asked him if there was anything he wanted to study and wanted to help him learn it. I wanted Hyunjin, who had been working all his life, to know that there is now another way.
So let’s cheer up. Jaewoo promised and promised.
As time passed, a small store at the corner of the market opened. There were only a few customers on the first day, but as time went on, more and more people came and went. Later, the two of us couldn’t handle it, so we hired more staff. And when there was a long line outside the store, they decided to expand the store.
The upper floor was empty, so we rented it. Up to that point, everything went smoothly. Mujin still stopped by the store often, and her grandmother sometimes visited and had a meal. Busy days continued.
It was nice to make a lot of money, but if things continue like this, my body will just get tired. Under agreement, it was decided to shorten the days the store is open.
“But it’s nice to have two days off a week.”
“I think I can take three days off.”
“But there are a lot of customers looking for us.”
“I know. “I’m grateful.”
The two lay side by side on the floor and looked at the sky. Winter was passing and spring was slowly entering. Warm weather was somewhat unfamiliar to them, who only met when it was cold.
“It’s almost spring.”
As I was mumbling absentmindedly, Hyunjin reached out his hand. A large, rough hand held Jaewoo’s hand tightly.
“Yes, brother.”
When I turned my head to the side, I saw Hyunjin’s face smiling.
“It’s spring.”
“Then shall we go on a picnic tomorrow?”
“Where?”
“Anywhere.”
I will be happy with you. As I smiled at him, Hyunjin hesitated and came closer. And then he got on top of Jaewoo and looked down at him.
“What about the children?”
“I went out to play with my friends.”
For a while, it’s just adults-only time. Hyunjin lowered his head and locked lips with Jaewoo. The warmth transmitted through thin skin even warmed my heart.
“How about fixing up the small room quickly?”
“why?”
“It’s time for my younger siblings to have separate rooms as well.”
Hyunjin spoke in a childish manner and buried his lips on the back of Jaewoo’s neck. Because she lived with children, her skinship with Hyunjin could not go beyond kissing.
“There are a lot of things I want to do with my brother.”
And then, my heart pounded as I saw him smiling.
“Me too, I have a lot.”
One of the hands that had been resting on the floor began to creep into his shirt. And I felt my flat stomach from lying down. And then the kissing started again. As I touched her skin, my lips naturally parted. The tongue that came between them began to explore the inner flesh.
bang!
That was about it. I heard the sound of the front door opening. Jaewoo and Hyunjin quickly fell. And at the same time, a loud voice was heard.
“Brother, look at this!”
It was Woohee. The two people who quickly fell down laughed as they watched Woohee jumping around like a puppy in excitement.
It happened at the end of one winter.
