3-room officetel.

And a two-room officetel.

It wasn’t all bad so I decided to sign the contract right away.

In particular, the large terrace tempted me.

My house doesn’t have a terrace.

So it was my dream to have a house with a terrace.

How should I decorate it?

Should I buy a tent and a stove and decorate it?

I’m worried.

I need to think about it in many ways.

“Then the down payment is…”

“No. It’s okay because it will be paid immediately upon signing the contract.”

“I see. Then, we will inform you that payment will be made immediately.

Since I was planning to deposit cash on the same day, I did not make a separate down payment.

A down payment is an amount paid in advance over time.

The maximum amount that can be transferred per day is 300 million…

About 200 million can be paid immediately.

“But is it okay if I lend you 100 million won?”

“Hey. The officetel owner is going to keep the rent anyway, so why worry?”

“Still…”

“Just buy food once in a while.”

Since it is the deposit anyway, it is impossible even if you try to make a living.

Seongho is said to be responsible for the rest, so…

At first, I thought about looking around more, but there was no place like this, so I just chose it.

It’s a hassle to walk around anymore…

“But is it okay to say you want to make a deal without even seeing the face of the officetel owner?”

“I was going to see it while signing the contract anyway.”

“Oh, is that so? Anyway, it is common to see the face and put down the down payment when signing the contract.”

At that time, we just have to pay the deposit right away.

I heard that real estate contracts aren’t as big of a deal as you might think.

You just have to be careful about anything.

Looking at the register copy… something like that.

“But what should I do for an hour?”

Seongho asks with an expression like that of a gorilla that was popular in the community.

It’s an hour later than I was supposed to meet with the officetel owner, so there’s nothing I can do.

According to common sense, PC rooms are the answer.

This is a world where men and women are reversed, so a cafe is the answer.

“Would you like to go to a cafe and have some coffee?”

“The cafe is good. I’d rather drink a vanilla latte.”

“Then I have Americano.”

When I told Seongho and I what coffee to drink, Minjae nodded and sighed.

It’s only natural because I lend 100 million and Seongho pays the rest.

“Okay, I got it, I got it…”

“You should also eat bread.”

Sweet bread goes to bitter coffee.

This is partly why I don’t drink sweet coffee.

“Are there macarons in front of you?”

“There is a really big one called ‘Dokarong’.”

“I have to sweep it all away today.”

Seongho, this guy…

No matter how much common sense has changed in the world, the desire to eat remains the same, right?

The myth of the five bowls of lunch in elementary school is still unforgettable.

How on earth does that fit into that small body?

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“No. Seongho: Because you really feel like nothing has changed.”

“Isn’t that the same for you too? In the first place, it is impossible for a person to change in just 5 years.”

is it.

I thought it was because everyone said that nothing had changed, but is it natural that nothing has changed in just 5 years in the first place?

It’s not that I’m weird, it’s just that everyone was like that.

*

After seeing Seongho doing a food fight with Minjae’s money, he came out.

Min-jae, who sheds tears while looking at the balance, and Seong-ho, who rubs his stomach, are showing very different reactions.

It’s ridiculous that a single snack costs 5,000 won, but I can’t believe I ate more than 20 of them.

1/10th of Minjae’s monthly living expenses was gone in one go.

If you think about it that way, it’s amazing.

Isn’t 1/10th of my living expenses gone in just one hour?

“It was a long way to get to Goryo…”

Minjae is drooping while checking his balance on a banking app.

Next to him, Seongho is just smiling contentedly.

“Still, if you come in, it’s a good place to live. Hold on tight.”

I don’t know how much I’ll get, but since it’s number 1 in weekly views, I’m sure I’ll get a lot.

My fingertips tingle as I think about receiving royalties that much.

“I’m sure… it will be okay once the money comes in.”

Minjae immediately wakes up with a grunt.

How much will I get…

But that’s not important now.

Now that you have found a studio, you need to take another action.

“That’s right. By the way, did you save money to decorate the studio?”

“….Someone would think that there is no money other than the prize money. I also worked for two years, right?”

“Oh, that’s right.”

Minjae This guy was originally an office worker.

Then, I quit my job, saying I would escape through a contest.

Was it a bit stupid back then? Not enough? I thought so, but looking at it now, it was a really good choice.

Isn’t this the case where he benefited the most from having me as a friend?

“How much do you have?”

“2 thousand?”

“2,000 is enough.”

I’m leaving out the LCD tablet because I’m planning on buying a nice one.

Assuming you need a computer and a desk… and some interior design, 2,000 would be enough.

But, it seems I was the only one who thought that way.

Seongho tapped Minjae on the shoulder, burped, and spoke.

“Are you okay with that? I’ll give you 2,000, so decorate it properly.”

Seongho This guy was really big.

He took out his cell phone from his pocket and immediately transferred 20 million won to Minjae.

How much is 20 million won?

You have to sell 200,000 views to make money!

“Is your new work doing well?”

“I’m not as good as you… but I hit 40 million a while ago.”

That’s amazing.

If you earn that much, it might not be a big waste to spend 2,000 on a wealthy friend.

“Thank you…”

“Thank you. If everything goes well, you’re going to suck it later, right?”

“…You always have an iron plate on your face.”

Still, I have some spare funds.

Then, let’s go meet the owner of the officetel.

***

The place where we decided to meet the officetel owner was a small cafe.

It would be nice to meet at a real estate agent, but we came to a small cafe in the neighborhood with the intention of having a cup of tea.

Although we had just finished eating coffee and bread, we casually chose coffee and sat down.

Of course, I got the iced Americano.

“But you’re a little late.”

“They say there’s an accident ahead and traffic is blocked.”

“Aha…”

That can’t be helped.

Didn’t I also have a bit of trouble due to traffic congestion due to a car accident some time ago?

When a car accident occurs, the police come and check everything, and then a wrecker called by insurance comes.

There are cases where a private wrecker comes first, but there are many cases these days where they say they will never do it.

Of course, that is the car owner’s opinion.

“Then it might take a while…”

At that time, the sound of a bell was heard and the door opened.

I turned my head to see if I could see it, and there was a very familiar face standing there.

“Hey. Isn’t he Jiye?”

Not long ago, I met a female friend I hadn’t seen in a long time at a class reunion.

A friend who had frequent skinship and strangely found me cute.

And he is also a friend who runs a franchise pork restaurant branded as ‘Happy Pig Slaughterhouse’.

“That’s right? What is he doing here?”

“Jiyeya!”

“Huh?”

Jiye glances this way and tilts her head.

Then he came up to me with a big smile and hugged my head.

“Little brother! Why is my younger brother here?”

“So you’re not my younger brother. I also have an earlier birthday.”

Nevertheless, Jiye continues to pat her head.

Trying to stop this won’t do any good.

“A. If you’re cute, you’re my younger brother.”

“Ugh.. That’s it. That’s it. But what’s going on here?”

“Did you come here for real estate? Rather, it’s you… Huh? Brokerage assistant?”

what.

Something seems a little strange going on.

It’s strange that Ji-ye is here, but the brokerage assistant sitting here also knows?

“Huh? Do you know someone?”

“We are close friends. No way, they said they were looking for a three-room and two-room officetel to use as a studio…”

“Here are the writers.”

“Writer…. everyone?”

When I heard the word “writer,” I tilted my head and looked this way again.

That’s right… Jiye knows that Seongho is a writer, but she doesn’t know about us.

“Is it okay if I tell you?”

“Jiye That guy has a big mouth, so wouldn’t it be okay.”

“You can trust Jiye.”

“Jiye? Would you like to sit down first?”

“Okay.”

Jiye took the coffee she had ordered in advance and placed on the table and started sipping it.

Hmm… where should I start?

“Did I tell you that I write?”

“Yes. But you didn’t tell me what you were doing.”

“Actually…I’m also writing a web novel.”

“Huh? Really?”

A voice that seemed unexpected.

Is it because I already know that Seongho is doing well with his web novels?

“Siwoo.”

“Yes.”

“There is no need to compare too much just because Seongho is doing well. Got it?”

Is it because of that?

I think he was worried that I would compare myself to Seongho and end up sagging.

Jiye, this guy has a really nice personality.

“Well…actually, I’m better than Seongho.”

“It seems to be going well. Much.”

“Really….? What kind of work is this…”

“Jiye, you know that too.”

“You know what Yeonnam Station is all about, right?”

“……A. Lie.”

Then I took a sip of my coffee and drank it.

what? Why don’t you believe it?

“It’s true.”

“That can’t be possible~ It’s a work that has destroyed all the best-selling works in Korea and is ranked first, and the writer of that work is Siwoo?”

“So?”

“A. I can’t trust my sister.”

Jiye smiled brightly, resting her chin on the table, as if she thought she was just making fun of herself.

In a Japanese animation, she looks like a woman looking at her friend sitting next to her.
