– The moon is bright. It looks like my face is stuck on the moon.

– Hanaya oppa is already 40 years old. Now I have to get married soon.

– Hana, you just need to come physically? My brother prepared everything.

– Is it because of my age? Even though I’m older, I’m still physically in my early 30s?

“Ugh stop! Stop it!!!!”

I couldn’t hold on any longer and hit the desk with my head.

“No, why is my body like this this time!! Just pretending to be a handsome, young guy!!!”

“Are you fat? doesn’t care! Just take it out! Older one? are you okay. It could be so.”

however.

“But this character is too much!! You pigeon bitch!!!”

They scream curses at God at the top of their lungs that cannot be heard.

Now that I think about it, I think this situation is more difficult than when I was dragged around by Namgung So-yeon.

For 30 minutes, I was alone in the study with a blood clot in my throat, blaring loudly.

As my body gets older, I don’t have the strength to struggle anymore.

I cooled off by resting my chin on the desk.

“Let’s just die.”

After thinking for a long time, the words that came out were simple.

“Do I have to live as a person with such a dark history? I can never do it. Never…”

However, the original mind that lives somewhere deep in my heart speaks to me.

– But, you’re the owner of the building?

– You have money you’ve never touched in your life?

– I don’t have a job, so I can just live as I want.

A soft, sweet voice that whispers like the devil’s temptation.

From here on, it’s a balance game.

[Living as a boring building owner in his 40s vs. living as a handsome person in his 20s and 30s]

“…AC. It’s a joke….”

It’s a ballbung.

I can’t resist the building owner’s temptation. And what would you do if you were possessed by a handsome man? I got hit with a knife and fell.

Wouldn’t it be better to just live like this?

I’m a bit tired of being tossed around and dying.

“Good. Let’s think positively, positively.”

This dark history, which seems to be the only flaw, can be seen from a different perspective as having not progressed seriously yet.

It’s a one-sided courtship from a middle-aged man anyway, right? It doesn’t seem like the relationship has progressed at all.

Well, I’ve also been criticized by women a lot in the past. So… wouldn’t it be okay to think of it as a similar experience?

The more I think about the fact that there is no difference between the original and the present, the sadder it becomes.

Oh, let me wipe away my tears for a moment.

“Good. The bad life ends here! Now let’s be born again. All you have to do is be born again. Now~ Kang In-ho can do it! Let’s do it!”

Let’s quit everything and live.

Quit drinking, quit smoking, and quit dating girls.

If you do this, you can live a healthier life.

Because I have a lot of money. Let’s live here as well as possible.

-growling

As I stood up from my desk with a firm resolve, a loud noise came from my stomach.

“Wow, I’m hungry.”

Since there doesn’t seem to be anything to eat at home, let’s go out and eat.

Also to cure hangover.

***

After moving to another dimension, my long-awaited first meal was sundae soup.

I don’t know how much I drank the day before, but I felt empty and sore.

“Huhuhuhuhuhuh.”

When I scooped up a spoonful and put it in my mouth, it was so hot that it cooled in my mouth.

The person who made the soup should be rewarded. At this price, it definitely gives you a feeling of fullness.

The feeling of filling my stomach and the taste of the savory soup on the tip of my tongue helped me forget reality for a moment.

Okay, just for a little while.

– What about my age? What about my age?

A very old cell phone rang. It’s my cell phone.

Wow, I need to change it or something.

After briefly looking at the caller’s name, I swallowed the soup in my mouth.

“Hello.”

– Ah, brother, I have something to tell you about Myeongseong Building. Are you at home?

“Oh, there’s a sundae restaurant near my house. Come to work.”

– Yes, yes, I will go.

After ending the call, Yoo Ho-cheol soon arrived where I was.

Mid thirties. Someone who treats me with respect and takes care of the little things about my business.

I don’t know exactly what their relationship is, but looking at the things we exchanged, it seems like we’ve been together for quite a long time.

In other words, he is a person who has been verified to some extent.

A man with short sports hair sat in front of me.

“Why are you eating all that soup?”

Hocheol asked while fanning his hand.

“I drank too much yesterday.”

I answered as I scooped up half of the rice balls and added them to the soup.

“Still. Brother, you didn’t even notice that Sundae Guk and Rice smell like pork.”

Hocheol said after pouring water into a glass and drinking it.

“I don’t know. Do your tastes change as you get older?”

“Ah, brother. You said you’re still lively. I heard that it doesn’t matter if you compare it to people in their 20s.”

Hocheol said with a friendly smile.

“Be quiet.”

I said that? Addition of black history.

Hocheol started talking about what the weather was like and what the tenant was like these days, and I ate while listening to the story.

By the way, has this man eaten?

“Hey.”

“Yes?”

I cut off Hocheol, who was talking about something for a long time, and asked him.

“Have you eaten?

“Oh, no. Not yet.”

Late lunch time. It was long past meal time, but Hocheol’s stomach was growling.

“Let’s eat together. I’ll buy it for you.”

I couldn’t ignore that sound, so I suggested it to him.

“Yes? Together?”

Hocheol is startled by my words.

“Why? Did I say something strange?”

“No, it’s not like that. I think it’s been a while since I had a meal from you. Haha.”

He scratches his cheek as if he was embarrassed by what he said. I smiled and responded.

“How expensive is Sundaeguk? Here you go! Please give me some soup.”

Eventually, the soup came out, and Hocheol was so moved that he kept saying thank you.

The me before… Was I a saltier person than I imagined?

He was so hungry that he ate the soup without even letting it cool down. Before I knew it, the amount of soup became similar to mine.

“Hey… isn’t it hot?”

“Ugh… Hmm… this much.”

I keep saying this while cooling down, but I don’t know if that’s okay.

Anyway, Hocheol ate the soup as if he had starved for ten years, and I was able to witness the one-person mukbang show right before my eyes.

Wow… you can’t believe you’re putting something that hot right down your throat… Humans are amazing after all.

After Hocheol’s energetic meal, I wiped my mouth with a tissue and said,

“You said you had something to talk about, right?”

“Yes. It’s on the 6th floor of Myeongseong Building.”

Hocheol, who was patting his stomach for a feeling of fullness, corrected his posture and said.

“Myeongseong Building 6th floor?”

Uh… what’s going on there?

When I made a blank expression, Hocheol explained further, saying he knew that would happen.

“There is a place where the deposit was paid last month. Gym.”

It seems to be a common landlord-tenant problem.

“But?”

“That’s because I can’t even pay rent this month. I told him to sort it out now. But it’s very difficult. He said he would definitely ask his brother to be kind to him.”

“Hmm… Really? Has something similar to this happened before?”

“No. I never saw it. You always said that. It’s not like digging in the ground and doing business.”

You said it so rudely.

I put the water in my glass to my mouth and tapped my phone.

Let’s see… The location of Myeongseong Building… is closer than I thought. It’s a walking distance from home.

“If the 6th floor vacates, will anyone come in?”

“I should upload it. As you know, there isn’t that much traffic, so I don’t think it will arrive anytime soon.”

My crossed legs were uncomfortable, so I tried to change my posture, but the heavy belly fat kept getting stuck.

“You know.”

“Yes.”

I speak to Hocheol with my eyes fixed on my cell phone.

“Let’s just leave it at that. Gym.”

“? why? When I saw it. There’s absolutely no one there. It was empty. I don’t think I’ll be able to pay the back rent no matter how many times I look after it.”

“No, I’m not just giving it up for the money. The idea is to leave it as a convenience facility.”

“Amenities?”

“Yes. I’m thinking about doing some exercise. Because I gained weight. It’s good to go to the gym close to home.”

“I guess that’s true. But if that’s the case, wouldn’t it be better to register at a gym in a similar distance?”

“The idea is to use what we have. It’s in our building, so there’s no need to go anywhere else, right? Go ahead and ask. Because I won’t be collecting rent for a while. Can you help me do some exercise? For free.”

“Uh… let me tell you something. I think it’ll probably be okay.”

I stood up, paid for the meal, and when I spoke, Hocheol nodded slowly and answered.

“Then, I will go to Myeongseong Building right away.”

“Yes, oh that’s right! Go and package it well and talk about it. Don’t be rude and say you’ll do it for free.”

I won’t charge rent, so let me exercise. I wasn’t thick enough to confidently say that.

Instead, I asked Hocheol to pack it well, and he patted his chest, telling me not to worry, and quickly disappeared.

***

Garam Fitness Center.

When Hocheol, who had just visited, returned, Choi Garam, the owner of the center, looked puzzled.

The sight of the empty center contrasting with the exciting music pricked her heart and made her feel sick.

She, whose dyed yellow hair had lost most of its color, tied it up in a ponytail and sat at her desk.

I was clinging to it with the feeling of grasping at straws… Could it be that the building owner showed mercy?

She kept thinking about not drinking kimchi soup, but once the happiness circuit had started, it didn’t stop.

Hocheol, with a kind smile, came with an answer to what she said.

Garam, who had been listening to Hocheol’s explanation for a while, tilted his head and asked Hocheol if what he heard was correct.

“Uh… First of all, it was an unreasonable request, but thank you for listening. But… is it true what you just said? The boss? You…”

“Yes! My brother is very interested in Garam’s (fitness center). He said he would like (the center) to remain as long as possible.”
