‘I got to do what I wanted to do. It’s a shame to quit, but it worked out well.’

I didn’t hesitate to say I was quitting.

However, I had some vague fears about how the store manager would react.

It wasn’t the first place I started working, but it was the first place I said I would quit my job.

‘You’ll do well, I’m sure. There’s no need to worry here, so if it’s okay with you, go there as soon as possible. Tomorrow will be okay too. If you passed the interview, wouldn’t it be okay to make you wait too long?’

However, the store manager was a really good person until the end, and even when I brought up the topic of handover, he supported me by saying that I could do that myself.

‘Well, I haven’t been that kind to you while I’m working, but let’s still say hello every time we come.’

This is the first time I’ve ever known that quitting something you’ve been doing for a long time can be so disappointing.

It’s clear that I’m quitting to do something I’ve always wanted to do, but I feel so sad…

The store manager said he didn’t do anything nice, but in reality, it was probably because he was always nice to me.

“Ha, I feel so sad.”

After chatting with the store manager who came home from work, the street I left was filled with the busy footsteps of people returning home.

“Ah, I have to contact Dayeon noona.”

Since he asked me to tell him what I decided to do, I took out my cell phone to say that I could start working right away, even from tomorrow.

“Broadcasting, you won’t do it now, right?”

First, go to the Labang platform and check to see if they are broadcasting, then make a call.

Actually, I thought about sending a text message, but I said it was more polite to call than text when talking about business.

~♪♬♪

After a few pleasant-to-listen coloring sounds.

[Yes, Dohyeon. ]

I hear a kind and friendly voice calling my name.

Wow, really… I feel like I want to record it and listen to it every day.

“Ah, sister. I just finished talking with the store manager and I’ll contact you when I come out.”

[Ah~ What did you decide to do? ]

“ Well, I told him that he would hand over the exam separately, but he said he couldn’t make me wait too long since I already passed the exam, and thankfully he said it was okay to quit starting tomorrow.”

Actually, I said to some extent that I would just hand over the goods and go, but the manager was a lot more stubborn than I thought.

Did you say that you don’t want to stand in the way of young people?

Even though that is absolutely not the case.

[ Oh my, you are such a good person. Still, if I quit so suddenly, it would be a huge blow to that side as well. ]

“I was worried about that too, so I told you, but you are stubborn.”

[Hehe, it seems like Do-hyeon has been a really good employee so far. Seeing you do that. ]

Wow, I can’t believe I got recognition for something like that from Dayeon..!

It’s completely heartbreaking..!

I should have recorded this…!

[Do-hyun, you’re making a very heartbroken expression again, aren’t you? ]

“Gasp..! Are you nearby? Or mind reading?!”

[Hmph.. I think Do-hyeon is like that for some reason. Anyway, I’ll take a break this week and start working next week. I also came to see the studio once on the weekend. ]

In any case, the balance is not at a level where there will be a problem if you take a break for a week.

And if you work with your sister, you will make more than you would at a convenience store.

“Yes, then I will go on the weekend. Could you send me the address?”

[Yes, yes, I will send it to you via Talk. Oh, and when I heard that Dohyun was coming over the weekend, he said he would come because he was curious about our thumbnailer. Is that okay? ]

A thumbnailer!

In addition to the editor who was said to have a bad personality, it seemed like he had a co-worker.

I’m not used to working with someone else, but there’s nothing wrong with being close to my colleagues.

“Sure, it’s okay.”

[It’s nice because it’s refreshing! Okay, see you this weekend! ]

“Yes, come in!”

[ Hehehe… You didn’t just bend 90 degrees like yesterday, right? ]

“I’m not that stupid?”

[I’m sorry, I made fun of you because you responded so well. I’ll hang up, see you later! ]

After the phone is hung up, you can still hear the loud sound of your heart pounding.

Wow, really… I really did succeed.

Until just yesterday, things like talking on the phone with Dayeon or being her editor…

It’s something I really couldn’t have imagined.

All the sad feelings I felt when I quit working at the convenience store all disappeared in an instant, and only the joyful and happy feelings remained.

Oh, I feel so sorry to the store manager if this happens.

Haha.. But what should I do with such a good thing!

***

Still, I thought it would be too difficult for the manager to suddenly leave work, so I decided to work for a week as a period to finish my work as Dayeon told me to rest this week.

Seeing as how the store manager seemed quite happy, I wondered if someone should have been selected and handover over.

‘You had a hard time! Well, this is nothing special. ‘This is a bonus given to me because I will be busy for a while and will not be able to have a closing dinner.’

He even gave me a bonus and congratulated me on my last shift.

Really, you will never meet someone who takes such good care of you at a convenience store again.

I have no intention of going back to my part-time job at a convenience store, but anyway.

Ding-dong-

And today is the long-awaited day to tour the broadcast studio.

The address of the studio I received via text message from my sister was so close to my house that I was surprised.

I can’t believe my sister was broadcasting so close to me…

“Yes~ Who are you?”

When I ring the doorbell, I hear a woman’s voice, which I have never heard before, come from inside.

Is this person the thumbnailer?

“Ah, hello! My name is Choi Do-hyeon, and I was supposed to come see you today!”

“Ah! You are the new editor! Wait a minute!”

There seemed to be a clattering noise inside for a moment, and then the door opened.

The first person to greet me when the door opened was.

“Welcome! My name is Da-yeon’s sister’s thumbnailer, Eun-chae Jeong!”

It was a co-worker who had short, dark-black hair that looked like it had been dyed black, wearing very thick horn-rimmed glasses, and a very cute face with a short stature.

“Hello. This is Choi Do-hyeon, the new editor.”

When I looked at her face again and introduced myself and said hello, she smiled and motioned for me to come in quickly.

“Sister! Sister Da-yeon! Dohyeon is here!”

Seeing that he was immediately called Do-hyeon, it seemed like the titles used at work were unified as ~.

Bang bang bang!

“Unnie-!”

Eunchae, who seemed to be quite close to Dayeon’s sister, was randomly knocking on the door, so I just stood quietly at the front door and waited for her to come out.

“Why are you standing there so uncomfortable? Come inside~”

My sister shows no sign of coming out, and Eunchae gently grabs my arm and leads me inside.

Oh… I can’t believe I was pulled by the arm by a woman…!

“Please sit down. I’ll call my sister.”

He pulls my arm and makes me sit on the small single-seater sofa in one corner of the living room, and then heads towards the room to call his sister again.

That’s Dayeon’s sister’s studio.

If we work together, I wonder if I can join in someday.

“Eon! you! Come out quickly!”

“Ah, Gigi-bae. I heard everything, so be quiet.”

Rattling-!

In response to Eunchae’s tremendous knocking, Dayeon walked outside with an expression as if she was noisy.

“What were you doing that made you come out so slowly? You weren’t broadcasting.”

“I went to the bathroom, what should I do~”

“Wow, again… wow..!”

“Hey, it’s not just the two of us. Do you want to do this?”

They seemed to be really close friends, but they just looked embarrassed as they talked without any hesitation.

Even women talk like that among themselves..

“Dohyeon, welcome. You had a hard time coming.”

“No, it’s 5 minutes from my house.”

“It’s really close, right? It won’t be difficult when going to work.”

That is correct.

It’s a shame that I didn’t know that my sister’s studio was so close until now…

Anyway, it’s a really good distance to commute to work.

“Oh! Do you live nearby, Dohyeon?”

“Ah, yes. I live in a villa 5 minutes away.”

“Hey~ I guess I should go visit Dohyun’s house next time!”

“Why are you going there?”

“Why go! It’s just like going to a new friend’s house!”

What a friend.

From the beginning, calling me a friend rather than a co-worker gives me a strong, insider-like feeling.

“Friends are shit. They’re co-workers. What about the two of you?”

“If coworkers get along well, they become friends. Isn’t that right, Dohyun? I’m also a big fan of Dayeon’s sister.”

“Gasp?! Really?!”

Oh no. But how do you know that I’m a big fan of Da-yeon noona?

“I also often watched the fan videos posted by Dohyun with my sister.”

“Oh, did you see that…?! I’m embarrassed..”

“The quality is definitely worth it.. crush..!”

“Hey, don’t be rude?!”

When the older sister presses Eunchae’s side quite hard, a startled voice comes out.

Well, honestly, I know that quality better than anyone else, so it doesn’t really hurt me.

“He’s not that kind of kid to begin with, but if he has similar hobbies… then he gets a little excited and acts like that. It’s not that I have bad intentions or anything.”

“Oh, it’s okay. Actually, the fan video I uploaded was of shameful quality.”

“You just have to do it well now! Anyway, welcome back. Let me start by introducing the space where Dohyeon will work. Come here.”
