“Hmm.”

I recently bought a bicycle.

Living in a dormitory and going to school was a hassle, so I bought it so I could exercise.

This turned out to be more expensive than I expected.

“I didn’t originally plan on doing this.”

I was satisfied when I saw the well-shaped black bicycle, but a part of me felt anxious.

At first, I wanted to buy a bike that I could just ride around.

Isn’t it enough to just keep rolling anyway?

But when I thought about it, I still had two and a half years left to graduate from college.

In the meantime, unless something major happens in the dormitory, I think I will continue to stay in the dormitory.

If it breaks in the middle, wouldn’t it cost more to repair or buy a new one?

So I decided to choose something that could be used for a long time without being damaged at all.

“… … .”

As I thought about this, the grade and price gradually increased, and before I knew it, I was buying quite expensive items.

I’m worried that someone might steal it if I leave it in the dormitory bike storage room.

But you can’t leave the bike in the room.

anyway.

“It’s doing well, though.”

I took it around a university once as a test run, and it definitely worked out well.

When I actually stepped on the pedal, I thought it was a good purchase even though it was expensive.

“When I got off the bike, it hit me hard.”

When I returned on foot, I even wondered if I should have paid that price to buy it.

If this is going to be the case, wouldn’t I have to live on a bicycle for the rest of my life?

“Ah, this is why chaebols shouldn’t be like this.”

After blaming it on family blood, he brushes it off. I bought an expensive one, but wouldn’t it be worth it if I rode it that hard?

“At this point, I should at least try cycling around.”

Last time, I tried to go camping during the vacation, but I couldn’t go because I ran out of money.

This time, it didn’t seem like a bad idea to save up money and travel by bike and go camping during summer vacation.

“Oh, I’m kind of excited.”

It was just something I thought about without any meaning, but when I imagined it, it seemed like it would be quite fun.

Wouldn’t it be a very fruitful vacation if you took your time and looked at the surrounding scenery while riding a bicycle around the country?

“Well, there’s still a lot left.”

Midterm exams are now over.

There is still a long way until summer vacation.

Recently, there was a lot of noise at the university preparing for the sports competition.

In the case of Yeongmun, the reactions themselves were sad because they had no experience with sports competitions.

The arts and physical education departments were preparing with all their heart and soul as if this was our battlefield.

I don’t know why, but Yoo Ah-rin is into basketball and has been playing hard with the women’s basketball club recently.

I used to say that if there was basketball in the sports competition, I would definitely go.

Well, anyway.

Everyone is working hard.

I also had concerns.

It’s something that has something to do with bicycles.

“I don’t have any money.”

I still had living expenses left over, but I still needed some extra money just in case.

After using up my emergency fund to buy a bicycle, I now really need a part-time job.

The first place I thought of was the cafe where senior Joohee works.

Honestly, if you want to make things easier, that might be the most convenient place.

It was also a cafe, and in the first place, the work itself would be easier if senior Minjoo-hee was there.

‘But it’s a bit like that.’

It wasn’t long ago that three people glared at me because of Oh Yun-ji at the last drinking party.

Because it would really be a bad idea to stay with Joohee, who confessed to me here.

“I should at least look into job search sites.”

I go back to my room, turn on my laptop and go to the job search site.”

I heard that this has become so popular these days that it is not that difficult to find a part-time job.

“Oh, there are quite a few types of part-time jobs.”

I wanted to avoid anything that was too hard as much as possible, and I also had to avoid working too long.

It’s true that I needed money, but it wasn’t urgent.

Because I wanted to spend time with my kids whenever possible.

“There are quite a few convenience stores.”

I thought it would be a good idea to go that way. I’ve worked at Gold One before, but this is my first time working part-time like this.

Convenience stores have the lowest hurdles, and work seems more convenient than other places.

Of course, it is said that it is difficult when the truth or people are crowded.

Actually, I thought it would be the same everywhere.

“Factory? Is there a factory near here? What is this again? They give me a lot of money.”

However, there were some places that were strangely unpleasant or where I felt like I shouldn’t contact them carelessly.

Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!

Ringing phone.

It was Choi Yi-seo.

“Hello.”

– hello? Woojin, what are you doing now?

“Me? I’m looking for a part-time job. I’m almost out of money now.”

– … … Did you buy an expensive bike?

“Kuhm.”

– Ha, that’s why I told you not to look at the high price range for no reason.

“No, but it goes well. I think I made a good purchase.”

– Since I bought something expensive, it will probably go well. If that doesn’t work, why buy something expensive?

Anyway, look at how they are beaten up with correct opinions.

This is domestic violence.

As soon as I kept my mouth shut, Choi Yi-seo didn’t bother to move towards the bike and revealed his business.

– I made some side dishes with Minji. Shall I bring them for you?

“Ah, it’s so good! I’ll go. Why bother coming? Since I bought a bike, I have to get rid of it.”

– OK got it. We’ll lend you the container, so just bring a bag.

“Okay.”

Pop.

When I hung up the phone, I felt like I had some breathing room.

Anyway, Choi Yi-seo definitely has good sense in this regard.

Maybe he expected me to buy an expensive bicycle and deliberately prepared a side dish for me out of fear that he would go hungry.

‘Was that too far?’

Well anyway.

Before I leave, I browse some more job search sites to make sure I’ve already started.

I was just going to take a look at it one last time before heading to Choi Yi-seo’s house.

“Hmm?”

There was one store that seemed familiar.

I quickly checked my phone and saw that the store owner’s number was also mine.

“Oh, it’s okay here. It looks like fun.”

An unexpected connection occurred.

I called right away for an interview.

* * *

“Oh, what is this? Is it Jangjorim?”

I came to Choi Yi-seo’s room to get some side dishes.

Choi Yi-seo, who has already prepared everything, puts on an apron and smiles while handing me a container of side dishes.

“Yes, you will only have Hetbahn. I made it a little salty to make it a good side dish.”

“Oooh. Can I hug you just once?”

“Don’t you usually ask if you can try it?”

When I stretched out both hands and rushed at him, Choi Yi-seo pushed my chest with his hands and checked behind me.

I nod after checking that my roommate Minji is in the bathroom.

closely!

I immediately run over and hug her, and Choi Yi-seo pats my back while sighing with some relief.

“Don’t just eat ramen or order anything else for no reason. If you really don’t have anything to eat, come to my house, okay?”

“Mom.”

As I mumbled that without even realizing it, Choi Yi-seo gave me a firm hand and slapped my back.

“Do you want to die?”

“Woman, Yeochiin?”

“After, not yet.”

Choi Yi-seo smiled softly and buried her face in my chest.

“Good to hear.”

After that, we heard the sound of water flushing in the bathroom, so we quickly ran out.

There’s no need to show a side that doesn’t need to be seen.

“Did you find a part-time job?”

Choi Yi-seo asked as she put the remaining side dishes in her bag.

It felt so natural that it felt as if what we had just been hugging had never happened.

“First of all, I decided to go for an interview. He told me to come right away so I could get some side dishes from you and then go.”

“Aha, where are you? cafe? convenience store? restaurant? If you get a part-time job, you should go once.”

“It might be a bit like that.”

“… … Hmm?”

“Well, be sure to come visit. I’m going to go soon because it’s interview time.”

“Yes, fighting”

Lee Seo cheers with his fists clenched.

I smile and wave goodbye and get back on the bike parked outside.

I arrived at a place where I felt happy riding a bike that moved forward quickly.

It was an adult goods store.

The store is decorated in a pink atmosphere from the outside.

This is a place where you can’t help but be more curious, perhaps because the inside is not visible from the outside.

I went inside without hesitation.

“You’re here.”

I was greeted by obscene adult products and a bald man who made me dizzy just by looking at them.

“ Wow, I’m so happy if Woojin works for me. It was already difficult because there was no one to work in the afternoon.”

“Isn’t it usually operated at night?”

“That’s not the case again. Perhaps because it’s near a university, there are kids who come to see the place, and there are also a lot of regulars.”

“Oh. The inside is much larger than it looks from the outside.”

It would be delicious to see.

“Actually, it’s not much different from a convenience store. All the customer has to do is come and pay for the item they selected.”

“I see.”

“Instead, sometimes customers ask about reviews or usage instructions, and in those cases, you must answer sincerely.”

What should I do?

I’m already looking forward to seeing what you’ll ask.

“What do you usually ask?”

When I asked with anticipation, the man grinned.

“Ask all kinds of questions. Last time, some people asked me how to do enemas.”

“Holy sh*t!”

To be honest, I don’t really like that one. Considering that I must have asked while feeling shy, I was surprised…

“The man.”

“Ah, fuck. I will quit.”

I suddenly feel dirty.

Why are you asking that?

“Uh-huh, but there’s no place that pays as well as here, right? Since you are a Woojin student, I will pay you more than the minimum wage.”

“… … great. Instead, please make one thing clear.”

“What?”

“No sexual harassment in the workplace.”

“… … .”

“Answer me.”

“… … Tang, it’s soft.”

Why are you hesitating?

“Fuck, the moment you do something strange to me, I will immediately write ‘gay haunted area’ in front of the store.”

“Just kidding. Just kidding. I also follow the lines. You know.”

Well, that’s true.

If we hadn’t kept the line, our lives would have changed a lot the day we all slept together in my room.

It seemed like he really didn’t have much interest in me.

Anyway, you are the boss now.

I’d like to tell you some good information in hopes of getting some points.

“Go to Chanwoo and do it. Chanwoo’s girlfriend changes often. You can at least have a one night stand with your uncle.”

“… … Don’t you think I’m taking advantage of myself too much sometimes?”

I got caught.
