I Quit My Job and Run a Café - Chapter 133



Only Krnovel

Episode 133

This is a first for me with tools like this.

‘That’s right, I’ve never used a tool I made with my own hands.’

I used things that my grandfather either made himself or bought in advance.

As I’ve felt before, there’s almost nothing that isn’t there at the tiger shelter.

It was the same when he was originally a carpenter. It was natural, considering my grandfather’s tendency to pursue full ownership of equipment.

So I’ve been using it very comfortably… … .

When I used the equipment I made, a completely different phenomenon occurred.

Oh, and of course I also made the table and chairs in the shade shelter under the tree.

At the time, I thought it was the effect of the new shelter being created… … .

‘Isn’t that necessarily the case?’

It seems I was mistaken.

If you look at this.

[Homemade Stand-alone Coffee Bean Grinder]

*producer

─Unconfirmed

─Reprocessing: Cheon Yu-jin

*effect

─Amplification and Reinforcement

It also worked on items I reprocessed myself.

The resonance I felt earlier was because of this effect. The aura was amplified and strengthened.

‘Well, I guess I should try to write in a more diverse way.’

Of course, I had no intention of using these abilities for anything else. I thought it would be a good idea to look for more things that would be useful in a cafe, like a coffee bean grinder.

We can’t just let these hidden talents rot away.

“Let’s do them one by one like we are doing now.”

There was no rush.

There is a time of 10 years, and maybe even more.

First, I made a Mint Chocolate Frappuccino to give to Suah.

“Are you done?”

“Yes! It’s fun! So, are you going to make coffee with this?”

“That’s what it is.”

“Oh! Awesome! Then can I get off right now?”

“Why? Want to try it?”

“yes!”

“no.”

“why?!”

“If it’s bigger, drink it.”

Because some of the ingredients in caffeine and coffee can interfere with growth and development.

Well, actually, since the coffee beans from Ssuksukki have many more beneficial effects, I think it would be okay to drink them, but I don’t think you necessarily need to eat them in advance.

Drinks like the Mint Chocolate Frappuccino you’re drinking right now have a similar effect.

so.

“If you want to be an idol, you have to be tall.”

“Oh! I’m one of the tallest people in my class?!”

“I think it still has a lot of growing to do?”

“Wow! You’re the big one, not me!”

I couldn’t help but chuckle at the sight of Su-ah jumping up and down and stamping her feet.

Why does it feel like teasing Soo-ah like this is healing?

Carving and crafting wood was a nice break, but this seemed like another kind of break. Of course, I had to do it in moderation before I got sick of it.

“Oh, by the way, have you ever seen a policeman when your grandfather was here?”

“Oh! Those guys! Are you the guys who kept saying mint is toothpaste!?”

“Right. I see.”

“Those guys were here?”

“Oh. He came and left this afternoon.”

Luckily, I changed the subject before it got worse. And of course, the little girl the police officer was talking about was Su-ah.

“They are the old men who patrol our village. So they would sometimes stop by here when my grandfather was there. They always teased me for eating toothpaste.”

“Gentlemen? Oh, you weren’t a rookie police officer back then?”

“Huh? You’re new?”

“I saw you today with a new police officer next to you?”

“Oh! Really? There were originally two uncles. Then which one is it?”

I guess a new employee came in and my partner changed.

“What did they look like? One of them looked like an old man, and the other one looked like a village chief.”

“Huh? Me? The village chief?”

What? The person who came today doesn’t look like me.

But that doesn’t mean he resembled the village chief.

“What about me?”

“Um… … It’s the same as before!”

“… … What is that?”

“It looks like he’s really strong. Look at this. This is the original strength, and this is Yuri’s mentality.”

“Isn’t it the opposite? This person is more decorated, and that person is soft-spoken?”

“No!”

When I looked at the picture that Su-ah showed me, it seemed like she was saying the opposite, so I asked her about it, and she firmly denied it.

Why is it that a soft-looking person is considered strong-willed?

“Think about it carefully. People like this, people like you, are the kind of people who just say “what the heck~” and let it slide no matter what anyone says, right?”

“Well, that’s pretty much it.”

“But what can I do if people who dress up like this say something?”

“… …Run in?”

“Correct! Then if we express this as a puppy, it would be like this!”

“ah.”

As soon as I saw the puppy, I understood.

One is a large dog that laughs.

The other one was a Chihuahua with an expression that was clearly fierce.

I got the feeling right away.

In that case, the police officer that Su-ah is talking about is… … .

“You seem like a very strong person.”

“Oh! Is that the old man? Hehe!”

“Huh? Why do you like it?”

“That old man sometimes buys me drinks.”

I was wondering why you asked who was there, and was that why?

I can’t stand being teased with mint, but I guess someone who buys me food is a good person.

Anyway, he’s a cute guy.

“Oh, really? Anyway, I came with a new cop, and he was drinking a Mint Chocolate Frappuccino too?”

“Oh! This is delicious!”

Kids these days are so good at abbreviating words. It’s the first time I’ve heard it, but I think I know what it means.

And so the chat with Su-ah continued, with snickers leaking out.

It was actually the most fun time of the day.

* * *

The next day.

Yesterday ended with Suah’s chat.

And as promised, I left early in the morning and started walking towards Hansong’s house.

“Boss~!”

“Huh? You’re out already?”

Han Song-i and Kim Ha-na were already walking towards us.

Did you go to bed early instead of staying up all night playing?

Both feel very vivid.

His face was slightly swollen, as if he had just woken up from a deep sleep.

“I hope you slept well?”

“Hmm. Did you sleep well? I slept really well, but I only slept for a few hours.”

“is it so?”

“Is it because I sleep and drink coffee during the day? Ugh… … But why do I want to drink again?”

Kim Ha-na said, smacking her lips.

That sight made me feel proud again for no reason.

“Aren’t you upset?”

“Yes. Are you okay? How about you, Song Song?”

They say that even a single flower is fine on the inside.

Drinking too much coffee can usually cause stomach upset, but Sooksooki’s coffee beans didn’t seem to cause that either.

That’s fortunate.

“Then shall we walk?”

We walked together towards the cafe.

It’s a new experience to have a neighborhood friend who I can go for a morning walk with.

‘If it was a city, I would have pretended not to know anyone and just wandered around alone.’

That’s convenient, you know.

I used to feel uncomfortable with small talk where we just asked each other how we were doing, but that wasn’t the case here.

“I heard that you two were working together on something last time. How is that going?”

“Oh~ You’re really delicate. You even remember all that. I think the preparations are almost finished. It seems like it would be perfect if Song Songi serialized a webtoon?”

“Ah! So, are you going to start serializing your webtoon soon?”

Song-i nodded at Kim Ha-na’s words.

But what’s strange is that when I’m with her, Han Song-i usually does most of the talking, but now it’s Kim Ha-na who does most of the talking.

‘That’s just the way he was originally.’

That was the first image. So I thought it would be different after coming here, but it seems that wasn’t the case.

I guess it changes depending on who you’re with.

It didn’t seem like she was uncomfortable or anything. Rather, Han Song-yi looked comfortable as she watched Kim Ha-na speak earnestly.

Well, then it didn’t seem like there would be a big problem.

‘What’s the problem? It’s like a younger sibling who sticks next to their dependable older sister.’

It was an enviable sight.

I felt that way even more thanks to my conversation with Bae Jun-ho yesterday.

Blood brothers or sisters, siblings… … .

“Oh my! The final version of the logo is out.”

“Huh? Already?”

“Of course! … … There will be the final version.”

“Hmm. Maybe there’s a final version?”

“Surely it won’t make it to the final version?”

“Hey, no way. I really did see the final version.”

“Oh~ Still! I’m relieved that you haven’t seen the final version.”

I was the first to pick at Kim Ha-na’s words and laughed.

Even though the industry is different, is it because the design needs to be reviewed by the client and revised again?

But Hansong-i just tilted her head as if she couldn’t empathize. Don’t webtoons usually make corrections like this?

“Don’t look at me like that. He’s just a genius. There’s no such thing.”

“ah.”

“Should I say that he is the type of person who makes things perfect from the beginning so that he doesn’t create any loopholes like that?”

Oh, I see. I’m jealous.

He tilted his head with an innocent expression, but as expected, he was no ordinary person.

“No~ I’m editing it too?”

“No. Why? Are you going to say that you’re doing it all in your head again?”

“That’s true.”

“Yes, yes. I guess so. We usually call that genius?”

Listening to Kim Ha-na’s counterattack to Han Song-yi’s protest, I can understand their personalities.

Kim Ha-na is the type who tries everything first. And Han Song-i is the type who plans everything out perfectly in her head and then blurts it out.

‘So that’s what they looked like when they first came to the tiger shelter.’

Kim Ha Na wants to do it but can’t.

Hansongi is concerned about things not being perfectly woven.

I realized that each personality type experiences pain in slightly different ways.

This content might be of some help to future guests.

‘If I had to be picky, I’d say I’m on Kim Hana’s side.’

And I was able to learn a little bit about myself too.

After quitting my job, I was able to do things I couldn’t do while working, and my life has changed.

“Huh? They’re all here already.”

As we walked and chatted like that, we soon arrived at the bridge connecting the village and the cafe.

however.

Wow!

“Huh? A swan?”

A swan suddenly came running from somewhere.

Of course, Lee Seon-ah was holding the leash.

Looks like he’s taking a morning walk too.

‘Come to think of it, what kind of personality does he have?’

I don’t know about that, but I know you’re really upset right now.

It feels like the soul of the swan has been sucked out while walking… … At this point, isn’t the swan taking Lee Seon-ah for a walk?

“Want to have a cup of coffee before you go?”

“……huh.”

In the end, Lee Sun-ah also decided to go.

Fortunately, Baekgu was surrounded by Hansong-i and Kim Ha-na and was loved by them.

With so many members, we head to the cafe… … .

“Hey! What are you all doing here? Except me!”

Su-ah came running, probably to go to school.

It didn’t end there though.

“Boss. I think there’s someone over there.”

“huh?”

When I heard that there was a person on the path leading up to the cafe, I took a closer look and it really was like that.

Our cafe isn’t ready to open… … Ah!

I wondered who it was, and it turned out to be Sia’s father, Jeong Seong-hun. He must have stopped by a cafe nearby after work to buy some bread and something to drink for Sia.

Of course I welcome it… … .

“Oh? It’s the old man. It’s the old man~!”

As soon as Su-ah found out that Jeong Seong-hun knew her, she ran to him so happily that anyone who saw her would think she was his daughter.

I have a strange feeling today.

So, for the first time, I opened the cafe’s doors in the middle of a crowded morning.

It was only after those who had come in the morning had left that I realized that this was only the beginning of the day.

Ding, ding, ding

Today, the door opened brightly and forcefully. And how many times… … .
