I Quit My Job and Run a Café - Chapter 137



Only Krnovel

Episode 137

It was a celebrity car called Ben. And inside it was someone I had seen before.

Kang Na-yoon.

I remember him as an actor who ate really well back then.

He was also the one who gave him the talent of immersion.

Why is she here?

“Hello, boss~!”

“Yes. It’s been a while.”

“Now the filming of the drama is over!”

“Oh, really? Congratulations.”

“What is that reaction? But you haven’t seen the drama, have you?”

“Huh? Oh, I saw that one before… … .” I decided to watch Goblin Hotel again.

It was fun to watch it again.

Now that I think about it, wasn’t the original author Han Song-i?

As expected, when I looked to the side, Han Song-i was looking at Kang Na-yoon with eyes filled with wonder.

Are the two not close friends?

Well, it might be possible since the original author doesn’t seem to be heavily involved in the drama.

I don’t know the details because I’m not in that industry. What if Su-ah knows?

anyway.

“I stopped by on my way here because I had a short break after finishing my last shoot. Are you leaving for work early?”

“Yes, I usually arrive at work around this time.”

“Aha! Then next time I’ll have to come a little more leisurely.”

It looks like you didn’t come here just to stop by today.

Then, Kang Na-yoon said goodbye and got back in the car and left.

It’s like the wind.

“Wow! This is really amazing! I’m seeing this for the first time! I followed you on Stargram a while ago! I’m seeing you in person.”

“Hmm? I heard that this actor appeared in a drama adapted from the original work of that writer… … If you’re so curious, why don’t you watch it then?”

“Ah, at that time, I just thought that the original was the original and the drama was something separate and had nothing to do with me. I was also thinking about my next project at the time.”

“So you didn’t even go to the scene?”

“Yes. If I go and talk about this and that, it will only cause trouble. Of course, thinking about it now, I think I should have just gone and looked around. But how do you know, sir?”

“I came as a guest once. I even slept at Sua’s place.”

“aha!”

The more I dug into Hansong, the more I realized that she was a really special person. I expected it, but it really was for that reason.

“I think the boss is really unique.”

“yes?”

Me? Not you?

“Usually, you don’t get really surprised when you see celebrities, right? But I think I saw someone I knew just passing by, Mr. President. When was it? Was it a famous idol last time? I think it was the same back then.”

“What is that… … .”

Because he was actually just a person passing by.

I only have a little bit of familiarity with the face.

But when I think about it, I feel like I was a bit too indifferent.

Even if you aren’t particularly interested in celebrities, you should still be surprised and amazed when you see celebrities you’ve only seen on TV.

‘This seems to be an occupational disease that arose from looking at text windows and auras.’

I got used to figuring out that person’s aura first.

I wonder how long it’s been since I started developing an occupational disease, but I understand because Tiger Sanctuary is a place where it’s worth it.

Just this morning I was suffering from the aftereffects of immersion.

Oh, it came to mind again.

I had a dream about re-enlisting.

“I am very surprised inside.”

“Hmm?”

Hansong tilted her head, but it was really time to go to work. And it was time for Hansong to get some sleep.

“Oh, right! They said they’ll send me the final draft today.”

“is it so?”

I should check it out right away.

That’s how I was able to move on after parting ways with the morning walk members and Hansong-i for the last time.

‘Oh no! If it’s Kang Na-yoon who gave me talent, wouldn’t she know how to reduce the aftereffects of immersion?’

That thought suddenly occurred to me, but I had to go to work first.

Ding, ding, ding

Business starts again today.

* * *

Meanwhile, Kang Na-yoon, who was saying hello to Cheon Yu-jin and getting back in the car, felt something strange.

A strange, ticklish feeling.

Did I forget something? It’s not like that… … .

“What is it? What could it be? Oppa? Did we forget something?”

“Have you forgotten? Is that your state of mind?”

“That didn’t exist originally. It’s not like you’ve forgotten something that doesn’t exist.”

“It’s a boast.”

“Anyway. Other than that.”

What else is there?

The manager was a little nervous, not knowing what Kang Na-yoon was going to say next.

Especially since I just met the owner of the cafe who was the main factor in the last shooting set escape incident.

“Let’s go quietly. The only schedule we have today is a drama dinner, so let’s do that and rest a bit.”

“Huh? Then I can eat as much as I want?”

“That won’t do. Aren’t you going to include new works? I have to review the works too… … .”

“You said you don’t have a schedule?”

At those words, the manager remained silent.

There was no good to come from nitpicking.

however.

“Wait, I can’t remember right now. What is it? What was it… … Ah! Yes, the work. Reviewing the work.”

“Why is that? Do you have something in mind?”

“Yes!”

Kang Na-yoon wasn’t thinking about eating and resting first, but rather thinking about reviewing her work!!

The manager checked for a moment to see if the sun had risen in the west, then asked again.

“What is it?”

“There is that. The Goblin Hotel.”

“Goblin Hotel? When was that written… … .”

“So. By now, hasn’t the author chosen a new work? Didn’t he announce before that he was going to write a new work?”

“It’s not an announcement, but it was a little teased. But nothing has come out yet? And even if the webtoon comes out, will it be made into a drama right away?”

Well then, that’s right.

The manager shook his head at Kang Na-yoon’s words.

“Oh, one more thing. That screenwriter doesn’t work here these days, right?”

“Huh? Why?”

“Well, I don’t know the details either.”

“Really? That’s too bad.”

“But why all of a sudden?”

“Oh! That’s right. Does the original author, by any chance, live here?”

The manager asked, but Kang Na-yoon immediately started saying something else as if she didn’t hear him.

Yeah, what could I possibly wish for?

The manager, who was momentarily shaken by the sight, sighed deeply and continued speaking.

“What are you talking about?”

“No, I sent a friend request to the original author on Stargram a while ago, right? A fan? But sometimes, the backgrounds of the photos we take look familiar, right? Especially! Photos taken at a cafe or something. Yeah, that one! Oppa, stop!!”

“Huh? Huh? Why!? What’s going on?”

“Let’s turn the car around!”

The manager grabbed his forehead at Kang Na-yoon’s shout.

I thought it was strange, and now it’s another sudden action.

“No. This time, really not.”

“Why!? I’ll just check on one person. Okay? There’s still plenty of time until the dinner.”

“You, don’t you see Doyoon?”

“Huh? Oh, right.”

Kang Na-yoon, who had been running wild, sat down quietly for the first time at the manager’s words.

It wasn’t that I had forgotten. It was just a moment of excitement.

Kang Do-yoon was Kang Na-yoon’s younger brother and fellow actor. And his condition is not so good right now.

That’s why I had a leisurely schedule today. I wanted to stop by and see my younger sibling for a bit.

Kang Na-yoon, who remembered that, quickly gave up her stubbornness.

“Today… … I can’t help it. Next time, I’ll have to come with Do-yoon.”

“what?”

“I told you so. It’s a place that feels really mysterious. I think Doyoon would like to go there too.”

“There are plenty of cafes nearby, so why come all the way here? Do-yoon would want to come here?”

“I’ll have to try to convince him. By the way, I wonder how that kid is doing~ Huh? Just a moment.”

Kang Na-yoon shrugged her shoulders in response to her manager’s words, then looked at something on her phone and made a surprised expression.

* * *

These days, when I wake up in the morning, I drink a cup of coffee.

I made an excuse that I was going to study the taste and think about how to spend my day… … but in reality, I was just going to rest.

Lately, people have been coming over so often that I haven’t had as much free time as I used to.

Of course, it wasn’t that I didn’t like it.

In fact, there were some good points to the current break, which made it even sweeter.

“Hmm. This one smells like berries.”

I opened my recipe book while drinking coffee made with slightly different blends of beans.

And I wrote down the mixing ratio and also recorded the taste.

Since I was drinking it purely for its effects, there was nothing else to write about.

I wrote it down so quickly and turned my gaze away.

When I lift the cup of coffee, the ice inside shakes and makes a refreshing sound.

As I tilted it to drink, light filtered through the ice in the coffee, giving it a mysterious glow.

Gulp! Gulp!

The refreshing coffee made my spine feel cool.

It certainly seems like a hot day.

Even without saying anything, I can see that this kind of cold drink is appealing.

Suddenly, I remembered what Su-ah had said earlier.

That saying about wanting to go play in the cool waters of the valley and then eat some cool watermelon soaked in the valley water.

That season has certainly come.

“Will it be hot when I go out?”

The weather was getting warmer quickly, and it seemed like soon we would see haze on the ground.

The good news, though, was that here we could avoid one of the summer’s woes.

Originally, one of the hardest things about spending summers in the countryside was the bug problem.

However, such bugs were not easily seen around the tiger shelter.

At best, there are only bees that have been busy buzzing around since morning.

Thanks to that, it was very comfortable.

“I can hear cicadas.”

Although it couldn’t block out the sound of cicadas far away in the mountains, the pest-repelling effect of the mugwort seemed to have become even stronger.

‘Hmm. I guess I’ll just get up.’

Thinking about Ssuksuk, I feel like it’s time to get up and go to the garden.

Bugs are easy to chase away, but weeds are a bit harder.

As I emptied the cold coffee in one gulp, my head started to throbbing.

I stayed still for a moment and then moved when the stinging sensation subsided.

Why~

“You have a good fate.”

At the counter, Langi was lying sprawled out on the floor, not knowing when he’d arrived.

I felt envious for a moment of his good fortune as I stroked his belly.

And then.

“Okay. Play with this.”

I took a large piece of ice out of the ice bucket and gave it to him. He licked it a few times and then started rolling the ice around to play soccer.

Since I had to clean the floor anyway, I just left it there and went out to the backyard.

beep!

“Okay. Bye.”

I also said hello to Sa-sa, who came to work early. I checked to see if anything had happened in the garden last night… … .

A red shard appeared in the green field.

What is that?

Why is there something like that in the garden…?

“uh?”

Fortunately, it wasn’t any animal.

It was a watermelon.

Ripe watermelons were broken and scattered in the garden.

Now that the watermelon has fully ripened, I am happily running to check, but at that moment!

“What? Who ate it?”

It wasn’t so ripe that it broke, but something forced open the watermelon and ate its insides.

It doesn’t seem like something a person would do, so the first suspect would be…

beep?

“No.”

Suspect 1. Tori’s mouth corners are white.

The reason for the exclusion was that Tori, who would dye his fur around his mouth and on his front paws whenever he ate colored fruit,

Then who is it?

Rangi doesn’t eat fruit?

Is that a swan by any chance?

If it was a swan that came for a walk or to play sometimes, there was a possibility.

I just sent a text to Lee Seon-ah.

─Not a swan. Evidence photos 1 and 2.

In the photo sent by Lee Seon-ah, the swan just sat there.

And then he became a happy dog ​​and rolled around somewhere, covered in dirt. It even seemed to be real time, but I don’t know where.

Then, swans are excluded… … .

“Toriya, are there any wild animals wandering around here?”

This couldn’t have been anything other than a wild animal.

So I asked Tori just in case.

Beep… … .

But it seemed like he didn’t know.

Then what about the Ssuksuks and Auras that are still here?

“Have you seen it? It’s the guy who makes watermelons like that.”

Sararak~

Shararang~

Aura and Sooksooki seemed to know something.

But it was a little strange, because the reactions seemed like they were afraid to speak.

You’re scared… … .

“Did a wild animal come down? What kind of guy is it?”

I can tolerate other things, but I can’t tolerate the way you’ve treated my garden. And you’re destroying one of the few watermelons that were just ripe and red?

“Tell me. I’ll punish you.”

I tried to find out the culprit by patting Sooksooki and Aura.

Well, isn’t there a way to find out? If it’s a guest, I’d probably use immersion or something like that, but using immersion on Aura or Ssuk-Ssuk is kind of ambiguous.

Finding a partner… … finding, finding?

“Ah! Target detected!”

I finally found the right talent.

This will help us find the culprit.

Well then first of all… … .

‘Let’s move the remaining watermelon and look for it.’

Just in case, I moved the precious watermelon first. Then I contacted the village chief.

I don’t know who he is, but he’ll let you taste the village chief’s muscles.

While waiting for that contact, I immediately used target detection.
