I Quit My Job and Run a Café - Chapter 151

Episode 151

Of course, it wasn’t just any snake. It was the Aura snake that had been attached to the man who had left earlier.

‘No, can you bring it like this?’

Since Miho had already asked so clearly, there was no point in asking back whether it wasn’t impossible.

Still, it was still amazing.

By the way… … What should I do with this?

Is this what it would feel like if cats brought back something like a mouse or an earthworm to show their gratitude?

It was a little awkward.

It wasn’t even a snake with a normal aura, but a snake with a dull aura. I didn’t really want to get close to it.

‘But I can’t just throw it away.’

At that difficult moment, I suddenly remembered Sooksooki’s talent for purification.

Coffee grounds also have this effect, but the one from Ssuksukki seems to be more suitable for the current situation.

“Oh, right. There’s nothing to drink. Would you like something to get me?”

“Are you just giving it to me?”

“What are you doing, sir?”

“Our team leader… … You’ve changed a lot. Just give me an iced Americano.”

“Okay.”

After chatting with Bae Jun-seong naturally, he pretended to make a drink and went into the kitchen, then came out into the backyard.

Miho continued to follow me as if asking why I wasn’t accepting her.

Why would you ask something like that?

“Ssuksuk. Can you purify this?”

Sararak~

When Ssuk-Ssuk asked Miho, pointing to the snake Aura was biting, the leaves began to shake.

Then, a cool and refreshing wind blew. The wind passed me and also swept over the snake Miho was biting.

Damn it!!

As soon as Ssuksuk’s aura touched the snake, it began to split. Then, it completely shattered and disappeared.

‘Okay.’

Miho tilted her head as if puzzled by the snake’s sudden disappearance, but fortunately it didn’t seem to care much.

Rather, he seemed curious about Sooksooki’s aura and tried to catch the wind by jumping up and down.

Funny guy.

Anyway, fortunately, the snake problem with Aura seemed to have been resolved… … .

“huh?”

In the place where the snake had disappeared, something similar to what was found last time when the polluted land at Mr. Woo Sung-soo’s ranch was purified was found.

At that time, it was the essence of the land, but this time, there was a difference: it was the ‘essence of karma’.

[The Essence of Karma]

*effect

─Promoting the growth of the owner of the site

Anyway, it was similar.

I didn’t expect something like this to come out, but thinking about it, it wasn’t unexpected since the polluted land had been purified.

“The essence of karma… … .”

Seeing the effects, I knew I had to use it.

I wanted to write it right away, but for some reason I felt like I shouldn’t write it now. There’s also Bae Jun-seong outside…

“Ssuksuk. Can you hold it for a moment?”

Sararak~

As soon as he finished speaking, the essence of karma rose up and was covered by the leaves of the mugwort. This sight was truly amazing.

Anyway, since I was away for too long, I went back inside for now.

And then naturally, I poured some coffee and gave it to Bae Jun-seong.

“I guess there’s coffee outside?”

“No way. I just went out for a bit.”

“Oh. Really?”

“Why? Is there something you want to say?”

“No, well. Right now, I just feel like a team leader.”

What the hell is this?

“I told you, you had such a murderous look in your eyes earlier?”

“What’s so brutal about it?”

“It’s true.”

When I denied Bae Jun-seong’s words, the guy tilted his head and drank his coffee.

And then he exclaimed in admiration.

“Wow! Why is this so delicious? What kind of coffee beans is this? It’s really good.”

“Really? That’s good.”

Since I don’t know Bae Jun-seong’s coffee taste, I just blended beans that had a rich, popular taste.

But I think it hit my taste just right.

I was already grateful for what happened earlier, so this is a relief.

Since the aura doesn’t seem to be in a particularly bad state, I added a moderate amount of effect.

Mild fatigue recovery and mild mental and physical stability.

But seeing that you like it so much, I thought I should just give you a little boost, but well, you can give it to me later.

“So. Why did you really come here? You probably didn’t just come here after hearing it from Manager Kim.”

“Oh, that one? You know the blue camellia?”

“Blue Camellia? Ms. Go Na-eun’s group?”

“yes.”

“I know that, but.”

Why are Go Na-eun and Blue Camellia suddenly appearing here? I don’t know what they’re thinking.

“I am the president of the agency there.”

“……huh?”

“Isn’t that amazing? I was surprised to hear that the team leader and the kids knew each other too.”

“No, really?”

The president of his own agency? How can that be?

When I first heard it from Kim Jung-hyun, I thought he got a job in the entertainment industry.

Actually, isn’t that common sense?

An employee who worked with me quit the company and became the president of an entertainment company?

I knew that I liked celebrities and was a big fan of them, but… … this was something I never even dreamed of.

From what I remember, he’s a bit older than me, but at such a young age, he’s the president of a fairly large entertainment company?

‘I knew you had the ability.’

It was beyond great, it was tremendous.

But there was no reason for Bae Jun-seong to come to me and lie.

Especially if you know what I know about Ko Na-eun.

“Is it true?”

“Have I ever lied?”

“I guess there isn’t any.”

Because there were so few, I sometimes spoke too openly and got into trouble with clients.

It was Nana Kim Jung-hyun who took care of it.

“That’s amazing.”

“I’m happy that the team leader said that, but I’m not really surprised.”

“I was surprised, wasn’t I?”

“… … That’s it?”

Why does it look like it’s not? It’s strange.

But when you say it like that, it seems like that’s the case.

I was surprised, but it was kind of like, ‘Well, what does that have to do with me?’

So I think the reaction came out a bit like that.

Because that’s actually true.

It’s great to congratulate my former colleague for his great success, but it doesn’t really have anything to do with me.

“It’s not that strange, since it’s a typical team leader’s reaction. Anyway, I heard something interesting.”

“A funny story?”

I quietly focused on Bae Jun-seong, who was finally getting to the main point.

Have you heard anything from Go Na-eun?

“I heard that the kids came and went a while ago?”

“Kids? Oh, Blue Camellia. Come to think of it, didn’t you mention Blue Camellia back then?”

“Right. It was a jewel that would have shined brightly, but you were disappointed. Do you remember?”

“You are a successful nerd.”

“Does the team leader know about that too?”

I found out thanks to Suah.

anyway.

“How long ago was that? I came, yes.”

“But I heard that the team leader is running a cafe here?”

“… … So that’s why you came? Is that really all you have? Is there a reason?”

“Aren’t you thinking of me as too materialistic?”

“I’m not a materialistic person, but I don’t think I’m a very emotional person either.”

“As expected, you hit the facts straight.”

Of course, he was a person I was glad to meet.

Anyway, we had a good relationship at work.

A subordinate who does a good job cannot help but be liked by his superior.

However, unlike Kim Jung-hyun, we didn’t really meet in private. We were just friendly at work?

That’s why I was wondering.

Why did you come here?

If it was Kim Jung-hyun, I would have said that he came simply because he was happy to see me.

“Be honest with me. What’s the reason?”

“Oh, this is… … Of all people, that person came and left.”

“Huh? If it’s that person, then that person from before?”

“Yes. Actually, I’m also interested in that girl named Su-ah. I saw her perform.”

“iced coffee…….”

If you’re talking about Sua’s performance, you’re probably talking about the one she did at the Family Month Festival.

Certainly, that was a stage that I also thought was great.

So, it is only natural that the interest of Bae Jun-seong, who is now the president of an entertainment company, means that he is interested in you as an artist.

Then what you just said made perfect sense.

Because that guy was caught doing something bad earlier and got kicked out.

The timing is really bad.

I don’t think he would do that, but I think the flow of things is important.

‘Actually, I don’t think Su-ah will care that much either… … .’

Anyway, I nodded and the guy continued talking.

“I came here to check it out since the team leader happened to be here, but I guess I’ll just have to say I came here for this today.”

“Why? If you’re interested in Su-ah, just tell her.”

He’s just coming over here.

That’s good. If it’s the same agency that Blue Camellia belongs to, then it might actually be a better opportunity for SuA?

Of course, I don’t know what the difference is in company size, but I’m sure Su-ah knows that well anyway.

so.

Ding, ding, ding

“mister!”

I snickered at the sight of Su-ah opening the door and running in.

I didn’t know if there would be an opportunity or not, but I thought I could at least get a seat.

This is to replace the spot that was previously vacant.

* * *

Choi In-hoon was in a bad mood.

Of course, the fact that I came all the way to the countryside and had to return home with absolutely no income.

“Why is it like this again?!”

I was riding safely when my car suddenly broke down, so I called the insurance company, but there was no sign of an ambulance.

‘I guess I’m out of luck.’

Who would have thought I’d see Bae Jun-seong there?

And what the heck is that cafe owner?

Just thinking about the last time I saw your eyes made my hands and feet tremble.

Like a rabbit in front of a tiger.

I felt a sense of dread beyond fear. I don’t know why. It just happened…

‘I thought you were some country bumpkin who runs a country cafe or something, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. And how do you know that Bae Jun-seong?’

If I had known from the beginning that I knew Bae Jun-seong, I wouldn’t have even thought about working with him. If I had, I wouldn’t have had such a hard time.

The weather was getting hotter, the car was sweltering, and the air conditioning wasn’t working, making it the worst possible situation.

Even though I was still, I kept sweating.

Plus, my stomach suddenly started hurting really bad.

“… … At least take a taxi.”

Even if I left the car behind, I somehow felt like I had to go right away. I had a bad feeling.

But here in the countryside, it was nearly impossible to catch a taxi on the street like in the city.

I broke into a cold sweat looking at the empty country road.

This is really dangerous.

It has a different meaning from the cafe owner’s gaze earlier.

“… … Ahem.”

I snuck some tissues out of the car just in case.

I don’t know if I should call it a blessing or a curse, but it seemed like there was a place in the countryside where I could go and do some work in the bushes.

So, we are trying to resolve the emergency situation before the rescue vehicle arrives… … .

“evil!?”

The moment I grabbed the bushes, I suddenly felt a pain in my calf.

It was a burning pain, as if I was being burned by fire.

It disappeared quickly, but I was still very surprised.

I jumped out of the bushes and saw a snake biting my leg and disappearing.

“Eww!”

Whatever it was, I quickly called an ambulance. I had heard about it somewhere, so I quickly wrapped my bitten leg, but I was drenched in cold sweat.

My stomach hurts and my legs are worried.

At that time, when the situation was completely dire, an ambulance was seen in the distance.

Still, I felt a little relieved that the ambulance would come early.

The ambulance arrived.

He was given emergency treatment and put in an ambulance, after being told that it was not a poisonous snake.

Then the phone rang.

When I answered, it turned out to be a police officer.

Why all of a sudden?

At that moment, I got a call from the CEO. I instinctively felt that things were not going well.

If Cheon Yu-jin had seen Choi In-hoon’s current appearance, she would have checked the status through the text window.

[Choi In-Hoon]

*effect

─The shackles of karma

Why is this happening?

* * *

Su-ah was excited when she heard that Bae Jun-seong’s agency, which was not the agency she had originally been considering, was showing interest.

But what was unexpected was Bae Jun-seong’s reaction.

“It’s good to come as a trainee now, but how about trying it out for just the summer vacation period instead of completely?”

“Just summer vacation?”

“okay.”

Bae Jun-seong recommended Su-ah to experience life as a trainee during summer vacation.
