I Quit My Job and Run a Café - Chapter 249

Quitting the company and opening a cafe Episode 249
In the morning, I made a concrete plan with Hansong.
First, departure date and time.
We planned to leave early in the morning, have lunch, and return before dinner.
‘Is it because I’m on vacation too?’
Of course I went in the summer.
But that’s because there are a lot of people to take care of and take care of Su-ah. It’s kind of like a parent-child picnic, you know?
It was a little different from now.
This time it felt more like a real picnic.
“What about lunch on the mountain?”
“I have to eat rice. I bet they’ll at least give me rice. They’re even bringing me a gift.”
I was thinking of wrapping the first Chuseok gift.
Because Chuseok was just around the corner after the picnic date.
Of course, even if it wasn’t a gift like this, I think the monks of that temple would be happy to give you a meal.
“If it’s rice cake, it must be vegetables. It must be so delicious!”
“I can’t guarantee the taste. I haven’t tried it myself.”
“Should I bring some sesame oil and gochujang? In fact, just those are enough to make a meal.”
“Not a bad idea.”
It was a good idea.
As Hansong said, if there are no vegetables, you can somehow get rice to solve a meal.
Of course, I wonder if that will happen unless the temple disappears.
“That’s too bad. It would have been nice if we could have gone together, but she hates hiking. Oh, should I ask Seon-ah?”
“Would you like to go together?”
“Yes, I think so.”
As long as it wasn’t minors like Suah or Suho that I had to take care of, it would still feel like a picnic, so I didn’t mind.
“Sua, are you going to Seoul Natural Park?”
“Did you hear that?”
“Yes. It was really exciting. They even showed me the white tiger cub.”
When will that happen again?
He was an amazing guy.
Yesterday, Hansong-i must have been very busy talking with her friends.
“I saw it too.”
“It was really cute. But I also felt a little sorry for it.”
“Huh? Why? Because I’m locked in the zoo?”
“No. That’s not it. They said that people take care of them because their parents don’t take care of them. They discriminate against them because they are white tigers.”
“ah.”
I’ve heard that too.
Since white tigers are easily eliminated in the wild, there are many cases where their mothers give them up.
But it seemed like the same thing happened at the zoo.
“Is this what you call artificial insemination?”
“Yes, I think so. Well, the white tiger cub probably doesn’t know that, so I’m the only one who’s overly immersed. Anyway, that’s how it was.”
“That could be true. After all, he was raised by people other than his parents.”
I nodded to Hansong’s words.
I saw it sometimes on TV programs like Animal Kingdom.
The baby was raised by humans because its mother refused to be raised.
It comes off as really cute, but sometimes I get the feeling that Hansong-i was talking about.
Of course, this is something that can be felt from a human perspective.
‘Just looking at the brownies and bonbons, you can tell they’re no different.’
It felt a bit saltier now.
Because I know things I didn’t know before, unlike before.
When I found out about that, I couldn’t help it.
Maybe that’s why Su-ah is paying more attention.
But seeing that Su-ah is growing up brightly without any of that, that white tiger cub… … I guess he’ll grow up well too.
“Oh right! If we go and Sua goes too, Rangi will be here alone all day?”
“Him? I guess so.”
The silhouette of a raccoon was seen wandering over the roof.
He came early in the morning and was doing that.
Most likely he was watching birds from the roof.
In the morning, birds come to the trees in the vacant lot to rest and then leave.
Although he couldn’t hunt, he liked watching.
But, even though he always seems to play alone, he also follows me around when there is no one around or I go somewhere else.
The reason was unknown.
It’s not like I’m coming here to beat you up.
“I guess I’ll have to ask the village chief.”
“Could Rangi go for a walk too? Like a swan?”
“Huh? Like a swan?”
“Yes. If you put the harness on and put a leash on it, maybe we can take it somewhere else?”
“hmm.”
It wasn’t an impossible story.
Of course, this wasn’t because cats are territorial animals and you never know what kind of unexpected situation might arise in an unfamiliar place.
This was talking about the individual’s tendencies, regardless of the species.
And Langyi said that because it seemed likely.
Above all, Hansong and I are not the owners of Langi, so even if we talked about it like this, it wouldn’t be something that could be realized right away.
“Let’s ask Suah later when she comes.”
“yes!”
And… … before that, I decided to ask the person involved once.
‘It’s Langiya.’
I used my talent to call the rang-i on the roof.
It is written by harmonizing the newly acquired talent of Im Ji-yeon, which is included as a talent in this life, and the communication and target detection acquired before.
Then I felt Rangi turn his head and look at me through the window in the roof.
It was a look in his eyes as if he was asking, “Did you call me?”
‘I called you right. Are you hearing this right now?’
Why~? Wham, ham, ham~
Langi came down from the roof in a hurry, making a noise.
As if to confirm whether what I just said was true, he came in and jumped up on the counter.
“oh?”
Then he sat in front of me and stared at me.
‘hand.’
Huh?
‘Um. Okay. Let’s move on from that.’
I didn’t expect you to give me a hand like a swan.
I asked the guy who was lightly ignoring me what I originally wanted to ask.
‘How about you get out of here? But you have to stick close to me. You also have to know what a swan does.’
Oh, is this explanation too long?
At that time, I was thinking if I could speak a little more concisely.
Whyoooong~!
“huh?”
Rangi suddenly started crying loudly and rubbed her head on my hand.
It was a mess, not just the head but also the buttocks were rubbed.
This clearly meant something good.
But I didn’t know I would like it this much… … .
‘Okay? It’s far from here?’
Why? Why~
It doesn’t matter though.
Have you been bored just staying here?
I didn’t know you’d like it this much.
It was such an unexpected reaction that I was a bit flustered, and Han Song-yi, who didn’t know what was going on, looked at Rangi with an even more flustered expression.
But it wasn’t just Bidan Lang who reacted this way.
─Turju! Where are you going? I’ll go with you!
Kkeew!
Soo-Jung and Mi-Ho also came and said they would go too.
Mihoya wasn’t a big problem, but Soojung was a little troubled.
It’s a bit difficult to carry the bucket all the way there.
‘What if I make it in a smaller size?’
─My strength is weakening! But I still want to go!
‘Is my strength just weakening? Will it be okay when I come back?’
─Yeah!
Well then, there is no problem.
I was already thinking of carrying around a bucket, but I thought something a little smaller, like a key ring, would be easier to carry around.
… … But I was going to do this lightly, but I ended up going with a lot of people.
The only guy I have to be careful of like last time is Rangi.
First, I decided to think about it carefully after getting Su-ah’s permission.
By the way, is that okay if only brownies remain?
Kuru~
‘okay?’
Brownie seemed to like the housekeeper the best.
For now, I’ve organized the number of people, not just the number of people, and made the rest of the plan.
“We’ve come a long way since we were talking about the white tiger cub at the amusement park that Su-ah went to.”
“Huh? Did you come back a lot?”
Of course, Hansong-i didn’t come back much because it ended with Lang-i’s story.
So he looked puzzled at what I said.
“Well, that’s what you’re saying. Then, it would be better to borrow Seon-ah’s car to move, right?”
“I think that would be convenient.”
“… … By the way, when will I get my car?”
“Brother, did you have a car?”
“There is, of course.”
I don’t know if it’s okay now because I haven’t ridden it for so long.
I think the discharge must have been completely finished… … .
“Then should we go to Seoul and come back this time?”
“Huh? Seoul?”
“Yes. I was thinking about going to see my parents while I’m there. If I go before Chuseok, the traffic will be less congested.”
“hmm.”
That’s true.
These days, even though people say they won’t go to their parents’ house for the holidays, there are quite a few who do.
Then, it might be a good idea to come down from the temple and plan a trip to Seoul.
Ding, ding, ding
“What is it? You two? What are you doing that makes you look so affectionate?”
While I was busy planning, the door opened and Kim Ha-na came in.
But his appearance is quite funny.
“zombi?”
“A zombie? That’s harsh.”
It was a bit severe.
But Kim Ha Na’s appearance really looked similar to that. What happened overnight?
Of course, it wasn’t that my aura was bad, it just seemed like a hangover problem.
It seems like he ran yesterday to see a friend he hadn’t seen in a long time, and to console himself from the sadness of parting.
Kim Ha-na, who sat down next to Han Song-yi, tilted her head after looking at the cup.
“What is this?”
“It’s honey water. Do you want some too?”
“Wow. Honey water? Song Song, you’re living a very luxurious life. There’s a cafe right in front of you that serves honey water in the morning. Somehow, you’ve survived on your own, and your skin is still glowing.”
I don’t know if she was still half-asleep or half-drunk, but I gave some honey water to Kim Ha-na who was talking nonsense.
Then he drank it all up in gulps without saying a word.
It seems like he still hasn’t fully woken up from the sleep and alcohol.
“Ugh~. But really, what were you two doing here?”
“Oh, we’re planning to visit a temple before Chuseok.”
“Temple? What temple?”
“My brother said he knows a temple. It’s a temple he restored himself, and I’m planning to go see it this time.”
“Huh? That’s okay. A temple? We should pray that our work will be a big hit anyway.”
“Right? So I guess I’ll go and take a look.”
“That would be great~ I want to go too, but I don’t think I’ll have time.”
As expected, Kim Ha-na said she wanted to go but couldn’t.
But he still said he was jealous.
“Hey, what are you going to do for Chuseok? Are you going home?”
“Me? No. I have to work. Our project is almost over. It’s almost opening day after Chuseok, so I can’t go.”
“Ah. I see.”
“I see! The most important guy in the project!”
“Ugh?!”
Kim Ha-na suddenly expressed her anger by grabbing Han Song-i’s cheek.
I couldn’t help but chuckle because they looked like real high school girls.
By the way, I wonder what will happen when the project those two are working on opens.
I suddenly became curious.
After all, both of them are people who received healing at the tiger shelter.
If the two of them create a good influence, it seems like good energy will return… … I wonder how much of an impact that will have.
‘Anyway, I guess we should come up with a plan around here.’
Thanks to Kim Hana, it seemed like it would be difficult to make any further plans.
I was planning to start sales soon anyway.
“Okay. Ladies and gentlemen, would you like to order a drink? Or please leave.”
Let’s get these two out of the way before that.
* * *
Kim Ha Na was there for a very short time and then quickly went back up.
Strangely enough, the autumn season seemed to pass by faster than I expected.
The weather was like that too.
“It’s getting chilly so quickly.”
In the mornings and evenings, it was cold, to the point where you could feel the chill.
By the time Chuseok passes, fall will almost be over.
“By the way, it’s not on the map.”
There was a slight hitch in my plans to go to the temple.
No matter how much I looked, it wasn’t on the map.
I knew the general location so I could find it, but I was a little worried because it wasn’t on the map.
‘For now… … I have no choice but to go and see.’
Of course, there was still time, so we had to do business for a few more days.
So today I came out to town for a bit.
I wanted to buy some seedlings.
‘Cucumbers and carrots… … Huh? They’re closed?’
After a long time, I stopped by Jongmyo Shrine where my grandmother lives.
But the door was closed.
