I Quit My Job and Run a Café - Chapter 251
Only Krnovel
Quitting the Company and Opening a Cafe Episode 251
It was that student.
The student who told me about the grandmother at the seed store and gave me tips about sausages at the mart.
Who knew this relationship would turn out like this.
“Do you two know each other?”
“I don’t know. I saw it in town earlier.”
“Huh? Don’t you know that?”
“Huh? Is that so?”
Suho nodded his head in agreement with what he said.
If you look at the meaning of knowing comprehensively, it was true. I saw that student and talked to him.
Well, that’s not important, so let’s skip it.
“I guess your part-time job is over?”
“There’s still one left, and he brought it.”
“Suho? Why?”
“I don’t know. I know a cafe and I came here because I suddenly suggested we go there.”
Suho brought her so actively?
It was unexpected.
“Really? Come in.”
First of all, I couldn’t keep putting him in front, so I guided him to his seat.
Now that I think about it, Suho has never come here without Sua. The strangely awkward atmosphere seems to be because of that.
Why~
Luckily, Rangi came and rubbed against Suho, making it a little less awkward.
“Hey, Lang-ah, did you have fun?”
Why~
It’s amazing to see Sooho become like a real dog to the world.
That little kitty… … .
“What is this? Why is it clinging to you like this?”
“Oh, this is my cat named Lang.”
“Ah~ You raised it?”
“Yes. These days, I almost always come to this cafe and my brother takes care of me.”
“You are a grateful person.”
“That’s right. If my younger sibling comes earlier than me, he’ll play here and wait for me.”
The expression on the face of the student senior, who was Suho’s senior, seemed to indicate that he was seeing me in a new light.
What? Then what were you looking at before?
“Oh, but I’m sorry, I have to go soon, so can I not order?”
The student guest, who was sitting down with a surprised expression, asked.
That wasn’t really a problem.
I think they’re asking because most cafes have a rule of one menu per person.
I don’t know how long it was, but since I came with Suho as an acquaintance, it didn’t matter if I stayed for a long time without ordering.
I wonder if there are other guests waiting.
‘Are you asking because you work a lot?’
It felt like that somehow.
“Okay. Would you like something to drink?”
“yes?”
“Oh, you don’t have to order anything. I’m just giving this to you because you’re my guardian friend.”
“Oh, oh. It’s okay… … .”
The student guest seemed slightly uncomfortable and tried to refuse.
As expected… … .
“Brother, then please give me the same one as mine.”
“Okay. What do you want to drink?”
Suho quickly chimed in. And I quickly accepted his words.
Because… … .
─Turtle! There’s a mosquito here too?
‘Huh? Muruk?’
─Yeah! But bub bub! I can’t do that.
‘Bubble bubbly? Oh, you can’t sprout? Why?’
─The shell is too hard!
It was because of what Soo-Jung had told me.
It was not difficult to deduce that the words he spoke while pointing at the head of the student guest meant the flower of talent.
But the seed coat that covers the sprout is so hard that the sprout cannot come out… … .
This was another unexpected case, so I couldn’t help but be surprised. That’s why I offered to buy him a drink so I could find out more about it.
“Order slowly. But how did you two meet? Don’t you usually get along well with your school seniors? You don’t even go to cafes that often.”
“Oh, he’s my senior from the baseball club. And he taught me a lot of things.”
I nodded at Suho’s words.
Then we can become friends.
Usually, when you become close with your school seniors or juniors, it is through club activities.
If you think about it, the baseball club was the environment that could do that better than anyone else.
Because we practice and play together.
“Really? Then I guess I’ll have to do better. Oh! I was just about to make a hot dog. Do you want some of that too?”
“Huh? Are you making that because of Su-ah?”
“That’s right. Su-ah asked me to do it during the picnic. Oh, you don’t have to say anything to Su-ah. I lost the bet.”
“ah.”
I quickly struck first, fearing that Su-ah might think I was asking for too much.
Suho also heard the story roughly and didn’t pay much attention to it.
Suho looked at the menu for a moment and then ordered a drink.
“Two persimmon smoothies?”
“Yes. Suah ate it and said it was really delicious.”
“It tastes good. I’ll make it for you right away.”
I came into the kitchen and started making drinks right away.
The hotdog could be made at the same time since the bun was now fully baked and all that was left to do was put the ingredients inside.
I made a smoothie using both persimmons that were in the freezer and persimmons that were at room temperature.
Next, for the hot dog, he took out the golden brown, well-cooked bun and cut open the inside.
The inside of the bread appeared to be slightly denser than that of sliced bread.
You can tell just by looking at it that it’s well made because it has a strong buttery scent.
‘With bread like this, anything you make will be delicious.’
It seemed like it was intentionally made a little sweeter, which made it smell even more delicious.
It’s a good match because the sausage is salty.
Here, I first laid down lettuce from the garden… … and then sprinkled caramelized onions on top, and then topped it with sausages.
Then sprinkle corn on top and sprinkle cheese on top.
I put it in the oven while it was still hot and let the cheese melt.
A hot dog covered in a delicious cheese blanket, topped with various sauces in a zigzag pattern… … and it’s done.
[Hotdog and Persimmon Smoothie Set]
*effect
─Repent and change your ways
I put corn kernels in hot dogs to get a similar effect to what I had previously put in corn cream coffee.
I’m not sure if this will actually help, it seems a bit different than it was back then.
But it is true that there is a seed of talent… … .
The hot dogs were packaged in an easy-to-eat manner and served with a drink.
“Suho. Take this and eat it.”
“Yes, thank you.”
Suho quickly ran over and took it.
It seemed like the senior student didn’t have much time.
Yeah, that’s why I made it quickly.
“thank you for this food!”
The student guest looked this way and spoke loudly.
He nodded with a slight smile. The student guest smiled back and started eating his hot dog right away.
“Eww~ This is delicious. The combination of bread and sausage is crazy? It’s totally sweet and salty. Above all, this hot dog bun is really delicious. Did you make it yourself?”
“Really? You’ll probably make the bread yourself. Where, me too… … .”
For a high school boy, a hot dog was really just a way to kill time.
The two inhaled the hotdogs in silence.
I knew this would happen so I made more.
“Suho. Take some more and eat it.”
“Huh? Then I’m sorry… … .”
“No. I was helped by that student earlier, so I’m grateful, so feel free to eat as much as you want.”
“Did something like that happen? Then I will eat it without hesitation.”
“okay.”
He’s always polite and protective, but he seems to like hot dogs.
You can tell by the way he quickly took it again after rejecting it once. And then inhaled it again.
At that level, aren’t you eating it without chewing at all?
Especially when I look at the senior now, he was bigger than Suho.
So how much faster can we get in?
The hot dog disappeared in my mouth, just like in a food fight.
‘Did I miscalculate this?’
It wasn’t difficult to make.
But I didn’t buy as many sausages as I thought.
No, actually I bought a lot, but I thought they would eat it all.
“Huh? Oh, I think I should go to work.”
“Already?”
“The kid in front of me suddenly got sick and went to work. He asked me to come early and fill in for him. But I’ll double the hourly wage.”
“ah.”
“I had a good meal today. I came here because you said you would listen to my story, but I’m sorry. I’ll buy you a meal later. Tell me then.”
“No. Go quickly.”
“Yes, sir. I enjoyed the food. The hot dog was really delicious!”
The student guest who was talking to Suho looked at his phone and quickly got up.
And he gave me a big greeting and left in a hurry.
I heard the story from Suho.
“The part-time worker ahead of me is sick, so I’m going to go early to fill in for him.”
“Really? How many hours does that guy work a day? He was working at the mart earlier.”
“I guess I’ll do two or three?”
“That’s a lot. Huh? But didn’t you say you were a senior in the baseball club?”
When we first met, it was like that, and now I wonder if it’s possible to play baseball while working part-time like that?
Suho’s face darkened at my words.
Well, I guess there’s a story. Actually, I asked because I thought so.
“He has stopped now.”
“Really? Why?”
“I don’t know the exact circumstances. My senior said that he quit because he had no talent.”
Suho’s words reminded me of what Soojung had said.
The buds of talent haven’t bloomed yet. Is that why?
But in that case, it was really ambiguous. It’s not really a special thing to quit something because you have no talent.
It may sound a little harsh to say this, but it was true.
Among children who dream of becoming baseball players, how many go on to become professional players?
And what about those kids who succeed in that profession?
It goes without saying that if you succeed domestically, you will go abroad.
Special talent was ultimately something that only a few people had. So, even if you were a student and started out great, quitting before becoming a professional was not special to you, but a common occurrence for most people.
But that doesn’t mean that most people have no talent.
There used to be a joke somewhere far away in the world that a farmer who works his fields might actually have god-level talent for soccer.
What we mean by talent is actually looking at a very narrow range of areas.
For a farmer, farming talent is ultimately the most important thing.
Then, a farmer with god-level talent in soccer would be considered talentless in that world.
But can we really say that the farmer has no talent?
That wasn’t the case.
So… … I wanted to say that although Suho’s senior doesn’t have a talent for baseball, he might have other talents.
however…….
“The senior I know is definitely talented.”
“Huh? Really?”
“Yes. The director also caught a lot of that.”
“But why?”
“I don’t know about that either. You quit so suddenly. I thought it was because your family circumstances were not good, but from what I know, I heard you were just average.”
Suho said something unexpected.
The senior said that the student had talent.
It wasn’t just Suho’s thoughts, but even the director thought the same thing… … That was a bit strange.
“Then why? Are you trying to study?”
“Isn’t that guy bad at studying?”
“Oh, really?”
Well, if you were going to study, you wouldn’t be working part-time like that.
So what is it really?
“That friend said earlier that he didn’t have money. Could it be because of his family circumstances?”
“hmm…….”
Suho shook his head as if he didn’t know.
What a peculiar friend. His personality and everything about him were extraordinary.
I wonder if I’ll ever see you again.
“But do you want to play baseball with that guy again?”
“Oh, yes. That guy’s original position was catcher. It was great because he was my partner when I was a pitcher… … .”
“Are you not doing so well with the catcher right now?”
“That’s not it, but I feel more comfortable and more reliant on him. He helped me out a lot when I was going through a slump. So if you’re feeling the same way, I want to help you out too.”
But that guy didn’t seem to be in a slump. That’s why I was more curious, and Suho seemed to be a little troubled because of that.
“There’s a really important competition coming up, and I’m really confident if I play baseball with my brother there.”
“Golden Lion?”
“Yes. Did you hear from Su-ah? The next one is the draft. My brother is currently a senior, so if that happens, he’ll actually get a pro contract right away.”
“okay?”
After hearing Soo-ho’s words, I became even more curious about that friend.
I feel like I’ve heard some pretty difficult questions before going on the picnic.
I heard that there was a test right before the picnic… … .
