Quitting the Company and Opening a Cafe Episode 253

* * *

The one who was most surprised to hear this news was Suho.

He said that he had already tried everything he could to persuade the director, his friends, his family, and even his homeroom teacher.

He even said what I said.

Well, it was advice that anyone could give. That made it even harder to do.

Anyway, everyone was surprised that the person who had been so unwavering despite all the persuasion suddenly changed his mind overnight.

‘After hearing that, I too am puzzled.’

My advice wasn’t anything special, so why did you suddenly change your mind?

Did you really want to work here that much? Did you really have to go that far?

I don’t know exactly why, but whatever, if it worked out well, then it worked out well, so whatever it was was good.

“Oh, now that I think about it, I did use my talent.”

I tried to persuade him by combining communication, empathy, and communication, just like I did with Langi.

I think that might have had an impact too.

But like I said back then, he’s just a guy who goes his own way, so this decision can’t be completely explained by that alone.

“I don’t know what the hell is going on.”

But I didn’t think much about it because it wasn’t important.

And since I said I would focus on baseball until this tournament so I could go to college, I decided to start working part-time from then on.

It meant that there was no need to see his face right now.

I might go to the competition and get good results, and I might be drafted, but I think I’ll at least go to college, so maybe my part-time job will just fall through.

“Is that better?”

I don’t care if I have a part-time job or not.

Well, is it a bit too much to just hope that they don’t come feeling uncomfortable?

No matter how much I thought about it, he had a personality that reminded me of familiar kids.

Bae Jun-seong, Kim Jeong-hyeon.

These two guys.

“Are those kinds of people attracted to me?”

Hey, that must be a coincidence.

But if we really have to be picky, Kim Jung-hyun and Bae Jun-seong can also be divided into two.

Bae Jun-seong is a bit more my way.

And Kim Jung-hyun is a softly assertive type.

Shim Woo-jin was, of course, the former.

And that one was a bit more of a headache.

The latter was a little better, because he pretended to listen.

… … Wait, come to think of it, Suho and Suah are kind of like that?

“I am a collector.”

The shock of realizing something I didn’t know was a bit big.

When I think about it, Lee Sun-ah and Han Song-yi also fall into this category.

Han Song-i is Kim Jung-hyun, and Lee Sun-ah is Bae Jun-seong.

This made me suddenly think, maybe all people are divided into two.

“That can’t be true.”

Yeah, let’s admit it.

Because it’s certain that there are kids like this gathering around you.

What can I do if I don’t admit it? It’s not like admitting it will make any difference.

There’s nothing I can do.

I decided to do something more important.

That’s right, it was in the backyard.

“It suddenly grew a lot.”

The mosquito has grown big.

Shim Woo-jin didn’t even give off a big aura, so what kind of change caused him to grow like this?

[Mureuk (???)]

*situation

─Growing

Now the stems have grown almost to the waist and bright green leaves are hanging here and there.

I planted them long on one side of the garden to give it the feel of a fence.

It’s not quite there yet because it’s still growing haphazardly, but anyway. Just like when it was Ssuk Ssuk, its growth rate was fast.

Is it because they have names? It seems like the people who give names are a bit special.

Just like a squash.

But I think Muruk will be able to identify Ssuksuk faster than Ssuk.

‘Actually, I can guess.’

Still, I decided to just wait and see just in case it was different from what I was expecting.

By the way, I called Tori and asked him why Muruk grew like this.

Beep~Beep!

“Me? Me?”

beep!

According to Tori, I think I did something.

All I did was give career counseling to one student?

Could it be that it was applied as a good influence?

“You can grow like this even if you don’t have an aura.”

This was a first for me.

You might not have known since it usually comes with an aura?

“That’s amazing.”

I touched the leaves of the mugwort and checked their condition.

It was plump and very nutritious.

Ting!

But did this guy just bounce off a leaf?

I grabbed it with a little force, but it flew out of my hand in an instant.

I’ll try catching it again just in case.

Ting!

“… … Huh?”

If it happens twice, it’s not a coincidence.

As I watched the leaves flutter here and there, I couldn’t help but laugh in disbelief.

Is this perhaps his personality?

I was a bit embarrassed because this kind of thing never happened when I was a kid.

‘I think a troublemaker might have come in.’

I don’t know what it is, though.

Once I told him not to touch me, he stopped bothering me.

Well, now that the confirmation is complete… … .

“Let’s do some work.”

I decided to prepare for sales.

Well, having a part-time job might not be a bad thing.

* * *

Taaang!!

The ball hit by the batter flew in a parabolic arc.

And fell into the stands.

homer.

It was a home run, just as someone shouted.

Even though it was a solo home run, it was okay because the score was already winning.

Shim Woo-jin circled the ground, watching the ball fly by.

And he hit the base and went into the dugout, receiving congratulations from everyone.

“What happened? The person who left because he was quitting is now very passionate.”

“Well, for now, I’ll just try my best at what I’m doing.”

“Yeah, yeah. If you do that, you’ll start to want to do other things too. I’ve even tried being a pro.”

At the coach’s words, Shim Woo-jin shrugged his shoulders and went inside.

To be honest, I wasn’t that motivated.

Just… … like I said before, I just try my best with what I can do.

He said that if you keep doing this and if something you want to do comes up, you can work hard at it.

‘I’m the manager of the tiger shelter… … .’

I honestly thought that the adults who only spoke in fixed terms were boring. They didn’t fit with me.

Why do you speak of their experiences as if they were your own?

But there was something different about that person. Even though he clearly said the same thing, strangely enough, it made sense.

Why would that be?

“Brother, are you really going to work there?”

“I should do it. That’s what I’m planning to do.”

I nodded to Baek Su-ho who came up next to me. And then I figured out a reason that made sense for the thoughts I had just had.

The boss said.

The choices you make now can broaden your options later.

I’d heard this a lot from other people, but it didn’t really hit home for me at the time.

But what the president said was a little different.

What was different was, first of all, the atmosphere.

It was as if he had experienced everything and was calmly expressing his experiences. It was as if the air was squeezing my heart.

Of course, that’s not all. The boss even gave an example.

If you want to work in a cafe, play baseball now to expand your options.

The fact that working in a cafe was included in that range of options was an example of this.

Most other people talked about the distant future.

Athletes, pros, colleges, etc.

If you get into a good place, you can succeed and then you can do what you want.

Everyone was talking about something far-fetched.

How can one be sure that one can be so successful?

What if I get injured while doing it?

Or what if you’re not as talented as you thought?

Actually, I felt this while playing baseball, but my talent was a little better than average.

I could tell just by looking at Baek Su-ho right next to me.

Because I felt like he could go pro right now.

Compared to that, I wasn’t that bad.

Yeah. Anxiety about the future.

It seemed like that was the main culprit that caused this situation.

I’ve heard that there comes a time when everyone has to decide their own path.

College, employment, etc.

An important point in time where you must decide what path you should take in the future.

Everyone says it was different when, but for me it was probably now.

“Are you going to continue playing baseball?”

“Yes? Of course.”

I couldn’t answer right away like that.

therefore…….

“Yeah. You definitely play baseball.”

“What about your brother?”

“I’m going to work part-time at a cafe.”

“Is that true? Why?”

“I told you that’s what you want to do?”

“Are you working part-time at a cafe?”

“uh.”

Baek Su-ho made a puzzled expression.

In fact, I didn’t know the exact reason why I wanted to work at that cafe.

I just wanted to try working there.

Then I think I might be able to figure something out.

To do that… …I plan to play baseball really hard from now on.

and.

“If you work hard at your part-time job, you’ll find an answer.”

“… … If I work hard at baseball, won’t the answer become simpler?”

“That’s when you have a distinct talent like yours. For someone like me who made a living with ordinary talent, the answers were like landmines full of anxiety. Do you know the anxiety of having to step on those landmines without even knowing what my talent is?”

When Baek Su-ho opened his eyes wide and looked at him, Shim Woo-jin felt proud for a moment.

And just as I was about to think, “I think that’s pretty well put.”

“Wow, bro. I don’t understand what you’re talking about. Isn’t that just saying you want to do whatever you want?”

“Hey, what am I talking about with you? Baseball or some idiot. Let’s go throw a ball.”

I think that would be more comfortable with Baek Soo-ho.

But is it an illusion that baseball is strangely going well today?

It’s been a while since I did this, but my body feels light.

“Is it because you got a good rest?”

“What are you talking about? You keep working part-time.”

“Oh. Really? Then why?”

“Why? What don’t you like?”

“No, I like it too much.”

“… … He really is a strange guy.”

“That’s informal speech.”

Shim Woo-jin walked to one side of the dugout while putting Baek Su-ho in a headlock.

And there was someone staring at that sight.

“He’s Baek Soo-ho, and who’s next to him?”

“My name is Shim Woo-jin. I’m a catcher.”

“I don’t think it happened yesterday?”

“He said he was away for a while due to personal reasons.”

“Really? Let’s put him on the list just in case.”

“Sim Woo-jin… … Well, it’s okay, but I’ll leave it for now.”

“As for the other kids… … let’s just watch them a little longer.”

“yes.”

He was a scout.

* * *

I brought a small piece of wood.

It was to make a small gourd to hold the crystals.

After making this, I also had to gift wrap it.

What should I say, I’m not busy, but I should say I’m busy.

“It seems like you’re buying the job? Hmm… … .”

But what can I do? I have to do it.

The wood was worked simply with hand tools.

By carving, you can easily make a small gourd by hollowing out the inside with a curved wheel and trimming the outside with a knife.

Of course, it was easier to finish by unfolding ‘Cheonmu’ and using the talents of analysis and planning in this life to design something optimized for wood.

‘Now that I think about it, I’ve gained more talent in this life. But it’s not organized like the life of a tree or a soil.’

After Manseonggong gained a firm root in Tosaeng, there was no significant growth.

This was a little disappointing.

If the talent of this life is organized like the talent of Mok-saeng, ‘Cheonmu’, it would be better to use it…

“Is that too much to ask?”

It was just a thought because Cheonmu’s usability and writing skills are good.

I finished the woodworking and dusted it off. Then I got it checked by Soo-Jung.

─I love it!

“okay?”

─Yeah, yeah!

Since Soo-Jung is satisfied, that’s it, now it’s time to wrap the gift.

“You’ve dried well.”

The rags used for packing were dry enough to make a pleasant rustling sound.

This time, I can make it properly and not just a sample.

Put it in a wooden box that you made yourself.

On top of that, I added gift pear honey syrup, pomegranate honey syrup, and apple pie and persimmon pie.

Then suddenly, an aura seeped into the gift set!

“huh?”

[Chuseok gift set]

*Set Effect

─Blessing of the gentle moon

It has an effect that wasn’t there before.
