I Quit My Job and Run a Café - Chapter 27



Only Krnovel

Episode 27

Come to think of it, I haven’t really thought about the weekend since I came here.

Anyway, since I have nothing to do at home, I went to work without much thought.

however.

‘Don’t self-employed people work more on weekends anyway?’

Especially places like cafes.

Of course, I didn’t have to do that. It depends on the person’s circumstances.

In the end, nothing really changed on this weekend morning.

Oh, there was something like that.

Normally there should be only one lump, but today there was one more.

“What are you going to do with that?”

“It’s a placard.”

“Placard?”

“yes!”

“Do you want to go to an idol concert?”

It was Suah.

The guy who had brought something from home was sitting in the empty lot.

I thought it might be because he originally liked idols.

“No?”

“Huh? No?”

“Yes! This is a baseball team cheering placard.”

“Baseball club?”

I tilted my head at the sudden mention of a baseball team cheering placard.

Did he like baseball too?

Or who is better in the baseball club?

“Huh? You didn’t know, sir?”

“what?”

“My older brother is in the baseball club.”

“Huh? It’s not judo?”

“What kind of induction?”

“I think you said something about dumpling ears to Suho before.”

“Hey, that’s just called that because it looks like a dumpling.”

Is that so?

Anyway, since it was a baseball club, it suits you well.

Guardian guy, you must have some girl fans too?

By the way… … .

“Why are you making it here?”

“My house has a small yard. This place is clean and spacious! And above all… … .”

“More than anything?”

“You can recharge right away! That’s what a cafe is like.”

but.

Even in the city, I go to cafes a lot to study or work.

“So, shall we do it here?”

“yes!”

That’s why I asked you what you were doing last weekend… … Clever guy.

“What is Suho’s position?”

“Do you like baseball too, sir?”

“I just saw it when I was in the city.”

“Oh… … My brother is both a pitcher and a hitter. And he’s the ace of the baseball team!”

I learned something new.

Because Su-ah talks a lot and is so sociable, there were a lot of things I learned without necessarily having to ask.

But I didn’t know because I sometimes ran into Suho and talked to him after work, but never in such detail.

He’s an ace, and he plays both pitcher and batter.

‘So, Grandpa Bae Hong-seok is sponsoring you?’

It was surprising that such a kid had a baseball club in a rural area like this.

I think that may also be because of Grandfather Bae Hong-seok’s support… … .

“I have to do it before my brother comes home!”

“Huh? Is Suho coming too?”

“Yes! He said he came after finishing his morning practice.”

“Really? Then fighting.”

“Oh! You’re not going to help me!?”

Why me?

I also had something to do, so I came out like this this weekend.

I was going to say that, but I swallowed it because it seemed too childish.

Because when I thought about it, it was a good idea.

“If I help you with that, will you help me with your work too?”

“What are you going to do, sir?”

“It’s not that difficult.”

Just put in some effort.

I swallowed the gossip.

Then, Su-ah, who had been hesitating, readily agreed.

“great!”

Why~

The negotiation was concluded with Rangi’s notarization following Suah’s example.

“First, I’m going to write it like this.”

“The Strongest Baekho? The name of the school is Baekho High School?”

“Yes! Do you know, sir?”

“I was there too. I was only a freshman though.”

Suho was my junior.

Suddenly, an inner intimacy arises.

As expected, I have a strange relationship with these guys.

“Oh? Really? Didn’t you just go to Seoul?”

“I went there a little while ago. But there was a baseball club there.”

The placard with the somewhat childish slogan brought back old memories for a moment.

Even so, I remember studying so hard that I burst into tears just to go to Seoul.

I quickly shook it out of my head and said something while watching Soo-ah do it.

“Isn’t the milky white tiger too stinky?”

“Would Baekok be better?”

“That’s not what I meant. Let’s just go with Baekho Ace Baek Suho.”

“Then it has no impact. You don’t know the basics of placards!”

If it’s something that basic, I think it’s better not to know…

“Give it to me. And the font size should be like this so that the proportions are good.”

“elegance!”

I took the tool from Suah.

And I drew it by hand.

It was partly due to my talent for drawing and dexterity, but more importantly, I was familiar with this type of work.

Because I did it a lot when I was working at the company.

When you build a building, you get to do all sorts of different things.

From stopping by the print shop to making your own placards.

Well, most of the time, experts will take care of it for you… … .

‘I stayed up all night making it with Jeong-Hyeon.’

I never thought it would be used like this… … Thanks to that, even Su-ah, who had been grumbling, was amazed when she saw the placard I made.

It was made so well that it looks like it would be included in official goods, with the talents combined.

At this level, I think I could make a living with this.

Oh, come to think of it, I did eat and live.

“How is it? Are you okay?”

“Wow! Sir, you know how to do this too?”

“As you were doing it?”

While we were at it, we started making various things needed for cheering.

It wasn’t so bad being like this.

My mood also changes.

“Is it okay now?”

“yes!”

“Then let’s do your work now, sir.”

“Have a glass of Minchofu!”

That’s a given.

After tidying up, I went into the cafe and took a short break while having a drink.

“Mister! Play a song! Play a song!”

“sing?”

“Yes! Blue Camellia!”

I also like upbeat work songs.

I played it just the way you wanted.

Seeing Su-ah sitting at the table, drinking a beverage, and tapping her feet to the music, the uncle couldn’t help but smile.

“Then shall we get to work now?”

“Ugh!”

Of course, that’s that and this is this.

When told to go to work, Su-ah suddenly looks tired, as if she has forgotten about her promise earlier.

This guy must have had enough rest already.

Ding, ding, ding

“Huh? It’s oppa! Over here, over here!!”

Just then, reinforcements arrived.

Su-ah jumped when she saw Su-ho open the door and come in.

‘oh…….’

While emitting a very bright and clear aura.

A blue aura, which could be called a mountain breeze, swayed around Suho like an aurora.

And he gave off a cool vibe that made you feel refreshed when you were next to him.

‘That’s amazing.’

Come to think of it, Suho hasn’t been here since I first came here, so this is my first time seeing Aura.

I didn’t know it had that kind of aura.

How can something like that happen?

It’s amazing, but more than anything, I’m glad that both siblings Su-ah and Su-ho have such clear auras.

“Hello. I owe you a lot, Suah.”

“What. I enjoyed the apples last time. There were still a lot left, but they were delicious.”

“Did the village chief give you more?”

Suho greeted me first.

Su-ah was also a very cheerful person.

“They gave it to me in a whole box.”

“The village chief has big hands… … .”

You’ve grown a lot. Hmm.

“Yeah. Oh right! Suho, you said you play baseball?”

“Oh, yes. Suah said it?”

“I heard today. Are we about to enter the high school baseball season?”

“Yes. It’s starting soon.”

Was it my imagination that Soo-ho’s expression seemed a little tense and stiff as he said the word ‘beginning’?

It also seemed like the aura darkened slightly and then brightened again.

what?

Is there any problem?

at that time!

“Oppa, oppa! Look at this? The old man did this.”

“Really? Wow… … Huh?”

Su-ah, who couldn’t stand being left out, showed Su-ho the work she had done earlier.

Then, as if nothing had happened, Suho’s expression changed from admiration to an ambiguous expression.

The reason was guessed.

Even I find the slogan embarrassing.

“Big! Baek Soo-ah. I think it would be okay if you just came to cheer comfortably.”

“Why? This is it! I’m going to hold it and cheer on you? I’m Seungyo. I’m the victory fairy!”

Seeing Suho looking embarrassed and Sua looking confident, I momentarily forgot about the awkward feeling I had earlier.

It’s not like there are no worries just because the aura is so bright and clear.

Just like Su-ah did.

I guess you’re probably both nervous and excited that the season is starting.

But since you’re in good shape, won’t you be able to overcome it?

“Oh, you said that you did this for me, right? Thank you. It’s not like you were bothering us while we were working… .”

“It’s okay. It’s give and take.”

Rather, that placard seems more troublesome.

I think he said it to change the subject, but it was perfect timing for me.

Shall we work together?

* * *

After a while, the garden.

“Eww! This is too much!”

“I didn’t know it would be this bad.”

“lie!”

He looked slightly apologetic at Su-ah’s words.

It wasn’t a lie.

After the rain, I tried to clear the weeds in the garden.

Yesterday, while I was watching Rabbit and Rangi running around, I noticed that weeds were growing here and there.

That’s why I said let’s pick today… … .

This grew more overnight than I expected.

‘I really don’t know how this garden came to be.’

It seems like when you pull out the weeds in front, new weeds grow behind them.

But one encouraging thing is… … .

“Huh? Is this lettuce? There’s also a tomato? What’s that?”

“That’s right. That’s corn.”

“Oh! This looks delicious.”

It’s only just sprouted?

Suho, who was brimming with energy, looked at the crops in the garden with a curious expression.

This guy too… … is not normal.

Sua and I are a little tired, but somehow we don’t seem to be having a hard time.

Is it because it’s a sports club?

anyway.

The encouraging fact was that crops were growing in the garden just as Suho had said.

The tomatoes I saw yesterday have already produced bright red fruit, and other plants have also sprouted or bloomed.

Lettuce, beans, corn, etc.

The barren garden became abundant in one day.

‘Did Rabbit and Rangi play around yesterday and make a difference in the garden?’

How else could things change like this?

The auras of Mr. Park Dae-san and Kim Jeong-hyeon were not absorbed that much.

Or maybe he had been sleeping while absorbing the aura and woke up when it rained.

It was a good thing for me.

[Nutrient-packed tomatoes]

*effect

─Recharge your energy (24)

If you see the effect on ripe tomatoes, it will be the same for other crops.

“Ugh. I can’t do this anymore… … .”

“You’ve done a lot. Now take a rest.”

While looking at the crops, Suah lay down in the garden.

I had a thought while working, but these kids don’t seem like they live in the countryside at all.

If you look at Suho’s garden and things like that, he seems to be curious about it.

Have you ever lived in the city?

It felt like I was seeing something new.

Thanks to that, we never ran out of things to talk about and I think we became closer.

But that’s that.

“Suho, you should get some rest too.”

“Yes? I’m fine.”

You have to rest when you have to rest.

It looks so good it’s scary.

Since it would be difficult for me to rest if Suho didn’t rest, I decided to try to stop him in another way.

‘The tomatoes are just ripe.’

Knock! Knock!

“Huh? Can I have that?”

“Okay. It’s all cooked.”

“oh…….”

I picked some ripe tomatoes.

Looking at Suho’s amazed expression, I realized that he is still a young student.

When I’m with Su-ah, I can’t help but act like an adult, so I seem to have matured a lot…

Oh, of course, I bickered with Su-ah from the first time we met.

Anyway, I feel like we’ve become quite close as we talk about this and that while working, so I feel good…

“Want to try one?”

“Huh? Is that okay?”

“ruler.”

He threw a bright red, ripe tomato to Suho.

And I took a bite too.

Tomatoes that are ripe and delicious, as if they had been polished.

Chuwaap!

Then the juice burst out in my mouth.

And at the same time I feel… … .

‘It’s so refreshing!’

Come to think of it, I’ve never had such freshly picked tomatoes. They were so fresh and tangy.

Should I say that it literally feels like you’re being filled with energy?

Suho took a bite and made a surprised expression.

“Me too! Give me some too!”

“ruler.”

Su-ah, who had been lying down, suddenly got up.

I gave one to him and he ate it right away… … .

“town!?”

But Sua’s reaction was a little different from ours.

“Why? Is it not tasty?”

“It tastes good, but… … it’s not sweet and it’s salty. Eww.”

I wondered why, and it turned out it wasn’t sweet.

Tomatoes are originally refreshing and savory rather than sweet like apples or other fruits.

So you might feel it’s salty… … .

“Just wait a minute.”

I came into the kitchen seeing Sua eating tomatoes with an ambiguous expression.

Then, I cut off the stems of the tomatoes, washed them well, and sliced ​​them into appropriate thicknesses.

It’s good to eat it as is, with its refreshing juice popping out, but there’s a way for Su-ah, who doesn’t like this, to like it.

Sarur─

That’s sugar.

There is no better snack than sprinkling sugar on sliced ​​tomatoes.

“ruler.”

“You didn’t just cut it?”

“Just try it.”

Su-ah eats tomatoes sprinkled with sugar with a suspicious look.

It was only a matter of time before their eyes widened.

“elegance!!”

“Is it sweet?”

“Yes! It’s so sweet and refreshing! Wow!”

I feel proud for no reason seeing Su-ah’s eyes sparkling.

A snack my grandfather often made for me when I was little. Tomatoes sprinkled with sugar are the real deal.

“This is the ultimate flavor. Tomato soup. Here, try it.”

He tilted the plate that contained the tomatoes and poured some into Suah’s mouth.

Then… … .

“Eeeeeeeeeee!! Awesome!”

Su-ah was happy to see both her hands waving, and then she gave a double thumbs-up.

You like it that much.

When I saw Su-ah with the rabbit-like expression I saw yesterday, I couldn’t help but laugh.

Should I say that it feels like the first weekend that’s really like a weekend in a long time?

Dingle~ Dingle~

Of course, until the guests arrive.

“Huh? Who is it… … Ah!”

Come to think of it, I didn’t check the sign when I came up.

I think Mr. Park Dae-san said he didn’t see the sign.

So the sound of the door opening now must mean that a guest has arrived.

I decided to stop what I was doing and go inside.
