Quitting the company and opening a cafe Episode 280

Suddenly, I remembered a scene from a movie I had seen before, where Prince Suyang appeared.

A wolf slowly reveals itself as if it is hunting its prey. And the prey are startled by the sight of the wolf.

In fact, the details were completely opposite, but anyway, Han Song-i, the village chief, and their group approached in a manner reminiscent of that scene.

And among the guests inside, a middle-aged man reacted with surprise.

Just by looking at that, you can quickly see the cause-and-effect relationship.

‘What did I do wrong?’

Based on the conversation we heard earlier, it seems likely that the middle-aged man is one of the children of the grandfather between Han Song-i and the village chief.

That child also coveted the inheritance.

Strangely enough, when I was in the cafe, the customers sometimes treated me, the owner, like an NPC in a game.

I don’t know if they think I can’t hear them or if they are one with the cafe.

Not everyone was like that, but there were people like that often.

Thanks to that, I was able to hear these kinds of stories, so it wasn’t a bad thing. Unless sometimes I had to pretend not to hear them.

“Oh, what happened? What’s wrong?”

“Be quiet! How could Father be here instead of at the hospital… … Back door. Boss! There’s no back door here!?”

They were whispering amongst themselves and then suddenly ran to the counter.

Because it’s the back door… … .

If you go out to the backyard, you can go around the building or go around the back mountain. But why did I have to do it?

“doesn’t exist.”

“What!? Why is there no back door!?”

“Oh, because there isn’t any?”

“profit!”

He seemed very angry, unlike the way he had been sitting there with his head down.

And the moment the lady next to me saw that and was about to open her mouth!

“where!”

Ding, ding, ding

The door opened.

For a moment, the inside of the cafe became quiet.

Amidst the sound of footsteps, I could hear the middle-aged man swallowing his saliva right in my ears.

If you follow the gaze of the old man who is clearly very nervous, you will see a dark-skinned man.

“Tsk.”

He passed the middle-aged man without saying a word, only clicking his tongue once.

Grandpa naturally sat down at the counter.

“Something like this has appeared in this town.”

“It’s changed quite a bit, hasn’t it?”

“You must have had a hard time.”

“Did I do something? Oh, right. This guy… … .”

“You’re Mr. Cheon’s grandson?”

“yes.”

The grandfather looked around the cafe and chatted with the village chief.

There was no word or look at the middle-aged man in it. He was treated as a completely invisible person.

Still, the middle-aged man stood there frozen, unable to leave.

“hello?”

“Haha. I think I know you even though I only saw you for a little while. You look just like your grandfather.”

“Do you know my grandfather?”

“We’re not close. I’ve only seen each other once or twice.”

I nodded to my grandfather’s words.

It’s not like you have to be close to someone to know them.

Hansong’s grandfather lived in this village, so I might have seen him once or twice in passing.

‘It is possible that Grandfather Hansong left after Grandfather settled down here in terms of time.’

I don’t know for sure, but it doesn’t really matter.

“Grandpa, the drinks and desserts here are all delicious.”

“Haha. Is that so? You can tell just by looking at it that you’re talented.”

Hansong-i, whom I hadn’t seen in a long time, introduced the menu and talked about me.

Then, in an instant, the expression in front of my eyes changed completely.

It’s like watching cotton candy soaked in water melt away in an instant.

It looked completely different from when I first came in.

“Brother. Do you have any hot tea?”

“Tea? Yes. Would you like some tea? I have some green tea.”

Hansong’s grandfather looked quite old, so he seemed to be recommending tea.

Since I happened to have some green tea, I told him about it.

By the way, can we just leave those people like that?

“Then I’ll give it to you. Songi, what would you like to drink?”

Still ignoring.

A middle-aged man looked behind Joson as he ordered a drink. Then he quickly lowered his head and walked toward the door.

What is the situation?

“Don’t you even say hello to your father?”

“… … !”

At that moment, the old man spoke to the middle-aged man who was almost at the door without even looking at him.

Although he hadn’t said anything out loud, the middle-aged man stopped and turned his head as if he had done something big wrong.

“Oh, Father. So, what happened here is… … .”

“No. That’s enough. You are no longer my child. You abandoned me, not me.”

“Oh, no, Dad. Really, no. I just… … .”

“Who is your father? Don’t get out of here!”

“… … !”

The middle-aged man remained in a daze, seemingly shocked by his grandfather’s shouting.

But still, seeing his grandfather not looking back, he seemed resigned and walked out the door.

Strangely enough, the uneasy aura gradually disappeared.

It’s not that it’s becoming invisible, it’s that it’s actually disappearing.

The reason is not clear, but… … .

‘Is it because nothing happens, whether it’s greed or karma?’

That was the only reason I could think of right now.

I tried to do something, but it ended before I could even start, so I can only guess that my aura has lost its power.

By the way, what is going on?

The middle-aged man and the accompanying woman also left in a hurry.

“Ahem. Then I’ll go.”

“Okay. Thank you.”

“You come to town often. How nice it is to see your granddaughter.”

“Haha. I should have some shame. When will I ever come back after leaving the village like that?”

“Oh my. Don’t be so shameful. Come anytime.”

The village chief chatted with the grandfather for a while and then left.

Before leaving, I saw Lee Seon-ah and gestured for her to come out too… … .

‘Look at that guy holding up.’

Lee Sun-ah didn’t follow along.

This is probably because he knows that if he follows now, he will be dragged into the field.

Anyway, the interior of the cafe was completely cleaned up.

“Hey, would you like a glass of lemonade?”

“Lemonade? You want something cold?”

“yes.”

“Then should I have green tea lemonade?”

“Huh? Is that okay?”

“Green tea secretly goes well with lemon.”

“Ah~ Then just wait a minute… … That’s it. No, three glasses please.”

“Huh? Three glasses? Ah.”

At the counter, Hansong-i and her grandfather were sitting, and at the window, the two other people who had come with them were sitting.

I don’t know what their relationship was, but it seemed like they were in the same group.

Hansong went to them and asked for a menu, then came back and asked for three glasses.

“Then wait a minute. Please wait a moment.”

After talking to Hansong and her grandfather, she came into the kitchen.

Outside, the sound of Lee Seon-ah and Han Song-i exchanging greetings could be heard. And soon, the sound of the grandfather’s voice mixing in with the sound of them conversing could be heard.

“Who is that person? The uncle I mentioned earlier?”

“Yeah. That’s the person I spoke to on the phone earlier.”

“Those two went to my sister’s house earlier.”

“I heard it from the village chief on my way here. I was planning to come here with my grandfather today, so the timing was perfect.”

“Why did you come?”

“The reason is… … um.”

When Hansong-i hesitated to speak as if she was having a hard time.

“Why? I came here to perform a memorial service for my parents who died.”

“grandfather!”

“Did I say something wrong? Look at what he did as soon as he heard I was in the intensive care unit. Hey.”

“Someone put air in it next to me.”

“The decision is yours. Whether you put air in it or not.”

“Are you really going to cut ties with your uncle?”

Even if I just briefly eavesdropped on the conversation, I could guess the general content.

A family feud over my grandfather’s estate? Well, that’s what it felt like.

But my grandfather is still so upright… … .

‘Oh, that’s not correct.’

They said he was admitted to the intensive care unit.

It is said that something is not as good as it appears.

And as if to prove it, there was something worse.

It was my grandfather’s aura.

Strangely enough, there was one part of my grandfather’s aura that was particularly dull.

What this means is that overall, my grandfather’s aura was clear.

The auras surrounding the entire body were radiating bright light.

But the aura on the chest was particularly dull.

This was the first time something like this had happened.

Usually it was either all dull or all clear.

The reason could be found in the text window.

[Han Deok-hwan]

*situation

─A curse that you brought upon yourself

─Weakness

curse.

It was a similar condition to what I had seen from Kang Na-yoon. But it was so strange that only one part could be tied up like that… … .

It was interesting, but I was also worried about how to solve it.

Since it’s a curse I put on myself, I feel like I should break it so there are no aftereffects.

‘First, a drink.’

I kept my ears open to the counter and thought about the details, while my hands moved busily.

Since I had already made green tea syrup, making the drink didn’t take long.

First, I steeped the leaves in warm green tea water of about 80 degrees. In the meantime, I brought lemons from the field.

After washing them thoroughly, I cut them in half and squeezed out the juice. Then I took out three glasses and filled them with the freshly squeezed lemon juice along with the green tea syrup.

After filling it with ice, pour in carbonated water and mix well to complete the green tea lemonade.

It was a drink that was less sweet than regular lemonade and brought out the flavor of the ingredients.

‘The green tea also brewed well.’

I removed the green tea leaves and placed them in a teapot that had been previously filled with warm water.

And next to it is a teacup.

It wasn’t a traditional tea ceremony. After all, this isn’t a tea house, so it’s not bad to serve something simple like this.

“The drink you ordered is here.”

“Wow! It looks delicious just by looking at it.”

Hansong-i reacted first.

And then Hansong’s grandfather nodded and showed a satisfied expression.

First of all, the visuals pass.

“Uncle! Eat this!”

When Hansong called, one of the two people by the window came and brought her a drink.

But you were my uncle? Then why aren’t you with me?

“Do you still call me uncle?”

“It’s stuck to my mouth. Actually, it’s not that different.”

“Heh heh. It looks better than my own flesh and blood.”

Listening to the conversation between Hansong and her grandfather, it seemed like he wasn’t her real uncle.

It seems to be just a nickname that Hansong calls her.

But I’ve been feeling this way since a while ago, and it’s really strange.

‘Somehow, I feel like a company employee.’

What does Hansong’s grandfather do?

Somehow, I feel like this isn’t an ordinary thing.

Slurp~

“The color is nice too. Did you brew it in advance?”

“Yes. You can eat it right away.”

“Heh heh. It smells good. Then where?”

My grandfather poured green tea from the teapot into a teacup and drank it slowly.

The temperature was adjusted so that it wasn’t too hot, so it was drinkable right away.

Horok.

“Hmm. The fresh and grassy scent is nice. It looks like they used good ingredients. They made the tea leaves properly. Is this what you get as a product?”

“No. The green tea is made from tea leaves picked in the garden.”

“Huh? Tea leaves? Yourself? Huh… … .”

My grandfather looked back and forth between the green tea and me as if he was surprised.

It was a very labor-intensive task to make it myself.

Especially if it’s a cafe.

It would be common to find and use good products.

“This is so delicious! Wow! It’s actually better than just lemonade?”

“Are you okay?”

“Yes! Absolutely. It feels so good!”

I knew that would happen and was going to give it to you.

After her grandfather left, Hansong’s expression wasn’t all that bright.

It seemed like he needed a change of pace.

“Oh, right! I guess I’m late in introducing myself. This is my grandfather.”

“Hello. This is Cheon Yu-jin.”

“Grandpa, this is the owner of the tiger shelter. I saw earlier that you said you knew Eugene’s grandfather. How did that come about?”

Hansong introduced herself naturally, perhaps feeling better after taking a sip of the drink.

That’s good.

Thanks to that, I was able to naturally join in on the exciting conversation that had been going on since earlier.

I don’t know if they are a conglomerate, but it’s a family property issue that feels like that.

I’m curious about the whole story, and I’m also curious about my grandfather’s condition.
