I Quit My Job and Run a Café - Chapter 29

Episode 29

The aura that had been formed did not spread, but settled on top of the head like a flower bud.

It looked exactly like she was wearing a flower bud headband.

‘What is that?’

It was the first time I saw auras so clumped together and categorized.

Usually, when the condition is resolved, it permeates the cafe like a scent mixed in the wind… … .

What is that?

“president?”

“Oh, yes. Part-time work is not allowed.”

“Huh… … .”

Guest, as Woo Da-yeon weakly lowered her head, the flower buds hanging on her head also bent as if they had died.

That’s why he looks more pitiful.

Is it because I grow a lot of those kinds of things in my garden?

‘Can you see Su-ah too?’

Just in case, I looked at Su-ah’s side too.

A unique bright and clear aura is visible… … .

Wait a minute. When I looked closely, I saw something on Suah’s head that I hadn’t seen before.

It was a very small yellow flower, the same color as the aura.

“Sir? Why? Do you have something on your head?”

“Huh? No. It’s just that the fur on the lanyard seems to have gotten stuck.”

I pretended to fix Su-ah’s hair, making excuses, and touched the flower made of aura.

Ssuk.

Judging from the fact that it just passed right through, it was definitely made of aura.

It must be the same thing on Udayeon’s head.

Flowers and flower buds.

What is the difference between the two?

And what does that mean?

‘The difference between Su-ah’s aura and that person’s aura… … Ah!’

I had a feeling something was going on with the typified aura.

That was talent.

This also tells the difference between the two.

Su-ah’s aura had blossomed and been absorbed by me, while Woo Da-yeon’s aura still remained as a flower bud.

‘If that means talent, and the difference between a flower and a bud is whether the talent blooms or not… … .’

Woo Da-yeon hasn’t developed her talents yet, so she might have a hard time finding a job.

Oh, of course it could be the other way around?

Because it is difficult to find a job, you may not have the opportunity to develop your talents.

anyway.

The important thing is, if it is true that it shows the state of talent by typifying it, I am a little interested.

What would happen if I made that bloom?

If up until now it felt like I was absorbing talent that had already blossomed, this one felt a little different.

And the reason why I suddenly see that is… … .

‘I think it might have something to do with the sudden growth of crops in the garden.’

Perhaps, since both I and the garden have absorbed a lot of aura over the years, perhaps we have grown once again?

It’s like the dog has grown.

“Sir, why are you thinking so?”

“Huh? Oh, it’s nothing. I was just wondering how the flower buds would bloom.”

“Hey, what is that? It’s something that blooms when you water it and expose it to sunlight.”

“yes?”

okay.

That’s how a flower bud blooms.

So that also requires water and sunlight.

‘The Mint Chocolate Set does have a talent manifestation effect.’

It’s not that Hansong’s talent didn’t blossom. It was just that it had already blossomed but was blocked.

Even if you eat the mint chocolate set, it is highly unlikely that you will bloom.

So how can we help this cafe develop its talents?

In fact, if this kind of worry itself wasn’t a tiger shelter, it would be ridiculous…

I have a feeling that it will work here.

“Brother, there’s something outside… … Huh? Oh, you have a guest.”

While I was thinking about it, Suho came in from the backyard.

But he was holding something in his hand.

“that.”

It was a sign that had disappeared some time ago.

It was originally placed in front of the path leading up to the cafe, but it was gone around the time Mr. Park Dae-san arrived.

So, Mr. Park Dae-san also came up the wrong way.

It turned out well, but I wondered where the sign suddenly went… … .

“Why did this come out there?”

“Yes. I brought it here because I felt like it shouldn’t be in the corner of the garden.”

“Really? Thanks. Oh! Come and have some of this.”

Putting aside the question of where the sign was for the time being, he offered Suho a seat.

You came and worked hard in the garden, so I should give you something to eat.

Even though Woo Da-yeon ate a lot, there was still some left for Su-ho.

By the way… … .

‘Suho also has flowers.’

It was also visible on Suho’s head.

It was a little bigger than Su-ah, but I didn’t notice it because it was hidden between my hair.

The blue flower probably contains the talent of guardian.

“thank you for this food.”

“okay.”

As I watched Suho eat, my gaze went to the sign.

It was in a state of disrepair here and there.

‘What on earth happened?’

Did someone pull it out and saw it off?

Why this? Why bother?

Work has piled up… … Huh?

wait for a sec.

People who usually come to tiger shelters are those who need rest.

But Woo Da-yeon, who was still completely dead, was different.

Rather, I was in a state where I couldn’t work. That doesn’t mean I can make my cafe part-time worker work, but there is one thing I can do.

If by any chance that bud of talent is related to woodworking, it would be even more fitting.

“Customer. Have you ever done any carpentry work?”

“… … Yes? Oh, well, I did some short-term work. I did some freelance work here and there. But I’m not that good at it yet, so I wanted to learn more while working… … .”

So that’s why you were looking for a workshop.

I work and learn.

But since that side is an apprenticeship system or something similar where you just share your skills and know-how, they don’t accept people easily.

My grandfather was a carpenter, so he knew better than anyone.

Even though he was the kind of person who wouldn’t hire me, his grandson, as a part-timer.

I really hated it when people got the wrong person and my work got damaged.

This is something that shows that someone who loves people has a lot of craftsmanship.

Most carpenters who run workshops are probably no different.

Another person I know, other than my grandfather, was like that too.

Anyway, the reason I brought this up is… … .

“Oh, it’s not something else, I was wondering if you could make this for me too.”

“What is it?”

The grass was dead, but he raised his head when he heard that I was going to entrust him with the work.

And I looked at the damaged sign.

“Uh, I don’t think I can fix this with my skills.”

“Can you make it the same? It might confuse the guests when they come over.”

“Well, I was a bit hesitant when I came here. Hmm. By any chance, what are the ingredients?”

“It should be in the warehouse. I think there are most of the tools you need, so if possible, please help me.”

Woo Da-yeon hesitated for a moment after hearing what I said.

“omg?!”

When I showed him the inside of the warehouse, his eyes rolled back.

“Oh! How could an oak tree be like this! Aaaah! And a cherry tree! This is awesome! The tools are… … !”

From stacks of lumber to tools hanging on the wall.

To anyone who saw it, it looked like they had entered a treasure trove.

I thought he was a nerd with a different meaning.

“Can I really use this? No, please let me use it! Please!”

“Yes. Instead of writing comfortably, please just make a good sign.”

“yes!”

Woo Da-yeon, who had a languid appearance, has taken off her hoodie and is now full of enthusiasm.

She started working out, showing off her chiseled arms.

“stylish.”

“okay?”

“Yes! I think that girl is really cool.”

Su-ah, who followed me, crouched down next to me and watched Uda-yeon together.

The child’s eyes were precise.

Because it was cool to see Woo Da-yeon concentrating on her work.

And as I was looking at that sight, one person came to mind.

‘Oh! I forgot he was there. This… I guess I should contact him after a long time.’

As I watched the flower buds on Udayeon’s head gradually brighten and open, I thought of him even more.

* * *

Woo Da-yeon had a dream.

Having your own workshop that you built yourself.

He became a master carpenter.

To pursue that dream, I came to Seoul right after graduating from high school, despite my parents’ opposition.

And I worked hard, going around here and there, working part-time, and going to school.

I even went out to a construction site.

I worked part-time in interior design and earned money while learning about the job.

But one day, after receiving my daily wages and leaving work.

Suddenly, I realized that this wasn’t what I had thought. I wanted to learn and work properly in a proper place.

Still, I thought I had laid a good foundation, so I started hitting the workshops here and there around that time.

… … And so far, I’ve only been knocking but haven’t been able to get in.

There were several reasons for this, first of all, they didn’t accept people well.

And even if you do receive it, there are times when it is different from what you expected.

But there were also places I went to with the intention of learning something… … .

‘It’s all drinking, no work, and no teaching.’

So I came out.

Because I can’t waste my time in a place where I have neither money nor learning anything.

But I guess that rumor has spread on this narrow street.

I think it might be because Woo Da-yeon is a woman with an uncommon height and style, so it was easy to identify her.

Anyway, after I went to a few places and came out, there was no place that would accept me.

“Oh, we don’t let people who are just hanging around get away.”

“Look somewhere else!”

I wonder if I made a mistake.

Should I have just endured it and held on in a place like that?

Then, could you tell me something and introduce me to other places?

I regret it a little, but I can’t change what’s already happened. All I can do is try to achieve my dream.

After that, I left the city and started wandering around the countryside.

But this one was more closed.

“Women are not accepted.”

“High school graduate? Where are you from? Oh, there? You can’t go there.”

In the first place, I was rejected for something I couldn’t change…

I found this workshop just when I was starting to get tired.

There isn’t much exact information so I’m not sure if it still exists.

But when I arrived and walked up the pretty path, I felt strangely excited.

And when we arrived at the clearing where the log cabin stood tall, my breath was ragged.

Because it was the workshop of his dreams.

Of course, when I actually went inside, contrary to my expectations, there was no more fighting.

When I heard that the young owner was going to take over and run the cafe, I felt really tired.

I feel like I’ve lost the strength and direction to move forward.

“It’s delicious… … It’s sad because it’s delicious.”

Fortunately, the tomatoes and toast filled my stomach and made me feel a little better.

But it’s true that I’m still disappointed…

at that time!

One request from the young CEO made everything disappear and only one thing filled my head.

Square! Square!

A simple sign that gives a glimpse into the skills, time, and effort that went into it.

I want to make it exactly the same.

I think I was so focused that I wondered if I had ever been this focused in my life.

“Phew─.”

By the time I finished the final touches, my whole body was already soaked in sweat.

As I was catching my breath without even running, the young CEO approached me.

“Thank you for your hard work. Is this any good?”

“Ah!”

A trivial compliment.

And the sign he created himself.

I feel like I’ve only gotten one step closer to my dream with these two things…

Woo Da-yeon almost shed tears at the young CEO’s subsequent words.

“I don’t know what I’m making, but I’m confident when I see it. As you can see, my grandfather is a good carpenter. But, this is really well made. I think you have talent in this area.”

“Really!?”

“Yes. So… … Would you like to visit a workshop I know?”

“Is this a workshop you know?”

“Yes. But, it’s not like I’m going to accept you or anything. You’re not the type of person to listen to me. I’m just letting you know, okay?”

“Where is that! I like it!”

Maybe here we really are one step closer to our dream.

“First, have a drink of this. You’ve worked hard.”

“yes!”

Tomato juice given by the boss.

It was delicious before, but is it an illusion that it feels sweeter and fresher now?

Maybe you will never forget this taste.

* * *

I looked at the back of Woo Da-yeon leaving and at the same time looked into the empty space.

>Talent blossoming

>Woodworking

This time I gained a new ability.

Two of them, too.

And as I gained woodworking talent… … .

>Kim Hana’s dexterity (2)

The level of dexterity talent has risen like a ray of light.
