I Quit My Job and Run a Café - Chapter 65



Only Krnovel

Episode 65

How long has it been since Lee Sun-ah left?

As it was almost time to close, an aura suddenly enveloped the cafe.

It was a similar situation to after Jo Dong-woo left.

The only difference is the time it takes.

‘I guess it worked out well.’

From the beginning, they had a relationship of affection for each other.

Just like there was a time when my grandfather and I were in a cold war.

I guess everyone lives like that.

I lived like this, I lived like that. I laughed, I cried, I fought, I cheered… … .

That’s how we live, relying on each other. That’s what a family is.

The feeling of loneliness is relieved by the fact that I am not alone, and the support of my family gives me confidence.

In the end, what Lee Sun-ah needed was a family.

Of course, the family was always there for me. I just realized it now.

Sararak~

Now that the thread has been unraveled, we can start piecing it back together again.

I’m a little… … jealous. That you have a family like that.

‘Hmm… … You were deep in thought.’

While I was thinking about something else, the aura that had enveloped the cafe soon seeped into most of it.

And only some of them fluttered above it.

Then it started to fly towards me.

Gently swaying~

The remaining threads stayed there as if dancing.

After looking at the sight for a while, I now naturally reached out towards those auras.

Sarak!

Then the threads became entangled.

The small loops of thread fit around my wrist and soon shrink to fit it.

Finally, the auras that had seeped in and flown from Lee Seon-ah were no longer visible.

‘I’ve seen it several times, but it’s not easy to get used to it.’

I looked at my wrist where the aura had lingered and seeped into me.

It felt as if Aura’s warm warmth still lingered. As if she was patting me on the back for doing well this time too.

Sigh.

I felt the warmth of his wrist once and a smile came to my face.

It’s been a long time since I’ve heard such praise.

‘Okay. Then shall we check it out?’

This compliment didn’t just pass by. It was rewarded.

It’s the same this time too.

>Lee Seon-ah’s communication

“Oh? That’s unexpected.”

Communication is a talent.

Ah! You said you do personal broadcasting, right? Then you definitely might have talent in this area.

I’ve heard that personal broadcasts are usually focused on communication. I haven’t watched it though.

‘Should we meet again later?’

The channel knows.

Because the village chief bragged about it a lot when he came before and told me about it. I even subscribed.

What I said to Lee Seon-ah wasn’t a lie.

Tiring!

“Huh? Alarm?”

I turned on the app to go into the channel while I was thinking about it, and suddenly an alarm went off.

It turned out that Lee Sun-ah’s channel was doing a live broadcast.

What the heck is this guy?

[Sigorbjabjong walk]

It was a broadcast with a simple title.

After thinking about it for a while, I decided to give it a try.

─It’s really rural. I don’t know the location. I’m going to live here for the time being. I can’t play games.

A slightly familiar scene with the appearance of a swan. And Lee Seon-ah’s voice came on the broadcast.

But this guy… … .

‘Is communication really a talent?’

Somehow, it seemed like it was a talent that wasn’t easy for me.

Why~!

“Huh? Oh. Since you did something today, I should give you a Churu reward. Just a moment.”

I turned off Lee Seon-ah’s broadcast because I lacked the anti-hormonal power. And I gave a Churu Ilbong to Rangi, who did a great job today.

He’s a bum every day, but he does his part at times like this.

I petted Rangi, who was eating Churu and grooming himself with satisfaction.

It is the optimal warmth and texture for healing.

It’s already been several months since I’ve spent time with this guy. Time really flies.

at that time!

Zing! Zing!

“Huh? Ms. Hansong?”

I got a call from Hansong.

I tried something and received it,

─Excuse me, that recipe book. The previous owner suddenly contacted me earlier… … .

The story came up about the owner of the recipe book I brought yesterday.

* * *

To summarize what Hansong said, it meant that the recipe book didn’t have to be returned. And that you could freely use the recipes inside.

Then why did you call?

According to what Hansong told me, he contacted me because he wanted to apologize.

The reason is… … .

‘I copied my grandfather’s cafe… … .’

From the moment I entered that house, I had a strangely similar feeling.

If that’s because they copied their grandfather’s cafe, then it’s easy to understand.

But why do you insist on apologizing now?

“What did your grandfather say?”

No way.

He didn’t leave any specific comments like that.

Well, I guess that’s not all there is to it.

But given my grandfather’s personality, it’s likely he wouldn’t have cared much even if I had asked him to do this. There are two similar cafes in the same town.

It could be competitive, but he wasn’t the type of person to care about that in the first place.

Aren’t you the one who clicked your tongue when you saw me obsessed with performance and engaging in a bloody bidding war with my competitors?

Why are you living so desperately?

“I think he thought, ‘Those who are going to go there will go there, and those who are going to come here will come here.’”

He was truly a free spirited person.

Of course, that’s my grandfather, and my circumstances are a bit different.

“hmm.”

I didn’t really intend to see it.

This made me even more curious.

Since I had permission, I took the recipe book out of the closet and opened it up.

The recipe book, which was heavily worn, also had many traces left inside.

“hmm.”

To be honest, it was a lot messier compared to my grandfather’s recipe book.

Traces of erasure still remained here and there.

If I had to be specific, my grandfather’s recipe book was a well-organized, already-completed recipe book, whereas this one felt like an unfinished recipe book that was constantly being revised.

‘It seems like they actually kept revising and supplementing it.’

Otherwise, this situation could not have occurred.

Well, it seems like you’ve studied the recipe quite diligently.

“It’s a little different from Grandpa’s.”

Of course, there was some overlap.

Since they are in the same industry, it is inevitable that there will be overlap.

Even when it comes to coffee, things like Americano and Latte were bound to be similar.

But apart from that, there was nothing the same.

Rather, this feels more original.

“I don’t know what you’re apologizing for.”

Why, when you’ve done so much research yourself?

widely!

First, I closed the recipe book again.

Some of them were usable right away, and some of them were interesting.

But the owner of this item said he would come.

We can meet and decide.

The recipe book was put aside.

“mister!”

That’s because Su-ah came running from the quiet path.

“Why are you running like that?”

“Hehehe! It’s been a while, so that’s understandable!”

“I see.”

“Mint chocolate. Give me some mint chocolate~!”

A drink as soon as you get here.

He nodded his head at Su-ah’s appearance, but his hands moved quickly.

“ruler.”

“Huh? What is this?”

“Shine Muscat Tart.”

“Wow! You really made this? Awesome!”

You said you would, but you didn’t know you could actually make it?

Suah looked at the tart with a surprised expression.

And then.

Click! Click!

I took a lot of pictures.

One with a counter in the background.

Just one tart.

Go to the window again and put it there and take a picture.

“Stop and eat.”

“Eww! It’s so pretty!”

“Even if it’s pretty, you still have to eat it.”

“I really can’t talk to T. Chee.”

Even though you say things like that, you say you’ll only talk well when you come.

Su-ah pouted for a moment, but soon cut the tart with a fork and put it in her mouth.

“Wow!”

Judging from the reaction, it seemed like they were very satisfied.

I used Shine Muscat instead of peach and it seemed to go well together.

The visuals are of course… … .

‘If peaches are softly pretty, this one is just overtly fresh.’

This side caught my eye more.

They both have their own charms, though.

hmm.

For a moment, my eyes went back to the recipe book.

“Su-ah.”

“yes?”

“Do you know the cafe over there in the village?”

“A cafe? Is there another cafe here?”

Suah tilted her head.

Well, that was a few years ago, so Su-ah was younger then.

Even if it was there, you probably wouldn’t remember it.

“Ah! There it is!”

“Huh? You have it? Do you remember?”

But Su-ah, who had been thinking deeply, raised her head and clapped her hands as if she remembered something.

I remember that.

“Yes! I went there once.”

“Really? When? You were really young back then. Do you remember?”

“What do you think of my memory? When I was little, my older brother took me there once. To be exact, I went with my grandfather.”

“… …with my grandfather?”

“yes!”

This is unexpected.

My grandfather went all the way there.

I was curious so I could go and see.

There are two cafes in this small town.

“How was it? What did Grandpa say?”

“It was just like that. I don’t think Grandpa said anything.”

“… … You just said that?”

“Yes. There was a tart there too, but this one is much tastier!”

Suah said, taking another bite of the tart.

As if it wasn’t an empty promise, half of the tart was gone before I knew it.

‘That guy, he knew the difference between what my grandfather made and what I made at one time.’

It was the first time I made a Mint Chocolate Frappuccino.

I could tell the difference between fresh mint and mint powder right away. Thinking about it that way, it’s not like it’s not credible.

“But why? Are you coming into the cafe again? Hey~ Don’t worry.”

“Why? Because it tastes better here?”

“Of course! People who come here won’t go there, right? It was the same in my grandfather’s time.”

“okay?”

Well, I don’t know if Grandpa used the crops in the garden properly, but he must have used the power of the Tiger Shelter.

If so, not only will it taste good, but people will also feel that special effect.

It might make you feel good and give you peace of mind.

When that is combined with the taste, it becomes something special that only exists here, so it will definitely be different.

Of course, I can’t see the effects and aura with my eyes, so I don’t know exactly what it is.

Anyway, as Su-ah said, if you come here, you will come back even if you go there.

“But are you really going to come into that cafe again?”

“No. That’s not it. Someone moved in there.”

“Oh! Is that you? Who is it? Are you my friend?”

Su-ah opened her eyes wide and asked when she heard that someone was moving into their small rural town.

‘It must be exciting.’

These rural towns do not increase in number, but rather shrink as the population decreases.

When I came, Suah was curious and looked over the wall, but didn’t she get caught?

Because of that, I even misunderstood him as a bowl-headed ghost.

Sigh.

Thinking back on that time makes me laugh again.

“Huh? Why are you laughing?”

“No. But you grew your hair out a bit? You’re not a bowl anymore.”

“Ah! That’s because my brother just cut it for me! What the heck. I told you I was going to the hair salon.”

“Why? That was cute.”

“What’s cute about that? It’s funny. Anyway! You’re moving there? Yay! I’ll have to ask the village chief.”

It wasn’t easy to adapt to Su-ah’s tension, which would sometimes flare up and then become excited.

‘You’d be even more surprised if you knew it was author Han Song-i.’

I decided not to tell you that now.

Because I think it would be fun to see Su-ah get surprised.

However, I need to talk to writer Hansong in advance.

You might see a bucket ghost around the fence… … Ah, it’s not a bucket ghost anymore.

“Why do you keep laughing!?”

“You might laugh.”

“Something, something feels strange. Chii… … Please give me just one more of this.”

“No. One cup a day.”

Su-ah asked for a refill of the mint tea she had already finished drinking. However, since she had already discussed this with Su-ho, there was no additional supply.

“Wow! This is the tyranny of monopoly!”

“Do you know what a monopoly is?”

“I don’t know.”

“… … Yeah. Oh. When is your performance?”

“This is the main one!”

Is it that time already?
