29 – 029 – When your hometown has changed a lot # 3
029 – When your hometown has changed a lot # 3
It was the first time since middle school that I was dragged out because I had something to say to a woman.
When I was in middle school.
The one who called me back then was the third prettiest girl in the class.
Was your name Mi-na Kim?
She had a kind personality and a good laugh, so all the boys in the class had a little crush on her.
Even though I said, “How many oranges have you eaten?”, He just laughed.
I thought this was definitely love.
How her heart must have thumped when she called me out saying that she had something to say to me.
Mina told me this when I was thinking about getting married after graduating from school in my head.
-You are also very close with Yongtae, aren’t you? Yongtae Do you have a girlfriend?
Mina called me because she likes my friend Yongtae. With tears in my eyes, I tried to connect Yongtae and Mina.
Anyway, I felt the same way when Iljinnyeo Lee Jin-ah dragged me into the alley this time. Even though I vaguely feel that this is not the case between men and women, I am looking forward to it for nothing.
So I asked with a slightly embarrassed heart.
“What are you talking about?”
What if you say you like me?
Since I was a man, I had no choice but to think that way. Also, Lee Jin-ah’s appearance was gorgeous like a scary wasp, but if you look closely, she’s pretty.
If Mina Kim was the third prettiest girl in the class, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Jinah Lee would take the position of at least the second prettiest girl in the class.
If you do well, you might be the prettiest in the class?
Lee Jin-ah said.
“You asked me if I was working part-time? That’s right. I work part time For me, this side of the job is my main job, and that side is my part-time job.”
This side is about moving and transportation, and the other side is about Awoken. If you pretend, you pretend.
After all, it wasn’t a heart-throbbing story of youth—I felt a bit bittersweet, but on the other hand, I also felt puzzled.
“Two jobs?”
There were quite a few Awakeners who worked two jobs up to F and D. Although their tier as an Awakener could be considered low, there were many places to call them in the 5th industrial field these days.
However, C grade was a high enough grade.
From level C, he earned enough to support his family even with Awakener work, and it was better to focus on Awakener work in terms of earnings and prospects.
Lee Jin-ah is in C grade.
She wasn’t friendly, but she had enough skills, so there must be a lot of parties to invite her to come to.
But the Awakener job is a part-time job and this is the main job.
“Your skills are good. Aren’t you going to go higher?”
She asked out of pure curiosity.
Then she said as Lee Jin-ah pat-kicked the stones rolling on her floor.
“I like this job. Because I like to drive. So keep it a secret from the elders in the neighborhood that I’m working for the Awoken. Okay? Everyone is nagging.”
So that’s what happened.
I thought that there are really special people in the world.
And I had no choice but to nod my head in agreement.
“So what?”
What can I do?
He asked me to keep it a secret.
However, Lee Jin-ah frowned as if slightly annoyed.
“I can’t. I’m not sure either.”
“Aren’t you relieved? What?”
“I’ve noticed you before, but if you have a secret, you look like you’re talking about this and that.”
Isn’t that a very rude word?
But when I actually thought about it, I wasn’t the type to keep secrets well. I’ve been talking about this and that to Lee Jung-hoon’s younger brother before.
I….
I just realized now, do you have a personality that can’t keep secrets?
It was a shocking self-reflection in many ways!
Then, Lee Jin-ah raised her index finger.
“Then let’s make a deal. Asking you to keep a secret is my one-sided story, so I’ll keep a secret that will be helpful to you. You, mom and her dad told me to get married, so it bothers you?”
That was right.
The reason I almost cut off contact with my family was not only because of my lack of qualifications, but also because every time I called my dad asked if he had a girlfriend or get married.
It was like that today too.
I will continue to do so.
“To be honest, you’ve never had a girlfriend, right? Have you ever held a woman’s hand? I don’t think you’ll be popular if you see a soccer player’s picture embedded in your Tel Talk profile.”
“… ….”
No, what about being a soccer player? Not much?
Anyway, the fact attack hurt so much.
Even if Lee Jeong-hoon hit the beam saber properly, it wouldn’t be this fatal.
When I was about to lose my temper, Lee Jin-ah put her hand around my waist.
“Smile. Be friendly Pretend to be friendly.”
With a line that seems like her PTSD will come somewhere, Lee Jin-ah made her face close to her own and snapped a picture of her with her cell phone.
It happened so suddenly that I didn’t even have a moment to react.
“Show this picture to her parents and tell them she is dating me. I’ll pretend Then you will be able to avoid annoying questions from adults in the future. Call?”
So I’ll pretend to have a lover—is that it?
I wondered if this deal was the right thing to do.
At that time, Lee Jin-ah added her words.
“Didn’t you say you wanted to go upstairs? You really won’t have enough time to get a girlfriend or get married. It would be hard to say sorry to her parents every time.”
Do you still have to lie about having a girlfriend?
While her conscience was pricked by the act of deceiving her parents, Lee Jin-ah touched her cell phone and she showed me the screen.
It was a sign that I had sent a tel-talk to my mother and sent her the picture she had just taken.
“I told her auntie that she is dating from today.”
“Already!?”
I was quite embarrassed.
It is true that the head of the moving center was rumored to have a strong vitality and drive.
It was a famous story in the neighborhood that, even after his wife died in an accident caused by a crack, he immediately regained his composure, found a job, started a family, and built a store.
Those daughters also have strong vitality, so they look just like the boss in being tough and strong.
“Then I have to check if the washing machine installation went well, so I go first. Keep my secret Otherwise, I will tell you your secret.”
Poof-.
After saying that, Lee Jin-ah went into our house.
# # #
“To think that all of our workers are dating girlfriends! Shall I show you a picture of you when you were young? Elbeom must still be there! Let’s see!”
My mother was a person who made a lot of fuss and had a big reaction.
The reaction and fuss was so great that even if I did something better than others, I would like to spread rumors around the neighborhood by hanging placards.
Her mother brought an album to Jinah Lee, and she showed her pictures of this and that, and she was very happy.
“This is when I won first place in running in kindergarten.”
I was very nervous.
My mother was being too friendly with Lee Jin-ah, who was pretending to be my girlfriend, and on the other hand, was talking to the point of being annoying.
Since she was Lee Jin-ah, who was consistently prickly and chic even in C-rank chat rooms, she was nervous because she didn’t know how to react.
What do you do when you get angry at my mother?
But my worries were unfounded.
“It’s cute. Do you have any other pictures?”
Lee Jin-ah was neither chic nor rude in front of adults. I even felt a sense of alienation from her acting like the second daughter of a local moving center.
That kind of appearance was the reason why my father was eager to make her his daughter-in-law.
What is the real Lee Jin-ah?
From noble mtl dot com
It was then.
Oinoi, who had been playing Minesweeper for a long time, came out into the living room in a rage.
“This house’s computer has too many mines… ! This oi-noi will die from stepping on landmines that hate nymphs again and again…. This oinoi….”
Ohinoi and Lee Jin-ah met each other’s eyes.
Come to think of it, were the two of you meeting for the first time?
I wondered how Oinoi would react to this Iljinnyeo.
Like when he saw Yuari, would he tremble and try to hide in his room?
Or do you want to punch Lee Jung-hoon like you did when you saw him?
“There is a woman I haven’t seen before… !”
However, Oinoi’s reaction was quite calm.
Rather, Lee Jin-ah seemed more embarrassed.
“… What about him?”
“This is the nymph Oino.”
I briefly explained.
So, Lee Jin-ah said, “Nymph….” She shuddered slightly. Come to think of it, Lee Jin-ah liked the dog squirrel Kyeongkyeongi.
They even gave out the peanuts they had secretly put in their pockets when no one was looking.
Do you like cute things with chic themes?
If that’s the case, Oinoi might like it too.
Lee Jin-ah said.
“I am Lee Jin-ah, Haildo’s girlfriend. Nice to meet you.”
“Ah… , a girlfriend… ! This Oinoi thought that Kore Yerim was the owner’s girlfriend without fail… ! Indeed, the arrows of Eros fly regardless of pay or for free… !”
“Kore Yerim? Ildo, who is Kore Yerim again? Foreigner?”
Her father, who was sitting on the sofa and listening very carefully to the conversation between Lee Jin-ah and her mother, frowned slightly. When feeling a bad feeling in many ways, Oinoi raised his hand and said.
“Kore Yerim is a very nice Korain… ! For reference, this Korera means a very cute girl and a spring maiden, and this woman with yellow hair also has the qualities of a Kore… !”
It seemed so.
Her mother and her father looked incomprehensible, but said, “I see,” Almost simultaneously.
They say couples look alike.
My father immediately asked.
“What, work. Have you ever met someone else? Who is Yerim? Is this the girlfriend you dated before?”
“No. What is it. Yerim is like a work colleague. You know Seo Ye-rim? They just appear in commercials and dramas.”
Seo Yerim.
My mother was taken aback by that name.
“Seo Yerim! The person who took the water purifier commercial! Mom changed it to a water purifier this time! Over there! My God, do we work with celebrities now? Aren’t you supposed to hang a placard!?”
You scolded me.
This is why I don’t come to my hometown often.
I felt that if I continued like this, this fire would grow so large that it could not be extinguished.
In this case, the best way is to retreat.
“I will stop going now. I tried to see her sister’s face, but she’s too late. It’s five o’clock in the afternoon and he still hasn’t come in. Why are you so late when you’re only twenty-one? Curfew!”
“Ildo, take some kimchi on the way!”
With those words, she left the house.
Soon, Lee Jin-ah also came out.
“Are you going home? I’ll give you a ride. When you’re acting, you have to be clear so adults don’t suspect it.”
While saying that, Lee Jin-ah drove a 1-ton truck.
Bureung-!
Although the car is old enough to be manual in the world these days, the driving form skillfully manipulating the gear with one hand was not a skill that I have driven once or twice.
She liked it very much because it was the first time she rode in a truck.
“This truck is a wonderful thing… ! They said it would be great to take the nymphs and sisters in the wide back seat and go to see the spring flowers… !”
I keep imagining strange scenes.
Lee Jin-ah was driving with an expressionless face while Oh Noi was looking out of her window.
She looked like she would get annoyed at any moment.
After all, did my mother bother me too much today?
We went for two hours without saying a word.
When I arrived at the house of the well, it was already 7:00 PM because it was closed during work hours.
The black electric car parked in front of the yard was quite familiar.
Was Seo Ye-rim here?
“Thank you for driving me a long way.”
Shut-.
I expressed my gratitude to Lee Jin-ah as I got out of her truck. If she took public transportation, it would take longer and she would be tired.
At that time, the door to the yard opened and Seo Ye-rim appeared with a frown on her face.
“Hey, Haildo. Didn’t I tell you to reply quickly when I contact you?”
Oh, did you get a call from Seo Ye-rim?
She couldn’t confirm because she seemed rude if she sat still in the passenger seat and looked at her phone.
I lightly replied to Seo Ye-rim.
“I went back to my hometown. She was sitting in the passenger seat and had no time to look at her phone.”
“Really? You said you didn’t have time to look at your phone when you weren’t driving.”
Seo Ye-rim looks at Yongdal Tea with thin eyes.
For the daughter of a wealthy family, the old moving center car was a strange shape.
Clap-.
At that time, Lee Jin-ah opened the car door and got out of the driver’s seat.
Seo Ye-rim is amazed at how intense her yellow hair is.
“What is it, are you a woman?”
Did you think the driver was male because of the truck’s visual?
Soon, Lee Jin-ah started to unload the kimchi container from her luggage compartment onto the floor.
“Take the kimchi.”
