185 – Family (4)
“Now, one popcorn per person and one cola per person.”
“””””Yes~”””””
Because we couldn’t carry it all at once, we decided to have the younger siblings carry the popcorn one by one after ordering.
Popcorn was taken in pairs, and each person got one coke.
After making sure everyone had taken care of everything, I also grabbed my popcorn and cola.
“Oppa, aren’t you heavy?”
“This isn’t heavy…”
“Really? Then I’m glad.”
She smiled bitterly at her younger brother, who had not even entered the movie theater yet, but was drinking a small glass of Coke.
My younger siblings are only 9 years old so there is nothing to worry about.

Is it because they are girls?
I can see that he is trying to take care of me, a man, for no reason.
“That’s not true, it’s because my brother always collapses whenever he gets the chance.”
“Hmm… But I worked out hard so it’s not like that anymore.”
“I’m glad. I hope you live long.”
It was quite complicated, perhaps because I was a child left in my care after my parents passed away.
I stroked her head.
“Then shall we go in quickly?”
I went to gate number 4 written on the ticket issued earlier.

“It feels different when I see it in a movie theater.”
“Next time I finish school….”
The younger siblings seemed to be satisfied, saying among themselves that they liked this scene and that scene was fun.
Because you are not allowed to talk loudly inside the movie theater, you came out and had a long conversation at once.
Looking at that, I remember when Ara and I had a date at the movie theater.
Ara was also noisy every time she came.
That was really cute.
What are you doing right now?
Concert? Event? Filming?
It seemed like there was so much to do that it was difficult to even predict what I would be doing.
I’ll try calling you later.
“Now that I think about it, it’s already lunch time…”
Would you be full with popcorn?
Of course, if it’s lunch time, we have to go eat.

I coaxed my younger siblings, fed them, and took them to daycare.
I was thinking of going to see her mom one last time, but she remembered that she had said earlier that she was going out.
I just said hello to the other teachers and went out.
“It’s already 3 PM…”
3Pm on Saturday.
There is really nothing to do and it is a time to be bored.
Now that I have taken care of my younger siblings, should I think about something else to do?
After all, if you work, you go to work at an agency.
Umm…What should I do?
“I guess I’ll just go buy a drink.”
It seemed like the employees didn’t like the drinks in the bathroom being in paper cartons.
Definitely, if you use a paper carton, the drink will taste less good because it is cheap.
As I got into the car to go home, the door to the daycare center opened and a group of people rushed out.
Cute younger siblings have appeared.
“Guys? What are you doing? Let’s go in and do it.”
“Oppa! Thank you!”
“Come again next time! Let’s go see a movie again!”
It seems like my younger siblings came out because they wanted to say thank you.
Cute guys… I want to pat each of them on the head, but I think that would make me feel embarrassed.
In times like this, it would be cool to smile brightly and wave your hand before disappearing.
I left the parking lot, waving to my younger siblings.
“I feel like crying for no reason.”
When I see my younger siblings’ smiles getting brighter, I am so proud that I feel like crying.
Until I left, it was very difficult because there was not enough support or donations.
So even though I quickly became independent during my freshman year of high school to try to reduce my voice, my shortcomings did not change much.
Now I feel happy that my younger siblings can eat their fill and live like human beings.

“Did you have a good weekend?”
“I… Had such a great time…”
When I came to school on Monday, Minho came into the classroom with a face that looked like he was going to die at any moment.
Probably, he stayed up late because he was watching a live video of an overseas expedition.
“I just recorded it. How was yesterday?”
“Japan? Don’t even talk about it. For a moment, I was almost confused as to whether it was Korea or Japan?”
According to Minho’s testimony, he enthusiastically sang along to the songs of the ‘Queens’ members even though it was clearly a Japanese performance.
No matter what, isn’t it too much of a leap?
“Hey, it wasn’t English, it was Korean?”
“It’s real! Go watch the video today!”
“Today is Ara’s coming day, so I don’t think I’ll be able to watch the video.”
“That’s right. Today is the day you enter the country…”
Minho’s expression doesn’t know whether he’s sad or happy.
It’s good that Ara returned safely to Korea, but it’s disappointing to think that she won’t be able to watch the live broadcast at night anymore.
What on earth do the ‘Queens’ fan club do?
“Minho, do you have tickets to the Korean concert?”
“Ugh….”
“…Why is he crying all of a sudden?!”
Minho began to cry sadly after hearing the question, “Do you have a ticket?”
I was shocked for a moment.
I never thought that an old man would openly shed tears.
What kind of disgusting thing is this?
“Don’t be like that. I chose my seat and got to the payment window, but the payment failed because there was no money in my check card.”
“So you can’t get it?”
“They said that if payment fails, I have to start over from the beginning. All tickets were sold out in one second as soon as they opened.”
Is that why you cry like that?
Then I guess I am the savior.
“But isn’t there something set aside for agency employees?”
“No, this time the CEO didn’t prepare at all. He said this once before.”
“Hmm… I guess that’s it.”
Then it cannot be obtained through any route.
Concerts managed by our agency have a major problem with ticket scalping.
Scalper transactions are immediately sued as interference with business and no settlement is reached.
Except for VIP admission tickets, all tickets are picked up on-site, and if you do not match the account holder who made the reservation at the time of issuance, you will never be given a ticket.
And there are no refunds either.
I saw Minho lying face down on the desk, stroking his chin.
I guess it’s time to take ‘that’ out of my pocket.
“Hey Lee Min-ho. Check this out.”
“….What is it……………………………………..!!”
Minho’s eyes widened when he saw what I was holding out.
He began to check what I was holding out with his eyes looking like they were about to explode at any moment.
From crying to being surprised and laughing.
This guy is busy every day.
“Stand…This can’t be…!”
“This is the VVIP ticket I received from Ara.”
The concert hall has C, S, and R seats, and the one I got was a seat with a better view and guaranteed privacy.
There are only 8 seats, 4 on each side.
What I received from Ara is a total of 4 figures.
So, I received one whole row.
“Are you going?”
“Everyone…Of course we have to go!!! Just give me orders and I’ll be fine!”
“Stone dog, you are very thirsty. Go to the market and buy a bottle of Coca-Cola.”
“I will follow your orders and get well!”
Minho put down the ticket on the desk and ran out the door.
Junghwan saw that and started calling somewhere.
“Where are you calling?”
“I’m going to ask Minho to buy me some.”
In some ways, I think Junghwan is the one who treats Minho better than me.
“But what about one seat?”
“I’m going to take my younger sister. I like Ara a lot.”
He’s been studying hard lately and eating well, so I should give him a reward.
Since there was only one seat left anyway, I decided to take Minji.
“Did you have a sister? I didn’t know?”
“My eldest sister at daycare.”
“Oh, that’s right. I forgot.”
I scratched my head saying I forgot and took out the bag hanging behind me.
I looked at the clock and it was almost time for the professor to arrive.
“But Minho, is this guy going all the way to America to get coke? Why isn’t he coming?”
“If he’s late this time, he’s absent and gets an automatic F.”
Did you order it for no reason?
But what on earth can he do? It’s only been a month since the semester started, and he’s in danger of getting an F grade, right?
“Oh, I can hear you breathing.”
“I can hear it from here.”
The moment I was about to give up and turn around, I heard breathing outside.
It was also a very loud sound, so I couldn’t help but notice it.
“Heo-eok… Heo-eok… Kang Jeong-hwan, that bastard…”
“Uh, did you buy it?”
“What did you ask for?”
“I asked for coffee.”
Both the person who asked for it and the person who bought it are really funny.
Class starts soon. How did you get to the cafe?
“Hey, heo-eok… Heo-eok… This is the quokka collet you ordered.”
“Oh, thank you for your hard work.”
When I said “Thank you” Instead of “Thank you,” He sat down on the chair and started taking a deep breath.
It seems like he realized that being late this time would be a F and acted quickly.
“Anyway, when is it? This weekend? I’m preparing.”
“Ha…Ha…I am proud of my life…”
“Is that still good?’
“Even people who said they would get tickets this time couldn’t get it. It’s natural to be happy.”
I knew that ticketing was very difficult, but it was organized.
When I tried it before, I could see the seat disappearing every time I pressed it.
From what I heard from Minho, this time it was sold out in 1 second, so you must have not seen that, right?
Well, those who can’t go can watch the live video.
You can’t see it in person, but it doesn’t mean you can’t see it at all!
“I’m glad that my friend is Ara’s husband… I’m really glad…”
“Hey.”
Have you seen this obnoxious guy?
It is true that I received the ticket from Ara, but remember that it is I who is taking you.
