198 – Jjimjilbang (2)
“Sister! Please give me a ride next time!”
“As much as you want.”
Minji’s eyes were sparkling as she got out of the Bugatti Chiron, and Ara was satisfied to see Minji like that.
Minji, who said that she had a rare experience by riding in the only car in Korea, jokingly asked her to ride it again next time.
Ara, who agreed to Minji’s request by nodding her head, also smiled brightly.
Most women like cars, so we become friends quickly because we have similar hobbies.
When they first met, they talked about cars and then went down to the parking lot…
From what I heard, Minji said that if she gets her license, he will buy her a car.
What kind of car will I buy you? I’m a little scared.
“But is this right here?”
“Yes, it’s the entire upper floor of the building over there.”
Even though it is a closed community, it does not mean that it is located in a corner of the countryside.
It is located in the middle of Gangnam, Seoul, and is said to occupy all of the 5th to 8th floors.
Because the size of the building was larger and wider than most hallway-type apartments, I was excited to see what the inside would be like.
By the way.
Minho and Jeonghwan are late as a group.
Anyway, is this why men are the problem?
“Minho can just shoot sikhye.”
“Not only sikhye but also eggs and bean noodles…”
I will take this opportunity to suck everything out of Minho.
Junghwan decides to stick a straw next time…
“Do they sell bean noodles in saunas?”
“I don’t know? Won’t they sell it?”
I shrugged my shoulders at Minji’s answer.
This is because I couldn’t remember whether it was seaweed soup or bean noodles that were sold.
I’ve only been there once before, but why did I go there?
It didn’t really remain in my memory anymore.
“I heard from someone who has used this place that they sell tteokbokki?”
“In the sauna… Tteokbokki?”
“Yes, and they also sell things like tteokgalbi?”
In fact, isn’t the jjimjilbang being run as a disguise and a restaurant?
They are selling food that has nothing to do with saunas.
“Oh, there’s a car coming in.”
Ara warned me so I fell a little from where I was standing.
Because the parking lot was tower-shaped, there was nothing in front and it was an open space.
Looking at the car number and model, it was Jeonghwan and Minho’s car.
There are only a few people gathered, but 4 cars are coming.
Two people put the car inside the tower and press the button to raise it up.
After everything was over, I walked this way.
“Hello, Ara.”
“Hello, Minho. It’s been a while since the performance… Who’s the kid next to him?”
“Ji-ye. I have to say hello.”
“Hello!”
This time, Jiye greeted me all at once without muttering or stammering.
Jiye seems very happy to meet her idol.
It’s not just joy, it’s so much that your ears prick up.
Minho: It was a mistake to have played Ara albums instead of children’s songs since he was young.
“Cute…”
“Are you cute?”
“Yes….”
Minjido is also blushing as if Jiye likes her.
Everything Jiye does is cute.
“Can’t we just say hello later and go inside?”
“Okay, we’re already late for entry.”
“You guys are late…”
Someone will think that we came in late because we were late.

“Huh? There’s no button for the 5th floor?”
We entered the elevator, but there was no button for the 5th floor where we were supposed to go.
No matter how closed the community is, is it really necessary to do this?
“Get out of the way.”
Minho told me to get out of the way in front of the button, so I stepped back.
When I stepped back, Minho started pressing the buttons from the 1st to the 4th floor.
At first, I thought it was a prank, but then a ringing notification sound rang out inside the elevator.
Then the lights on the buttons all turned off and the elevator started moving.
“What…What is it?”
“Huh? It was written in front of the elevator earlier? Come to the 5th floor like this.”
The person who created this device is funny, but what on earth is the person who wrote it down on the first floor doing?
Rather than a secret community, it feels more like an elevator design flaw.
The elevator moved quickly, and we arrived at the 5th floor.
As soon as the door opened, I went out and checked the entrance to the desk.
“What, I don’t think it’s any different from a sauna.”
It was just a bit luxurious, but there was little else.
An entrance with keys hanging around, a large desk, and a computer and card reader.
I was rather embarrassed to see that it looked like any other sauna.
“Hello.”
“Hello, customer. Excuse me, but who introduced you here?”
“This is Kim Jae-ho, president of Gwangjin Pharmaceutical.”
After naming the CEO of a very famous pharmaceutical company, he took his wallet out of his pocket and handed out a business card.
I guess he was the very famous person who recommended it.
“I checked the list. Are you by any chance Lee Min-ho?”
“Yes.”
“You have been confirmed.”
Then he took out different colored keys corresponding to the number of people and held them out.
Three for men and three for women.
But is this the end?
“You said it’s a closed community, but all you have to do is check the referrals?”
“Because you’re not as closed-minded as you think.”
“Hmm…”
Is it because I’ve been watching too many movies and dramas recently?
Rather, it seems he was having delusions of grandeur.

“Wow…The entrance looks like that, but the inside is no joke.”
Previously, a scene appeared on the Internet that seemed to be the Spa Land of New World Department Store located in Centum City, Busan.
Basically, the interior is dark, but it is nicely decorated with lights.
And the details were no joke as marble and wood such as black ebony were used harmoniously.
“…How much is the entrance fee here?”
“Can we help with money?”
“Really?”
I don’t know why they ask for money, but places like this won’t just not take money.
There’s probably a place inside that makes you want to spend money.
“For your information, isn’t this like partial payment?”
“Hmm…Is even the moxibustion free?”
“So since we’re here, let’s do whatever we want and let’s go.”
Junghwan nodded at Minho’s words.
It was the promise of the two people to make sure to pick the mulberry.
“What can Jiye learn from an oppa like that?”
“It’s okay. Jiye doesn’t learn from me, she learns from her older sisters.”
“Sisters?”
I saw Minho’s older sister just once before, and her force was no joke.
My mother, the chairman, was smiling kindly and kindly, and my older sister, the company’s managing director, was very impressive.
I guess Minho grew up really well.
Ji-ye is also a late-born child, so he must have grown up randomly.
“Ji-ye. Do you talk to your sisters often?”
“They call me every day and ask if I’ve done my homework.”
“Homework?”
A girl who is only five years old has some homework to do.
She heard that Jiye does not attend kindergarten and is learning lessons from a tutor at home.
Is the tutor so strict that he even assigns homework?
“No. My sisters assign homework and conduct tests every day.”
“Sisters?”
“And they ask me every day whether I brushed my teeth or cleaned my room.”
After listening closely, I found out that the sisters have already become independent.
It seems that he comes home every Friday and assigns homework for his younger sister’s education.
And it seems to be a method of giving time until next week and checking homework the following week.
“It must be difficult.”
“It’s not hard. I said everyone my age does it.”
“……”
I can’t believe you lied like that.
When I was five years old, whenever I had time, I would sleep and doodle in my notebook…
I placed my hand on my forehead for a while and reflected on my past self.

“Are you both coming out soon?”
“Whoa… Seonghwan, please bring me some cold sikhye!”
“Oppa, me too!”
I put my hands on my waist and sighed.
Ara and Minji entered a place with high humidity and temperature that looked to everyone like it was hot, and were having a childish competition to see who could last longer.
There are already more than 6 containers of sikhye that people have asked me to bring.
“Sister, if you keep doing this, you’ll die from the heat…”
“It’s okay! It’s less hot than in the apartment!”
“What does my brother think of me…! I spent even the middle of summer without turning on the air conditioner!?”
The two women who never wanted to lose felt like watching a dragon and a tiger.
Isn’t this the dragon itself?
In the first place, Ara took a huge risk.
From Noble mtl dot com
The ridiculous condition was that if Minji won, she would buy one of our apartments at a low price so that she wouldn’t have to bother going back and forth.
Our house is one of the most expensive houses in Korea, so it would cost at least 2 to 3 billion won…
“Oppa, Ara’s face is so red.”
“Sister! Come out quickly!”
“Ugh…It’s hot…”
In the end, Ara couldn’t bear the heat and ran out.
She and Minji are drinking sikhye inside of her, saying that they can endure more.
Minji won this one.
However, it is hard to imagine Ara, who gets very hot, beating Minji, who never turns on the air conditioner in the middle of summer.
I think it is a natural and deserved result.
But how long does he plan to call his step-sister by the nickname Nim?
No matter how much of a fan club you are, you are still part of the family.
I think calling Minho is enough.
