23 – Worries (2)
“So is that the end of your worries?”
Junghwan picked up the chicken wings on the plate.
They asked me to go out to eat, so I thought we’d go to a restaurant or something.
It was a family restaurant.
It is famous for its steak house.
Sipping a drink full of ice
I shook my head.
Among the things I’m thinking about right now, the thing I’m most concerned about is
Because it’s not like creating a channel and then sleeping on it.
“I don’t know if I’m overly self-conscious, but the stares are so harsh these days.”
I have become accustomed to women asking for my number all the time.
But… The gaze that feels a little different from before is quite burdensome.
“Hmm… I don’t think it has much to do with QTube videos.”
“Why do we agree on this?”
Junghwan and Minho suddenly high-fived.
I tilted my head for a moment.
Right now, even here, the stinging eyes of people passing by are killing me.
It doesn’t matter.
Aren’t you guys talking too harshly about someone else’s business?
“Whether you’re famous or not, you can’t avoid people’s attention, right?”
“Or, like Ara, you go around wearing sunglasses and a mask.”
“No, if a man walked around like that, wouldn’t he get more attention? I thought he was a celebrity.”
The two of them giggled and laughed as they said that.
Well, I kind of knew how to say that.
For some reason, it has become very popular since it came to this world.
However, I started to get a little frustrated because there was no original solution.
Um…
Now that I think about it, isn’t my current situation truly ‘inevitable’?
If people don’t change, I have no choice but to change.
Just as Q-Tubers and celebrities haven’t been like that since they were born.
It was something I just had to pay less attention to.
When I think like that, my heart that was stuffy and clogged with worries
It felt refreshing, as if something had been opened.
Is it really up to you?
“I don’t know. I just want to enjoy it too.”
“Well thought out. We’ll also appear on QTube once in a while.”
Minho gave me an answer that I was extremely grateful for.
It’s great to feed Ara, but I wanted to film a video of me serving food to many people.
If I join an agency, wouldn’t I be able to cook for celebrities?
Junghwan sees Minho offering to appear on QTube.
I snorted.
“Minho’s selfish intentions are visible, whether he is simple or clever.”
“Of course he’s good.”
“Yes, yes, I hope you like it.”
This time, I lifted the cup while laughing.
There was no sound of water lapping in the cup.
The ice and the cup collided, making a sound like something you would only hear in a gravel field.
“What, where’s my drink?”
“Minho drinks that?”
“Ha… I’m tired of talking now.”
“Ma! We are Nami!”
Even though we are friends, we are still strangers.
Seeing them bickering and fighting once again
I smiled bitterly.
In the end, Jeonghwan was defeated.
To be exact, I gave up halfway through.
Isn’t Minho acting like that even more because he’s giving up like this?
I have to be careful not to get caught up.
Junghwan sighed and lifted the cup.
“Who wants another drink?”
“I want cola.”
“I’ll have cola too.”
Jeonghwan, who took our order, also nodded his head.
He rang the call bell.

“The order for table 13 has been placed.”
After graduating from high school, I went to university, but
To earn his tuition, he started working part-time.
It’s not that I haven’t thought about student loans, but I’m already worried about incurring debt.
Is it because of anxiety and resistance?
I started working as a server with the intention of experiencing social life in advance.
Once in a while, I was in trouble because of a difficult customer.
It’s not to the point where I can’t bear it.
Because Fei is really strong, should I say that he can endure such hardship?
This is commonly referred to as financial therapy.
By the way, I suddenly became very busy today.
To the point where it stands out.
Sales increased tremendously, and the frequency of serving increased significantly.
Seeing that there is so much work that other off-time part-time jobs are also mobilized…
Well, you can say that everything has been said.
Because everyone ordered tomahawk steak together.
I couldn’t know unless I knew the reason.
This is because Tomahawk Steak was served at ‘Ara Tube’, which is currently a hot topic in Changan.
World star ‘Song Ara’ is seen eating the tomahawk steak prepared by her husband.
It caught the eyes and stomach of the viewers.
So, not only our store but also other branches and companies that sell Tomahawk steak
Everyone is on emergency alert.
Especially in steak stores that can be called franchises.
As it turns out, the company I work for that sells tomahawk steak is almost unique.
People are constantly coming.
Before watching the video, I felt resentful towards Song A-ra and her husband.
I didn’t know what was going on because I was in the middle of work, but I found out that such a video had been uploaded through a senior at my part-time job.
And, a familiar face appeared in the video my senior played.
“Yoo Seong-hwan…?”
He was a high school classmate.
There was a rumor that he was one of the most handsome men not only on campus but also in and around the province.
The person involved was quiet and spoke little, so it seemed like he wasn’t interested in that.
“What, do you know each other?”
“We were classmates in high school…?”
“But why are you looking like you don’t know? I heard all the Queens members came to the graduation ceremony?”
“I didn’t attend the graduation ceremony…”
I happened to be sick that day and couldn’t participate in the graduation ceremony.
So, I don’t really know what happened at the graduation ceremony.
Come to think of it, I saw Song A-ra talking about something in the group chat room.
I never thought Song A-ra would come in person.
I can’t believe that such a quiet boy got married before she even took off her school uniform.
Plus, the other person is a world star idol.
When I first heard it, I couldn’t believe it, thinking it was the Truman Show or something.
“Three glasses of Coke for table 17.”
I came to my senses only after hearing a ringtone and a loud voice coming from the kitchen.
I’m in the middle of working part-time, but I can’t believe I’m thinking about something else.
I’m so busy…
I quickly ran to the kitchen, grabbed three glasses of Coke, and headed to table number 17.
There, three men were eating while chatting quietly.
‘Tomahawk steak here too.’
And I put the three glasses of cola I brought with me on the table.
It doesn’t look like there are any empty plates, so I don’t think there’s any need to clean them up.
“The 3 glasses of cola you ordered came out.”
“Yes, thank you… Huh? Song Jae-yeon..? It’s Jae-yeon, right?”
The man who was talking with two men on his side called my name.
He had no choice but to turn to the side because his name was called.
“Yoo Seong-hwan…?”
Why is he here?
I was confused for a moment, but this is close to the high school I graduated from.
I guess it can be within the range of activities.
Anyway, he looks more handsome.
“Do you work here?”
“Huh? Uh..Yeah..Because of tuition…”
“I see… I was worried because I heard you couldn’t come to the graduation ceremony because you were sick.”
“Are you worried..? Thank you..”
“What’s wrong? I feel like I’m shaking a little…”
“No, it’s nothing..! Enjoy your meal!”

“Yes… You have a hard time too.”
He bowed his head in greeting and hurriedly ran away.
Seonghwan is Seonghwan, but the two people sitting in front of him are also incredibly handsome.
Because my eyes were dazzling.
After all, does a good-looking kid hang out with good-looking kids?
“Ha….”
If I keep working like this, I’ll never be able to date properly.
When will I be able to date?
I lowered my head and sighed.

“What, do you know each other?”
“We were classmates in high school.”
“Hmm…”
Junghwan sipped his cola while looking in the direction Jaeyeon passed by.
Could it be that interest arose?
I’ve been staring at it for quite some time.
Jaeyeon and I were somewhat close friends.
Jaeyeon likes books in the other world.
Because when it was lunch time, she was at the library.
She, like me, was confined to her library.
We were a little close friends.
So, we recommend books to each other or read book reviews.
I still remember that.
But what about books in this world?
She became a passionate girl who ran away with the ball.
Probably, the original me and Jaeyeon here didn’t even have a point of contact.
I felt a little lonely because I felt that such simple relationships were quite distorted.
“It looks quite pretty.”
“What? Is Jeonghwan interested in you?”
“Hmm..”
“What, is it true?!”
Junghwan coughed loudly and unnaturally.
It seems like he is really interested.
“Wouldn’t it be okay for me to try dating soon?”
“If you’re really interested, why don’t you go and get his number?”
“That’s right, that’s right.”
Minho pushed his back, and I joined in.
Because it was a combination that seemed to go quite well together.
Did it have an effect?
Junghwan jumped up holding his cell phone.
“Then I’ll take your number.”
“Oh! A real woman! No, a real man! It has a strange tone.”
“The man who picks numbers!”
Finally, I incited him once more.
Anyway, I never thought I would actually go pick one.
Junghwan’s acting skills were better than I thought.
Then, it disappeared somewhere.
I saw Minho sitting quietly and eating ice.
What kind of taste does he have in women?
I’m a little curious.
“Minho. What kind of girl do you like?”
“Me?”
Put the remaining ice in your mouth
Minho chewed while making a crunching sound.
She closed her eyes and began to meditate.
It seems he is thinking of his ideal type in his head.
But, doesn’t it come out all at once?
“Someone with long straight hair, reasonably large breasts, and pretty eyes?”
“Hmm… Your tastes are similar to mine.”
It seems like he likes to look just like Ara.
So, he must have become such a fanatic fan.
I mentioned Ara with the intention of thinking about it.
“Ara, do you feel like an older sister?”
“Hmm… It’s a little different, Ara is an object of worship, not an object of romance.”
Oh no.
Have you ever seen a guy who is so sure of merit(?) And private life?
Fans are just fans, they don’t seem to think that way.
He’s quite an amazing guy.
“If you like it, it’s Yeji.”
“Isn’t Yeji an object of worship?”
“That’s true, but if I had to choose from my tastes, it would be that way.”
Ye-ji definitely has black hair, bright eyes, and breasts…
Hmm…
Anyway, a sharp and chic look is my preference.
I’ve been chatting about my tastes for a while now.
Junghwan sat quietly in his seat without saying anything.
At this point, I can’t tell if it was successful or failed.
It was frustrating, so Minho hesitated to answer.
“Did you do it?”
“Of course I got it.”
“Well, it’s reverse hunting, but it’s hard to fail.”
Shrug.
I smiled bitterly at the sight of her bragging while shrugging off her shoulders.
“What did you say?”
“Oh, speak quickly!”
Junghwan just grins.
He didn’t say anything.
This makes me even more curious.
***
“Seonghwan, you came out.”
After going to the gym, the house is quiet.
Usually around this time of year, the lights are brightly lit.
Even though it was a time when the kitchen should have been noisy.
“That’s right. You said you were going to hang out with your friends today.”
To Seonghwan, who seemed to have no friends
For some reason, I am happy to have a friend of the same s*x.
Considering that she was polite and even took care of her drunk husband,
They were trustworthy friends.
And, for a man, he was big and looked reassuring.
“Then I guess I’ll have to eat dinner alone.”
I felt a little empty, but even if it was my husband,
I have no intention of oppressing Seonghwan or doing anything like that.
Because we love each other, and we are not being dragged around by someone.
“Huh…?”
The first thing I encountered when I headed to the kitchen was
The dinner table was so prepared that the legs of the table were bent.
I was a little surprised and sat down on the chair.
The post-it note under the rice bowl caught my eye.
“Seonghwan too…”
I’m sorry that we can’t eat together when we go out to play, and I hope that you enjoy the meal.
It was a warm handwritten letter filled with heart.
Also, it was added that you should take a shower before eating.
I have a husband who takes care of me like this.
I felt like I was really happy.
Isn’t this a feeling that only I can feel?
“Then let’s take a shower!”
The meal you eat after taking a shower will be even more delicious.
With that thought in mind, I kicked off my chair and stood up.
