99 – Rest Area
“Sister, I’ll come back then.”
“Have fun.”
The day of going to the ski resort for 4 nights and 3 nights.
Ara, who can’t go out this winter because she doesn’t have time, yawned loudly.
She came out to meet me at the front door.
Yesterday, I came back from working late at night and saw Ara looking tired.
She started to feel very sorry about going out alone.
He must have seen my expression, so he slowly approached me and hugged me.
“You said there’s no need to be sorry?”
“Still…”
“Well, I should feel sorry for my older sister who couldn’t keep up with me. What should I do if you feel sorry for me?”
He patted my head and said it was okay.
I started organizing my clothes.
“It’s cold outside, so dress warmly and have fun?”
“Please dress warmly, too.”
“Yes, my husband said so, so I have to do it.”
She said she understood and draped the blanket she was holding in her hand like a cloak over her shoulders.
He smiled.
“That’s right, take out some cash before you go to the condo.”
“Do you have a card?”
“There are a few places that don’t have credit card stores, and the ATMs there are
There may be people waiting in line or there may be no cash inside.”
“Aha…I guess you’ve been skiing a lot.”
“I went there often with my family when I was young.”
The look in Ara’s eyes as she strokes my head while recalling the nostalgic past is
She looked very sad.

She drove the car, drove around, and arrived at the meeting place where she was supposed to meet Minho.
The two people were nowhere to be seen, and perhaps because it was 9 o’clock in the morning, there were no people walking around.
“Did I leave too early?”
Is it because we were supposed to meet at 9:30?
Originally, these two people always came out quickly and were waiting for me.
I came out early this time, but it looks like the two of them are planning to come out slowly.
“Ugh… It’s cold, it’s cold.”
This is what happened, I decided to go to a coffee shop and get a cup of coffee.
Perhaps because of the sudden temperature change, her entire body began to tingle and tingle.
I ran to the coffee shop right next door and ordered an iced Americano.
No matter how cold the weather was, I couldn’t stand the hot drinks.
Prepared cold.
Of course, my part-time job saw me feeling cold while ordering an iced Americano in this weather from the morning breeze.
She tilted her head.
He looked so cold and didn’t understand why he was ordering Ah.
As I brought out the prepared coffee, two people presumed to be Jeonghwan and Minho appeared.
He was seen leading the suitcase into the bank.
“My sister told me to get money…”
I couldn’t take coffee into the bank, so I put it down in the car and went into the bank.
As expected, maybe there was something wrong with my eyes?
Junghwan and Minho were waiting there after taking tickets.
It was morning, but surprisingly there were people.
“Are you here?”
“If you’re here, please open the car trunk.”
“It’s open, car key here.”
I handed the car keys to Minho, and the two of them left at the same time.
And then, with quick movements as if loading and unloading a parcel, the carrier is loaded into the trunk.
I tied it with string so it wouldn’t move, locked the trunk, and came back this way.
“Did you guys have a part-time job loading and unloading packages?”
“Aren’t you going to let men load and unload?”
“I just got used to it from helping around the house.”
The two people handing me the car keys and laughing, saying it was nothing
He looked like a dutiful son who had been helping with household chores for a long time.
It’s housework… Is it right for me to help out at the orphanage…?
“Hey, don’t be weird and just get a ticket.”
“Voting? Come to think of it, why did you even vote?”
“I’m going to cash the check, Minho, what about you?”
“I don’t have money? Then Seonghwan, why did you come to the bank?”
“I came in to get some cash.”
It seems like we all came in to make cash.
But why do these two have things like checks?
“My father gave me pocket money.”
“I came to change what I changed before.”
“I understand it’s pocket money, but why did you change it to a check?”
“Romance?”
What kind of romance is there in checks?
It’s hard to understand every time I see it.

“Seonghwan, let’s rest for a while at the rest area.”
“Toilet?”
“There’s that too, and it’s been a while since I wanted to stop by.”
It’s been a while since I’ve driven on the highway, so it’s worth taking a break and then going.
I nodded and took the road leading to the rest area.
“Wow… The rest area is pretty big.”
“I guess this place isn’t that big?”
“It’s on a different level than what I thought…”
The rest area I imagined was a convenience store and a place that only sells a few foods.
It was not a place like this where there was a gas station or even an electric vehicle charging station.
“Is this your first time at a rest area?”
“Yes…”
“This is why I have to tell you all the things you can enjoy at the rest area.”
“The title of the video is ‘I bought buttered potatoes for a hillbilly who came to the rest area for the first time.’ Let’s go with this.”
“Would you like to take a video too?”
“You can’t not take pictures of such interesting situations.”
I don’t know what’s funny about this situation.
If Minho is full of thoughts about taking pictures and Junghwan doesn’t stop him,
I have no choice but to follow the filming.
Even though Junghwan is like this, it is because he is the ‘writer’ of our agency.
We finished parking and got out of the car.
Once I stopped by the bathroom, I started draining the full amount of water.
The biggest reason why people driving on the highway stop by a rest stop is
Could it be because of the bathroom?

Actually, I can tolerate things like eating to some extent.
It is impossible to tolerate physiological phenomena, such as going to the bathroom.
“Whoa… It’s cool…”
I washed my hands thoroughly and came out.
Junghwan and Minho were taking pictures with their cell phones.
He introduced the rest area like an MC on a variety program.
I started filming a video with the concept of capturing myself shaking my hands off from the bathroom.

“Is this your first time seeing Seonghwan? This is a butter potato.”
“I know that much…”
I’m not a native of another world.
And it’s not the first time I’ve seen it.
This is also sold at amusement parks and snack bars.
“If you do this, the video will become no fun.”
“It’s strange to try to make a fun video with buttered potatoes and Frankfurt sausages in the first place.”
“That’s right, it would be better to just upload this video to Seonghwan’s channel and let foreigners see it.”
“Highway rest area content…? It doesn’t seem to fit…”
Well, I don’t upload videos very often.
If you post something like this and people like it, it wouldn’t be a bad thing.
“But, isn’t there a food court in the rest area?”
“It’s in here, it’s in there.”
“Why don’t you go there?”
“Hmm… I guess there are more delicious things at the resort than the food court at the rest area?”
“Then you have to endure it.”
I nodded with a solemn face, and the two people laughed.
Since we’re here to have fun, shouldn’t we eat something more delicious?
Well, I wonder how delicious it would be.
“Potatoes are delicious.”
“Really? Eating at a rest area is also special.”
The sweet and salty flavor of butter is
I felt like it tasted even more delicious because I had driven the car so hard to get here.
I should go home and give it to Ara too.

“Hey, are you Seong-hwan Yoo?”
Lastly, I ordered coffee and was about to leave.
Women who looked a bit scary came over here and started talking.
Usually, the people who talk to me are middle school or high school students.
Most of the people looked nice and were wearing suits.
I was a little surprised.
“Ah…Hello.”
“Wow, it’s really Yoo Seong-hwan.”
“It’s so amazing.”
The women started talking loudly and using profanity.
What was so surprising was that I started repeating the same thing over and over again.
I froze and couldn’t say anything, but
Junghwan and Minho looked at them with displeased eyes.
“Are you here with a group of guys? I don’t know where you’re going, but do you want to hang out with us?”
“That person, Yoo Seong-hwan, is a married man.”
“What’s wrong? I can’t even see Song A-ra. What do you think? With us…”
“That’s it. Please stop.”
In the end, unable to bear it any longer, Jeonghwan stood up and expressed his opposition to them.
He pushed me and Minho to walk to the car.
“Junghwan…”
“It’s okay, so go quickly.”
“Uh…”
I nodded calmly, and Minho and I headed to the car.
When I looked back, I saw Jeonghwan continuing to talk to those people.
The atmosphere is so scary that you wonder if something big is going to happen.
“Because Seonghwan is with you, all sorts of things happen.”
“I forgot to wear sunglasses and a mask…”
“You get in the car first.”
“What are you going to do?”
“I have to go.”
“Are you going to cause an accident again because you can’t control your anger!?”
Minho should not be sent away because he had an accident in a PC room not long ago.
But Junghwan is a good kid, so he might send Tyler back.
If Minho goes, start by swearing at him.
His fist might come first.
“Oh, that’s not true? I’ll come back.”
“Ah…I can’t do this…”
In the end, Minho went out despite my efforts to dissuade him.
If this happens, I guess I have no choice but to go out and stop it.
