23 episodes. The most important thing is myself.
“Yoosung, you talk a lot with Korean kids these days.”
Park Yoo-hyeon said it out of the blue while he was working.
We got to know each other for a few days, and we decided to stop talking, so he wasn’t shy about dealing with me.
Of course, being of the same age played a big role.
“Am I talking a lot for a day or two?”
Do you ride a Ferrari or do you have a red zone because of a sudden change of position?
I was talking like a peanut among Koreans.
And everyone is shivering, but there is actually one more reason.
This is because among Koreans, he is close with Heesun and Jihyeon, who fight for one-two because of their beauty.
Again, they are not Kim Hee-sun and Jun Ji-hyun, but they are noticeable among ordinary people.
So, the existence of the country is also revealed.
Beauty is painful, but the people around you are also suffering.
“But what are you talking about?”
“You haven’t heard the real rumors?”
“Did you see something like that in front of the person involved? Tell me quickly.”
“My roommate said…”
After hearing Park Yoo-hyun’s words, I couldn’t keep my mouth shut.
The story was roughly as follows.
Kim Ha-min and Hee-seon were dating, but I got involved and a love triangle was formed. Kim Ha-min was the poor guy who took out the woman, Hee-seon was the bad bitch who abandoned the man. he had become a weirdo
You’re making a lot of movies. Are you a bum bum bum?
“by the way······”
“What else do you have?”
“There is a saying that Hamin hyung sent you here with his hands behind the scenes, but Hee-sun took revenge.”
“What?”
What kind of opening ground is this again?
“Actually, it’s not often that parts are changed, and that’s a newbie. Of course, my partner suddenly quit his job at that time due to visa issues, but then Hamin’s hyung’s line leading hand took an active role. It’s perfectly fine to misunderstand. A man who has stolen a woman takes revenge on a man who has stolen her…”
“Hey, I got tired of filming a morning drama.”
“But you and Heesun are really like that, aren’t they?”
“no!”
Pretty, but not my style.
Hee-sun has an urban image like Kim Hee-sun.
I don’t know if it was the innocent Jihyun.
Well, I wouldn’t even think of anyone giving me the rice cake.
Anyway, that’s it.
‘Wow that’s crazy. Hee-sun had him crack down on him, but rumors spread like this…’
After learning the circumstances of Inham’s return, everyone knew that there was something there.
It is the same with social and corporate life here.
Where would he be willing to give away his manpower to another place?
Fighting hard enough to protect it is not enough.
Something that was not common sense happened, and the reason for this was entangled in politics.
why? because it’s fun
“Hey, are you going to have a potluck party this Saturday?”
A potluck party is an American-style party culture in which participants prepare dishes or drinks according to their taste.
If it was in Korea, I would have collected money and bought it with public money, but since it’s a foreign country, I’m going to try a potluck party.
Because it feels more like a foreign country.
“Yeah. At Southbank. Why? Then he came out because he was dating Heesun? Kick.”
“Are you gay? Coming out?”
“Huh? Doesn’t coming out mean publicly?”
“……”
He has a good physique and a good personality, but his English is weak.
It’s even more so because I’ve only been working out for a living.
In the first place, he said that the reason he wanted to make as much money as possible in the factory was to get private lessons so he could focus on English.
When I heard rumors that Koreans were flocking to language schools, I thought of private lessons.
This is another advantage of Park Yoo-hyun.
To do one thing for sure without choosing an ambiguous path between work or study in the middle.
So, at 2 pm, after work at Inham, he is doing two jobs while doing kitchen hands (washing dishes) at a restaurant located in Brisbane City.
I can work like that because my stamina follows.
For reference, after work, I go for a drive in the suburbs or take a rest.
My legs feel like I’ve done a million planks, and my arms feel like I’ve lifted dumbbells 10 million times.
Thanks to you, my body is getting better.
“Hey, so what does coming out mean?”
“Look in the dictionary. That way it will be more memorable.”
It’s not that I don’t know how to teach.
***
Brisbane has a large river that runs through the city like the Han River in Seoul.
The name is Brisbane River.
And there are parks around it like Hangang Park.
But should I say the level is different?
For example, Southbank where we have a potluck party today.
There is an artificial beach here.
It’s an artificial swimming pool, just like the beach, it’s made with sand.
Gold Coast sand, anyway…
Why is Haeundae that beach that looks like it’s fried several times?
‘Kya, that’s straight…’
In the swimming pool, children were playing in the water and laughing non-stop, and adults were sunbathing on the sandy beach.
How nice to see this
Although the artificial beach was a mess, what was really nice to see was the people enjoying their leisure there.
5 days a week and Carl’s work.
Australia is said to be a country that values their own happiness above all else.
It’s good work and money, but it’s about enjoying everyday happiness, that’s what it is.
Today is Saturday, so it’s not a special sight to see.
It is also common on weekdays.
I suddenly wondered how I could do that.
In order to win the competition, overtime work is basic and 6 days a week is essential.
There was an atmosphere that seemed to be the only way to survive, and I also took it for granted.
But not here.
I went to an inham factory and saw it firsthand.
The leading hands acted without notice of the supervisor, and the supervisors did not notice the plant manager.
In other words, you are more important than others.
So they don’t even notice other people, but they don’t talk much about other people’s private lives.
-What? Who are you dating? But who intervenes in the triangle? Yeah, that’s right.
then drink it
On the other hand, Koreans are very interested in it, probably because they have a mindset of where are we from?
-Are they in a love triangle? omg, omg. who hooked up first? So did you fight? did you take revenge? It’s totally fun. so? So what happened?
You make a movie, then you make a drama, and then you write a novel.
‘You must have been having fun talking about me again.’
They found me from afar and saw me acting awkwardly.
Most riverside parks, as well as Southbank, have free barbecues.
The place where we decided to have a potluck party today was also a barbecue area.
“Brother, are you late?”
Jihyun saw me and greeted me.
The fact that she is a night shift is that she gathers both day and night.
It was a possible schedule to keep 5 days a week at Inham.
However, not all Koreans are gathered today. Even if there is a place like this, the person who will fall will fall again.
For example, like Park Yoo-hyeon lost because of two jobs.
“I overslept, haha.”
“Hey, I don’t think so? Isn’t it late because of this?”
Jihyun took the icebox that was hanging over my shoulder and opened the lid.
It was filled with a variety of seafood including sea bream, lobster, and abalone.
Meat is cheap in Australia, but fish is expensive.
This is because aquaculture has not developed due to environmental protection.
So I, one of the oldest among the workaholics, spent some money.
Well, actually, I have a lot of money.
“Wow! Fish, crustaceans, shellfish. There are all kinds!”
“It’s awesome. It’s so fresh.”
I am another Masan man child.
If it’s not fresh, the seafood is the catch.
“It’s our first party, so we prepared a lot to eat.”
As I said that, I heard a muffled mumble that was barely audible.
“Are you bragging about having a lot of money, what? Chit.”
It was Kim Ha-min, who sat at the end of the table.
It was a small voice, but I heard it, but maybe the other kids couldn’t hear it?
Everyone was watching me, Kim Ha-min, and Hee-sun, but I had no choice but to listen.
The atmosphere is going to get stale.
“Everyone, what are you doing? Let’s prepare and eat. I’m hungry.”
When I pretended I didn’t hear, the kids started to laugh awkwardly hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha”
Are you proud of your money? That’s not wrong. I’m proud of myself pu ha ha.
“Come on, let’s have a drink together, let’s toast.”
Jung Hoon, the oldest, raised the glass high and said.
I came here on a working holiday just in my 30s, and should I say that I am a leader among working holidayers?
Shin Jeong-hoon is also the person who suggested having this potluck party today.
“It’s a relationship that we met like this. Let’s get along well. Working hard and enjoying the holidays like today. Come on, Cheers!”
“Cheers!”
Playing from a joint toast is no different from Korea.
The food is different, and the alcohol is just wine, not soju.
It’s cool to say that it’s a potluck party, but it’s just a party to eat and drink.
“Yoosung-ah.”
Jeonghoon hyung came up to me and sat down and said,
“Yes, bro.”
“I think it’s a place like this, so I can talk a little more comfortably.”
“What?”
“Your car.”
“……?”
“When you leave the factory, why don’t you leave it alone? You have eyes for other people.”
“……”
Huh, you’re going to hear this in Australia.
Why don’t you say something like this when you go to work?
When a new hire buys a car, there is no concept of buying a car with a higher displacement than the senior.
When you get in a foreign car, you hear the sound of a madman.
But this is a foreign country.
In Australia, the most important thing is myself.
“Am I avoiding other people when I drive a Ferrari?”
“It’s not necessarily like that, but why are there other foreigners and it can be misunderstood? Koreans are rich. It’s a rich country. Something like that.”
“Well, no one on our line said that.”
“You don’t have to say it out loud.”
I looked at him once and turned my head to glance at Kim Ha-min.
Why do you think the two are related?
“Either way or not, I don’t like it unless it harms others. Just think of it as a foreign car. Everyone drives a foreign car. Toyota, Volkswagen, Chevrolet, etc.”
Kim Ha-min said he was offended by my words.
“Are those cars and Ferraris the same? If you pull them out of the factory and get hit or scratched with other cars? What’s wrong with that person?”
“What’s the crime? It’s pounding and scratching.”
“It’s easy to say. Are you afraid to park next to the car?”
“Are there idiots who don’t know that Ferrari is a supercar? If you’re scared, you shouldn’t park next to it. It’s not like Korea doesn’t have enough parking spaces, and there’s plenty. Why do you park next to a Ferrari?”
“If you say it’s a borrowed car, who knows if it’s your car?”
Before, he sarcastic about bragging about money, but now it’s a borrowed car…
“It’s mine.”
“What?”
Everyone’s eyes, including Kim Ha-min, are on me.
“Brother. You said it was a borrowed car?”
Jihyun asked in a confused tone.
“I thought there would be no useless rumors if it was a borrowed car. But I was wrong. If I had known that it was going to hit me from the front like this, I would say it as it is.”
“Hey, what are you going to hit in?! You’re trying not to feel uncomfortable with each other.”
“Isn’t it inconvenient to see only the hyungs?”
I turned my head and asked.
Subjects were friends younger than me, except for two people.
“Is it uncomfortable to see you too?”
“……”
I start to notice myself and Shin Jeong-hoon and Kim Ha-min.
What is this?
The act of staring at older people without voicing one’s own opinion.
Could this be mistaken for consideration for the other person? Or have you been pressed into a harsh atmosphere?
“Guys.”
“……”
Everyone looks at me with their upper and lower lips hidden in their mouths.
“If you’re out of the country, don’t play with potluck parties or anything like that. Let’s start with a little mind. What’s the difference between this and a pork belly party?”
