＜Episode 2＞ Interview and First Cooking
“So… … . I made money by investing in this and that. Cleaning, washing and cooking were cumbersome. So, I posted a job announcement. Are you talking about this?”
“Um, right.”
First, she brought Si-eun inside, and then explained the situation.
I’ve only told one of my friends that I made a lot of money. This is how the second happened. I’ve been trying to avoid rumors if possible.
Si-eun, who was stroking her chin and contemplating the story, nodded her head immediately.
“Even during lectures, I was just tapping my laptop. It was always something else.”
“Because investing is something you will regret for the rest of your life if you miss the original moment.”
“okay? … … Well, since I said I made a lot of money, you know it well.”
That’s a cool answer
When she came for a part-time job interview, Si-eun did not show any embarrassment at all, despite the fact that her employer was from the same department. On the contrary, it was more embarrassing for me.
Noticing his gaze, Si-eun opened her mouth.
“why?”
“No, what. I came here for an interview, so I didn’t want to think about it because there are people from the same school.”
“it’s okay. I was a little worried because it was someone I knew. It doesn’t really matter.”
“I don’t know if I have anything to do with it… … ?”
Of course it’s fine. rather good You might ask what announcements were made during the lecture.
I only had one question. Ask without making eye contact.
“Why are you doing this part-time job?”
“Isn’t that what the recruiter would say?”
“Even so, what is that… … .”
After arranging my words for a while.
“You studied hard and served as the student body president. And it seems like a lot of people know him. Anyway, I know you’re busy with this and that.”
Si-eun had a look of dismay.
“How do you know all that?”
“We are in the same department and in the same grade, but we pick up on this level.”
That’s what I said, but strictly speaking, it’s a little different.
It is true that the department and grade level are the same, but before that, Si-eun is a famous woman in the whole school. Mainly thanks to his looks and body and his unique affinity.
Rumors also circulated that he purposely attracted male students. If this kind of thing can be heard even in my ears, the assassin, it wouldn’t be at any level.
Si-eun lowered her eyes onto the table and answered.
“Even though I’m busy, I can’t help it. Because I need money.”
“Need money?”
“okay. Your mother is ill.”
It was a serious conversation.
“Also, my father died when I was young. Then I have no choice but to make money. Originally, I would have taken a leave of absence. My mother is against it, so I have no choice but to keep going.”
It seemed like he was enjoying his school life.
Si-eun continued explaining as if she had even read the truth from my eyes.
“I have to get a job right after graduation, so I’m accumulating as much specs as possible right now. If you study well, you will get a scholarship. Information is important to getting a job, so I meet a lot of people. People you know buy you food, so you can save money on food as well.”
“… … .”
“What do you think it is? think as you like I know it’s all stupid. But now, I have to earn as much as I can and spend as little as possible, and pay for my treatment.”
“Well.”
I never looked down on it as a beggar.
It just occurred to me that he was the exact opposite of me.

My family was also very poor when I was young.But unlike Si-eun, I grew up. From a young age until now, dating people has always been difficult.
Instead, it was much more fun to fiddle with a computer that didn’t even play a game. It was fun to predict how the graph would bend.
So, I gave up getting to know people. It made me a lot of money, but I still only had one friend.
On the other hand, Si-eun did not get discouraged even in a difficult situation and tried to break through the front. It must have been a huge difference.
Si-eun’s story continued.
“So I kept looking for a part-time job and came across your post. This part-time job is 500 per month. I’m glad I found it as soon as I got up.”
“but. When I saw the application, it looked like it had been pasted.”
“I made a copy and waited for honey to come out.”
Are you?
“Besides, it was also said to be provided with lodging and meals. This is a dream job.”
“Um, what… … . uh?”
“why?”
Si-eun tilted her head.
Looking back, I didn’t check the provision of room and board when writing the part-time job recruitment letter.
There are a lot of empty rooms, and I have to pay for the food and ingredients. So, we can provide lodging and meals if necessary. This was the intention.
But the person who will come in as a housekeeper is a woman from the same department, so he’s a bit arrogant about his dick.
“No, no.”
It’s annoying to come here and recruit new ones. During that time, I studied investment. We’re going to use different rooms anyway, so basically it doesn’t matter.
For me, it was more surprising that Si-eun didn’t care.
“Are you okay?”
“what?”
“You live in the same house as me.”
“what. Is that the sound?”
Si-eun smiled brightly and then.
“it’s okay. From your usual behavior, it doesn’t look like you’re going to be in trouble. I’m always tapping on my laptop.”
“Ugh.”
This is a compliment… … will not be Perhaps they see me as a hogu. But it was 100% correct, so there was no room for objection. have to be patient
“therefore? What are you going to do?”
Si-eun narrowed her eyes and asked.
“pass… … is it?”
It was a question of earnestness, as if he did not want to miss this opportunity.
When a person of the opposite s*x from the same school, the same department, and the same grade said that he wanted to live as a housekeeper. How do ordinary people react?
Trying to find another part-timer may be a common choice. If you say no because it’s a burden, Si-eun won’t have anything to say.
But I am different.
The reason is simple. because it’s annoying
“Well, yes. pass.”
“… … yes. thank you.”
As soon as she heard my answer, Si-eun got up from her seat.
“When can I start working? Haven’t decided yet? Oh, is it okay if I send my luggage in advance by courier? I will be preparing to move from tomorrow.”
“there.”
“why?”
Si-eun tilted her head expressionlessly.
I’m sorry, but I think I’m going to have to say something really bad.
“If possible.”
“yes.”
“I wish I could make it for lunch today… … .”
“What?”
Seeing Si-eun who was speechless and asked, I regretted having accepted Si-eun, even though it was a little bit.

“what’s this?”
It was Si-eun’s first words when she opened the refrigerator.
It was a natural reaction. Because there was nothing in the refrigerator. Not a metaphor, nothing really existed.
When Si-eun heard that she wanted lunch to be prepared, she smiled as if it was absurd.
But he did not refuse. Rather, “Okay.” and readily agreed.
“Since I passed, it’s a job from now on. You have to do whatever you ask.”
“okay. Thank you.”
“Can I just make up with the ingredients in the refrigerator?”
After that, Si-eun opened the refrigerator without even letting it dry. The refrigerator was surprisingly empty.
As a result, we have come to this situation.
“I am not at this level without money. Do you even have money? But why does the refrigerator look like this?”
“There are unavoidable circumstances.”
“circumstances? What?”
“It’s annoying.”
Si-eun’s eyes fly away. As a person who has been living as an Asa for over 20 years, I had no talent to overcome it. He couldn’t stand it and avoided his gaze.
“What did you eat yesterday?”
“Cup ramen.”
“Then what?”
“Cup ramen.”
“I must have ate cup noodles the day before.”
“no.”
“then?”
“… … If it’s a bag.”
Si-eun let out a short sigh in response to my answer.
There is no other food as great as ramen. It’s a dish made by smart scholars with their heads wrapped around. it must be delicious
Besides, even if it’s delivered, it takes tens of minutes, but ramen is done in a few minutes. Ramen is the only food that is so easy and delicious.
I wanted to give this kind of rebuttal, but I decided to just shut my mouth.
Soon after, a rustling sound was heard from Si-eun’s side.
When I looked up, I saw that Si-eun was opening a cupboard with seasonings and cooking utensils.
“All I have is red pepper powder and a pot. Rather, it’s interesting to have this.”
“I need it to make ramen.”
“I would.”
Si-eun nodded her head as if resigning, then raised her face.
“Now what? Without ingredients and tools, no one in the world can cook.”
“Uh, uh, what is it? If you go to the mart right in front of you and buy it, you can pay later… … .”
“I’m sorry… … I don’t have the money for that.”
Well, that’s right.
“It’s something we will use in this house in the first place. Wouldn’t it be better for the landlord to go together and choose?”
Si-eun said so and closed the cupboard door.
That sounds right. When Si-eun quits her job, it all becomes my thing.
In addition, he is not very happy about handing the card to the part-timer selected today. It was right in many ways to go together and choose and calculate.
Just if there is a problem.
When I say go and choose together, doesn’t it mean that I also have to go out soon… … .
I hired him to reduce the hassle, but the hump stuck again. I’ll just eat ramen.
But, what. It will be comfortable for a while if you hold on to it this time.
“okay.”

Many generations live in large apartments. The best shopping district where consumers with purchasing power are concentrated. That’s probably the mart in the apartment complex.Would you like to invest in a place like this in the future?
“What are you thinking about?”
Si-eun, who was walking a few steps ahead, turned her face and asked.
“I was debating whether to buy one or not.”
“It looks like you have a lot of motivation when you get out of the house. What do you want to eat?”
“no. I was debating whether to buy E-Mart stocks or not.”
“My scale is so different… … .”
Si-eun muttered while pressing her temples firmly.
Anyway, we entered the mart.
Is it because it’s Sunday? There were many people in the supermarket.
On one side, a couple and a small child are pulling a cart together, and on the other side are two men who look like a young couple carrying baskets.
Si-eun naturally took out a shopping cart and started pushing it. It seemed like he was trying to push himself to the food corner, the destination.
I’m sorry that I feel like I’m leaving it all to someone else. I quickly walked over and tried to push the cart, but Si-eun tilted her head.
“why?”
“I feel like I’m just doing it too much.”
“How about just doing it? It’s all about making money. I don’t mind if I do more.”
He responds with a small smile. It’s cool anyway I don’t think this was the case at school.
As I was trying to hold a brief impression, I arrived at the food corner.
Frozen food was piled up in front. Seasonings are on the left, and vegetables or meat are on the right. As you can see, it was a very spacious and large supermarket.
However, Si-eun, who grabbed the cart, for some reason did not intend to move. It hardens as if it were ice, and it does not move.
What’s going on?
“I thought that was the seasoning.”
“… … .”
Even when I talked to him, he was silent.
I wondered why he was like this and looked up, but Si-eun’s eyes were fixed somewhere. I followed that gaze and moved my gaze, there was an old lady baking dumplings.
In short, it’s a tasting corner.
“If you want to eat, eat one.”
Si-eun was startled for a moment at the word that was thrown, and then raised her eyebrows.
“I don’t want to eat.”
“Or let’s go. Time is money.”
“okay.”
Si-eun responds without hesitation. But his eyes rolled towards the dumplings again. The footsteps were still stopped.
“Just eat one and come.”
“… … I don’t see it because I want to eat it.”
what do you mean
done. Because I like dumplings too. Frozen food is a dish made by smart people at a food company. it’s bound to be delicious I can’t beat ramen.
I opened the small freezer next to the tasting corner and put a pack of dumplings into the cart. Perhaps this was unexpected, Si-eun looked at me in surprise.
I’m afraid, so I hope you don’t see it.
“Let’s go.”
He teased his mouth to break the mysterious atmosphere. Si-eun seemed to have something to say, but soon pushed the cart and took the lead again.
“Is there any food you want to eat?”
“anything.”
“Then what’s your favorite food?”
“Ramen?”
“You can just boil it and eat it.”
“Yes… … .”
It was such a good point, there was nothing to return it to.
Si-eun smirked as she regained her appetite.
“You are very special. So, did you make a lot of money?”
After Si-eun blew her nose.
“done. Then I will make what I want to make.”
With these words, various food ingredients began to be put into the cart.
From spices to various vegetables and meat. As I watched the carts filled with various ingredients, I thought in my heart that I had done a good job of finding a housekeeper.

It was only after I bought the cooking utensils that the shopping was over.
It was already past lunch time. If I cook from now on, I think it will be lunch and dinner.
That prediction was not wrong. As I was holding on to the rumbling boat, Si-eun called me after about an hour.
When I went out to the kitchen, a sumptuous dinner was laid out on the table.
Sundubu Jjigae in Jeyuk Stir-fry. A variety of pickled vegetables and fried eggs.
How long has it been since you had a meal like this? Even the memory was fading.
“You look good at cooking.”
“How do you know without trying it? … … be confident I’ve been doing it a lot since a long time ago.”
is it.
Si-eun said that her father passed away early. Mother couldn’t have been always at home. I must have learned to cook from an early age.
Si-eun sat down across from Si-eun as she nodded inwardly and sat down.
“Uh, do you want to eat together?”
“why? Don’t you want to be humble?”
“no. If you eat together, you will feel uncomfortable.”
“It’s better to eat one at a time and take it out at once.”
What I heard was right.
He bowed his head slightly, thanked him, and picked up his chopsticks. Let’s try the Jeyuk Stir-fry first. He reached out to pick up the meat and put it in his mouth.
well water. Taste it for a moment.
“What do you think?”
His eyes flew over with a bit of anticipation. Even if you are confident in your cooking skills, it is not uncommon for others to evaluate you.
After chewing all the meat, he opened his mouth.
“It’s delicious.”
“right?”
Huh, huh, huh, Si-eun smiled a little.
To be honest, it was delicious food. As a person who always put only ramen and oily delivery food, I was able to empty a few bowls of rice in one sitting.
At that moment, Si-eun also picked up chopsticks. Then he ate the Jeyuk-bokkeum that he made.
“Um, this is it!”
He put one hand on his cheek and smiled happily.
It’s like chewing a lemon. In fact, I couldn’t take my eyes off the tasting corner. I might not have been able to eat a proper meal on a regular basis.
Looking at that face and trying to be immersed in various thoughts, his eyes met Si-eun. Si-eun, who was shaking as if thinking of my existence now, went into control of her expression.
“Anyway, is it okay to do it this way?”
Si-eun asked in a clear voice.
“Well, I guess that’s it. The food is also delicious. Ummm, this is it! as much as you want.”
“Can I just hit one?”
I didn’t want to get hit, so I quickly looked away. sorry.
“When can I start working?”
Si-eun asked if she accepted my apology with a slightly sullen tone.
“Because you need to be prepared. Come on Friday night. Next time you come, all you have to do is cook, clean and do laundry. I will order the washing machine and vacuum cleaner today. Oh, and send your luggage by courier. You can bring it yourself.”
“okay.”
Si-eun replied with a rude tone. It is very different from the way I ate Jeyuk-bokkeum before.
I gently lifted my head and Si-eun met my eyes.
“Good luck in the future.”
“Well, yes.”
When I answered while avoiding my gaze again, I heard a squeak and a laugh from the other side.
