Chapter 75 – Chapter 75

It’s a sunset…
I’ve never felt that ah, that makes people emotional. Today, the sunset looks very faint.
As expected, it seems that my sensibility has been enriched lately.
I stare blankly at something like that…

“…”

As soon as I went to work at the host bar, I naturally leaned against the railing at the back door and tried to watch the sunset in the distance, but I had to take a step back from the sting in my palm.
Glancing at his right hand, he saw that the bandage was wrapped around him with a rough hand.
It wasn’t a wound to be dealt with to this extent, but it should have been done to calm Miho and Noah who were so surprised.

[Noah: Sorry.]

Noah sent such a message to Seonwoo Yerang.

[Sunwoo Yerang: It’s okay.]

Seonwoo Yerang sent a reply to Noah as he did.
After that, I called her separately and told her some of her Noah’s past her. In ways we can’t imagine, she’s been subjected to severe domestic violence…
And, of course, she said that it would not be easy for her to change Noah’s heart her, because she was the same person as her sister her.

‘Honestly, if it were me, she might have just given up.’

She was no other person, and if she was the incomparable Sunwoo Yeerang, she was even more like that.
Because I didn’t have to invest a lot of money here.

But she didn’t.

– I’ll try. I guess I should try to make Noah open up to me so that she can be a great mother of two, no, before that. You can’t get results without making any effort, right? That’s what applies even in games.

At that moment, I couldn’t help but see Seonwoo Yerang again.
Everyone knew she was great. With her coin her, she became one of the richest people in Korea.
However, as a person she… It was also the first time she felt great as a woman.

“I think it would be really nice if she could be my wife, the mother of the kids.”
-…

It was sincere.
She wanted to support Seonwoo Yerang, and furthermore, she thought there would be no result as good as her becoming the mother of these children.
However, Noah’s wounds her were deeper than she thought, and her doubts about whether or not this could be done with her personality her continued to linger in her mind her.

‘Whoa, nothing is easy.’

As I muttered to myself, I felt my chest.

[Mint Flavor Non Smoking Candy]

Fuck…
It sucks, but to be honest, without it, it would be so hard to get her to quit smoking on her own mental strength her.
In fact, there was one time in her sleep at dawn that I unknowingly put even wooden chopsticks in her mouth her and looked for a lighter.
In addition to that, when I ate a meal, went to the bathroom, or felt like I was under even a little bit of stress, my mouth would itchy and phlegm would build up in my throat.
In my head, the two letters “Cigarette” And its unique taste come to mind.

“Fuck, fuck. Let’s not move on to whether e-cigarettes are okay.”

E-cigarettes were cigarettes after all.
If you decide to hang up, just hang up cleanly.

It was nice to see the kids too.

‘It was damn easy to get into real cigarettes, but it’s damn hard to quit.’

It was said that it was really free to come in, but it was inconvenient to go out. I shouldn’t have smoked it when I was a student in the first place.

“Whoa!”

I let out a big sigh as I rolled the tasteless mint-flavored smoking candy in my mouth.
I didn’t want to show myself sighing at home, so I thought of taking a break here at least after going to work at the host bar.
In the first place, I didn’t even want to go to work today.

“That bastard’s new manager…”
“What did you say?”

I was started.
When I looked to the side, the store manager, whose arrival I didn’t know when, was holding a cigarette in his mouth with his hands in his pockets.

… Damn, that looks so fucking delicious

As for how delicious it looks, it looked so delicious that a drop of cold sweat flowed down my forehead.

“I just wanted to show up at the host bar because the manager invited me.”
“Young…Even if it is in a place where no one else sees it, it is better to refrain from gossiping. Birds listen to daytime words, and mice listen to nighttime words.”
“I know.”
“Yes, the saying goes, you know more than you think. That’s what I said. In the first place, you bastard, you agreed to clean for several months as a condition of returning to the host bar, but you never did it except for the first day.”

「Flicker!」

I couldn’t bear to deny it.

“Well, I didn’t really ask you to do it every day, you have your job, anyway, so I just skipped it because nominations and seats were coming in. Still, sometimes you have to it is, whatever you don’t have a very good image in Valentia right now.”
“Yes.”
“There are still a lot of hosts who are dissatisfied with you. Even if it’s not that, there’s no choice but to be jealous of you with just one person with Seonwooye.”
“I see…”

If it were me in the past, I would have given a sarcastic answer to the store manager’s sincere advice. All the jealous bastards are losers, and they say that because they don’t have the ability, they can only be ugly and jealous.
However, it is different now.
Above all, Seonwoo Yerang was a good woman who deserved jealousy.

“Well…”

Gi-pyo Ahn, who was groping his chest for a lighter, glanced at me, then took the cigarette he was holding in his mouth and carefully put it back into the cigarette pack.

“… Aren’t you tired?”

As the cigarette disappeared in front of her eyes, she seemed barely alive.
Even when she thought she was doing well somehow, when she saw a cigarette right in front of her eyes her, the temptation was enormous. This is why the temptation in front of you is scary.

“Crazy bastard, there’s a kid next to me who sucks on non-smoking candy and works so damn hard. Where is the adult smoking a cigarette next to him?”

Although I was furious at the word child.

“The store manager seems to be a real adult.”

I feel it every time I see her, and Ki-pyo Ahn is a ‘real adult’ unlike other guys who are only old now.
Should I say that I admire it in many ways?
I feel that this is a skill or composure that comes from years of experience.

“To you, I will look like an adult. How many years have you passed the age of twenty? There are a lot of things you don’t know if you haven’t been to the military. It’s not for nothing that many people give preferential treatment to military pencils. Even if you go to the army now, you will learn a lot of things.”
“…”
“When you first came out here…”

Ahn Gi-pyo said, after a small sigh, she said.

“… I thought I would have just gone to the army, came to my senses, and gone a different way. There was something I wished for.”
“Why?”
“Because it’s not too late. You stupid bastard, it’s not too late. Honestly, if I had known you had changed this much, I might not have accepted you back at the host bar.”

That’s a bit difficult

“Does this job look good to you now? Drinking expensive alcohol for free, and sometimes even getting paid for having sex with pretty girls. Looks good?”
“…”

In the past, I would have nodded my head proudly.
Where can I find a job like this?

Drinking, hanging out with women and getting paid…
There are many men who pay money to drink and have sex with women, but we say the exact opposite. He would have proudly boasted that being a host is the best job, as if it were the correct answer.
But now I couldn’t bear to agree unconditionally with him.

“Time is scary, Hyeonu.”
“…”
“Since I was in high school, I don’t worry about when I’m already 30 years old. At most, they would be vaguely concerned about getting a job. But are you there?”

Ahn Ki-pyo said.

“I’m getting older by one or two. Unlike when it’s not too late for others to see, by the time you console yourself that it’s not too late, it’s already too late.”
“…”
“25 years old, 30 years old… Even then, the only ones who can say that it’s not too late are the idiots who, after all, would have succeeded no matter what they did. Even if you measure it as a percentage, it’s not even 1 percent. Most of them are already late. Do you know why?”
“…”
“Because when we are just wandering around to get to that age, there are people who made an effort. So, many people regret belatedly hit the ground when the time comes. Even now there is no way back, no way out.”

He said tsk, clicking his tongue.

“In that sense, you are still not too late. Why don’t you quit the host bar and go to a 2-year university and seriously think about your future?”

It was a very helpful advice and suggestion.
If it weren’t for Miho and Noah, I’d accept that offer right away… In the future, he might have come to Ahn Ki-pyo wearing a stylish suit and offered him a drink saying that he was a benefactor.

If it was me in the past, I would have been annoyed by saying that all these things were ‘old-fashioned’, but now I think I understand.

There are not many people in the world who can sincerely and truly say something helpful to me.
Oh, of course, it’s advice, but I still think that saying something that doesn’t make sense is like an old man or a drunkard.

“Thank you. I’ll think about it.”

If a good opportunity came to me, I had thoughts of doing it. I didn’t want to see my kids go to elementary school and answer ‘host’ or ‘night shift’ to a question about what their parent’s job was.

However, right now I needed money to raise my children.
I lacked the ability I had.

As Ahn Gi-pyo said, he could not afford to go to a junior college and receive education, and even taking his eyes off the children was uneasy.

Not yet.
As of right now, there was nothing like a host.

“Okay.”

Ahn Ki-pyo calmly nodded his head.
I can’t thank you so much for that.
If I had to insist more, or if I showed signs of disappointment to some extent, I would have noticed and furthermore, I could have been offended.

He was a man who really stood firm on the line.
Besides, he had a wide field of vision and was sure to look after himself as a person in charge.

“How did your hand get like that?”
“Oh, just… Eh, well, something like that happened. I didn’t hit anyone or anything.”

I honestly wanted to hit him.
If there were bastards who bullied Miho and Noah right in front of me, I would have punched them so that their faces would be crushed right away.

“If it hurts a lot, just go. Ha, if you were hurt, you should have said it when I called you in the first place, bastard.”
“No, it’s not that painful. It’s not even a big wound.”
“Okay? Then clean up.”

It’s the moment I nod and am about to suck the mop.

“Hyunwoo.”
“Yes?”
“Life is such a difficult thing even when you are as old as my father. So take it slow. I don’t know what you’re doing, take your time. If anyone tries to climb the stairs all at once, they slowly start to break down behind the scenes, and eventually break.”

For a moment, it was hot.
It was as if my mind had been read, and more than anything else, I brought out the word ‘Father’ at this time.

‘Slow down… Slowly, from what I can…’

Now, what can I do right now?
That is the first thing you should do for your children. It was something that somehow, anyone could have a new encounter.
At that moment, a person came into my mind.

“Thank you, manager! I’ll be leaving work here today!”
“What? No!”

Ahn Gi-pyo muttered softly as he watched me walk away.

“… I have to clean it, chew. “

Apparently, in the end, ironically, Nomaeguk did it instead of me to clean the bathroom that day.
