Chapter 19 – First Part-Time Job in Life

Oh, trembling, trembling.
I am realizing what is scary through the first part-time job in my life.

“The scariest thing is before I go to work.”

Yesterday was like that too.
I was scared before going to the interview, but it was fine after the interview or when I went inside the cafe.
I realize again that making friends with strangers is not an easy task.

How do celebrities do things like this all the time?

[Strawberry Cafe]

“Whoa.”

After taking a deep breath, I entered the cafe 10 minutes earlier than the scheduled time.
Upon entering, I see two teams of customers sitting in the corner and Shin Seon-hee and Park Jun-ho relaxing at the counter washing dishes.

“Welcome… Oh, Donghyun. I’m here?”
“Hello. Sister. And my brother too.”
“Yes…”

Park Jun-ho nodded lightly, not even making eye contact with me, as if I was very uncomfortable.
But, I know what that feels like.
Because I was the same as Park Jun-ho until not too long ago.

‘After learning everything you will learn later, the two of you will work together anyway…… Then I should treat him like a big brother.’

Even though it’s the law that Chinta hates Chinta.
Even so, it was a law not to look down on someone who had done nothing wrong or take it lightly.

“For now, follow me. I was still waiting for you So, shall we start training? Please look at the counter for a second, oppa.”
“Yea, I got it.”

…… Still, that hyung also seems to be a man.

Look at how pretty Shin Seon-hee asks for it, and she answers with a smile.
Well, it’s inevitable that a man likes a woman.

“I will study hard!”
“Yeah, I’m in good shape. Just looking at his appearance, I honestly wondered if he had a bit of a bully side.”
“Why?”
“Why is it, man?”

“Tak,” Shin Seon-hee laughed as she slapped my shoulder.

“You look good. Hey, kids these days are no joke. If a good-looking kid is polite, what will other people do?”
“…….”

Feeling ashamed of the unexpected direct praise, I blushed, and Shin Seon-hee said she was cuter and pinched my cheeks.

“Hey, with that face and that personality, women would have been eager to take him. How…… Do you have a girlfriend?”
“No, no.”
“Hey, that’s great. Did you stay?”
“No, it’s a co-educational school.”
“Eh?”

Shin Seon-hee tilted her head.

“A real legend. In a normal coed, there’s no way that smart girls or pretty kids would leave a guy like you alone.”
“Really?”
“Really! Hey, people say that a really good-looking guy is either an idol or someone else’s boyfriend. It’s that rare So, really good guys have been eaten by normal girls since they were in middle school and high school. Well, at least it was like that for me.”
“Sister, even if it is, there is only a 3 year age difference between me and me.”
“At three years old, man! I ate 1,000 more meals than you.”

It’s fun to have a conversation with a woman even if it’s not a big deal.
In the meantime, I saw Shin Seon-hee, who was handing me the cafe uniform, a ring on the ring finger of her left hand.

‘Ah…… You have a boyfriend.’

Well, Shin Seon-hee is pretty.
She was already a woman who was smart enough to take care of her future while working part-time.
She’s such an attractive woman that if she does n’t have a boyfriend it’s no longer that.

‘Sorry. I was a little hopeful that somehow I could do this and that with my older sister.’

Doesn’t that happen often when you watch manga or porn?
Like pretending to be a coincidence and having sex.

‘I’m not particularly fond of NTR either.’

Even though I did see it sometimes.

“Hey, what are you thinking? Concentrate, concentrate.”
“Oh, sorry.”
“Hey, look at this guy. You haven’t even started yet, but if you’re already out of your mind, wow! Thump!”

While smiling at the extremely cute Shin Seon-hee, I focused on following Shin Seon-hee’s handover her.

“Well, basically, there are only you and Junho oppa at the cafe. You probably make some coffee too.”
“Yeah, what is… Joe? Because it’s a cafe part-time job.”

I was able to apply without hesitation because I had the skills of a ‘barista’ in the first place.

“…… I heard you’ve never had coffee.”
“Yes, but not…….”
“If you don’t have one, where the hell does that confidence come from? Anyway, don’t worry too much. Making coffee isn’t that difficult. It’s because things that require a lot of hands are a bit annoying. You just have to make it according to the recipe.”
“Yes…”
“In the beginning, you organize the hall and then clean it! Finally get your order! I’ll probably focus on these. Umm, to be honest, Junho oppa isn’t good at making drinks either. But that doesn’t mean I can’t stay.”
“Why is your sister quitting her part-time job this time?”
“Yes? Ah, vacation is over, kid. I’m 23 years old and I’m in my fourth year of college, so I’ll have to work hard to prepare for a job soon. I’m going on a trip Originally, I was going to quit right at the end of vacation, but I couldn’t find the right person.”
“I think I will do a lot of support.”

Shin Seon-hee let out a small sigh.

“Stars of stars, idiots…… Ha, it was because there were a lot of sick people. I also felt it while working part-time, but there are a lot of star-studded idiots in the real world. Donghyun, I believe it will not be as good as you.”
“Haha… How long?”
“Fuck! I still can’t forget the faces of people who just jumped out while going to the bathroom. Is that all? I made a mistake taking an order, do you know what they say to me? ‘Ah, this job doesn’t suit me. I’ll quit. Please pay for the one-hour work.’Haha! To this day, I haven’t been able to get a single ToC wrong, and I remember it.”
“…….”

I honestly don’t believe it because I’ve never met such a person.
In fact, if there are people like that, I think it would give me goosebumps.

Isn’t it almost a psychopath?

‘No, is it possible to live a daily life with that mindset in the first place?’

It reminds me of the saying that there are a lot of idiots among the people passing casually on the street.

“Anyway, I’ll clean the hall for a while and then I’ll teach you when the customers leave. First of all, I learned how to take orders and familiarize myself with cafe menus. Dish wash… Is the first time, so I will teach you. Wash the dishes, can you?”
“Oh, of course. I do that much.”
“Sorry, I met so many strange people…… Sorry about what you cursed at earlier. It’s been the worst of my life. So, how do I get an order…….”

It was then.
Customers who had been drinking strawberry smoothies in the distance got up and approached the counter.

“Yes, how can I help… ” ….”

Even though Park Jun-ho quickly approached and spoke.

“Oh, I want someone over there to take your order.”
“No?”

…… Ironically, it was me that the two women showed interest in.

Shin Seon-hee, who saw that, smiled and said while poking my side with her elbow.

“It’s not okay, hey Donghyun. Take one order You can listen to what customers want, and check it out here at the counter.”
“Ah yes….”

I don’t feel bad.
To be honest, I felt sorry for Park Jun-ho this time, but I also felt a bit sorry for him.

“…….”

It was more like pretending to look at the phone with one hand, as if he didn’t care, and he slipped to the side before he knew it.

“Oh, we are. That injeolmi honey bread and red bean shaved ice…… Lastly, please smile! Wow!”
“Injeolmi Honey Bread, Palbingsu, and yes, yes?”
“Smile, smile. Oh, can’t you?”
“S, smile…… Oh no! There is nothing that can’t be done.”

Since I became handsome, I wonder if common sense has been distorted by the fall of a meteorite in the world I lived in.
Because I live a different life, I nodded my head in embarrassment.

“We will help you pay a total of 11,900 won. Including Smile.”
“Kyaaaaa! Good job, really oh, he’s really handsome thanks.”
“No…… Ah, my sister’s calculations.”
“Now press this, and now check whether the customer is paying in cash or by card. And membership points…….”

After completing the calculation, I let out a sigh of relief.
I was just a little scared to be honest.

How should I express this?
Should I say that I am being eaten with a different feeling from being beaten by Kim Hye-rin?

‘The women I know were never the kind of animals that would talk to a man first or make a fuss like that.’

I still remember
A long time ago, when I went out to the city by bus to watch a movie alone, the woman who bumped into her shoulder her with me cursed at her as ‘Mistress’.
It was early in the morning, so I took the elevator, but it was only me and two women, so I got on and off.
It’s bittersweet to think that it’s all because I’m ugly.

‘It reminds me of the advice from directors who said, ‘If you’re ugly, you should be in good shape.’

You were very right.

“First of all, honey bread and patbingsu aren’t products airlifted by the store manager like macarons or churros, right? So you should know a little bit about how to make it. It’s better for me to give you advice than for me to do this. Try making it yourself.”
“Ah yes! All right.”

Honestly, I wasn’t sure if I could do it, but I believed in ‘skill’.

[The ‘Cooking’ skill is being acquired.]

I don’t know how much power Lv1 is.

“First of all, cut the bread into 9 equal parts to make it easier to eat…….”

“Suck, evil!”

“Oh, you do better than you think. Did you do some cooking? Cutting bread is really neat, isn’t it?”
“I know, right.”
“What’s that? If someone sees it, they’ll know who’s doing it for them.”

No, it actually felt like that.
What should I do?
How to cut and how to continue cooking are generally seen and felt.
It’s not very clear, but at least this is enough to say that I have the basics of cooking anywhere I go.

‘Ha, that’s a fucking jackpot.’

Since I was born, the only thing I could cook was soy sauce egg rice and ramen, and I was doing the first time in my life without any problems.

“First, cook the bread until golden brown…… Then honey and butter…….”
“Wow, what is it? Even if you don’t teach me, you’ll do well! You jerk! Are you versatile?”
“Lastly, just sprinkle some injeolmi powder on top and it will be complete. Oh, before that, we should have red beans shaved ice together. Can we eat it hot or cold together?”
“Great! Is this really your first part-time job?”
“That… I will Although it is the first part-time job.”
“Bastard, even though he has a bit of a strange corner, his ability his is certain!”

And Shin Seon-hee continued to hit me with her elbow, just like she did earlier.
Isn’t this noona’s skinship too freewheeling even though she has a boyfriend?

Our chests touch slightly, and since we keep moving on this narrow counter, there are times when our bodies rub against each other.
Are you okay?

‘I wonder if this is the original personality…….’

While tilting my head, I rang the vibrating bell and handed the finished Injeolmi Honey Bread and Palbingsu to the customer.
Then, I gulped as I watched a customer walking to his seat with a tray in the distance.
First of all, I borrowed the power of the skill and made it roughly, but what if it doesn’t taste as good as it looks?

“Thumping, pounding!”

I held onto my beating heart as if it were a piece of bread that was being stamped over there, or ice from the shaved ice that was being scooped up, and watched it blankly.

“Hey, great!”
“Crazy, this is delicious. Hey, try this too.”
“How about red bean bingsu? You should try it too. Awesome, really. To be honest, I just ordered something roughly to see Smile. Why is it so delicious?”
“That’s what I mean, hey, this is really delicious. Best honey bread I’ve ever had.”
“Wow, real. The honey bread is also warm, so it’s delicious and soft.”

Yes!
Thank god.

‘Aren’t general life skills worse than I thought?’

It was great to be at least basic level or higher even if you just possessed it.
They are even selected with bronze coins.

‘Considering that at least 3 Bronze Coins came in for each quest…… It may not be useful for clearing dungeons, but it’s the most efficient in my current life.’

While I muttered so to my heart, another team of guests in the hall left.

“Hey, get those empty cups and bowls over there. And the table is unconditionally clean! Don’t forget to wipe it down thoroughly and put the chair back in its original position.”
“All right!”

That’s how I got used to working at a cafe little by little.
A message pops up before my eyes as if I had been waiting for it.

[Quest – Let’s taste the climax of joy to a lovely senior, was given.]
[Reward-3 Bronze Coins]

Fuck….
