Chapter 11 – Episode 11. Vacation and Part-Time Work

After having lunch with Si-eun, I returned to my room.

After that, I spent my time rolling around in bed.

I received a call from her friends asking me to come out, but I didn’t want to go out because I was able to give Su-ah a ‘massage’ for the first time in a long time this evening.
After sending a short text message saying I’ll see you later, I spent some time rolling around in bed again.

Time passed and evening arrived, and again today, Si-hyeon and Si-eun had dinner with her sisters.
Sihyeon seemed to be strangely paying attention to me since the last time she got a ‘massage’.
Did you feel something strange? I felt like I needed to talk to Sihyeon alone.

“Oppa, will you stay home with me during vacation?”

Si-eun stopped eating and asked about my schedule.

“Hmm, I guess I’ll probably study or work part-time?”

“Al… Ba? No!”

Si-eun stopped eating and looked at me and screamed.

Si-hyeon and I looked at Si-eun with puzzled faces.

Then Si-eun started whispering something into her Si-hyeon’s ear.
Every time Si-eun spoke, Si-hyeon’s eyes began to shake rapidly.

“Is it really necessary to go out?”

… What did you say?

In that short period of time, Si-eun must have been able to persuade Si-hyeon, and Si-hyeon also began to oppose my leaving.
At a rough guess, I think it was probably due to an incident where a part-timer I had become close with while working part-time in the past was stalking me.

“If you want to get a part-time job, please help me as an assistant!”

“Si-eun, you don’t normally use words. And what do you think I know about drawing?”

Si-eun seemed to be drawing a webtoon at her home. The reason she couldn’t say anything was because she didn’t see herself working properly.
She saw something being drawn, but she couldn’t check it because she would quickly lower the screen and cover it when she was working.
When she asked, she seemed embarrassed or trying to hide it, so she didn’t bother to ask.

Still, it seemed like she was doing her job properly, as she was talking on the phone with an editor.

… She seemed to be playing more games, but she didn’t seem to have an editor come to her house, so she must be meeting deadlines.

She could only guess so.

I also read a few webtoons, but watching them and drawing them were completely different problems. There was no way I, who had no knowledge of drawing, could do the job of an assistant.

However, Si-eun spread her heart out and started explaining the job of an assistant, saying that I could also do the job as an assistant.

“A fisherman’s job is simple! All you have to do is feed me, clothe me, and put me to sleep!”

“Isn’t that the nanny, not the assistant?”

“You are helping me with my life!”

“No, feeding it is one thing, but what is clothing it and putting it to sleep? Are you a child?”

“Mite!”

“…”

When Si-eun was at a loss for words for a moment, the front door opened and Su-a came into the living room.
I asked Su-ah, who came home from work earlier than usual, feeling puzzled.

“Huh? You came early today?”

“Yeah. I asked my part-timer to finish the evening today and came a little early.”

Su-ah looked very tired.

He must have been very tired, so he didn’t even go into his room and just sprawled out on the living room sofa.

“You look like you’re having a hard time. What’s going on?”

“It’s a bit difficult trying to open the business on my own because my morning job suddenly quit… I need to find a morning part-time job quickly.”

Su-a’s older sister ran a small café.

Su-a’s older sister gave birth to Si-hyeon and Si-eun when she was young, and she started working when she was in college.
From then on, she gradually saved money and considered various jobs, but she decided to open her own café, taking advantage of her previous experience working part-time at a café and working her way up to manager.

It wasn’t that big, and the land was expensive, so it couldn’t be opened near a downtown area, but customers came to know it, perhaps thanks to the clean and cozy interior.

I also visited Sua’s café a few times. Most of the customers at her cafés were women or couples, but unusually, there were quite a few customers at Sua’s café who were only men.

… It seemed like she was probably a guest who came because she was bewitched by Sister Su-ah.
There were a few times when she tried to get the number of Su-ah, who was looking at her counter, only to be rejected by her with a troubled smile.

Seeing that Su-a was having a hard time, she originally planned to study during her vacation, but she thought it would be a good idea to work part-time at Su-a’s store.
She thought it would be okay if she had more time after her part-time job or during the semester.

“Then shall I go to work in the morning?”

“Huh? Sunwoo, you?”

Su-a’s sister seemed to be surprised because she didn’t expect it.

“Are you okay?”

“Yes, but I’ve never worked part-time at a café. Would that be okay?”

Although she had worked a few part-time jobs, she had only done simple part-time jobs such as serving at convenience stores or restaurants.
If she worked at a café, she would have to make coffee and drinks, and she was worried that she would be a burden to Su-ah.
But Su-a gave me a warm smile that melted my worries.

“Everyone has a first time. If you are good at cooking, you will learn quickly.”

Si-hyeon also did not object to working at Su-a’s sister’s store.

Just before Su-ah’s sister was confirmed to go to work at the store, Si-eun intervened.

“Oh! Mom took my teacher away!”

“… What do you mean by that?”

“No, you don’t need it.”

“Hing.”

Si-eun had a glum face, perhaps because she was truly looking forward to it.

“… But we can still have lunch together, right?”

In response to Si-eun’s question, I looked at Su-a, not knowing what time it was to finish work.

Sister Su-a spoke with a slightly troubled look on her face.

“I change shift at 1 o’clock, so it will be around 1:30 or 2 o’clock when I get home…”

“I don’t mind having lunch a little late!”

Perhaps because she was afraid that I might reject her, Si-eun answered sharply.

“Yes, Si-eun, as long as it’s okay with you.”

“Yes! I’ll wait! Do you have to come quickly?”

After finally reaching a compromise with Si-eun, she decided to go to work at Su-ah’s store.

**

She opened her eyes early in the morning.
Last night, I tried to give Su-ah a ‘massage’, but she looked so tired that I gave her a wholesome massage and returned to my room.
Maybe that’s why I felt lighter for the first time in a long time.

I went down to the first floor and was preparing breakfast when Sihyeon and Sua came out.

Si-hyeon left first, saying he had to go early again today, and only my sister and I, Su-a and I, prepared a little more slowly and came out.

When I went up to the second floor, washed up, got ready, and came down, I saw the back of Su-ah waiting for me at the entrance.

Since she didn’t get a ‘massage’ yesterday, she hugged Su-ah’s body from behind to give her a light massage in the morning.

“Oh my, you were surprised. Are you planning on giving me a message today too?

“Yes.”

It’s been a while since I had a morning massage, but I wasn’t too surprised today because I remembered the massage I had last time.

I moved my hands around Su-ah’s soft body to my heart’s content.
Today, instead of one hand going up and down, both hands moved together.

He gently lifted her breasts with both hands, feeling their weight and lightly squeezing the full breasts in her hands.

I felt a soft texture that couldn’t be hidden even with a hard bra.

She stroked her breasts with her palms and used her fingers to scratch where her nipples were.

“Hmm…”

I just gently touched her breasts, and a passionate sigh escaped from Su-ah.

Her hands, which had been touching her breasts, now moved down to her lower abdomen.
He applied force to her middle and ring fingers and pressed her bulging lower abdomen as if drawing a circle.

“Ugh…”

When I tested her in the past, it seemed like Su-a liked the uterine massage that pressed her lower abdomen like this.

She liked the circular rubbing, but she also liked the massage that felt like lifting the uterus from below.
As she switched between the two, Su-a’s face suddenly turned red.

Even without seeing or touching her, I could tell that she was probably a little wet underneath.

She hadn’t yet massaged her most important part, but she felt like if she did anymore, she would be late for work, and her sister Su-ah’s underwear would get soaked, so she pulled her hand away.

“Huh.?”

Su-a looked at me with her slightly hazy face.

“You have to go to work now.”

“Oh.? Uh. Okay, I should go.”

Su-a blinked her eyes a few times and came to her senses. She looked a little regretful, but she couldn’t help it. When I opened her front door first and went out, Su-ah followed behind me, slightly cupping her thighs and walking hesitantly.

I took Su-ah’s car to her café.

Although she had a driver’s license, it was a dresser’s license, so Su-ah’s sister did the driving.

We talked about various things on the way to work at the café.

Then, a thought suddenly occurred to her, and she asked Su-ah a question.

“But what should I call you in the store?”

“Well, call me whatever you want, Sunwoo.”

“No matter what, if I call you too casually, wouldn’t it be a bit uncomfortable? Should I call you boss in moderation?”

“Hehe, do whatever you want. Then, if you could call me comfortably, how did you plan to call me?”

“Aunt or mom.?”

She jokingly called her mom, but her older sister Su-ah’s reaction was bigger than she expected.
Su-ah seemed to have forgotten she was driving and turned her head towards me.

“Ah, ahead! You have to look ahead!”

“Ah.! Look at my mind.”

Just like that, the story about the title passed in vain.

We talked some more after that, but it wasn’t as amicable as before.

Does she hate it when I call her mom because it makes her feel older?

After thinking about it the whole way, I finally got out of the car and apologized to Su-ah.

“I was sorry earlier.”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“I said aunt or mother earlier. I was a bit insensitive.”

“Huh? It’s not like that. Rather.”

Su-a said something louder later, but she couldn’t hear it clearly. I was about to listen to her voice, but Su-ah’s sister suddenly spoke up! She did, and she clapped, and she said.

“We need to prepare for opening quickly!”

“Oh, yes.”

We opened the café door and entered and started preparing to open.

Su-a looked busy turning on her POS machine and preheating the coffee machine.
I followed him around, writing down what I had to do during the opening and trying to memorize it.

After that, she finished preparing for her opening by cleaning the hall and tables.

As soon as the preparations were completed, and the store door was opened, several customers came in. Those people exchanged warm greetings with Su-a, probably because they were her regulars.

“Hello, boss~ Oh, but I think this is your first time seeing part-time work today?”

“Yes, today is my first time.”

“Hello.”

I stood next to Su-a and greeted her guests. Sister Su-a whispered to me that she was someone who often came and that I should remember her.

At first there were only a few customers, but as time went by, the place started to get busier. Fortunately, I had used the POS machine a few times while working other part-time jobs, so I quickly got used to it and was able to take orders.

However, it was entirely up to Su-ah to make her drinks.
I took orders, served her customers, and Su-ah made the drinks. The busy time passed without much notice.

After some time passed, the number of customers decreased, and I had more time.

“Still, today went by a bit more comfortably thanks to Seonwoo.”

“Wow, how did you do this all by yourself?”

Sister Su-ah smiled lightly instead.

“Seonwoo, was it hard? Would you like some coffee?”

“You did all the hard work. Oh, can I try making coffee for practice?”

“Do you want to?”

She went to the coffee machine to make her first cup of coffee. I was nervous because it was my first time going down.

There was a manual written down, and I had watched Su-ah get off a few times before, so I got used to it, but I still felt nervous.

“Then, would you like to make the most basic Americano?”

“Yes.”

I removed the filter from the machine and wiped it cleanly to remove any moisture. Afterward, she took out the ground coffee from the grinder. I spread the powder by lightly tapping it with my hand, then pressed the top with a temperer to remove the air and make it flat for easy extraction.

Finally, I put the filter back into the espresso machine and extracted the coffee.

The fragrant scent of coffee tickled my nose along with the humming noise of the machine.

After a while, the espresso extracted from the coffee beans began to fill the small cup.

Lastly, I made Americano by adding espresso to water.

“Whoa…”

Even though it was an uneventful task, I was very nervous, perhaps because it was my first time doing it.

When Sua looked at the finished Americano, she clapped and praised it.

“Oh, as expected, Sunwoo. Are you good at it? It would be okay to move on to another drink right away.”

After that, she learned about not only coffee but also various beverages under the guidance of Su-a.
Just listening to the various recipes drove her crazy.

“This is the end! How do you feel? Is it worth it?”

“… I haven’t even memorized the recipe yet?”

“Hehe, it’s natural since it’s your first time. But I’m sure Sunwoo will be able to do it quickly.”

My shoulders were heavy with the expectations of Su-ah, who gave me infinite trust.
She memorized the recipe by reading it over and over again.

… At the same time, she looked at the structure inside her store.
Where is it difficult to see from the entrance and where is CCTV installed?

If I had this much free time, I thought I could have some deep skinship with Su-ah alone inside the store.

However, it is difficult to touch the inside of clothes without scented candles…

‘Oh right. I even used up the scented candles. I’ll stop by later when I get home.’

While she was memorizing the recipe and thinking about random things, it was lunchtime, and she had no time left as she was busy taking orders from people, so she worked frantically and got home from work.
