Chapter 405 – Don’t Play Too Hard.
“It’s about getting a job.”
“Ah.”
When the story came out, my impression was written without knowing it. It was largely because I felt that it was still a distant story for me.
“That’s a bit too much to talk about now…”
“Now is the most suitable time, Jiheon.”
“Still, I’m still in my second year of college, and I haven’t been to the military yet. But I think it’s still too early to talk about that.”
“Jiheon.”
Mina did not immediately refute what I said.
“Jiheon, do you know how many times Jiheon has repeated the word yet?”
“Uh, no?”
“Repeat three times, Jiheon. Third time.”
Emphasizing by spreading her three fingers, she lowered her hand.
“Jiheon. I am an adult Jiheon now.”
“I’m a student now, though.”
“College students are adults too. This is the age at which you can have sex with other adults without any restrictions, as well as alcohol and tobacco, if consensual.”
“Yes. Yes.”
The feeling I feel now is similar to when I was nagging my parents. In addition, she was a little shocked when Mina, who had always followed me, preached according to her age.
“There are always restrictions on that kind of freedom. Jiheon is a student now, but she will be just an unemployed after she finishes school after serving in the army.”
“No, at that time I was not an unemployed person, but a job seeker.”
“Even if they are job seekers, they are just unemployed.”
“Ugh.”
“To be honest, this is not the time for Jiheon to play with us. Studying for certification or TOEIC is natural, but Jiheon decides what to live on first.”
Minah, who was talking like a waterfall, took a sip of her coffee and continued her words.
“So Jiheon, is there anything you want to do?”
“Oh, no.”
Even if I wanted to, I wasn’t in the mood to do it. Today I met Demon King, tomorrow I met Sehee, the next day Minah, some days we all together, other days with the two of us, and other days we have assignments. In addition, I was busy meeting Taeyeon from time to time.
I thought she was lascivious, but now I realize that she has been living without a plan for the future.
I’m regretting myself, but Mina said.
“So Jiheon.”
She held out her hand as if to grab it.
“Work under me.”
“Uh?”
“If you work part-time at my company from now on, it will be a spec when you officially get a job. That spec can be officially recognized in my career and recognized by people around me, even if Jiheon is my fiancé.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes. And that’s not all. In addition to full-time employees, performance bonuses, gym discount coupons, four major insurances, pensions, menstrual leave, and a 4-day work week can be guaranteed. I swear as the president, not Jiheon’s fiancée.”
I thought something was wrong, but my head couldn’t afford to think about it right now. Opportunities to get a job directly were rare in the midst of the unemployment crisis.
Honestly, if it hadn’t been for Mina’s next words, she would have taken her outstretched hand.
“And this is welfare only for Jiheon. Jiheon can have sex with me whenever he wants.”
“Is that welfare?!”
I immediately came to my senses and pointed out something strange among the words I had heard earlier.
“And why are you giving me menstruation leave?!”
“This company respects gender diversity.”
“Don’t lie!”
“Actually, I just plugged it in.”
“I knew it, really!”
I cried out in astonishment and calmed my excitement for a moment. Then I got to the point where I really needed to ask.
“So, do you want to work with me here?”
“There is that too.”
“What else?”
“I want to have sex with salaryman Jiheon on the way home from work.”
“Ah!”
“You don’t want to do Jiheon?”
“Uh, well, ha, it’s not that I don’t want to do it.”
I hated myself for not being able to say no. Anyway, I was going to get back to the original topic.
“But why are you saying that now? Even if you’re a sophomore in college right now, you still have some time left before you graduate.”
“You don’t remember?”
“Uh? What?”
“Last year, when Park Hae-seon was there.”
Haeseon, Mr. Pak. He was a man who arbitrarily mistook Mina for her fiancé and bullied her subordinates. She kicked me out of the company after the bad things she had done were exposed and I took advantage of sexual harassment as a weakness.
“But why is that person?”
“Didn’t I recommend it to Jiheon that day? What would it be like to work here?”
“Oh right.”
“… Could it be that you forgot?”
As if not knowing that, Mina frowned slightly on her face. I explained why I forgot about it in a hurry when I saw it.
“No, so many incidents happened that day, how do you remember?!”
Especially when Mina found out that she was sucking my things under her desk, it was so great. As a result, she forgot the offer she had received that day.
“It looks like I was the only one who remembered it for half a year.”
“… Sorry.”
She hated me so much for forgetting Minah’s proposal and spending half a year casually. And I felt so sorry for her.
“Sorry. It’s something I should have remembered.”
“No.”
“No, but,”
“No. It’s okay.”
Mina, who said that, seemed really okay. She let out a small sigh through her nose as if she couldn’t help it, and continued her speech.
“Last year Jiheon was a freshman, so he had to consider the case that he didn’t take getting a job very seriously. I was too complacent.”
“No, this was my fault.”
“It’s not really Jiheon’s fault. It’s my fault for not taking Jiheon’s situation seriously.”
“I was wrong,”
“It’s okay, Jiheon.”
I was going to say I was more wrong, but Mina cut me off and went back to the original topic.
“So Jiheon. What does Jiheon want to do? That is more important now.”
“Uh, now?”
“Yes, now.”
After thinking for a while, the answer that came out was the same as before.
“I do not know.”
“Is that so.”
Then Minah nodded her head saying she understood.
“Then I understand. Instead, I want you to know this.”
“What?”
“I am not pressuring Jiheon to get a job.”
“Uh?”
“Now I’m telling Jiheon that it’s good to think seriously about the future.”
“No, I heard you put a lot of pressure on me earlier.”
“Did I tell you? Now is important.”
“Hey.”
Mina’s joke eased her mood a little. Then she spoke to me in a lighter mood.
“I don’t care if Jiheon doesn’t get a job. I am confident that I can feed Jiheon.”
“I see.”
I could feel the unparalleled trust in that statement. And I was able to understand Mina’s thoughts about her subsequent words.
“But I have no intention of stopping Jiheon from doing what he wants to do. I am rooting for Jiheon to find what he wants to do as soon as possible and achieve it.”
“Yeah, thank you.”
“But if Jiheon wants to have sex with me, I will gladly do it.”
“Ah!”
Why is the story like that!
While reprimanding her like this in her heart, Mina’s heart was conveyed to ease her serious atmosphere lightly. Thinking that this is the end of her story, I smiled softly and told her.
“Thank you. Because you take me so seriously.”
“No. Jiheon is my fiancé, right?”
“Yes. Huh. Okay.”
He nodded and took Mina’s hand, which was placed on her table. It was hotter than her body as she was holding a cup of hot coffee, but it felt cold compared to the way she looked at me now.
Huh? But why is it cold?
“You said no.”
Mina lowered her eyes towards the hand I held her.
“But isn’t it too mean to send a signal all of a sudden?”
“Uh? What?”
“Didn’t Jiheon send a signal to do it?”
“What?!”
As Mina raised her head and spoke, her eyes did not have the sincere light that was full of them earlier. With her coquetry hot, she was full of eyes that seduced me.
She put the mug she was holding in her hand and said, gently interlacing her hand with mine.
“I’ll do it while moaning.”
“I will not!”
“So Jiheon shouldn’t play too aggressively.”
“You’re not doing it?!”
Hastily she shook off the hand that held her. But she wasn’t one to give up.
“This bouncing Jiheon is also fun. It’s like popping cider.”
“Why am I a cider!”
“Are you drinking both?”
“Drink something!”
That’s how I ended Minah’s employment counseling that she started with. She argued with her for a moment, then, getting up from her seat, she said.
“I have to go soon.”
“Yes, I understand. Then I will have to work.”
“Sorry for wasting your time.”
“No. I’m the boss. What I couldn’t do, I can defer to my subordinates.”
“He’s a bad boss, very.”
She said jokingly and held out her hand to her.
“Have you finished your coffee? Give me the cup Wash the dishes.”
“No.”
Mina also got up from her seat, she said without holding out her cup.
“I’ll put it in the bathroom.”
“Oh, no. I’ll do it.”
“No. It’s an excuse to go with Jiheon. It’s okay to take away time, but don’t take this away.”
“Is that so? Then let’s go together.”
“Yes, I understand.”
I left the president’s office with Mina. And then I thought of her story I had heard from her earlier.
As I heard, it was time to slowly prepare for the future. But I didn’t even do the letter ‘j’ of preparation. I couldn’t help but thank her for reminding me of that and even cheering me on.
“I-here.”
“Uh? My name is Sukyung. That’s Soo-kyung, right?”
“Yes that’s right. Then I, Mr. Jiheon, am I right? I heard from other people.”
“Yes. By the way But what’s going on?”
“It’s not like that. I said I drank coffee well. I’m here to tell you that.”
“Is it so? Would you like another ride?”
“Yes. But, I like cafe coffee more. So later,”
“Oh my gosh, Mr. Sukyung. What are you going to do without working here?”
“Uh, boss?”
“Yes. I’m the boss. Give me the empty cup, and if you’re seated, I’ll bring you another coffee. You know.”
“Yes, yes… Then suffer…”
“Take care, Sukyung. No, what’s wrong, Mina.”
“Jiheon. Mr. Sukyung can’t.”
“What’s wrong?”
“Even if you look so shy, rumors about men aren’t good.”
“What does that matter?”
“Anyway, it might be better for Jiheon not to get a job and just do housework.”
“What are you talking about? And what does the male rumor have to do with it?”
“Jiheon. Jiheon, why don’t you just do housework in my apartment instead of getting a job? I will pay the money.”
“Hey. You don’t listen to me.”
