Chapter 581 – Hey, These Pretty Things!

Our dining room is divided into a sitting table to eat on the floor and a standing table to eat while sitting on chairs. Like today, the place to receive group reservations was on the seating side, and here one employee had to take a seat and serve.

“Here, here are four bottles of soju!”

“Yes! Your illness!”

“And some more radish kimchi, please! It’s delicious here!”

“Yes! Thank you! So, four soju and radish radish refills! Thank you!”

I received an empty kkakdugi bowl from a drunk customer and moved to get soju. I went down to the stepped floor, put on my slippers, and went straight to the refrigerator.

Jingle jingle

At this time, the door opened and the bell hanging there rang. I stopped going to the beverage fridge and shouted toward the doorway.

“Welcome!”

“Welcome!”

“Hey, welcome.”

I wasn’t the only one who shouted hello. The energetic voice was the demon king, and the one who spoke with a sigh from exhaustion was Sehee.

“Yes! How many minutes are you!”

The Demon King shouted as he walked so fast that his silver hair fluttered. Middle-aged customers who had just entered her flinched at the sight of her European appearance, but she spoke reassuringly in fluent Korean.

“Two, two.”

“Yes, two! Sehee! Have a guest here!”

“All right. Wait.”

Se-hee, who was sorting out a bunch of receipts at the cash register, replied insincerely. She eventually gave up on tidying up and came out to greet her guests.

“Yes, welcome. Are there two of you?”

“Uh, yes.”

“Come this way.”

Se-hee guided the guests in a familiar, albeit not skillful way. In the meantime, Ma Wang went to serve the soup, and I moved with the newly filled diced diced radish and four bottles of soju on a tray.

I thought it wouldn’t work because it was a sudden request, but the two nodded without hesitation. I continued working at the restaurant, promising that I would kiss them both deeply when this was over.

“Take your order here!”

The guests who had just entered raised their hands and shouted. The person who approached them was the demon king who had been smiling brightly earlier.

“Yes! Would you like to order?”

“Here with two soups. By the way, are you a part-timer? Are you new?”

“No. I’ll help you for a while. Only today.”

“Okay? Nice Are you an international student? I am having a hard time working in another country. We also went abroad when we were young,”

“I’m sorry, guest. It’s an order. I am very busy.”

“Ah, yes. I’m sorry, student. So, two bowls of rice soup, one beer, and one soju.”

“What kind of soju would you like?”

“Just give it as dew. No flash, just dew.”

“Yes, please wait a moment!”

The Demon King skillfully got out of the swamp of conversation with a smile on his face. Like her older sister, Se-hee at the cashier also settled the customers’ bills.

“Ugh, here’s the card!”

“Yes. Then, 3 pieces of pork soup, 1 piece of pork belly, 5 bottles of soju,”

“Why 5 bottles! I only drank 3 bottles! Look at the table! There are only 3 bottles!”

“I drank 3 bottles and there are 3 bottles over there, but I have 2 bottles in my bag. I saw you put it in earlier.”

“What? What. Why is soju here?”

“The guest put it in himself. Then I will count.”

“Uh! Wait! Let me count!”

“No! Please do it with my card!”

“Hey guys .. Hey guys! Because I pay! Just mine,”

“Yes, I have already paid.”

With a calm face, Se-hee lightly resolved the drunken aggro and the cards that were thrown at her. The way she spoke in a slightly sighed tone made her look like a career woman for some reason.

“Why aren’t you coming out here!”

“Yes! Going!”

“Why is there no cutlery here! Don’t you fill it up!”

“Yes! I’m going to fill it up!”

It was not a company office, but a noisy soup restaurant.

We were busy going back and forth to such a soup restaurant, welcoming customers, carrying food, and helping with bills. Moving like that, time passed quickly. But people didn’t even think about getting lost.

“Jiheon!”

The demon king approached me while serving at the seat table. As she called my name, she hid a subtle irritation under her kind face.

“You obviously said this.”

The demon lord who arrived in front of me asked her without moving her lips.

“At eight o’clock, I’d say people are going to fall off. But what is this?”

“That’s me”

“What time is it now? It’s half past eight, half past eight. Now, do you think this is missing people?”

“No, though.”

“Noisy. You. Listen to what Jim has to say.”

The demon king, who only smiled, looked at me. The blue eyes that met me had a clear meaning of warning.

“There are always so many customers, so pay the price.”

“You promised to give me a part-time job.”

“No money. You will receive it with your body.”

“Hey.”

“I said it was noisy.”

The Demon King seemed unwilling to listen to my excuses.

“Brother.”

It was the same with Sehee. At her checkout counter, sorting out a bunch of receipts, welcoming guests, and setting the table, she looked exhausted.

“Brother. When will this end?”

“It’ll be over soon, it’s okay.”

“You said that before. I’m having a hard time right now.”

“I know that, but the guests aren’t leaving.”

“Why aren’t you leaving? I ask you to leave.”

“How do I do that?”

“That’s right, Jiheon. I want you to get out. Aren’t you the son of a soup restaurant?”

Am I the son of a conglomerate family?

Still, I somehow calmed her down and sent her back to work. Of course, I went back to work and headed to the sit-down table, thinking about why it was so crowded.

Normally, there would have been only a few tables left by now as people started leaving before 8:00. But now it’s full, so people come in and look inside and leave.

What the hell. Why is it different from usual that people flock to it like this?

I found out why after a while.

Jingle jingle

At the sound of the door opening, we all reflexively shouted without turning our heads.

“Welcome!”

“Come on!”

“Ha, welcome…”

Sehee’s soulless voice, which was completely exhausted, was followed by a slightly husky voice for a woman.

“I am here now. Forgive me for being late.”

“Uh?”

“Hmm?”

“Yes?”

After hearing a familiar voice, we turned our heads toward the doorway. Then Mina, who seemed to have just finished work, caught my eye.

“What can I do first?”

Mina, dressed in a black semi-suit, approached with footsteps. Every time she took a step, her small watermelon-sized chest trembled late in the half, and all the eyes of the men in the store were focused on it.

Oh, that was it.

Now I know why the store is so noisy today. It wasn’t the usual restaurant lady or me, but it was crowded because there were beauties with a beauty comparable to that of celebrities.

It was as if the people he had called to help had unexpectedly caught his ankle. At this thought, I regretted that I had made a mistake in seeking help.

“Jiheon?”

No, that was that, and this was this. Just because my girlfriends were the cause, I couldn’t kick them out. In the end I picked what I could do now.

“Oh, it’s Mina.”

I got down from her seat and put on her slippers and led her to her corner of the store. There he gave her the last pair of slippers and her apron.

“Report this, write this. You just have nothing to do Just clean up what the guests ate.”

“Can I just do that? You can do more.”

“You’re here to work.”

“Then Jiheon, Sohee, and Sehee were also working, right?”

“Are you okay. Just this,”

“Ah! It’s tough!”

At this time, the Demon King passed by and muttered loudly so that we could hear.

“It’s so hard to keep working from 5 o’clock!”

“I will do it. Get some rest.”

“Are you okay. It was just a joke.”

“I’m not joking, it’s really hard! Oh, how hard it is!”

“Hey!”

Haha!”

When I shouted, the demon king laughed saying it was fun and moved to serve. As befits the strongest of us, she seemed to just shout her joke.

After glaring at the demon king once, I continued what I was saying to Mina.

“You can clean up what the guests have eaten, and return the empty dishes to mom.”

“Yes, I understand.”

“And, sorry for coming to work. Can I replace Sehee? Let me rest a little by asking you to tell me what to do.”

“Then, is Hall only for Sohee?”

“No, I will too. Now that the group guests are slowly leaving, you will have some space.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Even Mina started helping with the restaurant work, and as it approached 9:00, the customers who didn’t seem to want to leave were slowly leaving. By the time 9:30 passed and 10:00 approached, not a single customer was left.

“Eat well and go!”

As the last customer left, we gathered around a table. It was difficult to find a clean place because there were empty dishes at every seat, but it didn’t matter to us who were exhausted.

“Aigoo! I’m sorry, kids! It was very difficult!”

Mom saw the customers leave and came out of her kitchen. I thought that even though my mom usually treats me harshly, she still takes care of me at times like this.

“Sorry, kids! Sohee! Sehee! And Mina too!”

“Mom. I am? Why didn’t you call Jiheon?”

“Do you do it for a day or two? Don’t be afraid to hurry up and grab a few bottles of Coke! Give me the kids!”

It was an illusion.

“I will go.”

Mina, who worked less here, got up from her seat. Of course, I stopped her who came right after work.

“It’s okay. I’ll bring it.”

“No. I am,”

“It’s okay. Ruler. Sit down. Hurry.”

“It’s Mina. Sit down Jiheon does all of that. Because Jiheon isn’t hard at all.”

“I’m having a hard time too.”

“Noisy, this. Is it Mina? Sit down, it’s okay.”

“… Yes, I understand.”

Anyway, as her mother joined in, Minah quietly took her seat. I saw her and got up from her seat. While I was on my way to get a drink, my mother spoke in a sweet voice to my girlfriends.

“I’m sorry everyone. If I had known there were so many people, I wouldn’t have called.”

“No, mother.”

When I apologized in a voice that I would never say to me, the demon king shook his head with a normal tone.

“I’m so glad I was of any small help to you, mother.”

Earlier, she told me to kick out her customers and pecked at her like that.

Like an older sister who lies without blinking an eyebrow, Se-hee calmly said no.

“No. Since I’m a college student, I need to have some part-time job experience. It was nothing.”

Every time we ran into each other, he asked when it would be over.

“I am okay. It’s not the first time something like this has happened, so I’m happy.”

Ah, Mina has to admit it. Because I came right after work.

“You don’t have to pay, so could you show me Jiheon’s album?”

Was that what you were aiming for? But will you show me what you want to see?

“Of course not! Now, see So-hee and Se-hee later. Understand?”

Mom?

“Oh, these pretty things!”

Mom looked at them saying they were lovely, who were only talking about her mouth. Then he uttered shocking words.

“Everyone would have liked Jiheon to be a priest! Ah, don’t get me wrong, Sohee.”

“Yes, yes, mother… !”

“Sorry, really. Pooh!”

“Yes that’s right.”

“Mom is?”

“My mother is in the kitchen right now. She said she’s taking a break, so she’ll clear the table a little later.”

“Ah, just looking at it makes me sick.”

“I will clean it up. Rest yourselves.”

“How is that? It’s not like you came to play.”

“Jiheon is right. And Jiheon, clear your schedule. That day she will be kidnapped, so you know.”

“… A kidnapping?”

“Yes, something like that. I will tell you the date later.”

“No, kidnapping. What do you mean by that?”

“Jiheon. Look forward to it.”

“Do you know how scary it is when you do that?”

“Ha ha, of course it is.”

“Sure. I do it for that taste.”

“Yes, I know.”

These bad things.
