Chapter 256 – Episode 256

[Smile Coffee]

“5 glasses of iced Americano and 1 glass of strawberry smoothie.”

“Yes, just a moment.”

I ordered take-out coffee from the café in front of Mintrain, which I have become accustomed to by now, and carefully checked the gallery while observing my surroundings.

The 30 or so photos at the top are all photos of Kim Seo-ran and Wino-ran hugging yesterday.

Starting with his face as he was getting fucked by me, and ending with the photo he took while voluntarily kissing my dick.

I took a variety of photos other than this, but I didn’t necessarily add them to my gallery.

There are already over 100 photos like this in my gallery.

[Do you want to move it to a secure folder?]

It was pointless to carry something like this around openly, so I put it in my personal secure folder and looked at the sky.

「Maaaaaeam, maaaeam!」

The bright sunlight shines down on your head along with the sound of cicadas starting to sing more loudly.

In the past, I would not have applied sunscreen even in this weather, but recently, due to Ohana’s strong insistence, I do at least apply sunscreen.

“After. The weather is really nice.”

The feeling was new and a little awkward.

I can’t believe I’m spewing out sounds like this.

‘Happy New Year to him… !! Let me take it at least once. Fuck!!’

I used to say things like this at the beginning of this year, but now I buy coffee on my way to work, and I feel like I have some freedom.

[After listening to Yoon Su-ah’s request, the quest was completed.]

[As a reward, you will receive 300,000 won, stamina +1, and stamina +1.]

It’s all thanks to this guy.

My efforts will be included to some extent, so it may not be 100%. 99% of it was thanks to this guy.

At this point, I think I have received blessings that I have never received before.

‘If you look at the fact that quests are still being given, it means that you haven’t received all your blessings.’

What is this quest really?

Sometimes, I feel like I have an ego, but how did I have this power, and did I single out me out of a population of 8 billion?

‘Well, I received too much to have any doubts.’

What is certain is that thanks to this quest, I am feeling emotions I have never felt before. Ironically, it also included a slightly relaxed mind.

‘It became loose.’

I say this as a habit every time.

Even if it was negative, I had to admit what I had to admit.

[Moving to the secure folder has been completed.]

Compared to who I was at the beginning of this year, I have clearly become more relaxed.

It is true that I am still sincere, desperate, and earnest. No matter how I looked at it, I wasn’t as desperate or urgent as I was before I met Ohana.

‘I believe that no matter what happens, it can be resolved to some extent.’

Even now, I haven’t achieved anything big.

The polygamy system I’m aiming for doesn’t even have an outline yet, and the company I’m currently working for only provides contract positions to fill in my career, and I’m not sure if I can get into ULSoft, which is my goal.

Nevertheless.

Is it because his abilities have become outstanding? Or is it because the people around you have become great? Or is it because I have women who support me?

For some reason, I couldn’t quite feel the fundamental anxiety or nervousness that I used to have.

‘This doesn’t necessarily mean it’s bad.’

Rather, it’s good.

When I think about my life back then, I still feel out of breath. Every day was a long and painful time.

Nevertheless. I can say that I am really full.

‘At the same time, joy in small things… It feels like it has shrunk a bit.’

It’s true.

In the past, I was so excited just by the fact that Ohana, that is, a woman, would move in with me that I would turn into a horny monkey. I become a monkey in heat. It’s still the same now.

Should I say that at that time, just holding hands with the real Ohana made my heart explode with excitement?
However, now I feel like I find it too easy to meet other women and even date them. It was actually easy.

‘If life becomes easier here… Also, what will it feel like if I achieve more things?’

It seems like I’m already drinking kimchi soup.

What would it be like if, just by chance, I achieved polygamy?

In my imagination, I clenched my fists and was happy, saying that I had achieved something unbelievable. He even hugs his three wives and gives them a ride.

But, for some reason, this is just my guess. That joy will not last a lifetime.

‘You know what? Mr. Hyunwoo? Once you achieve your goal, all that remains is emptiness.’

When Oh Hanam said that.

I just thought it was the sound of a well-fed human being full. In fact, it is true that you are full.

However, what if we think about it from Oh Hanam’s own perspective.

‘Humans are not robots.’

That’s why humans need a purpose, or motivation, for living.

“…”

When my thoughts reached that point, I felt like my perspective had broadened in just a moment. Should I say that I now understand a little more about people who I couldn’t understand until now?

At the same time, I realized how narrow-minded I had been living and how many selfish illusions I had made.

“Here are 5 cups of Americano and 1 strawberry smoothie you ordered.”

“Thank you.”

I grinned as I accepted the take-out carrier.

Laughter comes out of its own accord.

“It’s fun.”

Should I say that I felt the fun of growing up?

If you grow in this way and your horizons expand… The ones at the end are probably Han Se-ryong and Oh Han-nam.

I was excited to be following them, and my heart swelled with anticipation that I might be able to compete against them in the future. Well, it may still be a long way off.

On the contrary, I also think that way.

What on earth do people who are already at the top aim for, and who do they compete with?

What fun do these people aim to live in the world?

What is certain is that even these thoughts are satiating thoughts for some people.

People’s values ​​could never be the same.

For example, even if you buy it for them, there are people who will never eat anything other than a strawberry smoothie.

“Here, Mr. Guest. Guest of honor, it’s a strawberry smoothie, right?”

“Ah, thank you. Next time, I’ll take a shot.”

“Yeah yeah.”

Who would have thought that a person who only drinks espresso would be crazy about strawberry smoothies?

“Thank you. “I will drink well, Mr. Hyunwoo.”

“Wow, Hyunwoo. Put mine on my desk. “I’ll drink it after I brush my teeth.”

“You drink it after brushing your teeth?”

Starting with director Anna Tae, Song Sang-joong and Kang Sang-yong. Lastly, Jo Sogeum sneakily approaches me and hugs me.

Before I knew it, I had become ridiculously accustomed to living with all these people.

Only one month has passed.

‘They say it takes a moment for a real person to get used to it.’

When I first parachuted here, everyone treated me like I didn’t exist.

I had no idea what was going on, so I was stuck next to Song Sang-joong like a stick of gum, wondering when I would ever get used to it.

Now, everything has become familiar to me, as if it were so natural.

“Hey, Mr. Salt. “Didn’t you say that the Chapter 4 sound part, which the planning team requested, will be completed soon?”

“Yes, I said it would be soon. “It’s almost done.”

I wonder if we have even become accustomed to the confrontation between Jo Sogeum from the development team and Kim Seolhwa from the planning team.

In fact, no one paid attention to the two tiny 150 cm tall women fighting with the veins in their necks standing up.

Should I say this is everyday life at Mintrain?

Only I, still feeling fresh, pretended to type the code and raised my head to watch the fight.

‘It feels a bit like that today, doesn’t it?’

This is a story I heard from Song Sang-jung once.

It was the difference between what the development team thought was ‘right away’ and what the planning team thought was ‘right away’.

“Hey! We’ve already waited two days, right? But how quickly!”

“What are you talking about? Just three or four days! Do you think development is a child’s game? Do you think there are one or two bugs caused by the code being twisted?”

“Then why don’t you say it in the first place because it’s so quick! Why are people on the development team like this? You lied before and said it would take 10 days when it should have taken just a week, right?! But why don’t you just drink coffee and relax!”

“Look, if you say something tight, and you don’t meet the schedule, you’ll be scolded! It is the rule of the country to speak leisurely to some extent!”

“Soup rules? Where can you find something like that! “Words like that are just words made up for one’s own advantage!”

“Don’t you know that the planning team coming all the way to the 4th floor and screaming like this is already disrupting the development team?”

“What… You say? Then in the first place… !”

Is there anything else I felt while working at the company?

Unless one side sacrifices everything like a complete angel, conflict will inevitably arise whenever people face each other.

So, if something is going too smoothly in a company, it is correct to assume that someone is making a corresponding sacrifice.

‘If you look at it from the side, you might wonder if there is a need to fight.’

That’s not the case again.

If the development team makes too many concessions, the planning team’s demands will increase. In fact, there were times when Jo Sogeum made concessions and the development team members were in trouble.

However, if the planning team makes too many concessions, the fundamentals of the game become strange.

‘Looking at this, I can understand why people who work alone have high job satisfaction.’

Well, working with many people has its advantages.

There are also disadvantages.

What is certain is that it was less boring than working alone. Unexpected events can cause a lot of stress, but…

Personally, speaking from the perspective of having worked part-time at a convenience store, working with many people suits me better.

“Great. Everything else is done. The epilogue is going well, right? Illustrations.”

“Yes. I decided to receive a rough draft from the writer today. Considering the pace I’ve been going at so far, I think it will take about 3 weeks.”

“After three weeks…”

Kim Seol-hwa sighs, places her hand on her waist, and licks her lips.

And then he glares at Jo Salt again. Except for the size of their breasts, those two people have similar body types, so why are they fighting like that?

“Okay, three weeks. No. In some cases, it may take a month. Because the illustration is the most important. In a way, it is the finale.”

“I know. “I will tell the writer that as well.”

Kim Seol-hwa nods and walks up the stairs to the 5th floor, making a loud noise in her high heels.

After a while, you hear the sound of the door on the 5th floor closing.

Director Anna Tae approaches and taps Jo Sogeum on the shoulder.

“Then later, we’ll grab each other’s hair. Do it in moderation, do it in moderation.”

“But this is the role of a development PM…”

“But go to sleep. I understand that Salt thinks a lot about our development team. Since we can act like dogs sometimes, we try to please the planning team a little bit. I’m sure there are a lot of annoying things over there, too. Above all.”

Above all?

Anna Tae says, smiling like an idiot.

“We get paid more.”

“…”

Wow.

I think the person who gets caught by the hair first is not Jo Sogeum, but Director Anna Tae.

“Why would I get caught by the hair? “I’m working properly.”

… It wasn’t even before the morning had passed that Jo Sogeum’s complexion, who had been relaxing while saying, darkened.

“Yes? Author. “What?”
