Chapter 352 – Episode 352

“I hope there will be good results. The interview results will be released around next Friday. Well then, thank you for your hard work.”

In the meantime, the interview was over.

Even though I practiced and practiced so much, when I got into the real interview, I ended up getting a little excited without even realizing it.

When the excitement subsided, I was already sitting on the shuttle bus going home.

The shuttle bus was quieter than when I came here. As if they were dead, everyone was quietly organizing their thoughts without even making a sound.

In times like this, I think it would be better to have someone who is loud and tactless like Park Geung-jeong…

‘This is how you decide whether you pass or fail.’

Even though I already knew.

After going through the interview in person, I really felt it. What may be the most important turning point in your life is decided by a single interview.

‘I think I know what it feels like to be a person who struggles desperately in an interview, even if it means throwing everything away, including their pride.’

If that’s the case, it shouldn’t be.

If I were to fail here, I would have risked more than my life in the next interview. Even now, I risked my life to come here, but I think it was more desperate than that.

If you fail even after doing this, it will be really unfair and difficult to endure.

‘You must have seen it well, right? Well… ‘You must have seen it, right?’

I don’t think the reaction was bad.

It was definitely not my conceit or illusion. Even looking at it as objectively as possible, the interviewers’ attention was focused on me the most out of the three present. I wasn’t the only one who felt that.

When the interview was over, and I left the interview room, the other two people who had been interviewed with me treated me a little, no, a lot… I looked at it with resentful eyes.

Although I didn’t dare to criticize him or get angry.

I don’t think I’ll forget the looks they gave me, at least for a while. As time goes by, we’ll forget about it…

‘I’m sorry.’

I apologized quietly.

It was right to take a shortcut.

That can never be denied. I properly utilized the cheat key given as a reward by the quest. It’s so clear that I wonder if I can use it properly anymore.

‘I really didn’t know anything about baseball. I did some research and came up with a story in advance.’

It wasn’t all lies, but it wasn’t all true either.

Although I did not write my personal statement as an autobiography, I think I created my own novel during the interview. If it weren’t for that, the person to my left or right might have received more attention than me.

‘I guess humans really are helpless animals.’

As soon as the story of baseball came up, the eyes of the manager named Yeom Bu-min brightened. In the end, I guess people have no choice but to be a little more generous to people they like.

Furthermore, subordinates have to pay attention to their superiors.

People say they don’t like that these days, but I still think it’s natural. Not everyone can be a leader.

‘It won’t fall apart like this, right? No way.’

Or is Choi Do-hyung suddenly using some kind of trick to make me fall?

No. That’s so ridiculous. It’s not like he’s the secret son of the CEO of ULSoft.

‘Then how on earth were you planning on dropping me when I applied to the development team?’

While I was tilting my head and thinking alone, a shuttle bus running down the road stopped.

“Thank you all for your hard work.”

“Thank you.”

After saying hello to the bus driver who had been driving all day today, I got off and found myself at the same place I left for the interview this morning.

If the sun hadn’t been setting little by little, I might have thought I was dreaming.

To that extent, I still didn’t have a good sense of reality.

But it’s over.

The interview was over, and all I had to do now was wait for the results to come out. I took a taxi home, fiddling with the amulet that Oh Hanam had given me in the morning.

I felt like I had to commit something today. Something had to be done.

“Oh, you can get off here.”

I intentionally got off early, about 5 minutes away from my studio.

This is because there is a coin karaoke room right here.

I could have come with Ohana and other women, but today I am alone and upset? The stress that’s been building up? Tension? Whatever it was, I wanted to shake off everything that was piled up inside me and go.

The neat suit I wore for the interview today.

Without even taking off my tie, I sang songs that came to mind at random. Maybe it was because my voice didn’t get sore easily after my physical strength increased, but even though I was singing alone, I was able to enjoy karaoke non-stop for an hour without stopping.

“Huh, let’s go home.”

I feel it every time, but the power of the song is truly amazing.

My mind, which felt like I was having fun somewhere, was calmed down after an hour of singing. I’m already excited and tickled to think that one day the song sung by Ohana will be registered here.

It must be so amazing. I think it would be hilarious. It will be great again.

[Terra One Room]

Now I feel like this is my home, not a monthly rent.

When are you going to move here? You can’t keep living here. Because narrow is narrow. But what can I say? I didn’t really want to move that much.

Should I say that I became attached? Or is it something that bothers me a little because I feel like I got lucky here?

“I’ve been there.”

There was no one at home yet.

There is about an hour left until everyone leaves work. Ohana will come a little later, and in Aebom Han’s case, she will be taking a walk to think about the plot of the novel.

“Huh.”

I finally took off the stuffy tie that was constricting my neck and threw it away. No, I picked it up again and hung it neatly on the wall.

If you throw it away, Yoon Su-ah will clean it up again.

You shouldn’t take people’s likes for granted. I had to do well when I was there, and the closer I was, the better I had to do. This was a mindset I should never forget.

After putting on my tie, I took off my suit and hung it on a hanger.

So, what do we do now?

Now… What should I do?

* * *

“I need to rest.”

“Ah…”

“I heard the interview results will come out next Friday? Then, take a good rest until then.”

The word ‘rest’ sounded very unfamiliar coming from Han Ae-bom’s mouth.

It’s not that I haven’t had any rest so far. Nevertheless, what should I say? I was always given quests, so even rest had a purpose.

It seemed strange to me because I thought I was just resting and doing nothing.

Han Ae-bom says after seeing my expression.

“It’s also important to rest. I know that Hyeonwoo has good physical strength, but just because he has good physical strength doesn’t mean he can run all day long all year round. Rather, it is very important to take time to recharge in between.”

“I see.”

I nodded slightly and asked what I thought was a stupid question.

“But what do you do to relax?”

To my question like this.

Next to her, Ohana, who was doing flexibility exercises with her naked body spread out, looked quite serious.

“Wow, brother… I guess I need to rest. I think people are going a little crazy. “What are you doing to relax?”

Ohana said.

“Think about that first.”

Rarely, Han Ae Bom expressed agreement with Oh Hana’s opinion.

In the end, I decided to just relax like a fool until next Friday.

But what do you really do?

On the first day, I stayed at home and blankly looked at YouTube all day. In the old days, was TV called an idiot box? Now YouTube must be an idiot box.

I’ve felt this in the past, especially with shorts, but as I watch them for hours a day, I feel like people are becoming more and more addicted to provocative things.

At one point, it was difficult to concentrate even on videos that were longer than 5 minutes.

Some overseas reaction videos, videos with cute animals, game highlights, entertainment highlights, old military entertainment edits, animation highlights, etc.

There is no category that I didn’t look at during the hours I spent looking at the shorts.

“Ugh, I don’t think this is right.”

After looking at the shorts for nearly 8 hours, I finally reached the end of the shorts and the moment I saw the ‘refresh’ button, I shook my head and jumped out of my seat.

I needed to rest and recharge, but I felt like I was becoming more broken.

Let’s be content with seeing shorts occasionally.

“Shall we read a book?”

It is said that the average total reading volume of Koreans is 3.9 books.

Personally, I wonder where that average comes from. Actually, I read less than one book a year.

[Unchanging laws of the world – all you need to know is this]

I opened a self-help book in a corner for no reason and closed it in less than three minutes.

Just looking at the page filled with small, pitch-black letters made me feel sick. How on earth did you read your major? Indeed.

“Shall we read Aebom’s novel?”

I was surprised when I checked out 〈 Omniscient Chaebol Perspective 〉 written by Han Ae-bom after a long time, that is, author Bom Hyun-woo.

[Currently in episode 153]

“Already?”

It’s been a few months since the series started, and it’s already over 100 episodes, with 50 more episodes to go.

Considering that what I read before was only 3 episodes, there have been about 150 more episodes.

How many 150 screen books are there? Is it roughly 6 volumes?

Crazy.

You spent that much in that short period of time? And at a level of quality that will still maintain its popularity?

“What is Yuji? In fact, it has increased even more.”

When I last saw it, I think the latest episode had about 20,000 views, but now it’s already at 30,000.

I know because I learned it at a web novel academy.

For 99% of web novels, as the number of episodes increases, the number of views tends to decrease compared to before. However, the fact that the number increased despite serializing 150 episodes was nothing short of proof of how fun Han Ae-bom’s novel was.

“… Even episode 3 was fun.”

Now that I think about it, it’s a novel about a woman who is promised a future. I thought it was too harsh that I didn’t read it.

“It’s not like I didn’t have any free time at all.”

There was also time for sex.

There was time to look at the shorts or take a breather. Nevertheless, if I had to make an excuse, I think I didn’t have enough time in my heart.

It feels like I was running like a cow only looking ahead, unable to look to the side or back.

“Let’s read it now to see what it feels like.”

And I’m telling this to Han Ae-bom. What did her novel feel like?

Do you want to like it?

… With that thought in mind, I started watching again from the prologue, not episode 3, and before I knew it, I found myself reading the last part of episode 153.

[“How far are you going to go?”

People held their breath at the words that came out of Han Ae-hwa’s mouth.
“Until the end.”]

“…”

I watched the last part of episode 153 without even taking a breath, and then I exhaled when I saw that the next episode button had turned grey.

I read it so fluidly that my mind went back and forth.

“It really has made tremendous progress.”

When compared to the novels written by Han Ae-bom in the past, it was almost questionable whether they were the same person. It seemed like I could see how hard she worked and how hard she must have worked to achieve this.

“Good, I can’t help but praise this.”

I read her novel to relax as soon as Aebom returned from her walk to organize the plot, and she was excitedly talking about how much she enjoyed it.
And.

“Aaaaa!!”

The top of my head was stamped with the corner of a very thick self-help book.
