Chapter 24 – [What Is Life, Just Live as You Live]

The morning wake-up time at the newlyweds’ home, Choi Wak-ki and Shion, is around 6 o’clock. Sometimes I wake up around 6:30, but usually that’s it.

The one that happens first is the worst. Unexpectedly, the worst is diligent and Shion is the lazy type, so when the worst is making breakfast, Shion rubs his eyes and gets up from his seat.

Breakfast is the type that both of us eat, but we don’t eat rice. Stuff lightly with bread.

“Would you like some toast?”

“I have two”

“I had to eat four of them to get full.”

“It’s probably because it’s peak eating time. Don’t people in their 20s usually eat a lot?”

“It’s the time when appetite and sexual desire explode. It’s okay. I like it when I’m young too. There are times when I’m full of blood and go crazy.”

“Isn’t it always like that?”

“Ah, was that originally my personality?”

As a couple, there are similarities, but even as a couple, there are differences. As much as we have each other’s taste, we respected each other in that part.

While Xion put fried eggs on top of toast that was golden brown and ate it, the worst one spread strawberry jam on top of the toast and just munched on it.

“Ah, that’s right. Come to think of it, today is garbage disposal day, right?”

“I’ll leave it”

“The amount of trash is not easy. It’s mainly toilet paper.”

“Isn’t that what you usually do?”

Prior to the sexual desire of a man in his twenties, energy was meaningless to a transcendentalist. After two people have an affair one night, you have to clean up after that.

Tissues that are mainly used are put in a separate pay-as-you-go bag, and one 10-liter bag is full in a week.

“Separate collection is done according to the box, so you can throw it away as it is.”

“Do you have anything else to throw away?”

“Well… Oh, come to think of it, there are Nendoroids that I sent by courier from Japan before.

“All right”

Shion nodded her head and ate the toast.

After breakfast, lightly wash and tidy up. The worst part is that he has to go to work, so Xion mainly does the rest. It’s about washing the dishes, but with Shion’s physique, it’s hard to wash the dishes properly.

I take a chair from the dining table, put it in front of the sink, and wash the dishes. I’m small, but I can do anything I can.

“I’ll be back. For lunch, there’s kimchi stew, so eat that.”

“Have a good trip. Oh, before that”

When Shion was about to go to work, he often ran to the front door and lifted his tiptoe.

The worst, knowing what she wanted because it was her daily routine, leaned over her and lightly kissed her on the lips.

“This gives me a very newlywed atmosphere, right?”

“A kiss before work in the morning is a special law”

Sesame salt and honey flowed, but it was fortunate that no one was watching. If I had seen it, goose bumps would have risen all over my body.

After the worst went to work, Shion finished washing her dishes and sat in front of the TV for a while. She has to do chores around the house, but technology has advanced a lot these days, so she’s comfortable.

As she flicked her finger, her robot vacuum started moving. The washing machine ran and the air purifier turned on.

For Hanon, a race that governs the laws of physics, operating machinery was as simple as breathing. After all, machines are driven by electricity, and if so, turning on the power switch is easy.

After taking a break for about an hour, she got up to do other things. She first prepared to take out the trash, which she had asked for the worst.

She looks like an elementary school student, but her strength and physical abilities are no different from those of normal adult women. A few of her pay-as-you-go bags and one or two boxes were inconvenient to lift because of her small body, but it wasn’t difficult.

While she was leaving, Shion, who was planning to go shopping, took her wallet and shopping cart. The shopping cart was not bought by Shion, but by the secretly thrifty Worst.

“Plastic…Plastic…”

Separate collection is also meticulous. All you have to do is sort out the worst anyway and just pour it out.

Garbage disposal day is a common gathering place in densely populated areas. In particular, the newlyweds’ house is a complex of detached houses with expensive land, so most of them have their own status in society.

It is a place where a small society of dozens of households is created, not hundreds of apartment-like households.

“Oh, did you run errands for your mom? Isn’t that wonderful?”

The sound of being treated like a child was familiar to Shion. She glanced around to see one of her middle-aged women staring at her.

She didn’t like this situation very much. She could talk as much as she wanted with people who had the same hobbies, but she didn’t like a small society made up of women.

It is because Shion’s hobby of virtue in it is not easily recognized, and few people openly talk about her honest feelings.

At least two-thirds of the results Zion has suffered have been like that. Because of that, she was hurt quite a few times.

At the same time, if there is anything I know, it is better to show the overwhelming difference and class with the opponent. If you do that, you won’t be attacked and bitten.

“I’m not a child, I’m a new wife. The other day, her husband gave me rice cakes so I couldn’t say hello, but it’s called Zion, who moved in a few months ago.”

“Yes? Ah…Really?”

Contrary to his appearance as a foreigner, his fluent and firm Korean language rather gave him confidence. It was rare for a child who looked like an elementary school student to say hello politely like this, so the self-introduction added credibility.

“Nice to meet you. I’m Kim Yeo-soon, who is in charge of the women’s club in this neighborhood.”

“I should have greeted you first if you were the female president, but I’m sorry.”

“No, by the way, if it’s the house you moved into a few months ago… Is it President Choi’s house? Is that there?”

“Yes, that’s right”

The title boss is just a word given out of courtesy.

It was a title given because there are no people living in this neighborhood who are of low status in society, but when Mrs. Kim Yeo-soon saw it, she was too young to be the worst person who had ever passed rice cakes before. She has the appearance of a newcomer who just came out of society, and she has bad eyes, so she doesn’t have a good impression, but she calls me the boss just in case.

“Where did the new wife come from? The United States or the United Kingdom?”

“It’s the United States. I lived there, became naturalized, and married her husband now.”

“Her husband’s side is also young, so he must have married early, unlike young people these days?”

“Yes, we did it a few months ago. Due to personal circumstances, we couldn’t hold a wedding ceremony and just wrote the paperwork.”

“Oh, then you’re still newlyweds, right?”

Mrs. Kim Yeo-soon had no intention of letting her go. It was because she needed to at least find out what Zion’s family was doing.

The housewives network is scary. In the case of families who are sensitive to rumors and especially have their own status, there are only two options left: inclusion or exclusion.

If Zion’s family is good enough, let them into their own league, and if not, go in the direction of ignoring them.

Since Xion and the worst are both young, she doesn’t expect much, but Mrs. Kim Yeo-soon smiled slightly, thinking that it would be enough to pass the time.

“By the way, isn’t your new wife too young? She looks young because she’s not young. Do you have any secrets?”

“It’s because the medicine I used for my illness when I was young was too strong and I couldn’t grow. If it was too strong, even my hair was bleached and it looks like this.”

“Ah… I’m sorry.”

Shion’s appearance has its own story. She can rationalize that by telling a convincing story, since a married woman who looks like a natural silver-haired beautiful girl is not normal.

The setting is that she spent her childhood fighting in a hospital overseas, but after barely recovering a few years ago, she returned to Korea and got married. There is an excuse that her silver hair and youthful appearance is because the drug she used during her illness stopped her growth and destroyed the pigment in her hair.

She also pulled out a medical certificate that she deliberately manipulated for that purpose.

“New wife, there’s a women’s club meeting at the cafe right in front of you. If you have time, would you like to come with us?”

“Ah… I’m out shopping too, so it’s a bit difficult.”

“Can’t it be for a while? I’m a new family, so I have to stamp my face on the people in the neighborhood.”

I was forced to go through the invitation. For Shion, if she was only avoiding herself, she would just ignore it and go in, but if she swears at her, it will affect the worst of her, so she decided to keep quiet for now.

I don’t care about the worst, Shion, or myself being criticized. But she hates hurting each other. Because they know that each other is precious, they say that even if they suffer a little more loss, it will be enough as long as the other person is safe.

As the saying goes, married couples look alike, Shion and the worst two people have something in common, but there are also differences.

When the worst gets criticized, Shion responds with relatively common sense. Whether she cheats or cheats. At least, it is a response based on the law.

However, if Shion is criticized, the worst thing is anger control disorder. If someone just says, “Your wife is a prostitute,” That person will have to realize the sorrow of a divided nation with his or her throat that day.

Shion, who was led by Mrs. Kim Yeo-soon to a nearby cafe, nodded her head at the well-decorated atmosphere of the cafe.

It’s not a famous brand cafe, but a cafe opened by an individual business owner. It was a cafe that doubled as a bakery selling homemade bread and cakes.

“Ah, Mrs. Kim! This way, this way!”

“Oh, Mrs. Park is already here. I thought it would be a bit late.”

“But that one…”

There were three people who came to the cafe first and sat down. Despite being middle-aged, all the ladies could be described as having aged gracefully, but to Shion’s eyes, the smell of heavily painted cosmetics was just uncomfortable.

“My name is Zion, who moved in a few months ago. Even looking at this, I am a young new wife in the age of 24. Please take good care of me in the future.”

“Oh, if you moved in a few months ago, are you referring to the house under construction?”

“Yes, that’s right”

Since the house was designed and built personally by Zion, the original house was demolished and rebuilt. As it is a densely populated area, it is a trivial story that the construction cost was several times higher because you had to pay attention to the noise.

“Originally, that house, the house where Mrs. Hwang used to live.”

“I feel sorry for Ms. Hwang too… Her husband’s business department also sold the house, sold everything, sold everything, and said that he was losing his back while paying off his debts. Oh, I’m Park Ye-jeong. Please take good care of your new wife.”

“My name is Joo Ji-young.”

“I’m Jeongsook Han”

All the housewives gathered here were leisurely people who hired housekeepers and had free time to spare from housework, and if they had gathered in the name of a women’s club meeting, all that was left was chatter.

In particular, if a young newlywed is added because he is not young enough, more stories will bloom with that theme.

“By the way, the new wife speaks Korean very well. How did you learn Korean?”

“I learned it on my own about two years ago. I learned it in standard language, so the way I speak is a bit stiff, but I’m used to it and I’m using it.”

“Twenty-four this year? You’re young. Oh, is your skin so good because you’re young?”

“If you don’t take care of it separately, it’s probably congenital. However, it could be because your skin is white because you can’t get enough sunlight.”

“Your husband went to work? May I ask what you are doing?”

Eyes passed between the housewives of the women’s club. For them, her husband’s job was their signboard.

In that respect, it is not very proud to say that it is a chicken house.

“I’m just running a small business.”

“Self-employed? Which one?”

“My husband likes to cook, so I gave him a building to run a chicken restaurant.”

In Shion’s answer, they listened intently to the fact that he gave away a building rather than running a chicken restaurant.

Building owner. Just as there is a joke that the building owner is above the creator, a building owner who can live on rent alone is a stable source of income. Besides, while there are people who have no buildings, there are no people who have only one. When money comes in, the landlord builds another building.

In addition, Zion and the worst honeymoon house were newly built until recently, so considering the construction cost, it is clear that they are quite wealthy.

“My husband runs a small dentist. Thanks to you, he always nags me not to bother me even if I get cavities.”

“My husband is a prosecutor, so there are so many relatives who keep asking me about the law.

“Our guy works as a researcher at Average. He’s not the head office, but the Korean branch, but the pay is high.”

I don’t know much about dentists, prosecutors, or systems, but I’m a researcher at a world-famous company.

These are occupations that earn good money or are socially recognized.

“My husband is the CEO of Daesung Mulsan. Oh ho ho, except for the one that doesn’t come home well, everything is good.”

“………”

At Mrs. Kim Yeo-soon’s boast of her husband, Shion quietly drank coffee. All of a sudden, she ordered her Americano for her sweet tooth, so the bitter taste runs down her back.

I write my mouth and write reality. It’s not that she resents the worst for having a mediocre job, but because of people who mistake her husband’s status for their own, even though they’re just married.

“If it’s Daesung Corporation, I know. What’s your husband’s name, by any chance?”

“Ah, where is the unknown. It’s a Daesung Group company. But what’s my husband’s name?”

“Yes, I know it well because I am the major shareholder there. I think I may have seen her husband because I went to the general meeting of shareholders two or three times.”

“……A shareholders’ meeting?”

The feeling of a fight passed behind Ms. Kim Yeo-soon’s back.

Are there any large corporations that are not corporations? The money Shion earned by investing in stocks for two years is also money, but what’s more valuable is stocks that don’t even exist.

Only her stake in Daesung Corporation is about 2 percent. Stocks seem small in terms of numbers, but that 2 percent stake is a level that other affiliates of the group would have.

That’s why it was safe to say that he was a major shareholder if he had a 2 percent stake in a large company.

“There are many places where I have bought stocks because I have touched stocks. I usually sell them, but in the case of stocks of large corporations, it is beneficial to buy stocks, so I bought them every time they went on sale.”

“Well……..”

A conclusion passed through the heads of the women’s club.

The worst house is a house where the wife makes money, not the husband. It’s also stock rich. No, since there is a building, along with it, the owner of the building.

Even if stocks fail, there are buildings, so it goes above average.

In conclusion, it would have been nice if we could have gotten closer, but it’s not bad.

“Since it’s stock, I’ve been interested in it for a while. Can you tell me, new wife?”

“I’ll tell you later when I have time. It’s going to be a bit of a long story here.”

In the first place, who talks about work while resting. Shion grumbled inwardly.

“Do you only do stocks? Seeing as you have buildings, I think you’ll do real estate as well…”

“It’s just a little bit of land and two mountains to visit in the summer. It’s about buying an island to live quietly in your old age.”

“……………..”

I would understand up to the mountain, but if it is an island, it goes beyond common sense. It’s just that Shion didn’t say anything, but her exact wealth is at a level that even chaebols can’t envy.

Mrs. Park Ye-jeong, whose husband is a dentist, said holding her small hand.

“Let’s be close, little brother”

“I am not your brother”

Alas, my true heart came out.

*        *    *

Talking between women is exhausting. Men’s conversations are simple, so it’s convenient because they’re divided into games or women, but women’s conversations are a little more complicated.

Shion suffered in it for nearly two hours before she finally got out. The bitter taste of the thick Americano spread all over her mouth.

“It’s bitter, but my husband’s white and sticky stuff is enough.”

It is a sex drip that only married women can play.

Shion led her mentally exhausted body to a nearby mart. She’s not in a good mood, but it dawned on her that this evening she’d better grill pork back ribs and eat them with a flair.

Meat! Meat! Healthy and tasty meat!

If you ask Shion what she likes next to the worst, she will first say virtue, and then if you ask her what she likes next, she will say sex. If you ask them what they like next, they will say meat.

Meat is always right. People who have gone through something sad should be given meat and money, she said. If you’re in a bad mood, eating meat is one way to relieve it.

The shopping cart of a person who is not worried about money is as heavy as a wallet. Worst of all, if you ate a lot of Shion, you ate, but not too little, so you can easily spend 2,300,000 won for meat for one meal.

I feel sad when I only eat meat, so I buy some vegetables to mix with the side dish, and I also buy snacks.

Shion also knows how to cook on his own, as he resembles the worst, whose hobby is cooking. However, it is a bit boring because it is a way to match the recipe.

Finally, a tissue.

A lot of toilet paper.

It was only natural that the purchase of toilet paper was large in proportion to the amount of toilet paper consumed, which was evidence of a smooth sex life between the two as proof that the marriage between the couple was good. Even on days when I lighten it, it goes over 10 times, and then it’s work to deal with it. After a bout of work, washing the blankets was a daily routine.

After buying all the necessary things, it was bulky, but the weight was no joke. Shion’s strength is only the strength of an average adult woman, and she cannot demonstrate more strength unless she uses it in earnest.

Most annoying (important).

I ordered miscellaneous items such as snacks and toilet paper to be delivered separately, and decided to bring the meat and vegetables myself, putting them in a shopping cart and returning home. With no one in her, her empty home greeted her.

“It’s quiet every time I come back, but it would be nice to have a pet.”

In the worst case anyway, let alone the opposite, you will be torn between a cat and a dog. It’s not that I don’t have enough energy, and the house isn’t small, so there was no reason not to raise it.

Shion is on the cat side. They don’t have to be taken for walks, and they know how to cover their bowels by themselves, so if you feed them, they’re easy pets to raise.

The worst is on the dog side. This is because they are very affectionate, active, and recognize their owners.

These two have very distinct differences and tastes. Nevertheless, looking at the fact that they have been married like newlyweds for thousands of years, we can see that mutual respect is the source.

Shion first ripped her back ribs off the pack and seasoned them with salt and pepper, along with the proper sheath. Because she is more like a machine than a living being, she is able to evenly match the liver without making a single gram of error.

If you make the vegetable side in advance, the water will come out and become muddy, so wash it and put it in the refrigerator. Just before eating later, slice and mix.

Rice is my favorite bean rice. Put raw rice mixed with beans in a pressure cooker and turn it. It’s convenient because you just have to press a button.

“I’m ready”

And the seasoned back ribs are ready, the side dishes are ready, and the rice is in the process of being cooked.

After finishing work, Shion had a good time despite spending time alone, quietly and without talking to anyone.

For her, the time she spends waiting for her loved ones is much more valuable and enjoyable than the time she spends with strangers.

Clap, Tiririk!

Hearing the sound of someone pressing the password on the door lock at the front door, Shion hurriedly ran to greet him.

“Have you been?”

“Yeah, was everything okay?”

“No big deal”

Silently, as if nothing had happened, Shion greeted him with a very light smile.

Her faint smile, which only the worst could recognize, showed how welcoming he was.
