Time Mansour - Chapter 42



Only Noblemtl

Episode 42 Korea Jaeshirong

The number of subscribers has already exceeded ten thousand.

After getting permission from the children’s parents.

I applied for monetization of my Otube channel.

Well, it won’t be a lot of money.

I hope this will ease Da-eun’s burden a little.

“Da-eun could act a little more like a child.”

Sit down on a chair and look up at the ceiling.

If there is any income from YouTube, Da-eun’s mother won’t be able to refuse.

Because it’s a channel that kids create and make money from.

The justification was sufficient.

In the end, it turned out just the way I thought.

But since you started something, you can clean it up.

Even though it wasn’t the direction I wanted.

The destination is roughly similar in atmosphere.

“No matter where you go, if you go to Seoul, you’ll be fine.”

I was smiling happily while thinking about the kids like that.

widely.

I stood up again. For a moment, the chair wobbled.

‘You still haven’t taken the contract out of your bag?’

I pulled the zipper of the bag to both sides.

A crumpled contract appears inside.

A contract that was almost torn apart.

“This is useless. I’ll have to pull it out again.”

So I opened the printer cover.

Check once to make sure the ink hasn’t dried.

“Is this real? It got this many views?”

“I don’t think my contribution is that big. I’m the only one taking the class.

“Wow. There are a lot of comments.”

After class, I showed the video to the children.

Children who enjoy watching lecture videos.

Because I’m at an age where I like to be the center of attention.

While chatting, I keep watching the few videos I have.

Fingerprints are often left on children’s phones.

“Sir! Please upload my RickTalk video here too.”

“I don’t like it. It’s annoying.”

“Ah. Why? A lot of people watch my videos, so please upload them.”

Sohyun pretends to be angry.

He frowned and crossed his arms.

The slender arms overlap diagonally.

“If you want to upload it, upload it yourself. Check the chat room. I sent you the ID and password.”

I posted my Otube ID and password in the group chat.

I check the chat room and Sohyun looks at me with surprised eyes.

“Huh? Can I just tell you this?”

“What else can’t I upload? Upload whatever you want.”

Well. It’s not my channel to begin with. It’s a kids’ channel.

Because it’s a channel that started with kids talking.

Even if the number of views decreases and the channel fails.

I think it’s right to end it by laughing among themselves.

“Oh! Thank you, sir. I have to upload it now.”

Sohyun answered like that.

I lower my head and press the screen of my phone.

“Teacher. Then can I upload it too?”

“Of course. But what kind of video are you going to upload?”

“It’s a secret. Check back later.”

Junwoo has a sinister smile on his lips.

Surely that’s not something weird to post?

I feel uneasy for some reason.

I was going to ask for more details.

“But if I give you a little hint… Ah. No.”

I think you secretly want me to ask.

“Okay.”

I just decided not to wonder.

“Really… you’ll be surprised when you see it later.”

Junwoo timidly leaves a lingering impression.

I think it’s a little cute that the mouth is sticking out.

Junwoo is just a child pretending to be an adult.

on the other side.

I turned my head and looked at Da-eun.

Unlike the kids who were just excited.

Da-eun keeps replaying the video.

“···I made a mistake here. I have to be careful next time.”

Rub the screen of your phone with your hands like bracken.

Check carefully what you said.

He just seems like an adult in child’s clothing.

Always be careful with every word you say.

Except when playing games.

Why does something so small think so much?

Sometimes it’s okay to just say something without thinking.

That’s just how kids are.

He looked at Da-eun with his chin resting on his hand and deep in thought.

suddenly.

“Sir. You’ve become ugly again?”

Sohyun sticks her face in.

With his eyes wide open and his head tilted.

“Only you will do it.”

He smiled brightly, showing his teeth.

I just laughed without thinking.

**

In my sister’s room.

Prepare for the last class.

It started out of the blue.

Before I knew it, more than a month had already passed.

Hackathon taking place this weekend.

Now, all I have to do is finish it well.

I didn’t have high expectations for the competition.

Because time was short, I only taught the basics.

Still, Junwoo and Da-eun studied hard in class.

We won’t fall too far behind other teams.

and.

I hope Sohyun doesn’t get into any accidents.

I try to give meaning to the fact that it’s the last.

So absorbed in emotion.

I was looking out the window in my room.

Gulp.

Suddenly, the boat starts playing music.

Because it’s annoying, I just try to ignore it.

Gulp. Gulp.

It keeps hitting the same beat in my stomach as if telling me not to ignore it.

**

Daughter.

When you go into the convenience store.

I saw a familiar face at the checkout counter.

“Uncle. Hello.”

“Hello. Have you eaten yet?”

“I’m going to eat it now.”

Da-eun pours water into the ramen and walks to the table.

Seeing that, I also did the math and followed suit.

“Then let’s eat together.”

I bought two triangle kimbap and threw them in the microwave.

Then, pour water into the cup ramen. The noodles will be completely submerged in the hot water.

“Why do you always eat here? Why don’t you go home?”

“Just like that.”

Instead of answering, Da-eun mumbles with a laugh.

I don’t want to ask any more questions because I think it’s difficult to answer.

The child asks me first.

“But why are you so kind, Uncle?”

“Good-looking people are all originally kind.”

After I gave a vague answer as if it were a joke,

Ding. The microwave’s light goes off.

Take out two triangle kimbap and place them on the table.

“No, he’s not handsome. He’s kind. Really.”

It’s not that it’s not. Let me emphasize it again.

“Isn’t there anyone in the world that you dislike, Uncle?”

“It happened before.”

“If it was there… it’s not there now?”

I nodded. I looked at the night sky without realizing it.

Actually, I couldn’t see anything outside the window, but I just pretended to see it.

“Actually, there is someone I hate.”

Da-eun took a bite of the triangle kimbap after thinking about it. Her heart sank.

He chews rice with a bitter expression.

“But still… I’ll be sad if that person disappears forever.”

Da-eun opens her eyes wide and looks at me at my question.

He blinks his eyes as if to ask if he knows who it is.

I want to tell you that I understand that feeling well.

Then it seems like I’m pretending to understand too much, so just do it.

“It looks delicious.”

I put a piece of ramen noodles into my mouth.

Is it because I’m getting older and my gums are getting weaker?

Because cotton keeps getting stuck between my teeth.

I felt really uncomfortable.

**

On the day of the competition.

Quite a few students gathered in the auditorium.

Hackathon.

It’s a combination of the words hacking and marathon.

It’s not a hack, it’s not a marathon.

Words are made up of many different things.

100-day celebration, private life competition, hackathon.

In fact, they are all similar competitions, just with different events.

“There are so many people.”

“Wow. Is this a famous competition?”

Junwoo raises his head and looks at me.

I couldn’t meet Junwoo’s eyes and avoided them.

I don’t know. I don’t know.

I also found out about the elementary school hackathon through an advertisement.

After trying so hard to avoid eye contact.

“Huh? We’re starting soon. Fighting, everyone.”

I quickly leave after seeing the officials going up to the stage.

I watched from afar with my arms crossed in the guardian’s seat.

The children check the application form and listen to the explanation first.

The moment the elementary school team project was announced.

-Home software to help you live harmoniously at home with your family.

‘Oh my. The theme is real.’

As soon as I saw the subject, I frowned briefly.

Without realizing it, I strained my eyes and looked at the children’s expressions.

Among our children, Da-eun is the only one who has both parents.

Medically speaking.

It’s a common topic, especially at kids’ competitions.

It wasn’t exactly the organizers’ fault.

Still, I felt uneasy.

Fortunately, no one seems to care much.

From a distance, it looks like usual.

I kept my gaze fixed on the children.

Suddenly someone spoke to me.

“Are you an instructor?”

“No. I’m the children’s guardian. I’ve done some development and taught the children. But I’m not an instructor….”

He shook his head from side to side.

And I wasn’t even a professional instructor.

Because I didn’t even have a license in the first place.

It was a bit ambiguous to say that the instructor was right.

“Ah… Excuse me… Where did you work? No. It’s nothing else. I just think you look familiar. Were you an SI developer at Hyesung or Dongji?”

“Me? No. I have never done SI development. I worked at White Soft until recently, but···”

“Ah… I’m sorry. I think I mistook you for someone else.”

Bow your head like that.

Returning to your seat.

“match.”

He lightly clapped his hands.

I turned my head again.

“That… That’s the instructor from Haiti at noon, right? The one who does O-Tube.”

“Ah! Yes. That’s right.”

“And the white soft cotton. That spring… Ah! The IT problem solver at noon. The team that makes the manual?

The name used in the library and homepage was the same as the channel name on Otube.

Well, of course.

From the beginning, it was an O-Tube channel created with the aim of selling books, riding on the back of Jaeshirong’s influence.

“yes that’s right.

“That’s right. The names are the same, but I didn’t think of that. They’re in completely different fields.”

A man who exclaims admiration.

I just looked at the guy and laughed.

‘I guess that person was a Spring developer too.’

Because I’ve created so many library manuals.

Compared to my skills, my name was somewhat well-known.

“But how come you are teaching children? You must have a lot of people calling you. You could go abroad.”

Ah. Where should I start explaining this?

I’m afraid it would be too long to explain everything.

“We already knew each other. It’s nice to make memories together during the vacation.”

“Ah. I see. You said you weren’t a real instructor.”

Just make up some words.

The man nodded, scratching his head at my lie.

**

A man who introduced himself as a former SI developer.

Before I knew it, he was next to me and chatting away.

“Are they them? Oh, they look smart. Let’s see. I wonder how well the kids who learned from Korea Jaeshil Long will do.”

“Nose… what?”

“It’s a nickname. Everyone in Korea calls me that.”

“Me?”

“Yes. To be exact, that team. You’re similar. With Jaeshirong.”

Jaeshirong and I have overlapping areas of activity.

So, I got a call asking if we could write a book together.

But other than that, honestly, there was no resemblance.

Before I knew Jaeshirong, I would have been proud.

To be honest, I’m a little embarrassed right now.

That gentleman was just a talkative old man.

“But didn’t you say you watched our YouTube video?”

“Yes. I saw it. The concept was good.”

“no.”

“yes?”

“It’s not a concept. It’s real.”

“then···”

A man points his finger at children.

Because the children’s faces weren’t shown in the video.

I guess they didn’t think we were the same kids.

“That’s right. You’ve already seen the kids’ skills in the video.”

I smiled and shrugged.
