Episode 91 Love Rides the Music
The mug has cooled down
.
The director tilts the glass to his lips.
The wind no longer blew through the coffee cup.
widely.
As soon as he put down the mug, the director’s mouth opened.
“Youngjun, please give me some advice.”
“What advice?”
“How should I rest so that people will know that I’m resting well?”
“Excuse me? What are you talking about?”
“Youngjun is a senior who is unemployed.”
Director Lee looks at me with his arms crossed.
If you asked with a smile.
I probably just thought it was a joke and let it go.
That expression is so serious.
“No, I’m not unemployed. I’m a freelancer. A freelancer.”
I got angry without realizing it.
He answered with a slight frown.
Whether I do it or not.
The director is either listening or not.
“Well, that’s it.”
He answered calmly.
“It’s clearly different, isn’t it?”
“Ah. Okay. So? What did you do after quitting your job, Youngjun?”
He waved his hand as if he was annoyed. He waved his hand in the air.
“What did I do after quitting my job? I just lay around all day.”
“You’re not doing anything?”
“I watch YouTube. I watch Netflix. I watch LikTalk.”
“···”
“Well. I’ve been pretty busy lying down.”
Lying down doesn’t mean you’re not doing anything.
These days, there are a lot of things to do even if you just sit in the corner of the room.
“··· Don’t you get bored if you do that every day?”
I tilted my head at the director’s question of whether I was bored.
“Are you bored? What is it?”
As I scratch my head, the director looks at me with a tired expression.
“No. Really. Never? Have you ever felt bored in your life?”
“Do you know that I feel bored?”
I smiled meaningfully.
Tilt your head to one side.
“Okay. Okay. If I talk about it, my mouth will hurt.”
The director waves his hand again.
He looks at me with such a resigned expression.
“I called you to ask how things were after you quit, but I don’t think you’ll be of much help.”
“Everyone is different. Enjoy it your way, Director Lee.”
There was nothing more to say.
Because our personalities are different.
Doesn’t everyone have their own way of living?
With that thought, I pushed my chair back.
“Let’s get up now for today.”
“Already?”
“Mr. Lee, your complexion doesn’t look good. Go inside and rest for a bit. You’ll have a lot of time on your hands.”
After roughly clearing the table.
I put my keyboard bag on my back.
This manager also gets up from his seat and follows me.
So I got up from my seat and saw Director Lee going towards the entrance first.
“Ah! Not there. This way. Let’s go out.”
He turned around and gestured.
“The back door? If I go out this way, it’s the way back.”
“There’s a pharmacy in this building. I’ll stop by for a bit.”
That’s why I say it so casually.
“What’s going on, Youngjun?”
The director’s eyes turn round.
**
Break up with this manager.
On the way back home.
I got a call from this representative.
“Yes. What’s going on? This director? We just parted ways. Yes. Yes. I just got home.”
I answered the phone as I opened the front door and went in.
I took off my shoes and pressed the call button.
“No. I have a performance coming up these days, so I’m a bit out of it.”
I pull my socks off with my toes while answering the phone.
After skillfully grabbing the end of the sock with your thumb and index toe.
Shut.
I threw it towards the laundry basket.
“No. No. I’m not really busy. Is there something urgent?”
Bam.
A sock that was flying in a parabolic arc fails to enter the box and falls to the floor.
I hesitated for a moment before putting the socks back in the laundry basket.
“Oh, I see. Then after the performance. Yes. Yes. Are you okay, sir?”
It’s a shame, but we’ll see you next time.
Thump.
I just threw myself on the bed.
“Okay, I understand. Then I’ll go sometime during the week. Okay, I understand.”
After hanging up the phone, put the phone down.
I spoke to this representative on the phone.
Network team and development team.
It looks like their positions haven’t been sorted out yet.
‘Two teams are fighting. Even if it has nothing to do with me.’
The development team was the problem. Developers have strong egos.
The developers have to be convinced, no matter what, so I can go and tune the program with peace of mind.
“Oh my.”
I always feel this, but it’s not the work that’s hard, it’s the people.
‘I really don’t think I’ll ever be able to go to work again.’
I keep sighing as I think about that.
It was hard to blame anyone. Everyone’s circumstances and interests were complicatedly intertwined.
If you’re a crazy person, you might as well just hit him.
If you look closely, there aren’t any bad guys out there.
Even though things haven’t been completely resolved yet, a fairly large sum of money has arrived in my account.
nevertheless.
“Ugh. Let’s just deal with this one thing and not look at Ive for the time being.”
Because I don’t want to get involved again.
I make that promise again and again.
**
Charity concert day.
The bare keyboard behind me rattled, urging me on.
I was a little late.
It may be a little late though.
‘There’s no set time anyway.’
This is supposedly a charity concert.
Anyway, it was just a street performance among us.
It was promised in advance that the donation would be delivered to Wolgye Temple.
However, it was not an event hosted by Wolgye Temple.
We were the only people who could be called officials.
nevertheless.
“It sounds pretty plausible.”
It’s as if there is a subject.
Large speakers and sound equipment, the kind you’d see at a big event, were lined up along the plaza.
It looks like Seongtae was very concerned.
– Charity performance to help starving children at Wolgye Temple.
Even the banner flutters in the wind.
Oh my. It’s grand. It’s grand.
I did it like this.
It’s like we’re doing something great.
While looking at the banner, feeling satisfied with myself.
“Hey. Why are you so late? Hurry up. Aren’t you going to set up? What are you doing?”
I turned my head when I heard Seongtae’s voice.
“You said you were going to do all the installation?”
“No. How can I do everything? I plan it. You guys have to use the body.”
“I’m not a physical person. I’m a brain person.”
Then he tapped my head with his fingers.
“Brain, what the heck. Move quickly. You’re late and talk too much.”
“Oh. Youngjun is here.”
“Oh, you’re late again. Huh? Why aren’t you wearing makeup? Change here?”
My pupils dilated at Myeonggyu’s words. Only then did I notice the clothes the other kids were wearing.
Spider-Man. Steel Man. Green Monster. Bat Detective.
Everyone turned into heroes and carried the load.
I’m the only one wearing casual clothes.
On top of being late, I didn’t even wear the right outfit.
that is.
I feel so sorry.
“Sorry. Sorry. I didn’t bring it.”
He put on a shameless expression and apologized sincerely.
“Oh. Why. You’re the main character today.”
“Yeah. The princess outfit really draws aggro.”
“If there was at least one transvestite, wouldn’t the fundraising be quicker?”
Then you should cross-dress. Leaving aside the nonsensical words, he put down the keyboard.
I plugged in the wires and set up the instruments as Seongtae instructed.
After that, Seongtae pushed the speaker to the location he wanted.
And finally.
With the donation box, the real star of today, in the middle.
“I hope everyone is happy today.”
Kookyoung took the microphone.
“Please recommend a dinner menu.”
He gives his own commentary while playing the instrument.
“Dakgalbi. Haejangguk. Sundaeguk. Budaejjigae. And then, oh, too bad, the intermission is over.”
I was mumbling to myself like a madman and then the song started.
“Why do apples fall to the ground.”
He sings into the microphone, cursing and cursing.
Noise and song. A melody somewhere in between spreads across the square.
Honestly, the national song itself wasn’t anything special.
Still.
It made pedestrians stop in their tracks.
It seemed like they were looking at them wondering what they were doing.
“The fact that it’s not because of gravity.”
Guk-yeong singing while smiling.
The smile of the national team quickly spread through the music.
“Because of the pesticide on my mother’s hands. The apples fell to the ground. To the ground.”
Guk-yeong smiling even while cursing.
After singing like that for a while.
A little child came walking unsteadily.
Then, he put the one thousand won bill his mother had given him into the collection box.
“Thank you, little girl. You did a good job. Go ask your mom to buy you a hamburger today.”
Kook-young picks up the microphone and shows off his talents.
There is definitely a catch.
If only he could sing well, he would have been the best vocalist.
Every time a passerby puts money in the collection box, the song is interrupted to express gratitude.
So after finishing one song, we took a short break.
“Did you come out of church?”
An old man who had been watching sticks his head out while carrying a backpack behind his back.
“No, that’s not it. If I had to be specific… it’s an event held at a temple.”
“Oh! From the temple? Nice to meet you.”
“Are you sleeping?”
“I’m telling you. I’m the 65th generation descendant of Wonhyo Daesa. Do you know Wonhyo Daesa? That Wonhyo Daesa married Princess Yoseok and…”
I gave birth to a son named Seol Chong. No. No. I told you from the beginning that Seol Geo Baek was the first generation descendant.
“···”
He suddenly appears and recites his family tree. He has a good memory for his age.
For a moment, a question crossed my mind as to why on earth there were monks among my ancestors.
“The 36th generation descendant, Seol Ja-seung, became the Minister of State. His family origin is Sunchang···”
I quickly came to my senses and shook my head. If I had asked one question wrong, I might not be able to go home today.
I waited until the old man stopped talking. Then, at that moment, he caught his breath as if he was out of breath.
He quickly interrupted her and asked a question.
“Oh, I see. But which temple do you go to, sir?”
“I don’t go. I’ve never been to a temple. Instead, I. Here. Here. It’s in my blood.”
The old man points to the artery. I look around, not knowing how to react.
The kids shrugged their shoulders. Should I tell them that I have to prepare for the next performance? I was hesitating, thinking about it in my mind.
suddenly.
“The students are doing good things, so I have to add to them.”
Then, several ten-thousand-won bills went into the collection box.
I was momentarily taken aback and just stared blankly at the sight.
An old man who suddenly disappears, waving his hand.
‘There are still many good people in the world’
A heart that can give to someone, even if it’s something small.
Even though it’s fall and the weather has gotten chilly.
The warm hands of pedestrians continued to extend.
The fundraiser is filling up with happiness.
When the show is over and it’s time to pull out the strings on the instruments.
“There were more people than I expected.”
There was more interest than we had expected.
I felt proud for no reason.
There are so many good people.
I hope I can be of help to you.
I put the cash I had previously withdrawn from the ATM into an envelope and put it in the collection box.
The band members looked at me in surprise at my appearance.
“You. What are you?”
“Use it for a good cause.”
“How much is it?”
He snickered. The amount of money doesn’t really matter. It’s the feeling that counts.
As I spoke, I thought to myself that I was cool.
The moment you turn your back while pretending to be cool.
At that moment.
“Hey, pick the lock.”
At Myeong-gyu’s gesture, Seong-tae ran to get the key.
“That kid didn’t just put in an empty envelope.”
“No, I saw it and it had some volume.”
“It could have been inflated by putting in a thousand won note.”
Seongtae was already holding the key and fiddling with the lock.
They stick to the donation box like a swarm of bees and try to get rid of it.
Finally, Seongtae found my envelope and looked inside.
“···Don’t you need a driver?”
As usual, he was talking nonsense.
