When I quit my job, my co-workers became obsessed with me - When I quit my job, my co-workers became obsessed with me chapter 78

Taxi driver Oh Tae-soo was in a very good mood.

It was because he suddenly had to go back to his hometown, and while he thought that the business was over today, a customer who applied for a call to go to the same area appeared.

Just being able to earn money is satisfactory enough, but the fare is also reasonable, so it is not an exaggeration to say that the sky is helping him.

“あ.”

However, after such a feeling of flying away, he began to regret receiving the call.

“Heh heh, ⋯⋯.”

About ten minutes after departure, the customer in the back seat suddenly burst into tears.

I would have been able to give a word of encouragement if I cried coldly, but I couldn’t because I was trying to hide it by putting up with myself.

‘Yeonbyeong, if I had known this would be the case, I wouldn’t have gotten it.’

In this awkward atmosphere, thinking that he had to drive another two hours, Oh Tae-soo felt like his eyes were getting dark.

―Next, we will tell you about the highway conditions. Currently, traffic congestion is continuing due to an accident near the junction of Novell IC Pia. I will connect with the Korea Expressway Corporation and check the road conditions⋯⋯.

Oh Tae-soo turned off the radio.

‘Hey, the car is already clogged up, but it makes people feel good⋯⋯. If you’re going to cry, cry coolly and end it!’

All sorts of words were running through his throat, but he couldn’t put it into his mouth.

It was because the crying man looked so frightening. No, it’s not just the face. The neck was the size of an ordinary person’s, and the forearms swelled up as if they had put a power pole inside something, so if you touched them the wrong way, it seemed that the way home would become a road to the underworld.

I was sweating profusely in a situation where I couldn’t do this or that, when I heard someone knocking on the console box.

“Knight.”

It was Choi Da-jeong, the wife of Lee Tae-hwan, the culprit of the current situation, and the mother of Da-som.

With a soft smile, she spoke to Oh Tae-soo.

“Do you have any tissues?”

“Oh, yes. sure.”

Tae-soo Oh quickly took out a travel tissue from the console box and handed it to him.

“thank you.”

Choi Da-jeong took the tissue and stabbed Lee Tae-hwan, who was sitting next to him, on the back.

“honey.”

“Whoa, ooh, why?”

“If you are going to cry, cry coolly. Don’t let the people who see you feel frustrated.”

“What? cry? who?”

“You.”

“Your wife is real!”

A loud shout rang out with the momentum to shatter the inside of the taxi.

“Who, who is crying? It makes a normal person weird⋯⋯.”

“Look.”

“Ah, that’s right, don’t touch it!”

With a sigh, Da-jeong Choi grabbed Lee Tae-hwan’s forearm and started wiping her tear-stained face with a tissue.

“Come on, let it go.あ. Yes, why does Dasomi hate you? I apologized properly and it’s all over. Yes, it will never happen, so rest assured.”

People who eat as much as they want to eat and have a body the size of a house are just as timid as they used to be.

Can not help it. Because nature itself is as pure and delicate as glass. And that’s what’s attractive about it.

‘You’re cute.’

A bright smile bloomed on Choi Da-jung’s mouth at the cutest appearance she had not seen in a long time.

“⋯⋯Why are you smiling?”

“No, it just ⋯⋯ just reminds me of the old days. Someone’s face keeps coming to mind today. Who was it? There was a boy who cried profusely because he vomited over talking with another guy for a while because of theater club practice⋯⋯.”

Although it was deliberately made up to see his true intentions, who showed only a wooden reaction no matter how much he was courting, he didn’t know that he would cry so much.

“Hey, why is that story coming out now?”

“I think it’s still cute as it was back then.”

Da-jeong Choi, who had been tormenting Lee Tae-hwan by pouring out unfamiliar words for a while, stretched with a bright smile as if she was satisfied.

“honey.”

“⋯⋯.”

“Hey, I won’t make fun of you anymore, so listen to me. Because it’s Dasom’s story.”

“What is ⋯⋯?”

“Were you there?”

“What kind of nonsense is it all of a sudden?”

“I mean, Dojin. No matter what your parents say, you are on the side of Dasom.”

As soon as Choi Da-jeong finished speaking, Lee Tae-hwan’s face was wrinkled.

“Oh my, why? Didn’t you like it?”

“What do you like? look what he’s talking about People are pouring out embarrassing words, but listening to them makes me feel like a bug crawling in my ear. I get goosebumps.”

“why? I like it because it’s cute and pretty. But I think I watched a lot of dramas. I was scolded for holding back my laughter in the middle.”

“Ah, that’s okay!”

“jealousy? Did he just tremble in front of my dad?”

“Even if not!”

Da-jeong Choi, who smiled bitterly, spoke in a soft tone.

“Are you doing this to get away with it?”

Lee Tae-hwan, startled by the words stabbing Jeong-gok, sighed and said.

“You too, let go of your regrets. You have someone you like.”

“Can’t you score a goal if you have a goalkeeper?”

In an instant, a chilling energy rose from Taehwan’s neck.

“It’s done⋯⋯. Never say that in front of Dasomi.”

“Yes Yes. who said what It’s just that.”

Da-jeong Choi turned her head and looked out the window. As my husband said, now is the time to step back. Because that’s what my daughter wants.

However, as an individual Choi Da-jung, she cannot give up. It’s hard to find a man like that anywhere. I can’t stand it because my stomach hurts to give it to others like this.

‘Would you like to roll your head a little when you return?’

Of course, I’m not sure if the method I used in the past will still work, but at least it’s better than not doing it.

Da-jeong Choi, who had been groaning for a long time, muttered as she hugged Tae-hwan’s forearm.

“Child, I don’t know. It will be fine.”

“what?”

Yes, no need to worry. After all, it won’t take long for the child to become aware of his heart⋯⋯.

Let us help you when that time comes. A lot, by all means available.

“It’s just that.”

* * *

At the same time, Dasom was sitting on a chair and putting ice on the snow.

“How are you feeling?”

After removing the ice, Dasom said, blinking her eyes.

“I can’t go out today.”

“Oh, Mr.⋯⋯.”

Dasom put the ice on the snow again, leaving Yudojin’s grinning face behind him.

“⋯⋯Have you been well?”

Dasom said as if muttering.

“How long have you been gone? I’ll call you when you arrive.”

“I thought I’d give you a ride, too.”

“Because it’s okay. I declined because the two of you also need time to think.”

“Is that so?”

“yes.”

With those words, Yoo Yu-jin jumped up and took a new ice pack from the refrigerator and handed it to Dasom.

“Ah, thank you.”

“Okay, so what do you do with your eyes?”

A thin moan escaped from Dasom’s mouth.

After a few minutes for the silence to flow again, Dasom, who was fiddling with the ice pack, opened her mouth.

“Dojin-ah.”

“yes?”

“Did anyone like you⋯⋯?”

“Uh, yes. What⋯⋯.”

Dasom, who burst into laughter at the somewhat ridiculous response, answered with a humorous voice.

“It’s okay. I won’t ask who it is.”

Thinking of the past that Yoo Yu-jin had a girl he liked again made me worried, but I was happy nonetheless.

The first reason was that Yu Yu-jin was proud of overcoming the pain of the past.

The second reason was that he was purely glad that he came running for himself even in a situation where he might be misunderstood by the woman he likes.

“When you get back, explain it to him properly. I will misunderstand you.”

“I already know.”

“That, right? Still, it must have been a little uncomfortable for that person⋯⋯, would you like to tell me about it too?”

“Okay, he’s not that kind of ignorant.”

So I guess you’ll like it

Dasom suddenly had a thought.

“But I have to tell you soon. Go now, now.”

“I’m going to clean up the house.”

“It will take a long time to get rid of him⋯⋯. I’ll sort this out later and go and apologize to him today. No matter what happens, you have endured a lot.”

Dasom became worried about her younger brother, who had no sense of crisis.

“Just because you say YES doesn’t mean you are 100% YES, right? If you move around like that without notice⋯⋯.”

Dasom, who was still speaking, abruptly covered her mouth.

“I’m sorry, I said I didn’t say that anymore.”

It was difficult to remove the stuck dust at once.

An awkward air began to flow between the two of them again at the words that were difficult to respond to.

“Hey, Dojin-ah. I’m just saying this when the words came out⋯⋯.”

Dasom, who was wiggling her fingers, glanced at Yu-jin and said.

“I’m sorry. Really, she made a lot of mistakes.”

“what?”

Contrary to expectations, Dasom’s shoulders shrugged at the question that seemed to ask the reason.

“Tell me, what are you so sorry for?”

“That ⋯⋯ that you threw away your plastic model and comic books, that you couldn’t watch the movies you wanted to see, that you forced yourself to eat food you didn’t like, that you meddled in everything, that you couldn’t buy a car, and that you stalked you⋯⋯.”

Dasom, who had been muttering for a while, closed her eyes tightly and said.

“I’m sorry that Dojin overlapped you with Dajun ⋯⋯.”

“okay? Is that all?”

“Yes.”

As soon as the words were finished, Yu Yu-jin, who got up abruptly, staggered toward Lee Da-som.

“sister.”

“Uh, what⋯⋯?”

“Forehead.”

“Hey, why is your forehead all of a sudden?”

“hurry.”

Dasom hurriedly removed her hair with both hands and exposed her forehead.

“Close your eyes.”

“Yes.”

Yujin took a deep breath and opened her mouth.

“Egg ribs rice bowl.”

With those words, a stinging energy rose up on Dasom’s forehead.

“Tomato Eggplant Gratin, Nurungji Mushroom Chicken, Potato Pizza⋯⋯.”

Just, just, just right. Every time he finished speaking, Yudojin’s chestnut pounded on Leedasom’s forehead. It wasn’t enough to say that it hurts when you eat each one, but since the amount is sheep, it felt quite spicy.

“The thing that prevented me from seeing it at Guntop 4 theaters, the deletion of my White Island account, and the thing that I soaked in the bathtub of the Playbox 4 I bought in line all night⋯⋯.”

Tears welled up in Dasom’s eyes, who had just had a bad night. Not because he was sick, but because what he had done felt so absurd and wicked.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was really crazy. Yu Yu-jin, who stood by her side even after being humiliated like that, felt like a saint from a textbook.

“The 40th anniversary commemoration of 200 limited edition RG Rownew Gundam metallic coated version was thrown away.”

damn it!

A cannon-like sound resounded throughout the house. Even Dasom couldn’t hold back the screams that came out of her mouth this time.

But this is nothing. It was because the punishment for the most heinous act had yet to come.

He projected his younger brother at will and became obsessed with him.

After a while, at the weight of the punishment to come, Dasom shook her shoulders and closed her eyes tightly.

“sister.”

“Neh, Neet⋯⋯.”

“Do you remember when I caught a cold?”

In response to a rather random question, Dasom opened her eyes slightly and looked at his face.

“When I was in the second semester of my sophomore year. There was a time when you collapsed after the final exam.”

Did that happen?

Rather than not remembering, there were so many similar memories that I couldn’t tell what was what.

Dasom tilted her head for a moment, then grabbed her forehead in surprise.

“Ah, that’s a thing in the past⋯⋯, so I can remember it very well⋯⋯.”

“I was fine until the day before, but I have been sick since dawn. It was so cold that I trembled, and when I woke up in the morning, I had no energy.”

“Hey, that must have been hard.”

“Yeah, it was hard. It was so painful that I didn’t have the energy to get up, so I just lay on the floor, and I thought I was going to die because I was sick and there was no one to help me.”

Yoo-jin, who picked up the ice pack on the desk and brought it to Dasom’s forehead, continued speaking as it was.

“Then my sister came. After banging on the door for a while, you shouted at the owner of the house, a whale whale, and opened the door.”

“Is that so?”

It must have been one or two times that Dojin opened the door.

She trembled again at her absurd behavior.

“Anyway⋯⋯The porridge that my sister made back then couldn’t have been so delicious.”

It was then that Yu Yu-jin began to recognize her as a ‘side’ she could rely on rather than a friend.

And, because such memories existed, he was able to recall them again when Han Yeo-reum helped him. The taste of the porridge I ate that day, and the pleasant memories, everything.

I had the courage to start over.

“sister.”

Yu Yu-jin carefully wrapped her hands around Ida-som’s with both hands.

“Whatever it was, the important thing was that my sister was by my side, and that alone was a huge help to me.”

* * *

Yu Yu-jin left, and Lee Da-som, who was left alone, sat blankly at the table.

No, I wasn’t completely blank. She was fiddling with her hands.

I don’t know why, but I keep touching it.

‘Why, why?’

Dasom was embarrassed by her actions, but was frustrated because she could not figure out the reason.

It’s not just being shy. For her, the act of holding Yu-jin’s hand was a natural act that she would have done dozens of times before, and that was not enough, because the day before, she even lay on the bed and clasped her hands.

Even then, she didn’t feel ashamed at all.

If so, something must have changed.

She began to recall what had happened very slowly, little by little, to find out why.

First of all, I was hit hard by Yoo Ji-jin. It hurt. Then he put an ice cube on his forehead. this was cool

And finally he knelt down and wrapped his large hand around his.

So it was warm. That was all.

If so, what was special or strange about it?

She pondered the face of the man standing in front of her.

His hair, as usual, was shiny black and well-groomed, giving it a neat and clean taste.

The nose also stood up straight, giving the viewer a cool and clear feeling.

Next, his lips were protruding and looked soft, and I thought that the pink lips of a pretty color that reminded him of his attention to detail would suit him well.

Although there was still a murky light in the pupils, I felt a decadent charm, probably because of the long eyelashes.

There was nothing special about the shoulders that stretched out below the face. As usual, he was well trodden with exercise, and his chest looked firm.

A thought suddenly flashed through Dasom’s head as she kept her chin on her chin and continued her thoughts.

Did Dojin originally look like that?

Wasn’t it a slightly rounder ⋯⋯ and cute-looking face? like a puppy.

Dasom’s eyes, which were slowly groping for memories, suddenly opened.

That was Dajun’s face. In the meantime, he had been looking at Da-Jun over him.

In retrospect, this may have been the first time I’d seen Yu-Jin’s face without thinking of Da-Jun Lee.

Dasom picked up her cell phone as it was and searched for a group of male idols that are gaining popularity recently. And he was sure.

‘My little brother⋯⋯Are you handsome?’

I didn’t even get plastic surgery, but this is the level where I need to get it right now.

No, it’s not just the face, it’s the whole aura, it should be said that there is a filter on it, but when I look at his photos, it feels like something like twinkling stars is floating around me.

Why didn’t I notice it until now?

no, more than that.

I’m with someone like that.

We cook together, go to amusement parks, hold hands and ride a roller coaster, take pictures, and skate together.

They lied in the same bed under the same roof and hugged each other for days.

“No, no, no, my brother, my brother. It’s convenient.”

Dasom shouted into the air as if making excuses.

But he couldn’t stop the thoughts that were flowing.

Yes.

Such a wonderful person threw away the person they liked and ran to them in a hurry.

And then he held his hand tightly with that hot hand.

No, not just this time.

When I was yelled at by the professor for ruining my assignment, when I felt depressed after fighting with my parents, when I was moaning in pain.

He was always by my side.

“⋯⋯.”

My heart doesn’t stop beating My whole body feels like it’s on fire, and my chest tightens.

She was bewildered by the feeling she was experiencing for the first time.
