It had been more than a month until the opening class, but it was crowded in front of the gate.

They were mostly kids who came from elementary, middle and high school nearby.

Hansoo looked around the middle gate until he reached the end and saw the sign of the Miracle PC room, which was on the second floor of a shabby building.

Hansoo came in through the front door of the PC room and recognized the familiar face sitting on the counter at a glance.

Unlike Min Seo's sister, Sung-wook was the same as before.

“Sung-wook! ”

At first, Sung-wook, who was embarrassed, opened his eyes and looked at Hansook.

“Huh? Hey! Who are you? Did you just get discharged?”

“Yes, I got discharged a few days ago. Haha.”

“Wow, I heard everyone's military life is going fast. Have you already been there? You should have come out a little harder. ”

“Bro, what are you saying? What happened to you? I thought you were going to continue secretary Seong-chil, but you set up the PC room and surprised me. ”

At the end of Hansoo's sentence, Seong-wook's face darkened. He smiles beautifully and points to an empty spot.

“Sit down. I haven't seen you in a long time. Let's just talk. What do you want?”

Sung-wook pointed to the sign on the counter. The sign had a variety of menus ranging from fried rice to pasta and stew.

“Do you cook? ”

*

The menu Hansoo ordered was vongole pasta.

While sitting in the PC room chair, Sungwook's home-cooked Vongole pasta arrived right before the keyboard.

I liked the visual and smelled better than I thought.

Hansoo asked with a light elasticity.

“You're a better cook than I thought. ”

“Dude, I've had my career for 15 years. I've mastered all the dishes. ”

“That's amazing. I've never boiled a cup in a PC room before, but I've never had pasta before. ”

“That's what PC rooms are like these days. Can't you do anything to survive? That's why I'm licensed to run a restaurant. Have you ever been to the palace before? ”

“Yes, I wanted to continue going to Seong-goon while I was in school. It doesn't make a difference between our school and the municipality. Job difficulties are obvious, so I was going to keep preparing for the civil service exam. ”

“Well, it's best if you're a government official. ”

“Then I stopped by once because my brother said he had a PC room in the middle door. It's been a long time since I've seen your face. ”

“Well done. It's been a long time. What's wrong with your head? It grows a little. Someone's gonna think you're joining the Army. Hehe.”

“It got caught by the regimental commander while eating in the restaurant. Oh, come on. Now, brother, this may be a sensitive question, but why did you drop the civil service exam? ”

Sung-wook hesitated and sighed for a long time.

“I've taken a few more tests, and they failed. That's why I thought it wasn't my way, and I dared to fold. I put all my money and my parents' money in here. If this goes down, I'm done. The end.”

Hansoo gladly said, watching Seong-wook, who was slitting his throat.

“It's going to be fine. Don't worry, I'll come and sell you out more often when I get back to school. ”

“Thank you. Eat before it gets cold. I'll take care of one when you get here. ”

“Really? I'll eat well, then. ”

Hansoo rolled the vongole pasta, cooked by Seong-wook, into his mouth with a fork. It tasted as good as Vongole pasta at a decent restaurant.

“Bro, you shouldn't have started a restaurant. This is really good. ”

“Stop trying to keep it in your face. If we set up a real restaurant, we won't be gone for days. ”

Hansoo rolled up the Vongole pasta and opened his mouth.

“Oh, I saw Minseo's sister in front of the library. ”

“Minseo? Oh, Minseo Park? ”

Hansoo nods, rolling another mouthful of Vongole pasta.

“Yes, she was very pretty. I passed the civil service exam. What happened to you? ”

“She's been working hard with poison for a long time. You've been paid for your hard work. Last year, I was a ninth grader and I decorated it, and I had a boyfriend, and he was great. Phew, I should have passed the civil servant exam, too. ”

“Oh, but you're the boss. His name is Ms. Grant. How can he be compared to a government official? ”

Seong-wook smiled and asked Hansoo as if he was feeling better.

“Shit. Thank you. Can I get you a Coke?”

“I'd like that. Huhu.”

Since then, Seong-wook briefly talked about what has happened over the past two years.

Shortly after Hansoo joined the military, the new Chancellor placed a slogan for a university with the highest clearance rate for public officials.

Then the new enema was added to the palace and Sungwook was kicked out of the secretariat.

In other words, he was completely waterlogged.

“If you can't stay, you'll have to go to school. ”

The distance from home to university is two hours by subway.

The end and end of Seoul.

I was already stunned.

“Are you really going to take the civil service exam? ”

“Yes, you should. ”

“Are you confident in being a government official? The last time I saw Hyo-jun, he told me to die only Ha-So-yeon. He's working late on a fictional day when he was assigned to Social Services. ”

“Hyo-jun, did you get in? ”

“Yeah, he got in with Minseo. There are only two masters. ”

That means that the seniors who shared a room with me also dropped out last year.

What are they doing now? If you have money at home, you can set up a PC room like Sung Wook, but if you don't, you may be making money late looking for a job or dressed in inappropriate clothes.

Hansoo frowned at the end of his nose when he realized that his friends who had once been together crying and laughing had disappeared without fulfilling his dream.

Hansoo stood up without showing it.

“I'll go in first. I have to clean out my grandfather's storage tomorrow. ”

“Yeah. Come back another time. Stay close to him. ”

“Thank you, brother. ”

Hansoo left Miracle PC's room.

On the way home on the subway, Hansoo crossed the Korean University entrance area.

Seeing her peers going up and down at this station, Hansoo gave a envious glance.

Perhaps some of them are students studying at the Korean University. I still have a month to open, but I really don't know.

In fact, some were over-dressed. Hankook National University (HNU).

Seeing them, I suddenly regretted not studying hard in high school.

Maybe that's why.

At this rate, I was worried that I wouldn't even be able to live with myself, let alone dream.

Today was the day I was supposed to clean out the warehouse at my grandfather's house. Hansoo looks at the rusted iron door with a frizzy face. Hansoo asked him, looking at his grandfather standing next to him.

“Grandpa, what's in that warehouse? ”

“Some antiques I collected a long time ago. ”

“Is there anything expensive? ”

“Well, it's all old fashioned, so there's nothing expensive. But if it's fate, it can be valuable to someone, right? So I'm going to organize it all at once today and then I'm going to find the right owner. ”

“How will you find your master? ”

“How did you find it? The person who will be the owner will come by himself. Haha.”

Hansoo smiles shyly.

Sometimes I felt it, but I didn't understand what my grandfather was saying.

At that time, my father handed Hansoo the gloves.

“Put this on because you might get hurt. Shall we begin?”

You pull out the old lock and open the storage door. A pile of dust bursts out of the room, and a spiderwebbed warehouse flashes in at a glance.

There were all kinds of antiques in the warehouse.

“First, let's stack the bulky stuff in the outer yard and move the rest step by step. ”

“Yes, Father. ”

It was time for me to pick up the antiques in the yard.

There was one that caught my eye.

It was an old brown tube TV. However, there appeared to be no major problems. Hansoo's father who saw it, about 21 inches in size, said with a glare.

“You still have this. ”

“Yes? What is this television? ”

“I bought it for my grandfather about 20 years ago because I didn't have a television at home. It should be working fine by now. ”

“Is that so?"

Hansoo grabs the television with a face that is not bulky.

It was then.

Suddenly, my strength was gone. Suddenly, my father asked me with a worried face, watching Hansoo take a picture of the buttocks.

“Hansoo, are you okay? ”

“Oh, yes. It's okay, Dad. ”

Hansoo got up from his seat with a trembling face.

“What's wrong with you? ”

“Well, yeah. I was exhausted. ”

“Do you want to take a little break? ”

“I'm just going to move this and rest. ”

“Let's do it.”

Hansoo flew the television outside with his father.

Meanwhile, my mom was shearing fruit and preparing food.

While resting, Hansoo ate fruit and asked his grandfather.

“Grandpa, why don't you use this television? ”

“Oh, that? Well, you should be watching television. I can't see very well because my eyes are droopy. I think I just put them in there. ”

At that time, my mother, who was carving fruit, looked at my grandfather and asked.

“Then can we take this and use it? ”

“What are you going to use this junk for? ”

“I'm going to leave it in the room. There's a television in the living room, but it's not in the living room. I tried to buy a new one, but that's great. ”

“Sure, but I don't know if it's working. Check it out.”

My mother glanced at me. It meant that Hansoo should see for himself.

Hansoo placed the Brown Tube TV on the floor and connected the power cable. Luckily, the Brown tube TV turned on. Once the power was down, there was no problem. I just needed a set-top box to see if the broadcast was on. This should be checked after connecting the cable at the main street.

Hansoo and Hansoo's father once again entered the warehouse. What I didn't need was a piece of junk sticker I bought from the office and put it outside the house, and what I needed was stacked up in storage again.

When I finished cleaning up like that, the sun was setting to the west one day.

His grandfather pushed Hansako Mali's mother away and gave her allowance to Hansoo, and Hansoo was able to return to the main street with his parents.

In the trunk of the car was a brown tube TV with a handful.

After returning home, my mom looked at Hansoo and said.

“Check to see if it works on TV. When you get a new cable. ”

“Yes, I will. ”

Hansoo unplugged the previously installed television and connected the brown tube TV.

Fortunately, the Brown Tube TV was functioning perfectly.

It was channel 157, EBS PLUS1.

At that moment, a handful of eyes watching the television began to emit light like a jewel.

But no one witnessed the anomaly.
