I left the house, erasing the memories of yesterday that came to mind for a while. In a way, towards a cafe that might be my first part-time job.

Of course, I often worked part-time at Yunseong’s house, but even though it was part-time, I had a strong feeling that I was helping my friend. It’s a lot of money and it’s a tough job, but Yoonseong is with me from start to finish, and even if I make a little mistake, it’s a help concept, so I just skipped it.

Although it was formal this time, it was a very different feeling as it was a formal interview and a written employment contract before starting work.

I’m sure I won’t fall for the formal interview like a dog. Is it because I don’t like it? I had a bit of the same concern. It starts to throb little by little.

It must have been about 25 minutes since I left my house, but the timing of the train was not right today, so I arrived at the station near the cafe a little later than I thought. When I go to work, I have to take this into account and move.

It was right after lunch, so I looked around the quiet train station and called.

“hello?”

-Are you here? where are you.

“I got off the train now. Go upstairs?”

—Come up. Exit 2…

Heesung hyung’s voice was a little quiet as if he was tired. Did you have trouble sleeping yesterday? Anyway, I hung up the phone and hurriedly started walking. It’s still a fairly leisurely move, but I think it’s better to go early than to be late or just on time.

After going up the stairs from the station on foot, I saw Heesung hyung right next to me. But he didn’t come alone. Beside him, Heena was looking at her brother with a very insensitive face.

I was afraid of that expression, something I had never seen before, so I paused my steps to approach him, but Heena found me first. At the same time, her expression brightens in an instant.

“Yeonhuyaa”

-Warak

Even though I was so close yesterday, I wonder if it wasn’t enough, so she hugs me and rubs her face on my chest. I hugged her slightly and looked at Heesung hyung.

“Heena came with you too? Why does hyung look so tired?”

“Ha… I introduced you to one of your part-timers, and I was really…”

“ah…”

“I won’t even call you from now on…”

It must have been that Heena suffered a lot because of yesterday’s work. Seeing you say that with a face full of dark circles. I expressed my condolences to my brother in my heart and asked Heena.

“But you want to go with me?”

“I’ll be waiting around there for a while. It doesn’t seem like it will take long, so let’s go on a date when we’re done!”

“Okay. Shall we go right away? There’s nothing wrong with going early.”

“Yeah…Follow me.”

As if having a bad hangover, the older brother sighed and patted his head back. I was a little worried about her appearance, but looking at Heena’s mood when I arrived, it was hard to say what she had said until then. I’m sorry for hyung, but Heena’s feelings come first.

And the timing I called yesterday was a little crazy. Because it was so exquisite that I felt like I was watching it.

After walking for about 5 minutes from the station following my brother, I arrived at my destination in no time. It wasn’t the typical franchise cafe I’ve seen around.

The name is [ cafe MELA ]

It wasn’t a franchise, so it wasn’t nearby, and if there was, it would be a bit expensive, so it was an atmosphere that I probably wouldn’t have been to. Overall, it’s modern and neat, and the small interior that looks like a sneak peek is pretty, so it’s a feeling that women will like. Most of the guests seen right away were women. or a couple.

Come to think of it, if it was nearby, I would have come with Heena. There was a cafe near Heena’s house that looked like a hometown I visited often, but I still tour the cafes here and there.

In front of the cafe we arrived at, I swallowed my saliva with a nervous heart.

“I’ll take a look around and come back. Call me when you’re done.”

Heena said to be strong, kissed my cheek and moved on. I didn’t want to go together, but it was a bit strange to follow my girlfriend during my interview. And then, Heesung, who seemed to be at ease, went into the cafe with hyung.

“Welcome~ Huh? It’s Heesung oppa!”

As soon as I walked in, I was met by a staff member. A female employee with long wavy brown hair tied in a ponytail and wearing a hat, smiling broadly and pretending to know her brother.

“Come on. Is your sister inside?”

“The manager’s sister? She’s in the office! But is she behind you? Our Cafe New Face?”

“Oh, hello. This is Han Yeon-hoo.”

He bowed his head slightly and said hello. However, this female employee did not simply greet me, but suddenly took a standing pose with a smile on her face, and put her hands on her stomach.

“hello.”

He greeted me at a 90 degree angle. I was so confused by the look that I didn’t even know.

“hello.”

The same 90-degree greeting was returned. What is this? As I was doing this, I heard Heesung hyung’s pathetic voice from the side.

“Every time a new part-timer comes, don’t do that. What the hell.”

“Why~ People get a rough sense of this once in a while? It feels good to see you react right away! I think you’ll do well!”

“Okay. Let’s go in.”

“Ah! I haven’t talked properly yet!”

“Do it later.”

Leaving those words behind, he hurriedly walks away. I followed him a little sullenly. I was a little embarrassed because some of the cafe customers were looking at this side of the conversation like Conte.

While following my brother, the other woman at the counter passed by without saying a word, shaking their heads slightly.

When I opened the door next to the counter and entered, there was a surprisingly large space. And in front of the computer placed on the wall, I saw a woman with short golden hair, a white shirt and an apron. The face looking back at this side is quite intelligent. Maybe the store manager?

“Hey, are you here early?”

“It’s about the end of peak time, so I just came. Hey, say hi. You’re the manager here.”

“Hello! My name is Han Yeon-hoo!”

“Yeah, nice to meet you. I’m Cha Lin.”

She turns the chair and greets her with a bright smile. He was a lot younger than I thought, so I was a little surprised inside. Since you are the manager, I was thinking of someone in their mid-late 30s or 40s at least.

“Then let’s go to the interview right away~ Please sit here. Heesung is out for a while.”

“Can I have a drink?”

“Yeah, three thousand won.”

“Wow, you bastard.”

“Jia is closing mid-term, help with that for free!”

“I’m not going to drink…”

At the end of the conversation, Heesung hyung closed the door and left, leaving only me and the manager in the office. I sat down on the chair pointed to by the store manager a while ago and pulled out my resume from my bag.

The store manager silently takes the paper and starts talking while looking at the contents.

“Now, let’s see. How much did you hear from Heesung? You said that Yeon-hoo is 20 years old this year and is working while recovering?”

“Yes. The part-time hours you were looking for were exactly what I wanted.”

“I’m glad that’s the case. Well, originally, I asked more serious questions, but Heesung was introduced as well, and in fact, this part-time part-time job is all about good luck.

He seemed to know what that meant. Just looking at Yunseong’s restaurant, he couldn’t have been such a good person during the interview, but when he got to work, he said that he often ran away after a few days.

“Besides, I think I know a bit about what it means to be a human being because of the reason I decided to return to Mr. Yeon-hoo.”

“haha…”

It’s not embarrassing, but I felt a little embarrassed by the manager’s tone, which seemed to compliment me strangely.

“So trust me and I’ll hire you right away. Did you hear our working hours?”

“Thank you! It’s from 5 to 10 on Wed-Thu, I heard that it may change.”

“That’s right. First of all, it’s that time, but depending on the shift, I may have to go to work at lunchtime once in a while. Is it okay?”

“What time is it exactly for lunch?”

“It’s called the peak time, so it’s the busiest time, but when Mr. Yeonhoo comes out, the time is from 11am to 4:30pm. Of course, I’ll call you after I get used to the job a bit.”

“Are you working five and a half hours?”

“Ah, Heesung didn’t tell me that. The deadline is from 5:30 to 10:30. Of that, 30 minutes is meal time.”

“Aha, yes, it’s fine!”

“It’s good that you have a strong answer. As you said, you have a good impression. Is it popular?”

Fortunately, the interview was not as rigid as I had been secretly worried, so I felt very comfortable. As Heesung hyung said, it was almost a formal interview, and the store manager also led the story in a chatty style. Doing lip service like this.

“I went to Nam High, so it’s not popular…”

“Ah, I don’t think so~ Well, the exact number of working days and hourly wages is as written in the employment contract here… Do you have any other questions?”

I glanced at the employment contract that the store manager had offered me. Most of them feel like they’ve already heard from Heesung hyung, so they’re reconfirming it once.

“My health certificate has expired now, can I just give it to you by the day I go to work?”

“Yeah, you can give it to me then. It seems like you’ve done it before, so I know, but it takes a week to get tested and get a health certificate, so keep that in mind.”

“Other than that, right now… I’ll do my best.”

“Okay~ Then I’ll explain it again while writing this. From here-“

I checked the contents of the labor contract with the store manager, listened to basic explanations, wrote my name, address, etc., and finished signing it. I got up from my seat after using two guns, the manager took one and I took the other. We exchanged phone numbers with each other.

“I’ll call you back at the end of February. Don’t forget it~”

“All right.”

“Then shall we go get a drink or something to celebrate?”

And the manager headed out of the office with a light footstep. It ended really quickly with nothing. I think it took less than 20 minutes. At first, it felt as if they were called just to see a face or just once. I also drafted an employment contract.

As soon as I left the office, I saw Heesung hyung chatting with other employees at the counter.

“What, are you done already?”

“Yeah. Yeonhoo-san, do you want something to drink?”

“Iced Americano, please.”

Actually, I like sweet and fruity drinks, but I get it for free, so I don’t ask for such a thing. You should take it and drink it with Heena.

“Jia-ya, just one drink~ Oh, did you say hello? You came out as a helper today, but I’ll see you every day when you go to work at Yeon-hoo’s closing time in March. Deadline ace!”

They greeted each other with a nod of their heads before, but they bowed their heads again and said.

“Hello. My name is Han Yeon-hoo.”

“I’m Yujia. Please take care of me.”

“Nana! I’m Chae-ah Lee! Hello! Please take care of me! Yoroshiku! I’m 23 years old! Same age as Jia!”

“Oh, you don’t have to remember this guy. Maybe we’ll see each other once a month.”

“It’s too much~”

When I came in earlier, Chae-ah Lee greeted me 90 degrees. And the person who will be working with me in the future is Yoo Ji-ah. She was a very calm-looking older sister. She’s not the type who looks very friendly like Chae-ah, but it seemed kind to her that she had a soft smile on her face while talking.

Thanks for giving me a little relief. I don’t think the person you’ll be working with isn’t the type of person who is difficult to deal with.

Anyway, I said hello to everyone who was there, and since I had a long way to go to work anyway, I just got coffee and prepared to leave. But right before the move, Heesung hyung asked for another drink.

“Oh, noona. Can I get one more drink?”

“Would you like two drinks?”

“No. My brother is nearby. To give it to him.”

“What, that little sister who used to come here occasionally? Oh! Come to think of it, you said you were dating Yeon-hoo?”

As if Heesung had already heard from hyung or had forgotten, the manager brought up the story. And when she heard that, Chae-ah reacted violently.

“Huh?! You’re dating your brother and sister?! That’s awesome… She’s really pretty!”

Heena isn’t pretty. I responded with a smile to that admiration, and grabbed my brother who was about to approach Jia.

“Hyung, I can share this with Heena.”

“Huh? Then it is.”

“Where would you throw such an exciting topic and then just walk away! I’m curious!”

“Listen to him when he gets to work later. Then we’ll go.”

“I don’t overlap my working hours!”

“Yeonhoo, see you in March!”

“Yes, I’ll see you then.”

“Goodbye.”

“Unnie! We’ll have a dinner party in March! I must listen to the tide!”

Leaving behind Chae-ah, who seemed to be in charge of the hustle and bustle of at least two people alone, reminiscent of Yoon-jeong’s older sister, she bowed her head once to the store manager and Ms. Jia and left the cafe.

With a sigh of relief at the successful interview, I looked around to see if Heena had returned. It didn’t take long, but I’ve been there for over 30 minutes, so I guess I’ll have to come back.

Again, at the end of the cafe building, I saw Heena waiting for us with a smile on her face.

The tension I had had all day until the end of the interview was completely relieved, so I was more than happy to go closer to her.

By the way.

“Welcome. Did you do well in the interview? There are still people I’ve seen before. Are you all pretty?

“……”

He was clearly smiling, but at Heena’s thorny words, her heart began to pound in a different way than before.

The real thing is from now on.
