Chapter 5

Se-yeon Lee, an employee of the architecture office.

Today she felt very bad for her. She drank late last night with her friends, which left her late. She said how late the manager was already, and she shouted that if this was going to happen, she would quit the company.

She’s only been one hour late, and that’s a mess. So I’m going to exaggerate for many years to grow older.

While everyone went to lunch, she walked towards the department store.

There’s nothing like shopping for her mood swings. If you wear something, you will feel a little better.

Upon entering the department store, French luxury stores such as Chanel, Prada, and Louis Vuitton were lined up in the front store on the first floor.

I feel like I want to go in there, pick up a bag and pay for it…

Card limit not allowed. The money that has already been drawn through cash advances and revolving has already reached 8 million won.

The remaining limit was less than 1 million won. I had to shop cheaply there.

Se-yeon Lee headed to the MPM store, which is a mid-range luxury brand as usual. It is her fifth visit to her this month alone. Thanks to her, she was already a regular in the store.

She was treated by the manager and her staff, and when she thought about shopping, she already seemed to feel better.

As she approached the entrance to the MPM store, the floor was a mess of someone spilling coffee. The janitor was mopping hard and cleaning it.

I was about to pass by without paying attention, but the mop lightly touched my shoe.

She bought these shoes a few days ago with a lot of heart because she was on sale. But the shoes were soiled by the mop that was mopping the floor.

Lee Se-yeon was shocked and shouted.

“Madame! What are you doing now?”

The cleaning lady bowed her head.

“Ah! I’m sorry, guest.”

“I’m sorry, is that all? What kind of shoes are these!”



“I, I will clean it.”

The janitor took her handkerchief from her pocket and bowed her back, as if to wipe her shoes himself.

“Where are you getting dirty? Aren’t you going to put your hands away right now?”

“Sorry, I’m sorry.”

As the commotion grew, a young woman in a suit ran out. On her clothes was a name tag saying ‘Manager Umi-ran’.

“What are you doing, sir?”

Se-yeon Lee said while crying.

“Can’t you see? This lady got my shoes dirty with a mop. How are you going to do this?”

The janitor put his hands together and bowed his head.

“I’m sorry, guest. Sorry.”

“Is this the attitude of an apologetic person now? Even if I get down on my knees and pray, it won’t be enough.”

The manager looked at the cleaner and said.

“What are you doing, aunt? If you make a mistake, get down on your knees and apologize.”

“Yes, yes?”

A middle-aged janitor looked around her with a frightened expression. But there was no one on her side here.

“Do you know how much these shoes cost? Will she ask?”

It is a situation where you earn and eat every day.

She couldn’t afford to pay for such expensive shoes. If I could move on quietly by getting down on her knees and begging, I should have done so.

The janitor tried to get to her knees.

But at that moment.

widely!

Someone grabbed her shoulder.

* * *

The janitor looked at me with a surprised expression.

“How do you get here…?”

As I slept forward, a young woman looked at me and she asked nervously.

“What are you interfering with!?”

“It’s my son.”

“What, what?”

I said looking at the woman.

“This is his son.”

“·················ogue.”

At my words, she bit her mouth. He probably didn’t know that the cleaner’s son would appear in such a situation.

The moment I entered the department store, I saw a woman in her early 20s screaming at the end of a luxury store, and an old lady dressed as a janitor bowing her head.

At first she tried to just pass by. But when she heard the cleaner’s voice, her feet stopped on their own. Because it was her mother’s voice.

I saw her mother in a janitor outfit. She avoided my mother’s gaze slightly.

She had come to this department store with her parents before. It was probably her mother’s birthday. She ate at the basement restaurant and went shopping together.

Her father liked her and bought a bag for her mother. There I also added pocket money. It was not a luxury product that one would know just by hearing the name, but a low-end brand product, but the mother who received the gift was as happy as a child.

She said that she works in a customer service center.

He didn’t say that he was working as a janitor for fear of worrying about his son, but seemed to be working at a counseling center.

“What happen?”

“This lady got my shoes dirty with a mop.”

“·················ogue.”

Did you just get on her knees and make a fuss about it?

Anger rose to the top of his head. I feel like I want to beat a woman or something. But you can’t punch in front of your mother.

I clenched my teeth and suppressed my anger.

“Where is it dirty?”

“Can’t you see here?”

“Where?”



The black shoes looked fine without a single speck.

The woman shook her head and said.

“Oh, I don’t know! Anyway, these shoes are dirty now so I can’t wear them, so I’m asking. Otherwise, I will post on the bulletin board of the department store and file a complaint with the Consumer Agency.”

The manager next to her bowed her head.

“I’m sorry, guest. We will take care of it.”

He said that he hates his sister-in-law more than his mother-in-law who beats him, and that’s the perfect match. A person who kneels and screams at him, or a person who encourages him from the side.

Perhaps the manager’s appearance gave her strength, the woman shouted again.

“Do you know how much this is?”

I asked right away.

“How old are you?”

She spoke boldly to my question.

“It’s worth 600,000 won!”

Then the staff behind him mumbled in a low voice.

“It’s on sale right now, so it’s 330,000 won.”

45% off sale?

She thought that shoes worth tens of millions of won were enough to make a fuss.

I took out my wallet.

“Is it 60,000 won?”

When the mother saw it, she was shocked.

“Jinhoo, what kind of money do you have…”

“It’s okay, mother.”

I pulled out twelve 50,000 won bills and gave them to the woman.

“Here you go.”

“huh! It will be like this.”

The woman stretched out her hand.

I pulled her hand back just before she grabbed her money.

“Apologize first.”

The woman raised her eyes in surprise.

“What did you say?”

“If you want money, you have to apologize first.”

The woman looked at my face with the 600,000 won in my hand with an angry face. But it seems that money was more important than her pride.

The woman bowed her head with her dryness towards her mother.

“Mi, I’m sorry. It was a bit harsh.”

It was an apology that didn’t even contain the gulp of the eye. Still, it’s better than not getting it.

The woman grabbed the money in my hand. But when she pulled, she didn’t lose the money. It’s because I didn’t force my fingers.

The woman said nervously.

“What are we going to do now?”

“Take off your shoes.”

“Yes?”

I said again.

“Take off your shoes. You say you can’t wear it because it’s dirty, ask for money? Then, if you give me the money, I have to give you my shoes. Did you ever plan on wearing your shoes as they are and taking the money with you? It’s not a creative economy.”

“Sigh!”

The woman looked shocked, but she didn’t say anything. No matter how much she thinks, she can’t find anything to refute.

“If you’re just going to report it, I know you won’t get this money.”

I tried to withdraw the money, but this time the woman did not let go of her hand. Again, she seemed to be at odds with money and pride.

Of course, getting this money and buying a new one is the remaining business. It’s not in a department store, so you can buy it from the store you want and wear it.

In the end, money won.

“I am! It’s a star, really!”

She threw her shoes off. Then I took the power from her fingers, and the woman took the money.

I picked up my shoes. And shoved it into the trash can.

“You have to throw this garbage in the trash can.”

“·················ogue.”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

The woman did not say anything to me and shouted at the manager.

“I’m going to report this department store, so I know!”

The manager bowed his head.

“Sin, I’m sorry, sir.”

Report it or not, I don’t know. The department store will take care of it.

I told my mother.

“Come on, Mother.”

As she was about to go out with her mother, a woman named the manager shouted from behind.

“Where are you going? Do you think you can still go to work tomorrow?”

“·················ogue.”

this crazy

I tried to go quietly, but I can’t.

I stopped walking. Then she turned her body, picked up her bong mop on the floor of her, and strode her towards her.

Then the manager flinched and stepped back.

“Whenever, what you want to hit is…”

I forcibly held the rag in her hand.

“I will never have to go to work again, so please do the cleaning yourself.”

“What, what? Hey!”

No matter what they say behind the scenes, I grabbed my mother’s hand and pulled me out of the department store.

My mother was taken by my hand blankly and came out in shock.

“Look at my mind. Even now, I went back and made a mistake…”

I told her restless mother.

“You don’t have to do this anymore.”

“However······.”

I hugged her mother. Her mother’s body was so light that it could break with any force. The bones in her shoulder and back were palpable.

Since when did she get so skinny?

She cleaned the department store all day with a body like this.

I forcefully swallowed the cry that came up from her throat.

“It’s okay, mother. In the future, I will take care of everything.”

After a moment’s hesitation, my mother patted my back with her slender arms.

“When did my son grow up like this?”
