Returner's Magic Laundry

Chapter 14

“Chief Ahn, what did you say now?”

Director Kim seemed to be aware of the situation.

“Oh my, what am I saying? It’s not Manager Kim. It’s a scam… … .”

“You just said it with your mouth. Even a night escape!”

Director Kim suddenly grabbed Ahn’s arm.

“Ah! why is this Let go of this, Chief Kim!”

“Let’s go to the police station now. Dozens of people in this town have invested in it, and they’re saying they’re making a splash with that money?”

Director Kim led Ahn out of the office.

Hwang, the owner of the clean laundry, immediately jumped out of the commotion.

“Why?”

“You are welcome, Mr. Hwang. You have money invested back then. Buy it!”

“What? Is the boss real?”

“No, just put this and listen to me!”

From what I heard, President Hwang seemed to have made some investment.

‘Is it one stroke double skin?’

“Go to the police station right now. You can go to the police station and talk.”

The townspeople flocked to the commotion.

Among the dogs, people flocked to see if they had invested money.

I looked at it and turned away.

‘I think things will go well, so my role ends here.’

On the way back, I circled the neighborhood to collect laundry.

When I returned to the laundromat, there were three or three people standing there.

Hands holding laundry.

“Where did you go after closing the door, Mr. Pyo?”

“I’ve been waiting for a long time.”

“Oh, sorry.”

It was a little thrilling.

The day will come when people will line up in front of our laundromat.

And Seyeon was also standing there.

“uh? Se-yeon?”

I was surprised by Seyeon’s sudden visit.

They left their clothes and waited for them to return.

“Annam, the laundry is much better. Is it because of the flowerpot outside? Is it because I have a lot of clothes?”

Se-yeon, the man of the two, got up from her seat and looked around the laundromat.

“Ah yes. I put the pot outside, and it grows quickly because it is early summer.”

“No, what kind of pots do men grow so well? If I touched the flowerpot, I would die.”

“You have to have a good heart… … .”

“What?”

Seyeon ran up to me and slapped me on the shoulder.

very slightly.

Can I say that this is enough to be friendly?

“Oh, but what are you doing here?”

“I’m going to drop off my clothes. Oh, he said he didn’t like my boss.”

“Uh, how do you do that?”

“The cleaning lady told me about it. Our boss is a bit like that. She pretends to be friendly in front of her, but she talks too much behind the scenes.”

“Yeah, it seemed.”

“If you don’t have a cleaning lady, you curse the cleaning lady, and if you don’t have a gym manager, you curse the manager, and it’s just a habit.”

“What if it just becomes a habit? I have to give you my soul.”

If I could wash the boss’s clothes, I thought it would be a little better.

Maybe some of the medicinal herbs given to me in the forest could heal the boss’s mouth.

But he couldn’t take my clothes off.

“You’re the boss, how are you? unless you’re thinking of quitting. Oh, please wash these clothes too.”

Looking at the clothes Seyeon brought out, it didn’t look like the clothes I usually wear.

“This… … .”

“Just in case, I went to the audition and failed again. You know? I am going to the audition.”

I felt a bit sorry for the fact that I knew it.

“It’s okay. Thanks to our boss, it must have been known all over the country.”

“The Seyeon scene is really nice.”

“It is difficult to say that. I’m a little bit cheap.”

“There is that aspect.”

“Eh? But it doesn’t feel good to say that again.”

“Sorry.”

“Oh, what else are you sorry about? This conversation will never end. Let’s stop.”

I wanted to do something fun, but I had nothing to say.

A guy like me is like this

To start a conversation, I took out a thermos from my bag.

“Drink some of this. You will feel better.”

“If you look at it then. Annam seems like a person who is eager to make people feel good.”

“… … Do you hate that?”

“No, good. But when he is in a bad mood, there are times when he just wants to be the way he is.”

“If you’re not feeling well, shouldn’t you do something to make it feel good?”

“I was like that. There are times when I just want to stay depressed.”

Seyeon looked a little different today.

‘Is it because the energy of the forest has gone down?’

Se-yeon opened the lid of the thermos and he smelled the coffee.

“Wow, the coffee smells really good. Did you get off yourself?”

“Yeah.”

He closed his eyes and savored the aroma of coffee, then he tilted the thermos and began to drink.

As expected, Seyeon’s eyes widened again.

“Wow, what is this coffee?”

“I bought green beans from a place I know and roasted them.”

“Wow, this is the first time I have tasted such a deep taste. Like Blue Mountain, it smells like chocolate and has an elegant sour taste, and like Java coffee from Indonesia, it smells of grass and spices, but also has a bitter taste.”

“uh? Do you know a lot about the taste of coffee? Even though coffee is delicious, I can’t explain it properly.”

“Haha no. I read it on the internet. Anyway, it tastes really deep. It would be great if I sold this.”

Seyeon seemed to be feeling better again.

“Can I drink all of this? I’ll bring you a thermos when I come to pick up your clothes.”

“of course.”

“But I think we can really sell this.”

“I didn’t even think about it. I’m just trying to treat each customer who comes to the laundromat one cup at a time.”

“That’s fine too. I think customers will flock to it even for coffee. Is this a coffee shop, a flower shop, or a laundry?”

The two of us laughed at Seyeon’s joke.

It was a sudden thought, but it seemed okay.

“Oh, by the way, when is the next audition again?”

“Why?”

“Leave me the clothes you will wear to the next audition. The real judges will do the laundry for you.”

Seeing Seyeon reminded me of the dragon fruit that I received as a gift from the forest.

I thought that maybe this is what Seyeon needs right now.

“Aww, where is that?”

“anyway.”

“I still put one more piece of clothes in my bag. This time, I’m going to try a short film audition. I think I had a dream too big from the start, so I only auditioned for major agencies and film companies. I try to do it step by step while doing well even in small roles.”

“I think that’s a good thing, too. There are many famous actors who started out with small roles in short films or independent films and succeeded.”

“Uh, Annam-san, I thought you were only good at laundry, do you know movies well?”

As a film director in a previous life, it was natural to know him well.

The actors I hired were mostly people who started with small roles and built up their acting skills.

But now there was no reason to elaborate such a story.

“No, I have a lot of interest.”

“Oh my, it’s late. It’s time for a counter shift. Oh well, don’t worry about our boss. I don’t usually go to the pool. He is a busy man, not one or two in business. Aren’t you thinking of moving the pool?”

“Is it possible?”

“That’s fortunate. Then I will go.”

Se-yeon returned with a brighter face, waving his hand.

He washed his empty cup of coffee and went home to grind more beans and brought it down with a hand drip set.

‘As Seyeon said, it would be fine to give each customer a cup.’

A notice was made and pasted on the front door of the laundromat.

[Go get a cup of coffee. A free cup of coffee.]

A laundry collection box was also made and placed in front of the door in case customers would come in case the laundry was empty.

I put a pen to write my name on and a notepad next to it.

At that time, I was surprised to hear that someone was calling me enough to leave the town, and I turned around.

“Mister!”

Jina Kim was coming with her friends, and she found me and ran over.

“Come slowly, I will fall.”

His expression looked brighter than usual.

“Uncle, there is something really strange today.”

“what?”

“At first, I didn’t have many friends. In fact, you could call it bullying.”

“Did you?”

I pretended not to know.

“But today, my friends don’t leave me around, don’t they? I was surrounded by friends as if I had just become popular.”

“okay? Good.”

It seemed that the juice of red salt vinegar worked well.

“But strangely, there is something that seems to be thanks to you.”

“I hope~”

“I feel good just wearing this outfit and I feel like I’m going to fly away. Maybe my friends felt that way too.”

Kim Jin-ah liked it, so I liked it too.

Although she now borrows the aura of red salt candles from her, she had a wish to get along with her friends with that confidence.

Jin-ah Kim stayed at her laundry for a while and chimed in.

“Mister, can I sing you a song?”

“suddenly?”

“Yes, I practiced little by little at home, but I have nowhere to show it.”

She didn’t say anything, but she stood in the middle of the laundromat and she started singing along with the dance moves.

“You seem to believe in him who tells you to give up. I know him and I’ll let you go easily. You really don’t know that~”

‘What is this?’

It was a song called ‘Choice’ from singer Baek Ji-young’s 1st album.

It was included in the album Sorrow, released in June 1999.

By now, it was in the rankings and many people were listening.

‘It’s been a long time since I heard you. It was a song she sang often.’

Jina Kim said she was singing and dancing for a while before returning.

It’s good that she’s brightened up, but she’s a little tired.

‘Is it a side effect of red salt vinegar?’

* * *

In the evening, the footsteps of the guests slowed down.

Meanwhile, real estate manager Kim came and handed him pork belly.

“If it wasn’t for Annam, it would have been a disaster. Thanks.”

“No, I have to do something.”

It was true that President Ahn had cheated, and it was also true that he was trying to escape at night with the money.

Neighbors said that not all of the principal, but some were returned.

For the rest, President Ahn worked hard and decided to pay it back.

Director Kim explained in detail how much Ahn had prayed for forgiveness and asked for forgiveness.

“By the way, how did you know that Ahn was going to close the real estate? Annam, who lives in this neighborhood, doesn’t know the situation.”

“I just happened to find out. I hope things turn out well.”

“Okay. Oh, and I decided to take over the real estate. Anyway, I was trying to set up my own.”

“That’s fine. Then the boss… … .”

“I took out all the real estate deposits and returned people’s investment money. Ahn decided to work for me for the time being.”

oh oh

It was a good way.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“Ah, but you didn’t kick Ahn off the boss.”

“What is the spirit of that guy? It was sad to see him cry and cry.”

“Good job.”

In fact, in his previous life, Manager Kim is deceived by President Ahn and leaves this neighborhood.

He seemed to have heard rumors that he was divorced.

But, fortunately, this life of Director Kim has a happy ending.

“Tomorrow, I’ll bring all the laundry from our house, so be careful.”

“You can’t even do that… … .”

“That’s all I can do.”

“Thank you.”

Director Kim also returned, and now it was time to close the door.

She turned off the sign, locked the door, and brought the cash machine.

I was quite busy today, so sales were expected.

‘Let’s calculate how today’s sales are.’
