Returner's Magic Laundry

Chapter 19

“Sangil-ah, are you doing well in filming?”

-Yeah, you’re doing well. But won’t you come? It’s the last filming today, so come on over.

“… … .”

In fact, I wanted to go to the filming set, but there was a problem.

―The number of cases is once long. And when you come, bring some water and coffee to your house.

‘Oh, the last time I called you, you said you would bring me water and coffee. I can’t help it. I have to keep my promise.’

“Okay. I’ll go in the afternoon. I have a lot of laundry to deliver in the morning.”

-OK got it. must come

“Okay.”

When I hung up the phone, I let out a sigh.

There was someone I didn’t want to meet, but I desperately wanted to meet again.

I had to hurry to get there before my friends’ filming was over.

The laundry didn’t fit in the laundry bag, so I tied it with string and tied it on my back.

Thanks to the efficacy of ‘simulation through imagination’, it was as light as a feather but bulky.

I had no choice but to go uphill in the neighborhood with my head buried in the laundry.

“Anna, isn’t it heavy? Can I hear you?”

People passing by saw me and tried to help.

“no. Fine.”

“It looks heavy.”

“Thank you.”

The laundry wasn’t heavy, but this uphill was more of a problem.

Whoops.

Again, I was out of breath.

On the way, I looked around the playground, but Yongcheon was nowhere to be seen.

‘Child, you must have gone to school today.’

I barely climbed to the top of the mountain village and sat on the pavilion to wipe off my sweat.

Sweat dried quickly thanks to the cool breeze and the T-shirt I had washed in the forest.

‘By the way, the grandmothers aren’t here today.’

After resting for a while, I went back to the grandmothers’ house with the laundry.

In the shade in front of the house, I saw two people sitting and chatting.

“Oh, I brought the bachelor’s laundry.”

“Yes, I have washed it clean. You are here today.”

“It’s cool here at this time.”

“Yes~”

“Is there anything to be thankful for?”

“I will put a blanket in the room.”

“Thanks.”

When I entered the room, there were traces of mold growing under the ceiling as if it had been raining.

‘Ugh, it smells like mold.’

A cool breeze began to circulate in the room as I unfolded the blanket and laid it on the seat.

I could see the wind sucking in the unpleasant moisture, and the signs of mold disappearing.

The room was filled with a soft feeling.

When I got out and looked around the house, I saw that the house was old and on the verge of collapse.

‘There are only a couple of places that need repairs.’

“Don’t the two grandmothers have children?”

“Us? it’s all there But now it’s not coming. It’s been a long time since I haven’t seen Grandma Kim here either.”

“Where are you abroad?”

“What about foreign countries? I’m in Korea and I don’t know where it is. I lost contact.”

“why not… … .”

“Why? I used to resent my parents because they didn’t tell me I was a parent, but now I don’t even look at them.”

Oh, there was such a story.

“We don’t even want anything. Here, Grandma Kim and I had a good time playing together, and if we turn our backs on the world, that’s all.

Grandma Kim’s eyes suddenly turned red at the words of the grandmother in her hand.

“that’s right. All I need is a grandmother with a hand.”

Suddenly, her two grandmothers hugged each other and immediately became a sea of ​​crying.

She was embarrassed.

“Grandma, calm down. Why are you crying?”

At my words, the two suddenly parted.

“Huh? did we cry No, what’s in your eye?”

“When I get older, I cry even when I’m still.”

“Because I put a blanket on you, you will be able to sleep comfortably and happily tonight.”

“Thanks. I can sleep on a clean blanket after a long time.”

The two grandmothers smiled again.

“I’ll stop by every time I deliver laundry.”

“Thank you, Commander-in-Chief. We are all old and no one cares about us.”

“The clothes here have also been washed clean, so please change quickly.”

“Is that so?”

“Yeah, I’ll see you then.”

She said goodbye to her grandmothers and came down.

The next time she comes, she thinks she’ll have to bring a toolbox.

* * *

I put up a sign saying [Closed] in front of the laundry door.

The laundry bag was heavy with water, coffee and refreshments to bring to her friends.

As I was about to leave, a passerby spoke to me.

“Oh, are you off today? I never saw him take a break.”

“Ah yes. I’m taking a break today due to personal circumstances.”

It was nice to be able to meet guests by chance and share these kind of conversations.

“i See. Take it easy. Don’t overdo it. I also worked without weekends, and now I am in the hospital.”

“Oh, where are you hurting?”

“It’s not serious. After a bit of overdoing it, I got shingles.”

shingles?

‘My mother also suffered from shingles in the past.’

At the dermatologist, she didn’t know she had shingles, and she only went to the dermatologist and missed treatment.

She had to suffer her pain as she pricked her nerves until she returned from the aftermath.

As she toured famous hospitals across the country, she treated her nerves, but she could not fix it.

If you treat it in time, you’ll be fine, but if you don’t, it’s shingles that will make you miserable for the rest of your life.

“Would you mind waiting here for a second?”

“Uh, why?”

“I want to give her a glass of water because she looks thirsty.”

“Uh, okay… … .”

She opened the door to the laundromat, walked in, and got a glass of water from the refrigerator.

Naturally, it is the ‘miracle water’ that came from the creek of the magic forest.

Since she drank this water, she has never had a skin disease.

“Have a drink.”

The customer was bewildered and had no choice but to accept and drink.

Again, she rolled her eyes and looked into the glass of water.

“What is this? Doesn’t the water taste so cool? Should it be refreshing? It feels like something indescribable.”

She took an empty glass from the guest.

“I think it’s because I put it in the refrigerator.”

“Yeah… … .”

The customer tilted his head and hurried downstairs.

‘You won’t suffer from shingles today.’

She smiled and closed the door again and went out on the road.

Thinking about it, I thought it would be okay to take a break once a week.

‘If I could take a break, when would it be good? Sunday? No, on Sundays, customers from work come to drop off their clothes. Monday? No, I can’t because Monday is the start of the first week. So Tuesday? Tuesday was surprisingly crowded. Wednesday?’

Deciding on a holiday was not easy.

With that thought in mind, I headed to the filming location of my friends.

His heart pounded at the thought of seeing a movie set after a long time.

The staff who move in harmony with my words,

Actors who hold their heart until the OK sign falls,

A boom microphone that moves around to capture even the smallest voice without missing a beat,

The camera director who is constantly contemplating for the best scene,

I missed everything.

* * *

The filming location was a beautiful reed field in Gyeonggi-do.

Gunsu Ko recommended this place because he was thinking about where to shoot the climax.

It was the best place I chose to shoot this movie.

Just like I did, Go Kun-soo was preparing to shoot by choosing a time when the beautiful sunset was setting.

Even then, he put in a lot of effort to capture the best sunset light.

It was clear that Go Geon-su was more desperately wanting the best scene than me.

“Hey, I’m here.”

As I approached screaming, my friends turned around.

“Hey, Annam, why did you come so late?”

Kim Sang-il approached me and, as usual, put on a headlock.

“Oh, it hurts! When my son sees me, he puts on a headlock!”

“Because it’s good. Antal.”

“After all, I am the owner of the laundry. He can’t leave his seat as he pleases.”

“I’m here?”

Go Gun-soo and Kwak Ki-hyuk also came and greeted me.

He greeted the rest of the staff and put down his bag of water and coffee.

“Give me some water. I thought I was going to die because I wanted to drink water from your house.”

“I’m here. hey drink it.”

I handed water to my friends and staff.

The staff, who drank a sip of water, seemed to be recovering little by little.

“The taste of coffee and water are killing me. I thought about it, and this is definitely germanium water.”

Kim Sang-il made a nonsensical sound.

“germanium?”

“Yeah, I’ve seen it somewhere before and it says it’s good for skin disease, good for cholesterol, and so on.”

“Don’t be silly and eat quickly. Where do you hear that kind of thing?”

“Just pour it out. Sang-il’s mother is very interested in strange things like this.”

“Among? You’re a fairy! Ki-hyuk comes to you, this child, my mother.”

“Come on, come on.”

From time to time, the two of them quarrel.

On the other hand, Go Gun-soo was the one who always smiled quietly when he saw it.

“Did you take a lot of pictures?”

“uh? Huh. Today is the last shoot. Only the climax left.”

Go Gun-soo answered, but Kim Sang-il intervened again.

“Because of this kid Go Gun-soo, the production cost seems to be over. Ouch, a tricky child.”

“What else do you mean?”

“From our point of view, it looks fine, but they keep giving me an OK sign. Ugh, I’m bored.”

Kim Sang-il hit his chest.

“I’m trying to take a good picture. Whose dog’s name is 5 million won? As much money as our blood went into it, we should shoot it without an inch of error.”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Kwak Ki-hyuk still sided with Ko Gun-soo.

When I was filming, I didn’t exceed the production cost, but Ko Gun-soo seemed to be more than I did when I was filming this one… . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

“Hey, I’m most worried about today’s filming.”

At Kim Sang-il’s words, Go Gun-su pretended not to know and turned his head to the other side.

“How much NG are you going to pay for the last time? If I were Jung-ah, I would have beaten him already. It’s not like you’re making a big movie, but what’s so difficult about making a short film that you don’t know if it will be selected at a film festival or not?”

“Sangil, did I tell you? This is going to the Cannes Film Festival.”

I emphasized it once more.

“Cannes Film Festival? hey well When I go to this film at the Cannes Film Festival, I put a sheet on my ten fingers.”

Kim Sang-il snorted at my words.

“You just get ready. I will prepare the intestines.”

“Yes, yes.”

Kim Sang-il, who did not know the cool, kept snorting him.

“But can’t you see the actors?”

“The main male actor has come, but the female actor hasn’t come yet. He will come soon.”

When I looked where Kwak Ki-hyuk was pointing, I saw the male actor memorizing the script and grasping his emotions.

The male lead was an actor named Hanyu.

The actor I cast was also that actor Han Yu, so everything was going smoothly.

Except that the director is Ko Kun-soo instead of me.

An actor named ‘Hanyu’ will be reborn as a famous actor in the future with this short film as an opportunity.

He valued the relationship with me and readily accepted my final film.

Even with the ridiculously low casting cost.

He always had something to say when he was interviewed.

“ Without Director Ahn Nam, I would not be where I am today.”

He was good at acting, but he had a good personality and was also good with the staff, so he was an actor with a good reputation.

It was a new feeling to meet ‘Hanyu’ in his youthful days.

I approached Hanyu with a cup of coffee and water.

I was immersed in emotions.

Nevertheless, as soon as I approached him, he quickly gave me the script and welcomed me warmly.

“Oh, thank you. You are a friend of Director Ko. I should have said hello earlier, but I was just trying to capture my feelings.”

“Fine. I don’t know if I’m in the way.”

“Is it possible? I was still thirsty and wanted to drink coffee. I’m a little nervous.”

“Drink some of this water and you will be fine. And I am a fan of Hanyu.”

“Yeah? Me? There’s no way I’m going to have fans because I haven’t appeared in a lot of works.”

“I’ve seen ‘I Will Live as a Loser’, ‘The Devil’s Poem’, and ‘The Lie of Possession’.”

“No, how… … It’s not a famous work, so it must be hard to find.”

It was natural to look for all the actors’ previous works before casting.

Hanyu looked at me for a while with a puzzled expression.

Then a roar was heard in the distance.

When I turned around, a beautiful woman was walking with someone beside her.

She was Ara Jung.
