Chapter 2

bang bang!

I quickly wiped away my tears when I heard someone knock on the laundry door.

When I didn’t answer, the man looked into the window and started knocking again.

“Why don’t you open the door like this when you need to find clothes? Are you still on the prize? I think someone is.”

When I saw a note on the store door saying that it was mourning, I muttered.

She was a ‘Purne Mart’ lady who often left clothes at our laundromat.

He quickly ran and opened the door with a smile.

“Wow!”

The mart woman took a step back in surprise.

“It’s a surprise. was inside Anna, did the funeral go well?”

“Yes, thanks.”

Ahn Nam.

it was my name

I was always called director Pyo, but it was awkward when someone called my name.

“Yeah, now that I’m alone, make up your mind, okay? If you need anything, call aunty. do you know me There is a mart woman in the back alley.”

“Ah yes. I know.”

“By the way, I have some clothes that I have to wear this week. Since it’s spring, there are a lot of people who want to go somewhere. huh.”

“Your name is… … .”

“It will be marked as Mart. maybe. Your mother said so every day.”

“Isn’t your name Park Mal-Ja-Sun? My mother used to say that she was horse-soon and that she was horse-soon.”

“Ooh! This sister is real! She shouldn’t call that name. She will be labeled Mart anyway.”

I started looking at the clothes hanging from the ceiling.

However, no matter how much I searched, I couldn’t find any clothes with the name ‘Mart’ on it.

The mother would remember where her customers were when they came to retrieve her clothes, so she would find them and return them at once.

She felt frustrated with her aunt, so she went out on her own and started looking for her clothes.

“Here you go.”

She was surprised to find it so quickly.

“You cleaned it up. Aww, you went through such a hard time, but you go in vain.”

Aunt Mart once stole her tears with her sleeve.

“… … .”

“How much is it?”

“Oh, wait a minute.”

Also, I didn’t know the price.

I opened my mother’s daily notebook and found the word ‘Mart’.

She left it so long ago that she did not come out even after turning the notebook for a long time.

sweat.

“I’m here. I got 5,000 won for dry cleaning. Erase my name when you check later.”

“Yeah.”

“Oh, and what are you going to do with this laundromat? Are you going to pass it on to someone else?”

“No, I will.”

The old woman had a surprised expression on her face.

“Really?”

“Yeah.”

“My father sang to me to make you a civil servant.”

My parents didn’t even dream that I was going to a movie.

He wanted to become a civil servant, but I had never dreamed of that.

“I’m trying to run this laundromat well.”

“okay? But have you ever done laundry?”

Come to think of it, I’ve never washed one of my underwear with my own hands.

When my parents were there, my mother did everything, and when the two of them died and lived alone, I put them in the washing machine.

White laundry, black laundry, knitted or cotton tee, just put in.

Because I wasn’t interested in laundry.

Besides, I was ashamed of my parents running the laundry.

The smell of detergent in the laundry was also disgusting.

“You can work hard.”

The mart aunt looked back at me with suspicious eyes.

“Can’t we just do the laundry?”

Still, she knew something like a coat had to be dry.

First, the washed clothes hanging from the ceiling were a problem.

‘If you spend all your time looking for clothes like this, your customers will be annoyed.’

She opened her mother’s notebook and drew a picture on her blank page.

After dividing the ceiling into five sections and numbering them, the names of the clothes in one section were written in order.

If you do this, you can check the name in the notebook and go to the appropriate section to find clothes.

After a while, a customer looking for clothes came again, and by doing this method, they were able to find the clothes quickly.

‘It’s easy.’

Now, if someone came to look for clothes, it seemed that they would be able to find them without panicking.

‘Shall we start cleaning first?’

The laundry had been closed for a few days, but it looked like it had accumulated a little dust.

After putting on the mask, I dusted off, swept, wiped and cleaned.

When I was done cleaning my room, who usually didn’t even clean my room, it was obvious that she would have said that the sun would rise in the west if she saw it.

She looked outside and saw that she was littered with cigarette butts on the street.

They also swept them away and removed all the cigarette butts that had fallen into the sewer.

And she sprinkled water on it and dusted it off.

The awnings and signboards hanging at the entrance of the store looked too old.

[Parking Laundry]

A laundromat was built on the site that used to be a parking lot and roughly named the parking lot.

‘Father, what is a parking lot laundromat? I’m going to have to change my name right now.’

I went inside and wrote down letters that could be the name of the sign in my notebook.

‘Annam’ after my name.

Annam Laundry?

this is not a bit

It’s March, so it’s “March Laundry”.

this is a bit stinky

Sky Laundry.

young laundromat.

clean laundry.

I have listed several names, but none of them are my favourite.

A word that came to mind then.

[Movie Director’s Laundry]

Since I was a film director, the film director’s laundry seemed fine.

However, as I continued to read this, I didn’t quite get the sense of the word.

So, let’s say ‘Movie Laundry’ without ‘Director’.

[Movie Laundry]

It was just right.

It was a dream that could not be fulfilled in this life, but I wanted to put it on the signboard.

‘What you set your mind to, you have to put into practice.’

I went to the sign shop and ordered a sign under the new name.

There was some money in my parents’ account.

It wasn’t a lot of money, but it was enough to make a living for a while.

‘But before I run out of this money, I have to normalize the laundry… … .’

On the way home, I also bought some flowerpots and put them in front of the store.

The building was old and unattractive, but putting flowers on it made the atmosphere look much brighter.

No customers came to drop off their clothes yet.

‘First of all, you should wash the clothes that have not been washed. I don’t know when I’ll come to find you.’

Once I got the dirty clothes and put them on the table, I picked up the spotting machine.

When you press the handle, a strong current pops! Pot! shot with a sound.

When spotting on the dirt, most of the dirt was removed, but the marks were still there.

I put it in the washing machine, added detergent and turned it on.

Clothes to be dry cleaned are placed in the dry washing machine.

After washing, it was put in a dryer to dry.

‘I think my father did this.’

Whether I saw it over my shoulder, the result was plausible.

‘Now let’s try ironing.’

I turned on the iron, spread the clothes on the ironing board, and started ironing.

Ironing was the only experience I had of ironing my shirts and pants.

Even then, I rarely wear a suit, so I could count on my hand.

Still, I worked hard and worked hard.

I couldn’t be satisfied with the first drink, so even if I was clumsy, I had no choice but to try one by one.

Experience is the best study.

I hung the ironed clothes on a hanger and looked around.

‘I think it’s okay if we do this.’

After a while, customers came to pick up clothes, and I handed them over with anticipation.

However, the facial expressions of the customers who were looking at the clothes were not good.

“Uh, doesn’t it look like the dirt hasn’t been erased?”

Upon closer inspection, there were some traces of dirt.

“I think the ironing was not done carefully.”

Upon closer inspection, the sleeves were slightly wrinkled.

“It was dry, but it still smells like oil.”

“Your pants got two strings.”

“You don’t know how to do laundry, but you’re running some kind of laundry.”

In the end, many of the guests stopped visiting, and the clothes hanging from the ceiling were now all gone and there were hardly any left.

There were fewer and fewer customers coming to pick up new clothes.

* * *

And after 3 months.

‘Isn’t this my way too?’

Sitting in the empty laundry with no clothes hanging from the ceiling, he sighed deeply.

‘I studied hard, but when I actually do it, why doesn’t it look like a book?’

It was then that a schoolgirl caught her eye holding her school uniform and snooping around her laundry.

‘Would you like to drop off your clothes?’

When I was about to get up from my seat.

A middle-aged woman following behind slapped her girl on the shoulder.

“Not here. I’ll leave the laundromat down there. I’m not doing well here.”

“Ah Okay. Please fix that habit of hitting your mother every now and then.”

“Where is this for mom!”

The two quarreled and left.

A little disappointed, I sat down helplessly.

‘Still, I can’t give up like this.’

I opened the laundry-related books I had bought at the bookstore.

‘It’s something you can study and learn. No one is good at it from the start.’

From that day on, I studied hard.

I practiced removing dirt on my clothes, and studied washing methods according to the material of the fabric.



‘Ah, that’s how you do it.’

I learned a lot of new things about laundry.

I don’t know what the level of professionalism is, but for now, I have installed general theories in my head.

However.

Because of rumors, still no guest came.

People around the world were leaving their laundry to the clean laundry down there.

Then there was a noise and the door opened.

“Come on… … .”

As I raised my head in a bright voice, Hwang, the owner of the clean laundry, was standing there.

Outside the door, the owner of the real estate company was standing around and glancing at me.

‘Something has come.’

Their visit was already expected.

Sunny Laundry was a bit far from our laundry.

It was a new laundry in a new building.

Mr. Hwang was a friend of his father, and he started a laundry after learning how to do laundry from his father.

We lost a lot of our laundry customers by setting up a laundry close by, not too far away.



I remember how upset her mother was.

“Ah… … Good morning. But for some reason… … .”

“Are you okay? Rumor has it that there are no guests here these days. Thanks for making me look busy.”

Mr. Hwang said something he was proud of, no matter who he was.

“Ah yes. Good for you. But what happened?”

There was no way the laundry owner would come to the laundry to drop off clothes.

“Yeah, nothing else, just because you don’t want to sell this building. You say it’s hard to do laundry, too. You’re young, isn’t it better to do something else?”

“… … .”

“Real estate owner Ahn said that the price of buildings in this neighborhood has gone up a bit these days. You should sell it at this time. I will look at your parents and give you a good price.”

“I have no intention of selling.”

At my words, Mr. Hwang looked bewildered.

In my previous life, I didn’t even think about it and sold it right away.

“Oh, why, there is no hope in this town. Now is the time when it has risen the most. A young man should use that money to find his dream. How good it is that my parents left this building and left.”

What Hwang said was wrong.

By 2015, this neighborhood has turned into a hot place, and the price has risen significantly.

I regretted how much I hit the ground when I saw it.

I don’t know how many times this building alone has risen.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

But that didn’t mean I wouldn’t sell it.

“My dream is to be a laundry owner.”

In my last life, Mr. Hwang came to me and persuaded me to sell it, so I sold this building without thinking.

He has since become very rich.

He doesn’t know how much he pounded the ground and regretted that fact.

After Hwang hit the jackpot with real estate, the benefits passed to Hwang Go-Shin.

Go-Shin Hwang was the son of President Hwang and a stumbling block in my life.

“Is Koshin doing well?”

He wasn’t very curious, but he asked.

“What is Goshin… … How are you. You know, is he a little smart?”

Koshin always studied better than me.

In addition, the money I sold the building became seed money and I even started an investment company.

When he went to get a movie loan, he remembered what he said to me.

“Director Pyo, no Namah. I recognized you when you were talking about making a movie. you have no talent Did you believe that once you hit the jackpot, it was because of your talent? Heh, why are you selling the building like that? If you just ran a laundromat you inherited from your parents, you might be here instead of me. Thank you for selling the building.”

Now that I think about it, it wasn’t wrong.

The film could have been ruined due to lack of talent, but it could have been because that guy interfered in every way.

I don’t know why a good guy is so anxious to block my way.

However.

This life will be different.

‘Cause I’ll cut the bud

“Are you really not selling?”

“No, I don’t sell it. Never, never, even if I die.”

Hwang returned with a sad expression on his face.

My stomach was upset.

President Ahn followed with a bitter expression on his face.

There was one more thing I decided to do when I saw the laundry jammed in the clean laundry.

‘I will work hard and bring back all the customers the clean laundry has stolen.’

* * *

At 9 o’clock, the laundry was closed, and I went up to the second floor of the house to wash and roughly clean.

When I opened the balcony door to clean the veranda, the smell of cum cum stung my nose.

‘Ugh, what does it smell like?’

When I turned on the light, the veranda had become a den of mold.

After it rained once, the condition of the veranda was like this.

A broken washing machine in the corner of the veranda was in the middle of black mold.

‘The washing machine also has mold.’

But I couldn’t just throw it away just because the washing machine, which had stains on my father’s hands, was broken.

I wiped away the mold on the veranda and also cleaned the dust and mold that had accumulated in the washing machine.

It was hard, but seeing the washing machine that was still clean made me feel refreshed.

But then!

A strange blue light started to come out of the washing machine drawer.

The blue glow that started from the veranda filled the living room.

I rubbed my eyes to see if I was wrong, but the light didn’t go away.

‘I don’t even have a code plugged in.’

I carefully opened the washing machine drawer and looked inside, but I couldn’t see the inside because of the light.

‘Isn’t this going to explode?’

When I put my hand on the shimmering light, it felt like a jelly, but it did not stick to my hand.

After thinking about it for a while, I tried to put my courage in my hand.
