Returner's Magic Laundry

Chapter 9

‘Why did they die? Are you at the end of your life?’

He put his nose to the water just in case.

There was a faint smell of latex.

‘The lacquer must have been sprayed on the fungal forest.’

I got up and looked towards the fungal forest.

‘then… … It is said that the waters of this forest are made in that mold forest and run away… … .’

Otherwise, there was no way to explain it.

Fungi, which we thought only to kill, were also playing an essential role in this forest.

No, I even thought that it was those molds that made this forest.

Thoughtlessly spraying detergent was a disaster for this forest.

There was nothing I could do.

Polluted streams have no choice but to wait for new water to come in and be purified.

I wondered if I was ruining the one and only forest in the destroyed world.

The forest was still swaying in the wind, but nothing was said.

Only the dandelion spores circulated wildly around me, turning red as if rebuking me.

“I’m sorry. I’ll be more careful next time.”

I went home today, thinking that I should be more careful in the future.

* * *

When I returned home, I hung my washed clothes on a hanger and hung them neatly on the veranda.

When I looked into the room where my friends were sleeping, everyone was asleep without knowing the world.

The time was only 1:00 in the morning.

I slept deeply in the forest, and it seemed like it would be difficult to sleep again because of the healing waters and my condition was good.

I put healing water in a bucket of water and put it in the refrigerator.

Thinking of friends who will wake up tomorrow morning and sip water for a hangover.

* * *

It was morning and I was ready to go to the pool.

Then someone opened the door and came out.

Kim Sang-il scratched his groin and looked at me with puffy eyes.

“Hey, what are you doing? Haven’t you slept?”

“Put your hands on your pants. dirty.”

“Why is this child all of a sudden? Hey, do you have water?”

“Huh. There is cold water in the refrigerator.”

“Ah, thirsty.”

Kim Sang-il approached the refrigerator, and I swallowed my saliva and watched it.

Waiting for him to drink the water.

By the way… … .

“Oh, there is cider. I should drink cider.”

“Hey, drink water! Don’t drink that cider. It’s all gone.”

“Oh really? You bastard, buy some cider and let it go. Knowing what I like.”

“I know, you bastard. Drink water or the eaves.”

“The kid is cursing and making a fuss. Looks like I’m back in Ahn Nam now. Suddenly, like a criminal, we can’t get used to it.”

Kim Sang-il giggled and began to drink while holding the water bottle.

I could see a fine light starting from my friend’s throat and slowly wrapping around his body.

After drinking, Kim Sang-il suddenly grabbed a water bottle and stared at him.

“Why? Strange?”

“Hey, what is this water? hey, you bastard Did you take any drugs here?”

“What did you say? baby.”

“Why does water taste so good? Are you completely drunk?”

Still, Kim Sang-il’s puffy, puffy face was already getting puffy, and it was seen that his skin, which had been dripping with dog oil, was getting smoother.

I was thrilled when it worked, but I pretended not to know and pretended to be doing something else.

“I just put tap water on it.”

“tap water? Why is tap water like this? The hangover is completely gone.”

“I like tap water these days.”

At that time, Kwak Ki-hyuk and Ko Gun-soo came out next.

It was so beggar-shaped that it was hard to see with my eyes open.

“Hey, you guys, come here and drink this water.”

“I came out because I was still thirsty. Bring the water bottle. i need to sleep more Oh, how much alcohol have you been drinking?”

“We drank quite a bit. When I looked at the receipt earlier, it was over 100,000 won.”

“Hey, where did you get that money from?”

“Of course, I used it as a proceeding fee.”

Kim Sang-il struck Kwak Ki-hyuk in the head.

“Oh! Why are you beating me?”

“What kind of money is that money, it’s a waste to spend on drinking. I have to shoot a movie right now this week.”

“Did I drink alone? Did I drink alone?”

“You have to dry it. Doesn’t the guy who manages the production cost know that?”

In the meantime, Go Geon-soo took the water bottle and started drinking.

“Are these cubs starting again? Think of it as spending 100,000 won on exams. You have to take the exam before the original movie starts.”

After drinking the water, Go Geon-soo wiped his mouth and spoke, and, like Kim Sang-il, his eyes widened and he stared into the water bottle.

“Wow, this water tastes good. Are you out of your mind?”

“Really?”

Kwak Ki-hyuk pushed Kim Sang-il, took the water bottle and started drinking.

“Oh, really? It feels like the hangover is suddenly gone. What is this water?”

“It’s just tap water, but he must have been on some kind of drug.”

After waking up from a hangover, the three of them started arguing in front of the bathroom again, saying that they would shower each other.

“Hey, stop fighting. I will wake up everyone in the neighborhood.”

I also felt better.

“After you shower, you all washed your clothes, so take them to wear. I put it on the veranda.”

I made a simple meal while my friends showered.

When I came out wearing the clothes I had washed, the gods became clear.

“You said you were a laundromat, and you are really talented. If this is enough, the laundry will be crowded with customers.”

“The clothes are really like new clothes. Besides, it smells fresh. Cozy, warm, and feels like the wind is engulfing me.”

“Hey, do you write poetry?”

“Well, that’s what mom writes… … It doesn’t even smell like fabric softener.”

“I had some talent this way. I must have learned something over the shoulders of my parents, whether I knew it or not.”

When I looked around, my friends seemed to agree.

“late. I have to go to the pool. Eat quickly and get up.”

“Okay. Hurry up children. Why did this child suddenly change like this? The guy who thought exercise was a waste of time.”

“Why did you suddenly become a model student?”

“I’m going to become a chaebol by doing laundry. If you go there, you guys will pretend you don’t know. Don’t be sad.”

“What did you say. If you get rich, I’ll be president.”

My friends took my words as a joke, but the moment I uttered them, it became my real goal.

‘Wealthy… … ? Yes, that would be great.’

At first, I just inherited a laundry and tried to live with a small income, but after discovering the forest beyond the portal, it was imperative to change the goal.

But this goal was a goal for another goal I wanted to achieve.

‘If you chase after money, it will run away. I have to make money chase me.’

Even when I became a film director, my goal was to make money by making commercial films rather than releasing good films.

It was difficult for the film industry to take money and art at the same time.

If I did art, I would be satisfied with myself, but it was difficult to make money.

My first film also gave up my color and shot a very commercial film, and although I was criticized a lot, it crossed the break-even point and made quite a bit of money.

Intoxicated with that taste, I filmed the next movie and the next movie just for the sake of money.

The result was a disastrous failure that could lead to death.

After my friends returned, I thought seriously about this goal and headed to the swimming pool with the clothes Shin Se-yeon had entrusted to me.

* * *

When we arrived at the pool, Se-yeon Shin was sitting blankly.

I didn’t even know I was going in, and he looked like he was worried about something.

He put his washed lunch box and paper bag of clothes on the counter, and then he lifted his head and looked at me.

“Oh, did you bring it yourself?”

Soon his expression brightened.

“Yes, I am on my way. What. I ate a lot of vegetables.”

“Aren’t you short? I had a lot of friends, so I guess I should have brought more.”

“No, that was enough.”

“Wow, this scent is really refreshing. The clothes are like brand new clothes. It’s really exciting.”

Shin Se-yeon’s expression brightened again as she took out the washed clothes.

I wondered what he was worried about, but he couldn’t peek into his private life.

He only gets one japchae once, eats it, and washes his clothes once.

“How much?”

“Four clothes and two coats. 48,000 won. They also gave me delicious japchae, but I will give you 3,000 won.”

“No. It’s 48,000 won here. I hate that. When I pay, I pay with certainty and when I receive, I receive it with certainty and I like to break it.

Unlike me, who was indecisive, Shin Se-yeon seemed to have a really brittle personality.

“I wish you well next time. Now I’ll leave it to myself and go look for it. I don’t think you can bring it to the pool.”

“Yes I will.”

“I am now a bone marrow regular. But do you know that? Ahn Nam member, is there something naughty somewhere?”

“Am I?”

“In a good way, you look mature. But it is attractive.”

‘I said, ‘Are you attractive now? She’s a girl who secretly hardens people. He’s 28 years old physically and 52 years old in spirit, so that’s the way it is.’

Suddenly, the word “Ajae” disappeared from my mind and only the word “charm” remained.

After talking a little more with Shin Se-yeon, I headed to the dressing room.

And when no one was there, he carefully unfolded the 48,000 won he had in his hand.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

It was the first profit since starting the laundromat.

‘Yes!’

Feeling his pounding heart, he carefully put the first proceeds into his wallet.

Now it was the beginning.

As I was changing clothes in the changing room with joy, I heard people gossiping.

It was about Shin Se-yeon.

He has a good appearance and has a good sense of fashion, so it was inevitable that other people’s attention would be focused on him.

He often went up and down in the cubica of male members of the swimming pool.

“Have you heard of Counter Seyeon? It looks like you failed the audition this time too.”

“Are you still talking about being an idol? When you’re 22, isn’t it over now?”

“If you’re still 22, you have a chance.”

“These days, the most prolific idols are brought up by the agency from a young age. Seyeon doesn’t seem to be that way.”

I don’t know where the hell I’m hearing such detailed stories.

By the way, was Seyeon making a dark face because of that?

“I wish I could be an actor by looking at your face.”

“It looks like it’s going through that too. My friend is learning theater and she goes to this pool. He said he was judged at an audition in the past.”

This floor is narrow.

Still, I pricked my ears towards him and slowly took off my clothes.

‘So it seems that your expression is dark. I hope Seyeon will do well no matter what she does.’

I couldn’t delay any longer at the sound of a whistle coming from the pool, so I took a shower and went back in.

My swimming skills improved day by day.

Once his breathing had stabilized, going around the lane was no longer a task.

Now, in this beginner class, no one could follow me with kicks.

“ Mr. Ahn Nam, you are truly one-of-a-kind. This should be in the front.”

The swimming instructor put me in front.

“Hey, I’m still slow.”

I just took it out once.

“Don’t leave, go forward. If you follow closely from the back, it will be difficult for the members in front.”

I stood in the front with a look of helplessness.

But regardless of my intentions, I couldn’t help but raise the corners of my lips.

“Come on, grab a kickboard and go one more round~ Don’t bend your knees and kick the papa papa hard. Six kicks and one breath. Go!”

At the instructor’s signal, I set off quickly.

He was still relying on the kickboard, but it seemed that he could do it without the kickboard.

When I turned around and stood in my seat, I looked back and the people were half a lane behind me.

When everyone arrived and was about to leave, an annoying voice came from behind.

“What if you keep hitting your feet!”
