???- Hey, is Kang Deok-bae's daughter here?-
Kang Ji-yeon - Yes, that's me?
Private loan shark - Mr. Kang Deok-bae, I can't get in touch with you.
My daughter came to see me because she works here.
Jiyeon suspected this person was definitely a loan shark. She figured her father had borrowed money again and left his contact information with them.
And Jiyeon really hated her father who held her back until the very end.
Kang Ji-yeon - ...Please go. I've cut ties with my dad for a while now.
Loan shark - Hey, even so, we have to get the money.
You said you were my father.
Kang Ji-yeon - That person is no longer my father.
Loan sharks: We can't help it. We received Kang Ji-yeon's contact information from Kang Deok-bae, and we were told to collect the money from above, so we can't go until we receive it.
Kang Ji-yeon - I don't have that money.
My brother and I have a hard time even eating one meal together!!!
Loan shark - AC···, what are you calling me.. (mumble)
The loan shark muttered to himself with a look of annoyance on his face and showed no sign of turning back.
Kang Ji-yeon - First of all, please leave. I'm working right now.
bang.-
The man kicked the door hard.
Kang Ji-yeon- ..!!
Why are you like this!!
Loan shark - I'm saying this in a nice way, but it doesn't sound like much, does it?
We have to get paid to go.
Kang Ji-yeon - I don't have any money... I don't have any today.
Please get out...
The restaurant patrons began to murmur at the loud noise.
And the trainees looking from afar and observing her... Jiyeon felt so embarrassed by the situation. She wanted to run away from there right away.
Kang Ji-yeon - Please, sir...
Loan shark- AC..!
Pfft.-
He knelt on the floor and turned towards the rain delay.
I did a hand check.
Kang Ji-yeon- Oh no!
Knock knock.-)
Kim Seok-jin - Excuse me, why are you doing this in someone else's restaurant?
Seokjin, who couldn't stand to watch, got up and approached the loan shark.
Loan shark- What, this little bastard.
Kim Seok-jin - Should I call the police in broad daylight when there are customers out and about?
Loan shark- ...Fuck, what the...
Guest 1 - "Yeah! Why are you causing such a fuss here? You!"
Customer 2- How can a grown man hit a kid like that!! I'm reporting this immediately!!
The guests in the restaurant were also impressed by Seokjin's courage.
One by one, they began to speak out.
Loan shark- ...Hey, get ready because I'll get all your money back next time you come.
widely.-
The man left the restaurant empty-handed.
He'll definitely be back. Until he gets the money from Delay.
Kang Ji-yeon-....
dump)
Jiyeon's legs lost all strength and she just sat there.
Hesitate.
And then after that, as if nothing happened
He lifted his hunched body.
Kim Taehyung - Sister, are you okay?
Taehyung looks at Jiyeon with worried eyes.
Kang Ji-yeon - Yes, it's okay.. haha
Sorry, I was noisy today, right?
Jung Ho-seok - No, I'm fine. Are you hurt anywhere?
Kang Ji-yeon-...It's okay.
I... I'm going to the bathroom for a bit... I'll be back.
-
Jiyeon hurried into the bathroom and looked in the mirror. Sure enough, there was a scratch on her forehead, likely from the loan shark's hand.
It was a small wound, but it still stung.
Kang Ji-yeon-...ha
-
Kim Namjoon - Here, the calculation.
Kang Ji-yeon - Yes, thank you.
Kim Namjoon - Next time something like this happens, report it immediately.
Because it's obstruction of business
Kang Ji-yeon - Yes, thank you for your concern.
Kim Namjoon - Then, take care
Park Jimin - We'll go
Kim Taehyung - I'll come again!
So the students headed to the practice room.
As the students left, the restaurant's customers began to empty one by one. Before I knew it, it was time to leave. I finished cleaning up the restaurant and waited for my aunt.
Auntie - Jiyeon, are you done cleaning up?
Kang Ji-yeon- Yes..!
Auntie - Let's go in for today. You had a hard time today, right?
Kang Ji-yeon - Yes, I'll go in and take a look.
Auntie- Oh, just a moment, Jiyeon!
My aunt stopped Jiyeon from leaving.
Auntie - Take this and eat it with Jihyuk~
I bet the side dishes are all gone~
My aunt prepared various kinds of salted seafood and vegetables for Jiyeon.
He handed over the lunch box.
Kang Ji-yeon - Ah... thank you...
I'm sorry... I just receive it all the time...
Auntie- Oh my, what are you just taking! I know how hard Jiyeon works at our restaurant!
I'm proud of you for always working hard and being like our daughter.
Kang Ji-yeon - Thank you, I will enjoy the meal.
Jihyuk really likes his aunt's side dishes.
Auntie - Okay, take care
Kang Ji-yeon - Yes
-
As Jiyeon left the restaurant, she ran into some trainees who had just finished practicing in the basement and were heading home.
Min Yoongi- Over there,
Yoon-ki carefully calls Ji-yeon, who is leaving work.
Kang Ji-yeon- Yes?
Min Yoongi- Apply this.
Yun-gi gave Ji-yeon some side dishes and ointment.
Kang Ji-yeon - Why is this...
Min Yoongi - Today, I got hurt at the restaurant.
Put it there, forehead...
Kang Ji-yeon - Ah, when did we meet again? Haha (embarrassing)
thank you....
Min Yoongi - Then, take care on your way home from work.
Kang Ji-yeon- Ah, over there!
yunki min- ...?
Kang Ji-yeon - Take this. It's not much, but...
Jiyeon put the rest of the lunch box in Yoongi's hand.
Min Yoongi - Why are you doing this to me?
Kang Ji-yeon - Banchango and Yeon-go, thank you..
Eat with your friends
Min Yoongi- Didn't your aunt give it to you to eat with your younger sibling?
Kang Ji-yeon - That's true, but I can still receive it.
It's okay,, I accept it
Min Yoongi - Okay, I'll eat well. Thank you.
-
I had forgotten that the sunlight was warmer than in winter during the day, and that the cold wind still blew at night.
It seems to be weaving its way through the alleyways. Walking alone through these alleyways at night feels eerie. Even the narrow passageways are sparsely lit. But even those lights disappear as you delve deeper into the passageway. Every night, I pass through these alleyways on my way home.
Kang Ji-hyuk- Sister!!
Jihyuk runs towards Jiyeon, calling her from afar.
Kang Ji-yeon - What, you didn't sleep?
Kang Ji-hyuk - I've been waiting for you, sister!
Kang Ji-yeon - What if I don't sleep by now? I have school tomorrow.
Kang Ji-hyuk - It's okay! You can wake up early.
Kang Ji-yeon-..Oh my,,
Oh, that's right. Jihyuk, look at this?
Jiyeon lifted the lunch box her aunt had given her.
Kang Ji-hyuk - What is this?
Kang Ji-yeon - My aunt gave me some side dishes to give to you.
Kang Ji-hyuk - Yay!
Kang Ji-yeon - I'll come back later to thank my aunt.
Got it?
Kang Ji-hyuk - Okay! I understand.
Kang Ji-yeon- haha
Jiyeon smiles as she looks at Jihyuk.
Jiyeon's heart felt calm as if the hardships of the day were melting away. And
Jiyeon feels anew that there are still warm people around her. Thankfully.
-
Even in the cold wind
There is a space to melt your body
It becomes a great support.
