"Ah... it's cold." Only after feeling the chill from being drenched in the rain did I realize that this rain wasn't January snow, but rain itself. If I keep getting drenched in this rain, I'll catch a cold. In dramas, no matter how cold it is, the main characters always catch a cold from getting drenched in the rain, and that's how they feel the sting...
I have to be careful not to catch a cold or any other illness. Why should I do that? What's the big deal if I catch a cold?
Is it really that bad of you to invest that penny in me? 'Huh...'
Knowing I was shivering from the cold again, I couldn't go home to wash up. I should go to the sauna.
Luckily, I have money. I only have 180,000 won left. Is that a lot? Anyway, I'm somewhere warm, so I won't catch a cold. I feel alone in this noisy place. Why do I always feel so alone in life... I was wondering when someone spoke to me.
"Are you alone?"
I'm already sad about being alone for the rest of my life, and to think you'd say something like that...
"Are you alone?"
By the way, who is this old man who keeps asking about other people's households?
"You asked if I was alone."
"Yes...I came alone."
Phew... I thought you'd lose interest now that I answered.
My answer was a dark memory that would remain with me for the rest of my life.
"Phehehe. I asked if you were single."
"yes?"
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
Huh? Oh my, that's really funny. I'm so speechless. Now that I look at him, he has a really manly body, a tall tail, and round eyes. His face is absolutely perfect.
But who is this guy? Why does he keep asking about men? What's the use of being handsome? Now you're even asking if I have a boyfriend...? Do I have a boyfriend...? Why are you asking about my boyfriend... No way. Isn't this guy some kind of sneaky kid?
"You pervert!"
For a moment, silence fell everywhere. It was a truly exhilarating moment. Feeling extremely embarrassed, I bowed my head and headed to the checkout counter, thinking I should drink some shikhye.
"Please give me one in between two eggs and sikhye."
So I ordered two eggs and some shikhye and lay down on the floor. The food had just arrived, but I was so tired from the day that my head hit the floor, so I had no choice but to sleep. I must have slept for a few minutes, but I wasn't fully awake, and then I felt someone staring at me intently, and my eyes snapped open.
"Eww!"
It wasn't me who yelled, it was the census taker.
"What if...you suddenly open your eyes!"
What the... I guess he was really surprised to see me even stammering. I ignored him and started cracking an egg next to me.
"Who cracks eggs like that?"
Miss... this old man's meddling again. He's not even a grandpa, so why is he so interested in a little girl? Haha.
'puck-'
"ouch!"
The census taker took my last egg and smashed it into my head. Then, out of the blue, he said this.
"This is how you peel an egg"
It was already sad enough to lose an egg, but now my head is broken too... I'll say something for the sake of that poor egg that fell into your hands!
"Why are you putting it on someone else's head when you could just put it on your own head?"
For a moment, the old man literally stood still. Ah... I must have spoken well, I thought, and focused on the egg I was cracking. But then... the old man was frozen for another reason. Of course, I didn't know why, and just as I was feeling self-satisfied, thinking, "Did I really speak well?"...
I felt something sticky on my scalp.
