Aladdin {Modern Edition}
02 Meeting again
Chirp chirp chirp chirp-]
| A house where you can hear birds chirping.
| In the middle of the house, there is Jimin sleeping with a calm face as if he doesn't know anything.
박지민
Ssaeakssaeak-]
| And then the alarm sound that wakes Jimin up.
Rrrrrrrrrr. Rrrrr. Rrrrrrr.
박지민
Sigh..
| Jimin, who was too lazy to turn off the alarm, was about to fix the blanket and go to sleep.
Suddenly-]
박민도
Park Jimin, the sun is high in the sky. Get up quickly.
07:00 AM
| Jimin frowns as if he is displeased at Min-do's comment that it is still early in the morning and the sun is high in the sky.
박지민
...
박민도
Come out quickly, my little brother has been up for a while now.
박지민
..Park Ji-eun.. Are you here?
박민도
Glance-]
박민도
Why, you don't want the author to come?
박지민
..no.
박민도
Come out quickly, the author wants to see you.
박지민
..yes,
bang-]
박지민
...under.
| Jimin brushes his hair back as if it were a habit, as if he finds the existence of Ji-eun annoying, and gets up from the bed.
박지은
Oppa!!!
| As Jimin came out to the living room, a woman approached him with a bright smile as if she was happy to see him.
The name of the young woman who looks like a boutique even from afar is Park Ji-eun.
| He is adopted.
| From the perspective of Jimin, the biological child of Jisook and Mindo, Ji-eun simply doesn't seem to like him.
박지민
Sweeping my hair -] ...
박지은
..are you ignoring me now?
박민도
..Jimin-ah, if it's been a while since I've seen you, you should say hello.
박지민
under..
박지민
[Glance-] Long time no see.
박지은
Singgeut_ Wow.. You greeted me-????
박지민
...
박지은
Hehehe, me too!! It's been a while for me too!!
김지숙
It's been a while since the four of us have eaten together.
박지은
That's right!! It's already been... 5 years!
박민도
[Nodding-] To celebrate the author's safe return, should I give Dad some strength today for the first time in a while?
박지은
There is no need for that!!!
박지은
..My brother looks uncomfortable..
박지민
...
박민도
Don't worry about it, your brother will still eat dinner with you.
widely-]
박지민
Let me get up first.
김지숙
..Jimin.
박민도
Sit down, it's been a while since I've seen you, Ji-eun..!
박지민
Come to think of it, I have an appointment today.
박지민
I'll be in before the sun sets.
Rrrrrr. Rrrrrrrrrrr. Rrrrrrr.
강여주
iced coffee..
| The heroine opens her eyes to the cheerful sound of an alarm in the early morning.
| He gets up in a hurry with a sullen face and starts washing up.
•••
09:50 AM
강여주
Nod-] Now... I need to make some money. Kang Yeo-ju.
강여주
How long will I have to live off of pocket money from mom and dad?
강여주
Wake up!!! It's your first part-time job!!!!
Rrrrrrrrr.
강여주
It's late!!!!!
| The place where Yeoju came to was a bookstore with a warm and cozy feel.
강여주
hello..!
"Ah, Lady Kang?"
It was a bookstore run by my grandfather.
강여주
Yes..! Please call me Yeoju!
"Okay, follow me. I'll tell you."
-
강여주
Ah, I see!
"Then I have a favor to ask, lady."
강여주
Yes..! Be careful on your way in, Grandpa.
-
강여주
Hmm... I guess it's a quiet bookstore so there aren't many people.
Knock knock knock-]
| In the quiet bookstore, only the low click of Yeoju's footsteps could be heard.
| At that time.
강여주
..?
| The mysterious object picked up by the female protagonist.
강여주
What the... there's so much dust...
Ding-]
강여주
Oh..Ah! Welcome!
박지민
Are you there?
강여주
Here!! Here!!!
The female protagonist, who was a little over 160 cm tall, stood on tiptoe and waved her hands vigorously.
박지민
Oh, I'm saying this because I'm looking for a book.
강여주
Yes, what book is it?
박지민
Raising my head-] Allah..
강여주
Raising my head-] Know..?
강여주
Oh my...!
박지민
What, it's a sphere?
강여주
Oh..no, didn't you go to the bookstore yesterday?
박지민
..I came here because the bookstore didn't have the book I wanted.
강여주
Nod-] Oh, I see..
강여주
So what book were you looking for?
박지민
It's Aladdin.
강여주
Um...just a moment, it should be on the ㅇ line...
| Unlike yesterday, her hair was let down, so her brown hair was slightly wavy and reached her chest.
| Park Jimin's taste was exactly what it was.
박지민
...
강여주
Ah..! I found it.
박지민
...
강여주
Uh...excuse me?
박지민
...
강여주
Hey there!!!! I found the book!!!!
박지민
Oh..ah,
강여주
Nod-] Here you go.
박지민
..thank you.
| The hands of the female protagonist and Jimin brushed against each other as the female protagonist handed over the book.
| Jimin's ears turned red again.
강여주
Then I'll help you calculate it.
박지민
..if.
강여주
yes?
박지민
When do you work?
강여주
Uh... Are you talking about that?
박지민
Nod-] Yes.
강여주
I start today and work 5 days a week except Monday and Tuesday!
강여주
But why is that..?
박지민
..sigh_
박지민
No, nothing.
박지민
In a small voice-] I just... thought I'd see you often.
강여주
Yes? I didn't hear that...
박지민
Phew_ It's nothing, just calculate it.
강여주
Nod-] I will help you calculate 7,800 won.
박지민
Here it is.
강여주
Yes, the 7,800 won calculation has been completed. Would you like a cash receipt?
박지민
yes.
강여주
Please sign in front.
Swish, swish-]
강여주
Here's your cash receipt. Would you like me to put it in an envelope for you?
박지민
yes.
강여주
Oh my...!
박지민
???
강여주
That's right...you left the book at that cafe...
박지민
Oh, yes. How do you know?
강여주
I was planning on giving it to you when we meet again... Oh my...
박지민
Okay, I'll come back later, so give it to me then.
강여주
Nod-] Please come and find me!
박지민
Yes, don't worry. Haha
강여주
Well then..! Take care and see you again sometime!
박지민
Nod-] I will definitely see you.
| Even Jimin left the bookstore, and silence returned.
강여주
Oh, where is that thing?
강여주
..found it.
| I carefully lifted the golden object that was covered in dust.
강여주
..lamp..?
| That object is none other than a lamp.
| I urgently look for the book 'Aladdin' in the bookstore.
강여주
Aladdin... I have to find Aladdin...
강여주
Okay..I found it.
강여주
'The lamp covered in gold gave off a mysterious aura to anyone who saw it.'
강여주
..it's Aladdin's lamp.
Swish, swish-]

지니
[Wink-] Congratulations on becoming my new master.
Yes..! Genie came out very quickly..?
So a little bit.. Progress, huh huh!!! I can't go out..!
So, even if it's frustrating, just endure it for a little longer...?
++ To give a little spoiler, Japa is... probably Park Ji-eung... sob sob
