Episode 5. Kim Yeo-ju's Time of Suffering


직원
"Lady, please guide these people."


김여주
"yes!"

직원
"Please set up a reservation for table number 2."


김여주
"yes...!!"

This is the restaurant where I work part-time.

I work here from 6 o'clock after school.

It's evening and I'm very busy so I don't have time to rest.


김여주
Oh...my legs hurt

As soon as I finish my part-time job here, I have to go work at a convenience store.

It's full of part-time jobs not only on weekdays but also on weekends.

But I have to pay my mom's hospital bills...

직원
"Kim Yeo-ju, I'll guide you..."

Ugh, I can't even think about anything right now!!

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

During my hectic restaurant part-time job, the incident occurred while serving coffee...


김여주
"The Americano you ordered is here."

While serving coffee to a lady who looked quite nice,

For a moment, I burned my hand on the cup and spilled the coffee...


김여주
"I'm so sorry, sir!!! Are you okay?!!!"

손님
"Are you crazy!!?? Do you know how much this shawl costs?!!"

It was fortunate that the guest was not injured, but coffee droplets splashed on the white shawl he was wearing.


김여주
"I'm truly sorry. I'll definitely compensate you! First, could you please give me this shawl..."

-Tak!!

손님
"Where are you putting your hands right now?!! This shawl costs more than four or five months' salary!!"

A guest who slaps away my hand as I try to pick up the shawl

I have a hard time coming to my senses when I see you keep yelling.


김여주
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry."

All I can do is bow my head

There's nothing I can do

however,


김여주
"Ah ...

Jorurur-

손님
"How on earth did you get an education? I should have taught you a real lesson!?"

A customer who poured coffee directly on my head

As soon as I raise my head, coffee flows down my face and onto my white shirt...

Putting aside the fact that it's hot

This situation was so embarrassing and frustrating that I could only stand there frozen...

"Oh my, what should I do..." "Oh my god..."

The restaurant was filled with silence, with only the voices of other surprised customers audible.


김여주
"customer."

I wiped my eyes with my sleeve and looked straight at my wife.

...Even if I get cut, I can't just get cut like this


김여주
"I know it was really my fault for spilling the coffee..."


김여주
"But you know that what you did to me just now was absolutely not self-defense, right?"


김여주
You messed with the wrong person


김여주
"Customer, did you take pictures of all of this??"

I saw a customer sitting a little far away taking pictures of the woman when she started shouting.

Things are a bit more favorable for me now...

손님
"What? What did you take a picture of??!!"


김여주
What the heck...


김여주
"This video will be a hit on social media starting today."


김여주
"As a nuisance customer who spills coffee on a helpless part-timer..."


김여주
"If you don't want to be famous, then stop now and offer a sincere apology."

손님
"Ha!!! What?!!"


김여주
"I will definitely compensate you for the cost of the shawl..."


김여주
"Please apologize to me. Sincerely."


김여주
"If that's the case, I won't report you to the Ministry of Labor or distribute the video."

손님
"You're so fearless, aren't you?? Manager!! Where's the manager?!!"

매니저
".....Sir, I am the manager."

The manager approached me with quick steps...

I felt both relieved and upset.

The manager is famous for being kind

Part-time jobs are strictly prohibited at Ami High School.

Even though you know that violating this can lead to expulsion in severe cases,

At my words that I need to pay for my mother's hospital bills

They hired me right away and always took care of me...


김여주
But, in this situation, anyone would choose that guest.

It used to be a great place to work... but now...

매니저
"Sir, I'm sorry, but would you please leave our restaurant?"


김여주
????!!!!

Oh my god, why are you on my side...

손님
"You want me to leave now??!!"

매니저
"Yes, please leave immediately."

손님
"Hey, is it okay to do this to a customer right now?!! Don't you know I'm a VIP here??!!"

손님
"If I complain to you, you'll all be fired!!!"

I looked at the manager with worried eyes,

He just made eye contact and smiled slightly.


김여주
Why are you doing that? What are you really trying to do?

매니저
"Our restaurant's CEO said,"

"He told me to fire anyone who treats part-timers rudely in their role as customers and never treat them again."

손님
"The CEO...?"

매니저
“You do know that our restaurant is a subsidiary of SH Group, right? Would you mind leaving?”

손님
"....under"


김여주
I didn't know our restaurant was also part of the SH Group.

매니저
"Please leave your account number. I will compensate you for the shawl."

After the manager finished speaking, Mrs. Jin Sang-sa left the restaurant in a huff.

매니저
"Hey lady, are you okay??"

직원
"Lady, what should I do... First, wipe it with this."

The manager's warm words and the staff member who handed me a towel...

Tears well up in my eyes without me knowing it.


김여주
"....Thank you, Manager.."

매니저
"No, I was just doing what was expected. And it was our director's orders..."

직원
"It was awesome! The manager earlier was really the best!!"

직원
"But did the director really say that?!! I've never met him before, but he's really cool!!"


김여주
That's right... Even though you're the CEO, you prioritize part-timers over customers... That's really amazing.

매니저
"That's right, how could the second son of the great SH Group give such an order..."


김여주
????!!!!


김여주
"Manager, who is the CEO?"

매니저
"Oh, you didn't know, did you?

매니저
"This restaurant is managed by Director Kim Tae-hyung..."


김여주
......her??
