“How about this?”
Midsummer asked as he handed me a blanket. It was soft and fluffy, as if touching a cloud.
“It’s soft.”
We are now at a department store downtown. The furniture spread all over the sparkling marble looked very luxurious, so it felt like I was in an art gallery to appreciate works of art rather than to go shopping.
“Then I’ll do it with this.”
The whole time I was paying for the duvet, I clicked my tongue in the middle of summer.
“Anyway, is there anything I can’t help you with? There is a lot of work to be done.”
“There was nothing particularly inconvenient.”
“Even so, sleeping on the floor with newspapers on is not a bad thing. I said don’t worry and I didn’t even change the door lock battery.”
“It’s because I don’t know.”
Because I just stayed in bed after moving in. This morning this guy came over and said, “Can I help you?” If I hadn’t been arguing and listening, I wouldn’t have known yet.
“I was the first to find it, so it’s a shame, but what if I get a thief? … .”
A stinging nagging flew towards his ear, but he did not respond. Because this is the way he gets his own comfort.
just like what i’m doing
“Hurry. I have to buy a refrigerator and washing machine before it is too late.”
“I’m going to buy some rice anyway, and there is a coin laundry near my house.”
“Hey, I know you have a lot of money, but if you spend it like that, it will run out quickly.”
“Yes.”
I followed Midsummer’s footsteps in a moderate way. At that moment, a familiar vibrating sound came from inside my pocket.
It was a push message sent by the Bitcoin exchange app.
“What are you doing.”
“Wait a minute.”
Amidst the countless red triangles reflected through the smartphone screen, a blue inverted triangle in between caught my eye.
It was the Pia coin that I put the money in yesterday.
“excuse me?”
“Go first. Because I have something to see.”
“I see.”
After a midsummer trudging footsteps behind me, I operated the news app by operating my smartphone.
Why is the coin, which had risen so recklessly until yesterday, suddenly declined? Alone in the midst of an uptrend.
＜Mars Dordain, “Pia Coin is a big deal… Suspension of our vehicle payment service.”>
The reason is undoubtedly because of this.
Does not matter. After all, compared to the profits that have been made so far, the amount is not even worth the money.
The moment I quickly operated the button and sold all my coins, dozens of push messages bursting out with a thunderous vibration filled the screen of the smartphone.
[010-4XXX-XXXX]
Do you see Dojin-ah?
[010-4XXX-XXXX]
Do Jin-ah
[010-7XXX-XXXX]
bro pick up the phone
[010-9XXX-XXXX]

[010-9XXX-XXXX]

[010-2XXX-XXXX]
why did you block us
[010-2XXX-XXXX]
hey
[010-4XXX-XXXX]
Answer the phone, Dojin-ah
Boo-woong, Boo-woong, Boo-woong, Boo-woong.
The smartphone continues to emit strong vibrations. Although it was an unknown number, it was not difficult to guess that they were messages from former co-workers.
[Phone – 010-4XXX-XXXX]
[Phone – 010-2XXX-XXXX]
I just decided to answer the phone. Because I thought it would be faster.
“hello.”
“uh… Dojin is the voice of Dojin… … . Ahh, I finally got it… … .”
A voice that seems to be drowsy, but still stands somewhere, flies in my ear. There’s only one person I know who has a voice like this.
“Oh Min-seo, what’s going on, all of a sudden.”
“What happened… ? what two days… … ?”
Min-seo Oh, who was repeating what I said with an exaggerated tone, sighed deeply.
“That’s what we want to say… … . Why aren’t you at work? … ? A little over a week… … .”
“I retired.”
“a… . I know that resigning is a joke… … .”
“What are you talking about, I’m sure that day—”
“Do Jin-ah? Dojin is right! Do Jin-ah! Sister!”
The moment I was about to answer Min-seo Oh’s absurd question, a voice filled with urgency cut my words.
I frowned at the sudden roar.
“Do, Jin-ah… … ? I’m listening. I know you’re listening! Where are you, where are you now! are you out? isn’t it cold? Bob, where did you sleep? my sister will go I’m going, so just tell me which building it’s in, no, just tell me what’s around. Do Jin-ah… … !”
It wasn’t difficult to imagine what kind of face she would have now, from the watery, dangerously creaking voice.
weakens Even now, the desire to apologize and lean on her sister’s back springs up from the inside of her heart.
“sister.”
But I calmly decided to say what I had to say.
“I am really reflecting a lot. To cause trouble to the people of the company by taking up a seat on a subject that I don’t have the ability to.”
“Do, Dojin-ah?”
“The one I’m most sorry about is my sister.”
“What… … ?”
“Sister, you don’t have to worry about me because of love anymore. now i know I know that I am a poor person who cannot live up to my sister’s expectations.”
“Wow, what are you talking about? Okay, so please tell me where you are! Right now, my sister-.”
After saying that, I hung up the phone and blocked Dasomi’s number.
Literally one-sided notice. I don’t feel good about it either, but if I don’t do this, I will pamper my sister again, and it will lead to the beginning of a new vicious cycle.
then it shouldn’t
Booung.
Once again, the smartphone vibrates.
[010-9XXX-XXXX]
Dojin-ah, that firearm is in bad shape. I’ll call you again.
[010-1XXX-XXXX]
Do Jin-ah, isn’t it a coincidence?
[010-2XXX-XXXX]
My sister is wrong, don’t block me
[010-7XXX-XXXX]
Are you mad because your sister didn’t go right away?
[010-5XXX-XXXX]
I’m sorry, tell me where you are.
I turned off my smartphone and headed to the home appliance section.
“Did you see everything? I picked a few, take a look… … .”
“I’m sorry, but something has happened and I have to go. You buy it yourself.”
“yes? why?”
Midsummer hears my words and his eyes are like drops of water.
“My phone is broken, so I’ll try to fix it first.”
* * *
“I just picked it up.”
“After all, it doesn’t change much just because I choose. Just buy anything.”
“Still, I live with that money, so that person has to choose. I can’t afford to spend that much money.”
“Then I can either go in today or come out next. … .”
“How long does it take to buy a cell phone, I finished it today as soon as it came out. ”
Midsummer, who continued to grumble, suddenly frowned. The sun, which had been obscured by the clouds, came out and pierced his eyes.
All of a sudden, the fluff that grew on my midsummer clothes caught my eye. I didn’t know it when I was in a place with poor lighting like indoors, but now that I see it, it’s almost like rags.
“Why don’t you buy clothes?”
“As I said, I have no intention of wasting money unnecessarily. You can wash and dry your clothes.”
“It’s okay, buy it. If you get suspicious of wearing it like that, it hurts your head.”
Hearing my words, Midsummer nodded while fiddling with his cuffs with a complicated expression.
After walking for a few minutes with that little distance, a cell phone dealer showed up.
I hurriedly opened the door and went in.
“welcome. What site did you visit?”
“… … ?”
site?
These days, when you buy a cell phone, do you have to look at the Internet site in advance?
“Compu.”
While I was thinking about the meaning, Midsummer answered.
“Ah, Compu. you saw it there Please sit down.”
I gently patted Midsummer’s back.
“What happened.
“Okay, so I’m going to sit down.”
I sat on the chair almost pushed aside.
“What can I do to help you?”
The first to speak was the clerk. He smiled and sat down on a chair.
“My phone is broken. And I want to change my phone number.”
“Oh, that’s right. Do you have a specific type that you have decided on?”
It is a set species.
Come to think of it, I’ve seen internet advertisements that foldable smartphones have come out these days. first do that It seems to be suitable for watching movies.
“Yeah, I’m thinking of getting a Sirius Fold 2, but.”
“Sirius Fold 2! This is true, we are currently running a special discount event for those who purchase the Sirius Fold 2 at our dealership. I’ll sell you really cheap. Instead, you should not go anywhere and ask questions. It gives me a headache if I get caught on it.”
“thank you.”
“It’s what you buy, and we’re even more grateful. Now, if you look at the affiliate card first… … .”
“It’s done. How much does that phone cost now?”
Midsummer cut off the words of the clerk who gave out a pamphlet with a smile.
“Yes Yes… … ? Uh, that’s over there, 1.82 million won… … .”
I stabbed Midsummer’s shoulder once again, but he didn’t look at me, just talking to the clerk by bringing out unknown terms.
“… … The total will be 120,000 won.”
The agent at the agency handed me the contract with an expression that looked like he was going to burst into tears at any moment. The first bright and bubbly atmosphere had long since disappeared.
“excuse me. Are you changing your carrier number? Why are you taking that benefit away?”
“Ugh… … .”
After all the twists and turns, I signed the contract and handed the smartphone to the agent at the dealership.
“… … That, customer? What do you do with the data left on your old phone? A photo or contact information. If you want, I can move you.”
“No need.”
Because I hated it because I remembered the time that caused them trouble.
With that said, it was the moment I turned on my smartphone.
[010-98XX-XXXX]
Do Jin-ah
[010-98XX-XXXX]
I changed my number.
… …
[010-71XX-XXXX]
Blocking is not enough, so change your number?
[010-71XX-XXXX]
Let’s just go out, this is it now
[010-71XX-XXXX]
If you don’t want to answer the phone
[Phone – 010-71XX-XXXX]
“Hey, isn’t this defective? Whose cell phone is going to explode as soon as you turn it on?”
Midsummer raises his axe and stares at the agency employee.
“Well, it can be. They don’t play with things.”
