Episode 66
Lee Sang-seop’s mouth watered at Im Ho-jin’s wink.
“I feel like I unintentionally ended up playing the bad guy.”
“I will listen.”
Lee Sang-seop nodded at Choi Dong-hae’s words and said.
“Mr. Choi Dong-hae has a lot of excuses.”
“yes?”
“If you are criticized, you should first make an excuse. If you are criticized, you should also know how to accept it. Don’t back down from criticism.”
“All right.”
“… Let’s just… … … … … .”
“yes’?”
Lee Sang-seop smiled and poured soju into a glass for Choi Dong-hae, who was looking puzzled.
“Fix this much. If you try to fix it any further… … it would be better to be reborn.”
“It will be quick.”
“If it’s done to this extent, Donghae must have felt something too.”
Then, Lee Sang-seop stood up and said.
“It’s been a while since we’ve had a company dinner, but I feel like the conversation is focused too much on Donghae. Auntie! Please bring me five more bottles of soju and five more bottles of beer.”
Lee Sang-seop ordered more alcohol and said.
“As you know, our department only has one dinner. We don’t have a karaoke dinner or anything like that, so I think we should hurry up. So from now on, I’ll just eat a little bit! Oh! And if you think you’re going to drink, please turn your glass over. It’s a culture that doesn’t encourage drinking these days.”
Smiling, Lee Sang-seop gathered the glasses and started pouring beer and soju.
So, with the bomb drink made by Lee Sang-seop
The employees started running quickly.
And before they knew it, thoughts of Choi Dong-hae had disappeared from their minds.
But as the intoxication grew, Choi Dong-hae could only recall the story he had heard today.
The dinner ended at 10 o’clock.
“Manager, please come in.”
“Sir, please be careful on your way in.”
Kang Jin, who was seeing off the people entering the subway station, looked at Choi Dong Hae who was left next to him.
“Mr. Donghae isn’t going?”
“I… I want to eat a bowl of ramen.”
At Choi Dong-hae’s words, Kang Jin looked at the time and nodded.
“Let’s go.”
Since we had a company dinner near the office, it was close to Kang Jin’s restaurant. Kang Jin arrived at the restaurant after walking for about 5 minutes and immediately boiled ramen.
Kang Jin boiled two packages of ramen in the same amount of water as one package of ramen, and placed the bowl of ramen, which was as soupless as Jjajang ramen, in front of Choi Dong Hae.
“The ramen is here. Would you like some rice for free too?”
Choi Dong-hae paused for a moment in response to Kang Jin’s question.
I shook my head while looking at the ramen.
“it’s okay.”
Then, Choi Dong-hae picked up his chopsticks and started eating the ramen. Watching him, Kang Jin said,
“Does the stories that come up at company dinners bother you a lot?”
At Kang Jin’s words, Choi Dong Hae stopped eating his ramen for a moment. But then he started eating it again.
After eating all the ramen, Choi Dong-hae drank some water and looked at Kang Jin.
all.
“Mr. Lee Kang-jin… …
Choi Dong-hae paused for a moment and continued speaking while looking at Kang Jin.
“Can I call you hyung?”
“Do that.”
When told that he would be called hyung, Kang Jin spoke without hesitation.
Choi Dong-hae opened his mouth with Kang Jin’s permission.
“Actually… … as you know, I didn’t like you that much.”
“I know.”
“It was a sense of entitlement.”
Kang Jin looked at Choi Dong Hae’s words. Under his gaze, Choi Dong Hae continued speaking.
“I got an internship at a trading company even though I wasn’t a trade major, and my teammates liked me more than I did as a trade major. That’s why I hated my brother… … I think.”
“If it was done, it’s in the past tense? Does that mean it’s not now?”
“Even now… … To be honest, I do get jealous. My teammates still like my hyung more than me.”
Kang Jin shook his head slightly at Choi Dong Hae’s words.
‘To be timid…
“So you’re going to hate me from now on?” I knew the answer. When I saw him calling me brother and talking like this, I knew he was going to hate me.
It may not have been done.
“Instead of hating each other, let’s become friends.”
Kang Jin looked at him with puzzled eyes at the unexpected words.
“Was the story you heard today shocking you?”
“Actually… … that’s it. And it’s a fact that I didn’t want to see until now.”
Then Choi Dong-hae opened his mouth.
“What should I do now?”
“Lose weight.”
“I have to take it off.”

“No… … Please take it out.”
Choi Dong-hae nodded at Kang Jin’s words. Kang Jin, who was looking at Choi Dong-hae, opened his mouth.
“How is your house?”
“Our house?”
“If you don’t get a job for about a year,
“I wonder if it won’t be a burden at home if I rest.”
“It’s not bad… … but you want me to take a year off?”
Kang Jin asked Choi Dong Hae’s words.
“Since when did you gain weight?”
“It’s probably been since I was in 2nd year of middle school.”
“Then you were fat for about 11 years.”
Choi Dong-hae is now 26 years old… … so we should assume that he has been fat for about 11 years.
“Yes.”
“Then all the bad things that happened to me because I was fat for the past 11 years… … are you going to experience them for the next 20, 30, and so on?”
Choi Dong-hae’s face hardened at Kang Jin’s words.
“no.”
“You must have tried dieting a few times.”
“yes.”
“But if you do that, something will happen and you won’t be able to do it. Right?”
“How about that?”
“It’s the same as quitting smoking.”
“Brother, do you smoke?”
“No, when I saw the uncles I knew quit smoking and then start smoking again, they all had excuses. Something bad happened at home, they were drinking, etc.”
Choi Dong-hae’s lips curled at the word excuse
I bit it. Thinking about it, Kang Jin’s words were right.
I was on a diet when the holidays came, and I thought I’d be okay eating for a day or so because it was the holiday, but I ruined it.
While I was dieting, my friend enlisted in the army, and one of my few friends was going to go, so I decided to eat today and ended up ruining it.
I was dieting again and I felt dizzy and thought I was going to die so I ate.
Now that I think about it, they were all excuses.
“I… was an excuse maker.”
At Choi Dong-hae’s words, Kang Jin looked at him and said.
“It won’t be easy to diet while working. Plus, after your internship, you’ll have to graduate and start preparing for a job. The stress from that will only make you make more excuses.”
“Then what should we do?”
“There are two ways. The first is to quit your internship, go to school, take a break, and diet like crazy for about a year. The second is to diet a little while doing your internship, and then diet for about a year after your internship ends.”
“You want me to do nothing for a year and just diet?”
It was a difficult task for Choi Dong-hae, who had just graduated and was preparing for employment.
But Choi Dong-hae thought about Kang Jin
Life came before employment. If things were as they are now, health would be the first issue, not social life.
“I’ve never been on a diet, but I think that dieting would be as hard as quitting smoking. It’s like removing fat from your body, and it can’t be easy. So I want you to do nothing for a year and just diet.”
“that is……”
Just diet for a year
It is not an easy task, especially for Choi Dong-hae, who has to prepare for employment.
“Donghae, how tall and heavy are you?”
At Kang Jin’s question, Choi Dong Hae hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth.
“1
Uh… … 128.”
I lost about 2 kilograms. The feeling of being 120 and 130 is different. Of course, that is just Choi Dong-hae’s opinion, and it may vary from person to person.
The crab was just an amazing number, 120 or 130.
“You know there are a lot, right?”
“……yes.”
“Even though these days we live in an era where people live to be 100, it’s actually impossible to live to be 100… … But still, we live to be 80.”
“Yes.”
“So, if you have about 54 years left in your life, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to think of it as wasting a year and invest in the remaining 53 years.
“Oh? Living healthily to 80 and living to 80 while struggling are two different things.”
Choi Dong-hae nodded at Kang Jin’s words.
“My brother
What do you think?
” I am
uh.”
When the internship is over
I wish
” as soon as
No?”
Starting with diet
That is
“I have met many people through many part-time jobs, but here
underneath
“There were no people as good as my teammates. No, there was no company with a work environment as good as Taekwang Trading Company.”
“I think so.”
“The practical experience and interpersonal relationships you learn during your internship here will be helpful to you in the future. And even if you don’t become a full-time employee as an intern, you can still take the entrance exam and get in.”
“Yes.”
“After working as an intern here for a year… … go on a diet. Then take the official entrance exam and come in.”
Choi Dong-hae nodded at Kang Jin’s words. Kang Jin, who was looking at Choi Dong-hae like that, smiled as if something came to mind and said.
“I’ll tell you a good place to diet.”
“Is it a good place?”
“It’s a cram school in the mountains of Gangwon-do, and it has set times like the military.
“It’s a place where I wake up, eat, and sleep. It’s a 10-minute drive to the nearest town, so it’s hard to even think about distracting things.”
“Is there such a place?”
“That’s where I worked part-time. They give you food there, so you eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner while walking to town and back. Then, you’ll definitely lose weight.”
Choi Dong-hae thought about Kang Jin’s words for a moment and then nodded.
“Okay. After my internship, I’ll definitely go and lose some weight.”
“Then go now.”
“yes?”
“Brother, I have to do business. I’ll go now.”
“Let me help you.”
“Help yourself… …not me.”
As Kang Jin got up from his seat and started moving the dishes to the kitchen, Choi Dong Hae got up.
“I ate well.”
Then Choi Dong-hae took five thousand won out of his wallet, put it in an acrylic container on the counter, and left the store.
Kang Jin nodded as he watched Choi Dong Hae’s back in the kitchen.
“If you don’t change, the world won’t change.”
Kang Jin muttered softly, washed the dishes, and began preparing to welcome the ghost guests who would soon arrive.
* * *
The next morning, Kang Jin was looking at Choi Dong Hae.
“why?”
Kang Jin shook his head at Choi Dong Hae’s words.
“Did you sprinkle powder?”
“Does it smell a lot?”
“No, it’s okay.”
“That’s great. And… “If you start to smell, could you please give me a signal?”
“all right.”
Choi Dong-hae spoke quietly at Kang Jin’s words.
“And please speak comfortably. We decided to do it yesterday, brother and sister.”
Kang Jin shook his head at Choi Dong Hae’s words.
“I live like this at work and like this in private. That will be more comfortable for Donghae.”
“Okay.”
Choi Dong-hae, who was nodding, spoke to Kang Jin.
“And… … I’m sorry about what happened in the group chat before.”
“Group chat?”
“It’s a group chat with my classmates.”
“Ah… … Don’t worry about it. I didn’t really have any intention of becoming close with you. Then let’s get to work.”
As Choi Dong-hae nodded at Kang-jin’s words and began to work, Kang-jin also looked at the documents in front of him.
After the sports event was scheduled, the one with the most work was Gangjin.
All the work done by the export agency team 2 is now gathered in Kangjin. And he double-checks whether the documents match the business summary given by the team members.
I had to check.
If only… … .
“I’ve seen it all. Please pass it on.”
Park Chung-man was looking at the documents spread out on one side with Kang Jin.
At Park Chung-man’s words, Kang Jin handed over the documents and looked at the documents he had been looking at again.
“The numbers here are wrong.”
Kang Jin looked at the documents at Park Chung Man’s words. In the summary materials sent by the team member, the figures in the original documents were incorrectly written.
