It rained for three days and showed no signs of stopping.
– manager. This is Kim Cheol-soo.
– uh! Assistant Manager Kim. What happened?
– I can’t start work after working for 2 hours. It keeps raining.
Ahn Jeong-gyu clicked his tongue at Kim Cheol-soo’s words.
– And the damn weather.
– If the shipment is delayed by about 4 days like this, we will have to bear all the damages.
– The weather wasn’t always like that there, right?
– It appears to be an abnormal weather phenomenon. First of all, I think we need to notify the buyer of the situation. I think it would be a good idea to take the weather into consideration when signing a contract in the future.
– okay. Deputy Director Pyo is going to work tomorrow, so I’ll tell him to take care of related work.
– yes. manager.
– hey! Assistant Manager Kim.
– Yes, team leader!
– Do something to keep it from raining!
At Ahn Jung-gyu’s words, Kim Cheol-soo burst out laughing.
There was no way for humans to control natural phenomena.
– manager! It’s a joke too!
– That’s because it’s frustrating! What do you mean by minus since the beginning of the year? okay. If there is anything special, please keep reporting it and come back without getting hurt.
– yes! manager.
Kim Cheol-soo was equally frustrated as work could not start due to the rain.
It’s not like I can leisurely travel around the Odessa area.
Also, having to watch raindrops fall all day in a hotel room.
As Kim Cheol-soo was organizing his bag, he quietly played with the CD that Javiya had given him at the hospital.
– Knock knock.
Kim Cheol-soo put the items he had taken out back into his bag.
“who?”
“It’s Mark.”
Mark, who I had become friends with because of what happened at the hospital, came into the hotel room.
He took off his raincoat, shook the rain off his body, and spoke to Kim Cheol-soo with a stern expression.
“She’s gone.”
“huh?”
Cheolsu Kim made an absurd expression at Mark’s words.
“Zavia disappeared from the hospital last night. That’s always the case with gypsies. It may be natural for them to not get along with people because they haven’t received formal education.”
“……”
Kim Cheol-soo recalled the day he met her at the hospital.
While singing to each other in a private hospital room, we got so excited that we ended up busking in the hospital lobby.
People’s reactions were explosive, and she sang with more and more confidence.
The energy radiating from that small body fascinated everyone who heard it.
So much so that even the hospital staff who came to stop busking stopped.
I thought everything was going well.
I had forgotten she was a gypsy.
Kim Cheol-soo sighed briefly, and Mark also sighed briefly and said.
“I thought she would become a great singer if she kept singing. Now that she’s disappeared in this rain, I’m worried.”
While busking, Marc borrowed a violin from somewhere and joined us.
I didn’t find out it was true until later, but Marc majored in violin.
“Kim, why don’t you sing and take other people’s money to work? Aren’t you just as good as her?”
At those words, Kim Cheol-soo relaxed his stern expression.
“I have a place to climb.”
Mark looked at Kim Cheol-soo for a moment and then sighed briefly.
“You and Zabiya are both difficult people to understand. And all that’s left is the bill. I paid the bill first.”
Marc handed the receipt to Cheolsu Kim.
Kim Cheol-soo chuckled when he saw the amount written there.
I thought it would be expensive because it was a private hospital room, but it only cost about the same price as a pocket watch.
**
next day.
I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but the dark clouds that had poured down the rain also disappeared along with Javiya.
The sky of Odessa, which surrounds the Black Sea, was only clear, and work quickly resumed.
Also, because we did not know when the weather might suddenly turn bad, the work was carried out 24 hours a day, and we were eventually able to set sail within the promised date.
After emailing the final report signed by the cargo supervisor, appraiser, captain, and Kim Cheol-soo, Cheol-soo Kim contacted the company.
– Yes, team leader. We will disinfect the cargo hold today and set sail tomorrow evening.
– I’m glad. Assistant Manager Kim, you worked hard.
– no. manager. Is Deputy Ticket ok?
– okay. What has changed is that I have an extra foot. by the way!
Since he injured his leg and had to walk around with crutches, he seemed to have used the expression that he had an extra foot.
And Kim Cheol-soo felt nervous for a moment due to Ahn Jeong-gyu’s unique speaking habits.
– How did you stop the rain?
– ha ha ha. How do I know? Perhaps, a capable shaman could have stopped it.
-What bullshit. come back quickly. Before I go crazy!

– ha ha ha. all right.
– okay. Don’t forget to bring any original documents.
– yes. manager.
Kim Cheol-soo hung up the phone and looked at the C.Opal.
On the dock, which was lowered and full of cargo, people dressed in white chemical and biological warfare uniforms that looked like something out of a movie were spraying disinfectant into the cargo hold.
The drug was so strong that all the crew members on the ship were quarantined in a hotel.
“We have to go now.”
At Mark’s words, Kim Cheol-su turned and got into the car.
After passing the Odessa grain docks, the car that had been running slowly began to speed up.
I had to drive another 8 hours to reach Kiev.
Kim Cheol-soo stopped on the bridge due to traffic jam and looked out the window at the beach in Odessa.
Then I looked at the place where a lot of people were gathered.
It was too far away to determine the exact situation, but looking at the fan-shaped surroundings around one person, it seemed like someone was performing alone there.
Mark also followed Kim Cheol-soo’s gaze and looked at a place.
“It’s a common sight in Odessa. It’s the tourists who feed the poor Ukrainian artists.”
“okay?”
“Yes. If Zabiya had sung, people would have flocked like that.”
Cheolsu Kim also nodded as if he agreed with Mark’s words.
“More people must have flocked in, right?”
Mark smiled cheerfully and nodded at those words.
“If I hear any news from Zaviah, I’ll send it to you by email.”
“Ok, thanks.”
“It was quite a fun time this time. Kim and Zabiyara. Hahaha. I’d like to hear you two sing together someday. I really enjoyed that day.”
“It might have been better if the violin didn’t make strange sounds!”
At those words, Mark looked at Kim Cheol-soo as if it were absurd and then burst out laughing.
“Hey! That can happen if you touch an instrument you haven’t touched in 20 years!”
**
2AM.
Kim Cheol-soo, who arrived at Sillim-dong’s house, looked at Yeong-su who was asleep, sat down in front of the computer, and inserted the CD that Javiya had given him.
A file list appeared in the navigation window, and Kim Cheol-soo’s bloodshot eyes turned round as he double-clicked and looked at it.
I’ll tell you when I come on Friday
Choi Hye-na looked through the daily sales ledger.
‘The fluctuation range is enormous depending on whether Cheolsu is present or not.’
Since the business was not intended to last only a day or two, it was impossible to deceive the customers.
When Kim Cheol-soo posted a notice saying that he would not be able to come out this week due to personal reasons, the number of female customers decreased noticeably.
On Fridays and Saturdays, there was a line to get into the cafe at 9 o’clock, but this time there was no such thing and sales dropped significantly.
Even on weekdays, there was a small surplus, and it was highly unlikely that there would be a deficit.
If you were to rent such a large building and open a store, you would have no choice but to incur a loss because of the enormous rent, but fortunately, both the land and the building were owned by Choi Hye-na.
This is also a building built without a single penny of debt.
Choi Hye-na, who carefully looked at the sales trends for different days of the week, picked up her cell phone and called Kim Cheol-soo.
I tried to ask him if he won the bet and if he could come out this week, but there was no signal.
There was no way the salesperson had turned off his cell phone; he was probably on an airplane.
‘You must be returning to Korea, right?’
Choi Hye-na glanced at the calendar.
‘First of all, I won. ‘What wish should I make?’
Choi Hye-na, who was looking at the busy staff before the start of business, smiled with happy concern.
“president.”
“huh?”
One of the employees said, pointing towards the door.
“A guest has arrived.”
When I looked back, I saw Youngjun Choi looking around in front of the door.
“Okay. Take care of your work.”
Choi Hye-na got up and greeted Choi Young-jun warmly.
“It’s been a while, brother. Why didn’t you call me?”
Choi Young-jun said while looking at Choi Hye-na, whose expression was very bright unlike usual.
“I was going to check on my younger brother and see how he is doing, but I even called him. But his expression is bright? Is something good happening?”
“Yes. There is something worth doing.”
The two headed to the VIP room where they could talk quietly.
“I’m curious?”
To Choi Young-jun’s words, which seemed like they would be fun, Choi Hye-na said with an expression that it was nothing special.
“I think that idiot I mentioned before has changed a bit.”
“Aha! The one who was so frustrated that he tried to attack me?”
“Oh! You remember our conversation too? I wasn’t expecting it since you seem to be quite busy these days.”
“Of course.”
As he said that, Youngjun Choi smiled lightly.
‘Does it seem that Assistant Manager Kim Cheol-soo also had feelings for Hye-na? ‘She’s worried about what will happen to Hye-na if she finds out she’s her father’s daughter.
It was rare for a relationship to lead to marriage, and Choi Young-jun knew nothing about Hye-na and Cheol-su’s views on marriage.
“I thought you only cared about your big sister and nephews. Have you seen it again?”
“What? I’ve always been like that. So, if I date that guy, what, I’m going to get married?”
Choi Hye-na shook her head as if it was absurd to hear Choi Young-jun’s words.
“What? We weren’t even dating, so what kind of marriage? Well… wasn’t my step-sister like that?”
Youngjun Choi nodded his head lightly as if acknowledging it.
And then he thought of Seo Jin-hee, who is now his wife.
The first time we met was when I happened to be with a woman who was drinking like she was going to die after being dumped by a man.
Choi Young-jun drank because of his boring life, and she drank to die, but in the end, it was Choi Young-jun who was taken to the hospital and suffered to die.
drunkard!
Starting from that, they were strange drinking friends, not dating or dating, for about two months, and then Choi Young-jun confessed to her while drunk, and she accepted.
“My step-sister is really amazing too. I don’t know what she was thinking when she married her older brother who is always drunk and living a messy life.”
Choi Youngjun chuckled at those words.
After marriage, both of them refrained from drinking to the extent that they could be said to have completely quit.
So, no one in the family knew that his wife was a huge drunkard.
“That’s what you call fate. We were destined to meet that way. In the end, it was a happy marriage, right?”
As Choi Young-jun smiled while thinking of his family, Choi Hye-na shook her head.
“My brother is a secret romanticist despite his appearance.”
“It seems like my younger brother doesn’t know what’s going on, but he’s always been a romanticist.”
“Poout!”
Choi Hye-na laughed lightly as if it was absurd and continued.
“Would you like a drink?”
“No. I have to go to work.”
“Really? You’ve been working really hard these days.”
“Okay. At first, I didn’t know anything so I spent my time not knowing what I was doing, but these days, I can see things quite clearly. It’s fun to do things.”
“Wow! Are you my youngest brother? He looks different day by day, right?”
Choi Hye-na clapped her hands.
Youngjun Choi chuckled and then opened his mouth.
“So, you’re on my side?”
“What?”
“The fight for management rights.”
“Hahaha. I’m not interested, but I hope my brother wins.”
“Are you going to help me?”
“How much stock do I have?”
“Even if it’s not necessarily a stake.”
Hearing Choi Young-jun’s words, Choi Hye-na thought of her rude older brothers who treated her as if she were nobody.
“Just tell me. If you fight, I will support you unconditionally.”
“I feel reassured. Then I have to go now. Have a good relationship.”
Choi Hye-na thought as she saw Choi Young-jun off.
‘You’ll freak out if you find out who I have feelings for.’
