028 My House (2)

“It’s been a while, how have you been?”

I was waiting for Jisung hyung at the cafe.

When I turned around at the sound I heard behind my back, there was Jisung, who was charred.

“It’s been a long time, brother. But why did you ride like this?”

When I asked, Ji-sung smiled softly and talked about what had happened. Since he quit the former hagwon, he has been helping a friend who runs a publishing business.

And whenever he had free time, he was traveling domestically with his family, so there was no time for his skin to become white.

I drank coffee and listened to his story.

“I felt so sorry for the children and their mothers during that time, but I’m glad. And since she works as a publishing company, it’s okay.”

He seems to be satisfied with his current job. Still, there are minor difficulties because he is quitting what he has been doing for 15 years, but he smiles deeply, saying that what he is doing now is worthwhile.

“Are you really going to be independent? Did you quit the academy you were at before?”

After he had finished telling his own story, he asked me with a questioning look.

"Yes. The academy I went to before and this academy were all the same. If that’s the case, I think it would be better to be independent even if you suffer a little bit.”

When I answered, he gave me a look that seemed to understand even if he didn't say anything.

In fact, Jisung hyung has only been on this floor for 15 years, so you can probably guess what I didn't say without difficulty.

"okay? How are all people's lives the same? So, as I said last time, did you stick with the rental of the classroom?”

“What about ‘for once’?”

At his words, I nodded.

Rent of school classrooms.

since the early 2000's. A heterogeneous type of business that began to appear as competition between academies intensified due to a decline in the fertility rate, mass production of highly educated people, and a decline in corporate employment rates.

Just as neighborhood marts and supermarkets decrease and convenience stores increase due to weakening competitiveness, small and medium-sized private academies, excluding franchises of large academies and famous academies, suffered difficulties due to a sharp drop in the number of students.

“I guess. It was difficult to start working from the beginning.”

When I said that, Ji-Sung hyung also made an expression of agreement.

“I thought well. In fact, this floor is also oversaturated, so if you jump in without any preparation, you will just be destroyed. First of all, no matter how big or small, a business is a business.”

At his words, I nodded. Because what Jisung hyung is saying is also the reason why I chose this method.

"However······."

Jisung, who was speaking his words, paused for a moment. As I stared curiously, he scratched his chin and opened his mouth.

“You need to register as an instructor first. I know?"

His words were full of concern. But I just laugh a little.

Because he seemed to know what he was worried about.

Perhaps he thought I didn't know about instructor registration.

In fact, many people are unaware of the fact that they need to register as instructors even though they know about renting a private academy.Even if he knew it, it was common to just skip it, so it was not unreasonable for him to think so.

“Are you planning to do it without registering? Well, there are a lot of cases like that, but if you think about it later, it's not a very good idea..."

He spoke with a worried face.

As can be seen from his words, it was not uncommon for him to start by signing a simple lease contract when he rented a private academy.

From the point of view of the director, he does not want to worry about the instructors who run the academies separately from him, even registering them with his academy.

This is a phenomenon that occurs because it is difficult for instructors to belong to other academies.

However, as it was done within the academy, all educational activities conducted without registering as instructors were illegal.

Most of the time, I mistakenly think I won't get caught and skip it, but I don't know.

'If an acquaintance who was blinded by the report reward of 500,000 won betrays him...'

Therefore, it is a must for anyone who does not want to close a well-developed business overnight.

I shook my head and opened my mouth.

“No, of course you have to register. If you don't register and go wrong, you have to live with your brother's house without fail, is that possible?"

When I say it playfully, he slurps and laughs.

“As long as you can cover my son well, I don’t care… Well, anyway, the story seems to be over, so let’s get up soon, shall we? I've contacted you in advance, so you'll have to go see the director and decide."

After he had finished speaking, he said to me with a look of hurrying up.

I poured the rest of the coffee into my mouth and nodded.

Yes, I still have a long way to go, so I don't have time to rest like this. You must move quickly.

I got up from my seat and grabbed the coat I had taken off.

“Let’s go.”

* * *

and currently.

“Oh, sir. Wasn't I the only one listening?"

“What am I going to say?”

In front of me are Kim Yuna and Park Soo-han, who are fighting each other.

Looking at them reminded me of what had just happened.

The academy that I rented from Ji Sung-hyung's introduction.

A shopping mall surrounded by old apartments. It was an academy that occupied the entire second floor of the shopping mall.

For me, I was thinking of a local tutoring school that was in decline, but I was a little skeptical at first because it was surprisingly large and neat.

There was no reason for the number of students to be small if the academy was managed to this extent, and then there was no need to rent classrooms.

But why rent?

The question was immediately resolved.

‘Are there ten people here? It's probably all direct from the director. All the kids live nearby, so they don’t even drive their cars?’

When Ji Sung hyung heard the number of remaining students, the unsolved question turned into another one.

‘Are there any maintenance fees?’

Because it was so large that it was impossible to make a profit with the number of students. By the way, since there are about ten students, is it worth the monthly administration fee?

When I asked if the number of students was too small for the size of the academy or the level of management, he smiled embarrassedly and opened his mouth.

'Actually, the director here is my uncle. When my uncle was young, he was famous in this area. When I was young, I learned here too. But now that you're a little older, I guess you want to take it easy. I have some with the kids.’

He scratched his face and continued.

'And, after a sneak peek, the children I have now are all the children of the students I taught in the past. Originally, I was going to retire, but when old students asked me to do it, they seemed to think it was just a pastime.’

But even after listening to him, I still didn't understand.

No, then he is doing what he wants, even at his loss.

But as if he had read my expression, Jisung hyung slowly added more words.

‘Well, after all, this building is your uncle’s building. It would be possible.’

“·················ogue.”

Oh, I got it.

The owner of the building over the creator.

It wasn't a building in a huge place like the middle of Gangnam, but it's still a shopping mall in a place with a lot of floating population.

The cost of maintaining an academy like this is enough just to receive the rent of the shopping malls on the first floor.

So, the amount of rent I receive will be just about the cost of managing the academy.

If it hadn't been for Jisung-nim's request, he probably wouldn't have even thought of giving out a lease.

Anyway, as a result, two students are sitting in front of me chatting.

“Then why are you so mean? Am I older than you?”

“Heng, what is your brother? Ugh, ugh.”

They growl like dogs and cats.

“Oh sir! Why doesn't the school year match, why do you and I listen together?"

Park Soo-han, who is going to be a sophomore this year, said with an expression that he did not understand. Then, Kim Yuna, who is now a first-timer in preparatory high school, nodded her head with an expression of sympathy.

I opened my mouth slowly, looking at their dissatisfied faces.

“So you don’t want to hear it?”

Then they both shook their heads.

“Otherwise, just do it. After all, it's still just the two of you, so what else do you want to share?"

Then the guys look at each other and look dissatisfied.

I looked at them and smiled softly.

In fact, there was a reason.

In the case of the Korean language area, if the grades of these guys are about the same, the content they learn is not that much different.I just didn't say it because he's a guy who lives on one bluff, and there's no need to trample it on purpose.

Park Park.

Yuna Kim has been following me since the days of the pre-war academy and the 20th Corps commander, so even though I contacted her and brought her along, it was a bit surprising that even Park Soo-han followed me.

Of course, it was surprisingly uncommon for students to follow the instructors when they changed schools, but in most cases, they had been working with the instructors for a long time.

A relationship to the extent that they know more about students' personalities and teaching styles than their parents.

It was common for students to follow the instructor and move from one institute to another, only if there was such a relationship.

However, the period between him and I face to face was at most three months. It was an ambiguous period to trust and entrust everything to the instructor.

Still, he had left the safe large academy and followed me.

He was quirky, but he didn't have to show it. After all, being a lecturer, he is accustomed to not revealing what he feels.

He leaned his back against the white chalkboard, looked at the students, and opened his mouth.

“Now, let’s start class. First, the phonology…”

Then the boys' eyes turned bright.

After class, I had dinner with the students.

When you are cleaning the classroom and picking out the class materials for tomorrow,

Kakao Talk-

Eunsol's KakaoTalk has arrived.

[Mr. Junyoung Kim. Hello. Good afternoon. I heard that you have started a study room this time. Is it okay if I visit again later?]

[Unless it is rude of course. Housewarming... ๑´‸`๑)]

Looking at her KakaoTalk, a sophisticated emoticon caught my eye first than the last time.

Still, it looked like he had made progress in the meantime. Of course, the contents of KakaoTalk that did not escape the written language were still there.

Come to think of it, I dropped out of school and lost my mind. I read Eunsol's KakaoTalk and couldn't reply.

With a little bit of regret, I pressed the keypad and left.

'sure. I was going to ask you to come again, but it's too late to contact you. Come eat later.’

sent kakaotalk Then, as soon as I saw it, I got a call.

[really? Wow, when are you okay? (*´∀｀*)]

I quickly wrote down a reply.

‘Well, you must be busy during the week, so how about the weekend? At that time, I think Jisung-nim would be all right?’

sent kakaotalk

Kakao Talk-

It took a while for this reply to arrive.

[Yes, it's nice to see you all together. Well, see you then haha]
