Returner’s Magic Laundry

Seyeon, who knew nothing, received the clothes.

“Fighting.”

“Thank you, Annam. I'll call you when I'm done."

“Don’t worry about me, just focus on the audition.”

"Yeah."

Seyeon turned around, took a deep breath and entered the building.

On his way back he came slowly by bus.

By the time he returns to the laundry, it's already dinner time.

‘By now, the audition would have already been over… … .'

I was staring at my phone the whole time.

An hour later, there was no contact.

Behind me was a pile of laundry I had received for the day.

It was thanks to the clothes and blankets they received from the grandmothers at the top of the town.

‘This is not the time to be like this, let’s clean up the laundry.’

Laundry that had been scattered haphazardly was folded up one by one and moved to the second floor.

I looked at the time and it was time to close the laundry.

‘Did it fall off?’

Seeing that Se-yeon hasn't contacted me yet, it seems that the result was not good.

Did he have no effect even with the courage candle?

He tried to call him, but he stopped.

The time has come for him to go to the forest.

Then there was a knock on the door downstairs.

“Mr. Annam, Mr. Annam!”

It was Seyeon's voice.

He went downstairs.

It was dark so I couldn't see her expression well, but it was definitely Seyeon.

He opened the door.

“Seyeon, what are you doing at this hour?”

“Oh, is it too late? Sorry. I'm late for thinking. Would you like a beer if that's okay?"

Seyeon held out a plastic bag with two beers in front of me.

'Well… … Going to the forest should be delayed.’

"Ok. Great place to have a beer.”

I guided Seyeon to the rooftop.

“Wow, there is no garden here either.”

“The older I get, the better the flowers become.”

"Yeah? How old is Annam?”

Oops, I made a mistake.

He knew I was still a 52-year-old middle-aged man.

“Oh no, I think flowers will get better with age. haha."

“Ah yes~”

We grabbed a beer and took a sip.

“Ah, the wind is cool. How can this laundromat not have something you don’t like?”

“Is it possible?”

“I was depressed a while ago, but coming here calms me down.”

"Perhaps… … . Was it bad?”

“Audition?”

Se-yeon raised her head and she looked up at the sky with a daunting expression on her face.

“Today's audition was really great. Wearing the clothes that Annam had washed and entering the audition hall, my heart suddenly stopped trembling, and my unknown self-confidence rose.”

'It seems that the dragon herb has been working properly... … .'

“I think I showed the best acting I have ever done in front of the judges. I just liked the way I looked. It took me a while to regain my self-esteem, thinking that I could do this too.”

But I was very curious about the results.

“Then you got it?”

Seyeon took another sip of the beer.

“No, it fell.”

"Yeah?"

“I came out after auditioning and the director said he was sorry. Just before the audition, an actor who was originally on the casting board contacted me and decided to join us. There's that actor. Choi Jeong-eun. He is an actor who is in full swing in independent films these days.”

“Where is that! It makes no sense!”

“It would be better to use an actor who can perform even a little bit more stably than writing a fresh rookie.”

I drank a beer with a frustrated heart.

Choi Jeong-eun?

It's a name I've heard a lot.

After looking back for a long time in my past life, I remembered it.

An actor who appeared in an independent film, but somehow disappeared after playing only the role of the main character's friend in the drama.

“Don’t get excited. I'm fine."

"Really? How can you be okay? I'm in a rage right now!"

“Why is Annam angry at my work?”

It was a little disappointing to see Se-yeon draw the line that it was her job.

"However… … The director said the acting was very good. He said that if Choi Jeong-eun hadn't contacted me, he would have chosen me. It’s the first time I’ve ever heard of such a thing.”

“Wow, that’s great.”

“Next time, I think I will be able to do well without really trembling. And… … .”

"And?"

It was clear that there were other stories besides that.

I swallowed dry saliva.

“One of the judges gave me a business card saying I wanted to be cast in his movie. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I liked Shin Se-yeon so much that I rolled his feet and pulled out one of his business cards and kissed him.

"what. So, have you been cast?”

“Yes, I was cast in another director’s work.”

“Hey, look at your business card.”

When I looked at the business card, the name Bong Tae-jin was written on it.

'uh? What about director Bong Tae-jin?’

In 2020, Lee will rise to the position of top director in the Korean film industry.

'Let's stay still. What movie were you doing around this time?’

"Oh right! Dog of Atlas!”

Director Bong Tae-jin made his debut with 'A Dog of Atlas' in 2000.

Of course, you get a very good response.

"uh? How does Annam know about the work? This time, the director said it was his first feature film.”

“Oh, I think I heard it somewhere. My friends also do movies.”

“Is your friend doing a movie?”

“Yes, I was going to introduce you to Seyeon, but the casting has already been completed.”

“Don’t do that. It has to be my skill. I didn’t want to be introduced to anyone.”

After all, I wasn't the one to hear that Go Gun-soo introduced me.

“It’s a minor role, but I really like it.”

In a film directed by Bong Tae-jin, even a small minor role should be played.

I wanted to let him know how great a director he is, but he was patient.

“I think it went really well. The director could be famous later.”

"Yes, Thanks."

let's stay still

But have you ever seen an actress named Shin Se-yeon in your past life?

While I was shooting a few movies, I knew everything about actors from minor roles to leading roles.

However, no matter how much I turned my head, I could not find the name Shin Se-yeon in my memory.

‘How did it happen?’

Shin Se-yeon was enjoying this feeling while drinking beer.

‘Yeah, let’s not ruin this feeling. What is important next?’

After chatting for two hours over a can of beer, they sold out.

Seyeon was also not good at drinking, so she went back a little drunk.

‘I drank alcohol today as well as yesterday. I'll have a glass of water and go to the forest.'

After drinking ‘miracle water’ from the refrigerator, I headed to the forest with a beautiful load of laundry.

There was also a blanket laundry service today, so there was a lot of laundry.

When I arrived at the forest, Ariel ran around and greeted me.

I don't know if I'm happy or angry.

[It's late. Why… … Late!]

“Oh, sorry sorry. I had some work today.”

[Ariel… … Be patient. can't stand it Be patient. I can't stand it.]

“Please be patient. Otherwise, I will leave.”

[…] … Be patient.]

"Thanks."

I went to a place with a CD player and started playing music.

‘Today is Mozart.’

When the music was turned on, the forest grew louder with a creaking, squeaking, and chirping sound.

I had to grow the forest little by little every day.

It seemed that the mold forest would decrease and the world would be filled with forests like this.

[The forest grows bigger. The forest grows.]

As Ariel circled the forest, she ran wild with excitement.

The forest is now considerably larger than expected.

When she first came, it had grown so large that it would take 20 minutes now to go around the forest in less than five minutes.

The small creek grew bigger and bigger, and she started making small streams here and there.

“So good?”

When I saw the two additional coffee trees planted yesterday, they were still very large.

‘It’s amazing, too.’

However, the area of ​​the forest where coffee trees were planted was wider.

When I saw it, an idea came to my mind.

It is said that if you plant something, the forest there will be wider than anywhere else.

‘Next time we come, let’s bring more things to plant here.’

With that thought in mind, I took the laundry to the creek.

The creek was also wider, but it was a little narrow for washing blankets.

But, how did I finally wash all the blankets?

After that, the clothesline is not enough this time.

[I do it. I do it.]

"Really? how?"

Ariel went to a tree in the middle of the forest and she seemed to be muttering something.

Then she came back to me.

[a little… … waiting.]

"Huh."

The two of us looked at the large tree, and suddenly the tree shook its body once.

Then the wind began to blow, and the laundry soaked in the creek began to float in the air.

[I remember. I remember.]

“Wow, that’s amazing.”

The laundry stopped in the air and began to flutter, surrounded by light and wind.

It swelled up quickly and was seen dry and dry.

There was no need for a clothesline.

I lost my mind for a while and looked at it, and then I came back to Ariel's voice.

[Coffee, coffee.]

“Oh, it’s time to harvest the coffee.”

Distributing a cup of coffee to her guests, it consumed a lot.

There was also an increase in the number of customers leaving the laundry thanks to coffee.

The coffee harvest was also easy thanks to Ariel's help.

“Ariel, you did a good job.”

[tired… … tired… … .]

As if tired, Ariel was hanging from a branch like a deflated balloon.

“Get some rest.”

When she harvested the beans, she noticed that she came out in two bags weighing 10 kg.

When she was done, she said Ariel was asleep, so she said quietly and she came out of the woods.

"See you tomorrow."

* * *

She started her day with a cup of coffee.

When she greeted the other store owners who opened the door aloud, the bosses also greeted them loudly.

The first appearances I had seen face-to-face were gone.

Then a schoolgirl was seen dragging her middle-aged wife downstairs.(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

“Hey bitch, this is what I did yesterday. Why are you taking this to the laundromat?”

The female student who did the laundry was Kim Jin-ah.

The middle-aged wife who is dragged behind him is her mother, who at that time slapped Kim Jin-ah on the back.

‘What’s going on?’

“Because I have to wash it all again.”

“Why is this year like this today? I leave it to the clean laundry!”

“Mother, listen to me. This is the cleanest place.”

“A bitch who hasn’t washed a single sock in her entire life suddenly goes to the laundry.”

‘Aigoo Duya.’

Knowing what was going on, she patted her forehead.

“Uncle, I’m here to drop off our laundry. Mom agreed.”

A middle-aged wife slapped Jin-ah Kim on the back.

“Hey, Mom, fix that hand habit!”

“Why is he doing what he didn’t do?”

"Good morning."

When I said hello, Jin-ah Kim's mother made a displeased expression.

“I don’t know anywhere else, but I can’t leave it here. I mean, I ruined all of my favorite clothes last time.”

“I was sorry then.”

“Your mother saw my uniform, too. Even though it has been repaired, nothing is visible and it is as clean as new.”

"That… … That’s it though.”

“I’ll just leave it to you one more time.”

“Jin-ah, I’m fine. You can’t force it.”

“No, I won’t wear anything if you don’t leave it here.”

I'm still young, so I'm not immature.

“He was a quiet kid, but why is he like this these days?”

she was hot

‘The effect of red salt vinegar must have already disappeared… … .'

Kim Jin-ah cradled her laundry in my arms.

“Uncle, I kept my promise.”

“No, it doesn’t have to be like this.”

she was upset

Jin-ah is watching her mother's eyes.

“Oh, yes, what. He wants to leave it here, so let's give it a try. What."

Jina Kim hugged her mother tightly.

“King, thank you, Mom.”

“You have to be nice to me instead.”

“Yes, I will clean it.”

“Uncle, please.”

Jina Kim winked and ran to school.

“Why is he like that these days? I was worried because I didn't bring a friend to her house, so was it nothing to worry about?”

Jin-ah Kim's mother muttered to herself, and she returned with a light greeting.

It was fortunate that now, even without borrowing the efficacy of red salt vinegar, it seems to be living brightly.

Then I got a call from Kim Sang-il.

“No, it’s me. business.”
