Cheat day

Originally Precious (5)

“Huh?”

Startled, Kim Yu-jung looked back and forth between her boss and Baek Woo-jin.

“How?”

“You said you were working here. I told the boss I wanted to be pampered today.”

Baek Woo-jin said clearly while looking at Kim Yu-jung. As he used the sign language he had practiced hard over the past week, her doubts grew even larger.

“Did you learn sign language?”

“Yeah. I can’t do it well, though.”

Tears welled up in Kim Yu-jung’s eyes.

She had asked him to add subtitles to the videos because he was looking for a “manitto,” and she had never imagined he would come in person after subtitles were added to “White Rice Discussion.”

She wiped her tears with the tissues her boss had handed her.

Baek Woo-jin smiled and asked, “Today, I’m your guardian angel. Do you have a wish?”

Kim Yu-jung shook her head.

“Why not? I came all the way here!”

“Nails. I’ll take good care of them.”

“That’s obvious. I’m a paying customer, after all. But is it okay if you upload the footage to YouTube?”

Kim Yu-jung nodded eagerly.

“Really? I filmed from the subway station!”

When Kim Yu-jung simply stared at him with wide eyes and didn’t respond, Baek Woo-jin used sign language again.

“What?”

“You remember how Hyun-kyung asked for directions at the subway station?”

Kim Yu-jung once again covered her mouth with both hands.

“I really didn’t recognize him.”

The fact that she didn’t recognize Ban-chan-yong, who was classified as a celebrity and was busy doing commercials, amused Baek Woo-jin.

“It wasn’t me… huh?”

“You were in disguise. So, you didn’t recognize me at the café either?”

Kim Yu-jung nodded.

“It was Ji-hye. Lee Ji-hye.”

Kim Yu-jung briefly rolled her eyes before opening her mouth wide. Upon thinking it over, she realized she had seen the face of PD Lee Ji-hye.

“I thought it was strange because I was meeting someone using sign language so often.”

“You just said the customer was a regular. They also said they were grateful for your detailed care.”

Kim Yu-jung couldn’t respond.

“Today is totally a day for you.”

Is that really enough?

In the video, Baek Woo-jin asked.

Kim Yu-jung nodded while wearing the Berry Watch 6 he had gifted her.

There are times when I can’t catch phone calls well, but if I wear it on my wrist, I can feel the vibrations right away.

Ah.

Baek Woo-jin exclaimed, indicating he understood.

Thank you.

Why are you crying again?

Baek Woo-jin comforted Kim Yu-jung before asking.

You work at a nail art shop, right? Is there a moment when you feel fulfilled while working?

I mainly do care, and I like it when my customers smile.

What about when it’s tough?

Since I work in a service industry, communication is really important. I worry that I might not understand what my customers want.

I see.

So, I’m also undergoing auditory training. I’m working on my pronunciation too.

After work?

Yeah.

That’s really impressive. It’s not easy to learn something new while working.

Kim Yu-jung smiled.

So, what do you do when you take a break?

I watch Woo-jinias.

Oh. That sounds like a lie.

It’s not a lie! Really!

Hehehe. Really? What’s the most interesting thing you’ve watched?

The reasons why Eastern and Western cultures or lifestyles are different.

Ah! I found it really interesting while studying it too.

It was a video I edited. It discussed how rice farming requires more labor, leading to a larger population in those areas compared to regions where wheat is the staple, which resulted in a culture that values community more.

I like learning things I didn’t know. Please upload more videos.

I’m struggling right now. I’m still editing.

Kim Yu-jung laughed, then lowered her head.

There must be many other applicants besides me. Thank you for coming.

Of course! There were so many applicants.

Because of me, you added subtitles too. I feel like I’ve been a bother…

Not at all! Ji-hye is the one doing it.

The camera focused on the face of PD Lee Ji-hye, who looked incredulous.

There are many people who watch with the sound off and only read the subtitles. Even if you were the only one, I would still continue to add them.

In the edited video, Kim Yu-jung’s previous comments on Woo-jinias were visible.

You might think it’s nothing, but I was really happy to see your comment. It means a lot to me.

Kim Yu-jung finally burst into tears.

Living alone in a different city without friends while working, it seemed that “Woo-jinias” was truly precious to her.

And now, Baek Woo-jin had prepared an event to thank her, bringing forth all her past sorrows and loneliness, along with joy.

└ Tunakimbab: I felt like I was dreaming all day. I’ve been trying hard, but I was feeling gloomy about whether I could continue this job, so hearing that it’s precious to you made me cry like a fool. Thank you so much, Baek Woo-jin, PD Lee Ji-hye, and Ban-chan-yong!

└ That’s so cool.

└ I really admire people who are developing themselves while working.

└ I think they also take care of nails and skin.

└ Since I touch hands, I end up not going to places that don’t fit well. Yu-jung, you seem warm, so I think you’ll do well!

└ Baek Woo-jin and Ban-chan-yong are on another level.

└ Public manitto

└ Ah, but I’m glad to see that you really like it.

└ He’s a good boss. Baek Woo-jin helped a lot.

└ I think it’s because he’s been working diligently. If he works that hard, I would help too.

└ That’s not something that should be taken for granted. Good boss and good employee.

└ For real.

└ So, was it because of this person that subtitles were added to “White Rice Discussion”?

└ Ban-chan-yong looking embarrassed because he didn’t recognize her is so cuteㅋㅋㅋ

└ Chan-yong, let’s not leave comments like this from a secondary account.

As I looked through the comments, I felt a sense of pride.

Baek Woo-jin had come up with a great idea.

“Woo-jinias is getting a good reaction.”
