I was surprised to hear that Hwang Mi-na had a lover.
If she had a boyfriend, she would have dressed up and put on makeup, but Hwang Mi-na had nothing like that at all. He was like a straight-up servant.
She was always a woman who was fat with horn-rimmed glasses and a cold, hot, or red scarf like a trademark, a woman who was never normal.
If she had lost some weight, she could still hear the sound of beauty, but she was a woman without any pretense.
Still, Hwang Mi-na was a woman who was easy-going but had a considerable intellectual style and an artist-like atmosphere.
Anyway, it's something to celebrate that you have a lover, and I wondered who that lover was.
I asked Eunyeong via Kakaotalk.
[What's Hwang Mi-na's girlfriend like?]
[He's a musician.]
[Music? Is he at the station?]
[Freelance composer.]
[Composed?]
[I don't know the details either. Ask Mihyang in detail when she has a housewarming party.]
It's Saturday.
I didn't go to work, so I fooled around at home during the day.
Mom thought I was resting at home, so she made me kalguksu with dumplings.
I was eating kalguksu for breakfast and lunch, and I got a message from lawyer Yoon.
Today is the day of the housewarming so he sent me his apartment Dong lake. It was an apartment called Raemian Celitus in Ichon-dong in the east.
"Mom, I come home late this evening.”
"Where are you going?"
"Someone who knows should go to the housewarming party.”
"It's Christmas today, aren't you going to meet Eunyeong?”
"Come with me, Eun-young.“
"Really? You must know him, too, don't you?"
"I know him. It's a newly married couple, and I knew Eun-young through the woman there."
"Are you a fellow at the station?"
"No. I'm an international lawyer."
"International lawyer? How do you know such a person?”
"It's the girl we went to high school together for a year when we lived in Geumcheon-gu. He immigrated to the U.S. after attending only the first grade of high school in Korea.”
"Oh, really? You can also meet Jun-hee, who went to America, when she comes back."
"Jun-hee, you're such a badass..."
"Jun-hee does that to her family and not to go out. By the way, where is the housewarming?"
"It's Raemian apartment in Ichon-dong, east."
"East Ichon-dong? That's where the rich live. When we lived in Doksan-dong, Geumcheon-gu, the director of the hospital lived there?"
"You're a lawyer, so you'll make a lot of money."
"Oh, your husband's a lawyer, too. They're great people.”
I finished eating kalguksu and drank coffee, and my mom asked me, peeling an apple.
"When is Eun-young's house going to hold the ceremony?" During the meeting, Eunyeong told me to do it right after Lunar New Year."
"Not yet."
"Your dad said it would be nice to do it in February after Ipchun since the end of January is Lunar New Year."
"What day of February?”
"The moon is set by the groom, but the date is set by the woman.”
"Can't anyone decide?"
"No, the date should be on the women's side. There's even a moon.”
"Well, is that so?"
"When you have a housewarming party, buy some tissue or high-tie when you go. We used to bring matches when we were kids..."
"Heh, what matches?"
"It means that the house must rise like fire."
"That's what you meant."
I drove to KBS after 3:30 p.m.
Previously, I waited in front of the Liberation Hall next to KBS, but today, Eunyeong came out in advance and was waiting with a mask on.
He wore a beige coat all the time and wore a collar.
I pulled the car in front of Eunyeong.
At first, Unyeong didn't know it was my car and pulled her neck out and looked at her, but raised her right hand to shake her.
"Get in there!"
Unyeong took off her mask as she got in the car. My face looked a little red, perhaps because of the cold.
"Have you been waiting a long time?”
"About ten minutes?"
"Why didn't you call me to come quickly?"
"I didn't do it because I thought you'd answer the phone while driving."
"But isn't 4:30 going too early now? It won't even take half an hour if it's east Ichon-dong from here.”
"You said it was the Remian Celitus apartment in Ichon-dong, eastern part of the country, right?"
"That's right. But what does Chelythus mean?"
"I don't know.”
"I hear your parents-in-law's making it so difficult to name your apartment these days to keep you from finding your home?"
"No way!"
Then Eun-yeong laughed and hit me in the arm.
I didn't know that the Latin word "Cellitus" means "from heaven, from heaven."
The side of Eunyeong sitting next to me was as beautiful as a picture.
"Why aren't you going?"
"You can just look at her."
Unyeong laughed and punched me in the arm again.
"Let's go to the department store and buy some clothes. I'll buy you a coat. The coat you're wearing now looks cold."
"No. This suit is good enough for now."
"Follow me!"
I put the starting gear into the car. And came out onto the riverside road.
"Where are you going?"
"Department store."
"There's a department store in Yeouido, right?"”
"Let's go to the Galleria in Apgujeong-dong. I can get there in no time because I'll just drop off on the riverside!"
I pulled over to EAST, where Galleria Department Store's Luxury Hall is located.
Galleria Department Store in Apgujeong-dong had Dongguan and Seogwan. I have seen on the Internet that a luxury coat shop is located in the East Wing.
I dragged Eun-young to Tom Brown's store on the fourth floor.
Unyeong hesitated on her way in.
"Oppa, this is the Luxury Hall. It's expensive."
"It's all right, come in."
I forced Unyeong's hand into the store.
The clerk recognized my coat at a glance.
"You have a nice coat."
He seemed to think I was a rich, high-class gold spoon.
"Please pick a coat for this woman."
The clerk said, looking at the coat worn by Unyeong.
"You're a beautiful woman. It's a good idea for a beautiful woman to wear something that suits her."
Unyeong touched the black trench coat. He seemed to like it.
said the clerk.
"You have an eye, too. Black and your white skin will go well together. Excuse me, aren't you KBS announcer Park Unyeong?”
Unyeong didn't answer. said the clerk with a smile.
"You don't speak, so I guess you're right. She was so beautiful from the beginning that I thought she was a celebrity. That coat looks like it's going to rain. Try it on."
The clerk took out the coat and put it on Eunyeong. It harmonized with black, and Unyeong's beauty was revived.
"As expected! Our luxury goods museum seems to be coming alive. I think it's right."
Unyeong said.
"How much is this coat?"
"It's 4.5 million won, and if announcer Park buys it, I'll give it to you for 400."
"400? Oh, my God!"
Meanwhile, Unyeong took off her coat in surprise.
I said.
"Wear it as it is!”
"No, it's too expensive."
said the clerk.
"The women who live here also buy 500 bucks. But famous stars should wear this much. Besides, aren't you a beauty?”
I pulled out the card.
"Pick it up before you change your mind."
"Oppa!"
Unyeong grabbed my arm.
I said, frowning at the clerk.
"Hurry up and pay!"
"Oh, yes!"
The clerk took my card and shot it to the counter and paid the bill.
"Customer! How many months' installment plan do you want?”
"I'll pay on a lump sum."
"What? A lump sum payment?"
The clerk looked at me again, looking a little surprised. The clerk looked at my coat and a luxury watch worth tens of millions of won and nodded.
The clerk came with the card and receipt and bowed to me.
Unyeong fiddled with her coat and said,
"It's good, but... Too expensive."
Unyeong tried on her coat again.
There was also a hat inside the store. Tom Brown's hat was also on display.
As a joke, I picked up a hat and put it on Eunyeong.
Unyeong put on her hat and smiled with her coat on.
said the clerk, with his eyes wide open.
"Oh! It's like a scene in a movie!"
I felt like I saw it somewhere in the movie.
I came down to the parking lot and put my coat and hat in the back trunk.
Unyeong said with a worried look.
"What if someone steals it when it's loaded in the back trunk?"
"Who stole what was in the back trunk?"
Unyeong hung on my arm.
And he looked up at me and said,
"Thank you, brother! But I bought something too expensive, so it's kind of weird."
"What's the matter?"
"Actually, just buying a coat for 500,000 won is enough, but 400 is too much. I'll do that for you."
"Don't what?"
"Thank you for buying it for me, but it's burdensome to buy something too expensive. Even if you wear it, you'll be careful."
"Yes, I won't do that from now on."
Again we got into the car.
I started the engine.
Eunyeong kissed me on the cheek. The smell of fragrant operation was palpable.
We went to East Ichon-dong.
Remian Celitus in Ichon-dong, eastern Seoul, looked clean because it was a new apartment.
I said in the parking lot.
"Don't go straight to the apartment, but let's get some tissue or high-tie detergent."
"Ho-ho, I think I'm going to a new house.”
"On my way here, there's a shopping center right next to this apartment. Let's go buy it there and go."
I was trying to get out of Unyeong's hand and she turned around and looked at the car.
"What if someone takes the coat in there?"
"It's okay in Trunk! Go fast!"
Right next to the Remian Celitus apartment was the Shindonga Shopping Center. We bought toilet paper and laundry detergent here.
The laundry detergent was heavy, so I picked it up and the three-layer tissue roll was taken by Eunyeong and took the elevator of the apartment.
When I pressed the bell on the porch, the door opened and Omihyang came out.
"You're here! Welcome!"
Oh Mi Hyang was like a housewife because she was wearing an apron.
I said with a smile.
"You look like a real housewife with an apron on."
"Oh, by the way, I bought toilet paper and detergent. Why would you bring something like this heavy?"
Yoon, who wore sweatshirts, also jumped out.
"Is your brother here?"
The house was surprisingly spacious and nice. It looked quite wide.
Unyeong also said with admiration.
"Oh! The apartment is quite spacious and nice!”
"It's 46 pyeong. I had no choice but to use this because there was no small floor space here. When my parents came, I stayed and had a big flat."
"It's great to have a new apartment."
"What do you do if you like? It's a charter."
"How much rent is it?”
"It's 1.1 billion jeonse."
I thought it was good to give up the 26 pyeong of Hannam The Hill whether I should buy it or not.
As expected, it was cool and good because of the wide plain. It was really nice to see the Han River.
However, one thing that was unfortunate was that it was a lease.
However, since the two couples are international lawyers who make a lot of money, it seemed that they would soon live in such an apartment if they had to suffer for a few years.
While looking around the living room once, I remembered Assistant Manager Kim Hyung-sook's words.
I don't want to live with that money. The subway was not close and the market seemed far away. There is a tteokbokki restaurant, dumpling place, and sundae place nearby, but there is no place like that. If you go to Dangsan-dong or Munrae-dong over here, you can buy as much as you want, which is half the price and is close to the subway.
I wondered what Assistant Manager Kim Hyung-sook would think when she came in person.
