Near the Southern Circuit Road, Garibong District

Air-conditioned air conditioning is cool in this convenience store where girls' day music flows.

The hope of doing Alba here is to see a reference book compared to the first class of informatics articles inside the niche counter.

It's late in the morning, so the convenience store that only noises and music flow through the pen on paper is quieter than I thought.

The window of the convenience store trembled with tremor.

The red car made a tremendous noise and fluttered outside the large window of the convenience store.

A young man and woman, who appeared to be in their early 20s in a casual outfit, stepped out of the car and opened the convenience store door without turning off the starter.

“Welcome."

Hope welcomed young men and women with a smile.

And without the starter turned off, he filled the window and fell into contemplation of the red car growling like a monster.

In fact, men are mostly interested in sports cars, so hopefully they don't know about that loud Ferrari car.

The problem is the price of the car.

If the car has a brand called Ferrari, even the entry model is over 300 million.

If you are an entry-level BMW or Benz, another foreign car, you can dream in life, but the name Ferrari is outside the realm of dreams.

Incidentally, the cable broadcaster TopGear Korea saw a huge difference of over $500 million.

A convenience store that can make less than 40,000 won in 8 hours a day in hopes only costs 50 years to make a car.

He only runs Alba for a few months to earn tuition fees that are less than a hundredth of the cost of his car.

Borrowers who come into the convenience store smiling brightly, look close to 190, and look very handsome because they also resemble celebrity beauty actors.

Even the woman standing next to him is a great beauty.

Maybe that car was bought by his parents as a simple birthday present.

The shame of what I think I deserve now makes me laugh bitterly without even knowing myself.

"There are good people everywhere in the world, so let's not just think about it."

Hope saw a couple coming towards themselves.

“Here's the calculation."

Hot bar with a girl in a couple.

Two cappuccino cups and two drinks were pushed onto the counter. Hope habitually brought the reader to the barcode and pressed the button.

A woman takes a simple design red card out of her purse and hands it to Hope.

“Yes, please sign, sir. Do you need a cash receipt? ”

Instead of answering, the woman waved her head left and right and drew a circle on the touchboard with her young finger attached to a yellow nail art.

“Thank you.”

The woman went to the microwave to heat the hot bar. The tall man looks down on hope and walks towards the woman. The woman looked at him and said to the man,

“Honey, isn't that guy handsome over there? ”

A woman stares at hope and asks, with a cutter knife, a knife to the hot bar. The man replied with an unknown smile.

“Well, it's what it looks like. It's the people.”

“Honey, are you peeing? ”

A woman asks, emptying out a lamentable tone in a man's voice. And the man burst forth with a great laugh, and bowed himself with a great height, and whispered in her ear.

“Ha-ha-ha."

At that moment, a man's whisper was heard in the ear of hope.

People... Hope has blushed without even knowing it.

Even if the house of hope were a typical citizen, I would not leave late at night to earn tuition and do a 4,000 won convenience store alba.

Of course, I can do Alba where I can make more money, but I can do my job here because I can study my credentials at this late hour with no guests, but that's just my excuse.

‘Yes.. It's just.. It's just a convenience store for the good guy.. It's just.. It's just... for you, it's just the people. ’

When you think of your parents in the countryside, this idea is also extravagant.

Couple of men and women took the hot bar out of the microwave and began to wait for it as the beep rang. Men and women seemed to go to universities in the United States.

With a semester tuition fee of $35,000, the bmw of this lease goes out for $4,000 a month, and the champagne eaten at a private club in Beverly Hills costs $3,000. Those stories are cloudy to the standards of the people they just talked about.

I tried so hard to ignore it, but I couldn't help but dislike it.

A couple who enjoyed the hot bar with cappuccino left the convenience store door after dumping packaging nil garbage in the trash can.

“Well done."

A tall man in a couple leaned against the door and turned around and said to Hope with an unknown smile.

“Yes, thank you. Farewell, guests."

Hope just replied to the man with a mechanical smile.

The red sports car carrying the two men disappeared like a gunshot from a convenience store with a high-tone engine sound emanating from 12 cylinders.

The area around the microwave where the men and women stayed was neatly organized.

Still, if you don't get rid of the soup scum, you're going to have to eat more than the conceptless kids and the drunkards.) was also a mannered guest.

Sometimes I meet people who are drunk without a concept.

But strangely, I felt worse than ever.

Is it because of that smile he saw?

Yes, before leaving the convenience store, a smile that doesn't know its meaning is a pretentious laugh that laughs at itself inside.

I became miserable without knowing why I was solving my credentials problem.

After 3: 00 in the morning, after the establishment was finished, I saw some shipbuilding ladies who were buying cigarettes, as well as drunken actual guests who came to visit.

Having had a hard time and a hard time, it's almost 5: 00.

The shopkeeper uncle came to take over and hopefully packed his luggage in the backpack, then left the convenience store and headed home.

It's time for sunrise after 5: 00 in the morning, but the alleyway is humanly pathetic.

The night in Seoul is more spectacular than the day, but behind the shade, where foreign workers, Chinese, and shipbuilders gather, it looks like the boulevard.

There are digital bellies and grocery stores on the side of the boulevard, but it's hard to find Koreans even after 8: 00 p.m., just 50 meters down the street from the house where hope rises.

Most homes are out of fire, alleyways twist like a maze, and foreigners frequently come across empty houses.

Still, it's a good thing you think it's better than other densely populated areas.

But even in relatively less places, rape can't be helped.

Foreigners have a strong inclination not to follow and do not think back, so once they hold a grudge, they wield a sword or axe.

There's only one way to be careful.

Hope thought so.

And he thought that his life, without power, would continue to flow like a bystander in the water.

However, as is the case for everyone, life often flows without regard to thought or will.

And there was a storm of destiny approaching where there was no expectation at all.

It was very far away, but suddenly it was like a storm approaching.

No one knew right now whether the fate that began with that connection was the path to harsh despair or whether it would give hope.
