1983 Past Life Manga King

The horn-rimmed woman who felt their gaze was startled.

“I’m sorry.”

After saying that to the guests, he dragged us two and led us to one of the doors.

An old wooden door between huge bookshelves.

“I’m very curious, but we’ll hear more about it later, you two go this way.”

“yea, I got it.”

Kang Yong-cheol, who answered that way, dragged me into the door.

There is a neat space with a two-seater sofa facing each other.

I thought it was just a corner seat in the room, but there are windows on both sides of the corner, so it is a place that gets quite a lot of light.

Also, the windows are open, so the air is fresh.

Is it also a special room?

Well, it doesn’t feel like a strange place like a bar.

Maybe it’s a space for guests who like quiet things.

The horn-rimmed woman peeked out from outside the door and asked.

“Wait inside. Brother, haven’t you eaten? Do you want me to cook ramen?”

“Oh yeah. Coffee, please.”

“I see. So who is your brother?”

I was about to say no, but to block my reaction, Kang Yong-cheol answered instead.

“Give him too. It’s uncomfortable to eat alone.”

At that, I asked with an absurd look on my face.

“Anyway, just ask. Just don’t let it happen.”

“Hey, just eat it. I don’t know what else he has, but he has a talent for making ramen.”

“brother is.”

With such a fat expression on her face, the horn-rimmed woman came out.

Kang Yong-cheol looked at me and said,

“Trust me. Really awesome ramen. Perhaps, for the ramen, I have no choice but to come back here?”

“Did you take any drugs?”

Kang Yong-cheol giggled at my words and laughed.

“is it? It seems like it somehow.”

Looking at Kang Yong-cheol like that, he looked at him with an absurd expression, and then sighed.

“Do it in moderation.”

“Oh sorry.”

“Apart from ramen, hyung, isn’t there any good news this time around?”

I threw it out like a joke, but Kang Yong-cheol suddenly felt embarrassed for his age. Red to the ears.

“Oh, what. this year······.”

I was really surprised.

I hoped

“this year? Are you really married?”

“uh.”

Kang Yong-cheol nodded his head.

“Well, it happened.”

it’s marriage

Haha, considering Kang Yong-cheol’s age, it’s still quite late.

than that.

“Common sense hyung didn’t say anything?”

“I don’t even know him yet.”

“You don’t know about marriage?”

“No, my friend.”

Saying so, he chinked out the door.

“What, then, secret love?”

“It’s not that grand. Just by chance.”

“Stop being shy and talk to me. Don’t make it frustrating.”

Kang Yong-cheol, who was paying attention to my prompting, opened his mouth with difficulty.

“······that.”

That’s how Kang Yong-cheol’s story began.

Unlike his storytelling ability in cartoons, in reality, he is not very good at speaking coherently, so the content is a bit sparse.

To summarize,

It seems that the two of them first met around this time last year.

At that time, Kang Yong-cheol had some noisy construction right in front of the studio.

It was said that the house was vibrating because it was breaking cement and being noisy.

Thanks to this, it is said that he has been painting for several days in this space, not in the studio.

He just borrowed dozens of comic books, ordered some drinks, and used this space.

It cost some money, but he strangely liked working here.

Come to think of it, they said it was strange to have a desk in one corner, but it seems that they have been working there for a while.

And, as if he was going to work today, he took out a bundle of manuscripts and tools from his bag.

Did you charter this place at all?

Kang Yong-cheol smiled awkwardly as he felt my gaze.

“These days, it’s more comfortable here than in the studio.”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“Who are you?”

“I go to work in the evening.”

“It sounds like you’re coming because you’re lonely.”

Kang Yong-cheol, startled by those words, slapped his hand.

“Oh, because it’s not. It’s more comfortable here.”

“By the way, wouldn’t it be a nuisance if hyung occupies one place like this?”

“Hey, I spend my money while paying steadily.”

“Oh, right?”

“Of course. I earn quite a bit these days. Well, compared to you, it will bloom on new feet.”

Then the door opened and a woman with a horn-rim came in holding two steaming bowls on a tray.

“Ramen is here. Let’s eat and talk.”

The horn-rimmed woman smiled and spoke, then left the ramen and went out again.

Then, looking at her with her heartwarming face at her, Kang Yong-cheol again continued her story.

“As you can see, I commuted here almost every day. That’s how I got closer to Jung-sook.”

The horned girl’s name is Jeongsuk.

“Then, does that woman have a part-time job here?”

“No, it’s her mother’s business. Jeong-sook visits her shop during the day, and her mother visits her shop at night.”

A single mother and her younger sister seemed to be living together like this.

In fact, if it was a simple part-time job, it would have been impossible to use it like Kang Yong-cheol’s studio, no matter how much money he paid.

By the way, the smell of ramen makes me hungry.

He hurriedly brought the noodles to her mouth with chopsticks.

Oh, it’s worth shouting.

Ramen is more delicious than what Kyunghee made.

“The wedding is going to take place in the fall of this year. After the Olympics.”

I almost spit out the noodles I was chewing at Kang Yong-cheol’s words.

He swallowed carefully and asked with a puzzled expression.

“Olympic? What does it have to do with you?”

“Still, during the Olympics, the ceremonial hall might be quiet.”

“Well.”

As Kang Yong-cheol said, now the Olympics are truly a huge event.

There was a riot at the Asian Games held two years ago, too, so if it were the Olympics, it would be noisy every day with news of medals and game broadcasts.

Anyway, after talking with Kang Yong-cheol after a long time, the outside of the window was dyed red.

I looked at the time and saw that six hours had passed since I had been here.

“I will go now. It’s been a while since I’ve listened to you, so I didn’t realize the time was passing.”

Saying that, he got up from his seat.

“okay. I also had fun with you after a long time.”

“Whenever you have time, come to the studio together.”

“Ah, but that’s a little bit.”

“I’m embarrassed again. I’m just here to play.”

“uh. Yes, I got it.”

So, when she left the manga room, she said as if she felt sorry for the horn-rimmed woman.

“Come and play often. You’re a brother you know, so I’ll give it to you for free.”

“It’s not free.”

“It’s okay.”

“no. I’ll just bring a lot of people I know, so make some money.”

“Then thank you.”

She said hello and left the manga room.

At that moment, I heard a small voice from inside the door asking Kang Yong-cheol.

“By the way, how are you and your brother?”

“Oh, didn’t you tell me?”

“I didn’t.”

“·················ogue.”

At the same time as the sound of their conversation faded away, I also went down the stairs.

However, as I went down to the entrance of the building, I heard a scream from above the stairs.

“What? Really!”

After a while, he returned to the studio.

But as soon as you enter, the atmosphere is strange.

Because everyone’s eyes are on me.

“···········?”

I tilted my head in wonder, but then I stopped.

It was because I saw Park Sang-sik and his sister sitting on the sofa in the studio.

At that time, my mother and Kyung-hee came out of the kitchen, and they were shocked to see me.

Why are you here?

Anyway, sitting here with my sister and Park Sang-sik, the atmosphere is strange.

Well, I know you two well.

uh?

wait.

Seeing how I felt and reacted, my sister smiled awkwardly and said:

“Hey there, Yoon Hwan-ah. Would you like to sit here?”

Saying that, he pointed to the sofa opposite the two of them.

He approached the sofa with a hopeful expression and sat down with an awkward motion.

I looked at my sister, but this time I looked at Park Sang-sik.

Then, Park Sang-sik smiled awkwardly and averted his gaze.

as his face turned red.

Who do you have a similar reaction to today?

As she stared at Park Sang-sik like that, the older sister with a calm expression carefully opened her mouth.

“Hey, Yoon Hwan-ah.”

“uh. Say it.”

When I said that, my older sister sat next to her and looked back at Park Sang-sik, who was acting like her.

Then, Park Sang-sik felt her older sister’s gaze and immediately scratched the back of her head. Then he looked at me and then looked down and hesitated.

Seeing that, I laughed out loud.

“Just tell me, don’t waste your time. How can my older sister believe in me when my older brother is like this…? Anyway, tell me quickly.”

At that, Park Sang-sik flinched and startled, and immediately opened his mouth again.

“Hey, I decided to marry Jin-hee.”

At those words, everyone’s eyes turned to me.

They are nervous expressions about how I will react.

Seeing these gazes, I am confused as to how to react.

what do i say

Haha, I don’t know if my reaction is important, because when her mother meets me, I say, ‘My head of the house’ or ‘a pillar’.

I opened my mouth as I watched Park Sang-sik swallow dry saliva.

“when?”

Park Sang-sik stuttered in response to my question.

“Oh, this year. It would be nice in the fall. I want to know what you think.”

“What does it matter? Just live the two of you.”

Park Sang-sik widened his eyes at my words.

Then he smiled brightly and nodded his head to see if he had soon relaxed.

“Oh, I will.”

“I make that promise to my sister.”

“Oh yeah.”

Saying so, he looked at his sister.

My sister looked at me and smiled brightly.

“Thank you, Yunhwan-ah.”
