“Then, I am a human too.”

“Come to the library to play.”

“Are you trying to get me to work?”

“Okay, to get you to work.”

Gahee Jeong came down to the library every weekend.

She worked as a candle school teacher and worked in the library.

He was the busiest among the farmers in Jirisan.

I decided to go to the library to cool my head.

As I was about to leave, my mother asked.

“It’s the weekend, are you going to work again?”

“No, I will rest today.”

“Really? Aren’t you going to the office saying you’re taking a break?”

Mother asked with disbelief.

“Really. I’m going to the library to meet Kahi.”

“okay? Then wait a minute.”

I was told to wait for a while, but it took quite a while. I went into the kitchen and asked.

“What are you doing?”

“To bring you something to eat.”

“it’s okay.”

Mother put the kimbap and fruits in the basket. The amount was huge.

“Take this and eat it.”

“Who eats all this?”

“Are you going to the library? Eat with the people there.”

My mother went to the library with carefully wrapped food.

When I arrived at the library, class was in progress.

Jeong Ga-hee wrote on the blackboard. The people at the desk followed along and read what she had written.

Most of the students are grandmothers.

It was like teaching Korean to the grandmothers.

I waited for class to finish.

“When did you come?”

Jeong Ga-hee asked with a smile.

“Come soon.”

“What do you have in your hand?”

“Lunch to eat together.”

Jeong Ga-hee looked into the basket and asked.

“Is this the one your mother gave you?”

“how did you know?”

“You can tell just by smelling it.”

“It’s a ghost.”

“Can we all eat together?”

she asked, blinking her eyes. I nodded my head lightly.

I ate gimbap and fruits with the grandmothers in the library break room.

They were all known grandmothers.

These are the people who have been in charge of the diet of the farmers in Jirisan since Hadong University.

“Today, I get lunch from the CEO~”

One of the grandmothers said with a smile.

I ate kimbap and asked my grandmother.

“Are you going to attend class?”

“Nowadays, I live with the pleasure of learning to read.”

“Are you that good?”

“Very good, how kindly our teacher Kahi teaches us~”

The grandmothers who were listening next to them nodded their heads.

After lunch, I went for a walk with Jeong Ga-hee.

I asked her as I passed the place where the mural was painted.

“Aren’t your grandmothers going home?”

“After class, read a book and practice writing.”

“The passion is great.”

“I was surprised too.”

“The next goal for Jeong Ga-hee was Hangeul class.”

“The Korean language class is something I’ve been thinking about since the beginning of the library. I haven’t decided on my next goal yet.”

“I wonder if you haven’t decided yet, I set a new goal today.”

“target?”

She looked at me with a curious face.

“I’m thinking of starting a reading group.”

“A reading group?”

* * *

A reading group for farmers in Jirisan was formed.

The start was decided by the team leader including Han Ki-tak.

Han Gi-tak asked with a book.

“Instead of giving me a vacation, are you not letting me take a break on the weekend?”

“We want to read a book together.”

“Why don’t young farmers join us?”

“I saw you sneakily ask Seong Do-yoon.”

“What do you say?”

“They said they would do it on their own.”

“Well, it would be burdensome to be with us.”

After that, I went to the library every weekend.

The reading group was conducted in such a way that they read one book a week and share their impressions and opinions.

The most active person is Min Yo-han. He did a good job finding books on advanced agriculture.

He also prepared a dissertation rather than a published book.

Papers on the use of drones in agriculture also attracted people’s attention.

Baek Min-seok was criticized for recommending books related to the program.

Contrary to what I thought, Lee Dong-chun did not recommend technology-related books. The books he recommended were mainly essays that warmed the heart.

Han Gi-tak recommended a book about cooking. I found out through a reading group that he was interested in cooking.

Seong-yoon Seong and young farmers also held a reading group at the library.

It was nice to see them having a group meeting.

We often ran into each other at the library, and each time we held each other’s books.

Gahee Jeong prepared a snack for us.

The time I spent with her naturally increased.

A long summer had passed.

Han Ki-tak took an active part in today’s reading group.

At the end of the meeting, I found out why.

“How about taking a week off next week?”

“why?”

“Because there are two people going on vacation.”

Han Ki-tak looked at Lee Dong-chun and Baek Min-seok and said.

Lee Dong-chun said with a smile.

“I am leaving for Dubai next week. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen my son’s face.”

“I want to go to Seoul, too.”

Baek Min-seok said with his eyes twinkling. It is a face looking forward to a vacation.

* * *

It was a day without a reading group, but I went to the library.

He seemed to have developed a habit of going to the library on weekends.

Just in time, Ga-hee Jeong came out of class.

“Didn’t you say that there is no meeting today?”

“Okay, today is a day off.”

“Then are you here to play?”

“I guess it has become a habit.”

“It went well. We have a special event today.”

“event?”

I headed to the library auditorium with her.

The grandmothers who were taking classes were gathered there.

As we entered, the grandmothers greeted us with a smile.

“Did you see something today?”

“It’s a day to publish poems written by grandmothers themselves.”

“city?”

I took a seat with her.

One of the grandmothers stood on the podium.

She opened the paper she had prepared and said.

“It’s strange that someone who doesn’t even know Hangul writes poetry. It’s embarrassing, but I’ll publish a poem I wrote.”

I started reciting a poem my grandmother wrote herself.

“Title On the way to the library, I found out that I could study Korean at the library. I decided to start writing for the first time. When I was young, I couldn’t study because I was poor, and when I became an adult, I couldn’t study because I had to raise babies and make a living. I was over 70, and my heart was pounding at the thought that I could still study. My heart still trembles.”

Applause broke out.

Grandma’s candid writing touched my heart.

After the event, Gahee Jeong asked.

“Do you want to go out to eat today?”

I headed to the valley next to the library with her.

It was still hot in the middle of the day.

As I entered the valley, I was overwhelmed by the air cooler than the air conditioner.

“Let’s sit over there.”

A bench was placed where you could see the superb view of the valley.

I sat on the bench with her and looked at the cool flowing water.

“eat this.”

Jeong Ga-hee took out her lunch box.

“It’s a little kimbap.”

“I made it myself.”

“Where do you want to taste?”

It is a small kimbap with only carrots and pickled radish.

I was pleasantly surprised that it tasted better than I expected.

“The poetry recitation was very moving.”

I said while eating kimbap.

“It would have been better because it was an honest article.”

“That’s right, my sincerity was conveyed as it is.”

We talked without knowing the passage of time.

From the moment he learned dried persimmons from Hwang Yu-shin, to the story of his time at Jijangsa Temple.

While chatting happily, Jeong Ga-hee said quietly looking at the valley.

“I have a new goal.”

In case u have any questions u can refer to uwumtl dot com for references

New Goal -Complete-

Jeong Ga-hee’s eyes were very serious.

“I want to have a happy family.”

“happy family? You want to get married? But do you have a partner?”

“Well… … I didn’t ask the other person, but I’m going to ask now. Kim Deok-myeong, will you marry me?”

She looked straight into my eyes and said.

* * *

From that day on, I was in trouble.

After returning, I ran only for my dreams. I never thought about marriage.

As I was about to leave work, Han Gi-tak said to me.

“Let’s have a drink at the food stall today.”

When there was no answer, he patted me on the back.

After finishing the order, Han Gi-tak looked at me quietly.

“These days, our representative has become strange.”

“Looks weird? What’s different?”

“It’s a face with a lot of trouble.”

Then the snacks and drinks I ordered came out. I poured a glass of soju with him.

I had a drink and asked him.

“Have you ever been worried about failure?”

“It was me who always worried about failure. Until I become a member of the Jirisan farmers.”

“You mean you don’t care now?”

“I’m not worried at all.”

“why?”

“Because of Kim Deok-myung.”

Han Ki-tak looked straight at me and said. It sounded like a sincere statement.

“Do you remember what Seong Do-yoon said in the interview? He said he was happy to work as a member of the Jirisan farmers.”

I nodded quietly.

“I feel the same way with him. I am happy to work as a member of the Jirisan farmers. I don’t feel like I’m working just to make a living. It feels like a new dream every day. At the center of it is Kim Deok-myeong, the leader of the Jirisan farmers. A man who makes the impossible possible.”

“Isn’t that making it too floaty?”

“I’m not the only one who thinks so. Because all of your colleagues believe in you and follow you.”

I poured out my soju glass.

“I don’t know what your concerns are, but I want to help too. Let our representative not be shaken.”

Han Gi-tak said with strength in his eyes.

“Then, please promise not to laugh after hearing the story.”

“I’ll promise. Now tell me.”

I told him what happened with Gahee Jeong.

At first he listened to me with a serious expression.

Hearing the story to the end, he burst into laughter that he had been holding back.

“Jung Ga-hee proposed to Kim Deok-myung?”

“Did you forget that you promised not to laugh?”

“I’m sorry, I didn’t know.”

He gulped down the water. It seemed to calm the mind.

“What did you say?”

“I asked for time to think.”

“I wonder if that didn’t make it awkward?”

“It’s not like that, you know Kahi’s personality, too.”

“Jung Ga-hee is not a woman who will never die.”

“What do you think? no, your heart. Does Jeong Ga-hee look like a woman?”

“I like Kahi too.”

“Then there is nothing to worry about. Get Jung Ga-hee’s proposal.”

“Is marriage that simple?”
