Chapter 09: Born to Wander
At half past nine in the evening, half an hour after Krystal was sent home by his agent......
The TV is on, and SBS's moonfire drama "Doctor Outlander" is playing. Jessica was leaning back on the couch with a wink, Bluetooth headphones in her ears, and talking on the phone.
Krystal had just finished taking a shower, and while wiping his hair, he walked over, and when he saw his sister on the phone, he didn't squeak and quietly slipped past him.
Jessica glanced at her, didn't say anything, and continued to talk on the phone: "Pani, let's play it once, it won't take long, it's about half a day......"
In the bedroom, Krystal had already changed his clothes and smiled with satisfaction as he looked at himself in the mirror.
Jeans with a simple fit and set off the curves, a neutral checked shirt, and a baseball cap that celebrities must use as cover when they go out, it is simply perfect!
Gently pushing open the bedroom door, Krystal poked his head out and observed his sister. Jessica was still talking on the phone in the same position as Krystal took a deep breath and walked out of her bedroom to the fridge.
Jessica looked back at her, said something to the other end of the line, and hung up.
"What are you doing?"
"Huh?" Krystal looked back like a thief who had been caught stealing, a panicked look on his face. Suddenly, he saw that he was still holding something in his hand, so he hurriedly put it behind his back, hesitated for a moment and took it out again.
Jessica frowned slightly and said, "What are you doing with meat?" In the middle of the night, do you want to eat barbecue? ā
"Ah...... No, no, I'm ......" Krystal was a little flustered and hesitated: "IāI'm taking it for the members, everyone has been tired lately, so let's have some barbecue...... Hehe......" Krystal chuckled dryly, put the meat and sausages he had taken out into the prepared bag, and carried them to the door.
Jessica looked at Krystal changing her shoes and said, "Are you going to go so late?" I'll talk about it tomorrow, or I'll drive you? ā
"Oh, no!" Krystal hurriedly waved his hand: "I'll just drive there myself, don't I already have a driver's license, and I won't get stuck in traffic at night." ā
"Is that okay?" Jessica thought for a moment, and suddenly the corners of her mouth hooked up an inexplicable smile, and said, "Yes, my lord." ā
"That's right, I'm an adult, sister, you should rest early, Bye!"
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Jessica shook her head speechlessly, such an obvious lie could be told, and she dared to say that she was an adult. How can there be an active idol who eats barbecue in the middle of the night, what a stupid.
ā¦ā¦
North Village.
"It's 30,000 won, Ah Jiu, thank you."
"It's okay, I should be grateful." Ah Jiu put the money in his pocket and said, "I wish you a smooth journey." ā
"What a good young man, don't worry, Auntie will help you keep an eye on the object."
The aunt got into the car, opened the window and waved her hand to Ah Jiu. Ah Jiu smiled innocently and scratched the back of his head, looking embarrassed.
The truck carried the family down the mountain, and Ah Jiu's hand was also put down.
There are fewer and fewer people in North Village.
As the deadline for demolition approached, most of the people had already found a place to relocate, and the North Village became deserted.
Since returning from Park Chanyoung, Ah Jiu has helped three families load cars, earning a total of 110,000 won. If you hire a regular moving company at this price, it is only enough for the cost of one company.
This summer, Ah Jiu helped countless families in Beicun to move, and the lowest price was charged, even if someone wanted to give him more, he wouldn't ask for it. Although it is possible that these people will never cross paths with him again in the rest of their lives after they leave here, he still does so. The reason is simple, when he first came here, the people here took him in and helped him more or less.
I don't know when the towel around my neck was already wet with sweat, Ah Jiu twisted the towel and put it back on, walking home along the way up the mountain.
Five minutes later, he arrived at the door, and the lights were still on. He hadn't slept so late, which made Ah Jiu feel a little surprised.
Just as he was about to go upstairs, the door of the landlord's house opened, and the landlord poked his head out: "Ah Jiu, come here, I have something to tell you." ā
ā¦ā¦
When he went downstairs and found that he didn't have the car keys, Krystal thought it was ridiculous, and he almost cried to himself.
But she didn't have the courage to go back and get it again, and her intuition told her that her sister had found something, and if she went back, if she asked...... Krystal shook her head, she felt that she was definitely not her sister's opponent.
I had no choice but to take a taxi...... Fortunately, there is an artifact of taxi software in this era, and after a little search, a taxi soon came.
"Master, please excuse me, I'm going to Beicun."
"Kitamura?" The driver was stunned for a moment and said, "Where are you going?" Miss, I haven't been to this place. ā
"Ah, that's ......" Krystal didn't want to talk too much, because the more he talked, the easier it was to be recognized, and the location of the North Village was not easy to describe. After thinking about it, she opened Google Maps on her phone and marked the location of Beicun on the map.
"So that's it, I see." The driver handed Krystal back the phone and started the car.
"Guest, I heard that it is about to be demolished, what are you going to do there?"
"Oh, IāI'm going to visit an elder." Afraid that the driver would not believe him, Krystal took the bag of meat and put it on his lap: "This is a gift." ā
"You are such a filial person, and there are not many young people like you these days. It's your loved one, right? ā
"Ah, yes, it's uncle......" Krystal laughed dryly, gritting his teeth.
ā¦ā¦
Coming out of the landlord's house, Ah Jiu's mood became very low.
The landlord is also moving out, and the date is set for tomorrow. Because the landlord has a car, he will bring a little thing over at any time when he decorates the house, and by now everything that should have been moved has been moved, and the remaining old furniture and other things have been ready to be discarded, so tomorrow is basically the end of the day.
The landlord said that they did not want to move out so early, but in the afternoon they got the news that the owners who moved in early could buy the community store first. The landlord is going to open a neighborhood convenience store, so he plans to move in as soon as possible.
However, the landlord did not drive Ah Jiu away, not only that, but they also 'gifted' the house to him. Before the final demolition came, Ah Jiu could live here casually, and the furniture and electrical appliances that he didn't take away were also given to him.
For Ah Jiu, this is both a good thing and a bad thing.
On the bright side, he can finally enjoy a 'luxury' like watching TV all the time. On the bad side, as the neighbors move away one after another, it is likely that he will be the only one left in the North Village in the end.
And when the deadline for demolition came, he really had nowhere to go. With the little savings he had, he couldn't even afford to rent a basement in a place like Seoul.
