Hongdae, the full name of Hongik University, but in the young Korean population, it is not just the abbreviation of Hongik University, it also represents the unique cultural scope here. The fame of the university street around Hongdae is far greater than that of Hongik University itself, and no matter who you think of when you think of Hongdae, the first thing that comes to mind is not Hongik University, but everything around it.

Hongdae is home to a small number of unique cultures that are different from popular culture, and it can also be said to belong to the culture of young people, and there are many food shops, clubs, bars, cafes, etc. Hongik University itself is famous for its art majors, and its surroundings are full of art, with various music playing in the streets and alleys, as well as street dances, hip-hop, poping, and b-boying...... A favorite place for dance lovers, a small paradise after the golden dance.

There is a lively place will always have the opposite of its atmosphere, just like a bustling city will have a place that does not belong to its bustling city, and this place will always be gradually ignored by people in the general environment, until one day it is exposed to people's sight will be discovered: Hey, it turns out that we still have such a place here.

After coming out of Hongdae's subway exit 8 and walking all the way, when you come to a T-junction, you can see a large church that attracts the attention of Hwang Mi-young and Choi so-young, turn left at this intersection, continue to walk and walk, after passing by a small theater, turn to the right of the intersection, and after walking a short distance, a café that does not belong to Hongdae's free and avant-garde atmosphere comes into view.

It's a two-storey café with a small courtyard filled with flowers and trees that have faded in the autumn wind, and looks like a botanical garden rather than a café from a distance if it weren't for the neon signs. Brew a cup of coffee in this quiet atmosphere, sit in the small courtyard, listen to soft music, and leave all your worries behind, what a time to enjoy at noon.

This is the place where Lee Soon-gyu brought them for the first time, and I heard that she has been fond of drinking coffee here for a long time, not only because it tastes good, but also has a quiet environment.

A group of four people pushed open the door of the café with their feet, and the wind chimes hanging on the door made a 'jingle, jingle' sound because of the wind on the door. Lee Ji-eun and Park Ji-yeon went back first because of the phone call at home halfway, and only the S.M foursome came to Hongdae.

"Good afternoon, uncle~!" No matter what time it is, Lin Xiaolu is always full of vitality.

"Oh, it's Taeyeon and Yoona, who are these two?" An uncle who was mixing coffee looked up, he was the manager of the café, and he had converted this café into his own home.

"Good afternoon, Uncle Xingguo, these two are our sisters, Cui Xueli and Zheng Xiujing, and we will have to ask Uncle Xingguo to take care of them in the future." smiled and said hello to the uncle in front of the coffee machine, and pushed two small people forward one by one.

"Anihasse, my name is Cui Xueli, please advise."

"Anihasse, I'm Zheng Xiujing, please take care of me."

Greeting respectfully, the two children still couldn't let go in front of strangers, just like Kim Taeyeon, who had just come here, and after introducing himself, he hid behind Lee Soon-gyu and them as background characters.

"Hello." Kang Heung-kook smiled and nodded, the same smile as when he first saw Kim Taeyeon, the elders looked at the juniors, "Let's go first, and wait for the uncle to bring you a cup of delicious coffee." ”

"Inside, thank you, uncle."

bowed and thanked him, and walked with Lin Yun'er to Cui Xueli and Zheng Xiujing, who were here for the first time, to the seat where they usually sit. There are only neatly arranged seats in the empty hall, and there is no sign of splicing to see that Lee Soon-gyu and the others have not yet come, otherwise the placement here will definitely not be so neat.

Sitting in the window seat, the wind blowing in through the window, leaning on the back of the chair and stretching a little, the quiet atmosphere makes you feel like you want to sleep. The sound system in the store plays light classical music and the pop music and DJ dance music outside to create a contrast between the two worlds. The outside world may be more suitable for the energy of young people than the tranquility here, and it's no wonder that the café's performance has been dismal, and whoever makes its surroundings a favorite of young people.

Time passed little by little, and Jung so-yeon, the clothing group who went out shopping, came with her fashion friend Hwang Mi-young and Seo Joo-hyun, who was obedient to her sister's words, with a bag of large and small bags. It seemed that they were shopping very happily, and you could think of how badly their poor wallets were now.

“Krystal~！”

“daedae~！”

One laughs stupidly, the other laughs stupidly, and I don't know if it's because of a hospital, these two dimensions are so close. One is helpless, the other is disgusted, under the ruthless onlookers of Lim Yoona, Seo Joo-hyun, and Choi Xue-ri, Kim Taeyeon and Jung so-jung let the people sitting next to them show off their loot.

"Yuna Ernie and Shirley, sorry we're late." It's better to be a little busy, the word reserved was created for her, and the idea of pulling Xu Zhuxian onto the point of no return suddenly went very far.

"Xiujing, look, it's all bought for you here." Three bags were thrown into Zheng Xiujing's arms, and Zheng Xiuyan tilted her head in anticipation as if she wanted to see the reaction she expected.

"Really, I bought so many clothes, if I let mom know, I wouldn't want to die." Disgust is disgust, the hand of turning over the bag has never stopped, and the sight has always stopped in the bag. "Yes, it's not bad." Do you like it or don't like it? What the answer is, depending on the reaction of the other person, will probably make it clear.

"I knew Xiujing would like it~." The sweet little cute voice is everywhere, and the corners of the little black face's mouth have also risen a lot, it seems that the second miss of the Zheng family is very satisfied with the gift of the eldest lady of the Zheng family, and the sister or something is really used to dislike it.

"Daedae, daedae, look!" Huang Meiying took out a trendy pink autumn dress that was neither warm nor youthful from the bag, and opened it on Kim Taeyeon's body like a treasure, "It's not good-looking, I bought it for you~!" The crooked smile seemed to beg for appreciation.

"Me?" In Lin Xiaolu's envious, jealous and hateful eyes, Kim Taeyeon pointed at herself in surprise. "But I still have a lot of clothes in my closet." Adhering to the traditional virtues of thrift and thrift, Kim Taeyeon's clothes are almost always unworn or renewed.

"Those things in your closet are old enough to get a new one." The big pink eyebrows frowned slightly, pouting with disgust.

"What are the old things, several of them were bought last year." I don't know what it means to save, and I don't know if I don't know how expensive firewood and rice are if I don't know if it's not at home.

Huang Meiying puffed out her cheeks, her snorting voice was sometimes light and heavy, and the words "I will cry to you if you don't accept it" were clearly written in her clear eyes.

Kim Taeyeon took the clothes in Hwang Mi-young's hand with one hand, and pinched her bulging left cheek with the other, "How can I not accept Wuli Pani's intentions, Kang Sami Da~." ”

"Eun, that's right." Huang Meiying nodded with satisfaction, and her crooked smiling eyes couldn't find a gap.

"I also bought it!" On the other side, Zheng Xiuyan was not willing to lag behind and took out a coat from a bag, and the one she bought with Huang Meiying just made up an inside and an outside, and it was really discussed.

"Ahh Ernies don't hurt me anymore~! Bambi's eyes were foggy, and crocodile tears were rolling in his eyes, but he couldn't fall down, "I want new clothes too!" ”

"Ernie, I just saw Yoonjin Ernie buy you new clothes yesterday." Good neighbors are used to dismantle the stage, Lin Xiaolu, who was still making noise just now, is already holding his chin with resentment, and his mouth is flat compared to that of a flounder, is this really a future female idol?

The fragrant coffee blows wisps of smoke, and there is bitterness in the mouth, and there is bitterness in sweetness, and there is bitterness in sweetness, just like life is not simply sweet or bitter, and life is happy and sad.

Li Shungui, who was long overdue, finally arrived, and with egg tarts in one hand and kebabs in the other, they knew that these few would not go shopping obediently. Lin Xiaolu blew up, just because he heard them say that he only went shopping and didn't follow, what happened? Not only did I go to buy delicious food, but I also went to the video game city, and said that I would have fun together. Such a pit girl, are you really embarrassed!! The sound of 'popping' on the table shows how 'angry' Lin Yun'er is.

The one-man show ended quickly, because no one paid attention to Lin Yun'er in the fried hair, patronizing the egg tarts that Lee Soon-gyu and the others desperately snatched from Choi so-young's mouth, drinking Uncle Jiang's special fragrant coffee, and talking about the interesting anecdotes they saw on the street. Puffing out her cheeks, Lin Yun'er planned to turn her grief and anger into appetite, and the egg tarts placed in the center disappeared two or three at once.

"Hmph~ I'm going to eat them all, eat them all!" The mouth stuffed with egg tarts is slurred, one egg tart in one hand, and his eyes are still staring straight at the egg tart that no one has touched on the table for the time being.

Talking and laughing, the stomach that had drunk too much coffee suddenly wanted to eat something, but when he looked down, he found that the egg tarts on the table were rapidly disappearing, the crocodile's mouth was swallowing the dates to eliminate their rations, and the fawn was vigilant about all the movements around him. For a moment when Kim Taeyeon was stunned, another tart disappeared, "Ah, don't eat it all!" ”

The war on the table began, and all the staff joined the snatching queue for the few egg tarts, and in the helpless smile of the store manager, there was a burst of chickens and dogs jumping by the window.

"If we make our debut, I don't know how much time we will have to come here and relax." Knocking on a Erlang leg and putting his hands behind his head, Lee Soon-gyu leaned on the back of the chair and looked out of the window with distraction.

"I'll take a break when I'm free." Kim Taeyeon picked up her cup and took the last sip of her coffee.

"Maybe you won't get a chance to come back." A voice with a lot of reluctance and regret sounded not far away, Jiang Xingguo leaned on the sofa, doing the same movements as Lee Soon-gyu, looking at the TV set that was playing the latest bloody romance drama on the cabinet.

"Huh? Why? Qi Qi turned his head and looked at Jiang Xingguo with puzzlement written in his eyes.

"I'm going to sell this coffee shop."

"Sell?!" Lee Soon-gyu's voice suddenly rose, and he suddenly left his seat and jumped in front of Jiang Xingguo. "Uncle Jiang, why do you want to sell it, didn't you say it's like your child, why do you want to sell it?" With an anxious look, it can be seen that she really likes this café.

"Yes, child......" Jiang Xingguo closed his eyes, and only the sound of the TV was left in the entire café.

"I don't want to, but not many people are here anymore, and most of the young people nowadays are in love with instant coffee, and the world here is completely different from the outside, and this place has been forgotten by everyone." There seems to be a lot of nostalgia in the eyes that are opened.

"That'...... After it is sold, will it still be a coffee shop? Uncle, are you still here? ”

"This one...... I don't know. "The smile is a little vicissitudes.

"That'...... Then I'll buy it! "The sudden decision was something no one could have expected.

"You buy?" Jiang Xingguo was a little surprised and a little skeptical. "Do you have the money to buy it? Will your family agree to spend a fortune on a coffee shop that is going bankrupt? ”

"I ...... No money...... They...... I don't know ......" The clenched fist loosened, as if deflated, the head was lowered, the bangs covered the tear-rolling eyes, there were many memories of her, and now these memories were going to be lost. People always know how to cherish and keep when they are about to lose, and they always know how to regret after losing.

"Shun-kyu, I'm sorry."

"Uncle doesn't need to say I'm sorry, I'm just a little reluctant." Shaking his head, a few teardrops gathered in his eyes were thrown out, flying in mid-air, and falling to the ground to make a splash.

"If you really don't give up, then take action, give." The tears of the broken line dripped on a bank card that suddenly appeared, "Although there are not many in it, I should be able to make a down payment or something, and I have the right to take my shares." I can't help but say that the bank card is already lying in my hand, which is all the money that Kim Taeyeon got from selling songs and the money that she carefully earned from the stock market, oh yes, there is also the small ~ money that she made in the World Cup by relying on the memory of the dragon dance, but that part of the money has been handed over to her father to invest in the construction of Jeju Island, although her money is not very good.

Wiping his tears, he raised his head and yelled at Kim Taeyeon, who was no different in height from him, "Ah, Kim Taeyeon! Is there a loser like you, hurry up and take it back! ”

"Ah, what a loser, do you know what venture capital is, there is no reason to take back what I hand out!" The volume is like a quarrel, and no one is weaker than the other. "Besides, I've agreed to my investment." There was only a short sentence on the lit screen, but it clearly explained Kim's mother's support.

[Do whatever you want]

is really an enlightened parent, ready a stomach of words and swallowed back to the stomach, the bank card in the hand suddenly became so hot, a thousand words in one hug.

"I won't thank you for killing you!" Stubborn temper is not just one person.

"Now, and mine, these are all saved by my frugality, not a lot, maybe less than Taeyeon's, but I hope it can help you." The word "save food" came out of Cui Xiuying's mouth, and there was a sense of disharmony. "In the future, when I come here to eat and drink, remember to give me a free order, so I can be considered a shareholder anyway." No matter what time you can't do without eating and drinking, isn't it a little too far ahead?

"Now that I think about eating in the future, it's still a question of whether I can buy it, and even if I buy it, it's also a question of whether I can continue to run it."

Lee Soon-gyu glared angrily at Choi so-young, who was only half-nibbling on the tart. Shaking his hand indifferently, Cui Xiuying ignored Lee Soon-gyu, who was a head shorter than herself, turned around and walked to the seat by the window and sat down, Erlang's legs swayed and swayed, "If you can't run it, so what, it's a big deal to treat it as if I ate the money." ”

"I don't think Daddy blames me for spending money."

"Ernie, the pocket money I saved should be able to make up a small change, remember to give something delicious."

"Ernie, I can also take out all these years of New Year's money to make up."

"I'll do it too."

“……”

"You ......" tears seemed to have the urge to gush out, and his nose seemed to be blocked by something and it was difficult to breathe, he raised his head and poured back the tears that were about to flow out, and took a deep breath, "Ah, do you know that this will be very troublesome!" Do you know that your money may not come back! I couldn't hide my choked voice.

"Nope! Know! Road! For the first time, everyone's answer was so neat.

"You children, don't you know that the current housing price is very expensive, even if you pay the down payment, you may have to work hard for the next payment for a long time, just for a good thing that has passed?" Relieved and more helpless, Jiang Xingguo didn't know what to say about Kim Taeyeon and them, obviously he didn't have much financial resources, but he took out his savings for the memories of his friends, is it an impulse that doesn't know people's hearts or a naivety to friendship? The answer may be known only to them.

Either pensively or unsure of how to speak, everyone was silent, the conversation on the TV suddenly died out, the music in the background played softly, the sound of wind chimes hanging in the door swaying in the wind drifted in through the open windows, and the café returned to its original tranquility.

"However, if there is no place for memories, no matter how good the memories are, they will disappear in the passage of time, will there be memories in the future? We always forget things that we thought we would never forget. ”

Looking out the window, the focus is drifting, and there are too many images in my mind that have been lost and gradually forgotten. After a long time, her pupils returned to clarity, Kim Taeyeon slowly turned her head, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and the pear vortex under the corners of her mouth sank little by little, "No matter how long I need to work hard in the future, I will not regret today's actions, at most, when I am old, I will publicize my glorious impulse history with the people around me." Some people say that youth is a short-term momentum, energetic but not persuasive, blind toss, so let me toss blindly, how can I know whether it is right or wrong if I don't take action. ”

A smile gradually appeared on everyone's face, and the silence was suddenly swept away.

Swallowing the delicious egg tart that was reluctant to swallow in her mouth, Choi so-young took out a tissue and wiped the corners of her mouth stained with egg tart oil, "Na, Taeyeon is right, if you don't take advantage of the impulse now, you can't be impulsive again in the future, and the big deal is that I have eaten so many less." ”

"My family is not short of that little money." Generous Hao, Zheng Xika, you are really a bright little tyrant.

"Although my family is not very wealthy, my family does not lack my little pocket money, just like Xiuying said, the big deal is to eat less in the future, buy less useless, and one day I will pay it off." Standing in front of the coffee machine, Kwon Yoo-ri lowered her head and poured the already mixed coffee into her cup, looking at the lines in the cup, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

"You ......"

After being silent for a long time, he raised his head and looked at Kim Tae-yeon, who looked like an uncle-like person who was giving vocal guidance to Park Sun-yeon with Erlang's legs, Choi so-young who was heartlessly grabbing the last egg tart on the table with Lim Yoon-a, looking at Jung so-yeon who bullied herself despite her sister's wrinkled dissatisfied expression, Kwon Yoo-ri who was smiling and adding some spices to the coffee with Kim Hyo-yeon, and Hwang Mi-young who was struggling with the serious Seo Joo-hyun and the slim Choi Seo-ri. The tears that had been holding back broke through the barrier in the eye sockets, leaving two tear stains down his cheeks, "Thank you...... Sisters......"

wiped the traces of tears on his face, and smiled at Jiang Xingguo with a pair of reddened eyes, "Uncle, please sell it to me, although I don't know when I will be able to pay it off, and I don't know how long it will take to fight in the future because of this, but I don't want my future me to regret that I didn't do anything today, just like Taeyeon said, how can I know if it's right or wrong if I don't take action." The future is up to me in the future to decide, and now I only need to do what I need to do now, instead of taking care of this and that, and in the end I will lose everything. So...... Uncle Jiang, please sell it to me! ”

With a deep bow, Jiang Xingguo was silent, looking at the girls who bowed to him with Lee Soon-gyu, he was silent. Years of training in society have made him see a lot clearly, and he has avoided a lot, seen the essence of money in this society, and avoided those fragile feelings. I once thought that the feelings without any impurities had long been lost on the road of growth with the increase of knowledge, and the growing age was lost, but in fact, they were not lost, but they have been pressed by themselves at the bottom of their hearts until a certain time to dig out of their hearts.

"Okay." A simple word is the happiest news for Lee Soon-gyu and the others today.

"Uncle, thank you!"

"But...... "Adults always like to say half and leave half when they talk, and the word 'but' is suddenly so annoying.

"But you have to hire me, and if I sell the café, I won't live anywhere, and sleeping on the street will affect the city." Jiang Xingguo pretended to be helpless and spread his hands, "As for the salary, I will wait for the café to start making a profit, I believe you will not let me down." The smile seemed to be back to its original appearance.

"But when it will be profitable, I can't predict." Spreading out his hands and shrugging his shoulders, Lee Soon-gyu also pretended to be helpless.

"By the way, the down payment ......"

"Put the down payment first, go home and discuss it with your family first, adults have much more knowledge than you, where to pay attention to They also know, uncle is not in a hurry to sell now."

"Inside, thank you, uncle."

At this time, no one knew that because their choice now would be greatly rewarded in the future, the value of this coffee shop in the future is immeasurable, and its fame is not only because of a TV series, but also because of the fame brought by themselves. In the same way, it has also become one of the must-visit holy places for every SONE who comes to South Korea to see them, and Lee Soon-gyu's President Lee is also famous among fans.
