When he was about to get a hold of himself, other people came up to him.
“Sorry?”
The person in charge behind the curtain came out and demanded answers. YongHo’s head started spinning rapidly.
When YongHo posed himself, the opponent also became quiet. He couldn’t say the truth that he knew after seeing the bug window, so he barely made an excuse.
“…And so?”
“I’m not asking about that. I’m asking how did you know where the error was without even looking at the source?”
“Hey, did you upload the program source anywhere? Or did you show it to this person?”
If one leaked sources, then one may be suspected as an industrial spy and be punished. And it also seemed that they saw YongHo for the first time.
He brought up what he was thinking, but didn’t say out loud. If he excluded all the impossible scenarios then there was one left. Hacking.
It was YongHo who instead, raised his voice. He said it as if to make them feel that he wasn’t the one in the wrong, reading the source.
“Did you edit the source here yesterday?”
“*Sigh*…….”
If he peeked from behind, then it was, instead, within reason.
“What were you thinking when you were editing here without considering who might read the source!?”
Senior researcher Na’s excuse instead made the person in charge more angry.
Looking at the angry person in charge, YongHo was thinking something different.
His thought, for a moment, calmed down his pounding heart, thinking that safely passed this crisis.
“Here, eat one.”
‘And how does he find this so well.’
The loosened tension made him want sweet stuff so YongHo quickly ate the sweet bean bread.
The opening event ended, and the system started stabilizing as time went on. The endless complaints from the opening period also decreased.
‘Mom doesn’t even have a decent bag.’
Although it was brief, YongHo saw it clearly.
It seemed as if he lost weight unlike when he was young, as his sleeves and pant legs hung on his limbs, and they even looked empty and they were decolored and even seemed floppy.
He stopped working for a moment and looked around the stores. When YongHo stepped into a brand store which he heard about, it was full of people.
When he looked at the price tag, one bag was over 1 million won(≈ 870USD). The only time he spent more than 1 million won in one go was when he payed for his university tuition.
Someone approached YongHo, who was agonized whether to buy the bag or not.
The sweet scent which attacked his noise made him forget about his labor from the past month, albeit briefly.
“Who? Are you giving it to your girlfriend?”
YongHo said bitterly.
Dating. Marriage. Childbirth – it meant that this generation had given up on these three things. YongHo also had given up these things, but he could see hope now.
At Jeong DanBi’s words, YongHo nodded. She was really quick witted.
Jeong DanBi put down the bag YongHo was holding back to the showcase, and she dragged him while grabbing his arm.
‘T, two million won(≈1,740USD)?’
However, the price was in the two millions even with a discount, and that made him hesitate to pick up.
After looking around the various items, Jeong DanBi said to the store staff as if she decided.
“T, team Leader.”
Two million was still a lot to him.
“This is an incentive for the business trip to Busan this time, so you don’t have to worry about it. We bought mother’s… so shall we go look at your father’s?”
He didn’t want to stop her enjoyment.
YongHo, who had stuff on both of his hands, including a suit and a bag, looked quite tired.
“This probably will make her look older than she is…”
“This brand looked alright though…” (T/N: All spoken by JDB, if you haven’t noticed.)
After buying the bag, Jeong DanBi also payed for YongHo’s father’s suit. As a price, YongHo earned exhaustion. Jeong DanBi looked around various stores to buy the suit, and that process was hell for YongHo, who was not used to shopping.
It wasn’t like she selected a gift for someone else, but for his own parents, so he couldn’t stop her or anything.
“Ohh, this is an expensive brand. Are you getting out the prize money now?”
“N, no. It’s not me who bought it, but team leader Jeong DanBi, saying it was a present for the business trip to Busan…….”
“Haha, well. If it’s you, head researcher, then she will probably buy you something more expensive.”
“Yes.”
“Bomb it?”
Leaving a suspicious smile, Son SeokHo went back to Seoul. Now, there was only 3 days left of the business trip to Busan.
After solving the transaction error on the Magic Mirror, YongHo didn’t expect that he would converse with so many people.
“What do you mean identity, just a Shinseki employee.”
Researcher Na was blocking YongHo’s way. He didn’t seem like he would leave until he heard an answer.
“You may be able to fool someone who’s a senior researcher in name only, but it won’t go through me.”
He didn’t seem to believe YongHo’s lame excuses. He wouldn’t believe even if YongHo said the truth, so YongHo repeated the original declaration with a little more arrogance. He intended for the guy to stop sticking to him by showing his arrogant side.
“Wh, what?”
“R, really? This is easy?”
They had to recognize what the user’s action was from the image gotten from the machine, and they had to take the data according to the recognized motion.
“Yes.”
“A… *Sigh*….Are all of you in your team like that?”
“Do I need to tell you how my team members are?”
“Sorry?”
“If I went to your team, can I be like that too?”
“Well, I can just watch from the side. You said you were from the smart shopping strategy team, right? I’m Na DaeBang. Lemme learn that ‘eyes for reading sources’. I considered myself quite capable in my own way… I considered myself the best in the company, in a way, but the world is sure wide.”
Now, YongHo’s loud voice instead became smaller. Looking at such YongHo, the guy who introduced himself as Na DaeBang held out his hand.
Then he made a smile that made him look like a mountain bandit. He looked conspicuous from the beginning.
‘What the heck is this guy saying?’
Shinseki Magic Mirror’s core developer.
Such a man held his hand out towards YongHo.
