The vast masses of the people began to search for the so-called "interview oppa," and the result was only a photo of Lee Seung-hyun holding a child taken by a fan on the set......
The otaku boys and girls cried, their goddess had really become an auntie......
However, no matter how lively the online discussions were, they had nothing to do with Lee Seung-hyun. He didn't even go online to look at these things. He was now splitting himself in two, taking care of little Huhu and finishing up the preparations for the coffee shop's opening. The main issue was that he couldn't find any staff, sigh!
If you put up a notice at your own shop's entrance, it would be strange if you could find anyone......
There was no way around it; who could blame him for having to take care of a child and not being able to devote all his energy to the coffee shop? He was already overwhelmed with work.
These were all secondary issues. What troubled him more was the inquiries from his acquaintances and friends:
"OPPA, oppa?" This was from his younger sister, Lee Chae-rin.
"I think we should keep our distance!" This was from his mischief-making friend, Hong Chan-min.
"!" This was from another close friend, Choi Ji-jung.
"My son is as beautiful as I was when I was young!" This was from his irresponsible mother.
......
"Seung-hyun oppa, you have to call me senior now!"
At this moment, Lee Seung-hyun was on the phone with a little junior from his taekwondo days, a 1993-born girl named Ji-yeon. It had been so many years, he didn't even remember her, but he remembered the little dinosaur who liked to make dinosaur sounds and was quite cute.
They had trained at the same dojang, but they didn't have much interaction. However, once, when he answered a call on his birthday, the little girl overheard and discovered they had the same birthday. Until he went to high school, she always followed him around like a little tail.
But it had been four years since he started high school......
"Why, little dinosaur?"
"Don't call me little dinosaur, my name is Park Ji-yeon, Park Ji-yeon!"
Okay, very good, I'll change the note later, otherwise it will be awkward......
"Okay, I know, Ji-yeon!"
"I guest-starred in a drama in March, and now you've acted in 'Cafe Prince No. 1,' so I'm your senior in acting, hahaha!" The excited little girl made another dinosaur sound.
"Ji-yeon, you must have seen it wrong. I'm at home studying, where did I act in 'No. 1'?" Lee Seung-hyun would never admit it.
"No way, it's you, I'd recognize you even if you turned to ashes!"
What a grudge......
"Ji-yeon, we haven't seen each other for four years, right? How could you remember what I look like? I'm a messy uncle now!"
"No way, after you left, Teacher Kim was very unhappy and said you were on the wrong path, wasting your talent. So I trained every day looking at your photos, vowing to beat you one day and make you apologize to Teacher Kim......"
What a simple and cute little girl, but looking at me every day... even my mom didn't do that...
But speaking of Teacher Kim, searching his memory, he chuckled, he was indeed a stern old man......
"I don't believe it. Knowing Teacher Kim, how could he let you act in a drama..." Lee Seung-hyun found this a bit strange.
The little girl was a bit embarrassed, "I thought I was too pretty to waste, so I secretly went to an audition... and got kicked out of the dojang..." Her voice got softer, she knew it was embarrassing.
These days, girls are so narcissistic? Little dinosaur is like this, and Huhu's mom is like this......
Chatting with this little girl was exhausting, but he didn't have the heart to hang up. Just then, a girl came in, apparently to apply for a job, so Lee Seung-hyun said, "Ji-yeon, I have something to do, we'll talk next time. And that person on TV isn't me, it might just look like me, besides, that person is a woman!"
Saying that, Lee Seung-hyun hung up. He didn't know that a certain little dinosaur was lying on her bed, staring at a photo frame in her hand.
In the photo frame, a little girl around ten years old was giving a V sign and smiling happily on the back of a teenager around fourteen or fifteen, while the red-haired teenager had a gloomy expression.
Park Ji-yeon recognized her old oppa as soon as she saw the last episode of 'Cafe Prince,' he was still so handsome. She had been waiting for him to call her for years, but it had been four years. She decided to take the initiative this time...
Haha, oppa is getting cuter, even lying that it's a woman, don't you know I never watch dramas? Now you're exposed......
The feelings of an eleven-year-old and a fifteen-year-old girl towards the opposite sex are completely different......
......
The scene shifts back to Lee Seung-hyun. Little Huhu had peed again, so Lee Seung-hyun had to change his diaper while responding to the girl who had come in, "Applying for a job? Please wait a moment!"
Now, Lee Seung-hyun's speed was incomparable to before. In no time, it was done!
He then had the chance to look at the girl in front of him. She had a small, pretty, and cute face, and looked to be around sixteen years old!
A girl like this should be a star, why come to work?
"Little girl, how old are you? Does your family allow you to work?" Lee Seung-hyun smiled kindly.
"My name is Han Seung-yeon, I'm twenty years old! I can make my own decisions!" The girl was a bit nervous but couldn't help but think, this uncle has a child, but he looks less than thirty.
There's no way, my beard isn't long enough to affect my overall appearance...
Damn, you're a year older than me, why do you look so young?
Let's ignore the age issue, "Do you want a full-time or part-time job?"
"Excuse me, do you not recognize me?" The girl asked hopefully.
Han Seung-yeon, the lead singer of the four-member girl group KARA, launched by DSP Media in 2007, but her debut failed, and the group was in a semi-dormant state. Han Seung-yeon not only appeared on some fishing variety shows but also had to work part-time to supplement her income.
This was like asking a blind person for directions. A person who didn't even know Liu Zaishi and Kang Ho-dong, how could he recognize KARA?
Seeing Lee Seung-hyun's puzzled look, Han Seung-yeon, though she had expected the result, was still a bit disappointed. She adjusted her mindset, "Mr. President, I want to work part-time! I have relevant experience, I worked in a cafe in the U.S...."
The more she talked, the more curious Lee Seung-hyun became. A returnee from abroad, coming to work part-time for him, he didn't care much, "5000 won per hour, at least five hours a day, meals provided! Any problems?"
The conditions Lee Seung-hyun offered weren't great, but they weren't bad either. But seeing the girl's unsatisfied look, "What's wrong?"
"Mr. President, can I make a small request?" Han Seung-yeon asked cautiously, looking at Lee Seung-hyun's face.
"Call me oppa!" This was taking advantage...
"I might have to leave if I get a call, is that okay?"
"Okay!"
"Can I get paid weekly?"
"Okay!"
"No problems!"
"When can you start tomorrow?"
"From 9 AM to noon, and after 8 PM..."
After sending Han Seung-yeon off, Lee Seung-hyun let out a long breath. His coffee shop was finally about to open. Just as he was about to stand tall and express his feelings, his precious son's cry brought him back to reality. Sigh, better take care of the little master first!
