Extra Story 65: Job Interview (2)

Uncle’s interview began.

He must really like Siha, considering he listens to everything despite finding it annoying.

“Are you really writing this down properly?”

“Yes!”

Uncle looked at Siha’s interview with suspicious eyes.

Having received information that Sihyuk writes things down strangely during interviews, he couldn’t help but be suspicious.

Siha, however, didn’t pay any attention to her uncle’s reaction and held out the microphone.

Interview continues.

“What kind of work did Uncle do?”

“Spy.”

“Spy?!”

“Yeah.”

“What’s a spy?”

“Why are you surprised if you don’t even know that?”

“I was just surprised for the sake of it.”

Uncle gave her a dumbfounded look.

He pondered how to explain.

“It’s like secretly pretending to be on the enemy’s side.”

“So that’s why Uncle is good at lying.”

“No! No. Or is it?”

“Spies are good at lying.”

“Why are you writing that kind of answer!”

Well, isn’t it because it’s a fact?

He is good at lying when teasing Siha.

“Then, next question. Mr. Uncle.”

“Saying ‘Mr. Uncle’ makes it sound like my name is Uncle.”

“Then, Mr. Lee Hwasang.”

“That’s not my real name!”

“Uncle is a spy, so you don’t have to use your real name.”

“I retired a long time ago……”

“Then, Mr. Uncle.”

“Fine. Call me whatever you want.”

“Was being a spy fun?”

“No. It was brutal.”

“Why?”

“You can’t get caught.”

Siha scribbled and started writing in her notebook.

“Enjoyed the thrill.”

“I didn’t enjoy it! Do you think it’s some kind of amusement park?”

“Yes. Next.”

“Listen to me.”

Siha ignored her uncle’s words and continued the interview.

“Were there any difficult things?”

“Uncle is excellent, so even if difficult things happened, I solved them quickly.”

“Really?”

“Of course. Most things can be solved with a gun.”

This time, I looked at my uncle as if I was dumbfounded.

Seriously. Why would you say something like that so casually?

“Uncle. Isn’t that answer a bit much?”

“No. Siha needs to know now. Sometimes, powerful force can solve most things.”

I slapped him on the back.

Uncle scratched his back as if it stung.

“That hurts.”

“I hit you to make it hurt.”

Siha wrote something diligently.

“Most things are solved with a gun.”

“You don’t have to write that!”

“Okay.”

Siha crossed out two lines.

Uncle was shocked.

“That’s the most important thing! In America, guns are for self-defense!”

“Yes. I understand. But this is Korea.”

Siha fired off the next interview question.

“What’s the most important thing when working as a spy?”

“Fighting skills.”

“Fighting skills!”

Is that right?

Not deceiving and being deceived?

“Then, the last question. If you were born again, would you do this job again?”

“No!”

“Then, what job would you do?”

“I’d be born with a silver spoon in my mouth and do nothing. Hahaha!”

Siha diligently wrote those words in her notebook.

“Next time, I want to be unemployed from birth.”

Uncle heard that mumbling.

“You should write that you want to be born with a silver spoon in your mouth!”

“A silver spoon unemployed.”

“You can leave out the unemployed part.”

“That’s the most important thing.”

It was eventful, but somehow the interview with Uncle came to an end.

Ah. That was tough.

“Now I have to interview Hyung [Older brother/male friend] Baekdong. Hyung. Let’s contact Hyung Baekdong.”

“Ah. Should we?”

I don’t know if Baek Donghwan will have time.

I haven’t seen him lately.

We keep in touch, but we’ve been busy, so there hasn’t been much contact.

“Then let’s call him.”

“Okay!”

I pressed the call button.

After a few rings, Baek Donghwan answered the phone.

「Hyungnim [Term of respect for an older male]! What’s going on! You’re calling me!」

My ears are about to fall off.

I could tell he was healthy just by his voice.

He seems to be doing well.

“I don’t have anything to say, but Siha has something to say to you.”

「Really? I’m so honored. Siha has something to say to me.」

“It’s not that honorable.”

「Just a moment. I need to record this. I have to keep it for a long time.」

“It’s not that big of a deal. Calm down.”

He seemed to really like that Siha contacted him.

I handed the phone to Siha.

“Hello. Hyung Baekdong.”

「Oh. Siha. Hello~」

“Hello!”

「But what’s going on, Siha?」

“I have to do a job interview with Hyung Baekdong. I’m going with Seungjun and Hana.”

「Job interview? Voice actor?」

“Yes. Voice actor. It’s a school assignment.”

「Really? Siha is interviewing me about my job. It’s really an honor to my family. I should record it too.」

“Why?”

「Hahaha! Of course, I have to keep it on record. This doesn’t happen often.」

“That’s true.”

It certainly wasn’t a common occurrence.

As expected of a voice actor, he immediately thinks of recording.

「Siha. Should I give a lecture at school if possible!」

“Yes!”

No. No. Why are you giving a lecture without permission? Why did Siha even allow that?

I need to stop him now.

“Stop it. When are you free?”

「Hmm. Just a moment. Let me check my schedule.」

Seeing him check his schedule, I thought he was really working hard.

Well, since he’s a voice actor, there must be things he has to do according to the broadcast schedule.

「I’m free on Saturday. How about we meet then? Siha. Ask the other kids what they think.」

“Hyung Baekdong. I’m also free on Saturday. Seungjun and Hana will probably be free too?”

「Seungjun and Hana are coming?」

“Yes.”

「Just in case, Siha, ask them one more time.」

“Okay. Hyung Baekdong, let’s have fun on Saturday.”

No. Having fun? What about the interview?

「Hmm. What should I prepare for Saturday.」

You don’t have to prepare anything!

It’s an interview, what are you trying to prepare?

「If possible, a camping interview…….」

I grabbed the phone that Siha was holding.

It was on speaker mode, so he would hear my voice, but I was that desperate.

“What camping interview? We don’t have time to go camping, so hang up.”

「That’s a shame.」

“It’s not a shame at all?”

How can he say such horrifying things so casually?

“Then I’ll see you on Saturday. Bye~”

「Okay. Let me know the time later.」

“Okay!”

The call ended.

I almost went on a day trip camping.

Day trips are absolutely not allowed.

“Hyung.”

“Yeah?”

“We have to interview the art teacher too.”

“Ah. Really?”

It’s going to be a busy Saturday.

A day spent running around for interviews.

But do we have to do this many interviews?

Logically speaking, I didn’t think the homeroom teacher would give this much homework?

“The homeroom teacher didn’t give this much homework, did she?”

“Huh? Yes! I’m doing it because I want to interview them.”

“Yeah. I thought so.”

Fortunately, Seungjun and Hana’s houses were in the same situation as mine.

I’m glad I’m not the only one.

***

Siha, Seungjun, Hana.

The Three Musketeers gathered.

They greeted each other with high fives.

Why do they always greet each other as if they haven’t seen each other in a long time?

I guess it’s because they’re that close.

“Thank you for arranging this interview because of our kids. I appreciate it.”

Seungjun’s mom said to me with a smile.

“No. It would have happened even if it wasn’t for Seungjun and Hana.”

“Still. The kids will be here all day. I don’t know who they take after with so much energy.”

“It’s good that they’re finding things to do on their own.”

“Sometimes I wish they wouldn’t.”

“Hahaha. Sometimes the stamina doesn’t keep up.”

I understand.

It’s not easy when your stamina doesn’t keep up.

“Hyung. Come quickly.”

“Okay.”

The first place we visited was the art teacher’s house.

Bae Sanghyun opened the door and smiled softly when he saw the children.

“Art Teacher! Hello!”

“Hello.”

“Hello.”

The three children greeted him.

Seungjun’s mom and I also bowed slightly.

“Welcome. Come in.”

The twins looked around the house with curiosity.

Bae Sanghyun stared at Siha and the twins.

“I never thought this day would come.”

I guess he feels like his son brought friends home.

“Seungjun. Hana. Come here. I’ll show you something amazing.”

Siha started introducing Bae Sanghyun’s house as if it were her own.

First, the room with the paintings that Siha worked hard on.

And the room used for classes.

Up to the second floor, to the PC room that Bae Sanghyun made arbitrarily.

“How is it? This is amazing, right? It’s a PC room.”

Seungjun looked surprised.

“Wow. It’s a real PC room!”

“Oppa [Older brother/male friend]. There are so many computers. Wow.”

The children couldn’t take their eyes off the computers.

Hey, kids. We didn’t come to see the room, we came for an interview today?

Somehow, they’ve already taken a seat in front of the computer.

Bae Sanghyun came to my side.

“I investigated when I brought my friends.”

“Yes?”

When did you investigate that?

Ah. Could it be from when I told you they were coming?

“Pizza, chicken, hamburger. If you order the three-piece set, they’ll love it. When should I order?”

“Wouldn’t you order that for a birthday party? Usually, you’d go for a hamburger to save money.”

“But I invited them to my house.”

“They can’t eat it all if you order all that?”

“I’ll heat up the leftovers and eat them.”

“Yes?”

What kind of investigation did you do?

More than that, who told you that?!

“They’d like it even more if you delivered ice cream for dessert.”

“I’m not going that far? No. Why are you trying to order it first?!”

“I thought this would be a good opportunity…….”

What kind of opportunity? An opportunity to score points?

Don’t people usually say thank you to the person who requested the interview for accepting?

Why is the person being interviewed thinking of treating us?

Well…. Since we stopped by the art teacher’s house, he can treat us…….

No. I should come to my senses at times like this.

“How about we proceed with the interview first and then think about it?”

“It’ll be here if I order it in the meantime…….”

“Yes. I understand. Let’s do that.”

Somehow, the art teacher seemed excited.

Let’s let him do everything he wants to do.

Seungjun’s mom smiled bitterly while being with the children in the PC room.

“It’s a space that the kids will love too much. Dangerously.”

I guess it’s a bit like that from a mother’s point of view?

A PC room in the house.

But that’s also a man’s dream?!

What am I trying to excuse in my mind?

So I just laughed it off with a hahaha.

“The art teacher is going to order pizza and chicken for the kids?”

“Yes?! No. You don’t have to do that.”

“He really wants to do it.”

“The art teacher must really like the kids.”

“Hahaha. Right.”

Anyway, we ended up ordering pizza and chicken.

I stopped the hamburger.

It seemed a bit too much.

“I investigated the pizza, and this pizza is the one the kids like the most. I added more toppings and cheese crust. What do you think?”

Bae Sanghyun was proudly showing off what he had investigated with a proud face.

Well. Wouldn’t kids like anything?

They’re not the kind of kids who are picky.

“I think it’s good.”

“Yes. Me too. Then I’ll order it.”

Still, there are 6 people including children and adults, so I don’t think there will be much left over.

This isn’t a birthday party.

“I took away the hamburger, so I ordered ice cream too.”

“Yes?”

“Don’t worry. I’m thinking of ordering coffee for the adults later.”

That’s not what I was worried about?

I came here for an interview today and I’m going to be full.

I might not be able to eat anything when I meet Baek Donghwan.

“Kids. Should we stop playing on the computer and do the interview? We came here for an interview today.”

“Oh, that’s right!”

Siha clapped her forehead.

She must have forgotten for a moment because she was so engrossed in the computer.

Seungjun said.

“Can’t we just play one game?”

Hana pulled on Seungjun’s sleeve.

“Oppa. You always put off your homework like that. If you do it quickly, you can do more.”

“Ah, I can do it after this!”

“No!”

I laughed at the twins.

Because I could clearly picture their daily lives from the way they spoke.

Seungjun’s mom was holding her forehead as if she was embarrassed.

“Art Teacher.”

“Yeah?”

Siha was already next to the art teacher.

“Let’s start the interview. I’ve made some amazing questions.”

“Really?”

Siha. What’s with the amazing questions every day?

I remember the questionnaire being very ordinary.

“Quickly. Quickly.”

“Okay.”

We left the PC room behind and went back down to the first floor.

Seungjun was dragged away by Hana with a face full of regret.

“I wanted to play FIFA…….”

I guess he wanted to play a soccer game too?

That’s Seungjun-like.
