Chapter 11 - Working Part-time

Seeing the woman in front of her extend her hand to open the gate made relief spread through Moon Jiwoo. The woman seemed to be in fifties, and seeing the slight smile on her face as the woman looked towards her, Jiwoo took her to be someone friendly.

"Daerin-ah, are you going for your part-time work?" The woman questioned as she held the open.

Moon Jiwoo did not recognize the woman in front of her. Nonetheless, it seemed that the woman recognized the owner of the body, and as the woman seemed to be only pleasant person she had seen so far after being in this body, she made a note on asking her few questions.

"Yes," Jiwoo answered, "I will be going then."

With those words of her, Moon Jiwoo slightly bowed and was about to past the woman. Jiwoo could be polite towards people she thought deserved that according to her.

As she was about to walk away, the woman said, "Wait, Daerin-ah!"

This caused for Moon Jiwoo to halt in her steps, and turning back, Jiwoo gave the woman a confused stare. Wearing a smile on her face, the woman walked towards Jiwoo and held within the woman's hand was a bottle of banana milk.

"Take this before you go to work; Work can get tiring," The woman stated whilst extending her hand with the bottle of banana milk.

Banana milk was something Jiwoo liked, and although the brand was not the same, she did not have a problem with it unless or until it tasted good.

Accepting it from the woman's hand, Jiwoo bowed and said, "Thank you for it, Ahjumma. How much do I need to pay for it though?"

The woman in front of her shook her head and voiced out, "You don't need to pay for it, Daerin-ah! This is a gift! Fighting!"

Feeling awkward about the situation, Moon Jiwoo forced out a smile upon her face and vocalised, "Yes, fighting!"

She was desperate to get out of here. However, she had no idea on what to do to earn money. There was no entertainment company around here or upcoming audition.

Moon Jiwoo let out a sigh.

'Yah! Find me some jobs. If I stay jobless, how am I going to earn money if I do not have a job?'

"I told you yesterday that there are jobs— the grocery store and two fried chicken restaurant. You would not find the entertainment jobs easily here in Busan, and if you deal with entertainment job, you do realize that you have sign a contract. Moreover, without being debuted, you would not be able to earn much."

Those words from Minnie made Jiwoo come into a realization, and she realised that Minnie was right. Since the owner of the body was quite young, she could pursue her acting or idol career after being finished with the missions.

'Since I am left with no options, I will give the two a try. However, if they do not work out, you have to find me a new sets of jobs, which are better.'

"Yes, yes, I will certainly be doing that," Minnie stated, "But try to at least cope up with the situation. This is not the richer part of the society after all."
