The place they were staying was in a motel. They had to save the money they had all they could. They didn’t have the money and leisure to sleep in a place like a hotel. And the rooms weren’t even individual, but 2 and 3 person rooms. Of course, they were boys and girls rooms. Before they headed to their respective rooms, Jo Minjoon said strictly.
“Don’t forget that you three are going to the market. You will probably have to get out at 5. So sleep well.”
But contrary to what he had said, he couldn’t fall asleep. It wasn’t that Anderson and Peter had bad sleeping habits. They didn’t snore, and didn’t grind their teeth. Only, he started to think many things in his head. Precisely speaking, those were words. What could he do to raise the income, and what to minimize the costs.
He had thought plentily, and even if he did think more and knew that it didn’t particularly change anything, he couldn’t stop feeling uneasy. The seat of the leader was like this. Those who didn’t know would feel this seat to be cool and honorable, but they rather felt more burdened.
‘Did I close the door?’
Jo Minjoon headed towards the door. The lock was closed. However, even looking at the closed lock, he couldn’t help but feel that it was opened.
With that uncomfortable feeling he returned to the bed, he just couldn’t get asleep.
He had already made the calculations of the income in his head, and he had also thought of the things that could happen from now on, so there was no way that he would fall asleep by using his head like that. Jo Minjoon kept thinking things that even he didn’t recognize in his head.
And then, the alarm rang.
His body felt so heavy as if it was pressed under a rock. Jo Minjoon slowly opened his eyes. He started to think that the time had already passed this quickly. He didn’t really feel as he had slept, but the flow of time was really fast to say that he was awake.
‘………I want to sleep more.’
Jo Minjoon blinked with difficulty and looked next to him. In the bed next to him was Anderson, and beyond him was Peter. They seemed to have woke up looking that they were wriggling, but they were still in a dazed state. Jo Minjoon let out a sigh. He had to at least wake him up. Jo Minjoon turned on the light and walked towards Peter.
“Hey, get up.”
“……..No, wait. I have something to think about.”
“Think about what? You are just sleepy. Get up. We have to go to the market.”
Jo Minjoon removed Peter’s blanket entirely. Peter struggled and got up with a dazed face. Jo Minjoon let out a sigh.
“If I were you, I would go a little bit earlier and rest later.”
“……..Okay. I will go.”
Putting aside the noise of the shower after Peter got in, Jo Minjoon lied down on the bed again and closed his eyes. He had to rest even a little more. Because he had to recover the most he could so he could endure this day.
‘What if I can’t sleep properly?’
“Minjoon, wake up!”
And his worry ended along with a bright voice. Jo Minjoon looked in front of him, still in a dazed state. Joanne’s bright blond hair got in his sight first. And her face was filled with a confident smile.
“I bought really good salmon for really cheap! I was able to buy it almost at the price of a processed good. With this, We will be able to make norimaki that’s more delicious than yesterday’s.”
“……….Didn’t you get out just now? You got so……..”
“What are you talking about? It’s already 8. Get up. Anderson went to wash himself.”
The sunlight was just as bright as her words. It was already morning. He felt rather sad. You originally don’t remember anything of having slept, but right at this moment, he didn’t even get the feeling that he had slept at all. Just a second ago, the memory of him trying to sleep and closed his eyes was really fresh, but for 3 hours to have passed.
However, he couldn’t get anymore late. Jo Minjoon hurriedly washed himself and went to the truck. The ingredients were almost identical to yesterday. Only the salmon was different. The frozen salmon belly fat showed a clear bright light and was proudly showing itself.
