Here
Hey, Chang-min
How are you?
Not great but good
How are you?
As always
nothing special
You seem taller than before
You say that all the time
- Did you order coffee? - Yes
When you told me that you got a job
was it.. last summer?
It has been 6 months
How is the new job?
I quitted
Why?
I was supposed to supply bolts and do business in Russia
So that I could leave Korea as a business trip
But the war is never ending
There is no work to do
so going to work was useless
Right, the war really is never ending
So, are you looking for a new job?
Not really, I’m just resting
It has been a month
It hasn't been that long
I’ve heard that these days people spend at least three months to get a job
Actually!
It has been three months
Ah, you are following the trend
Very nice
Just
Yes
Hey
What did you do when you were 30?
I
I probably was working
How did you feel?
when you turned 30
In the International age?
In the International age
When you calculate your International age in Naver
Like, when a medical certificate from a hospital or pharmacy says that you have turned in to thirty
That moment
You are thirty years old now?
Yes..
There is nothing special
Really?
Yeah, there is nothing special
When I was 26 or 27
I thought I would become something when I turn 30
Work, marriage, car, house... Things like that
I thought I could pay for it whenever I go to a meeting
But
I had that thought until I was 29 years old
Then, when I turned 30 years old
Then there's nothing special
It's exactly how I felt when I was 29
Twenty ni~
Twenty ni~~
Twenty ni~~~
Twenty ni~~~~
Twenty ni~~~~~
I felt like just twenty ni~~~~~ne
I guess there's not much to it
Nothing special~
I think there's something, but there's nothing
That's exactly what I am right now
So
I think it's weird
I'm feeling it right now
When I think about myself turning 30 when I was young
I was thinking of someone who was just successful
or someone who didn't feel like I would be
But
It isn't that
It's just me who's older
Everyone's the same
When you're young, you think you'll become something when you're old
Yes, I did..
I became X...
Oh, I'm so nervous all of a sudden?
Since I'm turning 30
I feel like people around me are treating me like an old person
In your 20s, your family and people around you nag, right?
But there's no one like that after turning 30, right?
I'm really nervous about that
It's like a barrier?
When I quit my job
I don't think that I'm immature
but I think I'm just a moron
When I was in my 20s
Passion!
Enthusiasm!
Youth!
I believed these and just pushed ahead..
Should I say that I'm a bit lazy to meet a girl?
Anyway, it's hard to meet people like I did when I was young
I don't think so yet?
That's because I'm unemployed
When you live worn out by work
even playing games starts to feel like a hassle after a while
If you suddenly say "jobless" in front of a jobless person while looking at me
Anyway, it’s different from what I thought
I do start to feel a little anxious
Right?
While you keep feeling anxious like that, you will end up turning forty
Oh, that’s true...
I guess I need to start preparing to turn forty now
Back in the day, the people we called aunts and uncles were in their forties
and now it’s about to be “older brother” and “older sister”
Like you
Sigh
It hits me hard
Turning thirty didn’t feel like much
but when I think about forty
there’s something there!
Now that I think about it
that must’ve been what turning thirty felt like
