Hi Aoi — I'm Sora, a bus dispatcher in Daejeon. You wrote that the repair shop is yours two days a week now. What was your first day alone like?
Very quiet for the first hour, then three people arrived together. One needed air, one had a loose chain, and one only wanted to talk to my uncle. I fixed the chain first because I knew exactly what to do.
Why did you choose the chain before the easy air job?
Because I needed to prove it to myself before I could smile at the man waiting for my uncle. Air would have looked like I was avoiding the real repair. Once the chain was running smoothly, the rest of the morning felt normal.


Do you still keep that notebook? I would like to hear what is in it now.
그 공책을 지금도 쓰고 있는지 궁금해요.
