jae would only have hangul in his entries but to make life easy on y'all:
A suit came to the shop today. Strolled in looking like one of the way too present lately suits wandering Pico trying to make it theirs. Someone who could be a customer but looks too out of place to really be one, ya know? I was ready to tell him to get fucked or make him disappear with some shears and twine but Obaa came out and greeted him before I could. She said they had a lunch appointment and she'd be back and asked me to stick around after closing, that she had something to talk to me about. Kinda felt obvious that something must be going on, she was probably being pressured to sell. She's owned this building for longer than I've been alive but they probably want to tear it to shreds if they can get their hands on it. Or turn it into some cheesy branded florist shop instead.
I'm not wrong much but I can admit when I am. And I was.
He was a lawyer. But he was her lawyer. No one is pressuring her into selling and if they were she told me they'd have to pry it from her dead hands or die themselves trying. I love that batty old girl.
Her daughters all help out at the shop like they have their whole lives but none of them want it. She knows they'd do their best to keep it in her honor but feels like they wouldn't love the shop like she does. Like we both do. Obaachan wants to leave me the shop in her will or pass the torch to me if she decides to retire. Considering she'll probably outlive us all and would have to be forcibly removed to get her to leave Sakurako, there won't be new ownership for thousands of years but it's something to think on she told me. I don't think I ever thought of doing this long term, it was just a job at first and then I couldn't ever imagine abandoning Obaa. But at the same time...it's nice to think about I guess. I don't really have many goals or plans for myself and I think she knows that and she's trying to make sure I'm always taken care of like the grandmother she is.
I'll think about it. Mimi would love it, I bet.
