Rebirth: King to Superstar

Joon-won had a nice movie night and learned more about the standards of acting after seeing the movie. After the movie was over, he quickly jumped on the bed and fell asleep. He still had work tomorrow.

Waking up the next day, he followed the same routine and got fresh before going to work. It was the same as yesterday, Eum Kyung was busy dealing with the morning rush of students and office workers. Before going to the back and changing clothes, he decided to have a light breakfast and so grabbed a few sandwiches to eat.

He walked up to Eum Kyung and said, "Good morning. Looks like it is as busy as always."

"Ah, Joon-won, you're finally here. Come help me already, I'm very tired." As he scanned the sandwiches.

Joon-won paid the money and said while grabbing the sandwiches, "Wait a minute. I'll finish these and.come out to help." Walking towards the back door. He could hear Eum Kyung's tired sigh as he continued working.

He didn't waste much time and quickly started having his breakfast. Gobbling up the sandwiches, he drank some water from the water bottle he had and changed clothes.

By the time he got out, he noticed Eum Kyung still working while there were customers around the store. He walked towards the counter quickly and took over as Eum Kyung tiredly fell on the chair, closing his eyes. Joon-won who just got on the job was much faster and quickly went through the customers.

After another 20 minutes, the store was finally empty and he could also sit down. They both talked a little and Joon-won got to know more about Eum Kyung. He was actually an aspiring novelist. After going home and taking a nap, he would write his novel. Eum Kyung even published a book last year even though it wasn't a big hit, it was ok. He had to work in the store because he needed some cash and was doing it for the last 3 months.

"It's really hard to get inspiration. I try very hard, but I just can't think of a good idea for a plot. Now the money I got from the last book is over and I am forced to do night shifts here." Eum Kyung exclaimed his problems.

Joon-won shook his head and advised, "You know what, bring me your book tomorrow and I'll read it when I have free time. I can give feedback."

Eum Kyung nodded and got up to change his clothes. As he went through the back door, Gah Soo came into the store.

"Oh, Joon-won good morning. Where is Eum Kyung?" She quickly greeted him.

"Oh, you are here on time today. Well, he just went to change his clothes and leave." Pointing towards the back door. She nodded and walked away to get ready. After a bit both of them walked out and Eum Kyung went away.

Their shift continued, and it was a smooth sailing as there were only a couple of ladies who walked in during that time, and both of them continued to talk. Gah Soo was the one to mainly talk as Joon-won just listened.

"That teacher is so annoying. He is a complete pervert and also dumb. I mean, who doesn't know about investments? Even a person walking outside with zero knowledge about finance knows what it is. He used that dumb question to try and get closer to a girl." She huffed angrily while ranting on about her university problems.

"I don't know about Investments. What is it?" Joon-won interjected before she could continue.

"What? You don't know about investing? Are you dumb?" She looked at him like an alien which in response only got a deadpanned response from him as he was only looking for an answer, not sarcastic remarks. He was curious because she exclaimed that everyone knew what it was.

"Alright, gosh, don't look at me like that. Ill tell you what it is." And proceeded to feed some basic knowledge about what investment really was, and she looked completely proud while she did it.

'We give others' money in return we get something called shares? And later we can sell shares to earn money?' the topic fascinated him.

"Don't think it's very easy to invest in a company. There were many cases where people lost all their wealth because of one bad investment decision. People should do so much research before they invest. It's very hard as the market is highly unstable." She warned him when she noticed the look of fascination.

He nodded at her warning. He also didn't completely believe it would be a walk in the park for people to gain money all the time.

"Do you also invest?" He asked her curiously. He wanted to know more.

She held her chin high once again and nodded she said, "Of course I did. But my investment is short term and a small amount of money. So my profit is also very small."

'Bigger the investment, Bigger the risk, hence Bigger the reward.' he came to a conclusion.

"Do you want to try investing?" She looked at him curiously.

He shook his head and said, "No, I don't have that much spare money to invest in companies. Also, this is like gambling and it's too risky for me. Probably in the future but not now." He was dirt poor. He can't give other's money.

"That's good, don't invest when you don't have much money. If you ever do then consult me once, I can help you choose a good company." She patted her chest with confidence.

He nodded, and both continued on with their shift until Joon-won left at 1 with some food in his hands.
