Seochon / Inwangsan, Seoul • Cafe
Even in autumn, the promised Sunday will come. There will be years of busy days going on. Even so, I want to capture that day with effort as long as the fall is short. Maybe, if there are people who come to see my writing in the space I visited, I want to keep it as a coincidence place where I bow my head and say hello. Wouldn't it be a perfect place for a coincidence if it was a landscape embroidered with splendor under a huge tree? Expect. - Promised Sunday - When did it become awkward to divide the weekend from the weekday? Most of the time I open my eyes every day is spent working. If I had to divide it by occupation, it would be 'architect, influencer, writer, brand director' according to the words promised by society. So, I am a person who is greedy to do these things well. Everyone loves it and they still love it. Therefore, after waking up, they change jobs several times a day. But I really don't think so. However, as a person who cares about society, I am thinking about 'how can space change the world?' Its expression is sometimes expressed as 'architecture', sometimes 'posts on SNS', sometimes as 'articles of various genres' about space, and at other times it is simply expressed as 'story of the brand'. - That's how busy life is. So, the weekend, which was recognized as a day off, and the weekday, which was recognized as a working day, are meaningless to me. Thanks to this, I often encounter situations where I have to constantly overcome my physical limitations, but at the same time, it is a rewarding life to check every day that there is no limit to satisfaction. - 'The day when you are promised to do something. I am very happy to do the promised work. It's as if you're doing something you've only seen in movies yourself, so there's a sense of happiness that the main character and I match the scene.' - Luckily, it was a day when things that were not restricted in the physical space of 'Saturday and Sunday' overlapped. Moreover, water is leaking from the air conditioner in the house. I simply leave the house with the book and laptop I wanted to read. It's not that there's nothing to do, but it's relatively free, so I'm going to enjoy the joy of leaving home, 'Igarak'. So it came out in the morning. But my enjoyment is nothing. It is difficult for me to go anywhere for a long time on this hot day as I have a lot of heat. So I decided to go on vacation. The more personal the space is, the cooler and free from chores, the easier it is to feel free. Consider the remaining balance in your bank account each month and choose the best space to rest and write. The hotel we arrived at was quite expensive, but with the help of modern civilization, we were able to stay at a reasonable price. It was thanks to the unexpected discount on the reservation site because I lived abroad for a long time before the outbreak of Corona a few years ago. go up to check in. It's not a fancy lobby. I like it though. In fact, it's a luxurious place to be ashamed to say that you escaped because of a leak in your air conditioner. I thought that I was enjoying the cold sweat for a while because of the luxury of trying, so I wanted to go into the room quickly. The power of the 4th stage of the corona virus was truly incredible. The number of things to do at hotel check-in has multiplied. A lengthy guide to ID and temperature checks, limiting the number of guests, strict regulations and check-out procedures. It takes more than 10 minutes in Taiwan to listen and answer everything. It's embarrassing for the first time, but the embarrassment soon disappears at the thought of going to a temporary place to stay for the weekend. - You don't have much luggage to unpack when you arrive in your room. But once you wash it. Being a fever person who sweats easily on a hot day, put aside the things you should do and wash your body first. After washing it out, I feel so much fresher. A notebook and laptop that I take out. Keep them ready at any time and schedule your to-dos for the weekend. When I list them one by one and move the things recorded in the notebook, nine things have already been decided. I came here expecting to be able to take a rest, but today's rest was too short. There are 4 letters to be written and 4 emails to be sent. And there are plans to make. But where is this? Aren't you doing something called a vacation in the space at the mouth of Jongno? I took comfort in it and had to spend Saturday like that. - I barely woke up my body that ran until dawn on Sunday morning. I think I slept soundly thanks to the blackout curtains, which are hard to see in residential spaces. At the same time, I sleep with the air conditioner on, so I feel less tired than yesterday's work load. Still, I commend myself for being overworked and finished yesterday. - Thanks to you, Sunday is a day off. Luckily, we had a plan that allowed us to check out at 18:00. So, I quickly wash my body and prepare to go out. Today, I decided to just bring a book. There is a place I want to visit nearby. I like brick the most among building materials because there is a nice brick space somewhere in Seochon. Of course, Jongno-gu has a lot of nice modern brick spaces, so it's a neighborhood I love. Anyway, before the heat gets strong, hurry up and hurry your steps. - The space we arrived at was on a hill. And a huge brick building lying on top of that hill. In the front yard, there is a huge tree suitable for the size of the building. Because it is a hill, the wind blows well. Huge trees cover the sweltering heat of summer. I don't know how long Sunday morning coffee. Isn't that a scene you see in a movie? 'In movies, I always drink espresso on Sunday morning.' I also try espresso. A few years ago, I used to enjoy espresso wherever I went, but I can't do that anymore because I lost my health to time. Still, 'when will a day like today come again?' and wait for coffee. - Take a small cup of coffee and sit in the shade of a huge tree. Blowing wind. It seems that many villagers in comfortable clothes visit this place on Sunday mornings. Everyone but me is dressed in comfortable clothes, enjoying reading or talking to someone I'm with. Thanks to that atmosphere, I feel like the main character in a movie enjoying my leisure life while having coffee in a beautiful space on a Sunday morning. - Sunday is a very subtle day. For some it's the busiest working day, for some it's a full day off, and for someone like me, it's a lucky day off, but it's a uniquely normal day off. So, on that promised day, which many people call a day off, I am now doing what I promised to do that day. It deviated from the values I had dreamed of in my life, but it wasn't too bad. No, I'm rather happy. Maybe I was envious of those who live in a boring paradise out of their busy daily life without realizing it. That's why I get drunk in that atmosphere and look around the space without doing anything. fun. Some brought their puppies, while others came dressed up and played a photo shoot with someone. I don't know what kind of interesting thing it is, but I can see a group of people talking seriously with their brows full of strength. But in general, the expression is relaxed. It was an early morning when it was not crowded, but the summer scene, with the moderate temperature wind blowing and the heat removed, matched the relaxed expression. - The combination of green trees and blue sky in a red space is like soy sauce egg rice. A steady taste that you never get tired of eating at any time. Perhaps this space resembles its taste. It is a relatively ordinary story of doing the promised work on the promised day, but it was a very happy moment for me. - End of #Stafix story. - ----<This is an introduction to space, but it is also a reality novel based on facts.
