About 1-2 years ago..
My sister, who knows my wife's family, went out to eat with her younger sister..
I took them there and
told them to call me when they were about to go home. I went back home.
My house is close to the restaurant.
When I get home..
In the past, she used to wear only panties,
but these days she wears a linen running suit and linen shorts for living and sleeping.
The running suit is quite old,
and it's stretched so much that you can see her breastbone..
It's perfect for wearing as pajamas at home.
After 2-3 hours, I got a call from my wife.
She told me to come pick them up.
I drove to the restaurant and called her after arriving.
But..
she told me to come in for a moment.
So.. I went in..
She was lying down, and her hair was messy..
It looked like she hadn't shaved for about two weeks.
Besides that, she was wearing stretched-out pajamas when she entered the restaurant..
My wife said..
I thought you wouldn't come in even if I told you to because of the way you were dressed.
So..
I just came in because she told me to. What's the problem..? I sat down next to her and ate with my sister, younger sister, and wife..
As we get older..
we tend to look at people's appearance, such as their clothes.
If they are dressed neatly, it increases trust.
I know that too.
If I had planned to go into the restaurant from the beginning, I wouldn't have dressed like that..
But it was a sudden situation..
But..
as a man..
I don't think I couldn't go in because of my clothes.
Of course, that could be possible, but
it doesn't matter to me.
It was a sudden situation, and my sister and younger sister would have known that..
I don't know if they talked behind my back about it, but..
There's this saying..
Even if I think I'm okay, wouldn't other people feel embarrassed for me?
Isn't there such a thing?
I've seen it somewhere before..
In the past, I wanted to name my son Cheongpung..
It wasn't a joke..
Cheong means blue and pung means wind..
It means to live freely.
Even if my appearance or clothes are ragged,
I think I look pretty good.
Of course, I'm not talking about my looks. You already know what I look like..
So..
even if I dress like a beggar, I don't feel embarrassed.
You might wonder where this confidence comes from..
I just think that way.
There's more to life than what you see on the outside..
