Real Man

He had no relevant experience, so he couldn’t possibly create a proper service.

That’s why Yoo-hyun hoped that Na Do-ha would slow down a bit.

He thought it would be helpful for Na Do-ha to analyze other cases carefully and gain some indirect experience through training, even if it took some time.

-I already looked into it. But there’s no place in the country that provides a decent service. The training is also too minor. It’s just a waste of time.

But that wasn’t enough for Na Do-ha.

He said he didn’t need to do too well, but his anxiety didn’t stop.

Why?

Because of the primal desire to look better in front of the person who opened his heart.

Yoo-hyun rolled his tongue at the absurdly pure intention.

On the one hand, he understood his feelings and wanted to help him grow faster.

He hoped he would grow beyond the immediate results and be able to see the big picture.

What would be a good way?

‘If only he could experience it properly just once.’

It would be possible if he could experience the top-level mobile service development from A to Z.

With that one shot, he could blow away Na Do-ha’s frustration.

But he couldn’t think of a way to do that right away.

If he couldn’t satisfy everyone, then fixing the big guidelines first was also a method.

The guidelines here meant the final image that appeared as a result, that is, the mobile UX (user experience).

If he had a detailed picture of what would come out when he pressed a button, there was no way Na Do-ha couldn’t implement it in software.

‘Someone who can do that…’

Suddenly, the person who designed the color phone and apple phone UX flashed through Yoo-hyun’s mind.

He was an excellent talent who implemented the real product as a demo with just images and inspired the apple designers.

“That’s it!”

Snap.

Yoo-hyun quickly picked up his phone.

Han Jae Hee’s number was on the screen.

It was only right for a thirsty person to dig a well.

Yoo-hyun went to his sister’s house with both hands full for the first time in a while.

Squeak.

As soon as the door opened, Han Jae Hee greeted Yoo-hyun with a grumpy expression.

“What’s up? You came all the way here?”

“It’s the heart of an older brother who cares for his sister. Here.”

When Yoo-hyun handed over the pig’s feet and soju, Han Jae Hee smirked.

“You know you’re a criminal, right?”

“Criminal? What are you talking about?”

“Are you here to apologize?”

“What are you talking about? Why, is your work life not going well?”

Yoo-hyun shrugged his shoulders as if he didn’t know, and put the bottle on the round table.

Han Jae Hee looked at him incredulously.

“I told you several times that it’s not good. But every time you said it was okay and pushed me to do it.”

“Of course. Everything I told you is a bible. It’s a proven method.”

“Ha! That’s why it all got messed up.”

“Why?”

When Yoo-hyun tilted his head, Han Jae Hee grabbed the bottle and cooled down his anger.

“I’m dying, and you don’t even know the situation.”

“What are you talking about? Tell me from the beginning. I’ll listen with open ears.”

Yoo-hyun quickly snatched Han Jae Hee’s bottle and filled his glass.

Han Jae Hee drank it all at once and sighed.

“Sigh…”

“Come on.”

At Yoo-hyun’s urging, Han Jae Hee recited his dynamic actions so far.

“First, I did as you said and approached people with a big greeting…”

The more you ignore them, the more friendly you should be!

That was the core of Yoo-hyun’s first advice.

Han Jae Hee followed the advice diligently, but at a critical moment, the center manager appeared and scolded the senior who ignored his greeting.

It was natural that things got more complicated.

What was more ridiculous was what followed.

“You got caught helping with the work secretly and the senior got scolded again?”

“Yeah. I saw him struggling, so I tried to do it for him in advance. But the team leader saw it and scolded him for making the junior do his work.”

“The senior didn’t even know you were helping him.”

“He thought I was trying to screw him over.”

“Wow, I don’t know what to say.”

Helping out like a ginseng worm was the second advice, but it strangely backfired and only caused more misunderstandings.

It would have been better not to do it at all.

“That’s not the end of it. I bought snacks for the senior to celebrate his anniversary, but he got scolded by the picky team leader next to him for putting snacks on his desk. And…”

“…”

Yoo-hyun lost his words at the added words of Han Jae Hee.

He tried to get close to the other organization members who had no face.

It was funny that he was mistaken for a spy, but he ended up getting scolded a lot when he tried to praise his senior at the whole meeting.

Why did these things happen?

It was too much to say that Han Jae Hee had no sense, but it was a series of unlucky events.

No matter how good the method he pushed, it wouldn’t work.

What should he do?

He was drinking so much because his work life was messed up, and it was awkward to ask him for something.

If he touched him wrong, he might get a soju bottle thrown at him.

Hiring a designer separately was also an option, but it was hard to find someone with the right experience like Han Jae Hee in a short time.

Even if he found one, it was uncertain how much he would achieve.

It was when Yoo-hyun was filling his empty glass with alcohol and thinking.

Han Jae Hee, who had emptied his glass, sighed and summed up the situation so far.

"Ha! Do you know what they want me to do now?

“What do they want you to do?”

“They want me to sort out all the work results of the design center for the last three years. Does that make sense?”

Anyway, he had a different job than before, so Yoo-hyun replied positively.

“Oh, you got a job. Look. It’s different when you do as I say.”

“Do you want to die? This is not a design job. It’s pure hard labor.”

“Why? You just have to collect them, right?”

“You really don’t get it. Come on, look.”

Han Jae Hee, who pounded his chest, went to the desk and brought his laptop.

The work history he was sorting out was clearly on the screen.

He explained to Yoo-hyun how much he had to suffer.

“Our center has produced more than 1,000 images in the last three years. I have to upload them one by one with the project history.”

“So you have to make a portfolio of the whole center’s results. But why do you have to do that?”

“It’s the center manager’s long-cherished project.”

“But why do you have to do it?”

“Because it’s not a productive job. Frankly, do you think this will be managed if I sort it out? I have to do hard labor every time, and it’s hard to modify it.”

He agreed.

It was good to do, but it took too much work and there was no proper reward.

Everyone seemed to have low expectations.

It was as if a trap had fallen on Han Jae Hee.

“Hmm… If it were us, we would just put an image on each PowerPoint slide and add an explanation next to it.”

“We’re a design center. We don’t just list images, we have to design each page. Like a design portfolio.”

“That would make it hard to modify. Even if you make it, only the people who see it will see it.”

The problem was not only working on 1,000 images, but also modifying the pages that didn’t suit him.

More than anything, the biggest problem was how to share it.

If it stayed like this, it would be a waste to make it with so much effort.

“This is what I’m talking about. There’s no way to do this automatically…”

It was at that moment that Han Jae Hee was complaining.

I can make a website as a platform, so I can do it quickly. I also made it so that I can automatically align the images for gambling sites. But I don’t have a good reference for mobile apps…

Yoo-hyun recalled the basic web platform format that Na Do-ha showed him while explaining.

The example was a gambling site, but it was no different from a design portfolio if he changed the image.

As soon as he thought that far, he clapped his hands.

Snap!

“That’s it! You can use that.”

“What? What is it again?”

Yoo-hyun quickly explained to Han Jae Hee, who blinked his eyes.

“You can make the images go up automatically, right? You can sort them by the project name and date in the image name.”

It was much easier to decorate a web site on an internal server than to get hosting from outside.

If he set up the sharing properly, anyone could access and modify it.

It was a system where collective intelligence could gather.

The biggest advantage was that he could easily create a page with a few clicks.

He could easily create a design portfolio through the web.

It was a simple idea, but it was not something that designers who had only dug one well could easily think of.

Han Jae Hee was also the same, and he shook his head as if he was frustrated.

“It’s not as easy as you say. How do you automatically sort that out?”

“I can do it. I’ll find a way.”

“Is there really a way?”

“Then will you keep your word that you would do anything for me when you said it before?”

Yoo-hyun revealed his hidden purpose, and Han Jae Hee narrowed his eyes.

“What are you up to? That was when things went well.”

“This could make things go well.”

“Do you want me to break up with you again by listening to you?”

He understood how Han Jae Hee felt, but this time it was different.

He had a real case, not a guess, that gave him confidence.

“It’s nothing to lose. Just look at it, and if you don’t like it, don’t take it.”

“Is that… Run?”

“Yes, it is. I’m doing this all for you.”

“That’s weird. It seems like you’re trying to stop me again.”

“What are you talking about? Come on, let’s have a drink.”

Yoo-hyun clinked his glass hastily, but Han Jae-hee looked unconvinced.

His eyes were full of doubt until the bottle was empty.

Han Jae-hee’s attitude changed drastically a few days later.

Sitting in the rest area on the 10th floor of Yeouido Center, Yoo-hyun could hear his sister’s excited voice over the phone.

It was not long after he had handed over the web platform of Nadoha.

“Brother! It’s amazing. Everything is sorted out!”

“See? I told you it would work.”

Han Jae-hee ignored Yoo-hyun’s words and muttered to himself.

“With one click, more than 1,000 files were automatically uploaded and arranged. And they all have different background designs. Did you really sort them by file name? How is this possible?”

“The computer is smarter than you.”

“That’s why I admire people who do software. Especially Mr. Doha, I feel like bowing twice to him.”

Han Jae-hee had been unimpressed when he first talked to Nadoha, saying that his voice was too young and whatnot.

That was just a while ago, but why did he suddenly become ‘Mr. Doha’?

More than that, the words ‘bowing twice’ made Yoo-hyun speechless.

“What? Why are you trying to send a living person to the underworld?”

“I’m just too excited. I’ll treat you properly later.”

“That’s up to you later, just keep your promise.”

“Okay. Don’t worry. I already installed the stock app and I’m looking at the foreign samples. I have nothing to do after this, so I’ll help you with both arms.”

“That’s reassuring. Finish it well.”

“Thank you very much1. Bye-bye.”

Han Jae-hee said goodbye with a very happy voice and hung up the phone.

Was it that good?

Yoo-hyun smiled wryly as he looked at the turned-off screen.

Rattle.

Kim Young-gil, the section chief sitting across from him, pushed a can of coffee and grinned.

“Who was that? You look so happy.”

“Thank you. It was my sister.”

Yoo-hyun took the coffee and answered, and Kim Young-gil raised his eyebrows.

“Oh, Jae-hee? How is she doing?”

“She’s working hard at the company, with ups and downs.”

“She’s a fun and cheerful person, so everyone will like her.”

“I hope so.”

Maybe this incident would make things a little better for her?
