"I Bought Meat With My First Paycheck From a Part-Time Job" ... A High School Sophomore Who Worried About His Father's Work Clothes at a Construction Site Shares an Update [Warm Stories]

[Financial News] A high school student who once asked netizens how to wash his father's work clothes, after his father began working at a construction site, has shared an update saying he bought meat with his first-ever part-time job pay and ate it with his father.

On the 25th, an update about A boy, a second-year high school student, was posted on the social networking service Thread. He wrote, "I worked a part-time job during vacation and earned money on my own for the first time. My legs hurt and I was very tired, but then I thought about how my father must do much harder work at the site every day, and I felt respect and gratitude."
He added, "I tried to give my part-time job pay to my father to help with living expenses, but he said he could not accept it, so I bought meat instead and put it in the refrigerator. I am planning to grill it and eat it together when he gets off work, and I feel really proud."
He went on to say, "While working part-time, I kept thinking about the adults who left comments for me. I think I now understand a little more how grateful it is when people worry about something I wrote, even though they do not know my face or name, as if it were their own problem."
A boy said, "Now that I have earned money myself, I realized that helping someone is not as easy as I thought. When I grow up, I want to be someone who does not just walk past another person's hardship."
Netizens responded with comments such as, "I cannot even imagine what an amazing adult he will become," and "I am even more grateful and happy that I was able to help."

Earlier, in June, A boy had posted on Thread asking how to wash his father's work clothes, saying they smelled strongly after his father quit his business and started working on-site.
At the time, he asked, "Even when I use a lot of detergent and wash them, the smell seems to remain. The socks and shoes smell so bad that I keep them on the veranda. How do men who do on-site work take care of them at home?"
Netizens who saw the post rushed to share laundry tips, while others offered to send deodorizer, socks, safety shoes, and more. Some even said they would send money if he provided an account number.
A boy later thanked them, saying, "Thanks to the many people who shared laundry methods, as well as those who wanted to send deodorizer, socks, a dryer, and even money, I have been able to get through the rainy season without any smell problems."
