Eunyul smiled in exasperation. Even though Seong Eun-yul was robbed of everything she had, she did not give up on life. Since my life was originally nothing, I thought that if I worked hard, I would get better even if I became Seong Eun-yul. And as much as I tried, my life was definitely getting better, but the support I had built was suddenly shaken by a person who suddenly appeared.
“I’ll think about it later, but now there’s someone in front of me. “You have to deal with me first.”
Namgoonghyuk bent his legs to make eye contact with Eunyul, who lowered her head. Usually in cases like this, there is only one reaction. Crying when I realized the situation I was in.
I thought Eunyul would be no different. I liked the food I got from him, so I explained it kindly, but I still owe him that much, so I won’t cry and be satisfied.
“First of all, don’t cry… … uh?”
Namgoonghyuk looked at Eunyul’s face and made a confused sound.
I wasn’t crying. Not only that… … .
“You vile human being!”
I also got scolded.
“If you were going to give me this from the beginning, I shouldn’t even be eating here. “Are you going to eat the delicious rice as a meal and then serve this to me?”
“uh… … “I came here to run errands, but you said you were there and brought hangover soup.”
“Two! “Who said you could eat two?”
What Eunyul said was right. Eunyul suggested it first, but it was Namgunghyuk who did not refuse and even placed the order. I was originally going to tell him why I came here, but I looked so stupid that it wouldn’t cheer him up, so I ordered food. Anyway, that’s true.
“It’s a restaurant, so what’s the big deal about eating?”
“Daesuji. “You came here to rip out other people’s spines, so how have you got the shame to even eat them?”
“Let’s hear this, let’s hear it. It’s harsh. “Why do you keep telling me I’m a slouch?”
“Then should I tell you to eat seriously?”
Eunyul argued back and forth.
When I went to a garden some time ago, someone who knew Seong Eun-yul made a sarcastic comment that brought tears to my eyes. If I could relieve my frustration by crying back then, not now. Screaming hurt me more than crying.
“Take a bite to eat. “I’ve already paid all the bills, so why not stop?”
“That’s funny. So you just let me go because you paid all the bills? By that logic, I wouldn’t have brought something like this. “Pay the price again.”
“How much is it?”
Namgoonghyuk took out his wallet. It was because she didn’t really want to fight over food money.
“20 million won!”
However, he stopped at the price Eunyul mentioned. Namgoonghyuk frowned at her and said.
“Well, there are all these scammers out there.”
“Someone is calling me a fraud.”
“That hangover soup costs 20 million won. Does everyone else pay like that too?”
“Why are you comparing yourself to others?”
Namgung-hyuk responded as if it was nonsense, but Eun-yul did not give up and attacked.
“We all ate hangover soup the same way.”
“You ate something special.”
“I’m eating something special. “Did you sprinkle gold on my hangover soup?”
“Fried eggs!”
“… … what?”
As I was about to ask Namgoonghyuk what he just said, I suddenly remembered what happened earlier.
〈Fried eggs are a service. This isn’t just an egg. If you try it once, you will be truly amazed. I guarantee it.〉
Eunyul, seeing Namgoonghyuk’s expression, confidently shouted.
“The fried eggs taste truly amazing. “That’s the price.”
“Make sure to keep your morale up as well.”
“Why is this a scam? “My love and sincerity went into it, so of course it’s worth it, right?”
“love? Qualitative?”
Namgunghyuk was dumbfounded and copied Eunyul’s words. Then he lowered his upper body towards Eunyul.
“Did someone else come in here? “Why has it changed like this?”
Eunyul raised her hand to push Namgoonghyuk’s face back, but was caught. As if that wasn’t enough, he was dragged by Namgoonghyuk and even had his face grabbed, so he had to lift his heel. I didn’t think I was short, but Namgoonghyuk was taller.
“say it. Who are you.”
“… … “Let go.”
Eunyul, whose cheeks were pressed and her lips were protruding, glared at Namgoonghyeok.
“Where has the old Seong Eun-yul gone? Where are you going? … .”
Namgoonghyuk’s gaze swept over Eunyul’s face.
“Only the lovely one remains.”
“crazy… … .”
“You swear beautifully too.”
Namgung-hyuk looked at Eun-yul’s hands that were holding her tightly, not paying attention to her struggling.
“Your hands are prettier.”
Was this this pretty?
* * *
The house where the richest man in Korea lives was built on land where the energy of the mountains gathers. The elegantly built Hanok with a large area has disappeared, and a fortress-like structure, almost like a castle, has taken its place.
The reason why the Hanok was torn down and a new castle was built, despite all the time it had endured for a long time, was because of a grandchild whom the rich man especially cherished. One day, people suddenly heard about a boy who was the grandson of a rich man, and people showed their curiosity to know the story. That’s because the boy is the son of a famous entrepreneur and has already enjoyed a prosperous life. But why did he bother to rebuild the house and bring that child with him?
Everyone is curious, but the truth has rarely come out. The man was busy touching the boy’s heart rather than looking at others. This house was the grandfather’s reflection on his grandchildren.
‘Sometimes I will be a knight for you and I will build a strong fence as a castle lord.’
Thanks to his maternal grandfather, who comforted Kang Ha-jun’s heart, he quickly healed his wounds and regained stability.
I thought that was the case until recently.
“You met Rep. Han Cheol-seung.”
Kang Ha-jun just drank his tea in silence and did not make any excuses. He had no excuses. Because it’s all true.
“Isn’t he from the same party as your father? “Can you tell me why we met?”
“sorry.”
Kang Ha-jun did not say anything. Seeing that, his maternal grandfather Lee Hyun-seung let out a heavy sigh.
“Do you still have feelings for your father?”
It was a question not from anyone else but from my maternal grandfather. Since he couldn’t lie to him, Kang Ha-jun responded with silence.
“It’s already been a long time. “Even if he once abandoned you, he is still your father.”
Kang Ha-jun suppressed the urge to laugh at his maternal grandfather’s quiet explanation. By ‘once’, I mean, if it weren’t for my maternal grandfather, the person I would have abandoned and ignored for the rest of my life was my father. Now, he was also an opportunist waiting for me to marry Jeha.
“I will take care of it.”
“… … “Are you sure you want to continue?”
“At least you should know what you did.”
Now I can’t hide it completely. This is Kang Ha-jun, shaking his head. I never want to do something nice to my father. His maternal grandfather, who was looking at Kang Ha-jun like that, gave a mixed look in his eyes.
“I thought you would give up everything. “I thought I was no longer holding on to that death, but I was wrong.”
“I was about to give up. “I thought it would be very comfortable once I threw it all away, so I tried to do that.”
Kang Ha-jun muttered calmly.
“however… … .”
When was it? When my thoughts changed… … . I really thought it would be easier if I gave up everything. But just for one moment. Things changed from then on.
Kang Ha-jun’s expression softened as he remembered when that happened.
“Why are you smiling so much?”
“I was thinking about it.”
Once I think of it, I can now naturally picture his face.
The day Seong Eun-yul left the inn, everything changed for Kang Ha-jun.
* * *
“What is all this?”
Hyun Je-ha looked at the clothes thrown carelessly on the floor and roughly pushed them past them with his foot.
“Did you call this rice too?”
“sorry.”
“What with these skills? Hanjeongsik?”
“I’ll do it again.”
Namgung-hyuk raised his hand and greeted Hyun Je-ha, who entered inside while listening to the man’s begging voice.
“I’m here?”
“… … .”
I now know where the clothes that were thrown away here and there came from.
There was Namgoonghyeok, whose buttocks were visible through the pants that hung narrowly around his pelvis, and a man wearing only an apron with his bare body. The man didn’t know what to do with his hands clasped together, but I didn’t know if he was acting like that because he was showing his bare body to others, and I didn’t expect his eyes to leave his bowl of food.
“Make it again. “That’s the last chance I give you.”
“I’ll try to make it good.”
The man’s face brightened and he turned around holding a tray. The man bowed his head towards Hyun Je-ha and entered the kitchen, picking up kitchen utensils without even having a chance to put on his clothes.
“Tsk.”
Hearing Namgung-hyuk click his tongue in disapproval, Hyeon-jae threw the clothes on the sofa at him.
“Put it on.”
“madam.”
Namgoonghyuk used his hands to pin the clothes that fluttered against his body and then slid off, throwing them aside. I looked at the fluid on his body and left it alone.
“Did you call me here to show you this?”
As Hyun Je-ha tried to sit on the sofa, he was impressed by the pheromones he felt. If you’re going to have fun together, call me or not.
“What is that man?”
“A Korean cuisine chef to open this time… … candidate.”
“candidate?”
“I picked him because his skills were quite good, but now that I look at him, he’s not that good.”
“What are you talking about.”
