“I will never cum again.”
“doesn’t care. “I’m going to go and eat it.”
“You’re not saying you’re not coming.”
Unhappy with Hyun Je-ha’s calm response, Eun-yul rolled her eyes as if she wouldn’t treat her like this again next time and tried to leave the Korean restaurant, but was stopped by a man breathing heavily.
“Did you call Seongyul here?”
Eun-yul lowered her head, now knowing why she felt uncomfortable the whole way. I should have known from the beginning that a person who came to visit me was like that.
“here… … .”
“Hyuk’s store.”
After hearing Hyun Je-ha’s kind explanation, Eun-yul realized that she had entered the tiger’s den.
“It’s true. “It’s the real Seong Eun-yul.”
Namgoonghyuk looked at Eunyul at his Korean restaurant with curiosity and then circled around her.
“Come on. “Get out of my way.”
Unable to bear it anymore, Eunyul pushed Namgoonghyeok’s body with the lunch box, but he didn’t budge. I took Eunyul’s lunch box into my arms and held his hand.
“Since you’re here, take a look around.”
“I don’t think so.”
“I didn’t force you, I came here on your own, so take a look now. There’s no harm in seeing it.”
Namgoonghyuk was persistent, as if he wouldn’t let go until he saw it. Eun-yul was unable to come up with an answer as she was torn between wondering whether she should reject it until the end and turn around or pretend she couldn’t win and accept it.
“This isn’t a strange place. Although it hasn’t opened yet, it’s a place that was built with great care. “The kitchen in particular is a work of art.”
“The kitchen is a work of art, so what do you do?” … .”
Eunyul snorted as if it wasn’t funny, but honestly, it seemed like she was intrigued. Is there anything more fun for a cook than looking at the kitchen?
“It’ll just take a moment. “I’ll take you there after I’m done with the sightseeing.”
“You can just take the bus. Well, take the lead.”
“You want to go and see?”
“huh.”
Eunyul, who had only spoken politely when she wanted to since she got involved with Namgoonghyeok, nodded earnestly. And Namgoonghyeok, who was happy that Eunyul had given permission, excitedly walked towards the kitchen as if nothing else mattered.
Namgoonghyeok leads and Seong Eunyul follows, and Hyeonjaeha, looking at them, puts down the car keys he was holding earlier. The plan was to take Eun-yul back to Soon-i’s restaurant and have a meal there, but Namgung-hyuk intervened without notice and ruined it.
Meanwhile, looking at the kitchen, Eunyul was able to understand why Namgoonghyuk was so confident. Spacious and clean… … . It seemed like a lot of care was taken in arranging the seats, taking into account the flow of food in the kitchen.
“look? Are you fine?”
“What are you doing with the kitchen so large? “Let’s expand the hall outside.”
All you had to do was honestly say that you liked it, but Eunyul was grumpy for no reason and made a nonsensical accusation. I figured out that it was bigger than Suni’s kitchen. However, Namgoonghyuk did not look upset at all when he heard those words. On the contrary, Eun-yul told his story to the fullest, saying that he had brought it up well at the right time.
“When you go to stores, the kitchens are always small. I know that there is a certain size and that the kitchen has to become smaller to enlarge the hall… … Wouldn’t it be nice for people working in the kitchen to be spacious and comfortable as well? “It’s sad to live as if you’re stuck in a small space all day.”
Eunyul, who heard Namgoonghyeok’s thoughtful words, gave a laughable smile instead of looking moved.
“You tried to keep me here.”
“Why is that story being told here?”
Namgoonghyuk protested as if it was unfair, but Eunyul ignored him and left the kitchen. He turned around, ignoring Hyun Jae-ha, who was still sitting there. Just when I thought my business here was over, Hyun Je-ha spoke to Eun-yul’s back.
“I will contact you again. “Come see me then, just like you did today.”
Pretending not to have heard Hyun Je-ha’s meaningful words, Eun-yul left the Korean restaurant without looking back.
After receiving a call from Kang Ha-jun that he was working overtime, Eun-yul came home before him for the first time in a long time. After washing Haneul and putting him to sleep, Eunyul came out to the living room and sat down on the sofa to collect his thoughts.
‘I can’t continue like this… … .’
Unaware of how many days have passed, Eun-yul has been treating Kang Ha-jun rudely.
It was burdensome to look at him because I still couldn’t completely organize my thoughts. But then again, that didn’t mean I didn’t like Kang Ha-jun.
“Why do I have to worry about this?”
Even though I muttered into the air with no one listening, the frustration did not go away.
“You’re shaking.”
It felt like Kang Ha-jun’s confession was squeezing her heart, so Eun-yul covered her face in pain. She muttered, sighing as she spread her fingers apart.
“Can I like Kang Ha-jun?”
The question was whether it was possible to remove all the complexities related to Kang Ha-jun and just look at him and like him. He was also worried that he would regret it even if he trusted him and poured his heart out to him.
‘I only know what to give, but I don’t know how to stop.’
Life as an orphan gave me a thirst that could not be quenched no matter how much water I drank. What could quench that thirst was human warmth, but life was so hard that there was no chance to get it. Then, as Seong Eun-yul, I fell in love with the warmth of people for the first time through Haneul and my grandmother.
If you like Kang Ha-jun… … .
My love for Kang Ha-jun was filled with a fire that went beyond human warmth. So, would he be able to swallow that fire without fear? His worries deepened because he knew that if it were him, he would never spit it out even if it burned his body.
“What if Haneul is taken advantage of and then taken away?”
Namgoonghyuk was like that. The reason Kang Ha-jun does this to me is because of the sky. So, if Kang Ha-jun pretends to like her and takes Haneul after winning her heart… … .
The moment a shadow began to appear on Eunyul’s face, a large hand appeared and cupped her cheek.
“I told you I wouldn’t.”
“when… … came?”
“When you are alone with your thoughts.”
So Kang Ha-jun, who said that he didn’t even know I had come in, lowered himself on one knee in front of Eun-yul.
“If you come, at least pretend to be popular.”
Eun-yul thought to herself that no one would hear her, but she became embarrassed when she thought that Kang Ha-jun might have heard some or all of it.
“I couldn’t disturb you because you were thinking about me.”
When Eun-yul looked at Kang Ha-jun, she saw herself reflected in his unwavering eyes.
“I was hoping that the conclusion would be that he liked me. “But it’s a little disappointing that that’s not the case.”
A sad smile crossed his face when he realized that Eunyul’s heart was not about liking me, but rather about worrying about Haneul being taken away.
“No matter what happens, I won’t take Haneul away from you. “You already promised.”
“that is… … .”
It was like that from the beginning. Whenever Eun-yul felt anxious, Kang Ha-jun calmly calmed her down.
“I promise I will give it my all.”
“Then tell me. “Even if I changed, you weren’t such a kind person.”
“what?”
“There is a Kang Ha-jun that Seongyul remembers, but the man in front of me right now is so strange. He is kind, kind, and unnecessarily considerate. Originally, that appearance was only meant to be shown to Hyun Je-ha, so why did it show to me… … .”
Eunyul, who was saying it was strange, realized something and couldn’t continue talking. It is said that it should only be shown to Hyeon Je-ha. That was Kang Ha-jun’s reaction that I read in the original, and the person he treats like that… … .
“Do you really like me?”
Eunyul, who couldn’t believe it but knew why Kang Ha-jun was so kind to only one person, muttered with a blank face.
“Eunyul.”
Kang Ha-jun burst out laughing, unable to hold back, and then tilted his head toward Eun-yul. Because of this, as the distance became closer, each other’s breath and emotions became more intense.
“I feel like I’ve been saying this forever, but are you finally getting it?”
However, Kang Ha-jun’s eyes gently widened, as if he was happy that Eun-yul understood. Eun-yul, who was tracing the curve of his lips with her eyes, met Kang Ha-jun’s eyes.
“Have you made up your mind now?”
The moment Eunyul’s eyes became firm, as if he was hesitating about what to do, his hand came to rest on Kang Ha-jun’s shoulder. Eunyul bent her hand and held his shoulder tightly, pushing away all the worries that had been cluttering her mind.
“Let’s meet first.”
Eunyul shouted excitedly and immediately looked at Kang Hajun with eyes full of regret.
“So, well, let’s get to know each other.”
It would have been nice to set the mood with nicer words, but I thought it might have been a bit tacky. However, Kang Ha-jun seemed to be trying to understand something by looking at Eun-yul’s face, and then he asked her.
“Can I understand this by saying that you like me?”
“Well, because I fell in love with you.”
“Now my honest feelings are coming out.”
“Because I couldn’t say it before.”
Eun-yul, who was saying that was it, thought about it later and grabbed Kang Ha-jun’s shoulder with strength and pulled him to me. They were already so close that Eunyul opened her mouth at a distance where it seemed like their lips were touching.
“I’m going to cancel what I told you to do when you first came here, to clean up after yourself.”
Eun-yul muttered while maintaining a close distance that he had told her to tell Hyun Je-ha in advance and to take care of everything on his own.
“I want to take responsibility for this.”
Anyway, I had already met Hyeon Je-ha and it seemed like he would come visit me in the future, so I was able to have ample opportunity to talk. Eun-yul let go of Kang Ha-jun’s shoulder that she was holding on to. After shaking off what I had been worrying about, I felt refreshed, and although I was worried about other worries to come, at least I felt relieved now.
“however… … .”
When Kang Ha-jun didn’t move even though he pushed her away, Eun-yul raised her head in confusion and frowned at the still close distance.
“If we recognize each other, is this distance permitted at any time?”
“That’s it… … .”
Now that I won’t be wary of him anymore, there’s nothing I can’t allow this distance to do, but Kang Ha-jun’s expression caught me. He looked into my eyes, then lowered his gaze, revealing his long eyelashes. When I realized where the eyes were looking under the long, voluminous eyelashes, I felt an itch for no reason.
Eunyul bit her lower lip and thought about how to accept and react to this moment. Kang Ha-jun only mentioned the distance, but if his gaze touches my lips and I’m the only one going ahead… … .
‘Still, I want to find out.’
I had an instinct to feel the dizzying sensation of this moment that made not only my lips but my heart tremble.
If you lower your head just a little, you can kiss him.
Kang Ha-jun, who sensed Eun-yul’s subtle aura, quietly waited for him to approach. Before she knew it, the living room was filled with alpha pheromones, and by the time Eunyul realized it, she could no longer avoid the pheromones surrounding her body.
“Tsk.”
As soon as I recognized the pheromone, my whole body heated up and my excitement increased. I could feel the heat on my lips as much as my hot body, and I wanted to put it somewhere to cool it off. I guess it would only get better if I locked lips with Kang Ha-jun.
From a very short distance, Eun-yul very slowly tilted her head towards Kang Ha-jun’s lips. It was the moment when the fullest part of his lips touched and their lips were about to stick together.
“cellar… … dad.”
Eunyul, startled by Haneul’s voice, quickly raised her head. Although he didn’t push Kang Ha-jun away, it was enough for their lips to separate.
“Sky. “Didn’t you sleep?”
“huh. “Because I’m thirsty.”
“There’s water over there. Sky can drink it on its own, right?”
“huh.”
Haneul moved his little legs diligently and lifted the small water bottle on the table. Then he poured himself a glass of water and drank it, then came up to Eunyul and kissed her on the lips.
“Sleep well, Dad.”
In response to the half-asleep Haneul’s greeting, Eunyul patted her head and pushed her back as if she was cute. At that light gesture, Haneul walked a few steps toward the room and returned to see if she had forgotten something.
“Sleep well, uncle.”
Haneul, who gave Kang Ha-jun a kiss on the cheek, walked back to the room as if her business was over, leaving only the two of them alone. However, the atmosphere was so awkward compared to before that neither Eun-yul nor Kang Ha-jun spoke first.
“I forgot that Haneul exists.”
Not only were there two people in the house, but Kang Ha-jun was trying to get up from Eun-yul.
