〈They say that if you eat seaweed stems, you will become stronger.〉
… … When I explained to her why she should eat vegetables, Haneul tried it and tried it until she got used to it. As a result, later on, I was able to eat bibimbap well, but I couldn’t do that with one thing: eggplant.
Haneul understood that eggplants were good for her health and tried to eat them, but she could not get used to them and her resistance to eating them became more severe. So I couldn’t feed the eggplants any more.
I was wondering why I couldn’t eat eggplants, but oh my god, there was a different reason.
“Seongyul.”
Eunyul didn’t look up to check the large shadow blocking the front. Instead, I took out my cell phone and made a call.
“hello. It’s a police station, right? I’m being ripped off right now, so come and save me… … .”
Namgoong Hyuk took the phone away and touched the screen with the intention of ending the call. However, since nothing appeared on the brightened screen, he realized that he had been tricked by Eun-yul and laughed.
“What are you doing now?”
“It’s a warning.”
Eunyul didn’t even ask for her cell phone, but just raised her head and looked at Namgoonghyuk.
“I didn’t borrow the money from you, so did you take it over? Did you send me mail? Did you tell me five years ago that you borrowed money from me? “Have you contacted me?”
“you… … .”
“I didn’t ask anything like that and just sent the money. Because I didn’t expect you to do it legally. “What do I expect from a gangster?”
Eunyul said sarcastically. You may think it’s okay to do something because you messed with Seong Eun-yul 5 years ago, but it’s too much to show up like this now.
“Gangster… … hey. “Do you think horses are sweet?”
“So you just use your fists? No matter where I work, it is my freedom, but they tried to drag me away by threatening me. “Do you really want me to suffer without being able to say anything?”
As Eunyul screamed loudly, people passing by glanced at her. Then it was Namgoonghyuk who looked at the people around him.
“Hey, human, I have a child’s body, so why do you keep coveting me?”
“To covet, to covet. “Why don’t you lower your voice and hide your words?”
“That’s funny. Whenever you say you will give me 3 days and that you will take me with you. Did you think I would get off easily like that? “Did you know that I would cook and offer food for you to eat?”
A person passing by stopped to look, and Namgoonghyuk kept brushing his hair with a shocked expression on his face. There was nothing to be embarrassed about when it happened like this.
“You really speak well.”
“That’s why you keep coming to me, too. “Because I’m fun.”
“… … .”
There was nothing to say about this. The reason I did it myself instead of telling the kids below me was because Eunyul’s angry reaction was fun… … . Namgoonghyuk fell for Eunyul’s words and then came to his senses.
“… … what do you want.”
“I don’t work for you.”
Eunyul pushed Namgoonghyuk’s shoulder and moved him aside. She walked to the restaurant and Namgoonghyuk followed her.
“And the debt is recalculated with legal interest. “You’ve conceded a lot just by paying that back.”
When Kang Ha-jun said he would protect Haneul, I spit out all the words I had kept inside.
“Seongyul… … “I thought you just had a rough taste.”
“Crazy guy.”
Eunyul ignored Namgoonghyeok as if she didn’t want to deal with him anymore.
“But you’re good at cooking. “Since when did you become good at it?”
“Isn’t it even weirder that I can’t work at a restaurant?”
“It’s called serving. “I’m not in charge of the kitchen, so is it natural for me to be good at cooking?”
“Put some rice too.”
Eunyul roughly guessed the answer.
“okay. “I’m Suni’s successor, so I have to cook well.”
“What about the successor…?” … .”
When I spoke as if I were the successor to a large franchise spread across the country, Eunyul accepted it as if it was absurd. However, Namgoonghyuk, who saw the corner of his mouth twitching, quietly stood next to him. I liked it now. This is why you rejected my scout.
It was obvious that he probably knew I would show up.
“By the way, when did you meet Kang Ha-jun again?”
“You know what to do.”
“Do you know that I’m 5 years older than you?”
“You know what to do.”
Namgoonghyuk looked at him curiously and then spoke again.
“I was asking Kang Ha-jun if he couldn’t let go of his regrets… … .”
“It’s none of your business.”
“What if I can’t pretend not to know because Hyunjeha is there?”
Eunyul stopped walking at Namgoonghyuk’s question. His eyes were still looking at the restaurant, but his expression showed that he was thinking over what Namgoong Hyuk had said.
“I’m saying this because I’m afraid I might get in between the two again. Now that I’m old enough… … .”
“Fuck you.”
“Fuck… … what?”
Eunyul turned around.
“I forgot the chives.”
“Are you not listening to what I said?”
“Why should I be interested in something that is none of my business?”
As Eunyul grumbled and walked away, Namgoonghyuk looked behind her.
“It’s none of your business?”
It sounds like you have no intention of getting involved in that situation anymore, so why did you follow Kang Ha-jun yesterday?
* * *
Before the restaurant opened, Eunyul worked diligently in the kitchen with Lim Bongsoon.
“They said he opened the door and jumped out.”
No, only Eunyul moved. Lim Bong-sun was standing with her arms crossed as if she was only going to question Eun-yul.
“I didn’t break it. “I talked to the landlord about fixing it.”
Eunyul drank the soup from the food that was simmering in the pot and tasted it. Moderately sweet and moderately deep.
“Rotten bastard.”
“No, grandma, why are you swearing all of a sudden? “She said she was going to fix the door and apologized?”
“But why didn’t you come here!”
Lim Bong-soon suddenly shouted, causing Eun-yul to jump in surprise. As a result, the liquid left in her ladle splashed onto the back of her hand and she had to hastily scoop it up with her mouth.
“Oh, you were surprised.”
“Why did a guy who could have known without saying anything come here and go somewhere else?”
I avoided eye contact using the excuse of Eunyul sucking the back of my hand. I was originally going to do that yesterday. However, Namgung-hyuk appeared and said he would follow her to the restaurant, so she changed her destination. It’s not that her grandmother is untrustworthy… … .
“… … yo. this.”
“what?”
“I’m sorry.”
Grandmother Lim Bong-soon was someone who would block it with her body. The legal investigation into her debt was made possible thanks to her grandmother calling one of her regular customers, who was said to be a lawyer, and asking him to come over for a meal.
“Why are you sorry?”
“Oh, because you’re a grandmother. You’re going to scream so hard that Heaven and I will protect you! “That’s because I don’t like that.”
“Why are you raising your voice?”
“That’s because grandma yells more.”
“It’s sick. “Scream at the top of your lungs, scream.”
“Grandma… … “Why don’t you know how to take care of yourself like that, okay?”
Eunyul shouted louder out of regret.
“What are you doing to buy this body?”
“If you save, you will live long.”
“What should I do if I live long?”
“It’s good to live a long time.”
“Inum… … .”
When Lim Bong-sun picked up the pot lid, Eun-yul flinched.
“Don’t hit me.”
“Ride!”
“ah… … .”
Eunyul quickly pushed the pot aside and dug around on the floor. She wasn’t burned, there was nothing stuck to her and she smelled okay.
“Oh no, I almost ruined my pot ribs.”
I was glad that I didn’t lose the reward of my hard work by groping and bringing in a pot that I rarely use in a corner of the kitchen.
“Why do you make ribs so strangely?”
“I have someone to give it to.”
“who?”
“there is. “A person I would rather be indebted to than dying.”
I felt so uncomfortable and hated feeling like I was indebted to Kang Ha-jun. The situation was unavoidable, but I hated it.
I opened the refrigerator this morning and saw that there were ribs. I don’t know when I will try that, but I wanted to let you know that my food is more delicious than that.
‘I need to be proud by feeding them something very delicious and good.’
There is nothing more powerful than shocking people with cooking. Eunyul bit her lip tightly, letting out all the awkwardness she had been sitting in while watching the breakfast being prepared.
“I’ll show you that I’m not taking it easy.”
As Eun-yul was muttering to herself, Lim Bong-soon gave her a disapproving look.
“Rotten… … “Do the same to me!”
“Grandma is different.”
“What’s different?”
“Grandma is grandma. “She is the person I like and protect.”
“I told you earlier to save yourself!”
“Oh, I don’t know.”
As Eun-yul and Lim Bong-soon started screaming again, Namgung-hyuk, who was sitting in the hall, picked his ears.
“What are you, a lost grandmother?”
Why are they so similar?
