Eunyul lowered her head as if she was burying her face in the table. Haneul, who had done nothing wrong in their work, was brought in.
I couldn’t face the guilt of not being able to raise him in a stable family.
The worry about taking Haneul away from me soon turned into a feeling of regret for not giving Haneul another father.
Ever since I started living in the same house with Kang Ha-jun.
Meanwhile, Kang Ha-jun, who saw Eun-yul unable to raise her head from the table, also had a dark face.
I felt sad and sad when I walked with Haneul at the supermarket.
“uncle.”
Kang Ha-jun, who was looking at Eun-yul, turned his gaze to Haneul.
“It’s raining.”
Hearing Haneul’s words, Kang Ha-jun looked out the window. After confirming that it wasn’t raining, I looked at the sky again and the child said.
“Warm rain.”
“… … .”
It wasn’t raining from the sky, it was oil splattering.
Everyone’s thoughts were completely forgotten about what had happened to Haneul.

Namgoong Hyuk looked around the Korean restaurant ‘Twelve Months’. Although the store was brightly lit, the inside of the store was empty.
The door hadn’t even been opened yet, but just looking at his sunken eyes, it seemed like a lot of things had already happened.
“Boss, shouldn’t we open the store now?”
The person who approached him was Park Joo-hwan.
“We’ve prepared all the menus, and now all we have to do is welcome customers. Let’s bring in the chef we decided to do last time and open the door. “Everyone is keeping an eye on you, no, the boss.”
“Joohwan.”
Namgoong Hyuk called out to Park Joo Hwan with his arms crossed.
“Have you tried kimchi?”
“Kimchi? Yes.”
Since kimchi is as important as the main menu, it is sourced from a famous place.
“How did it taste?”
“What can I say? “Of course it’s delicious.”
Park Joo-hwan spoke as if it was nothing to think about, so Namgoong-hyuk added a word.
“How does it compare to Suni’s kimchi?”
“that… … .”
Of course, I had to say that the food from a famous place tastes better. Didn’t I get it from someone who would be disappointed if he was second in line as a kimchi maker?
However, Park Joo-hwan was unable to speak up and scratched the back of his head.
“But back then, you worked without even drinking a drop of water. So it must have all been delicious.”
Park Joo-hwan, recalling that time, whetted his appetite. I still can’t forget the taste of the makgeolli I drank that day.
“Is it delicious to work and eat? I think the kimchi I ate there was better. “The rice is delicious too.”
Namgoonghyuk looked at the building with a skeptical expression.
“But we can’t keep postponing the opening.”
“yes. “We can’t put it off.”
If so, there must be some way. Namgoong Hyuk stroked his lips and pondered.
“But I hate opening it without it being perfect.”
“It’s not perfect. It’s still delicious enough… … .”
Park Joo-hwan, who was trying to persuade Namgoong-hyuk, found someone and trailed off.
“older brother.”
And when I called Namgoonghyuk, who was lost in thought, he turned his head. Namgoonghyuk’s face distorted when he noticed the man standing in front of Park Joo-hwan. Lately, I’ve been bumping into someone quite a bit and I don’t like them just by looking at their face.
“You haven’t opened the door yet?”
In response to Namgoonghyuk’s sarcastic greeting, Kang Hajun turned his gaze towards him and saw the signboard for ‘Twelve Months’.
“I have something to tell you.”
“If you’re not here to eat… … Let’s go in. Joohwan, we are closing down our business today.”
Namgoong-hyuk informed Park Joo-hwan that all employees should leave work and entered the building first.
As Kang Ha-jun followed him in, Park Joo-hwan, who was left alone, looked around and awkwardly scratched the back of his head.
“You’re not in business, boss.”
So, he still calls me boss, and then he calls me brother… … .

“I understand that Seongyul’s debt has been paid in full.”
“For me it is.”
At first glance, it sounded like he was joking, so Kang Ha-jun’s expression cooled down.
“Do you know that that is a violation of the contract?”
When Kang Ha-jun paid off Seong Eun-yul’s debt, he wrote a contract. Instead of canceling the entire debt, Seong-eun would not show up to Yul and would not lend him money.
In other words, Namgoong-hyuk’s visit to Seong Eun-yul was in itself a violation of the contract, so Kang Ha-jun’s tone of voice did not go over well.
“There’s no need to glare at me like that. “Because I did not violate the contract.”
Namgoonghyuk calmly leaned back on his chair. Thanks to this, there was a feeling in my downward gaze that it didn’t matter how Kang Ha-jun appeared.
“Seongyul didn’t just owe me a debt.”
Kang Ha-jun’s eyes, depicting the context of what happened, became fierce at that one word. When I told Namgoonghyuk that he would accept all the conditions I made five years ago, I never thought he would have had different thoughts.
“I don’t care about such messy methods.”
In response to Kang Ha-jun’s low muttering, Namgoong-hyuk suppressed the urge to say back that he was thinking the same thing.
“I will pay off that debt too…” … .”
“Instead, you’re going to pay off my debt and put another condition on me not to appear in front of Seong Eun-yul? What should I do with this? I’m a bit of a bitch, so I don’t receive two identical contracts… … .”
Namgoonghyuk immediately refused. It didn’t matter how much the debt was. She didn’t want Kang Ha-jun to cut off the joy she felt every time she met Seong Eun-yul.
These days, it’s hard to live without the pleasure of seeing Seong Eun-yul.
“If you want to apply as an agent, you must have the necessary qualifications. “I won’t accept anything until then.”
Namgoonghyuk got up from his seat, turned around, and looked at Kang Hajun to see if he had forgotten to say something.
“This store hasn’t opened yet. “I’m waiting to leave it to Chef Seong Eun-yul, so you can go and persuade him.”
Namgung-hyuk came out after telling him how he planned to treat Seong Eun-yul.
Kang Ha-jun, who was left alone, looked around the inside of the restaurant. The private space of the room and the open space of the hall were combined.
Seeing that it was more casual than a typical Korean restaurant, but not too light, I had a feeling that it would do quite well once it opened.
Eunyul’s touch is added here?
Kang Ha-jun remembered the taste of the braised ribs that Eun-yul had made herself last time, and swept his tongue over his lips.
“You’re greedy.”
I have an eye for trends and have very picky tastes. It was the time when she met Namgoonghyuk and came to settle the matter with Seongeun Yul, and discovered an unexpected side of her.
Of course, Ha-jun Kang had no intention of letting him roam around as he pleased, so he took out his cell phone and made a call somewhere.
“I need to meet CEO Namgung-gil. If possible, please set up a place for me to see it today.”
Now that I know the reason why Namgung-hyuk pushed Eun-yul, it’s okay. Since it’s not Namgoong Hyuk, it’s easier to resolve.
The secretary contacted Namgoong-gil through other means without ending the call, and reported to Kang Ha-jun as soon as the conversation was concluded.
– I made an appointment. We will send you the time and location.
“great job.”
Kang Ha-jun put down his cell phone with a neat expression.
Then, when the vibration rang, Kang Ha-jun’s eyebrows rose. I don’t know who the call is from, but I don’t really want to receive it right now… … .
However, knowing that he had no choice but to receive it, Kang Ha-jun picked up his phone and checked the recipient.
This number… … .
It wasn’t saved, but it was the number of Suni’s Haejangguk that I had already memorized.
Kang Ha-jun, who immediately ran to Suni’s restaurant, found Haneul squatting and quickly approached her.
“Sky.”
“uncle.”
When Haneul opened his arms, Kang Ha-jun picked up her small body. The person who called was Lim Bong-soon, the owner of the restaurant. She told him to come and take Haneul and Kang Ha-jun came running right away.
“What about Dad?”
“Dad, sleep now.”
“… … “With Haneul?”
“The grandfathers gave alcohol to my father earlier.”
It was difficult to understand the entire situation through Haneul’s explanation, so Kang Ha-jun walked into the restaurant without holding the child.
“Here are two.”
“wait. “I’m behind on orders!”
“Oh, I have to eat quickly and go. When are you going to give it to me?”
“Then go somewhere else, okay?”
Lim Bong-sun, who discovered Kang Ha-jun, stopped talking and gestured toward him.
“Why are you here now? “Hey, come.”
When Ha-Jun Kang waved his hand at him, he just walked away as if he was fascinated and didn’t think about why I was going.
“Leave the kid in the room and go to work.”
“I came to take Haneul away.”
“So, if you want to take me, you won’t have to finish business today. “To work.”
This made me wonder where Eunyul was.
“Where is Eun-yul?”
