Lee Hyun-seung thought of healthy foods to feed his grandchildren one by one.
“Is this person crazy?”
Eunyul thought of Namgoonghyeok, who came to eat hangover soup in the morning and only talked nonsense. Although it was annoying, I had a conversation with him, and when I found out that he had been drinking, I even added red pepper powder to his soup, but I returned his favor with revenge.
I made a reservation for a group of 30 guests for the evening and left.
“Up until now, the number of group guests was only 10… … .”
Eunyul secretly glanced at Lim Bongsun’s gaze and began to cry. At the same time, he sent a subtle signal asking if he could cancel the group reservation right now.
“Oh my god, how much is this?”
However, Lim Bong-soon was tapping away at the calculator and was excited about the sales that the group would make.
“When customers come, they always ask why they come here to eat instead of just going home…” … .”
I was wondering if there was a sudden wind of money, but Lim Bong-soon glanced back at Eun-yul with a sharp gaze.
“why. Why do you look at me like that?”
“I think I won’t be able to get off work today.”
“yes? But that kid is my dad. “You must respect the work hours.”
“You can leave the sky here too.”
“But…” … No really, what’s wrong? They say you don’t have to make a lot of money. “I said I could live by saving a little money, and then, ah!”
Eunyul instinctively avoided the suddenly flying green onions. Lim Bong-soon was dissatisfied with her wave, which she intentionally swung too narrowly, so she glanced at her wave instead.
“They do it to make a lot of money. “I’m going to spend a lot of money before I die, so don’t talk nonsense.”
“Seeing. I said I would help her improve her education, but why is the grandmother trying to earn money to improve her education? yes yes. I have to work. Day.”
When Lim Bong-sun picked up the green onion again, Eun-yul immediately changed his words. To be honest, it was strange that he even expressed his dissatisfaction like this. The restaurant owner says he accepts group customers, but the staff should follow suit.
“ah… … But Sky has a forest experience tomorrow, so I’m tired if I sleep late.”
At first, I thought I could just bring Haneul and ask her to wait in the room. However, when I came home from work and thought about the time I would have to wash my child and put him to bed, it seemed like I would end up going to bed later than usual.
Eunyul’s worries deepened as she thought about the fact that she wakes up at the same time, so if she goes to bed late, her condition gets worse, and because she was experiencing the forest, she might fall due to lack of strength in her body.
“Should I ask Kang Ha-jun for a favor? no.”
Why does Kang Ha-jun come to mind here? If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have even thought about it in the first place, but I would have secretly leaned on him without even realizing it.
“But you don’t know when it will end.”
It would be okay if I finished early, but I wouldn’t be able to… … .
Eun-yul, who was worried about this and that, rushed to Lim Bong-soon’s yelling from the kitchen.
“Hurry and boil the broth.”
Lim Bong-sun waved the ladle and prepared to welcome guests, while Eun-yul looked back at the kitchen from a distance.
Thirty people may be an acceptable size for some restaurants, but not for me. I calculated the number of hangover soups sold each day and made them in advance, but I had to boil 30 more bowls.
“Because it is an unavoidable situation… … .”
Thinking like that, it seemed like she really couldn’t go in early, so Eunyul put her hands in her apron pockets. He held his cell phone tightly in his hand and decided to prioritize Haneul’s condition over his pride.
* * *
Eunyul slightly pushed Haneul toward Kang Hajun, who came to visit.
“I don’t know when it will end, so I don’t think I can just leave it in the restaurant. “I’ll just ask you for one day.”
Eunyul’s voice became cautious as she had explained the whole situation on the phone earlier and now all she had to do was take Haneul home.
Asking to look after Haneul was not an easy request. Even if it weren’t for Kang Ha-jun, I thought I would have done a good job raising Haneul on my own, but I never thought Eun-yul would ask me for a favor like this.
However, Kang Ha-jun, who held Haneul, did not hesitate in his touch. He carefully held the small body in his arms and soon stroked its hair that was leaning against his shoulder.
“Don’t worry about Haneul, just work.”
It was a difficult request for Eun-yul, but Kang Ha-jun accepted it so easily that he even showed his determination to do well.
He turned his back on Eunyul and headed toward the car, as if there was nothing to worry about.
“I really don’t have to worry.”
Last time, I went straight to the supermarket to comfort Haneul, who was crying because she had fallen from strawberries. Even at the department store, I don’t know how much Haneul was wary of his surroundings, fearing that he might get run over by people.
“no. If you think like that, I can’t leave it to you. “Hae-neul is not a child who is one or two years old.”
Since he is 5 years older, Haneul can do things that Ha-jun Kang can’t do well.
Eun-yul immediately let go of the weight of her heart and shouted at Kang Ha-jun.
“I ate here, so all I have to do is go home and wash up.”
When Kang Ha-jun turned around, Eun-yul shouted.
“It won’t be difficult because you can figure it out.”
When I told him that he might feel burdened because he was washing a child, Kang Ha-jun looked down at Haneul for a moment and nodded. It certainly seemed like he had various thoughts about the washing up part.
As Kang Ha-jun put Ha-neul in the car seat and started the car, Eun-yul looked and looked until the car was no longer visible.
“You’ll do well.”
Go to the sky.
* * *
Kang Ha-jun, who entered the house, took off Haneul’s shoes, put them down in the front door, and came in. And when I handed Haneul down, the child went to the laundry room and took off his clothes one by one.
“I came back from going out, so I have to wash up and play.”
Haneul took off all of her clothes and went into the bathroom, knowing what Ha-jun Kang had not asked, and Ha-jun Kang followed her after pausing for a moment.
I have already seen washing children over and over again in several videos. I don’t know if there will be a situation where I need to wash, but I checked in advance just in case.
“Put a shower cap on your head to prevent shampoo from getting in your eyes. Take a toy and focus your attention on that area before washing it. Be sure to wash your head first, as it may slip… … .”
As I was recalling the memory in my head like a manual, Haneul, who was already in the bathroom, was already holding the shower head.
“ah. “Uncle, take the shower.”
“yes.”
When Haneul obediently handed over the shower head, Kang Ha-jun was adjusting the faucet to get the right amount of hot water, then realized that he had forgotten to bring a shower cap. Since it was new and had not been used yet, I had to take it out of the bathroom shelf and then put the shower head down, so I was worried.
At that time, Haneul, who had squeezed out shampoo and put it on her head, looked up at Kang Ha-jun.
“You can turn off the water while I wash my hair.”
“Would you like my uncle to do it?”
Haneul, who was rubbing shampoo on her head, shook her head at Kang Ha-jun’s words.
“I can do it alone.”
“But isn’t it hard alone?”
“I’m starting elementary school soon. Can you wash me then too? Then it’s a shame. So please help me do it on my own.”
In the meantime, Haneul, who had washed her head with shampoo, asked me to turn on the water in the shower. Then, he put his head under the shower head that Kang Ha-jun was holding and washed his hair.
“Doesn’t it sting your eyes?”
“You just need to close your eyes. “Her grandma’s hands are rougher than the shampoo, so she tolerates it well now.”
In response to Haneul’s adult answer, Kang Ha-jun helped her wash her hair without saying a word. He was a child who did things alone even when washing his face in the morning.
Knowing that, I didn’t think that I could wash up independently, so I looked for a shower cap and tried to do it all myself.
Once again, it felt like I had prepared for Haneul without knowing much about him, so Kang Ha-jun just laughed and let it all go. He should have observed the sky, not the video.
After rinsing her hair, Haneul squeezed body wash onto the shower ball, made a foamy foam, and rubbed it on her body. Then, after thoroughly cleaning his arms and legs, he held them out to Kang Ha-jun.
“Please do so.”
Kang Ha-jun obediently took the shower ball and rubbed Haneul’s small back. After wiping my back until there was a lot of foam in two and a half times, I handed it back and Haneul took it and wiped the soles of my feet and between my toes before putting my cheek down.
I was about to wash it off with water after I finished soaping, but the cute voice of Haneul rubbing my arm under the shower head rang in the bathroom.
“One two three four, one two three four… … .”
I wiped away the foam, counting the numbers, just like when brushing my teeth. I asked Kang Ha-jun to clean my back again, and then asked him to check if there were any spots I missed, and the shower ended with Haneul wiping most of it off by himself.
It wasn’t surprising since Haneul did so many things alone, but Kang Ha-jun was at a loss for words when he saw her not only washing, but also wiping her body with a towel and even taking cream out of the cream container and applying it. I think all I’ve done so far is hold the shower head and wipe the backs that I couldn’t reach.
“Please dry my hair.”
At Haneul’s request, Kang Ha-jun picked up the hair dryer as if fascinated.
“With round eyes, a small black nose, and white fur… … .”
While drying her hair, Haneul danced on her own and put on the clothes she had prepared in advance. Taking care of her hair, she concentrated on putting her arms into her clothes, as if she believed the air from the dryer would come.
Her hair was short, so after it dried quickly, Haneul turned towards Kang Ha-jun and spread her arms.
“Voila. “It’s like that swan, right?”
Haneul, wearing white silk pajamas, showed off her clothes.
“huh. “He looks like a swan prince.”
The whitest and softest swan prince in the world. Hearing Kang Ha-jun’s praise, Haneul took out yogurt and drank it with a refreshed face.
Only then did Kang Ha-jun realize that Haneul had missed brushing his teeth, but he could not take yogurt away from a child who drank happily.
“Is this why you said you were good at it?”
The more I looked at the child who did many things on his own, the more amazed I was, so I muttered to myself, and the doorbell rang.
“uh? “It’s dad.”
Haneul was so excited that he put down the yogurt and ran to the front door. And even when he gave Kang Ha-jun a look asking him to open the door, he didn’t realize that anything was strange. And his cell phone kept ringing while Haneul was washing up.
If it were Eunyul, she would have to press the password to come in rather than ring the doorbell.
“dad!”
Before the door was fully opened, Kang Ha-jun smiled silently at the sound of Haneul shouting… … .
“Dad?”
I wiped my smile when I saw the man standing in front of the front door.
With the restaurant full of group guests, Eunyul approached Namgoonghyuk for the last serving. Is it good or bad to see the same person again in the morning? Anyway, when Namgoonghyuk gave him a quick greeting, Eunyul also responded with a greeting of her own.
“This is a place where you can eat delicious food twice a day.”
Eunyul deliberately placed a very generous bowl of hangover soup in front of Namgunghyuk. I gave it to him as a way to encourage him to eat it again in the evening since he ate it in the morning, but he accepted it and just smiled.
“okay. “It’s okay if you like it.”
I also gave a large portion to Park Joo-hwan, who came in the morning, and he also liked it. He should have just given them both a bowl with a little bit of it in it.
Eunyul stood at the entrance to the kitchen, placing a bowl of hangover soup in front of all the group guests. It was strange that a store that was mostly filled with grandparents was filled with only young people. Doesn’t it feel like the restaurant I used to go to every day?
So, as I was looking at the people while holding the tray in my arms, they were secretly glancing at Eunyul as if they were not there.
