If I tried to tell him that his grandmother was looking after him because he was cycling, it would be like pouring fuel on the embers, so I tried to talk him out of it.
“So are you going to keep coming here?”
“Look at the horse turning.”
Of course, it was an unplanned masterpiece. Namgoonghyuk snorted and crossed his arms.
“I will keep coming. I will come every day. “I’ve been a regular for 50 years.”
Haneul clapped with excitement when Namgoonghyuk responded that he would come to the day and night banquet.
“My grandmother will become rich.”
“yes. “I will make your grandmother rich by eating two bowls at a time.”
“great.”
As I watched Haneul and Kungjjak getting along so well, it felt like they were going to keep coming and going.
“What about that Korean restaurant over there?”
It wasn’t something I really needed to worry about, but they kept coming so I couldn’t help but ask. It seemed like the Korean restaurant wasn’t even open yet, so I was wondering what they were going to do now.
“Oh, twelve months? Even if you want to open it, you can’t.”
Namgoonghyuk answered as if it was no big deal. She was so annoyed that anyone who heard it would think it was someone else’s store.
“How can I open it if I don’t have a chef?”
“So, get a cook.”
“You’re trying to save it. That’s because it doesn’t work out.”
As Namgoonghyuk spoke while looking straight into Eunyul’s eyes, it was a situation that made her sigh.
“I’m sick of it, I’m sick of it.”
“If you are persistent, there will be no one who can follow you.”
Namgoonghyuk nodded and ruffled Haneul’s hair. Haneul laughed, wondering what good that was, and she held out a spoon to him. Then, Namgung-hyuk moved away from her chair, sat down, and placed a side dish on the child’s spoon. What is this again?
“Why are they serving side dishes?”
“The grandmother here said that. why? “Can’t I upload it?”
On the contrary, when Namgoonghyuk asked, Eunyul couldn’t say anything even though she had a lot to say. He had no reason to stop Haneul from serving side dishes.
Moreover, it was natural for Haneul to hold out a spoon, as if he had done this more than once or twice.
It was only 3 days. One day I cycled, the next day I fell asleep, so I stayed for two nights and on the third day, I finally came to look for Haneul.
Seeing how close my relationship with Namgoong Hyuk had become in that short period of time was just shocking.
That seemed to be the same for Kang Ha-jun, who was sitting next to him.
“What side dish do you like best?”
“I like ribs the most, followed by barley gulbi, and white kimchi is good, and kimchi is also good. And I also like tteokgalbi.”
“Do you only like meat and kimchi?”
“I just said whatever came to mind, and I didn’t just like it.”
“If you just say what comes to mind, that’s the best thing.”
“Only Hanjeongsik is in my head.”
Namgoonghyuk pretended to have a conversation with Haneul and glanced at Eunyul. In my head, there is only Han Jeongsik. I still can’t give up on you. It was a word that implicitly appealed to that meaning.
Now that she has no debt to repay, she is disgusted when she sees Namgoonghyeok’s courtship just like the first time.
It was then. Kang Ha-jun, who only moved his gaze from looking at Namgoong-hyuk to the kitchen and did not say much, opened his mouth.
“All you have to do is open the door for twelve months.”
“what? Well, you have to open it. We need to stop teasing the kids we hired and make them work… … .”
Namgoonghyuk’s voice became quieter, perhaps because of Kang Ha-jun’s business-like question or because he was teasing an employee.
“for a moment… … “Aren’t the customers who came back then people who worked at Twelve Months?”
Eunyul, who had hosted a group of 30 guests last time, looked at Namgoonghyuk like he was crazy. Are you sure you picked it up like that and are still making fun of it?
Here at Suni’s Haejangguk, Eunyul’s salary is equivalent to half of the sales.
“You human. “If it were me, I would find the right person and open the door quickly.”
Eunyul shook her head as the person she couldn’t understand completely, but Namgoonghyeok was confident as if he had something to say.
“It’s better not to open it with clumsy skills.”
Saying outrageous things to other people in a very shameless manner.
“Even though it’s not my money, why is it such a waste?”
Although Eunyul thought about the money she must have lost, she completely ignored Namgoonghyuk. I can’t be a chef for 12 months just because it’s a waste.
As Eun-yul was putting side dishes for Haneul, who was still eating, Kang Ha-jun called Namgoong-hyuk.
“How did they select the staff there?”
“Well, interview them and bring in a few more…” … No, why am I answering? “What are we going to do?”
“I’m thinking about twelve months and ten ways.”
“Why you?”
“If you open the door there, you won’t come here.”
So, when I revealed that I was seriously thinking about it, Namgoonghyuk’s eyes took on a rebellious light.
“I don’t think I’m going to tell you a particularly good way, so don’t act like you’re trying. “Because that doesn’t mean I’m going.”
Namgoonghyuk clicked his tongue.
“Suddenly you act like we’re business partners, it’s not even funny. Is there anything else you want? “Something that treats you with courtesy like before?”
In the past, even though I treated Kang Ha-Jun well, I couldn’t do that when it came to work. When Namgoonghyuk scolded him asking if he really wanted that, Kang Hajun looked at him in silence.
“As expected, that’s it. If that’s the case… … what? “Why next?”
Namgoonghyuk was acting as if he had no problem, but when Kang Hajun glanced to the side, he turned his head and was surprised.
I don’t know when they finished eating, but Haneul was drinking water and looking at the two people. As soon as he made eye contact with Haneul, Namgoonghyuk erased his rebellious expression and smiled heartily, as if it had never happened before.
“This wasn’t a fight, it was just a conversation. conversation.”
Then Haneul narrowed his eyes and looked suspicious.
“I don’t think so.”
“This is how we usually talk. Really.”
If he loses to Haneul here, he might grab Kang Ha-jun’s hand again. And this time, Namgoong Hyuk desperately made an excuse, fearing that people would accept him if he said he really loved him.
“My uncle opened a store. But they’re worried because I haven’t started a business yet.”
“Are you not doing business?”
Namgoonghyuk was secretly relieved to see Haneul quickly diverting his attention to something else, and began to explain.
And Eunyul, who was looking at Namgoonghyeok, asked Hajun Kang.
“Do you want to help me?”
As Kang Ha-jun listed the conditions one by one, Eun-yul remembered the restaurant she went to last time. He said that Kang Ha-jun also told him to take the menu out to the outside so that people passing by could see it.
So, are you trying to find a similar way this time?
“But isn’t there a faster way to keep that person from coming to the restaurant?”
Hearing Eunyul’s words, Kang Ha-jun gave her a questioning look.
“You can just tell me to play with Hyeonjeha.”
First of all, the problem is that people are sticking their butts to this restaurant. Kang Ha-jun shook his head softly at the method suggested by Eun-yul.
“I’ll come with you.”
“ah… … .”
* * *
“Wow, it’s a house!”
Eunyul smiled happily at the excited shout of Haneul who entered the house, but then stopped.
It was a place I only planned to live in for three months, but I accepted it as home so naturally. Eun-yul, wondering if this was okay, grabbed the sleeve of Kang Ha-jun, who was ahead.
“why?”
Kang Ha-jun turned his head with his center of gravity shifted backwards. Eunyul, who was wondering what to say first because she had caught him reflexively, was at a loss and said exactly what came into her head.
“Is this our house?”
It was a word without any explanation. He tried to add why he thought that way, but soon Kang Ha-jun’s gaze fell away from him. He slowly scanned the entire house, from the living room to the bedroom, looking for signs of Haneul.
Removed socks are in the laundry basket and cups of water are left in a pile on the table. I can hear the sound of water coming from the bathroom, so I guess he’s washing his hands.
Those were all things Haneul did when she came home. Haneul, with a face that had barely washed her face, went straight into her playroom. I don’t know if I plan to play until I go to bed or if I will take out the book provided on one side and study.
Kang Ha-jun, who was thinking about the need to classify the playroom and study room, looked at Eunyul again.
“huh. “It’s our house.”
“So what I was trying to say was… … .”
“You and Sky’s house. And if you allow it, this is the house I want to stay in too.”
Kang Ha-jun spoke clearly while making eye contact with Eun-yul.
“I wish I could live here for a long time instead of living in a temporary house. “If it’s a burden, why don’t you take out the deposit you put down on your previous house and give it to me?”
“A deposit?”
It was 5 million won given by Kang Ha-jun. He was not using it and used it as a deposit for a monthly rental house, but when he asked for only that money instead of living in this house, he did not say that he would do it right away.
“Buy this house with that money.”
“It doesn’t make sense at all. “This is the first time I’ve seen someone so open-minded and willing to be scammed.”
Eun-yul pushed away Kang Ha-jun’s suggestion, saying it was nonsense. I know that he decorated this house for Haneul from the beginning and really wants to give the house itself, but buying it for 5 million won is ridiculous.
Eun-yul let go of Kang Ha-jun’s sleeve and went inside. I took out Haneul’s inside-out socks from the laundry basket, placed them properly, rinsed the cup she had been drinking from, and put it on the drying rack.
Then, I went to the bathroom, washed my hands, came out, closed the door, and returned to Kang Ha-jun.
“Let’s contract again. This time, with a slightly broader mind… … .”
As a homeowner and lover.
Kang Ha-jun did not hesitate at all and hugged Eun-yul.
“dad! let’s hang out together.”
I quickly fell in love with the voice of Haneul, who was carrying a toy.
“The sky talks when it sleeps.”
* * *
Eunyul moved the block around and looked at Haneul. The days of looking for Haneul have passed and my cycle has ended.
So, it was time to have a serious conversation with my child, but as I was looking at Haneul, I hesitated.
