chapter 18
3. One step, two steps.
Rather, it was better to talk about things that happened in the past like that.
At first, Kyunghee couldn’t even tell her likes or dislikes.
If you talk more and more in this way, it is I who thank you.
Of course, it would be embarrassing for Kyunghee to say it directly, so I read the comic book without saying anything.
As if it was not a lie that Kyung-hee came to study, she kept replaying the same scene from the cartoon.
“Are you going to use it later?”
“Yeah… Actually, I haven’t gotten too much attention, so… I’m working on it.”
“yes?”
“I’ll show you how much money I make later. And when I get my first payment, let’s eat out.”
Kyunghee smiled with her eyes shining.
Then, he started talking about wanting to buy food for a friend from before.
I tried to eat out, but there wasn’t much food to eat, so I said I couldn’t go with a friend.
“You have to eat porridge to eat without straining, but you know that.”
“Well, I don’t think anyone would buy porridge and eat it. Unless it’s quite tasty.”
“I can’t even digest kimbap properly. So, I couldn’t fit other kids into eating out.”
“How did you eat during your school days?”
“With kimchi washed in water and rice. If the soup wasn’t stimulating, I just rolled it up and ate it.”
“Any other side dishes?”
“Of course I couldn’t eat it. So, even if I didn’t receive it, I shared it with my friends.”
So, Kyung-hee jokingly laughed, saying that she couldn’t say whether she liked or disliked grassroots or pineapple pizza.
If I ate both, my body would die, so I couldn’t buy food and I had no money.
He stroked Kyunghee’s head once, promising to feed him a variety of foods from now on.
At least if you can cook at home, you can do it in a variety of ways.
And like Kyung-hee said, it seemed like it would be okay to teach me how to make a Korean meal.
“Why, you know. Korean food centered on soybean paste stew. I know how to make side dishes.”
“Really, Siwoo?”
“I’ll teach you everything if you want.”
“I wanted to try egg rolls. Omelets too.”
Kyunghee started to name various foods.
But for some reason, whenever I heard the name of the food, I felt a surge of anxiety.
Apparently, Kyunghee is talking while laughing.
I’m really saying my wish because I want to cook for myself.
It is normal for her voice to be excited, and in reality, Kyunghee is excited.
……… But instinctively, I wondered if this was dangerous.
The reason was unknown. However, I thought that it would be dangerous for Kyunghee to cook.
So, I was thinking about it for a while to find out the reason, but Kyunghee seemed to be puzzled.
“Oh, Siwoo.”
“Yes?”
“Are you afraid of cartoons? I thought it was a horror cartoon.”
“Ah, this?”
“Ouch, I hate that author. He draws horror comics so well.”
Of course, the scene in the cartoon was also a scene where a ghost was about to attack a housewife who was cooking.
Yes, it must have been that the scene from the manga I read earlier and the name of the dish overlapped, causing anxiety.
I decided to think so and finished reading the manga I was reading.
Kyunghee also said that she talked too much, and calmly fixed her eyes on the cartoon.
In the middle, we drank another soda that the store manager brought, and the two of us continued to read the manga.
It was around 1:30 pm when I told the manager that I had a good time and came out.
“Let’s go eat chicken ribs.”
“Yes. By the way, Siwoo. Can you buy me a rope?”
“rope?”
I couldn’t understand why he suddenly asked me to buy a rope.
So when I tried to guess from Kyung-hee’s expression, I saw a confused Kyung-hee.
Then he started spitting out some words.
Only then did I know what to buy.
“You’re asking me to buy you a band for your workout?”
“Oh, right. That’s it.”
“But I couldn’t think of it and said it was a rope? It’s cute.”
“Uh…”
Kyunghee bowed her head in shame.
Well, I couldn’t help but be ashamed of making mistakes like this often.
Of course, it was really cute from the standpoint of watching from the sidelines.
I looked at Kyung-hee’s face, which turned into a tomato that was getting redder and hotter, and then poked his cheek with the tip of my finger.
Kyung-hee was startled and flustered, then grabbed my arm and bowed her head.
“You may be mistaken, Kyung-hee.”
“Yeah, but if you make a mistake, they keep looking at you as if you’re cute…”
“Why. I don’t like it? I think you’re cute, Kyunghee.”
“Ah, no… It’s cute… but I’m so happy to hear it from you…”
Kyeong-hee blurted out and then laughed.
It seemed that his ears were moving slowly back and forth.
It was a pity that he couldn’t see Kyung-hee’s ears because he was outside.
If it was at home, I would have grabbed it by the ear and stroked it.
Kyung-hee must have had sensitive ears, and whenever she touched her ears, she would beg with a slurred tone.
It wasn’t particularly painful, but I used to protest because it felt weird and unbearable.
“Bar, I just had a weird idea.”
“No, it’s Kyunghee.”
“Ugh… did you get goosebumps?”
“It’s my mood, it’s my mood.”
As I slowly opened the door to the dakgalbi shop and entered, Kyung-hee looked around curiously.
Then, I fixed my eyes on the word soju written on the menu.
Well, both lunch and dinner today were food that went well with alcohol.
Even so, I shook my head saying no, because I had no intention of going around after drinking from 1:00 PM.
Instead, when we asked her to have a drink for dinner, Kyunghee nodded her head and her eyes lit up.
“I don’t hate alcohol. I just couldn’t drink because drinking made me sick.”
“aha.”
“Isn’t it better to quit than to die? But you don’t have to put up with it anymore.”
Kyung-hee smiled proudly.
Then, Liu Liang said, “Don’t worry,” and stood up proudly.
Then, as if she remembered the last time she drank a lot and got drunk, Kyung-hee bowed her head and smiled shyly.
The chicken ribs seemed to be enough for two people. If you order fried rice instead, the amount will be just right.
After eating all the chicken ribs here, they let us fry the rice in the frying pan where the chicken ribs were cooked.
Sprinkling seaweed powder and cracking an egg in the center was the same as in other houses.
However, there was one unique service unique to this house.
“Wow…”
“Is this your first time seeing this?”
Shaking the barrel full of unidentified meat, Kyunghee looked at the barrel curiously.
Then he started glancing at the meat in the barrel, asking what this was.
“Because this is a butcher shop upstairs here?
“So, what about this?”
“There is meat that is thrown away, so it’s called back meat. It’s not meat that you can’t eat.”
“Oh, I’ve heard of it. They sell it cheaply.”
“Yeah. That’s why I cut it into small pieces and serve it like this. Eat it as a side dish.”
“So, this is… ham and sausage? This too?”
“Yeah. The Spam and Sausages that come out for service are also cut into small pieces.”
“Ahahahaha…… But, Siwoo.”
“yes?”
“Are you giving me just one egg?”
“No, as many as the number of people. So each person can eat fried eggs.”
“Five………”
Kyunghee slowly nodded her head in wonder.
There was no way that there was anything that was not strange to Kyunghee.
He said that he only went back and forth between his home and the academy, so he would not know this at all.
So from now on, I decided to tell you more about these things, and started grilling the chicken ribs that Alba had served.
A sweet smell rose quickly.
Kyung-hee must have been quite hungry, and her eyes were fixed on the fire.
“Because they’ve already been unglazed once? So you don’t have to stir-fry them for long.”
“So, how long do we have to wait?”
“Since you’ve left the side dishes, I’m eating at least that.”
“Yes.”
Kyunghee took out her chopsticks and started eating the side dishes.
Then, looking at the steamed egg, he said, as if he was curious.
“It’s pink!”
“Oh, that? It’s food coloring. It’s for bread, you know?”
“wow……….”
“I like people who like them because they are pretty.
“It’s nice because it’s pretty. It’s pink… It’ll be worth seeing if you cut it into a heart shape.”
“Do you want to try it at home later? Food coloring, I’ll come if you order it online.”
“yes!”
Then, when we asked to bake bread or steam rice cakes if there was any pigment left, Kyung-hee’s eyes lit up.
I had been watching a home cafe video on YouTube for a long time, and it seemed that I really wanted to do it.
When I asked him to take it slow later, since he had money and time anyway, Kyung-hee nodded his head.
As if the reaction was clear, I could see the people in the kitchen smiling heartily.
They seemed to think that they were a fresh college student couple, but I had no intention of denying it.
Kyung-hee was eating the grilled chicken ribs in various ways.
Wrapped in radish or wrapped with lettuce and perilla leaves.
To be honest, I don’t know if it’s fair to compare people to animals, but when Kyung-hee ate, she looked more like a squirrel than a rabbit.

Judging by the way he chewed his food until his cheeks puffed up, he was indeed a squirrel.
It was like filling a food bag full of food.
It was as if they didn’t even know how delicious it was, or how much chicken rib seasoning was on their lips.
So, I took a wet tissue from the store and wiped Kyung-hee’s mouth.
“Joe, did you eat a little faster?”
“No. I think I was hungry. You can eat more.”
“then……….”
After that, Kyung-hee ate all the side dishes, ate chicken ribs, and then scratched up fried rice to eat.
As soon as I finished paying and left thinking that I felt good because I ate well, Kyung-hee clung to me and acted cute.
“If I keep eating like this, I don’t know if I’ll get fat and not be treated like a pregnant woman. My stomach has become very full today.”
“Do you like to eat?”
“Yeah. When I was weak, I ate every bite, but now I don’t have to.”
“Somehow, it seems like he likes to eat.”
“That’s right. So, in the future, Siwoo, you make my stomach full. Continue.”
“Okay, I’ll make you a lot of delicious food in the future.”
“yes.”
Since I ate, I felt like I had to walk.
The band that Kyung-hee offered to buy later thought it was a scam, and told them to walk around the mall with their arms crossed.
Kyeong-hee nodded, saying that she would have to digest it anyway.
Wishing for a peaceful daily life like this in the future, I went around the mall with Kyunghee.
