Cheat day

Heave-ho

“That’s right.” Even if he says he wants to go eat tteokbokki on a date, this is still true.

Joo Ji-seung let out a hollow laugh.

“What kind of life did you live?” “Say something, Jichan.”

When Jujiseung asked for help, Chajichan rubbed his cheeks with his thumb and index finger.

“I don’t think what I said was wrong either.”

“See?”

It has been revealed that Cha Ji-chan shares the same opinion as us.

“Heh.”

Jujiseung looked up as if in disbelief.

“Chanyong, do you really go out to eat with someone you don’t even like on the weekends?” Watching movies and going for walks?

“That’s a trap.”

I finally know exactly what Jujiseung doesn’t understand.

We’re just going to stay friends. Haven’t we done this a few times before? But everyone was saying that. I didn’t mean to. If I misunderstood, I’m sorry. He said he wants to stay friends.

Cha Ji-chan and Baek Woo-jin nodded.

Phew. Okay. Let’s change the question. What do you think about PD Mook?

“Cool.” Really amazing. Even though they are younger than me, I respect them.

“Instead of talking about what kind of person PD Mook is.” How do you feel about PD Muk?

“Thank you.”

“Again.” How about being together?

“Okay.” Warm and cozy. While working with the PD, only good things happened. No. There were tough times, but we handled them well together, right? These days, I’m glad to see the PD often smiling, maybe because he’s finally getting used to it. Very.

“That’s what liking is.”

“…….”

I don’t quite understand, so I look at Cha Ji-chan and Baek Woo-jin, and they also tilt their heads.

“Is that so?”

I don’t know. 난.”

“Think it over carefully.” They said we’ve talked a lot during that time. Think back on how you treated PD Muk.

After thinking for a moment, I checked the time.

I still had about 10 minutes to spare, so I said a few words to Mukji.

“But seriously, we didn’t talk about anything special.”

Joo Ji-seung, Cha Ji-chan, and Baek Woo-jin leaned their upper bodies closer.

“PD had some work come up, so he was having a hard time.” So the PD wasn’t wrong. He’s a really nice person. I said that.

“And?”

“It seemed like you didn’t really believe it, so even though we haven’t been together long, I’ve been watching over you.” It’s sincere. At first, it might be a bit awkward, but I said let’s get to know each other slowly.

The eyes of the three people became round.

“What?”

“What do you know?”

“I told you.” Eating disorder. Let’s get healthy together.

“And?”

“Why are you asking all of a sudden?” So these days, I’ve been smiling a lot. I thought we had gotten closer, so I asked if it was just my misunderstanding. But they say it’s not a misunderstanding.

The next day, Joo Ji-seung, Cha Ji-chan, and Baek Woo-jin exchanged glances.

“Again?”

Uh……. These days, you’ve been eating well, so your complexion has really improved, hasn’t it? I said it looked good. 아! Don’t misunderstand. It’s not about judging appearances or anything like that. I was really worried about my health, so I’m glad to hear that it’s getting better, and the PD didn’t seem to be in a bad mood either.

“Again.”

“Again?”

“Hurry!”

Um. Ah, I’m really glad that the PD is by my side. I said thank you.

“Chanyong.” Sigh.

“This is totally garbage, right?”

Joo Ji-seung let out a long sigh, and Cha Ji-chan made a face as he saw fit.

“What, what is it?” “What’s wrong with everyone?”

“Anyone can see that they like PD Muk.”

I was taken aback by Jujiseung’s words.

“What are you talking about?” I’m just being friendly.

“Anyone could tell it was a confession, dude.”

Cha Ji-chan also added a word.

“Eh.”

“It seems like we’ve gotten closer.” Let’s get to know each other slowly. They said it was pretty.

“How is that a confession?”

“Ugh.” This frustrating kid.

When Cha Ji-chan hit his chest, Baek Woo-jin, who had been watching, stepped forward.

“I think I said I liked you too?”

“Look, even someone who doesn’t know a damn thing knows this.”

Cha Ji-chan pointed at Baek Woo-jin and said.

“Is there any room for misunderstanding here?” I was just being sincere.

“Exactly!”

“Isn’t that sincerity a crush?!”

Joo Ji-seung and Cha Ji-chan shouted at the same time.

Sigh. Bro, seriously, you have no consideration.

When I was so flustered that I couldn’t say anything, Baek Woo-jin stepped in.

“What?”

“Don’t you even think about Eunji’s feelings?” What if the CEO confesses to me? How would I go to work? I can’t accept it, and if I refuse, it feels awkward and I think I’ll be at a disadvantage, so I can’t even refuse the request to come in on the weekend.

If Joo Ji-seung, who is married, or Cha Ji-chan, who has at least been in a relationship once, said it, I could at least understand, but it pisses me off when someone like me, who has never dated, says it.

“I know.” I know that my liking someone can hurt someone else too! So you didn’t have any feelings for the PD either? “Do you really have to say it like that to feel better?”

“That’s not it.” Chan-yong.

“Hey, Baek Woo-jin, get out.” Because of you, the conversation keeps going off track.

Cha Ji-chan pushed Baek Woo-jin away.

“What did I do?”

“Seriously, if you say one more word, I’ll sew your mouth shut.”

“Ugh!”

Cha Ji-chan tightly held Baek Woo-jin’s lips.

There’s no time. I have to go.

“Chanyong.”

The temple master called me over.

I’m in such a hurry that I’m pacing back and forth.

“Go out and do as you usually do today.” But tomorrow, after finishing work, stay and listen to what I have to say. Got it?

“Got it.” I’m leaving.

When I arrived at the meeting place, the aged kimchi was already out and waiting.

“Did you wait a long time?”

“No.” Just arrived.

I burned the aged kimchi and headed towards Gangnam.

“You had a regular meal yesterday.” Are you okay now?

Yes. There were no issues.

“That’s a relief.”

There is a sense of fulfillment from eating porridge and gruel all this time.

“By the way, where are you going?”

“Before I got diabetes, there was a place I really loved and used to go to often.” I’m going to celebrate PD-nim’s regular meal.

I pressed the voice recognition button and said “M Restaurant.”

“It’s an unusual name.”

“Right?” Try searching for it.

The restaurant name is unique and easy to remember.

Mugunji, sitting in the passenger seat, looked at his smartphone and then turned his head.

“Is this a dessert bar?”

“That’s right.” It comes in an omakase style, but it’s also great for meals.

It won’t do. Your blood sugar, sir.

“It’s okay.” I’ve been keeping my fasting blood sugar at 90 lately. It’s okay just this once.

“Letting your guard down is not an option.” It would be better elsewhere.

“It’s okay.” Really.”

Feeling Mukkunji’s gaze, I turned my head for a moment and saw a deeply worried look with narrowed brows.

“Actually, I’ve been holding back for too long, and I want to go.” We’re going to eat and take a walk anyway. “If you walk, your blood sugar will be controlled, so don’t worry.”

“Really?”

“Really.”

Mugunji looked at his smartphone for a moment and then opposed again.

“It seems like it will be expensive.”

“30,000 won per person.”

“It’s expensive.”

“Considering the price alone, it’s not cheap, but with this kind of atmosphere and food quality, honestly, I think it’s a bargain.”

Mugunji looked over the blog and said worriedly.

“I have never been to a place like this before.”

“It’s just like a regular restaurant.” Just go and enjoy the food.

“Still.”

“Could you go with me?” I don’t have anyone to go around with here.

“Didn’t you say you used to go there often?”

“With Woojin.”

The aged kimchi nods its head.

Suddenly, the conversation I had a moment ago with Ju Ji-seung, Cha Ji-chan, and Baek Woo-jin lingered in my mind.

Actually, I don’t want to go, but since it’s hard to outright refuse, I think I’ll come up with various excuses to decline indirectly.

“Are you very uncomfortable?”

“No.” Why is that?

“Just in case you don’t want to go, I thought I might be forcing you.” If you really don’t want to go, go somewhere else.

“That’s not it.” “I’m just worried about your blood sugar, sir.”

“It’s a cheat day.”

“A cheat day is not a day to eat whatever you want.”

“Uh……. Right?

“That’s right.”

“Still, it’s hard to make a reservation here.” I only thought about today.

While driving, I glanced at the aged kimchi and slightly lowered my head.

“Shall we just go somewhere else?”

“Did you look forward to today that much?”

“Of course.” How long have I been waiting?

Mukji turned his head towards the window.

“If you thought that much.”

“Right?”

“Still, please make sure to check your blood sugar.”

“Of course.” Of course.”

If you enter the small alley between Gangnam Station and Yangjae Station, an old building with red tiles comes into view.

Even when climbing the narrow stairs, I wonder if there really is a good restaurant here, but beyond the dark green door, Hansel and Gretel live.

Hello. I reserved it for side dishes.

Hello. I will guide you this way.

I sat at the end of the bar table, which only allowed six seats.

Muk-ji looked around.

“It’s a cute store.”

“Right?”

“I will guide you through the menu.”

The employee showed the tablet.

It’s the most exciting time.

“These are all names I’ve never seen before.”

“Me too.” The menu changes with each season, so you have to come at least once. If you don’t eat it then, you won’t be able to eat it later.

When I put down the tablet, there was something I could eat for an additional charge.

“Please add this for us as well.”

“Would two be okay?”

“Yes.”

“Aren’t you ordering too much?”

“It’s okay.” If you don’t order, you’ll definitely regret it later.

The staff member smiled slightly.

One of the advantages of this place is that they make desserts right in front of your eyes, and as you watch the staff’s hands, before you know it, a piece of art is completed.

The overwhelming feeling when it was placed in front of me is beyond words.

“Pickled red tomatoes, topped with Parmesan cheese jelly on tomato espuma.” It’s good to scoop and eat it all at once. Enjoy your meal.

“I will eat well.”

“I will eat well.”

It’s so beautiful that I can’t help but take a picture.

Even though it was an old map, it was so fascinating that I took out my smartphone, took a picture, looked around, and asked to confirm.

“Is it okay if we eat together at once?”

Yes. You can eat together.

I picked up the spoon and dug into the cheese without mercy. It’s a shame that the pretty shape got ruined, but here, it’s always beneficial to eat as you’re told.

As I picked up the spoon, cheese and tomato espuma, and refried tomato pickles were served together.

Taking a bite, the crunchy texture of the pickled leplomato stands out between the smooth tomato espuma.

Adding chewy cheese to it enhances the smooth, crunchy, and chewy textures, elevating the experience.

It’s not just about the texture.

The acidity, umami, and sweetness resonated like a waltz, creating a perfect ballroom in my mouth.

Wow. It’s really delicious. Isn’t it?

I turned my head out of curiosity to see how Mukeunji reacted.

She was frozen with an expression I’d never seen before.

She couldn’t quite put her spoon down, her eyes wide open, and her jaw moving slightly.

Noticing my gaze, she slowly turned her head and nodded.

“It’s delicious. Very much so. I’ve never had anything like this.”

With a slightly surprised look, Mukeunji took another bite.

Watching her lively spoon movements and her face full of surprise made my heart flutter.
