Cheat day

Heave-ho

While I was indulging in dessert, lost in happiness, the next dish was soon prepared.

Butternut squash ice cream and corn mousse. You can eat it from the top in order, or it tastes good when eaten together.

Thank you.

The white corn mousse placed on the yellow pea anglaise looks just like a fried egg.

The roasted kadaif shaped like a new house and the butternut squash ice cream placed inside it were arranged like an egg.

Even the same food looks so beautiful when presented like this, I can’t help but take a picture.

First, I put the egg-shaped butternut ice cream in my mouth.

Can ice cream be this rich?

Pressing gently with my tongue against the roof of my mouth, the intensely concentrated nuttiness broke through the chill.

It pairs perfectly with the dense texture.

“Where.”

This time, I had it with baked kadaif that looked like a new house.

“Wow.”

The crispiness is unparalleled.

The luxury of savoring a crispy texture between rich ice cream.

Even though it’s delicious on its own, the synergy of having the desserts together here is truly remarkable.

The pea anglaise and corn mousse also seemed to open my eyes when I took a bite.

The rich aroma of corn mousse fills the nostrils, and the savory taste of pea anglaise adds to the flavor.

The nuttiness of butternut ice cream is further amplified.

If the corn ice cream sold in stores were to evolve and evolve again to become the most perfect form, wouldn’t it taste just like this?

I want to savor it as long as possible, but I can’t stop eating.

In an instant, I emptied my bowl and looked to the side to see Muk-ji diligently eating as well.

The hand holding the spoon is cautious, the face shows confusion, and the mouth holds happiness.

“It’s really amazing.”

Yes. This is the first time I’ve had such delicious ice cream. This.

“Cardiff?”

Yes. The crispy texture of kadaif is exquisite. The scent of the corn is so nice too.

“Please, go ahead and eat.”

It seemed like he couldn’t eat because he was talking, so I offered him a meal, and Muk-ji gladly took another bite.

When you encounter unexpectedly delicious food, a surprised face like that is more likely to appear than a happy expression.

Next is the chive snack that was ordered additionally.

“We filled the tuile made with squid ink with chive nameraka, beef crumble, and wasabi mayo cream.” Enjoy your meal.

“I’ll eat well.”

“You’re so beautiful.”

I empathize.

First, I tasted the fried snack placed on top of the seaweed roll.

I did listen to the explanation, but I was so distracted by their appearance that I couldn’t properly catch their name.

“Um.”

Crispy, but there’s no special thrill.

The main dish is, of course, kimbap.

I’ve never seen the combination of beef crumble and wasabi mayo before, but it can’t possibly be a bad combination.

As I picked up the kimbap and took a big bite, the cool and sweet wasabi mayo cream burst out.

The crispy texture and subtle meaty aroma of the hearty beef crumble dance around in the mouth.

At the university festival, only unknown singers came out and the excitement faded, but if Teacher Kim Yeon-ja had appeared as the final guest, would it feel like this?

The somewhat bland fried rice has already been completely forgotten.

I just dance along to the amor fati that starts in my mouth.

Every time I bite into the crispy beef crumble, I can’t help but exclaim in delight.

Unable to contain his joy, he waved his hand, and Mukunji’s body swayed.

We couldn’t help but laugh at each other’s reactions.

Sour cream ice cream with meringue and raspberry cinnamon sauce.

Burnt Vanilla Macaron, Ginger Passion Macaron.

Please provide the text you would like to have translated.

“Whoa.”

After finishing the meal, I left the building.

The satisfaction of having eaten really delicious food spreads throughout my entire body.

I enjoyed the meal. Thank you.

“Thanks to you, PD, I finally got to eat something delicious after a long time.”

I looked for a public parking lot near Yangjaecheon, set it as my destination, and drove there.

“How was the third one?”

The meringue was delicious, but it was too much. The raspberry sauce and ice cream were delicious.

“Right?” I also found the ice cream really delicious. The butternut ice cream I had the second time too.

“That was the best.”

“Me too.” How was the macaron?

“I ate it after a really long time, but it was different from what I used to have at other places.” It was extremely smooth and the sweetness wasn’t excessive, which was nice.

When I hear that Mukbang enjoyed the food, it makes me feel good.

“Is there something on my face?”

“No.” “Why?”

“Because you laughed.”

Ah. I like it.

The aged kimchi turned its head.

I was puzzled, so I watched closely, and they were fidgeting.

Usually, I always sit up straight, but for no reason, I look around or fidget with my hands.

“Come to think of it, I’m planning to go to Gangwon-do next week.”

“Are you going to your hometown?”

“I heard there’s a great place for water chicken galbi in Dogye.” I’m planning to visit some famous restaurants and also stop by Donghae.

“I will prepare.”

“Are you okay?” You don’t have to go if you don’t want to. I’m going to stay overnight.

The conversation has ended.

“Really, it’s okay.”

“It’s so petty.”

“Yes?”

“If you say that, it’s petty.” “Rather, it would be more comforting to say let’s go together.”

It seems I was momentarily mistaken.

In my opinion, since we’re going out of town for a one-night, two-day schedule, I thought I was being considerate, but it seems like they took it as being excluded from work.

As a seasoned person with a strong sense of responsibility and ambition, it might be disappointing.

“I was worried it might be inconvenient for you.” It’s not like it’s anything else, it’s just for one night. It’s not like I’m ignoring the PD. Really.”

“…I’m an adult.” No problem at all. I’m prepared for that much.”

Since I’ve been traveling a lot to the provinces, it seems I anticipated this kind of thing from the time I joined the company.

“Really?” I didn’t expect you to think that much about it. Thank you.

“I don’t think it’s something to be thankful for.”

“Then, I’ll introduce you to my mother this time.”

“Yes?”

The aged kimchi suddenly made a loud noise, and I was startled.

Yes? Why?

“Just now, to my mother…….”

Ah. I’ve talked a lot about you, PD. If it weren’t for the PD, I would have boasted a bit about my son’s death.

I told my mother about aged kimchi, who is always worried because her son overexerts himself.

In fact, having the aged kimchi with me has definitely reduced my burden, and now there are even things I don’t have to check on my own.

“Ah…….”

“Work is like that too.” “Honestly, eating and exercising alone is really boring, isn’t it?”

“Still, it’s too sudden.”

“You don’t have to feel burdened.”

In that moment, the words Baek Woo-jin had said came to mind.

No matter how much I tell them not to feel burdened, the fact that it might sound different from Mukji’s perspective bothers me.

“Earlier, the Baek Seung-yong car group gathered.”

“Yes.”

“While we were chatting about this and that, it was time for my appointment with the PD, and Woojin told me to stop bothering him.”

“Why did Mr. Baek Woo-jin say that?”

“When my boss calls me on the weekend, it’s inconvenient.” I’m really enjoying myself, but I wanted to ask just in case.

The aged kimchi is staring at me intently.

“Have you not spoken yet?”

“What do you mean?”

A slight wrinkle appeared on Mukkunji’s forehead. I couldn’t see it clearly because I was driving, but it looked more like he was worried than angry.

“Oh, I mentioned it.”

I explained to Baek Woo-jin that I had somehow become close with Muk Eun-ji, and we ended up eating together and going for walks.

“Then why…….”

“I didn’t believe it.”

“Was that the issue?”

The aged kimchi let out a sigh.

“Anyway, if it feels burdensome, please let me know.” I don’t like it when that PD is uncomfortable.

“Understood.”

The aged kimchi wiggled its fingers and said.

“It’s still a bit overwhelming to meet your mother.”

Okay. It can’t be helped. This time, I’ll go down by myself.

“Understood.”

A little while later, we arrived at Seocho Cultural and Art Park.

As I walked in slowly, a tranquil forest with an atmosphere that seemed unbelievable for Seoul appeared.

“I didn’t know there was a place like this in Seoul.”

“Me too.” I looked for a place nearby to take a walk, and there was one.

It’s been quite a while since I moved to the city, but this is the first time.

“Do you like taking walks?”

Yes. At first, it was a hassle, but as I kept doing it for exercise, I started to enjoy it.

I like it too. This is my first time in a place like this, but I enjoy walking while looking at the street trees on my commute.

“Really?”

Yes. “I thought I had to exercise to lose weight, so I would deliberately get off a few stops early and walk.”

Even though I had minimal meals, I was obsessed with exercising.

I knew there were quite a few cases of people suffering from eating disorders, but it’s really impressive.

“That’s great.” Now that you’ve had a meal, you should be able to walk a bit more. It will also help with muscle development.

“Yes.”

Mukbangji readily answered.

“Wow.”

Behind the sign that reads “Seoul’s Path of Contemplation,” tall metasequoia trees stretch out in a long line.

“If we go this way, it seems we’ll reach Yangjaecheon.”

I turned my head.

Mugunji was looking up at the metasequoia, but there was no shade on his face because of the sunlight.

Thanks to starting to eat for two weeks, my complexion has really improved.

It squints for a moment because of the brightness and then takes a deep breath.

As the gentle breeze tousled my hair, I opened my eyes to fix it and our eyes met.

Perhaps it’s because it captured the sunlight.

The moment I met those soft and warm eyes, I couldn’t say a word.

“The smell is nice.”

Mugunji smiled slightly and then passed by me, entering the Metasequoia Road.

She looked so beautiful that I forgot about my walk and stared at her blankly for a while.

Sunlight and wind. Metasequoia. Spring flowers.

Rustle rustle. Thud thud. Rustle.

In the meantime, the aged kimchi turned around.
