Part 2 Chapter.3 Newlyweds and Daily Life

***

“This bastard?”

Wow!

A strong kick landed in the young man’s body.

“Don’t come near me again. “It’s an order from the boss.”

Pain to the point where I couldn’t breathe. In it, the men trampled the young man several times as if to kill him.

The good news is that he didn’t intend to kill me, so he just gave me enough pain to make me lose my senses and disappeared.

Wow.

Cluck, cluck, cluck.

The young man who had been beaten staggered to his feet, breathing heavily.

No matter how much you suffer, you can never give up before you die. Getting beaten was very common since I was young, so I was proud of my tenacity.

So it makes no sense to give up like this.

‘But where can I find Seon-hye… ?’

It doesn’t matter if you’re right. It didn’t matter what happened to this body, but the problem was different.

I didn’t sigh when I got hit, but I couldn’t help but sigh when I thought about her.

Phew.

The night has already become dark. I feel like I want to search for it from now on, but what is impossible is impossible.

The young man just sighed and trudged into the residential area where his room was.

click-!

Then suddenly the sound of a camera was heard.

When I inadvertently raised my head, I saw a woman taking a selfie in front of a streetlight.

Then he sat down and looked at his phone, then nodded his head as if he didn’t like it.

It was a scene that made you feel like there was something you didn’t like because the cheeks were puffed out even from a distance.

Although he had black hair, he had a somewhat exotic appearance. The street lights made my features clearly visible.

Was there anyone that pretty in our neighborhood? I don’t think you’re Korean? That’s what I thought of the young man, but that was it. If I was in a difficult situation, I would have helped, but that wasn’t the case, so I walked back toward the house.

However, since this residential area is quiet, I wonder if it would be okay to do that alone.

He was a young man with a strong sense of justice from an early age. In a world where the idea that protecting one’s own body is a priority despite seeing injustice prevails, there have been many twists and turns, including unnecessary beatings, due to a sense of justice.

However, because I believe that thanks to his personality, he was able to live until now and begin a relationship with Seon-hye, the young man was still upright even though he suffered many disadvantages due to his inability to tolerate injustice.

“Lurin! Stop coming in! “Time has passed.”

At that time, I heard a voice from up the stairs.

ah. There’s someone with you. The young man was relieved. Then, thinking that I had nothing to worry about, I walked again.

“I don’t have a photo I like yet. “You can’t beat the picture you took of me!”

“That’s because I take better pictures of you. On the other hand, if it was a bet to take my picture, you would have won, right? So it was my win from the start.”

“What is that! “It’s a scam!”

“So come up.”

“Ugh.”

Rurin passed by the young man and began to go up the stairs, holding her cell phone to her face with a very resentful look on her face.

Do they live in the same place? I went up the stairs thinking that the name Rulin meant that she was a foreigner.

Because his destination was also on the stairs.

“Uh huh? “Huh?”

“Yumma!”

Then the young man was surprised. Because the woman started falling down the stairs. Rurin was so caught up in her cell phone that she stumbled while climbing the stairs and fell backwards. But falling for Rurin is a very common thing.

However, the young man, who could not have known that fact, moved with the sole intention of saving the person.

Cradangtang-!

A loud sound rang out. Originally, he was going to support the falling woman from behind, but he got his balance wrong and the young man himself fell down the stairs.

As a result, the young man was crushed to the ground, and Rurin was placed on top of him as if he were a cushion.

A startled Elle ran down the stairs and shouted.

“Are you okay, Lurin?”

Then Lurin lightly jumped forward on her legs and stood up, shaking off her hands.

“Okay. “Something like this.”

“No, it should be fine in the first place, but isn’t the reason it’s okay now because you’re putting that person down?”

“Huh? “Who is this?”

Lurin looked at the young man on the floor with a surprised face. El grabbed the young man’s arm with a puzzled look on his face.

“Are you okay?”

As I said before, I am a young man, and I have lived a life of perseverance. That’s why I stood up with a shy face and nodded.

“yes. it’s okay. “It’s okay since he’s safe.”

“You helped me instantly and without hesitation. I really appreciate your help.”

It’s meaningless to assume that because it’s Rurin, she wouldn’t have been hurt. Anyway, I am thankful for his willingness to help.

That’s why El bowed her head sincerely towards the young man. Of course I am grateful, especially since it was put on my behalf.

Even if it didn’t hurt, I didn’t want even the slightest scratch on Lurin’s body.

“Oh no.”

As a young man, the young man felt good about El’s words. This is a world where there are many people who say things to you even if you help them.

Actually, I’ve experienced a lot of bad things. So, it was true that I was purely happy when I received gratitude.

However, El is stronger. In particular, L is a man armed with the logic that a favor must be repaid a hundredfold.

That’s why he flew to a distant city and opened a restaurant to repay his old debt. And now that foolishness is starting to come into play.

“Do you live on the second floor?”

“yes.”

“Oh, we got to stay for a while too. “This is my wife.”

“Oh, you are a married couple… ?”

“yes.”

El nodded strongly.

“Yes. They are a couple. Hi-Hi.”

Lurin started to twist her body slightly because she really liked the word ‘couple’. The young man scratched the back of his head, feeling envious as he watched the two of them like that.

“Anyway, I’m not hurt anywhere, so I’ll just go up.”

There was nothing more to say, so the young man said goodbye and started to go up the stairs. However, El’s arrogance, which had already been demonstrated, caught such a young man.

“wait a minute.”

Receiving help from a remote place but not repaying the favor is something that is not in L’s dictionary.

Even if it was a wound smaller than 1mm on Rurin’s body, preventing it from occurring is already a huge help to El.

“Are you really hurt? Plus, the blood stains… .”

“Oh, this has absolutely nothing to do with now. “Never!”

That’s right. L thought so, but still had doubts. Blood stains and bad complexion. The persimmons I honed at the restaurant strongly told me that there was a story behind them.

“It’s fortunate that I received help from the person who lives next door, so how about having a quick drink in my room? There are good drinks and snacks, so please treat them lightly. “I think I can sleep peacefully if I repay you in this way.”

“that… .”

The young man scratched his head again. I wanted to go home and lie down and think about how to solve this problem, but I thought it wasn’t a virtue to refuse so many offers.

“Then I’ll just take a drink and leave.”

“yes. “Well thought out.”

When the young man accepted, El smiled cheerfully. The young man thought it was a smile that made him feel good.

Among the people you’ve met so far, has there ever been a person who smiled like this and made you feel good just by looking at them?

***

Bubble bubble.

The hot pot is boiling inside the pot. It was a stew made with leftover meat and mushrooms taken from the ruins.

First, add everything you need to add, such as red pepper powder, soy sauce, red pepper sauce, soup soy sauce, etc. to the broth seasoned with anchovies and kelp, and then add mushrooms to create a soup that cannot be left out unless it is delicious.

The point here is the mushroom that tasted like tires taken from the ruins. If you eat it on its own, it’s really tasteless, but if you bake it, it gives off a delicious aroma that makes you feel umami.

So I thought about adding it to the soup as is, but the test results were a huge success.

Mushrooms that had only a good aroma and not much flavor when roasted are transformed into completely different mushrooms when soaked in soup.

That’s why I was thinking about using it when I go back to the restaurant.

The product presented to the youth now is the prototype.

-Rurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Perhaps because of the scent, someone’s stomach growled. Rurin, who was sitting next to me and playing on her phone, tilted her head and shouted.

“It’s not me.”

“Yeah, you probably aren’t. “I ate earlier.”

“Oh, I’m sorry.”

Then the young man who introduced himself as ‘Lee Jin-ha’ scratched his head with a red face.

He looks younger than me. However, I had the impression that I had experienced all sorts of hardships before birth.

“I think it’s because I didn’t eat anything today. “It smells so delicious that my stomach is going crazy.”

“Wait a moment. The meat is cooked. Try it with the soup. “When you’re hungry, you just have to eat.”

I grumbled and handed the soup and meat to the young man on his plate. Lurin seemed more interested in her phone than eating right now. You already ate a lot earlier.

There doesn’t seem to be much interest in inviting the young man. This happened often in restaurants as well. Of course, I didn’t invite you to Rare, but to a restaurant.

Lurin seemed to think it was an extension of that, and was just pressing her back against me. He is a guy who rarely opposes what I do. It’s because you don’t want to bother asking yourself to do something.

“This is really delicious!”

Jinha Lee, who tasted the soup and meat, let out an exclamation with a surprised face.

“is that so?”

“yes!”

“That’s a good thing. “Please take a drink.”

“Good… ! Even so, it was a night that reminded me of alcohol.”

Jinha Lee nodded and accepted the glass.

A glass of soju with warm soup. There is nothing better than this as the night deepens. Fortunately, Jinha Lee seems to think the same way.

However, he seems to have no energy, so I should give him some stamina mushrooms.

“Then let’s try some of this.”

“Eh? that!”

At those words, Lulin suddenly stood up.

“that?”

“Ugh, that’s… !”

“What?”

“Oh no… ! I don’t know!”

Lurin then sat down again. what? What is it?

It felt suspicious, but I couldn’t bite the mushrooms I tried to add, so I just put them into the soup.

And then I glanced at Lurin. It seems as if it turns around and sits on my back again, but it turns its head slightly again to look at me. Mainly mushrooms and me.

It was Jinha Lee’s question that turned my head.

“How long have you been married?”

“Oh, it hasn’t even been a year yet.”

“okay. Newlyweds… envious.”

“I am… There was a woman I wanted to marry… .”

He mutters that and takes another sip of soju. Perhaps because he had already eaten to the point of intoxication, he looked as if he was about to tell a story.

Then I’ll have to encourage it a little bit. I don’t know what the story is, but sometimes you feel better when you tell it.

“Are you married yet?”

“That’s what… .”

Jinha Lee took another sip of his drink in response to my question. So I poured him another drink.

“are you okay. Also, try speaking calmly and not even between cheeks. Just by looking at your complexion, it seems like you have a deep story behind you. Isn’t that how people live? “I talk about it while drinking and start living again.”

At my words, Jinha Lee ate his food again, drank another glass of soju, and shook his head.

“that is… .”

He seemed to be quite drunk already. Alcohol always has the effect of making people speak out. It’s like a drunken joke.
