chapter 5
Episode 5. Meal
Me and Kim Min-seo headed to the restaurant near the academy.
“What would you like to eat? Tteokbokki?”
“Gukbap.”
“Hmm? Rice soup?”
She looked startled. Well, the taste of men in this world is not rice soup.
But I am a man from another world. I like tonkatsu, pork stir-fry, kimchi stew, and rice soup.
In particular, rice soup is like soul food to me. Originally, there was a soup restaurant run by my grandmother near my house in the world, and it was a really good restaurant.
The kkakdugi, served as a side dish, is directly soaked and has the appropriate spiciness and coolness.
The soup was either pork or sundae soup with green onion, but the richness of the soup was different from that of other restaurants.
The meat that went into it didn’t smell at all, and it wasn’t tough, so it tasted good to eat with rice.
In particular, the rice was served with gobong rice instead of air rice, and when the rice was rolled into the soup, the soup soaked up between the grains of rice, giving it a taste.
My grandmother ran the restaurant for the fun of doing business rather than for profit. The price was only 6,000 won, and soup and rice were refilled for free.
Hey, just thinking about it makes me want to eat it again.
Unfortunately, after entering the game, the neighborhood I knew was no longer there, and naturally, there is no soup restaurant.
Kim Min-seo looked worried and said.
“Gukbap.. Okay, let’s go to a restaurant I know.”
I know she likes her soup. While playing, I met Minseo Kim, who sometimes ate soup alone.
When she met the main character couple I was playing with, she would buy them food.
In particular, Choi Seo-yoon and Kim Dong-hyun, a couple from Dong-seo, who had the most male-like personalities, often came to the soup restaurant.
You are finally here.
To Kim Min-seo’s favorite, ‘Grandpa Sundaeguk’.
As it is a southern worldview, her grandfather, not her grandmother, makes soup.
She was a grandmother in the original game, but it seems to have changed.
While playing the game, I always wanted to try it. Looking at the description, there is a story that is quite delicious.
Even in the game where you find all kinds of delicious restaurants, this restaurant is located at the top of the list.
We sat down at the right seats and ordered two bowls of sundae gukbap.
“Fish oil! Miss, have you been here for a long time? Come often! I will forget your face.”
“Ha ha.. Hello, Grandpa.”
The owner’s grandfather recognizes the regulars.
“Who is in the front? Lover?”
“Grandpa! It’s not like that, he’s a student in my class.”
“Oops~ I thought I was the Seojun you were talking about again.”
When Seojun’s name came up, Minseo glanced at me.
I don’t know who Seojun is externally. My body didn’t care, I just stared into the void.
“Wait a little bit~ I’ll make it delicious and serve it soon!”
And her grandfather went into her kitchen, humming to Minseo.
Controlling her slightly awkward mood, she opened her mouth.
“Yes, Hyeonu. Why did you ask me to buy rice all of a sudden?”
“Why, don’t you want to buy it? Then tell me I will go.”
‘Oh, why did you go out so crookedly from earlier… What the hell are you aiming for?’
I can’t understand the [NTL Master’s] Intentions. It’s NTL and it’s not just about ruining my relationship, right?
“No, it’s not like that. I was just asking out of curiosity.”
“Can I not ask? I hate to tell you.”
“If you don’t want to talk, it’s okay not to talk.”
A moment of silence flows.
I am now admiring her patience. How on earth can you show a kind attitude to someone who shows this attitude even if you buy them food?
“Then Hyunwoo, what are your hobbies? You didn’t hear me when I introduced myself earlier. Let’s talk about what you can, then. Are your hobbies okay?”
“Nothing like that.”
Um… I really don’t have any hobbies. At least it was a game, but you can’t talk about it right in the game.
Anyway, I’ve been showing a rather rude attitude since earlier.
I’ll have to go home and ask what the plan is.
“Don’t talk about me, talk about the teacher. What do you do when you are alone?”
“Well, then. I… I like to read books while listening to music.”
Well, I already know. Very well too.
But since I heard it myself, even the obvious words are fine.
“What kind of music, what kind of books?”
It must be a classic mystery novel.
“Classical music, mystery novels. I like Holmes.”
Exactly.
While chatting, soup was served.
“Two bowls of soup came out! Enjoy your meal.”
The rice soup that I have always read through text and only seen through illustrations. What does it really taste like?
– Haap.
Wow.. It’s delicious.
Really delicious. The savory and savory taste are properly mixed, and the throat is clear even when swallowing. After that, the warmth of the soup warms the inside of the body.
If a tournament is held with soup stocks gathered from all over the country, advancing to the semifinals is a certain taste.
“Whoa.. Sum, gulp.”
For a while, I passed the soup down my throat nonstop.
He also chewed and swallowed radish radish.
The cool diced radish kimchi, as if taken out of the refrigerator, neutralizes the hot soup that can burn you.
The radish was crunchy at the right intensity, and the seasoning was spicy, which really took away the greasy taste of the meat soup.
It’s as if it reminds me of the original taste of the grandmother’s hand at a soup restaurant in the world.
“Ji, you eat really well…”
Kim Min-seo’s self-talk.
Let’s take a quick look at it, beckoning and telling us to eat it quickly.
I almost buried my head in the bowl again and enjoyed the soup.
“Hi go, bachelor! Is our house soup so delicious? It fell into the very bowl, fell into the bowl!”
A grandfather who speaks an unknown dialect. It seems to be mixed up here and there…
“Bachelor! Here, I wrapped one with pork soup, so go eat it! Service, service!”
He handed me the plastic bag in which the soup was wrapped.
“Yes? No, it’s fine.”
“Uh-huh, take it quickly! Are you drawing the soup because it doesn’t taste good?”
“That is absolutely not the case.”
“Then take it quickly~. The bachelor gave it to me because he was handsome. This is the first time I’ve ever seen a young man eat soup so deliciously!”
A grandfather with a kind smile.
With that, he put the wrapped plastic bag in my hand. My heart warmed, but I didn’t show it.
“Ah.. Then I will be grateful.”
A body that speaks politely to the boss.
‘Thank you..’
And Kim Min-seo is surprised with her eyes wide open.
‘Yeah, I’m amazed too now.’
I received the soup bag with both hands, put it down on the seat next to me, and ate the soup.
After twists and turns, the meal was over, and we went out.
Kim Min-seo looks at me.
“Okay, I’ll go.”
“Well then, Hyeonu. Let’s break up here.”
“Yes, thank you.”
He passed by and quickly thanked me. In her hand was a bowl of soup filled with heavy warmth.
I’m going to solve this until tonight, and I’ll eat convenience store food tomorrow morning. If you buy tomorrow’s dinner with the money left over… OK. I will have to starve from the day after tomorrow.
In order not to do that, I took a few flyers for the daily part-time job on my way home.
There is a mobile phone, but it is currently suspended.
The steps toward home are heavy because of the rice soup, but also light thanks to the rice soup.

When I arrived home, I took the back of the leaflet I had ripped out earlier and a black ballpoint pen, and lay down on the floor.
“Now, you use your right arm.”
Yes
Writing scribbled on paper.
“Hey, what the hell did you do to be so mean? Let’s get to know the plan.”
If a good person does something bad, they get criticized a lot, and if a bad person does something good, they get a lot of compliments, right?
“Yes.”
That’s why I’m making such an image. Even if you have a bad start, if you show a good side later, the impact will be greater. In particular, Minseo Kim is a teacher with a strong sense of responsibility?
“Yeah, that’s right.”
This is what I know so far.
I am poor, and my parents are gone. So, I’m going with a concept like a hedgehog that has suffered a lot since I was young and has a lot of scars in my heart and sharpens its blade. You know what? You know characters who don’t trust anyone but only open up to one specific person.
“Oh…”
Doesn’t trust teachers at school, and doesn’t like to be friends with children. Then, she gradually opens her heart to Kim Min-seo, who keeps approaching her, and begins to trust and depend only on her and a few people closest to her.
“Why did you bother to add the option not to trust the school teacher?”
That side will make Kim Min-seo special. A man who distrusts all teachers but only trusts himself? I can’t stand this. Do you remember being polite to the old man at the soup restaurant earlier? I’m not fundamentally a bad guy, but I’m emphasizing that what I believe in is limited.
Meticulous guy. Did you calculate all of this and move? In that momentary unexpected situation, you thought of the setting and reacted?
So, the reason why you blushed when you asked to buy lunch earlier was not because you had the least amount of shame, but because you played a man who has strong self-esteem but cannot overcome his hunger and asks a distrustful person to buy him food? .
After listening to the commentary, I understand a little bit. However..
“..How many closest? Not just one?”
That’s right, I’m going to make all four of them mine. You know, this is polygamy, right? Anyway, I’ll show you how to get better that way.
“Oh, okay. I understand.”
If you show a gradual improvement like that, Kim Min-seo will think that her efforts have paid off.
In particular, Lim Seo-joon is taking a posture that does not seem to have much affection for Kim Min-seo.
In a situation like this, if I take her attitude of being dependent on her, she, who lacks affection from her, will come over to me.
..You said you planned the whole thing the day after I was possessed? That’s right, NTL master.
So, help me too. After all, are you good? ‘Cause I’m just your skill Let’s do it together, Body.
“After…”
Honestly, I’m worried.
Because some of the main characters showed not so good personalities.
“…Let’s wait and see. To be honest, there are some main characters that annoy me too.”
Okay, that’s enough for now.
“Wait, last question.”
What is it?
“Are you a man or a woman?”
I am your skill. No last name Likewise, I have no desire. When I do something, everything is done with thorough calculations. So, don’t be too angry and trust me. I wasn’t given to throw you in the gutter.
After that sentence, I regained control of my right arm, tore up the paper and threw it in the trash.
If anyone sees this kind of post… I will die socially.
After that, I looked at part-time job flyers.
Um… The place where only contact information is written.. Pass.
Karaoke Helper.. Pass.
Flyer distribution.. This is it.
Location and time are written. Let’s do this Tomorrow afternoon, after the academy.
On the weekend, let’s go out to load and unload. There is no construction site here, and at least loading and unloading is earning money with the body.
It’s always a part-time job with plenty of people, but it’s not a service job, so there are no customers.
There is a downside that my body is very hard, but I am the body of the golden sun.
Geumtaeyang always has a superior body than normal men.
I ate soup for dinner.
I didn’t heat it up to save on the electricity bill, but it was delicious even when cold.
Even though he was eating alone in a small corner of the room, he could feel his grandfather’s heart.
I’ll make money and go often, Grandpa.
Please stay healthy for a long time.
