Chapter 4 – Episode 4. Grill Food Restaurant
***
Eunseo and I went to a restaurant specializing in grilled food together.
It was a store located in the middle of a building-like building where many shopping malls were concentrated.
Eunseo was the guide.
My one-room studio isn’t near here, and Sindorim is the front yard of Eun-seo’s place, so she said it was okay, so I decided to come and see it.
Arriving inside the restaurant, we were seated.
“Shall we go over there? A window seat.”
“Huh.”
Walk together and settle down
I feel good for some reason.
What it means to go with a beauty.
Perhaps she likes these kinds of dates because she feels similar to the way I feel about going out with the handsome me because of that feeling.
The restaurant was a place where the inside space felt more spacious than it looked from the outside.
The interior is predominantly black.
The ceiling, chairs, and waist-high partitions separating the seats are all black.
And the floor or table is a light wood color.
Perhaps because of that color, the interior felt like an appropriate atmosphere for a date.
As for the food, Eunseo said she had never seen it before, so she told her to order it herself.
The food came out a little later.
It took a while because it was grilled food.
The food looked pretty appetizing, and I immediately picked it up with my chopsticks and started eating it.
“Mum mum…”
“How is it?”
Eunseo looked at me intently.
She’s a bit awkward with facial expressions, so when she asks how the food is, the look on her face looks a little concerned about something.
The way she looked was cute.
First of all, because it’s pretty.
There, she also dressed up a bit more.
Unlike when she was at her house, Eun-seo tied her hair in a ponytail with her cozy-looking white chrysanthemum-like hair tie, and her makeup seemed slightly darker than usual for her natural make-up. Do.
Even the hair that has grown up to the eyebrows is slightly straight at home, but when it comes out, it is also slightly slanted to one side.
More than anything… After all, when you look at her, what catches your eye is her breasts.
Eunseo is wearing a baggy shirt, so she doesn’t show it very well, but because I know her body well, I know that there are two huge peaks inside that baggy place.
I gave a thumbs up.
“Wow. I should have ordered two squid. Really delicious, this.”
It was only after I gave a positive evaluation that Eunseo’s expression changed.
She closed her lips proudly, put her head back, nodded once, then opened her mouth.
“Are you fine.”
“Mum mum… Um~.”
“I’m glad.”
As recommended by Eunseo, the spicy grilled squid and other menu items were quite delicious.
This menu is the main menu that Eunseo orders at this store.
The squid was a bit big, the size of a forearm, and it was made by grilling it, but the edge was slightly rolled down like drawing a circle, so it looked appetizing.
When I actually cut it and ate it, it tasted great.
Spicy special seasoning and herbs, and enough softness to cover the delicious scent and chewiness unique to squid stimulated the appetite.
It was a pilaf style, so the vegetable fried rice was also served, so the harmony was good.
We ate squid, salad, and steak together.
We also had casual conversations.
“So you’re going to be so busy from now on?”
“Um, Eunseo, I really want to stick around this time. I want to stop making the landlord full.”
Haha, from today, you’re going to study again, right?”
“Uh.”
“Should I also increase the amount of work now…”
Is there anything more to add…
Even if it’s not, I stuck my tongue out in my heart when I saw her saying that she wanted to increase her work even though she used to do 17-hour editing work.
“When I was a 9th grade civil servant, didn’t you just become a major editor and become a woman who earns my 5 years’ salary?”
“I’m sure I’ll do it~, whooping…”
Eunseo is still the calm type with a slightly calm expression.
Looking at it, she, like me, seemed to be in a good mood right now.
The faint smile never left Eunseo’s face.
It was in the middle of a meal while having such a conversation.
At one point, I felt Eunseo staring at me.
“I eat a lot, why are you only watching me eat?”
I said.
Then Eunseo looked at me with a face as if hearts were coming out of her eyes and said.
“Um…Because he’s handsome.”
Eunseo was trying to play a prank on me. As she said that, she tilted her head to her side, trying to see my side face as well.
Eun-seo’s bright face almost smiles, making my heart flutter.
Haha, ah, okay. You’re prettier.”
“It’s okay. Hey.”
“Hmm.”
“I really don’t want to take a picture with you.”
“Why?”
“I become a squid.”
“Hey, don’t talk nonsense. This is the squid.”
I picked up a piece of spicy squid from the plate in front of me with a fork.
As I was about to eat the squid, my playfulness kicked in.
So, looking at the squid on the fork, I started a conversation.
“Uh, Eunseo, why are you here?”
Eunseo burst into laughter at my action.
Haha! Ah…”
Then, Eunseo reached out and pinched my hand, which was not holding a fork.
“Die!”
“Ouch!”
The meal date was amicable.
Even if it’s the same place, the same food, the mood seems to be very different depending on who you’re with.
Eunseo told me a little later.
“I really hope you passed.”
Her eyes were still staring at me.
Success is what I want too.
It won’t be easy though.
“It should be.”
“I heard you have to go home if you fail the test. So you won’t be able to take it again?”
“Why?”
“Is the house you saw in Seoul?”
“Uh.”
There seemed to be a bit of a misunderstanding about that.
“I’ve lived in Seoul all along.”
Eunseo’s pupils widen slightly.
She’s not that strong at showing her emotions, but I felt like she smiled slightly at my answer.
“Huh. Really?”
Eunseo followed her words.
“Then you can see it from a distance? Where is it? The original house.”
“Yeoksam-dong.”
“Isn’t that Gangnam?”
“Uh.”
“Awesome. Hey… Was it a gold spoon? Your face looks like this too?”
“Hey, I absolutely do not use gold spoons. It’s all loans~. Whether it’s at home or at the store.”
Eunseo seemed to have forgotten that she had picked up the salad with her fork, so she opened her mouth slightly and made a slightly dazed face.
While I was talking, Eun-seo was a bit dazed, but I think it was because of a bit of misunderstanding.
If you live in Gangnam, you may think of it as a golden spoon, but my house is not like that.
That said, although I live in Gangnam, my father’s fried chicken restaurant is getting more and more difficult, and the landlord’s tyranny is getting worse every day, so the rent soars every time I renew the contract, and there is no need to say that the family is having a hard time.
Still, Eunseo’s longing eyes, as if looking at a golden spoon, felt a bit burdensome.
“…”
As Eunseo was doing that, I leaned over her upper body a little and waved her hand in front of her eyes as she was sitting across from her while she was eating.
“Hey?”
A little after I waved her hand in front of her, Eunseo shook her head from side to side as if to come to her senses.
And she said to me
“Will you ever marry me?”
It was a random shot.
That might be a bit embarrassing.
However, since it is often heard, there is some degree of immunity to it.
I put my hands together and said.
“No?”
Eunseo laughed at my words.
Haha!”
As if nothing had happened to Eunseo, she ate the salad again.
Then she looked at me and smiled a little and said her words.
“Actually, I don’t like it either. Haa~. If I had a husband like you, I’d be attracted to women like a swarm of flies, right? I’m not some kind of CESCO… If I marry you, I think I’m going to become a grandmother and die old.”
Even if it’s not the case, it’s true that a lot of women are seduced by my looks.
However, there is a misunderstanding about whether or not it is a gold spoon.
What… Even if I tell the story that I am not a gold spoon, there are many women who fall in love with my appearance and like me with real affection.
Eunseo also said, ‘Let’s get married, gold spoon!’ Even if I say that, it seems that I belong to the kind of people who want to be with me based on my appearance.
I ate my food and listened to her words in moderation.
“What. Hey. Surprisingly, few women talk to me.”
“Yeah. You think.”
“No…”
It was when I was about to speak again to Eunseo, who simply responded.
I felt popular.
And the person who pretended to be there stopped in front of our table.
Was an alba student
She brought one of her white plates.
The plate we brought was placed on our table.
It was a cheese stick.
I spoke to the Albanian.
“I don’t think you came to the table well? We didn’t order this.”
As I spoke to her, Alba took one of her hands and put it on her mouth, avoiding my gaze and answered.
“I… It’s a service…”
I was greeted with a wide smile.
Haha! Ah~, really? Thank you~!”
After saying goodbye to the part-timer, I spoke to Eunseo, who was sitting across from her.
“Hey. The service here is really good. Originally, if you order more than how much, what comes out?”
Eunseo tilts her head.
“No? I’ve been here a few times, but this is the first time?”
Even when Eunseo and I were having such a conversation, the part-timer didn’t go.
She stood at our side of the table, hesitated for a moment, then spoke to me.
“Um… Is the person coming with you a girlfriend?”
That statement was a bit embarrassing.
I wasn’t taken aback when Eunseo asked me to get married, but I couldn’t help but be a bit taken aback when a part-time girl at a restaurant asked me if the party was my girlfriend.
It’s usually because it’s not common for Alba to ask these things.
I was about to think about how to answer for a moment, but Eunseo answered her first.
“No, he’s my friend.”
The well-groomed part-timer seemed to hesitate for a while after hearing Eunseo’s words.
Then she pulled out her white note from somewhere.
She handed it to me
“Here…”
“What is this?”
I asked, but no answer came back.
After giving me a memo, the part-timer ran away from our table as if running away.
I glanced at the memo.
It was not thick, so I could see what was written on the back.
Turning over, it was a phone number.
It was written in meticulous handwriting along with a phone number.
[I really like him, so I worked up my courage! If you have a meal, please contact me! ^^]
It was the contents.
Ah…
This is a bit
At other times, I would have been hanging out in seclusion now, studying in the afternoon, then at night when the part-time job was over, I would have met and had a drink.
After that, I would have gone to the motel with my part-timer to eat rice cake.
But I’m not comfortable with the situation right now.
It’s to the point of sternly refusing even when Eun-seo asks her to go play more.
Okay.
Let’s recall
Building owner.
My account where the monthly rent was getting out of hand!
That anger!
And the urgency that there are only about 6 months left!
When you have this desperate energy, you must devote yourself to your studies.
“Joy!”
I put the notepad on the edge of the table, flicked it with my fingernail, and pushed it towards Eunseo.
“Why do you do this to me?”
“Whoops. I have to study.”
“Shit…”
Eunseo read the letter the part-timer wrote to me while looking at the notepad.
Then she turned her notepad back over and put it in front of her own and told me.
“I don’t think it’s been a while since you said that you rarely have women to talk to?”
“Oh, did I?”
Eunseo and I shared a meal happily.
My memories of Eunseo will carry on until later.
Fair skin, a slightly clumsy expression, slightly hot eyes staring at me openly, and even a large chest that is rarely completely covered even with a baggy shirt.
I like Eunseo.
And Eun-seo doesn’t try to restrain me.
Usually the women I meet are like that.
Generally, a man begs a woman and after a relationship of ‘going out’, they do something like skinship, but I’m different.
Women don’t draw the line for me.
It is neither a friend nor a lover.
I don’t care about their lines, and in most, if not all, cases, I spend my life fucking with them without too much difficulty.
It also seemed to be a little restrained now.
Once you meet a girl and have fun, your studies fly away.
When I wake up, I will be making chicken sauce under my father.
Of course, such a life is not bad, but first of all, I don’t want to leave regrets when I do something.
It’s not too late to go as far as you can, and if it doesn’t work, then move on to Plan B.
In that sense, I decided to do my best to study for about 5 months this time.
So, if I were the same as Eunseo, I would have been drinking and fucking until late at night…
Having made up my mind to study, I ate a meal and then said goodbye after a brief conversation while drinking juice on a bench in the plaza of Sindorim Station.
