Chapter 28 – Part 1
It was scary to wake up and came out of admiration.
‘Wow-‘
How can there not be a single place that doesn’t hurt like this?
After all, it’s not called the highest dignity in the Korean health world for nothing.
I just really screwed myself up.
I don’t know if I’ll be able to exercise properly today with my physical condition like this.
After a while, I realized that I had been laughing inwardly as I blinked my eyes. That the order of troubles is wrong.
Now was not the time to worry about sports.
Will you be able to get out of bed on your own?
Yes, you are right to be concerned about that.
I just wanted to stay like this for the rest of my life. Because my body ached like crazy.
Even so, the reason I forcibly raised myself up with my hands on the bed was because I had work to do.
‘Yesterday’s broadcast ended too late, so I filtered it…’
If I couldn’t cook dinner, shouldn’t I have to cook breakfast?
So I dragged my trembling legs and went downstairs.
Frankly, it wasn’t easy. My legs were shaking so much that I had to walk with my hands on the wall.
‘It’s really filthy weak.’
My original body, which lived in front of the computer all day, wasn’t even like this.
Looking down at her body, which was creating a dangerous scene that looked like it would collapse in the future, and smiled wryly, for a while, she dragged her feet and headed for the refrigerator.
And then he started digging through it.
‘Let’s see…’
What would you like
I had no intention of dressing up as grandiose as it was in the morning.
That would just make it more embarrassing.
Still, it would be nice to have soup.
What to boil
As I was thinking about it, what caught my eye was the Japanese-style soybean paste that was secretly hiding in the top shelf of the refrigerator.
‘Is it red soybean paste?’
When I checked, it was white soybean paste.
It’s white soybean paste.
As I was flipping through what was contained in a jar-shaped container, there was a recipe that just popped into my head. I used it often when I want to eat hot soup, but it’s annoying to boil it in earnest.
A magical recipe that only takes 5 minutes, no more and no less.
The ingredients were simple as well as the short cooking time.
You can add as many as you like, but my favorite basic version only has three.
Soybean paste is already in my hand, so pass it.
Onions.. Well, of course there will be.
The problem is the bacon…
‘Do you want to stay?’
Searching from the fresh box, which was the most likely, I was able to find bacon, which was cleverly hiding among the vegetables, when my hands got so cold that I was about to search.
This way, you have all the ingredients you need to make soup.
Still, I was going through this hardship, but I was a bit disappointed that I had to boil only one soup and finish it, so I decided to grill the mackerel that caught my eye.
White rice topped with steam, miso soup, and grilled mackerel.
Isn’t it a combination that makes you salivate just by imagining it?
‘Oh, write..’
She gulped down what spilled out of her mouth and headed straight to the kitchen counter.
Mackerel was a living thing, and it didn’t need to be thawed, as it was supposed to be on the table today or tomorrow.
And I decided to leave it to the air fryer to bake it.
First, the paper foil was laid out, and the mackerel was spread wide on top of it. The air fryer itself has a large capacity, so it can fit up to two at a time.
At first glance, it looked like mackerel, so I didn’t add salt.
After turning the air fryer back on, I went back to the sink and started peeling the onion after adding water.
‘It’s filthy slippery.’
Apparently, this body wasn’t just weak, it seemed that even the tear glands were weak.
I didn’t even cut the onion, I only peeled it, but seeing that my eyes were already stinging like this.
‘Write…”
I almost brought my hand to my eyes reflexively at the tingling sensation, but I endured it with superhuman patience.
I put it on a cutting board and cut it into bite-sized pieces. I also sliced bacon together.
Then, just in time, he poured soybean paste into a pot that began to boil.
Just didn’t solve it.
It should be convenient if you just unwrap it, but it’s obvious that it will taste bitter later.
So I took an appropriate amount of soybean paste in a sieve the size of my palm and gently loosened it with a spoon.
The process was repeated until what was removed turned into crumbs, and all that remained in the sieve were fragments of beans sacrificed for making soybean paste.
After roughly throwing it into the sink, he pushed the pre-sliced things into the simmering thing, showing off a brilliant appearance that was hard to believe was miso soup.
Everything that goes in is in the situation.
Now, just 3 more minutes, no less, no more.
If you boil it until the onion that you just added turns transparent, you will have a miso soup that perfectly harmonizes the unique sweetness of white miso, the sweetness of onions, and the rich flavor and saltiness of bacon.
A situation where there is much more time left than I thought.
So, as I was thinking about doing something more, the sound of someone pressing the door lock began to reverberate through the living room.
Eventually, it was none other than Gina who entered the room with a cheerful sound.
Have you been jogging since dawn?
Gina’s face was damp with sweat, wearing a somewhat cold-looking outfit, a windbreaker that seemed to be very light and tight leggings.
“Huh? What is it, Yuhan was you?”
“Did you go to the gym?”
“Yeah, I ran lightly along the neighborhood trail.”
It’s a little hard to say this, but I couldn’t understand Gina’s smile as if she was feeling refreshed while saying that.
She worked out, but she felt refreshed.
Isn’t it normal to be hard?
It was a world I couldn’t understand at all.
Gina, who may or may not know what I’m thinking, lightly took off her shoes and cast her gaze toward the pot that was sitting behind her. It was a bonus that she wrinkled her nose a little.
“What, were you eating?”
“Yeah, yesterday’s broadcast ended too late, so I couldn’t bring you dinner. That’s why…”
“Really… You don’t have to care that much…”
Jina, who smiled bitterly as if you couldn’t help it, soon strode toward me.
“Miso soup?”
“Yeah, there was some Japanese-style miso in the refrigerator, so I boiled some with it.”
“Really? Well, but the contents…”
Maybe he wanted to say why bacon is in the alternative miso soup?
Gina’s eyes, as if she were looking at a pizza with pineapple on top, were very annoying.
Pineapple pizza is literally a freak, but this one is different.
Anyone who hasn’t eaten it doesn’t know.
That this combination is literally a cheat key.
“Why? You don’t think it tastes good?”
“Oh, no… Oh, by the way, how are you feeling? Are you okay? Are you not sick?”
“Um… Do you feel like you’ve been homeless outside for three days?”
“Huh?”
“I think I’m going to die.”
“Ah.”
A bitter smile spread over Gina’s face for a while after she had an expression that seemed to have realized something.
It must be said that she said that she knew it.
“So, today’s exercise…”
“I’m going to take it easy today. Yesterday, I literally pushed myself a little to see how far you could go.”
I was about to tell her if it would be okay to take a break, but before she could get the words out of her mouth, she walked past and hit the ball.
“That, yes…”
“Ah, by the way, what happened to Sena’s broadcasting yesterday? Did nothing happen?”
“Yeah, it ended well because Sena-noona took care of it.”
“Of course it should. Did you have fun?”
At those words, she nodded slightly, so Gina grinned and stroked my hair lightly.
“I’m glad it was fun though. Did you tell Sena that it was fun too?”
“Yeah, I said it right after the broadcast yesterday.”
“Really? Sena must have really liked it.”
That’s what I said right away, but if I said that I would do Internet broadcasting in earnest, there was a high possibility that my attitude would change completely, as if it had never happened.
Just this far, that is to say, appearing at least once for fun would be the maximum that can be understood.
However, if it goes beyond the level of being just once or twice and becomes a type of broadcasting periodically like Senna, Gina will surely shout the opposite as if she doesn’t know what Gayoung’s request is.
That’s why it was necessary to secure at least one more person on my side before taking action in earnest.
If Sena, Edda, and even her Ga-yeong agree to my will, she won’t be able to insist on her own opinion no matter how far she goes.
“By the way, isn’t it almost done? I need to wake up Mom and Sena soon.”
“I can wake up, so sister take a shower first.”
Even for that, she said it because she needed to have more opportunities to talk with Gayoung or Sena without Gina being present, but it sounded a little different to Gina, who had just returned from working out.
It was hard to believe that it was for winter. Wrapped in her thin clothes, Jina’s body shuddered and trembled, and her blush, albeit small, began to appear on her cheeks.
Embarrassment, and shame.
Gina, who had dyed her face with those things, stepped back slightly behind her and widened her distance.
“Mi-sorry, the smell of sweat is so bad…”
To be honest, it smelled like sweat.
She’s sweating, and you can’t smell it.
But she wasn’t as bad as Gina had said, and she was definitely a good or bad ho.
To the extent that she wondered if I had this kind of taste, she was worse when she was even slightly drenched in sweat than Gina in her usual state.
“No? I’m not getting any?”
Saying that, she pushed her face against the nape of her neck, just to let her know.
I pretended to smell her body as if to show off while I flinched at her body in embarrassment.
No, I didn’t just pretend, I actually did it.
Gina’s body, which had just returned from running hard outside, was filled with the dry smell of winter.
The smell of sweat mixed with the smell of burnt leaves was quite addictive.
To the extent that she would like to stay like this all day, if Gina would allow it.
Of course, Gina obviously had no intention of allowing that.
To be honest, she couldn’t stand it.
Look at it now
Well, it hasn’t been like this for a long time, and I wonder if it’s been a minute or so, but the nape of Gina’s neck is already occupied by a bright red energy, as if it’s going to explode at any moment.
Could it be that he couldn’t stand something coming up from there?
Pushing my body slightly back, she hurriedly retreated behind her, covering the spot where my breath had been scattering just moments ago with her hand. Then-
“Bah, I need to eat..! Mr., I’ll wash up and come back!”
It just ran away.
She said she had been around the neighborhood for a few laps, but it was so fast that she couldn’t even scratch her steadfast stamina.
I watched Jina’s back with interest as she overcame what took a long time to come down in a blink of an eye and went straight into the bathroom on the second floor.
Then he stood in front of him and carefully knocked on the door.
Smart-
Hearing the sound resound in the quiet living room, he opened his mouth against the door.
“Aunt? Are you sleeping?”
Of course, he must be sleeping.
If she was awake, she would have answered the first knock on the door.
Having secured a justification for entering Ga-young’s room with such diligence, I pushed open the closed door and entered her room as it was.
What greeted me was the strong smell of alcohol.
‘Did you have dinner with the hair salon staff yesterday?’
I don’t know, but I must have drank a lot.
When I see him sleeping in the same outfit he wore to work yesterday.
‘You look very uncomfortable…’
Well, it wouldn’t be comfortable.
How could it be comfortable to sleep while wearing a dress that clings to the body?
Well, to be honest, it was much bigger than I thought.
Seeing Ga-young sleeping so drunk that she fell asleep without even changing her clothes, it felt like she was spying on a secret side of herself that should never be peeked at.
She may have been because Ga-young had tossed her body around while she was sleeping there, but it was more so because her light blue dress was rolled up to the point where her butt was slightly exposed, wrapped in her panties.
‘Fuck…’
It’s like a dog, really.
Do you overrun it?
