Chapter 1207 – Jelly Sandwich
The first hot night in America passed and a bright morning arrived. Although I overslept because I had spent too much time in the hot weather, along with adjusting to jet lag, I was able to leave at the scheduled time by sacrificing breakfast.
“Ugh! This is a shame! If only I had time, I could have made Jim’s specialty, jelly sandwiches! This is so unfortunate!”
The demon king sitting next to me in the backseat of the van shook his head arrogantly. Jena sat down with the demon king and asked about the food she had never heard of in her life.
“Sohee unni. “What is a jelly sandwich?”
“Hmm? Yes. “Are you sure you’ve never eaten a jelly sandwich?”
“Yes. Does it contain jelly?”
“Hmm. What is a jelly sandwich? It’s hard to explain… !”
Even though I wasn’t asked what jazz was, I didn’t hesitate to answer. The Demon King, who was alone with his arms crossed, tilted his head and pondered what explanation to give.
“Hey. Hey.”
At this time, Taeyeon, who was sitting next to me, with me on her knees, called to me in a whisper. She asked me what was going on, making eye contact with me and without making a sound, with the shape of her lips.
What is a jelly sandwich?
Uh. There is such a thing.
So what is that? Baby.
You also tried it last time.
Do you think you made me a meal or two?
“… Ha.”
When I saw Taeyeon asking this question in astonishment, I couldn’t hold back her laughter. As she pointed out, I hadn’t cooked food for the girls once or twice, and it occurred to me that I had accumulated a lot of memories.
Tak!
“Eup?!”
“What do you split…”
Because I didn’t explain this and just laughed to myself, I ended up getting kicked in the shin.
“Use… !”
“Oh, talking about sandwiches makes me hungry.”
Sehee, who was sitting in the passenger seat, paid no attention to her husband, who was groaning in excruciating pain. I just glanced to make sure I wasn’t dead, then turned around and asked.
“Why don’t we buy a sandwich on the way? With coffee?”
“Ugh! Coffee and sandwiches for breakfast! It’s truly the American dream!”
“Are your dreams very simple?”
“Uh! Uh! Then! Then jelly sandwich! Jelly! “I want to eat that!”
“…”
Minah didn’t say that she knew even if everyone said it was good. I read the glances she gave through her rearview mirror and joined the opinions of the rest of her group.
“Uh, uh. Let’s go and eat a sandwich. There are things I need to work on.”
“Yes, I understand.”
“Haha, you. There is also Yena…”
The moment Minah said she knew, the devil touched me with her elbow. At the same time, there was a subtle strangeness in her eyes.
“Oh, kinda.”
Haha, I’m looking forward to it.”
“It’s not like that.”
Even if it wasn’t me, it was already decided within the Demon King. Although he was disgusted by his undying sexual desire after becoming pregnant, Taeyeon, who was sitting across from him, nodded slightly, saying that she secretly knew.
Tak!
“I want to go back… !”
Of course, Taeyeon was not unaware of what was happening right under her nose.
“Jiheon. “I will stop the car on the shoulder.”
“Well, wouldn’t it be better to order six BLT sandwiches? Let’s go to coffee. Oh, my sister, I’ll have cola.”
Anyway, Minah stopped her car in front of a sandwich shop that she happened to see. Sehee handed me a card containing the travel expenses, and I, who was sitting next to the backseat door, decided to go and buy it as a representative.
“Oh, well. Jiheon. “I’ll take my luggage too.”
“Uh? Okay. Watch your step. “Hold my hand.”
“Hey, I’m pitiful too.”
Mawang and Taeyeon also got out of the car with me, saying they wanted to go together. There was no reason to go alone, and I was anxious about being alone in a foreign country, so I was happy to have company.
“Mom! Jelly sandwich!”
“Yes, daughter. Just wait a moment. Okay? Take care of your hands. Now, watch your hands.”
Grumble, thump!
Taeyeon, who had promised to bring her daughter her jelly sandwich, closed her slide door. Then she turned to the devil and asked the same question she had asked me earlier.
“Hey. But what is a jelly sandwich?”
“That’s literally it. “It’s a sandwich with jelly sandwiched between bread.”
“Jelly? Why do you eat it like that?”
“Americans are basically the same people who eat fried Coke. “My head hurts when I understand it.”
“You eat fried cola? “They are absolutely crazy.”
As soon as we got away from my daughter’s car, she followed us, muttering curses. Seeing Taeyeon, the Demon King came next to me and gave a small wink.
You. You know it well, right?
Huh. I know.
Haha, it’s you too.
They agreed not to reveal the identity of the jelly sandwich to Taeyeon and went into the store together. Inside the store, as in America, white and black customers were sitting, and a white woman greeted us weakly at the checkout counter.
“Hello~”
“Ah, hi.”
“Fuha, Taeyeon. “Did you just look at Jiheon’s pronunciation?”
“Hey. Are you showing off that you’re from Korea?”
I could understand that the devil was teasing me. Just like his silver hair and blue eyes, his English pronunciation was good. However, I couldn’t stand Taeyeon teasing me while she was practicing English with a conversation book when she came here.
“Come on, Taeyeon.”
“Uh, hey?”
Taeyeon went back and pushed the counter. She looked over her shoulder in confusion and told me what to order.
“6 BLT sandwiches, 1 jelly sandwich, 5 coffees, 1 cola. Order like this.”
“Let’s write it~.”
“Oh, fuck. “What is it?”
The person who answered my order was not Taeyeon. She was so shocked that she just shuddered and swore, and the black female employee behind the counter answered in slightly broken Korean.
“Six BLT sandwiches, One Jelly sandwich. Five coffee. And one coke. Is it right?” (6 BLT sandwiches, 1 jelly sandwich, 5 cups of coffee, 1 cola. Is this right?)
“…”
“…”
He then asked her to confirm again in English, leaving her speechless. On behalf of us who were dumbfounded, the devil asked a question to a cheerful-looking black female employee.
“You speak Korean well. Are you Korean?”
Haha, that can’t be possible. I learned it at university
.”
“I just learned it in college.”
“I know, right? U, University?”
“How are you? Are you good at it?”
The black female employee was able to freely switch between English and Korean. Taeyeon still looked at her with her eyes blinking and apologized for what she said earlier.
“Sorry. “Because I swore earlier.”
“No. If you’re surprised, you can do it later. Is it okay?”
“Still, I’m sorry.”
“Really, is it okay? Haha.”
She kept smiling until I paid. The Demon King saw the female employee going to make the ordered sandwich and gave her a thumbs up.
“Ugh! Of course, Korean Wave! Of course K! “You can taste all the soup in a place like this!”
“I was so embarrassed that I felt embarrassed? And, hey. Do you really want to rummage?”
“Ah, why?”
Mawang and Taeyeon stood next to her, avoiding her sharp elbows. Taeyeon bit down on me and glared at me, and this time she swung her fist.
“Fuck, at least you should order! “Do you know how embarrassed I was?”
Tuk! Pak!
“No! Evil! Well, that’s because you keep making fun of my pronunciation!”
“That… Is that so?”
“Right?”
“Uh. Yes, you bitch.”
Tak!
“Then why are you hitting me?!”
Fortunately, Taeyeon’s punching lasted only this one time. It seemed like she knew what she did was wrong.
“Um, excuse me.”
At this time, the demon king went to a nearby table and sat down with her heavy, pregnant body. Taeyeon and I sat in the same seat as her and waited for the sandwich she ordered to come out.
“But, hey.”
Taeyeon, who was sitting alone across from her, called to us in a cautious voice. She looked in the direction of the black girl who spoke Korean well and asked curiously.
“I guess the Korean Wave is popular. “This is my first time seeing a black person speak Korean.”
“You. Don’t discriminate based on what you look like. “I’m just hurt.”
“… Uh, sorry.”
Haha, nope.”
The devil with white silver hair and blue eyes smiled at Taeyeon, who was apologizing. She waved her hand to tell me not to worry about it as a joke, then went back to the original topic and started talking.
“You. Don’t ignore Korea. It is the country that makes the world’s most famous smartphones and cars, and is home to Son Heung’s two legs. “Never ignore Korea again.”
“I’m Korean? Are you a bastard?”
“Hmm? Are you Korean? Jim is also Korean! By any chance, you too?”
“Uh! I’m Korean too! “It’s so nice to see people from other countries!”
“Didn’t you guys come on the plane with me?! In Korea?!”
I couldn’t help but be surprised by the fact that everyone sitting at this table was Korean. In particular, the Demon King was astonished as he made his arms look like ㄴㅇㄱ.
“Early?”
“Oh, yes.”
The black girl from earlier came up to us laughing. She handed me a heavy brown paper bag as I quickly got up and spoke fluent Korean.
“Sandwiches, everything is ready. Drink it!”
“Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.”
“No. “I’ll bring you coffee!”
The black female employee turned around and headed to the checkout counter. Taeyeon got up as if it were this time, opened the brown paper bag she had just received, and rummaged through it.
“Uh, what are you doing?”
“Wait a minute, asshole. Jelly, let me just look at that.”
“Are you that curious about that?”
“Then you guys aren’t telling me, so aren’t you curious? What. Is this it? “This is just a little different.”
Taeyeon took out another sandwich wrapped in her paper packaging and one particularly thin one. She opened the wrapping paper slightly so as not to tear the tape that held it in place, looked inside for a moment, and then looked at us with a puzzled look.
“Hey. There was only strawberry jam in it. “Isn’t this a scam?”
“What? “The only thing you heard was strawberry jam?”
“Uh? That can’t be possible? “Wait a minute, ask me one question.”
“Ah, Mr. What? “Over here.”
She ordered a jelly sandwich, but the only thing it had was strawberry jam. Taeyeon was dissatisfied with this fact, so she approached the black girl holding the coffee and scolded her.
“Looking here, all I heard was strawberry jam. Is it really like this?”
“Yes? Yes Jelly sandwich, you made a scandal. “Do you even scandalize peanut butter?”
“Originally, it only contained strawberry jam?”
“Yes! Only strawberries and jam are included! Jelly sandwich!”
“Ah, ah, really?”
Taeyeon, who found out the identity of the jelly sandwich, looked back at us with a red face. The Demon King and I argued with Taeyeon, who had been fooled, why she did that.
“You. Didn’t you know what a jelly sandwich was? “You used to eat it often, right?”
“I used to do this often. Did you happen to eat it without knowing its name? Really?”
“You crazy bastards!”
“What! Taeyeon! Jim is pregnant! She’s pregnant! If you want to hit me, hit Jiheon!”
“I hit everything, even Sohee’s part! Evil! No, no, I’ll just take my share!”
It hurt more than I thought, so I took the bag with something to drink and ran away from Taeyeon. Still, she expected Yena to have the same expression as her mother.
