Chapter 1224 – I Ate Both the White and Black Horses.
Today was my third day in the United States. I was almost halfway through my trip, leaving for Korea in two days, but the only thing I did during the two days I came here was grocery shopping and shooting.
“Why do you come to a place like this? “You can eat it in Korea too.”
That’s why I couldn’t help but be disappointed when I came to Koreatown. Moreover, the restaurant we went into was not much different from our hometown pork soup restaurant. Not only the scenery but also the menu was only in Korean.
“Write! “There you are!”
The devil playfully scolded me as I grumbled in disappointment.
“Aren’t Koreans a people of rice and kimchi? You have to eat Korean food like this once every three days to remember that you are Korean!”
“You shouldn’t say that, you.”
I didn’t say this just now. These were the words spoken by Taeyeon, who was sitting diagonally from the Demon King. She asked, looking at the silver hair that sparkled like starlight, the blue eyes like the blue ocean, and the milky white skin.
“You don’t even know what you look like?”
“What, Taeyeon? Are you saying that Jim is not Korean just because of his appearance? Are you that kind of racist? Are you a racist?”
“Is that so?”
“Haha, that’s right.”
The Demon King smiled brightly at Taeyeon, who asked bluntly. But her narrowed eyes were sparkling with mischief as she laughed.
“… “I ate both white and black horses.”
“Hey, it!”
“Puhup?! Cough! Cough!”
The words Taeyeon just mumbled were so quiet that Yena, who was sitting next to her, couldn’t hear them. However, it was enough for us, who have more sensitive senses than the average person, to hear.
“Oh, kinda! Cough, cluck!”
While eating the spinach salad served as a basic side dish, I was shocked by what I heard. I glared at the Demon King, who coughed repeatedly and laughed like a mischievous person.
Haha! You. Are you okay? Why am I suddenly coughing? Come on, let me pat you on the back.”
“Cough! Do you give me rice, a bottle, and medicine? … ! Cough!”
Widely! Widely! Tak!
“Jiheon. Are you okay?”
Minah asked me how I was doing, beyond the demon king who was repeatedly tapping my back. She must have been a dark horse because of her chocolate-like skin. She poured water into a stainless steel cup and handed it to me.
“Drink some water.”
“Uh, uh. Thank you… ! Gulp gulp gulp”
“Why? Why are you doing this all of a sudden?”
Sehee, who was sitting across from the devil, asked without knowing what was going on. I didn’t bother to answer even after the coughing subsided. Yena was listening, and she didn’t want to tell.
“Oh. There was a legal loli in front.”
Because someone calls their little sister a legal loli.
“Oh my gosh. “You’ve waited a long time!”
Daldaldal
A few minutes later, the restaurant lady approached me with her familiar cart. She stopped next to our table and handed out bowls of rice and pots from her cart.
“Okay, pass it on. Please pass it on to the person next to you.”
“Haha, Jiheon. Doesn’t it remind you of your hometown?”
“Uh. I left 3 days ago and will return tomorrow. “It reminds me of my hometown.”
The lady handed us a stainless steel bowl of rice and an earthen pot filled with bone hangover soup. Every time she took it and carried it to her side, the spicy smell of Korean food irritated her nose.
“Well then, enjoy your meal. If you need anything else, please let me know.”
As the food each person ordered was placed in front of them, the lady walked away with the cart. We raised our spoons and said thank you to their faces.
“Whoop!”
“Keuuu! “It tastes like soju!”
“Would you like a real bottle of soju? Ah, but I have to drive.”
“Ah, I feel relieved now. Daughter. Stop looking at your phone and eat it. “Isn’t it delicious?”
“Whoop! Huh! It’s so delicious!”
“Sehee. “I will drive.”
At first, I was upset because I ate Korean food when I came to the United States. But every time I ate the hot soup with a spoon, my mind relaxed little by little.
“Haha! How are you?”
Of course, the devil’s bright smile was decisive.
“My stomach is so full from eating Yankee food! Doesn’t that solve it?”
“You shouldn’t say things like that. “A little.”
Haha. What is it like? Jim is Korean. Ha! Whoop! Ha, ok!”
Although the Demon King looked close to a white person, the sight of him sucking the meat off his bones was clearly Korean. I ate the soup while watching the devil eating it deliciously as if it were filmed somewhere.
“Aunt. Aunt. Look over there.”
“Why? Ah, they’re doing that again. It makes me lose my appetite, really.”
Sehee and Taeyeon, who were sitting slightly diagonally across from each other rather than in front, found us like this. They frowned as if they had seen something they couldn’t see, but like the two of them who were always anxious because they couldn’t eat, they immediately started bickering.
“Hey. But they do really well here. My stomach feels relieved. “I felt greasy because I kept eating fatty foods.”
“That’s because I’m old.”
“Hey. Do you want to search? “Did you not feel anything?”
“Sure. “Because, unlike my aunt, I am in my 20s.”
“I’m in my 20s too?”
“Are you my aunt? By any chance, aren’t you talking about ovarian age?”
“He has the physical ability of someone in his 20s. “Can you show me?”
“Ugh…”
Sehee did not answer right away. He gave his answer only after he glanced at Taeyeon, who was sitting next to him, with eyes as dark as the deep sea.
“Later, at night.”
“This is real!”
Tak!
“Huh?! Aunt!”
You thought I would.
As he continued to play around, he left Sehee behind for a moment after getting hit in the back of the head. I tilted my upper body back slightly and looked at Minah beyond the Demon King and asked.
“Minya. How is it? Is it delicious?”
“Yes, it is very delicious. “My impressions have nothing to do with the fact that I ate Western food for two days in a row.”
“Oh, yes. Okay. Enjoy it.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Even though he remained silent, he seemed to be concerned about what Sehee said. Taeyeon looked to the side, relieved to see that it was still delicious.
“…”
“It’s Yena.”
“…”
“Is it Yena?”
“… Huh? Yes?”
Only after Yena called again did she take her eyes off the smartphone screen. She remembered how she had been looking at her phone since she left in the morning, and she asked out of curiosity.
“It’s Yena. What are you looking at? “Why do you keep looking at me like that?”
“Uh oh, that’s right…”
Yena slurred her words and avoided eye contact, as if she had been pointed out not to look at her phone while she was eating. However, as she slowly raised the corners of her mouth, she hid the small phone in her hand from me.
“It’s a secret!”
“Oh, why? “Can’t you just tell me?”
“No! It’s a secret!”
“Little. Just a little. Or even a hint.”
“No, I do not want! Don’t tell me!”
“Don’t do that, Yena. Is it really not possible?”
“Taeyeon.”
At this time, the devil called Taeyeon, who was busy arguing with Sehee. Then she stimulated her motherly instinct to value Jena more than her own life.
“Even though Yena says she doesn’t like it, Jiheon is persistent.”
“Hey?! Why do you talk like that?!”
“This bastard is really trying to get hit… !”
“Uh oh! No! No! “I was just asking!”
She raised the spoon she had been using to eat and scoop up soup. I shook my head urgently when I saw Taeyeon, who looked like she was about to hit my head at any moment.
“Sure, Mr. Really.”
Luckily she didn’t actually hit him. She only pretended to hit him and then changed the subject as she started eating again.
“Hey. But, where are we going after eating this?”
“I heard the aquarium here is so good. “They say it’s the biggest in the world?”
“That’s where I went yesterday. You and my daughter. Also, with my brother-in-law.”
“Yes. That’s why I don’t go there.”
“Hey, bitch… !”
Unlike before, Taeyeon couldn’t rub the back of Sehee’s head carelessly. The way she just trembled with her raised arm seemed like she was being careful to control her strength incorrectly.
“Oh! It’s done!”
Eventually she gave up hitting and lowered her arms. Then, this time, she found someone she trusted and asked them the same question.
“Hey. It’s Min. Where are you going today?”
“I’m planning on heading to Georgia Institute of Technology.”
“Engineering school? Why do you go there?”
Sehee gave the answer for me. Although it was full of playfulness.
“I want you to become an engineering goddess.”
“I’m falling behind. Why are you going?”
“Because I’m an engineering goddess.”
“They said they would fall behind. Hey. “Why are you going?”
“… “Why?”
“No, that’s enough. Why are you going?”
Taeyeon was annoyed at first, but when she asked for the third time, she was looking forward to the answer. Mina looked at Taeyeon with a blunt gaze and answered the reason for leaving.
“Georgia Institute of Technology is a world-class, prestigious university.”
“Okay. Go.”
“There is still some explanation left.”
“What is left? They say it is one of the best in the world. Since it’s an engineering school, isn’t it somewhere like CAIS?”
Was Kait an engineering school? At the same time, I wanted to know why Taeyeon gave permission right away. I asked this while pouring a bowl of rice into an earthen pot.
“Are you okay? Even if I go there?”
“Something’s not okay. It’s a bonus for us anyway. I’m just going where you tell me to go. “I used my passport anyway.”
“Auntie, did you come to America to use your passport? “She didn’t use her passport to come to America?”
“It’s loud, dude. Eat something. And if you want to go somewhere, it won’t be a boring place. If it’s not fun, you can just get hit.”
“Haha! It would be nice if you could take care of my baggage! “You’re pregnant!”
“You, man. I’m going to hit you the hardest. “Do you think it’s easy to become a mother?”
Taeyeon, who said a word to me, Sehee, and the devil, turned her head and looked at Yena. Even while we were talking, Yenna was just looking at her phone and eating.
“Good luck, daughter.”
“Oh, yes. “I’ll eat.”
“No. “Give me the phone.”
“Ah, I’m going to eat.”
“Write it. Jeong Yena.”
“Hey, okay…”
As expected, the road to becoming a mother seemed difficult. She just called my name, and she obediently handed me the phone that I hadn’t let go of.
“I will return this after I finish eating. Got it?”
“Chii…”
“Huh? “Didn’t America decide to listen to mom?”
“No, okay…”
“I can’t do it. Eat. “I’m not going to give you my phone until I get in the car and get out.”
“…”
Even though the confiscation period was extended, Jena did not say anything. No, she didn’t. If I complained anymore, my phone would have been confiscated for the rest of the day.
“Hmm. Jiheon.”
The expectant mother, who saw this scene before her eyes, whispered to me.
“Jim, I don’t want to be such a strict mother.”
Like Yena, I didn’t say anything special. She just thought to herself that Taeyeon didn’t originally want to be a strict mother.
