The awkward expression warmed her heart.
At first, he seemed quite intimidating, but seeing him like this made her wonder if she had misunderstood.
“Phew, now that I’ve eaten, I’ll gain some weight.”
Hayan, patting her stomach, and Minje, who alternated between looking at her and the empty bowl in front of him, felt a strange sense of accomplishment.
“Now, for the last bite, you have to drink this.”
She poured a can of cola from the well-stocked refrigerator and handed it to Minje.
He usually didn’t even drink cola. But now, when he came to his senses, he found himself accepting and drinking the cola, his face slightly wrinkled.
“What on earth did you do to me?”
He asked genuinely puzzled.
“It wasn’t something so extraordinary that you would ask what I did. If the ingredients are available next time, I’ll make it for you again.”

Looking at Hayan interpreting and responding according to her own interpretation, Minje’s eyebrow twitched.
The next morning, Hayan, who heard the alarm and woke up, blinked her eyes dazedly.
Looking at the unfamiliar ceiling, Hayan gasped and quickly sat up.
“Oh my, get a grip on yourself. I have to send Jihu to school!”
She went to Jihu’s room hastily, rubbing her eyes and splashing water on her face. But the child was not there.
This time, thumping down the stairs, Hayan rushed to the lower floor. When she arrived, Jihu and Miran, who were having breakfast in the kitchen, looked at Hayan with wide eyes, asking what had happened.
“Hahaha, Jihu really wakes up early.”
Hayan awkwardly smiled and sat next to Jihu, who was eating. The child responded.
“Nuna wakes up late.”
Startled by the relentless fact bomb from the morning, Hayan vowed to wake up earlier than Jihu tomorrow without fail.
“Want some rice?”

Smiling, Miran asked, and Hayan shook her head. Her face seemed swollen, probably due to eating too much last night, and she didn’t feel comfortable.
“Really? Is it your style not to eat breakfast?”
“Not exactly. I’m not feeling well today.”
Listening quietly to Hayan’s words, Miran’s eyes gently narrowed.
“Hmm, it’s peculiar. Director Gwangjangwon won’t eat breakfast today either? He’s always someone who takes care of his breakfast.”
What kind of imagination is she having? I don’t know what it is, but it’s not like that! Hayan couldn’t respond that way and just made a groaning sound.
Coincidentally, Jihu finished his breakfast by putting down the spoon.
Seeing the time, Hayan, realizing it was time for the kindergarten vehicle to arrive, quickly stood up.
“Jihu, if we go out now, we can catch the car.”
Except when Minje takes her to work or when the bus driver occasionally takes her, Jihu, a very diligent and mature child, almost always takes the kindergarten bus for drop-off and pick-up.

But why is the child not following but keeps looking at Hayan’s face?
“Why? Did something get on my face or something?”
Flustered, Hayan rubbed her face even more.
“Nuna, I don’t think we can go out together today.”
Ugh, the child sighed shortly.
“Why? What happened to my face? Why are you sighing like that?”
“I was going to brag to my friends today, but I don’t think I can.”
The child mumbled the end of the sentence as if hiding something he really wanted to say. Gasp, shocked, Hayan’s face blurred.
So, Jihu, your words mean that I am embarrassing, right?
“I’ll go out with mom today. See you later, Nuna.”

While Hayan was groaning in shock, Jihu shook hands casually and went out with Miran.
“Why? What’s wrong with my face? Am I that embarrassing?”
Hayan snorted, exhaling with her nose as she stood in front of the mirror. But…
Who are you?
In the mirror, there was a woman whose face was only half the size of her original eyes, swollen. It was a ramen attack. It was natural for her face to swell since she ate a huge amount of ramen and slept that night.
“Even so, this much…”
Rejected.
Hayan, looking dejected, walked to the living room, and just then, clunk, the sound of the door opening was heard, and Minje came out.
And the moment she saw his face, Hayan, without realizing it, burst into a soft laugh.
He was also puffy-faced.
