At his words, something deep in her chest welled up emotionally, something warm and touching.
“If that’s the case, I should try harder, right?”
“How can you try harder here? I’m already incredibly happy.”
Although he was doing enough to be overflowing, he, who had already made her so happy, still said it wasn’t enough.
“Well, then I’m fortunate.”
Already a busy wife, I can’t see your face anymore. Playfully raising his eyebrows, he pointed to the dining table and asked, “But isn’t this boiling?”
“Oh, right.”
While chatting, the tteokbokki, momentarily forgotten, was bubbling away. Opening the lid, Eunjae felt that it needed a bit more simmering, so she reduced the heat.
“The original recipe is a bit spicy, so I took out some seasoning… I don’t know how the taste will be.”
“Why did you take it out?”
“You said you can’t eat spicy things, right?”
As Eunjae asked with a cooking spoon, Sunwoo furrowed his brow as if to say, “Who said that?”
“Who said that? I enjoy eating them.”
Come to think of it, a while ago, Sunwoo had flashed in her mind, eating deodeok gui and gulping down water.
Eunjae looked at Sunwoo with a suspicious glance.
“Really?”
“Yes, don’t leave anything out, put it all in.”
“Really?”
“Really, do it.”
Without waiting for Eunjae to answer, Sunwoo, looking at the seasoning separately placed on the Ireland countertop, poured the sauce into the pot.
“No, why would you…”
After standing still for a few seconds, Eunjae burst into laughter.
What a way to handle this. It seemed like there would be something to tease her about, and Eunjae’s lips trembled with a wry smile.
“What are you doing tomorrow?”
“I have to go to the academy tomorrow. The exams are just around the corner.”
“I’m taking the day off tomorrow. Want to go somewhere—”
“No, I can’t. I think it’s okay to eat now…”
While looking at the boiling pot, Eunjae reached out towards the pot when…
“Oh, hot…!”
Between the pot lid that had been covered for a little more simmering, the bright red sauce suddenly overflowed.
Sunwoo’s hand quickly reached over Eunjae’s hand that was about to touch it, and with the other hand, he quickly turned off the induction.
Startled, Sunwoo turned Eunjae’s hand around in various ways.
“Are you okay? Did you burn yourself?”
“No, I’m fine.”
Sunwoo continued to examine Eunjae’s hand without dismissing his doubts even after her words.
Eunjae insisted that, except for the slight touch due to the hot heat, everything was fine.
As if to confirm if it was really okay, Sunwoo kept asking, nodding his head only after making sure.
Looking at Eunjae, who was concerned about it, he finally let go of her hand.
When Eunjae, who had been wandering around, picked up a dishcloth, thinking of wiping the dining table, Sunwoo even took that away.
“Bring a plate to eat.”
Indicating not to worry about it, Sunwoo lifted Eunjae up, making her move away from the dining table.
He seemed to want to show that he could handle it well, but already there was a sense of regret on Eunjae’s face as it felt like she had caused an accident.
Eunjae went to get the plates, still smiling and looking back.
Being someone whose hands were her fortune, she worried unnecessarily that he might get hurt because of her.
“It’s hot, so be careful. Don’t touch it with your bare hands.”
“Who’s going to say that?”
It sounded like a rebuke from the person who had tried to open the lid with their bare hands just a moment ago, and it stung like a light tap on the back of the head.
When she brought the plates and forks, the spilled seasonings had all been neatly cleaned up.
As if asking what happened, Sunwoo raised his fist over the tidy table. Sunwoo looked at Eunjae, who seemed to have a disappointed expression, and smiled faintly.
“It’s hot; let’s eat quickly.”
Eunjae scooped tteokbokki onto the plates she had brought and placed it in front of Sunwoo, sitting down facing him.
“It should be delicious.”
“Even if my sister says so, I won’t lie.”
“Who said anything about lying?”
“I’m saying I’ll honestly evaluate it.”
“You did it to get evaluated, didn’t you?”
Like a judge or something. It was a moment when, since it was a rare day off, she wanted to make something delicious, and as she grumbled, the more she thought about it, the more a sense of resentment surged.
“I get it, I get it. Every time you retort like this, it’s cute.”
“Why are you really like this?”
At Sunwoo’s words, Eunjae’s face turned a shade of pink.
“Really. That’s why it’s a big deal already.”
“…”
“Whatever you do, it always looks beautiful.”
Although she was originally good at expressing herself politely, she still had no immunity to sudden expressions of affection.
“H-Here, have this with it.”
Eunjae pushed a peach salad she had made a while ago towards Sunwoo, stumbling over her words. Sunwoo, finding Eunjae cute once again, chuckled.
Sunwoo’s chopsticks, carefully examining the neatly plated salad on the plate, came to a halt in mid-air.
“Uh… I think I’ll be fine with just tteokbokki.”
