The mountain skillfully adjusted the heat and completed the eggs, bacon, and grilled vegetables without losing their shape.
Kang couldn’t help but admire the shape, which was too good to be done carelessly.
“How do you cook so well?”
“Does this even count as cooking?”
“Still. It’s really amazing.”
“If you even boil ramen, it would cause a commotion.”
When he explained that there were many Mongmas who were sincere in human food and were in the gourmet or food industry, her eyes grew even larger.
It was like the reaction of a child listening to an interesting folktale.
The two sat side by side and started their meal.
“Don’t you have to eat, you’re eating just because of me, right?”
Upon hearing the question from Kang, San smiled faintly.
But he willingly gave her the answer she wanted.
“It’s okay. I have been living among humans for some time, so I’m used to it.”
At the returned reaction, Kang laughed, holding a fork and resting her chin on the back of her hand.
“Wow, Han San.”
“….”
“You’re totally a human.”
Indeed, judging only by appearance, the Mongmas were not much different from ordinary humans.
Of course, San’s appearance was not ordinary, but the same was true for the Mongmas he had seen so far.
There was no sense of incongruity in their appearance and attire.
They lived among humans, held jobs, participated in social life, and among them, there were those who enjoyed alcohol and food, so distinguishing them by sight was a difficult task.
She was laughing, but the anxiety that was springing up in a corner of her heart was not something she could ignore at all.
It was because there was no law that Mongmas would not be mixed among the people she knew and is still in contact with.
All she could do was hope that such a thing would not happen.
((())) ((())) ((()))
After finishing their meal, the two got into the car to head straight to the nursery.
Having heard many stories from San, things that had not caught her eye began to come into view.
It was natural that she became more curious.
Sitting in the passenger seat and looking around inside, Kang opened her mouth.
“Director Han.”
It was a title she used only when they were alone and joking.
When he turned his head and looked at her, she asked again, shining her eyes.
“By the way, how wealthy are you?”
“What?”
“Just looking at it, both the car and the clothes you usually wear, everything seems to be only good stuff.”
“It’s not good stuff. It’s just that my hanger has a good body.”
San spoke blatantly without blinking an eye.
But she couldn’t refute. Because it was true.
What’s more, was it just a good body? The beauty in his ears, elegance, and face was beautiful enough to make one jealous regardless of gender.
That’s why she thought it would have been harder to make money in a more ordinary way.
“Did you earn all this while working as a bodyguard?”
“Humans don’t usually skimp on investing in value.”
The price of San, who had been existing quietly among the wealthy, was worth the call.
His physical condition and senses, which were significantly superior to those of a human, were skills optimized for security work, and it was natural that the things that couldn’t be bought with money were more precious to those who believed that everything could be solved with money.
Perfect abilities and rarity.
Using these appropriately, San was able to obtain wealth and nightmares without having to expose himself to the world.
This was because those who requested security, which was generally expensive, often lived with a corresponding anxiety.
Under the pretext of protecting the client, it was no different than now to fill the stomach.
Of course, back then, he ate to survive, so the quality of the nightmare he is eating now was different.
“Have you ever thought about becoming a celebrity?”
“I haven’t.”
“Why?”
“Because being a bodyguard was the best job to stay by your side.”
Of course, that wasn’t all.
There was also a reason why San had to hide as if he didn’t exist until a certain ‘time’ came.
This was because there were too many things threatening his life, which was suddenly left alone in the world for a while.
At some point, San turned to look at Kang who had suddenly stopped talking.
She was quietly staring out the window.
“What are you thinking?”
When he asked, Kang opened her mouth after a while.
“Just.”
“…….”
“Thinking about what it would have been like if we had met a little earlier.”
At that, San chuckled a little.
“We did meet early.”
“Huh?”
Surprised, she turned her head right away.
“What does that mean?”
“There is, such a thing.”
“What is it! Why do you know it? Tell me quickly.”
“We’re almost there.”
Even though she hurried, only a nonchalant answer came back.
San’s car was passing a sign written Haeseong Orphanage.
.
.
.
When they arrived at the orphanage.
Samyeong, who lived nearby and arrived first, was helping the teachers at the orphanage with cleaning.
“Huh? Kang! San! Are you here?”
He was the first to spot them and waved his hand, holding a broom.
As Kang took off her sunglasses and approached, she greeted the teachers around lightly and asked Samyeong.
“Where is the director?”
“Oh, today is the day she goes to the hospital, so she will be here soon.”
“Is there something wrong again?”
“Well, because of her age.”
At that moment.
A familiar face approached.
“Kang.”
“Ah, aunt.”
It was Kwon Sukhee, who had been in charge of meals and became a childcare teacher.
Since she had been in charge of meals until Kang left due to the end of protection, the nickname ‘aunt’ was more familiar.
“It’s been a long time. Have you been well?”
“Yes. Thanks to you. Are you healthy, aunt?”
“I am, what. Always good.”
“I’m glad.”
“Yes. Then, since the director is almost here, would you like to sit and wait?”
“I will.”
Suk Hee, who had given a light eye greeting to San next to her, served three cups of chrysanthemum tea and then distanced herself.
Seeing her retreat without much conversation, he, who was beside her, asked.
“Didn’t you say you’ve known her longer than the director?”
“She’s always been a bit blunt. She doesn’t talk much either.”
At Kang’s words, San watched Suk Hee’s retreating figure for a while.
Even when she was setting down the tea cup earlier, she seemed to be someone with physical discomfort.
Her gait was not very natural either.
Director Gam Young Hee of the second generation and childcare teacher Kwon Suk Hee.
And even Choi Gap Hoon, who was known to have already died in a fire accident, all three.
Surely, among the three, there was the mastermind who had engraved the door of dreams on Kang’s body.
His eyes, holding the tea cup, became sharper.
