Samyeong grilled the meat more earnestly, like a mother bird feeding her baby, and in the middle of the busy grilling, she put two pieces of meat in her mouth with the tongs.
“Huhut, huhu hot……!”
With a tear in his eye, because the roof of his mouth was completely peeled off, he grilled the meat.
Then, she also forcefully pushed wild greens and wraps into San’s mouth, who hadn’t even touched the vegetables.
“I can eat by myself.”
“Hey. Can’t you open your mouth?”
“……”
“We don’t tolerate picky eaters in our house.”
He had no choice but to accept the heavily packed wrap that was uncomfortably pressed onto him.
What did this taste like?
The peculiar smell of dried vegetables and the bitterness made him chew slower.
He had lived on human food as a staple due to necessity, but he had never eaten anything like this before, and he never had the opportunity to.
He looked at Kang, who was sitting next to him, with the wrap he gave up chewing on in his mouth.
She ate well, wrapping the meat cut as small as a fingernail with pickled vegetables and wraps.
……She looked like the world’s most irritable picky eater.
He now fully understood what it meant that Seo Kang, who had a small appetite, ate well without being picky only when he came to Sam Young’s house.
Because his food was filled with love and devotion.
Perhaps Seo Kang was not hungry, but craved for love.
And no, there was no way this tasteless thing kept going in.
“How is it? Tasty?”
Sam Young asked.
He quietly looked at the heap of wrap vegetables held in Sam’s left hand.
If he said it was delicious, he would be pushed again.
“I’m sorry, but it doesn’t seem to be to my taste.”
“Tastes can change.”
“No, I don’t think it will.”
“It changes, okay?”
“It doesn’t. Never.”
The tense atmosphere continued between the one trying to feed and the one trying to avoid eating.
Kang, sitting in the middle, watched the two men’s nerve war while eating a carrot like popcorn.
After a good sleep, it was a day when she had the most delicious meal.
Because the taste of food starts from the mind that can enjoy the food itself.
The meal ended nearly at 9 P.M.
Five empty bottles of Makgeolli.
Sam Young, who drank four and a half of them, lay miserably on the floor and murmured.
“Ah, daughter…..”
Hiccup.
“I want to have a child too…..”
He rolled around tucking his miserable arms between his legs, sleeptalking.
“If I hadn’t failed my first love, by now I would have a child like you…..”
Hiccup.
“My first love, she smiled like a flower and said to me…..”
Hiccup.
“Sam Young. I’m pregnant…..”
His face, which was grumbling solemnly, distorted.
He, who was shaking his walnutlike transformed jaw, sobbed and muttered repeatedly ‘how could this happen to me….’.
Our poor brother. He always says that when he’s drunk.
Kang, who was quietly watching with narrowed eyes, decided to protect Sam Young’s dignity around this point.
“I’ll clean up, so you lay him down on his blanket and come.”
At Kang’s words, he got up silently.
He disappeared into the cramped attic room, holding Samyeong as lightly as a feather as if she were a princess, and she began to clear the dinner table in silence.
After finishing up, the two quietly left the place and headed for the car parked down the hill.
Kang spoke first.
“I’m going to the gym.”
She didn’t eat much, but she had pork belly, so she had to burn off what she ate.
If she let her guard down even a little, she was likely to gain weight.
She spoke and San replied, taking out the car keys and pressing them.
“I’ll drop you off.”
“Are you going home?”
“I have some errands.”
… Ah. He’s going to eat something.
Now, she didn’t have to ask, she just accepted it.
The car headed for a gym near the apartment.
Kang, who got out of the car, waved her hand through the open passenger side window.
“See you in a bit.”
“Leave a message when you get up.”
“Why? Are you afraid I’ll suddenly disappear in the elevator?”
“There’s no law against that.”
A creepy answer came back to her joke.
“Ah, there’s no words. Anyway.”
“If something happens, call my name immediately.”
“Got it.”
Kang, who was about to nod and turn around, suddenly stopped as if she had thought of something.
Then she turned her body again, propped her hand on the window, and stuck her head out.
“You know. I’m curious about something.”
“What now.”
“How do you appear when I call you?”
She knew he tried to appear in a normal way if possible.
But she had always been curious about how he appeared when not coming through the door.
San looked at her and opened his mouth.
“Shadow.”
“Shadow?”
“Yes. I use the shadow that can get closest to you as a passage.”
So, anywhere.
As long as there’s darkness, he could reach her.
“…I see.”
Nodding her head, she smiled lightly, saying she understood, and immediately turned around.
San waited in the underground parking lot for Kang’s contact, and when he confirmed that she had entered, he left the building.
Then he immediately retraced his steps.
Baaang
His speed rose rapidly.
To return before Kang fell asleep, he had to hurry as much as possible.
The destination was,
“….”
Hae Sung Orphanage.
.
.
.
A chilly night.
The forest of the night without light was sleeping, having lost all its brilliant colors.
Passing through the sporadically lit road and through the densely grown forest that obscured the sky, a familiar sign came out.
San parked the car at the entrance and waited for time to pass.
The time when all the lights in the building went out, and everyone at the orphanage went to sleep.
Then, finally, the brightest main light went out.
Pop.
The light illuminating the entrance disappeared, and the orphanage was submerged in a deep gray.
The sudden nightfall blanketed time and space.
It was not unfamiliar.
Because it almost matched the scene she had seen in Kang’s dream.
Thump.
His footstep, stepping out of the car, quietly trod the gravel.
“…..”
Looking up, only faint light was leaking from the corridor on the 4th floor.
San, who had been staring at that place for a while, disappeared into the black darkness.
It was time to identify the culprit.
