690 times. what is your dream
He scooped up the porridge with a mixing spoon and put it in his mouth.
I thought I had lost my appetite, but it was strangely overdone.
It seemed that this was also a food of the world, and it seemed to be hallucinating in the stomach.
‘That’s right...’
the girl asked Yeon Jeok-ha, who tilted her head and ate the porridge.
“why? Does it taste strange?”
At the first words, the eyes of the family all turned to Yeonjeokha.
Feeling burdened by people’s stares, Yeonjeokha shook his head in an exaggerated motion.
“no! delicious! It’s because it’s been a long time since I’ve eaten it.”
Then people turned their heads.
I saw a child who cared about herself.
The child’s family consisted of seven members: grandparents, parents, and three siblings.
How many of them can survive in a savior where wild beasts roam everywhere?
The child who met Yeon Jeok-ha’s eyes blinked.
“why?”
“How old are you?”
“I am twelve.”
I was a little surprised that he married at a much older age than I thought.
He looked much younger than he was because he was small, but he was twelve years old!
“What is your dream?”
“yes?”
“What do you want to be?”
“Isn’t there anything like that?”
“Isn’t there anything you want to be?”
“yes.”
“Is there anything you want to do?”
“When I grow up, I will help at the restaurant.”
The child’s voice had power.
Yeon Jeok-ha, who was shaking his head, asked as if to confirm.
“Is working in a restaurant your dream?”
“I will help!”
“Doesn’t that sound the same?”
“Isn’t it? It’s just helping.”
When the child strongly denied it, the sister-in-law tilted her head.
No matter how much you think about it, it sounds the same, but why do you deny it?
I don’t know what’s inside
Ashamed, he thriftly scraped the porridge from the bottom of the bowl.
This time the child asked.
“What is Uncle doing?”
“me?”
“yes.”
“I...”
It was when Yeonjeokha was rolling his head to cover up properly.
Screams were heard in the distance.
The peaceful dinner time turned into a crucible of fear in an instant.
The middle-aged man put down the porridge bowl and took out an old javelin from his luggage.
“Don’t panic, stay still. You are looking after the children like the father and mother of the house.”
“Are you sure you want to go there?”
The old man looked at his son with a worried face.
The old man felt resentful of his son, who would take out a dagger whenever he was at the military gate for a while.
“I’ll just check what’s going on. We need to be aware of what has appeared before we can prepare for it.”
The middle-aged man glanced at the young enemy.
Before he could say anything, he jumped up.
“I will go with you.”
I’m curious about what’s going on, but it’s to ease the middle-aged man’s worries.
How embarrassing it would be to leave a stranger alone with your family.
I walked through the darkness shoulder to shoulder with the middle-aged man I was dating.
A middle-aged man who was walking by knocking out tree branches with a javelin got lucky.
“This is also a relationship, so let’s say it’s a common name. I am Hwang Woo-yeon. He runs a small restaurant in Dumou County.”
“I’m asking you to get married. There is nothing special to do.”
“Did you even study writing?”
Hwang Woo-yeon thought Yeon Jeok-ha was slender, so he was at the level of a literary master.
“Wouldn’t you know if you sleep with a book? I am not the one reading it.”
“Whoops!”
Hwang Woo-yeon laughed.
He looks delicate, but surprisingly, I like how he acts honestly and plainly.
“Thank you for accepting my first son, who seems to be bothering you.”
“The kid is smart.”
“I have to tear off the skin of the remaining one so others can get the meat, right?”
“That is true.”
Hwang Woo-yeon looked at Yeon Jeok-ha.
The skin of an iron-class beast was something ordinary people could not do.
“I’ll go and tear another one up and come back.”
Hwang Woo-yeon, who had a relationship, returned like lightning without even giving a chance to talk about leather.
When Yeon Jeok-ha and Hwang Woo-yeon returned, Hwang Woo-yeon’s father, who had been waiting anxiously, grabbed his son and scolded him.
“Hey! Where are you running to? What will happen to your wife and children if you die! You irresponsible bastard! If you are old, you have to pay for your age! How long will I live doing what I want to do!”
“Oh, your father is right. You made a hundred mistakes this time. If you go wrong, how are you telling your wife and children to live?”
At the scolding of the elderly parents, Hwang Woo-yeon lowered her head.
“Wrong. I will never do that again.”
Hwang Woo-yeon learned a lot from this incident.
His short spear was shamefully useless against Heukwoong.
If it wasn’t for Yeonjeokha, he would have been eaten by Black Woong.
Knowing the danger of the beast, he acted complacently for a moment.
When Hwang Woo-yeon admitted her wrongdoing, her elderly parents did not scold her anymore.
The typhoon passed and a calm came.
Hwang Woo-yeon’s wife pointed to the meat and asked.
“By the way, where did you get the meat at midnight?”
“uh? Oh this? I went and there was a bear. Brother Yeon is not an ordinary person. Just hit it once, so you can’t even slap it and die right away?”
“Is it bear meat?”
“uh.”
Hwang Woo-yeon, fearing that his family would be surprised, referred to black-woong, an iron-class beast, as a regular bear.
Hwang Woo-yeon’s family thought so and didn’t ask more.
Thinking that porridge alone was not enough, Hwang Woo-yeon kneaded the meat of Heuk-woong.
He did not spare meat in cooking.
It’s because I have to throw away the remaining meat anyway by tomorrow evening.
The smell of roasting meat spread everywhere.
People around me glanced at the unusual smell of meat, but no one came to beg. This is because no one has yet to starve to that extent because it is in the early stages of evacuation.
Originally, bear meat is difficult to cook because of its distinctive fishy smell.
However, like the owner of the restaurant, Hwang Woo-yeon’s bear dish was savory and sweet.
It is the time when a young man with a stomach filled with bear meat looks at the flickering flames with grim eyes.
The first one quietly approached and started talking.
“mister.”
“huh?”
“Did you learn martial arts?”
“Why?”
“No, because you caught a bear.”
“Yes, I learned. Are you okay?”
Then, the first one suddenly looked up at Yeonjeokha with eyes of envy.
Feeling burdened by that blatant gaze, Yeonjeokha slightly turned his upper body to the other side.
The first one spoke softly to the back of the younger enemy’s head.
“This is a secret. When I grow up, I will learn martial arts like you.”
“You said you didn’t want to be anything before?”
“It’s decided now.”
“Oh, is that so? Was the bear meat that good?”
“Hehe, there is something like that.”
As the eldest laughed innocently, the younger siblings burst into laughter.
Suddenly, Menua came to mind.
Come to think of it, Hwang Woo-yeon’s eldest was the same age as Menua.
“What is your name?”
“Seoyunyo.”
He took out a leather pouch containing a tip from his arms and held it out.
“Take it.”
“What’s this?”
“Something good for the body. Keep it and eat it one by one. It will be of great help when you learn martial arts later.”
“thank you.”
Seoyoon took the leather pouch she had received from Yeonjeokha and looked around.
“and! It smells good.”
Smell the delicate scent that flows out of your pocket, and your body feels light as if it will fly away.
He left Seoyoon, who was distracted by his pockets, and stood up.
Then Hwang Woo-yeon hurriedly approached and tried to see Yeon Jeok-ha off.
“It’s okay. It’s a place where you can touch your nose if you fall down.”
It was not an exaggeration, but a fact, since Yeonjeokha’s seat was ten paces away.
the next morning.
I slowly opened my eyes and slowly looked around at the strange feeling of being in love.
‘huh?’
Hwang Woo-yeon and his family, who ate bear dishes together until late, were nowhere to be seen.
I felt somehow bitter.
We would have broken up in the morning anyway, so it would be nice if we could say hello.
