After finishing the Academy's daily routine.
Seol Yun-hee always stopped by a nearby local mart before going home.
She is responsible for making dinner for her family.
Without posting the same menu consecutively, we carefully selected fresh ingredients from the mart every day to cook. That was the pleasure of her day.
The cooking process itself is fun.
The greatest joy was also when I saw my family eating deliciously.
If you can cheer up after a day's fatigue from your own cooking.
No matter how hard it is, you can cheer up.
"A kilo of freshwater eel costs 22,000 won! Only for 30 minutes from now!"
As I entered the seafood section, an employee was shouting out a time sale.
The eel was not usually bought well because it was quite expensive compared to other fish and meat products, so Seol Yoon-hee smiled and walked to the stand.
"Oh. It's Yoon-hee. Did you come shopping today?"
Team leader Kim Hwan-joong welcomed Seol Yoon-hee, who is entering his fifth year at 365 discount store.
Seol Yoon-hee, who comes to the mart every day around 5 p.m., was receiving quite a lot of love from the mart staff. I knew that I was living alone with my father and doing all the housework, but I was proud of that part.
"Yes, sir. I'd like a fresh two-key one, please.
"Haha. Yeah. Give me a few minutes."
Kim Hwan-joong, who puts two kilos of eel in a plastic bag.
And I put two packs in the cart led by Seol Yoon-hee.
Seol Yoon-hee tilted her head.
"It's eel seasoning. It's a secret because it's only for you."
Kim Hwan-joong winked and shook his head over heels.
Seol Yoon-hee smiled broadly and bowed her head to express her gratitude.
"Thank you, mister. Sell a lot."
I bought the ingredients for the main dish.
Now we're going to choose something to eat for dessert.
I decided to buy a pack of strawberries because I thought seasonal vegetables or fruits would be good.
Seol Yun-hee especially liked strawberries.
"Yoon-hee, you're here again today."
The lady in the vegetable corner greets me.
"Hello, ma'am."
"How come you're getting so pretty day by day? Do you have a boyfriend?"
"Oh, you too!"
"Ho-ho. I'm kidding. Here, this is chwinamul. Go home and cook it."
Take a pack of chwinamul.
The mart staff always took care of me like this little by little by little.
Seol Yun-hee was receiving it regularly without refusing.
If we can help the family, we can ease the burden on Dojun.
"Thank you. Thank you for the food."
Seol Yoon-hee smiled.
***
Meanwhile, the crack management department of Seoul City Hall.
[Documents to be processed : 0 cases]
Dojun burned down the day and processed all the official documents that had been piled up.
It has been four months since he returned to earth and returned to work.
His immature work skills have improved so much that he has now been as good as, or even better, civil servants with most of his spare time, and is now fully adapting to public service.
"Shi, sir! No, if you say that when it's almost time to get off work..."
Behind the scenes came the embarrassed voice of Chief Kang Chul-soo.
After a while, Kang Chul-soo, who hung up the phone, sweeps his head with a long sigh.
And he jumped up from his seat.
"Hyoksu. Dojun. Come here for a second."
Do-joon and Kwon Hyuk-soo look at each other.
Kwon Hyuk-soo smiled and shrugged.
"You must have a problem."
As if they agree.
Dojun nods his head.
And if you go to Kang Chul-soo's seat.
I could see a Korean file on the computer screen.
"......Status of Crack Management?"
Kwon Hyuk-soo recited the title of the Korean file.
And when you scroll down.
There was a form to write down information on cracks managed by the Seoul Metropolitan Government, such as serial numbers, management numbers, grades, appearance monsters and by-products, mapping data, the average number of entries per day, and Hunter grades. But the biggest problem is.
"Emergency... ...the mayor's request......... Submit by 7 a.m. tomorrow......."
Next to the title.
A highlighted letter marked in red.
Dojun took out his smartphone and asked two people.
"Do you want to order dinner?"
***
Seol already had experience in grooming eels.
First, pour warm water to remove the smell of soil and remove the mucus from the surface.
Use kitchen scissors to clean the fins under running water.
And with a towel, wipe off the water by gently pressing the skin so that it doesn't break.
It was done by repeatedly inserting the cut into the inner flesh at intervals of about 5mm.
"What is this?"
"Eel. Please wait a little longer."
Yong-yong wags his tail watching the eel grooming next to the sink.
For your information, Yongyong saw a fish called eel for the first time since he was born.
Anyway, I was looking forward to it because it must be a kind of meat.
"Eel is said to be good for rejuvenation.
"Yes. You know Ciel well."
I saw it on the Internet. Oh, and they say it's good for men's energy.
In Karsiel's words.
Seol Yoon-hee, who was grooming eels, stopped acting.
a face as red as a beet
Yong-yong giggled at the embarrassed Seol Yoon-hee.
"What? It's pretty much what you look like."….
For a moment, Seol Yun-hee hit the knife on the cutting board! I put it in.
Surprised Yong-yong stepped back.
"Hiccups."
"What is he talking about? Our Yongyong."
......well, it means you're good at handling eel.
"Yes. Thank you."
I'm so scared I can't even talk.
Yong-yong jumped off the sink thinking that way.
Likewise, I beckoned to see the rigid carciel.
If you want to live, hurry up and come over here.
"But you're a little late today, Master a little late today.
Yong-yong lifted his head and looked at the wall clock.
The time is a little past 7 p.m.
At that time. Seol Yoon-hee's smartphone on the table had a text message.
Yong-yong climbed onto the table and touched his front foot, sulking his password.
For your information, the passwords of humans in this house are really simple. 0000.
......heh.
a letter from Dojun
Something came up all of a sudden today, so I think I'll be late, so eat first and go to bed. Brush the kids' teeth.
Yong-yong sighed at the back of Seol Yun-hui, who was cooking.
I'm sure.
You'll be disappointed.
***
On the table was a plate full of well-done, spicy grilled eel.
The scent alone made me feel the texture of my tongue melting.
However, the air was surprisingly heavy and quiet, so that it could not be heard except for the sound of the second hand of the wall clock.
There are days like this in life.
Yong-yong tried to soothe Seol Yoon-hee, who was depressed.
Karsiel was also not able to eat, looking at Seol Yoon-hee's eyes.
If this evening was just, like, a normal meal, it wouldn't have been this bad.
......of all things. I can't believe I'm working overtime today.
Carthiel sighs.
"Me, I'm sorry. Because of me. It's going to get cold. Hurry up and eat."
Seol Yoon-hee smiled and ate a little bit of rice with chopsticks.
However, he mumbled rice and soon became depressed again.
I worked really hard on it.
Today's meal was really good.
That makes me feel rather vulgar.
Took.
Unlock the lock screen of your smartphone.
I went into the gallery and looked through the pictures.
Most of the pictures are landscape pictures or pictures taken with friends at the academy.
Or videos taken during the crack class and photos of Yong-yong and Karsiel.
And I saw a picture of Yong-yong sleeping with his mouth open and drooling.
Seol smiled unknowingly.
"You're a fool."
"What is it?"
When Seol Yunhee smiles.
Yongyong and Karsiel also had smiles.
Go near her and peep at her smartphone.
"What, what is this?" at a certain moment's notice.'
"Cute, Monk Isa."
..........
Swoosh.
Turn the screen over and look at the next picture.
It was Yong-yong's picture.
No, to be exact, a picture of Yongyong sleeping in Dojun's chest.
"But this picture is a little shaky."
"I know."
"Oh, well, you'really."
Seol Yoon-hee smiled awkwardly.
And if you look at the next picture, this time, it was a picture of Carthiel and Yong-yong eating.
"This is clear.
"Yes. Well, there's no way I'm always shaking."
"......I don't want to see it anymore."
"I'd like to see a little more. Little master.
Me too! That's funny.
"Well... ...a little bit?"
I look around 10 more pictures.
Suddenly, Carthiel muttered while looking at the picture.
It's... it's strange. All the photos of the owner were shaken.
At that remark.
Seol Yoon-hee's face turns red.
I hurriedly turned off the screen of my smartphone.
"The rice is going to get cold. Let's eat."
***
"Ah. Do it."
"Ahhhhhh."
After dinner.
Seol Yun-hee was brushing Yong-yong.
I think I'm quite used to toothpaste now.
Yong-yong didn't run anymore.
I feel it again, but the dragon's teeth are very hard.
I had to buy a new toothbrush once a week.
"Mouthwalker."
Seol Yoon-hee poured water into Yong-yong's mouth.
Yong-yong gargled and spat water out at the drain.
Seol Yoon-hee, who wiped Yong-yong's mouth with a dry towel, stole the sweat dripping from her forehead with the back of her hand. Now her day is over.
"Now go to bed."
"What about you?"
"I..."
Seol Yun-hee saw an eel wrapped in plastic wrap on the table.
"I'll go to bed in a little while."
Yong-yong nodded his head and walked to the master bedroom.
Time past midnight.
In fact, it would have been time to sleep.
Seol Yoon-hee took her smartphone out of the sofa and tried to call Do-jun, but soon quit. I'm concentrating on my work, and I'll get in the way of calling you.
... ...little master. I'll get going first.
"Yes. Good night, Ciel."
"Yes, my little master will come to bed later.
"Thank you for your concern."
Seol Yoon-hee smiled.
***
"Good work."
The sudden demand for data from the market brought the start of overtime to an end.
Looking at the clock, it was already past 2 a.m.
Kwon Hyuk-soo stretched himself and said,
"You did a great job, too, Do-joon."
"But I'm glad it ended sooner than I thought."
Kang Chul-soo took two 50,000 won bills out of his wallet and handed them out to Kwon Hyuk-soo and Do-jun one by one.
"Good work. Take a taxi today."
Dojun shook his head.
Why would Kang Cheol-soo pay them for a taxi after all the hard work together?
"Sigh. I can't sleep tonight because I'm sorry if I don't answer. What are you doing? My arm hurts. Take it quickly."
Kang Chul-soo frowned and overreacted as if his arm really hurt.
Looking at him, Do-joon smiled and received 50,000 won.
"Thank you, sir."
***
When Dojun came back home and entered the front door,
I could see the light in the living room.
It's past 2:30 in the morning. Of course, it was normal when the lights were off.
I said, "... ..sleep."
Seol Yoon-hee is sleeping quietly on the sofa.
Was he waiting for him?
When I thought so, I felt like I had done something terrible.
For waiting like this.
It's not in the contract.
Dojun sighed and brought a blanket from his bedroom.
I carefully covered Seol Yoon-hee with a blanket so that she wouldn't wake up.
".Daddy."
"Yes."
"Um."
He seems to be talking in his sleep.
Suddenly, Do-jun's vision caught sight of the plate on the table.
If you walk there and check, you can see the eel wrapped in plastic wrap.
I think it was the dinner menu this evening.
".........."
Dojun sat on the table chair.
Then I took off the wrap and picked up a piece of eel with chopsticks and put it in my mouth.
It's been several hours, and it's completely cooled down.
Somehow.
It was warm.
