a late dawn when everyone was asleep
It was dark because the whole house was turned off.
There was only one place, where the lights were on.
"There are three variants of the Mana Corporation...…."
The lamp was softly illuminating the living room.
On the table are monster drawings by grade, mana operation application, etc.
Textbooks issued by the Hunter Academy were in disarray.
Tick.
Is it because it's quiet because it's dawn?
The sound of the second hand moving was clearly heard.
Seol Yun-hee takes a sip of coffee in a mug.
I focused on studying for the exam again.
Even though it was passing 2 a.m.
Seol Yun-hee kept her eyes on the book.
Midterms that begin next week immediately.
Her goal was to achieve excellent grades and receive a scholarship.
That way, you can relieve Dojun's burden a little.
Bug.
I've already had three cups of coffee.
I can't help but close my eyes.
I do both study and housework.
As the test overlapped, physical strength seemed to be coming to a limit.
"Damorphosis... ...Yum...…."
in a calm and quiet way
Seol Yoon-hee's eyes are closed.
***
Chirp chirp.
A pair of sparrows sang in front of the window.
Seol's eyelids slowly opened in the morning sun entering the window.
The warmth felt the warmth of the blanket.
"Uh......."
Do you remember me coming to bed?
I remembered that I had studied at the table.
Seol Yun-hee yawned and checked her watch.
Her pupils dilated.
"......the alarm is off?"
Walk up the quilt and get up in a hurry.
On the bed, Yong-yong, Carthiel, and the stars were sleeping so hard that they wouldn't know.
For some reason, Do-joon was not seen.
in a burst
When you open the door and go out to the living room.
I could see Dojun doing something in the kitchen.
Seol Yoon-hee ran to Do-jun in surprise.
"Yes, I overslept. I'm sorry."
tooth gain
Vienna sausages and fried eggs were cooked on the frying pan.
Dojun has dark circles around his eyes.
Looking at his slightly disheveled hair, he sighed.
"It's all right. Go wash your face first."
"But..."
She looked at the frying pan that Dojun was holding.
"Listen to your father."
an emphatic tone of speech
Seol nodded slightly, feeling sorry.
Because he was doing what he had to do instead of Dojun.
"I'll be right back after washing up."
Seol Yoon-hee went into the bathroom.
Dojun put sausages and fried eggs on a plate and put them on the table.
Do-jun, who always felt grateful to Seol Yoon-hee, who would wake up early every day and prepare breakfast, wanted to help her even during the exam period.
a squeaking sound
Dojun who went into the bedroom.
To the point where no one can carry him,
I looked at Yong-yong, who was sleeping peacefully in the world with his belly up behind him.
***
10 a.m.
"Turn it off."
Yong-yong got up and stretched.
But I felt something on my forehead, so I took my front foot and touched it.
Softly.
A post-it fell off.
Yongyong put his head forward.
I checked what was written on the paper.
Throwing away trash.
Cleaning the floor, cleaning the bathroom.
Washing the dishes after breakfast.
I haven't prepared lunch yet, so take your own lunch.
(Byul must have lunch.)
I left 100,000 won on the table, so go grocery shopping with it.
...what is this?
Yongyong imitates Byul's way of speaking.
I read the contents of the post-it slowly and carefully again.
No matter how I look at it.
Master's handwriting......yes."
Yong-yong scratched his head.
Cold sweat flows from my back.
And approach Carthiel, who's still sleeping.
"Car, Carthiel... ".... Help me...….
It's an emergency.

"You Gon Moji?"
The star tilted his head while looking at the straw.
Wagon sack classified as paper, plastic, vinyl, styrofoam, etc.
I was wondering where to put it.
"Star. It's plastic."
"Gle Ku Na."
The stars are holding up their magpies.
I put the straw into the plastic collection box.
Carthiel was smiling, sorting trash.
Yong-yong put each of the classified garbage into a harness.
"How do you know so well?
"I come here often to throw it away with my little master."
"You're a faithful friend.
"Thank you, Monk Isa."
growl rumbling
Helping Yong-yong,
The stars that used to throw away classified garbage.
The stomach growled with rumbling.
"Pick a pear... ...My kid's gone now.…."
At that moment.
Yong-yong recalled the contents of the post-it.
Byul must pack lunch.
Cham! Cham! Cham!
Suddenly, Yong-yong's work speed increased.
"Joe, please wait a little longer. You can't reach your master?!
***
Whoo-hoo!
I don't have to go grocery shopping tonight.
Looking at the text from Dojun.
Seol Yoon-hee tilted her head.
I'm sure you ran out of side dishes in the fridge.
Thinking about why she doesn't have to go grocery shopping.
At that moment, my hands became weak and I dropped the pen without realizing it.
'Seo, you can't... ...'
Seol Yun-hee recalled Do-jun's colder-than-usual attitude this morning.
Dojun always smiles in the morning.
I think I was thinking about something with a stiff face while eating breakfast today.
She was like a charmed person who didn't even think to pick up a pen.
"Dismissal..."?
Why do I think it could be?
No, I know Dojun is never that kind of person.
The sudden change of attitude in the morning made Seol nervous.
I don't think you've been doing housework lately because of your exam study....... Is that what it is?'
She was cleaning every nook and cranny of the house.
I had to study for the exam, so I had to do it twice.
Trash had been left empty for days.
Besides, I think it's been 5 days since I cleaned the bathroom.
"... ...what do I do?"
Come to think of it, if you don't do the housework faithfully as originally stated in the contract.
Of course, from an employer's point of view, you'll be angry.
I think Do-joon has been so good that he has forgotten his duty.
Seol Yoon-hee reads the text from Do-joon several times.
I thought about how to ask for forgiveness.
***
Meanwhile, a local mart.
"Ori Kko Giju New York."
To the owner of the butcher's corner.
Byul spoke out in her own voice.
The owner looked slightly surprised.
Because I couldn't see my parents around me.
"Sweet, dear. What about your parents?"
"Mamma, you're going to school. Abba is a temple."
"......hear. Did you come alone?"
"Yong yong yi and si yi rang."
"With Yong-yong and Si?"
"Zee Gum Vegetables Go Le Go It Ser."
Where the stars pointed their fingers.
In the vegetable corner, Yongyong and Karsiel contained vegetables such as perilla leaves, lettuce and leek.
Yong-yong told me that I had to buy duck meat.
He came to the butcher's to help himself.
"It's fast."
"Huh. Are you going to grill it or make soup?"
At that moment, Byul had a brain freeze.
"Well, he doesn't know much..."
***
4 p.m.
Today, Dojun left work earlier than usual and returned home.
Seol Yoon-hee usually arrives home a little over 5 o'clock.
I was going to prepare dinner before that.
Today's dinner is grilled duck.
I memorized the recipe through internet search.
The ingredients had been asked by Yong-yong.
"Ap Bar!"
Let's open the gate and enter the living room,
Byul ran in tears and hugged her.
Dojun pats the head of a star and soothes it.
I asked him why he was crying.
"I'm afraid I've lost a few years."
"Mistake?"
"Kko, kko, kko, kko...…."
"What does that mean?"
Yongyong is the one who ordered an errand.
Why is Moon Byul talking about Manny when she bought the wrong one?
Dojun looked at the bag on the table.
Green onions, onions, garlic, carrots.
And a pack of chopped duck meat.
The pack says [for duck soup].
I'm sorry, Master......... I couldn't check.
Carthiel bowed his head as if he was ashamed.
Dojun looked around the living room. Where is Yong-yong?
And it was not difficult to find.
Shaking.
Bend yourself, holding your back.
Yongyong with his head on the ground.
"......what are you doing?"
That was the so-called Wonsan bombing position.
Where on earth did you learn that?
Dojun sighed and lifted Yong-yong up.
"I bought it well. Why."
"Well, are you serious?
Whether it's for roasting or popping.
Dojun didn't care much.
Even though it's necessary to remove the bones.
It's not that difficult.
"You cleaned me up, too. Good job."
Actually, I didn't expect this much.
Dojun smiled and rolled up his shirt.
Let's cook now.
***
Seol Yoon-hee had side dishes for dinner in both hands.
Although Dojun said he didn't have to go grocery shopping.
I thought doing this would soften Dojun's heart.
"......uh?"
There was Dojun's shoes in the shoe rack.
Has he already returned home?
In addition, there was a delicious smell in the house.
"You came?"
".........."
Dojun was cooking in the kitchen.
No, I'm almost done, so I'm moving it to a plate and setting it up on the table.
Carthiel, wearing a human-like polymorph, puts dishes served by Dojun on the table one by one.
"This is..."
"You came?"
"Did your father do it?"
Dojun nodded.
"The kids saw Jean."
Do-joon, who smiles as he pats the head of a star.
"I'm so angry. Ah."
Then Yong-yong tapped Seol Yoon-hee.
And with a proud look, he opened the bathroom and showed it.
The supplies were neatly arranged and the water was completely gone.
"Ahem."
"Yong-yong, did you clean it for him?"
"Keu. Be more pleased."
Seol Yoon-hee stared blankly at Do-jun.
"Daddy... angry......No?"
"Me?"
Dojun looked incomprehensible.
Why is he angry?
"Well, but today....... In the morning...I think you're serious....... you told me not to even look at the dinner......... getting fired......... I thought......"
I can't believe you're fired.
Do-jun laughed at his laughter.
"Studying hard for the test. There's not much time left, is there?"
Only then.
Seol Yun-hee could see why she got out of bed this morning.
And I woke up earlier than usual to prepare breakfast for Dojun, and the dragons and stars for cleaning and shopping.
"Mamma Earl Gul, this award."
"Little Master. The corners of your mouth are up."
Seol Yoonhee will use her smartphone camera.
He looked into his face.
A look that makes everyone look happy.
There's a smile hanging around the mouth.
Seol Yoon-hee's face turned red without realizing it, as her emotions seemed to be showing on her face.
'Embarrassed......'
Bangbae-dong, Seocho-gu, Seoul
Into the house of Changshin Villa 301.
The sunset was coming in.

Nine adventurers.
I gulped down my saliva.
