Chapter 5
In 10 minutes Toast sounds better.
I quickly opened the overhead cupboard and took out a bag of bread.
It was a little moist, but not inedible.
Lets quickly put this in the oven.
I set it to 2 minutes by turning the timer attached to the oven handle.
It would be crispy and delicious if I baked it longer, but I couldnt afford to waste any more time.
While heating up the bread, I opened the refrigerator and took out three types of cream cheese and jam.
Since he was a son of a rich family with a picky taste, there were a lot of overseas products with popular food brands.
I dont think he brought them with his own hands Anyway, thank you for the food.
The bread, which turned slightly brown on the surface, was first thickened with cream cheese.
The cream cheese melted gently when it touched the heated surface of the oven.
Add a lot of blueberry jam on top of it, and it was done.
Confirming that the time count at the bottom of the status window was decreasing, the status window protested as I cut off the edges of the toast.
[<Warning> Please use the additional time for its intended purpose.]
Wang-!
Posil barked silently as if to attract my attention.
Whose side are you on?
Hes probably on the side of the system anyway. Instead of talking, I snorted, picked another piece of bread, and put cream cheese on the new bread.
You didnt say I cant use it for food.
[If you dont use the rest of the time for its original purpose, you may face penalties later]
Heung. Even then, it would have been enough to bite on prior agreements and notices.
Okay. Dont you know that dogs dont bother people at mealtime?
No answer this time.
I checked that I had about five minutes left, and slowly picked up my cell phone again.
[One missed call]
[From: Mom]
What does it feel like to call your mother Mom, instead of Mother? I wouldnt know because I lost my biological mother when I was young and grew up with my stepmother.
Hyunsung, is there really no guardian who can come to see you? If Mom and Dad are having a hard time, at least your grandmother or grandfather
From elementary school to high school dropout. For all those years, my family consisted of an irresponsible father, a blatantly abusive stepmother, and an immature half-brother.
It had been too long since I lost the existence of someone who pampered me and I could call Mom sweetly.
The call button is Lets see
I took a quick deep breath. Then, I chewed the last bite of the toast and swallowed it.
As my stomach became stronger, I began to feel relaxed little by little. As expected, people have to fill their stomachs first.
What if she doesnt answer this time?
I stammered and pressed the call button with a momentary sense of uneasiness.
Ttureureureu- ttureureureu-.
Has the signal been connected three times? A middle-aged womans low voice readily answered the phone.
Oh my, Yise! Whats going on? My son calls me first?
You called me first, though? I just pressed the outgoing button on the missed call. In other words, it was Ahn Junghee who called first.
I have a missed call. Im sorry I missed your call, Mothe-Mom.
I almost said Mother before I knew it. The word Mom made me speechless.
Mrs. Ahn Jung-hee was unexpectedly touched when I narrowly made a mistake.
My son, you should call back when Mom calls you. I know youre busy, but it would be nice if you keep in contact with me like today.
No wonder, rather than a scolding The mother, who was unable to contact her son once, seemed to complain lightly.
Come to think of it, the title of the tutorial is Melting perfectly.
Is it okay to do something Cheon Yise wouldnt do?
[Tutorial 1 The second event> You can only start meeting members during the day]
[Time adjustment begins for smooth progress]
At the same time, a great amount of drowsiness suddenly poured in, and my body naturally lay down on the bed.
Then my eyes were forced to close.
Oh, this
[Time left until the end of the time adjustment 10 9 8 7 6 5, 4, 3, 2]
[1!]
As soon as the count was over, my eyes opened.
I got up in bewilderment. The clock, which was supposed to point at 10 p.m., now pointed to 9 a.m.
Then, next to the bed, the phone on the table turned on.
Buuung, buuung
My body reacted first to the loud vibrating call and bounced out.
Yes, Ive received the call.
Oh, Yise. The kids are asking me if you are okay because I met you yesterday.
It was a little surprising, but I replied as if nothing had happened.
Of course, you saw it yesterday. I am fine.
Okay, thats a relief. Come and show your face to the kids for a second. Everyone was really worried.
Looking at the signs of life It seemed like this guy had been stuck in the apartment all by himself.
Then, it will be better to report this guys survival for the first time in a long time and check what kind of jerks they are.
If I have time today, Ill go to the dorm.
Yes. There are no group activities these days, so there will be some people who cant meet you when they go home or do individual activities, so make sure to set the time in our group chat.
Yes, I wish I can meet the Hyungs too.
The moment I was about to wrap up the call with a simple farewell.
Oh, right. I dont know the address of the dorm. I asked the manager urgently.
Hyung! Im sorry, but I havent been there for a long time, I am confused with the address. Can you tell me?
Were in a hurry, so there wont be a time for rejection. For a long time, the young managers voice came out without hesitation.
Once again, I admired my tongue and waited for the managers answer.
Hey, how can you forget the address of the dorm even if youre not interested? You didnt bump your head into anything, did you? Ill text you, so go follow the navigation.
There has to be a private car that Cheon Yise dragged around alone
Right. Considering the wealth of the Cheonsu Group, it would be strange not to have it.
But now I dont even know my car number. I have to take a taxi to the dorm.
Yes, please text me. Take care.
I looked for a long time at the text that arrived soon after I finished the phone call. It felt awkward to use the latest iPhone with a new flickering message screen.
Ive been using the low-end Android only for messenger and phone calls for five years
I need to get used to this now. First, I looked for the Back button to go to the main screen on the phone.
But no matter how hard I looked, I couldnt see the Back key.
Whats wrong with this machine?
I was flustered for a long time, and after pressing the button recklessly, I was able to return to the main screen.
At the same time, I noticed the notifications that had been pushed back.
Why are there so many unchecked notifications?
Messenger, advertisements, phone calls, all kinds of notifications.
The problem was that I had no way of handling the notification through my phone right away.
I pushed the notification to the side as I used to on my old Android smartphone, but it only showed a strange button and did not disappear.
I I will have to check this out later.
I decided to turn off the phone screen and started getting ready to go out.
How do I turn off the screen?
To live as Cheon Yise, I have to overcome this phones operation method first.
