3. One step, two steps.

To be honest, this was my second time eating lamb.

I hadn’t come for a while, except for the one time I stopped by with Park Jin-soo, saying it was strange.

So I had no choice but to panic, but Kyung-hee was staring at me as if I was curious.

He said that if it were me, I would do well in anything, and I wouldn’t make mistakes or anything like that.

It wasn’t that I was good at anything.

Before telling them, I ordered skewers of lamb and alcohol.

“I’m not good at anything either. I cut my fingers with a knife while cooking, and there were times when I pushed a mop and vacuumed.”

“Do you cut your fingers often?”

“Yeah. I don’t wear bands on my fingers as often as you do, Kyunghee, but I used to cut them often.”

“aha………”

“But you got better because you practiced. Kyung-hee, you too will get better if you practice.”

“How do you control your liver?”

Kyunghee asked carefully.

I don’t know about everything else, but it seemed that I couldn’t control my liver.

It was definitely difficult to control the seasoning in cooking.

Because I often just seasoned it too hard when I was cooking.

So, after trying it, he told me that if it was mild, I could add more.

“Even adding a spoonful of soy sauce or red pepper paste enhances the taste.”

“Ah… That’s right. Siwoo.”

“yes?”

“Did you have many friends?”

Kyung-hee blurted out that she was suddenly curious.

It’s not that I’m suddenly curious, it’s likely that I’ve been curious about it for a long time.

But I thought it was disrespectful so I didn’t ask until now.

To be honest, it was incredibly cute. If something happened, they would blush and flap their ears.

It was a little bit obsessive and dependent on me, but it was fine because he was aware of that.

It was still a level I could get past.

And even putting that aside, Kyunghee was very cute.

To the point where it could have happened if I wasn’t careful not to cross the line.

“Did you have a lot of friends?”

“No, they all split. There were a lot in high school, but they all split at universities.”

“Aha. Are you having a reunion too?”

“It’s a boys’ high school reunion, so I don’t go often.”

“why?”

“What can boys do? They’ll drink and become dogs and be carried away.”

“Ahh.”

Kyeong-hee let out a short sigh, probably imagining it.

Actually, the reunion was fun. But after that, I wasn’t happy at all.

I stopped going to reunions after watching my parents and family members drag me by the ears and tails.

Oh, did Park Jin-soo say he ran up to 3 times with his father?

“So, after going to university, I tend to drink or play with my classmates.”

“yes?”

“Yeah. But I don’t do that often. I’m not that extroverted.”

“So you’re an introvert?”

“It’s not like that. I just like to hang out with people I know. Not so much with people I’m meeting for the first time.”

“aha……..”

“Kyung-hee, how are you?”

“I think I’m definitely an extrovert.”

Kyung-hee hurriedly finished her words and fixed her eyes on the lamb skewers.

It was the first time I had eaten this kind of food, so it seemed strange and delicious.

In the end, Kyung-hee couldn’t stand it and picked up a skewer and looked at me.

I nodded to Bochae, who said she wanted to eat quickly, and then I grabbed a skewer as well.

Curiously, there was something more attached to it so that it could be skewered and eaten.

“It’s delicious… It’s similar to beef, but a bit more savory and juicy…”

“Drink the sauce and cumin and eat it. Is it Tsuran?”

“I don’t know. Wouldn’t it be okay to dip everything first?”

Kyunghee’s eyes lit up.

I dipped a piece of meat in the sauce and ate it, thinking my ears must be ringing.

Kyung-hee seemed to like the taste and continued eating.

Then, seeing the price tag, Kyunghee slowed down.

I thought it was because I saw that it was 12,000 won for 10 pieces, but it was okay.

It was because my parents agreed to pay for this kind of food for me because I went to college well.

In fact, my parents gave me everything except for the things I couldn’t tell them.

So, it’s Kyunghee’s clothes. Or something like a PC room.

So when I said I didn’t have to worry, Kyunghee avoided looking at me.

“You can drink more.”

“Ha, but…but Siwoo is paying for it, right?”

“it’s okay.”

“And let’s go home and have a drink. Outside, just feel good.”

“If you want, do that. I’ll go home and make snacks.”

Perhaps it was only then that she felt relieved, and Kyung-hee pushed the cheeks full of lamb.

The manager could also see Kyung-hee laughing all the time in the kitchen, probably because she was cute.

He even said that he would give something else as a service, so it was understandable.

The amount of lamb skewers was smaller than expected.

I think Kyunghee and I both ate more than 10, but we weren’t full.

“I ate 15, Siwoo.”

“yes?”

“We both shared 15 pieces. I ordered 30 pieces.”

“Then, let’s eat this and leave. Go home and eat some more.”

“yes.”

After paying the bill and going outside, Kyung-hee started asking questions about her school life, saying that she missed the timing and couldn’t ask.

At first, I didn’t know the intention, so I gave a rough answer, but gradually I got to know what the intention was.

Kyung-hee now wants to resume her studies and wants to go to college with me.

It’s not a vague idea that I’ve been talking about the other day, but if I can, I’ll study properly.

His enthusiasm stood out, so he told me the fantasy of college life to burn a little more.

Of course, he didn’t forget to tell the truth after that, but it seemed to Kyung-hee that other things were more important than that.

“My, if I go to campus with you… I’m a CC, right?”

“Yes. That’s how it works. Why? Do you want to do it?”

“Yeah… I want to stay with you even after I go to university.”

“You should study hard, our Kyunghee.”

“That’s right. My father said that he would pay for college tuition at your university, but since I quit school, I should get a scholarship…”

“That can’t help.”

“It’s okay, Siwoo. I already told you that you’ve had enough.”

Looking at Kyung-hee, he didn’t seem to have a bad head.

There was a high possibility that he could not study because he was not feeling well.

Well, I had to study while drinking alcohol with that body condition.

It was only strange that I was good at it.

But now that I feel better, I will be able to do well,” said Kyung-hee.

“Anyway, the other day, I asked for problem books to be sent to me.”

“Workbook?”

“About the workbooks I wrote in my senior year of high school. I didn’t throw them away because I could use them someday.”

“Did you solve it?”

“Actually, I don’t write down the answers in the workbook. I only mark the wrong or not wrong ones in small sizes.”

“Oh, are you going to keep solving it later?”

“Yeah. That’s how it is. So it’s almost like new.”

“ah……..”

“Study hard, Kyung-hee. I want to hear seniors teasing that their first girlfriend is a CC.”

Kyung-hee asked if he was even making fun of it.

And the seniors were mischievous, so I made fun of them.

Of course, he gave me a gift saying goodbye and not breaking.

“Am I being teased for being a CC since my first boyfriend?”

“Would that be?”

“Five…………..”

“Rather than that, aren’t you thinking too far?”

“No, I can do it. I can do anything as long as I can be with you.”

“Yes. Kyunghee, you can do it. Where are you going to aim?”

“Your department. Right next year, I’ll go to the campus holding hands with you.”

Kyunghee put on a determined expression.

My first thought was that it might be a bit overkill.

Although my university is not prestigious, it was not inferior to universities in the metropolitan area as much as marine-related departments.

No, rather, I came to the point where I came here from Seoul to live on my own.

You would have to study really hard to get a scholarship in such a department.

But I thought I shouldn’t hit the candle now, so I encouraged him first.

After that, I bought a drink, shared it with Kyunghee, and returned to my room.

“I’ll make snacks. I.”

“Kyung-hee, do you know how to make snacks?”

“Yes. I can do it. I know how.”

“Aren’t you cutting your fingers again?”

“no!”

I thought I would cut my finger again, so I took out a first-aid kit, but to my surprise, Kyung-hee’s finger was fine.

No one was hurt while cutting the sausages and onions into pieces.

Kyung-hee, who had finished cutting the ingredients, patted her ears.

Kyeong-hee, who was washing the kitchen knife and putting it away as if to say not to worry anymore, frowned.

Then she ran to the bathroom, moaning in pain.

I wondered what was going on, but I knew right away.

“I rubbed my eyes with the hand that touched the onion…”

“I want to make fun of you for being an idiot.”

“Don’t make fun of me… It really hurts and upsets me.”

“Fool.”

“Ugh.”

Kyung-hee came out wiping her reddened eyes with a towel.

Fortunately, it wasn’t that hot, so I could see him cooking again.

Thinking that he would catch me later and teach me things like the wisdom of life, I put away my laptop and laid out the drinking table.

In the meantime, Kyunghee was making various side dishes.

Then, one last time, he called me and asked if he wanted to make another one.

“How do you make steamed egg?”

“It’s simple. Just add a little dried shrimp, boil the broth, and unwrap the eggs.”

“aha.”

“When the lumps come up, boil them over low heat for 10 minutes, dissolve the starch, and they’ll be just like what’s sold in the market.”

“Miraculous…..”

“I’ll steam the meat tomorrow, so look forward to it.”

“yes!”

Kyung-hee smiled brightly, then looked at me blankly, asking where the dried shrimp was.

It was incredibly cute, so I ended up hugging it from behind and petting it a lot.

Kyeong-hee grumbled, but I could tell from the sound of her ears flapping in a good mood.

After cuddling for a while, they put the snacks in a bowl and set them on the table.
