Seaweed soup bubbling over.

Steam rises white from the pot, and there is something subtle about the savory taste unique to seaweed soup that stimulates the appetite just by smelling it.

‘Is it beef seaweed soup?’

With the scent that spreads slowly, Kang Ho-yeon was able to quickly identify the identity of seaweed soup. It’s the most straightforward, but that’s why it’s the most reliable choice. Recalling the taste that goes well with rice, Kang Ho-yeon licked her lips for a moment.

“It’s okay.”

But that wasn’t all Kang Tae-han had prepared.

A pressure cooker that sits next to the gas stove.

Perhaps they had already finished cooking, they were steaming with the lights turned off, but when they opened the lid of the pot, a strong meat aroma that was incomparably incomparable to the smell of beef seaweed soup from earlier began to spread.

“For breakfast… Isn’t that too big?”

Its identity was quickly brought to the table.

Beef ribs cooked in a pressure cooker. Kang Ho-yeon said with a laugh at the tender flesh and the thick smell of braised ribs.

“It’s a little rough for breakfast, but it’s okay for a birthday, well.”

Kang Tae-han responded with appropriate words and placed seaweed soup and brown rice on the table in turn.

“… haha.”

A hearty morning birthday table prepared like that.

Kang Ho-yeon, who was still looking down at the prize, felt a part of her heart fill up involuntarily.

After being separated from my wife early.

To be honest, hardly anyone has ever served his birthday this way. It was all about just having a drink with friends and coming back.

That’s a story from when I was young, and these days, it’s more common to think ‘So it’s your birthday’ after the date has passed.

‘This is true.’

I’d be lying if I said I’d never imagined something like this, where my son prepares a birthday table himself.

However, he knew that he was lacking a lot as a father, so he dismissed it as shameless wind and thought it was unrelated.

That’s why I’m still looking down at this grandiose breakfast spread out in front of me… The true feelings are new yet unique, sorry yet thankful, such complex emotions slowly fill up in one corner of the heart.

“Can I eat this?”

“Then the owner of the birthday party eats it, who eats it? Please eat quickly. Then I will eat too.”

“I got it, you bastard.”

Possibly guessing his father’s feelings, Kang Tae-han spoke in a blunt and playful voice. Kang Ho-yeon burst out laughing and slowly took a spoonful of seaweed soup to her mouth.

But can you really taste it?

It wasn’t that he didn’t have an appetite, but there was no way he could taste the food properly amidst that emotional feeling that even tears would form if he was vigilant.

… I thought

“… Well?”

The moment you taste it.

Kang Ho-yeon let out a small exclamation involuntarily.

Originally, it was close to rushing the first drink to start eating, but he immediately moved the spoon and brought the second bite to his mouth.

Two mouthfuls, three mouthfuls… Then a spoonful of rice.

‘Why is it so cold in your mouth?’

The savory taste wrapped around him as if he had sniped at his taste buds!

It’s not because my son cooked it for no reason, it was actually one of the best seaweed soups I’ve ever eaten.

There was still a tingling feeling in his heart, but that was not a reason for Kang Ho-yeon to stop drinking.

“haha.”

As soon as he ate one of the steamed ribs, a simple smile came out of his mouth.

Looking at the appearance alone, I thought it would be a little salty, so I even scooped a spoonful of rice, but when I tasted it, the well-balanced liver and deeply ingrained savory taste created a rich yet exquisite taste.

‘It’s good that you eat well.’

On the other hand, Kang Tae-han smiled happily. After all, from the point of view of the person who made the dish, eating it deliciously was the happiest thing.

It was Kang Ho-yeon’s vague wish for her son to prepare a table for her birthday, but it was also Kang Tae-han’s small wish to serve her father’s birthday table.

More precisely, a wish that came to mind when I was in Moorim.

At the time, I thought that I might not be able to return to reality, and even if I did, it would be difficult for my father to be alive, so it was really just a vague wish.

That’s why he was looking forward to his father’s birthday.

It wasn’t that I prepared a particularly grandiose gift or event, but… On the contrary, thinking that this is just right for now, Kang Tae-han smiled.

“Where did you learn how to make soup?”

“I followed the recipe on What Tube.”

“You mean it’s still this delicious?”

“It looks like the chef who posted the recipe is a bit famous. Was it Kang Kang Jin?”

Taehan Kang answers with a shrug.

After a while, Kang Ho-yeon, who had said that the breakfast was too grand, emptied the rice bowl and another bowl of seaweed soup before putting down the spoon.

“Huh.”

Yoo Se-ah yawned loudly and received a cup of cold water from the water purifier.

Up until the day before, she had been lying in bed and suffering, but now she was yawning and looked extremely peaceful, like a person whose biggest concern is drowsiness.

‘Even the world looks different… … .’

The day before, she hadn’t seen Kang Tae-han go.

During the massage, she fell asleep and continued to sleep.

According to her mother, she had been sleeping for almost twelve hours. It is said that even there was no sound of pain or tossing and turning, and only the sound of breathing could be heard intermittently while lying in an upright position.

But is it because of that?

Now she was in a really good mood.

The fever had almost subsided before I went to sleep, and the aches in my body had long since disappeared as if I had washed them. Now she had no symptoms except for a slight feeling of empty stomach and hunger.

‘It was very cool… … .’

When I was getting a massage right away, pain was also pain, and the stimulation was so strong that I didn’t feel the effect properly… … .

From the time the massage was almost over, I felt comfortable enough to feel comfortable, and now that I woke up from a sigh, I felt that my body was surprisingly light.

“Se-ah, don’t just drink cold water, there’s something your mom prepared for you.”

In the meantime, Joo-ah Han, who was sitting in the living room, walked toward the kitchen and said, as if she had seen Yoo Se-ah come out.

“Like what?”

“That one in front of you.”

When Joo-ah Han pointed to the mug on the table, Se-ah Yoo glanced at the inside of the mug. Inside the cup was a dark brown liquid that seemed to say ‘It’s good for me’. It just meant looking at it.

“… Does cold water taste better?”

Yoo Se-ah expressed her honest impressions without hesitation.

“Where did you get that strange thing again?”

“Are you talking too much to your boyfriend?”

“Taehan? Taehan, why?”

“It was given to me by Taehan yesterday. It’s called oriental tea that you made yourself, or something.”

“that… okay?”

“After taking a sip, I realized that even though sincerity was involved, it was not unusual. Seriously, if you find out that you haven’t had a drink, Taehan-san will be very sad.”

When Yoo Se-ah showed a look of embarrassment, Han Joo-ah added a word as if driving a wedge.

Yoo Se-ah carefully examines the mug again.

After hearing that, I looked at it again, and somehow it seemed different. Do you feel sincerity? Even the mild scent of medicinal herbs was not bad.

“You can drink it, if you drink it… … .”

She put down the cold water she was holding and raised the mug pretending to be invincible. I didn’t know it when I saw the color, but when I smelled the scent up close, it seemed to be better than I thought.

“Well?”

Sip so carefully.

However, after tasting it once, her eyes widened, and she tilted the tea again to check the taste.

A bittersweet aroma that spreads softly in your mouth.

It definitely tasted as she expected, but… Somehow I didn’t like the taste. As adults often say, it is a feeling that is well received by the body.

Besides, I had only drank a sip of tea, and I felt that my body, which had been exhausted just before, was filled with energy and warmed up. Even though it was lukewarm tea that had already been cooled down.

“Whoa.”

Yoo Se-ah empties the cup in an instant and puts it down.

I couldn’t find anywhere to see him trying to drink cold water before.

“Look at him. Your boyfriend made it, so you just empty it right away?”

“… Oh no. It’s just because it’s delicious.”

When Han Joo-ah, who was watching from the side, said with an absurd expression, Yoo Se-ah shook her hand and said. It wasn’t a lie. I ate it thinking of Kang Tae-han until the first bite, but from then on, I just drank it like it was being sucked in.

“Well, my boyfriend is a nice person.”

To Han Joo-ah, it only sounds like a flirtation.

She just made her own conclusions and nodded a couple of times.

“… Is not it?”

Even though it was a situation where I misunderstood my words… … . At the words of praise for Kang Tae-han, Se-ah Yoo pricked up her ears and showed interest as if it didn’t matter.

“He is tall and has a handsome face, but his body is also strong. He was courteous and polite, and I really liked it.”

“Whoops… You didn’t make up words without me?”

Yoo Se-ah smiled with a triumphant expression. It felt like she was proud of the person she liked.

“By the way, what would you like for lunch?”

“Well… make kimchi stew They put a lot of pork in it.”

Joo-ah Han goes into the kitchen to prepare lunch.

Seah Yoo drank another cup of oriental tea that was placed next to her and pondered carefully, then gave an answer with a light bite.

The patient who had suffered until the day before could no longer be found anywhere.

* * *

After moving from a massage shop in a jjimjilbang to your own.

A lot has changed, but basically Kang Tae-han’s daily routine hasn’t changed much. For example, after work, if possible, exercise and go home.

“Whoa.”

rattle.

Kang Tae-han put down the equipment he had been using until then and calmed down his breathing.

He is now at a fitness club that occupies the entire 21st floor of the Liner Building.

As one of the auxiliary facilities belonging to the Liner Hotel, it opened a little later than the sauna due to some problems, but the number of members was increasing day by day with good reviews.

Clean facilities and spacious spaces, panoramic views while running on a treadmill, and even a joint sauna membership that can be enjoyed together at a small additional cost… … .

‘Do you like it.’

Kang Tae-han, who compared it with the facilities he used before, smiled.

The clubs and jjimjilbangs I went to in the past weren’t bad, but… It’s a bit unreasonable to compare it with this place, and now it was a close location where you could go up and down the elevator or even the stairs in the same building.

It’s convenient and convenient, but the part that can save a lot of time. Thanks to this, the time to get home was even faster these days.

“It’s also good for the other employees… … .”

Kang Tae-han stood up from the balloon and moved away, taking a quick look around. What he is looking at is not the facility, but the faces of the guests inside.

Most of them were people I didn’t know, of course, but I could see the masseuses working at Kang Tae-han’s shop from time to time.

Morning commute class that leaves work at the same time as Kang Tae-han.

It goes without saying, but physical fitness is of utmost importance to a masseuse. But that doesn’t mean you can’t tell them to exercise.

That’s why I only said ‘I like to exercise in my spare time’ as a habit, but… Thankfully, since then, the number of masseuses like Kang Tae-han who have registered for fitness clubs and attend regularly has been increasing little by little.

“… Crazy.”

Meanwhile, Kang Tae-han was not the only one watching.

“I knew that the director had good stamina, but.”

Three masseuses gathered on a bench in the corner for a while after working out. They looked at Kang Tae-han, who had been working out just a moment ago, and each expressed a word of appreciation.

At first glance, I hung a weight that seemed to be about 100kg, and after a while, I silently exercised, and then I took a big breath and got up without incident.

I’d be surprised if someone I met at the gym was like that… Isn’t it the situation that the director has been massaging non-stop from morning until now?

Putting all that information together, we could conclude that the sight in front of us was incredibly tough.

“Did you see the back muscles move?”

“I thought I could do origami with my back.”

“… You’re going to do pull-ups this time.”

Director Kang Tae-han, who took a breath and relaxed for a while, went straight to the multi-purpose iron bar and climbed up and down the pull-up. The three people who were watching him kept silent, and thought of the same thing without saying who came first.
