“… Whoa.”

The vast green plains of California, USA.

In the middle of the Mediterranean climate where warm wind blows even in October, Chae Eun-bi fixed her hair and put a sun cap on her forehead.

‘Certainly, the feeling is very different.’

The place she was standing was none other than the golf course.

Turning her head slightly, she looked around and saw that a considerable number of people had gathered in a semicircle and quietly watched her.

Although it is a regional competition, it is held regularly and has a reputation of its own, so it is a fairly well-known competition.

Maybe that’s why there were a lot of galleries watching, and the solemn atmosphere was more authentic than she thought.

Even the golfers who participated felt familiar with this atmosphere.

On the other hand, Chae Eun-bi hasn’t been back for a few months yet, and it hasn’t been long since she joined the professional league, and moreover, this was her first time participating in an overseas competition.

That’s why she couldn’t help but feel somewhat awkward and floating… … .

‘Yes, it should have this feeling.’

This unfamiliarity and tension right now, Chae Eun-bi, rather liked.

The reason why she didn’t stay in Korea in the first place and went straight to the United States was to gain experience overseas and prepare a stepping stone to advance to a bigger stage.

In other words, her ultimate goal right now is not to achieve good grades in this competition, but to experience more diverse experiences and adapt to them.

“Let’s try it.”

However, that doesn’t mean I don’t intend to hit it with the proper mindset. In any case, as long as you have participated, it is the mindset of a professional to do his best and aim for higher grades.

… and.

‘I have to tell Taehan oppa at least one good news.’

Despite participating in an unfamiliar foreign country, Eunbi Chae’s condition was in perfect condition.

Of course, various factors such as daily self-management, lifestyle, and mentality will work in combination, but the decisive cause can be said to be separate.

The massage I received from Kang Tae-han before leaving Korea.

Thanks to this, the muscles and joints were surprisingly soft and light, and the strength of the waist was elastic like a spring.

If the first massage made her injuries disappear, the second massage seemed to have tuned her body to make it easier to move.

To add a little exaggeration, it feels like legal doping.

In this condition, should it be possible to produce poor results just because it is the first overseas appearance?

Standing on the tee box, she took a moment to catch her breath, then began to adjust her posture to swing.

‘… It also brings luck.’

The breeze from the plains that had been blowing a moment ago began to die down as she got ready.

‘great.’

It is good news that the wind on the field is calming.

It feels like luck follows you. Chae Eun-bi glanced at the flagpole in the distance, and immediately swung it with a big swing.

Huong, Bang!

A ball that flies with a cheerful sound.

The ball flew towards the target in a big, neat parabola… Naturally, it landed on the green near the flagpole.

“Oh oh… Good shot.”

“If we were a little closer, we would have gone in at once, right?”

A reliable long hit that will get you a birdie next time if you don’t make a mistake. When her turn was over, applause and small exclamations erupted from the surrounding gallery.

“Thank you~”

And in the exclamation, Chae Eun-bi waved her hand to the gallery with a lively expression, and then walked out of the tee box with confident steps.

It seemed as if even the slightest bit of tension had been blown away with a shot.

“Uncle, I am here.”

“Oh, yes. Welcome.”

Kang Tae-han opens the store door and steps inside.

When he greeted him, Mr. Choi, who was sitting at the counter, also stood up and greeted him.

The place where the two met was a quiet cafe located near the entrance of Bomunsan Park, run by Mr. Choi.

“It’s a comfortable and nice store.”

“What. I’m just doing it as a hobby.”

When Kang Tae-han sat at a table near the counter and praised him, Mr. Choi waved his hand in the air as if it was nothing, but his face was smirking inwardly.

“Not empty words, really.”

Kang Tae-han, who sat down, began to look around the store slowly. It feels a bit dated, but it’s well-maintained and clean, so it doesn’t feel outdated.

Rather, it is more of an antique feel. The props placed here and there, as well as the overall calm feeling, felt that someone had taken care of it.

‘You’re a little surprised.’

Stores, especially those that have been around for a while, tend to reflect the propensity of the owner.

To be honest, I usually have a rather light impression and a strong sense of mischief, but the appearance in the store gave me the impression that a little more depth was oozing out.

“What would you like to drink?”

“Um… … .”

Kang Tae-han looked at the menu on the counter for a moment. Largely, it was divided into a coffee menu with freshly brewed coffee and a tea menu including jujube tea and ginger tea.

“I’d like a cup of citron tea, please.”

“Okay, wait a minute.”

After a while, Mr. Choi walked to the table carrying a fairly large mug. At first glance, it looked crude, but it was a glass that went well with the atmosphere of the store.

‘Well… … ?’

Kang Tae-han, who carefully took a sip, made a surprised expression. It tasted better than expected.

‘It’s better than I thought.’

In most cases, the citron tea served at cafes is simply added to the menu for the elderly who do not drink coffee.

That’s why most of the cases are too sour or too sweet or one of the two… It is a taste that continues to be enjoyed without burden to properly protect the boundary between sour and sweet tastes.

“I thought only the store was cool, but the tea is also nice.”

“ha ha ha. This guy, it’s hard to float. By the way, was the way there okay? It must have been difficult to come a long way.”

“What. It’s just the way it comes every time.”

A conversation that starts with a story about the light current situation.

After the words came and went several times, the topic naturally began to move to the main topic.

“So I thought it would be a bit wasteful for me to eat alone, so I gave out a drink only to the regulars. Have a drink.”

“So?”

“What is the response so good? If you drink a cup of this after climbing a mountain, your body will be tired! It feels like going down or something.”

Mr. Choi said with exaggerated gestures.

“Originally, regulars who stopped by occasionally began to come often, and they came every time I went to the mountain… Blue runs out faster than I thought. So I did some thinking. How about putting this on the official menu?”

If the customer’s response is good, the store owner is also excited. He smiled faintly.

“Well, that doesn’t matter to me… Isn’t it okay to sell the blue I made for money?”

However, Kang Tae-han hinted at the question he had been thinking about since he received the offer.

When arrowroot tea was first introduced at the shop, there were many people who wanted to purchase it, so I had a conversation with Hwang.

conclusion is impossible.

In order to sell food manufactured or processed by an individual, it was necessary to meet separate conditions and obtain permission.

“Yeah, Taehan can’t take what you made and sell it. However… There is nothing wrong with me making and selling things your way.”

“Have you got permission, sir?”

“right. The Qingdao I used in that citron tea is also what I soaked, so how am I going to sell it?”

I heard and saw it.

Kang Tae-han nodded slowly at his words, and Mr. Choi began to briefly explain the matter.

Unlike the full-fledged food manufacturing and processing business, the instant sale manufacturing and processing business that sells directly to consumers has gentle enough standards that even cafes can do it in parallel.

And since Mr. Choi was already dealing with homemade teas on the menu, he had obtained the permission.

“Actually, there was a report from another store before.”

“It must have been difficult.”

“That’s true, but isn’t it my fault that I started the business without knowing that? Anyway, I was warned then, and I hurriedly prepared… … .”

Mr. Choi said with an embarrassed expression, crossing his arms.

“Anyway, my plan is to make green tea with the ingredients you sent, and make tea with it and put it on the menu.”

Of course, assuming you give permission.

He added, emphasizing that it was the most important thing. At those words, Kang Tae-han thought for a moment.

‘… There is nothing that can’t be done.’

In fact, when it comes to cheong, the quality of the ingredients that go into it determines more than half of the taste. Depending on the type, the process of shredding or boiling is added, but basically it is a concept of soaking the ingredients in honey and pickling them.

Kang Tae-han didn’t use any special method, and brewing the tea was done by simply pouring the sufficiently marinated green tea into hot water.

If there is anything special… ingredients that go into it. It was a fairly good quality item from the original plate, and in the process of digging it out, Kang Tae-han’s miscellaneous energy was knocked out once in a while, so the effect was even more outstanding.

‘Nothing bad.’

In fact, Kang Tae-han’s direct dipping into the blues that go out to other places can make things complicated, no matter what it is now. To put it bluntly, it takes a bit of work.

If Mr. Choi did the process of dipping it himself, it was a story that Kang Tae-han would rather welcome. Of course, if Mr. Choi’s skill at dipping cheong is poor, that would be a problem… … .

‘You seem to be quite good at it.’

Kang Tae-han took another sip of the citron tea on the table and nodded slowly.

It definitely tastes good.

Even though pieces of yuzu came into my mouth from time to time, I could barely feel the distinctive bitter aftertaste. Maybe the taste itself will be better than when you make it yourself, Kang Tae-han vaguely thought.

‘As a result, some space in the house will be vacated.’

If the work goes satisfactorily, it would not be bad to delegate the work of soaking the blue to this side after looking at the conditions and circumstances.

“Then let’s look at the detailed conditions first.”

“OK! Sure. Wait a minute.”

To say that means that you don’t think badly. Mr. Choi got up and took a pen and paper, and Tae-han Kang put down the teacup he was holding.

“Thank you all for your hard work!”

Blind Mission, one of QBS’s signature entertainment and long-term programs. After the filming, which lasted from morning to evening, was over, the atmosphere at the scene began to become untidy, as if a tight string was loosened.

“Hey, this shoot was good too.”

“You were quite good at the chase scene earlier. Are you exercising these days?”

“Oh, that’s the basics.”

A friendly atmosphere flowed throughout.

Since we’ve been working together for a long time, it feels like conversations come and go naturally between the members and the filming staff.

“… Gosh.”

Meanwhile, Lee Han-geon, who is in charge of the program’s MC, sat down on a nearby chair. With dark eyes and a sigh coming out of his mouth, he looked quite tired at first glance.

“Brother, are you okay?”

“It’s a bit difficult.”

Maybe it’s because today’s shooting is focused on a chase mission, but I feel like I’m feeling particularly weak than usual. Lee Han-geon exhaled for a long time, as if to relieve the fatigue accumulated inside him.

“This shoot was a bit hectic.”

“I mean… … .”

Lee Han-geon raised his head slightly while arguing.

He quietly looked at the face of his younger brother Seong Dae-hoon, who was standing next to him, and asked in a questioning voice.

“But, why are you so fine?”

“Me?”

“Not only you, but also Jaehyung and Minwoo hyung. Why did everyone suddenly get so much better?”

Three people belonging to the main members of Blumion.

Originally, he had less stamina than Lee Han-geon, and Son Jae-hyung in particular was a person who complained throughout filming, but today, instead of being sick, he was completely flying around.

“It deserves it. The three of us went there.”

“there? Where is it?”

“It’s the massage parlor that Kyung-woo hyung told me about.”

In response to Lee Han-geon’s question, Seong Jae-hoon said in a tone that seemed natural.

Seong Jae-hun, who made reservations for the Cheonma Course with fellow Bmission members Son Jae-hyung and Cho Min-woo. The three of them had visited together not too long ago and received massages in order.

“There, the taste of the boss’s hand… It’s really cool.”

Sung Jae-hun burst into admiration as he recalled that time.

As if that level of expression was not enough, the way he even raised his thumbs up was a response that was truly worthy of being praised.
