101 – EP.5 Dangerous Push-3

***

＞＞Garam: Are you following your diet?

I was just about to eat chicken legs, but I got a text message from Mr. Garam.

Is it like a ghost, or where is it watching? I’m glad I didn’t make a video call though.

＞＞Inho: Yes, I ate earlier and am now going to bed.

＞＞Garam: Oh, you said you go to bed early these days.

＞＞Inho: Yes.

When I put the chicken leg in my mouth and bit it off, the juice splashed in my mouth along with the crispy batter.

Oh, this is delicious.

Some say that there is no need to try it because it is a taste everyone knows, but because it is a taste you know, you keep looking for it.

– T-ri-ri-ri

While he was trying to savor the food that maximizes the satisfaction of his senses of smell and taste, Mr. Garam seems to have something more to say.

Why bother on the phone when you can text?

After rubbing off the grease on my hands with a wet tissue, I slid the screen.

“hello?”

Since the setting was that he was just lying in bed, he answered the phone with a slightly hoarse voice.

“You didn’t disturb my sleep, did you?”

“yes I’m okay.”

So, I hope it ends soon.

“It’s ambiguous to exercise while our center is being remodeled, isn’t it?”

“Yes.”

“But you can’t take a break from exercising. Why don’t we meet and exercise like today?”

“Eh… well, that’s good.”

“Let’s start by jogging on an empty stomach in the morning. I think I can run in the Han River Park.”

The difficulty of the exercise suddenly rises. Waking up early is hard, but on an empty stomach.

“uh….”

“Ah, you haven’t been exercising properly the past few days.”

With a snort, she groans.

“Yes, yes. Then I will be in front of the house by 8 o’clock.”

Oh, the chicken is cold! Let’s finish this quickly.

Because of the savory smell of oil, saliva flowed from earlier.

– Booung

I hear the sound of a car over my phone.

“Mr. Garam, wasn’t it at home?”

“Oh, I was out because I had something to see. Because of the remodeling.”

Still, I was seriously looking for something. I was worried because I didn’t seem to be interested in it, but I’m glad I did.

“You’re busy.”

“hahahaha, that’s right. I have some work to do. Anyway, I just finished work and am going home.”

“Yes, please go in carefully.”

“Yes, see you tomorrow.”

With her polite greeting, the call ends.

The day passed similarly to yesterday.

After picking her up and jogging in Hangang Park, we went into a salad shop and had breakfast.

He said he was only jogging, but he brought a sand bag and ordered him to lunge, and his thighs pulled.

Like yesterday, I ate grass without a taste substitute, and headed to a cafe I often go to these days.

She said she was looking for a company related to remodeling, and brought a laptop she used at the center.

I didn’t have anything to do, so I skimmed through the report Hocheol had organized and read the magazines in the cafe.

For a while, she and I focused on our own work.

Of course, Mr. Garam glanced at me the whole time, but I’m glad he didn’t cling to me and rub his body.

Yesterday at the bowling alley, it was embarrassing because they were so clingy.

Still, since they politely decline, I think there is still hope given the change in behavior.

Okay, if you draw the line clearly like this, she won’t do anything strange.

I felt better when things were going the way I thought.

“I’m going to wash my hands for a while.”

Mr. Garam, who had been knocking on his laptop for a while, went to the bathroom.

I also got up from my seat for a while to stretch my stiff neck and shoulder muscles.

I didn’t realize it because I was concentrating, but it’s already been 2 hours since I entered the cafe.

When I stretched my body a little, I heard a clicking sound from every part of my body. is this getting old?

Even now, as a middle-aged person, it is difficult to move my body, but I am already afraid of how uncomfortable it will be if I become possessed by the body of an elderly person later.

No, why are you thinking of possessing it?

You can survive here and die. Come to think of it, I don’t know what would happen if I died a natural death.

Maybe the condition for this damn dimension shift to end is a natural death.

“Well….”

After all, to test a hypothesis, you have to live.

Let’s live hard.

“I… a guest.”

I stretch my back and stretch hard, but the cafe clerk talks to me.

Like yesterday, I wondered if I was doing something serious, so I quickly turned around and saw a small woman in her early twenties.

“yes?”

“That, this is a new cake. The manager told me to hand it out to the customers and ask them to evaluate it.”

In the clerk’s hand was a tray, on which was placed a piece of chocolate cake that looked very sweet.

“Ah… yes thank you.”

Looking around, the same cake was placed on each table.

I see one like this at a cafe these days.

I thought they were serving regular customers, but I’m a little embarrassed.

As he reached out to take over the tray, a hand suddenly appeared and grabbed the clerk’s arm.

“Aww!”

Mr. Garam returned before he knew it and grabbed the clerk’s arm.

The tray that fell on the item made a loud noise as it hit the floor.
