Chapter 55
Juk-i lifted the cup noodles.
Dojae placed wooden chopsticks in Juk-i’s hand and showed him how to use them.
Juk-i seemed awkward at first but soon began using the chopsticks skillfully.
Slurp-.
Slurp, slurp.
“Hmph!”
Juk-i, who had a mouthful of noodles, twisted his entire body.
‘Human! What on earth did you feed me?! It’s agonizing. My tongue feels like it’s burning away. Could you possibly be planning to kill me and steal my sword? With the village chief right here?’
Juk-i writhed in agony as his tongue burned, frantically searching for water.
Then.
Dojae pulled something new out of his pocket.
It was a peach-flavored probiotic drink, said to be best when eating spicy food.
Dojae personally opened the cap and handed it over, ready to drink.
“Drink this.”
Juk-i stared at the paper carton in Dojae’s hand.
A reddish, cloudy liquid sloshed inside.
‘Is this poison this time?! You despicable bastard!’
Juk-i turned his head, searching for something drinkable.
But there was only hot water, steam rising from it.
“It’s fine, don’t worry and drink it.”
Juk-i hesitated.
Should he really drink the liquid that man gave him?
‘It doesn’t matter if I die this way or that way…’
Juk-i snatched the drink from Do-jae’s hand as if seizing it.
Then he began gulping it down.
Gulp-.
Juk-i, having drunk half the beverage.
His expression gradually brightened.
“Phew. I feel a bit better now!”
Juk-i let out a sigh.
