Chapter 98
Japchae, dried yellow croaker, grilled beef short ribs, steamed abalone, various side dishes.
A neatly arranged table spread was laid out on the large six-person table.
“Come on in.”
“Hey, what are you doing? Eat up quickly. It’s super delicious!”
Do-jae hesitated, then scooped a spoonful of white rice and popped it into his mouth.
The fluffy, steaming hot rice was worlds apart from the instant rice he ate every day.
“Try this. It was brought straight from Yeonggwang this morning.”
Eun-hee’s mother placed a golden-brown dried yellow croaker on Do-jae’s plate.
Chewing the rice filling his mouth, Dojae bowed his head in thanks before carefully flaking off the fish flesh and placing it in his mouth.
Regardless of price or taste, grilled fish is something difficult for a man living alone to prepare.
The taste of the dried yellow croaker, savored for the first time in ages, was nothing short of moving.
“…Thank you. It’s truly delicious.”
Dojae spoke with sincerity.
Every single dish was made with care.
Such a hearty home-cooked meal moved Dojae.
“I wonder if I shouldn’t have invited such a busy person.”
“Not at all. Actually, I’ve been quite free lately.”
“Well, that’s a relief. Eat more, I made everything myself.”
Eun-hee’s mother moved the dishes closer to Do-jae and placed a piece of meat on her younger brother Do-young’s rice as well.
“Do-young, eat plenty too.”
