I already felt like I was dying from a heavy headache because I couldn’t sleep well at night, but the person who made me do that was wandering around the kitchen suspiciously since early morning, so I wonder if I had a headache for a moment. Before I knew it, Tang Soso was gently rubbing his forehead with a slight frown.

“Oh, it’s nothing special, since I woke up early, I thought I’d try making breakfast.”

“···You?”

Was it unexpected and untrustworthy that a person who seemed to have no particular interest in anything other than women suddenly insisted on cooking? A gaze flew towards my face as if asking what I was doing.

I responded by slightly shrugging my shoulders.

“After all this, when I was in the mountains, I cooked and ate all three meals a day with my own hands.”

“Umm···.”

“Anyway, I was looking through the refrigerator to see if there was anything useful…”

Since I trailed off at that point, I wonder if he immediately realized why I was doing that just by my actions. Tang Soso slowly avoided my gaze.

Was it embarrassing that I found out about the refrigerator, which was virtually empty except for salads that seemed to have been ordered in bulk from some unknown store?

Well, it’s not something to be proud of.

I asked Dangsoso, who was stopping halfway down the stairs and turning his head to the side.

“So, do you want to eat it?”

“···?”

“Morning.”

“I’m done.”

“Well… if you say so.”

It seems that he thought that even if he refused, he would still offer it at least once out of courtesy, and his purple eyes, which were in a place that had nothing to do with me, turned towards me again. Thanks to that, what I got to see was a slightly bewildered look in my eyes.

Anyway, as soon as the ingredients were confirmed, I immediately started preparing the ingredients according to the recipe that came to mind. In fact, all I had to do to prepare the ingredients was to open one of the salads in the refrigerator and peel the cherry tomatoes that were inside.

It’s okay to just use it like this, but I still prefer taking it off.

That’s because if you don’t peel the skin in advance, when you eat it later, the tomato skin will feel like plastic mixed in incorrectly, which is extremely annoying. And sometimes it gets stuck between the teeth.

So, after neatly removing the skin, I started looking for a kitchen knife to cut it into bite-size pieces…

“Let’s see, Carl…”

···doesn’t exist?

I opened all the cupboards around me to check just in case, but I couldn’t find even a kitchen knife, let alone a kitchen knife.

Thanks to this, I was amazed in a different way.

No, as a student living alone, the only thing in my room was a kitchen knife. It was just big, but in reality, it was no different from a model house.

“For some reason, the conditions feel worse than when I was in the mountains.”

“···Scissors are available.”

Wow, I’m proud of this.

The words rose up in my throat, but I held them back.

Because right now I’m in sad Yoon Soo-hyun mode.

No matter what the content is, it’s trivial and since they signed a contract to become a couple, it’s impossible for them to show their trashy side every time.

Sometimes a twist is necessary.

So, when Dangsoso calmly took the scissors that he had personally found and handed over to me and used them like a knife, Dangsoso, who was glancing at me and taking a sip of water, soon walked over to the refrigerator and took out one of the salads that were lined up inside.

And then I just went to the table and sat down.

Since I have to eat breakfast anyway, does this mean that while I’m eating breakfast, I’m going to keep an eye on myself to see if I’m doing anything unnecessary?

I opened my mouth as I felt the gaze of Dangsoso, who began to inspect me.

“Don’t they look like newlyweds doing this in the kitchen?”

“···.”

“No, they weren’t newlyweds, they were newlyweds. And that was the second day.”

“···I’ve said this several times, but just because I admit you doesn’t mean we’ll become a couple right away.”

Maybe he didn’t like the fact that I kept making appeals like that? A line was drawn with a resolute voice.

Of course, I expected that kind of reaction, so I continued talking without paying any heed to it.

“Ah, that’s right. It was like that.”

“If you understand what I mean, stop doing useless things and prepare for the examㅡ”

“But it’s a test. Roughly what does it look like?”

He seemed to be dissatisfied with my sudden intrusion while he was in the middle of a conversation, and Dangsoso, who was peeking out from above the polished cupboard door, was sticking out his lips in an uncharacteristic way. Since I’m in a situation where my back is turned, I don’t think I can be seen, so I don’t seem to be doing anything to manage my facial expressions…

‘cute.’

As I watched Dang So-so acting like a girlfriend who was upset because her boyfriend didn’t listen to her, my lips became itchy for some reason.

That’s why I thought I should focus on cooking.

That’s right too

“I don’t know either. In the first place, in the case of entrance exams, it is entirely under the jurisdiction of the Senate. Therefore, there are cases where the content of the test changes from time to timeㅡ”

He was explaining things so passionately, but I couldn’t make a sound like he was going out of breath.

So I kept my ears open and started concentrating on the dish I was making… but soon the quiet voice and the sound of something bubbling began to mix exquisitely with each other.

*****

Tap, tap, tap…!

I thought to myself as I looked at the back of the man who cracked an egg that was sitting next to him in a bowl and then started to unwrap it with chopsticks.

Well… he’s an unpredictable man.

He always looks like that when he looks at a woman as if he is a toy that he can manipulate as he pleases, rather than as an equal person.

Did you feel the need to improve your image belatedly?

The man’s unexpected behavior made me think of something like that for a moment, but the possibility of him doing that is very low.

To be honest, this was inevitable because if I really wanted that, I wouldn’t have made such a fuss at night in the first place.

And more than anything… if he was doing it to improve his image, it had to feel awkward in some way, but what I felt from the man who was absorbed in cooking was not awkwardness, but familiarity and skill. He said that when he lived in the mountains, he cooked and ate all three meals a day with his own hands, but it seems that he wasn’t just saying it as a joke, but it was true.

‘by the way···.’

What on earth are you trying to make?

Even if I were given hundreds of millions of dollars to eat food prepared by a man who was still full of suspicion, I wouldn’t say anything about it, but regardless of my inner feelings, it was inevitable in human psychology that I would become curious about the menu when I saw him cooking in front of someone. .

It was even more so because the combination of ingredients the man chose was unusual.

A combination of cherry tomatoes, eggs, milk, and salad vegetables.

What on earth are you planning to make with those?

I was thinking of making something, so why bother peeling the cherry tomatoes and boiling them in water?

I wonder if it has something to do with unwrapping the eggs like that.

Yellow beaten eggs and tomatoes… Are you planning on making an omelet?

Now that I think about it, I think I ate an omelet filled with finely chopped tomatoes at a hotel in the Demonic Empire that I visited on a business trip with the group…

But the tomatoes in the omelet at that time were raw, not cooked…?

It must have been at the moment when I was munching on my salad and making my own guesses.

The man who was using chopsticks to beat an egg suddenly poured it into the pot containing the tomatoes.

‘No, what is that…?!’

That was why I reflexively jumped up.

Boiling tomatoes and eggs together?

What kind of baseless recipe is this?

It was a combination that would have shocked even the researchers on the development team, who do what they do every day after eating is to put various things in one place and try to combine them.

The man who created such a bizarre combination without even blinking an eye this time added the fish sauce included in the salad to the pot.

It was at that moment that I gave up on guessing any further.

Once addicted, the extremely vicious effect of not being able to last for 7 seconds is effective, but wouldn’t ‘Chilchosal’, which is extremely poisonous and has a reputation for being extremely tasty, be more edible than that?

‘As expected… it was a good thing I refused.’

Well, no matter what the man made in the first place, he probably wouldn’t have mentioned it.

It must have been a moment when they were congratulating themselves for safely overcoming the crisis(?).

“Haum···.”

With a yawn filled with a different kind of fatigue that was currently engulfing her body, another culprit who had kept her from sleeping last night appeared from the second floor.

“Huh?”

Then, when I saw the figure of the man occupying the middle of the kitchen, my eyes widened.

“What is this…? It’s definitely my first time trying it, but it’s really delicious…”

“Right?”

It’s delicious…?

that is···?

That can’t be possible…?

No, that’s the part. Even so, why do I get so… annoyed when I look at that ponytail?
