Chapter 91: Pork cutlet pork soup

The cabin in the mountains is a bit lonely.

Its owner only stays for a short while, escaping the hustle and bustle of the city,

so the more secluded it is, the more they like it.

But for the caretaker—the cabin keeper who lives here—the solitude becomes too familiar, and sometimes they long for people.

The nearest village is quite a distance, too far to go without a car.

Their job is to manage the cabin.

Most people agree that dealing with people is the most difficult part.

But as they say, the hardest thing is finding the right balance.

If you live too isolated from society, you start to miss people.

And so, a guest came to visit the couple who were longing for people.

It was a rare visitor.

Their loneliness transformed into the best kind of hospitality, which was conveyed to the guests.

“You must be uncomfortable sleeping in your going-out clothes. I’ve brought some comfortable clothes for you to wear.”

The two of them swear they had no intention of staying at the cabin.

They hadn’t even prepared toiletries or a change of clothes.

Fortunately, the cabin had toiletries available, and the cabin caretaker provided clothes, but…

“This feels like I’m abusing the clothes.”

“We’re just guys here, let’s just sleep naked. So what.”

Woo-seung, who was relatively tall, could wear them, but Lee-joon was too tall and bulky to borrow the cabin caretaker’s clothes.

“Then I’ll crank up the heating.”

“Thank you.”

And so, Lee-joon ended up sleeping in his underwear.

Unaware of what kind of result that would bring…

Let’s take a look at the layout of the cabin.

In the yard, there is a golf putting green, a barbecue area perfect for grilling meat, and a detached house a little further away where the caretaker couple lives.

And then there’s the main building, where Lee-joon and Jeon Woo-seung would be staying on the first floor.

A fancy dining room where you can admire the outside scenery, and a small kitchen attached to it.

A living room where everyone can gather and chat, and a bathroom with a cypress sauna and a bathtub.

A bedroom with two beds and an attached toilet.

On the second floor, there is a mini movie theater, a bedroom with a king-size bed, a bedroom with two regular beds, and each bedroom has its own bathroom.

The caretaker couple had a strong sense of duty that guests should stay in the main building, not the detached house.

They naively thought that it would be okay since the living spaces would be separated if they didn’t go up to the second floor.

In the end, the four people who had been drinking together ended up sleeping under the same roof.

And nothing happened that night!

They didn’t take any drugs, so what kind of accident would happen just from drinking a little?

And then dawn.

Like a dog meeting its owner after a long time, the cabin caretaker was very excited to meet guests after a long time.

He ended up showing excessive kindness to the unexpected overnight guests, Lee-joon and Jeon Woo-seung.

“We have a cypress sauna and a bathtub, why don’t you enjoy a bath?”

The cabin caretaker was a person with a strong sense of duty.

Even during the period when the owner’s family didn’t come to the cabin, he didn’t use the facilities in the main building carelessly.

Even though the previous owner was a very good person, and would have just brushed it off if the caretaker couple had used the main building, thinking, ‘It could happen.’

What does that mean?

It means that the cabin’s facilities are just sitting there unused for more than 330 days out of the year.

Honestly, it’s a waste!

And then, a guest arrived!

The cabin caretaker’s instinct couldn’t help but recommend the sauna.

“But it’s someone else’s cabin, and we don’t have any clothes to change into.”

The two of them didn’t bring any luggage because they didn’t plan on staying.

How uncomfortable would it be to put on the underwear you took off after washing?

You wouldn’t feel the reward of washing.

“I knew you’d say that, so I bought you underwear to change into.”

“Huh? At this hour?”

“I went to the convenience store early in the morning.”

The two didn’t know, but there was no village or convenience store nearby, so he had to drive quite a distance to get there.

The cabin caretaker was that serious about the sauna.

“If you’ve gone that far…”

It would be rude to refuse any further.

The two were semi-forced to take a bath.

The bathroom, like the dining room, had a view through a full-length glass window!

It was a design possible only in a cabin in the mountains, where there are no people, villages, or roads around.

If you built such a full-length glass window bathroom in the city, you would only be showing off your naked body to the neighbors.

They lightly washed their bodies, warmed themselves in the sauna.

Sprinkled water again and entered the bathtub.

The two enjoyed the full sauna course in a refreshing way.

“Don’t look over here.”

“I wouldn’t even if you asked me to.”

A cypress bathtub that would be perfect for a couple to use.

It was a bit narrow for two grown men to get in.

It was especially awkward to sit facing each other.

“A mountain cabin, it’s more wonderful than I thought?”

“If I could come with my family, it would be really great.”

It was chilly and rainy, so they couldn’t enjoy the outdoor barbecue area or the golf putting green.

But it seemed pretty good to be able to put in the facilities you want when building a cabin.

He had made a lot of money, but Jeon Woo-seung was stuck on the question, so what am I going to do with it?

The thought that a cabin might be a good idea was planted in his head.

Not a castle-like luxury mansion, but a small cabin like this.

‘A beach cabin good for fishing or swimming wouldn’t be bad either.’

Maybe Seol-ah’s father has a beach cabin too.

Woo-seung was falling into a reasonable suspicion.

“Are these guys really rich?”

He remembered the conversation they had yesterday at the drinking party.

Kim was just a driver temporarily borrowed from her father, and the children didn’t have their own exclusive drivers.

So, they’re not that rich.

…Isn’t having an exclusive driver for your father already rich?

The concept of a cabin caretaker is also very unfamiliar.

They don’t just outsource it to a company, but they just have a couple live there?

“Are they so rich that their genes are good?”

Lee-joon didn’t mention which part of the genes he was talking about, but Woo-seung understood perfectly.

At that point, he’s really curious about who their mother is.

How can two sisters look like that?

And they’re both different types of beauties, which makes him even more curious about their mother.

“Shall we wash up and get out of here?”

When Lee-joon stood up to get out of the bathtub,

Clunk.

Suddenly the bathroom door opened.

“Eueh?”

A girl’s voice, losing strength.

“Eua!?”

A young man’s scream-like sound of panic.

Bang!

The door closed again, but the large young man had lost something precious.

This also seems absurd at first glance, but it was actually fate that occurred due to the overlapping of numerous coincidences.

First, sunlight shone through the full-length glass window, so they didn’t turn on the bathroom light.

So it was hard to know that there was someone inside.

Second, Seol-ah entered the bathroom without taking off her clothes, thinking of filling the bathtub with water first.

Because it takes a very long time to fill such a large bathtub.

So she didn’t see the pile of men’s clothes in the corner of the dressing room.

Third, Seol-ah didn’t know that these two were at the cabin in the first place.

As a result of her drunken blackout, she forgot that they had decided to stay overnight because it was raining too much.

So she thought that only Seol-yoon and herself were in the main building.

Explanation over.

“S, sorry!”

Apologize and run away.

“Ahem.”

As long as it’s not me!

Woo-seung was struggling with a level 99 challenge of holding back laughter.

And Lee-joon froze at an event that was in the top 5 most embarrassing things in his life.

“Come to think of it, shouldn’t we have locked the bathroom door?”

“Hyung came in last.”

“Tsk.”

It turns out that he was the culprit!

No, maybe an accomplice.

---

There are things in the world that you should never ask, even if you want to.

For example, the question that the two people who met Seol-ah for the first time yesterday wanted to ask so much was about ‘disguise.’

Was everything you showed during the drinking broadcast calculated?

How did you make the non-existent breasts?

You shouldn’t say these things out loud, even if you’re curious.

And today too.

How can you be so careless as to open the bathroom door when there are two people inside?

Shouldn’t you have noticed by the clothes left in the dressing room or the warmth coming from the bathroom, of course!

If you ask like that, the atmosphere seems like it can’t be salvaged, so the three kept silent.

And only Seol-yoon, who was watching them, had a ‘?’ on her face.

Their breakfast menu was none other than clear codfish soup, which was in season.

It’s hard to eat if the codfish isn’t fresh, because it’s fishy, but they brought it packaged from a famous restaurant from early in the morning.

‘Their tastes aren’t like ordinary girls.’

Considering the passion of the caretaker couple, they wouldn’t have chosen a menu that the two of them disliked.

Then this clear codfish soup is a high-end dish that these two would like.

No matter how you look at it, these two seem like they would be good with wood-fired pizza, rose pasta, and Instagram-worthy brunch.

Shabu-shabu and sashimi were okay, but this clear codfish soup makes them seem like complete old men…

“Do you happen to like spicy pork, tonkatsu, and pork rice soup?”

“Why all of a sudden?”

“No, just. I thought you might like it.”

“I do like it. How did you know?”

“Um…”

“She’s Surprised that unnie’s taste is like an old man’s.”

“Really?”

Smiling, with a smile more radiant than the morning sun.

Seol-ah, who seemed somehow proud.

‘Why is she proud? Did she take it as a compliment? Why?’

And Woo-seung and Joon didn’t know why she was proud.
