Although the conversation was interesting and tempting, I think it would be a huge sin to do something else about such delicious food and let it get cold!

​

Because this body’s mouth is small and its eating speed is very slow, it gnaws hard at the food.

​

​

“Ah, try it.”

​

“?”

​

​

What does this imply?

Isn’t the act of opening the mouth and putting food in it only done between lovers?

​

Still, the person who buys food is king.

I opened my mouth as wide as possible.

​

A stick-like long, orange piece of fried food entered my mouth.

The outside was crunchy enough to whet your appetite, and inside, salty yet yellow cheese stretched out along the bite.

​

I clenched my mouth and sucked it in, but it grew endlessly.

​

It was sweet… yet salty.

​

​

“Bite. Still, since I bought it, I should try at least one bite.”

​

“You can buy it again~”

​

​

I nodded vigorously and agreed with Arin’s words.

​

​

“He can’t eat all of it anyway. Just looking at it, it looks like you won’t be able to eat much and have leftovers.”

​

​

Wisdom’s words were met with ridicule.

That’s ridiculous!

​

Even though I had half of my burger left and only 3 potatoes, I was still hungry.

The only way to give up this food is when you get sick of it, but in that case, it was so delicious that it would never be served again, so there was no future for leaving it behind.

​

​

“Hmph! That’s ridiculous! There’s no way I’m leaving food this delicious!”

​

“Want to bet?”

​

​

It was funny to see him confidently placing a bet with an expression that already predicted victory.

​

​

“This guy… What do you do with a bet with a kid? I teach good things.”

​

“We need to teach them that food should be eaten in moderation.”

​

​

Arin looked at her with a slightly pitiful look and scolded her, but Jihye did not give in and continued to express her intention to continue this bet.

Whatever the lesson, the playful smile on his lips did not seem as persuasive as his words.

​

​

“But I have nothing to give you.”

​

​

But what can I do, I am the most common beggar among beggars who do not have a single penny!

It has just been given to the guardian!

There is nothing valuable enough to bet on.

​

​

“I have nothing!”

​

​

Then, as if she had expected it, Ji-hye confidently put her hand into her pocket and took out a notebook and pen.

How can you be so confident?

I’m such a serious building owner that I’m sure I don’t have anything of value.

​

​

“Now, write it.”

​

​

I looked blankly at Jihye, who gave me a notebook and pen and tried to call me something.

Are you really writing it?

​

I was holding a pen larger than my hand and just looking at her, and Jihye looked at me for a moment and then took the pen again.

​

​

“No. I’ll just write it. Now, little one, I will listen carefully to Jihye Lee when leaving food. If I make a mistake in the future, I will be punished. Don’t you agree?”

​

“That much… But I don’t crash! Do you think I’m a kid?”

​

“It’s a child. Okay, I wrote it all down. Just leave a message.”

​

​

Sometimes, don’t you think I’m such a fool? I was a little worried, but I didn’t mind as I took a sip of the cola and the sweet taste lifted my mood a notch higher.

People say that high-sugar foods and drinks ruin the brain, but honestly, the brain was screaming with joy because it loved it so much.

This sweetness will make your brain explode!

​

​

“I already drank it all. Should I order more Zero Cola?”

​

“Okay~ I’ll just order one more.”

​

​

omg.

It was my mistake to think that the cola I was drinking was ruining my brain.

It was zero.

I drank the cola eagerly, feeling my brain tingle with energy.

​

It will need to be injected periodically from now on.

​

This is fuel for my heart.

It is a sin to only eat vegetarian foods that please the body.

​

​

​

​

“Geeh… I’m full…”

​

​

I ended up looking down on my body.

Not in a good sense, but in a bad sense… .

​

I overlooked it.

The fact that this small body had much less capacity than we thought…

​

Due to excessive overeating, my body was refusing to push in any more, and in fact, the bet was meaningless, telling me to listen carefully to what the landlord said, so I could just leave the food.

For some reason, something was blocking me, whether it was my pride that I couldn’t understand and couldn’t lose.

​

​

[Desire to win]

It is a special trait among the strengths of your choice.

You, who cannot tolerate your own shortcomings or accept defeat, will hone your talents and make them shine.

There is no limit to your talent as long as you don’t give up.

But sometimes I get stubborn in areas where I don’t need to be.

Thoughts at the time: What is the life of a talented person like?

​

You’re being stubborn in areas that really don’t need to be.

Me at the time.

​

Have you ever wondered what the life of a talented person is like?

A life where you risk your life for such a simple bet and push the hamburger back and forth until your stomach explodes and you feel like you’re going to die.

That’s your choice…

​

​

“Who… eats it…”

​

​

The few remaining burgers and fries told me that this meal would soon be over, but at the same time, my stomach also told me that it was over.

In the end, I secretly mixed my french fries with the french fries that had been spilled on Arin’s side, and while touching the hamburger that was missing, I appealed for someone to eat it.

​

​

“You said you couldn’t eat it all, right? From now on, eat as little as you can? Don’t eat a bite of this or that.”

​

​

That’s true, and I had nothing to say because I lost, so I just ate it all and pretended to suck on the coke I didn’t have.

​

So, after we finished eating and cleaning up the remaining traces, we headed somewhere again.

​

​

​

​

Gororong

​

​

“I’m home.”

​

​

I didn’t want to open my heavy eyes again, so I whined for no reason.

Then, with a feeling of floating, I was held in someone’s arms.

​

It felt warm and okay, so I closed my eyes and went back to sleep…

​

omg.

What am I doing?

​

Isn’t this the behavior of a child?

In my sleep, I couldn’t overcome the instincts of my young body and ended up acting foolish.

​

Raise your head and look at the situation…

​

Sigh

​

​

“Kep…”

​

“Evil!”

​

​

As I covered my head with tears streaming down my face from the intense pain that felt like the top of my head was going to break, I saw someone holding me tightly and kneeling down.

​

I asked because the behavior seemed very suspicious and strange.

​

​

“What are you doing?”

​

“Keuuuu… It’s all over… Then… I’ll be scolded…”

​

​

Ah, wisdom.

As I put on my hat and lowered my head, my mind wasn’t yet clear, so I couldn’t recognize him.

Did Arin go home?

​

​

“I’m fine.”

​

“Divided… Isn’t it okay…”

​

​

While waiting for Jihye to be relieved of her pain, I looked at the surrounding scenery.

​

It seemed like it hadn’t been that long since I’d fallen asleep earlier, but the surroundings were still bright and people were walking around, and sometimes people were seen walking their dogs.

​

As I was waving my hand and saying hello, I realized too late that the person walking the dog was a bio bot. The bio bot seemed to be happy with my small favor and waved hello to me.

​

I tried to lower my hand, but I thought it would feel like discrimination, so I waved my hand vigorously.

​

The huge dog also tried to run towards us with its huge tongue hanging out, but the bio-bot that was taking it for a walk pulled on the leash with all its might and repeatedly shouted “No!” at the dog.

​

The large dog with golden fur, who had an impressive smile, sat down on the floor with a sullen expression and lowered his head to the floor.

​

The snout was covered with something like a cover.

​

It appears that the trait of feeling intimacy is not an ability exclusive to birds.

​

The big dog seemed to want to run this way even though it was looking at the person who appeared to be its owner. Although the dog and I had never met each other, it seemed happy to see it and wiggled its butt as if it would have run this way if it weren’t for the owner.

​

I turned my attention away from my friendly, friendly neighbor and took a look at the house I was going to live in in the future.

​

It’s blurry now, but it looks like an American house I’ve seen before.

Aren’t most houses in Korea apartments?

​

It was wide and clean, and the white road had a pretty and neat feel, like a Japanese road or village.

​

There was a pretty lawn between the gaps in the beige fence, and it looked like someone’s dream home, spacious and cozy.

​

The garden was planted with pretty trees that appeared to be ornamental, and there were also some unknown plants along the fence that gave off a unique scent.

​

At the center of this beautiful garden was a large swimming pool.

​

What was surprising was that this spacious house also seemed to have a separate garage attached to it.

​

Is wisdom rich?

​

For some reason, I was so excited that I ran around and looked closely at my neighbor’s house, and it seemed to be just as big.

However, it looked different from Wisdom’s house, but when I looked around, none of the houses were the same and each had their own individuality.

​

But then I heard a strange noise from somewhere.

​

Buuu

​

It was a strange sound.

The sound of something moving quickly.

​

Flying at a height higher than my height, it was carrying a package that was held tightly in place by clamps.

It flew slowly, crossed the fence, and with a thud sound, its slow speed went somewhere and quickly rose up and headed somewhere.

​

As it went higher and higher, my head also turned higher and higher. To my surprise, there was a huge flying object flying in the sky, and the flying object was full of so many holes that it felt like a beehive flying around.

​

The same things as before came out of the hole and went back in again and again.

​

​

“Wow.”

​

​

Everything here was amazing.

​

While I was looking here and there out of curiosity, Jihye was doing something by taking out an unknown baggage from the car and going in and out of the garden diligently.

​

I couldn’t stay still and was wandering around the house looking around. Instead of telling me to go inside, I was given permission to stay where I could see and not go anywhere if I wanted to look.

So, as I suppressed my curiosity and watched the moving bucket applying paint to the road, I had the feeling that someone was watching me closely from across the street.

​

The woman who was looking at me blankly with slightly messy hair seemed to be quite old, but unlike her hair, the clothes she was wearing were polite and quite luxurious, making her look like a woman from a wealthy family.

​

However, the visible behavior did not appear that way, so it looked somewhat unnatural.

​

Even from afar, you could tell at a glance that the woman seemed to be having trouble finding her composure, her eyes were a little drooped, and her hair was unkempt, making her look messy.

​

The woman looked towards me and spoke with a trembling voice.

​

​

“Hye…Hyerin!”

​

​

Who is Hyerin?

I looked around to see if there was anyone else around, but the only people there were the cylindrical robot dragging its wheels and applying paint to the road, Jihye, who had briefly disappeared into the garden, and me, who was looking at it.

​

The woman was walking this way little by little without looking away, but her appearance was precarious and she was not paying attention to her surroundings, which made the viewer feel uneasy.

​

I could hardly see any cars passing by here, but I still had to look around to see if any cars were coming or not as I crossed the road.

​

When the woman passed halfway down the road, the paint robot stopped what it was doing and came towards me, dragging its wheels vigorously, blocking my path.

​

Then it made a strange noise.

​

[warning. The subject suffers from a mental illness. Kim Mi-jin, please step aside.]

​

[Today, AM 10:35, missing entity. High-risk dementia patients with a history of threatening others. Check location. This is the 4th time the guardian’s mismanagement has been detected. Facility admission is highly recommended.]

​

[Protected object. Age assumed to be under 10 years old. Detection of approach of dangerous object.]

​

The lady walked here without paying any attention.

​

[Request for support. Request support. I repeat. 12 nearby biobots detected.]

​

I was watching with my mouth open, completely unable to understand what was going on. Then, a good-looking man who had been walking a large dog earlier came running here with the dog, and large men and pretty-looking women came near me for no reason. I was wandering around.

​

They pretended to be natural and appeared to be doing their own thing.

​

A warm-looking man was smiling and gently holding the woman’s wrist, trying to persuade her. While doing so, he pushed his body between me and the woman, so I couldn’t see the woman.

​

Before I knew it, Jihye had quietly come next to me, wrapped her arms around me and looked at the lady.

​

​

“No. It was just my daughter Hyerin!”

​

“Oh my, old man. Hyerin is at school now.”

​

“Are you Hyerin? Is it time to be at school now?”

​

“Yes, old man. Don’t you know that I’m Hye-rin’s friend Ye-eun’s father?”

​

“Ye-eun… You had a friend…”

​

“Of course, old man. How popular is Hyerin with her friends? It will soon be time to finish school, so you should go home quickly.”

​

“Elderly? Who? I am not an old man!”

​

“Ah, Hyerin’s mother. Hyerin told her mom at home earlier that she was hungry. There is no chaos right now.”

​

“Are you Hyerin..? But why can’t I remember..? But who are you to know that?”

​

“You called me earlier. Mom, come quickly. Hyerin’s mother, this is the father of Hyerin’s friend Yeeun. Hahaha!”

​

“Oh my, nice to meet you. I’ve been a bit distracted these days… ”

​

​

Then he walked away little by little, taking the lady with him.

​

What happened in an instant was resolved in an instant.

At this moment, the atmosphere was somewhat similar to the Korea I knew.

​

​

“How far away is this lady from here… How on earth did she get here?”

​

​

Jihye spoke as if she knew that woman.

I asked who that lady was, but Jihye didn’t actually answer the question.

​

“If you see that lady, be careful. Was it next to the can like before? I don’t think something like this will happen in the future, but you never know.”

​

As I entered the house, holding her hand tightly, I looked back toward the woman who was no longer visible.

​

Why do you think I’ll see you again?

​
