Kekeke, Hamshik, you idiot. You probably think I’m hiding your almonds with sincerity.

But I still remember that Hamshik has been stealing my food. So I’m going to steal Hamshik’s almonds too.

If you hide it under the flooring together and figure out the locations, and then Hamshik secretly takes it out and eats it, he’ll be bewildered, thinking, “I clearly hid it there, so why isn’t it there?”

I don’t eat that much either, so even though Hamshik ate half and then ate the other half, I never really felt hungry.

Still, considering how embarrassed I was when he came and put his mouth in while I was eating when I wasn’t used to it, this was justified revenge.

Oh, wait. Can’t I just eat it now without thinking about it later?

So it was time to eat dinner now, but I wanted to tease Hamsik, so I stopped moving the almonds and put one in my mouth.

Ododok. The fun sensation of the nuts cracking open and the savory aroma spread through my mouth.

As soon as Hamshik, who had good ears, heard that sound, he quickly turned his head and looked at me. I was nervous, wondering how Hamshik would react.

Hamshik, who was staring at me eating almonds, took out an almond he had hidden in his bowl and ate it up in the same way as me.

It’s as if to show that this is how you eat almonds.

What? Aren’t you angry? When it comes to food, aren’t you the type of person who says what’s mine is mine and what’s yours is mine? Do you just eat together because it’s there?

I see. It seems like he didn’t really have a concept of ownership, so he just took what was mine and ate it. Now I finally understand Hamshik’s behavioral principle.

If it’s something that’s not in your nature, you can’t teach it to a Hamshik who can’t communicate. Can’t you help it?

Rather, since it was a good ham dish, I didn’t eat it all and saved some for myself.

For me, who doesn’t normally eat a lot of food, eating ham like that didn’t have any effect other than making me feel better.

A difference in perspective can change a person’s heart in such a big way.

Hamshik left half of the food! That and, Hamshik ate half of the food! That.

That’s why a positive mindset is important. Well, I’ve never been hungry because of the ham diet, so from now on, I’ll just have to think, “Our ham diet is good.”

The only time Hamshik’s gluttony became a problem was when we were put in a box and thrown away. What if he ate all that food?

“Okay, it’s all warmed up. Let’s eat.”

“Wow!”

But since I live with Narin and I get a subsidy, I don’t have to worry about starving. There’s no need to stop me from eating.

As I thought about it, the times we were abandoned came flooding back to me vividly.

Well, it’s not like I’m sad or miss it or anything. I know that I had no choice but to throw it away. Narin said the same thing.

Rather, I think it’s fortunate that I was able to meet Narin like this without having to undergo euthanasia. I don’t want to die either.

I just wonder how difficult the situation must have been for them to abandon us.

“Narin-i, sister. Is the person we abandoned doing well?”

But, it’s true that I’m worried, because he’s the one who protected us in difficult times.

I asked Narin, who had brought Hamshik and me to the table, if she had any information since she had also received a letter.

Narin looked startled and surprised. Perhaps from a human perspective, it was like a dog worrying about the person who abandoned the pet?

Narin thought for a moment and then answered.

“Hmm, it looks like things are going very well for you. I hope the person who raised you before is doing well, Na-min?”

“There was only one person who was kind to us. Hmm, but I hope everyone gets along well. That way, I think the other mice and birds will get along well too.”

“Namin is an angel… … .”

“Hehehe, I’m just saying that if we all become happy together, no one will be left out. And if you’re a bad person, I’d say you should get scolded.”

Anyway, I understand that the man who abandoned us had his own reasons for doing so.

Didn’t you even send a letter to Narin with almonds enclosed? If you were really sick of us and threw us away, you wouldn’t have done that.

Of course, even if that old man asks Narin to take us back later, we won’t go.

He’s a nice guy, but he doesn’t even talk to us. Narin is much better than that guy, right?

While we were talking, Hamshik lifted the lid of the lunchbox that Narin had warmed up. Then he grabbed a handful of rice and screamed.

“Keeek!”

“Ahaha, it’ll be hot because I just put it in the microwave. Just wait a minute, I’ll cool it down.”

Narin, who had a gloomy expression the whole time she was talking to me, laughed at Hamshik’s antics. It wasn’t like she was being funny on purpose, but she seemed to have been surprised by the heat while trying to eat her food in a hurry, but anyway.

Once Hamshik was hot, he was very wary of the lunch box. His hands must have been quite hot, and I felt bad for him because he kept holding it, so I decided to bring the cold water cup that Narin had placed and give it to Hamshik.

“Hamshik-ah, come here. You touched something hot, so touch something cold. Then you’ll feel better.”

Hamshik quietly touched the cup as I guided his hand. I thought he was startled by the coldness, but soon he got used to it and clung to the cup.

As if that wasn’t enough, Hamshik suddenly starts licking the cup. Is it because the cup is transparent that the lunch box on the other side looks delicious?

Or maybe because the cup is cold, the lunch box that is visible through it thinks it is cold.

But I can’t just leave it alone. This is the cup that Narin drinks water from.

If a child touches a cup covered in hamshik, how uncomfortable it would be. So I grabbed the hamshik and shouted.

“Eww, Hamshik! You can’t eat the cup!”

But I couldn’t stop Hamshik. I’m strong enough to be able to move things that are heavier and bigger than me, but Hamshik, whose hand was burned, had to touch something cold.

I don’t think he was seriously hurt because he only touched the steaming hot rice for a moment. But even so, it would be a shame to take your hand off the steaming hot rice.

Fortunately, Narin just watched Hamshik do that with a smile.

“It’s okay. I’m not even licking the mouth area. That’s not even an indirect kiss, right?”

“Well, that’s true. Hamshik, I think it’s fortunate that Na-rin is kind.”

“More than that… …. Namin-ah, don’t you miss your family by any chance?”

Then Narin asked a question that clearly had been on her mind up until now.

Family. I don’t really remember my family in this life, so I think we probably separated a long time ago, so I don’t really remember them.

It was true that I honestly missed my family from my previous life. The world was too big to search for my mother and father with just three letters of their names.

If you want to find the two people who are somewhere in this big world, you’ll need to get help from a place like the local government office. Where in the world these days would you find a place that provides personal information to a third party?

Even though I don’t know much about the world because I’ve been fighting cancer, I know that much.

It would have been okay if I had at least remembered their phone number. I could have tried to contact them first and said, “I am the son of the two people who were reincarnated.”

All I remember now is that I had memorized my mother and father’s contact information in my past life.

So all I can do is wish you two happiness. There’s nothing else I can do.

“I want to see you, but I don’t think there’s a way to contact you. I just hope Mom and Dad are doing well.”

“Yeah… … .”

“And now, Na-rin has become my family, right? So, I’m okay with seeing her every day!”

Instead, since I won’t be able to see you two, I’ll be happy if I can spend time with Narin.

“I’m so happy to see you and Na-min every day. Come on, Ham-shik. It won’t be hot anymore.”

Narin, who had been stirring the rice while blowing cold air into it, pushed the cooled lunchbox forward to Hamshik.

You don’t even let your food cool down, you just eat it. Narin is a very strong person who can eat hot food well.

“Keeek!”

But Hamshik screamed again. He didn’t eat the rice that had finally cooled down and instead touched the meat.

You thought the rice was hot, so you started eating other things first. You idiot. I think you’ll eat it if I show you how to eat first.

“Okay, Hamshik-ah. This is rice. If you eat it one grain at a time, your mouth won’t burn. Ugh, this is sticky and doesn’t come off easily… … .”
