episode_0026

When I woke up and looked at the clock, it was 8 am.

For me, who had been waking up at 6 a.m. every morning for nearly a month to exercise, this was the first day I overslept.

The reason for oversleeping is also a hangover.

This is why it is absolutely shameful.

“Ha… It’s too late to feed Minji at 8 o’clock.”

Was there a Hetbahn?

No, even if there is Hetbahn, it would be meaningless because there is no soup.

Ugh… my head hurts.

I have no choice but to ask you to buy breakfast.

Anyway, the pain of the hangover was this strong.

I felt a little sorry when I remembered how I loudly told Minji to eat every morning when she came back as a ghost.

How much did my head hurt like it was going to break?

I’m sorry brother. Minji.

While thinking about that, I tried to get up, but I couldn’t keep my balance and fell down on the bed.

My face automatically fell into the bed.

But why?

Just at that moment, the door opened and Minji came in and I heard the sound of her nose blowing air.

It’s very similar to the sound Minji makes when she’s upset… No, that sound is definitely the sound she makes when she’s upset.

What… did I do something wrong?

“Oppa! Hurry up and eat!”

“Ugh…! I feel like my head will break!”

“There is nothing wrong with the teachings of our ancestors! This is called reverse massage!”

sure. Anyway.

I’ve been wrong so far. Minji.

So, please stop yelling.

It’s also a nuisance to the people living in the apartment complex.

“Chet… Okay, so come out now. Dahye made dried pollack soup.”

“Ugh……? Editor?”

“Yes! Come and shop early in the morning!”

“Ahh…!”

As I held my head, he slammed the door and left.

For a moment, I thought a third person was hitting my head with a baseball bat from behind.

I can’t believe you did such a bad thing to your sick brother.

I know there won’t be any soup next time…

Anyway, I took off my clothes that reeked of alcohol and put on new ones.

I never thought I would already be wearing the clothes I bought at the department store a while ago.

Phew… I have to do some laundry today.

With that in mind, I opened the door and came out.

The smell of pollack soup wafts in as soon as it comes out.

However, the smell is a little different from the pollack soup I usually make, so it feels unfamiliar.

After all, the recipe for dried pollack soup is different at each house, right?

This time, I will be able to taste recipes from other houses.

“Are you awake?”

“Uh…um…hello.”

“How do you feel? I happened to be at home so I tried it on.”

The reason I paused slightly when I saw her.

I don’t know why, but it was because she was wearing an apron.

You might wonder what’s strange about someone standing in the kitchen wearing an apron, but it’s generally rare to see people cooking while wearing an apron.

I don’t know if that’s why, but she looked cuter wearing that apron.

Now I understand why people freak out when they see someone of the opposite sex wearing an apron.

Those are clothes you wear when bewitching the opposite sex, rather than clothes you wear while cooking.

“Well…it suits you well.”

“Hehe. I wanted to hear that. Next time, I’ll show you naked.”

“Hiik.”

“It’s a joke.”

W…is this really a joke?

I really want to see it, but… if I ask to see it, I’ll get arrested for sexual harassment, right?

“Please sit down instead of standing there. You didn’t just drink yesterday, right?”

“Well… I did eat some meat.”

“Then it would be okay. Come on, Minji, sit down quickly.”

“Yes~”

“I make the rice…”

“No, no. Please sit down.”

The editor pushed me to sit down near the chair and headed towards the gas stove to make soup.

Then he scooped up a generous amount of soup with a ladle and put it on the table.

All three bowls were Minji’s special soup bowls.

No matter what I take, I will eat more than twice as much as a regular bowl of soup.

Yes… you should eat a hearty meal in the morning.

Because it’s hangover soup.

“I didn’t cook it as well as the author, but give it a try anyway.”

“Yes? Did you cook it really well? I think I can sell it at this level.”

“Hehe. Really?”

“It’s true. When have I ever lied?”

“There are a lot.”

“Kuhm…”

right.

This doesn’t work for the editor.

I lied so often…

lol…

***

“So today is a holiday?”

“Hehe, that’s right!”

The editor is happy because it is his first holiday in two weeks.

If she has a day off, of course I have a day off too.

“No. Writer, you have to write.”

“I wrote it down yesterday just in case.”

“Really? Isn’t this the reserve you wrote about in advance?”

“Oh…no.”

It can never be said that there are about 240 episodes in reserve.

The moment they find out about it, they will of course confiscate it and make you use one full day.

The most dangerous poisons for writers are not poisons like potassium cyanide or botulinum toxin.

Sloth, it’s called laziness.

If you don’t write because you have a lot of reserves, that laziness may one day prevent you from writing.

In my case, wouldn’t I try to take two days off from yesterday and today?

“Hmm… Well, there’s no way the author would have accumulated reserves.”

“Hmm… But you’re still publishing the series faithfully, right?”

“Well… That’s right. Did you see the views today?”

“No?”

“It’s already 7 million on the main platform alone. I think it will be huge if we turn it around soon.”

Already 7 million?

Hey… it’s only been about a month since it was published, but it got 7 million views?

The growth rate is really amazing…

Even if you calculate it at around 70 won per piece, it is 490 million won.

Well, I have to exclude those who are serialized for free.

Still, if we assume half of that, it comes out to 245 million won, right?

Because the ratio with management is 7:3… 170 million won?!

You earned that much in one month?

“Just by simple calculation, you earn 33 times my salary.”

“Ha…haha…”

“Today is Thursday, so the payment will probably be made. When it comes to taxes… will it come in at around 164 million won?”

“It’s huge.”

“Hehe. Today is my payday too, and I will be receiving a large bonus. If our writer does well, I too will make a lot of money, so please work hard.”

“That’s natural.”

For the sake of the editor, I would even write a series for a day…

No, the series has gone too far.

I sent the editor home who said he would even wash the dishes.

You even cooked hangover soup for me, but I would be so sorry if you had to wash the dishes as well.

And I’m thinking of going to the supermarket today.

I have to go grocery shopping, and I liked the whiskey I tasted yesterday, so I want to buy a few bottles.

What I drank yesterday was a whiskey called Glenfiddich.

From what I’ve heard, I heard that all whiskeys labeled “Glen” are made in the same region.

“So, does that mean other alcohol is okay too…”

However, although I have heard of Glenfiddich, I have never heard of any other alcohol with glen attached to it.

Even if they are made in the same region, is there a difference in popularity and taste?

Because wine is no different…

“Alcohol… Now that I think about it, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to include it in a web novel.”

During a department dinner, a male senior I had feelings for kept giving me alcohol, so I kept drinking.

As a result, you become completely drunk and can’t control your body properly.

The senior is thinking of taking the main character to a motel, saying he will take her home…

however! Here, the male protagonist comes out and comes to the store where they are having a dinner, saying that he is his real brother and taking him home personally!

“Ugh… I got stuck in a rut, but it’s not bad.”

In fact, it’s more fun because it’s stuck in a rut.

There is a reason why we use it a lot.

*

The closest large supermarket to my house is Costco.

I don’t know if it’s because Costco is a foreign company, but they say they’re famous for selling expensive alcohol without foam.

Well, it doesn’t seem like there is any bubble when you see watches like Rolex being sold at low prices.

However, in the case of alcohol, isn’t it bound to be expensive in Korea because it is taxed twice?

Even taking that into account, you’re saying it’s cheap…

“Hmm… I don’t know anything.”

Even though I came here and looked around, I couldn’t understand anything.

It’s not like I have any knowledge.

Should I buy all the expensive ones first?

It is said that alcohol has no expiration date as long as you keep the lid closed, so drink it slowly.

“First of all… I bought this for Kirkland for 40 years… I also have 22 years.”

The difference is only about 18 years, but the price is 10 times higher.

And since it wouldn’t be a good idea to buy only those that are too expensive, I bought a mix of things that were reasonably small in number.

“McAllan also contains this…Balvenny also contains this…Hibiki, Yamazaki?”

This is a Japanese name.

I tried to take one by one, but it seems they are out of stock.

It’s a shame.

I thought it was Japanese whiskey so I wanted to try it.

I’ll try looking for it online later.

These days, it is possible to buy whiskey online.

Wasn’t it originally meant to be only traditional liquor?

It’s great because it seems to get more convenient as you go.

“I only bought this much whiskey… I guess I should buy some more now.”

I heard that if you go to Costco, you have to buy a whole chicken in the oven for 6,000 won.

But where is it?

I put the whole chicken in the oven and everything I wanted to buy into the cart and came to the checkout.

How much will it take?

“Um…guest?”

“Yes?”

“At Costco, you cannot use anything other than a Hyundai card. And please present your membership card first.”

“….What is a membership card?”

It’s my first time coming to Costco so I don’t know about that.

I think it’s fucked up
