In the kitchen, dishes are being prepared one by one.
A level that is one level higher than Seonghun’s cooking skills, which can be called manly cooking.
They are now.
It was being made by the thick hands of a man who was extremely blunt.
“Wow, this is so cool… … .”
Ruina, who was spying on the kitchen situation from behind Team Leader Lee Tae-seok, had no choice but to blurt out the raw thoughts that came to her mind.
“Because we used ingredients and medicinal herbs that have warm energy that is good for body aches, handlers can eat it without any worries.”
Finally, Taeseok turned off the gas stove that had been boiling a large pot and looked back at Ruina.
“Hey, hey. Where did you learn this, Team Leader?”
“Let’s call it experience.”
Taeseok adjusted his sunglasses once and answered briefly.
“You don’t even look that old… … .”
Ruina frowned slightly.
With almost half of his face covered like that, she couldn’t guess Taeseok’s age.
“What, but thank you for your hard work, Team Leader. It’s Sunday, and you even came to my house to cook for me.”
“I just did what I had to do.”
“Do you think helping us is also work?”
“Because for me, meeting you face to face is part of the job.”
“Haa. I thought he was a little more human, but he’s still a boring old man.”
“Then let’s go back slowly.”
“Are you leaving already? Why don’t we eat together before we go?”
The wall clock in the living room was just past nine thirty.
It was a perfect time to have breakfast.
But Taeseok only bowed his head slightly to Ruina.
“I’ll just accept your heart. It’s not like a boring old man can interrupt your holiday.”
“Okay, okay. I won’t force you.”
[Is this guy mad because I call him an old man… … .]
Ruina thought, pouting.
“Then.”
Taeseok moved his body silently toward the front door.
“I hope the handler gets better soon.”
“Ah. Wait a minute.”
Just as he was about to open the front door, Ruina suddenly stopped him.
Taeseok turned his head and looked at her carrying the luggage on her back.
“Thank you so much, Team Leader.”
“You are too kind.”
Towards Ruina, who smiled brightly and expressed her gratitude.
Taeseok lowered his sunglasses slightly and responded with a calm but still sharp smile.
* * *
A calm and quiet yet strangely noisy feeling.
[Cooking… …. People who have… ….]
[I… … made the porridge myself… … .]
[Is this guy mad because I call him an old man… … .]
In the midst of those feelings, Ruina’s voice could be heard here and there like an echo.
But who is the old man whose voice we can clearly hear at the end talking about…?
“Ugh. Did you fall asleep in the meantime… … .”
After I opened my eyes wide.
He picked up something that was on top of his head with his hand.
“Towel… … ?”
A slightly damp towel was placed on my forehead.
It must have been Ruina who put it there while I was unconscious.
“Come to think of it, Ruina is… … . Cough! Cough!”
I barely managed to raise my pounding head.
The clock on the bedside table was already pointing to 1:00 PM.
“You said you were passed out for more than half a day… … ?”
Definitely just for a very short time.
It felt like I had my eyes closed for about 3 minutes.
It looks like you’ve really fallen into a serious trap.
“Honey? Are you awake…?”
While I was measuring the hot temperature on my forehead with my hand.
Ruina’s worried face peeked through the slightly open door.
“Ah, yeah… … . Sorry. I must have fallen asleep without realizing it.”
“No, no! You need to get some rest!”
Ruina comes in and sticks her head out towards me like a puppy.
I stroked her hair and smiled weakly.
“Our Ruina is still the same.”
“Hehehe… . Honey. Can I have some food?”
“Rice…? If I eat it, I can eat it… … .”
Basic side dishes are probably in the fridge.
But the problem was that I didn’t prepare dinner in advance last night.
Anyway, I’ll be getting a big paycheck soon.
Do we have no choice but to splurge a little here?
“Then, Ruina. Order some delivery food… … .”
“Wait a minute, honey!”
Before I could even finish speaking.
Ruina ran out of the room like a lively border collie.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I’ve always wondered what dog Ruina resembled, and it turns out it was a border collie.
“Is that so important, Jo Seong-hoon… … .”
Because my mind is hazy, I feel like all these useless thoughts are creeping into my head.
In the meantime.
A series of rustling sounds could be heard outside the room.
I can’t believe it, but I was passed out.
Did Ruina prepare the meal?
“Theoretically it’s possible, but… … .”
As is her destructive power.
My ability was also a case where it would activate just by touching something, regardless of whether I was awake or asleep.
So, if Ruina could just make firm contact with my hand within the time limit, she could cook rice just like everyone else.
“But Ruina can’t cook… … .”
But the fundamental problem was still that.
It was the confession that Ruina had personally told me last time while looking gloomy.
So what on earth is my girlfriend doing?
The question was soon answered by Ruina, who re-entered the room.
“That’s… …?”
“A special lunch just for you! Hehe.”
What Ruina, smiling broadly, was holding in both hands was a portable table.
And on top of that were dishes I’m sure I’ve never made.
“This is chicken soup with glutinous rice and chopped green onions. This is bean sprout soup. This is pickled ginger. And this is… … .”
“Okay, wait. Wait a minute, Ruina… . What is all this… … ?”
I quickly raised my hand and interrupted her explanation.
First of all, I know that they are all good foods for colds.
There are even dishes of considerable quality, such as Dak-Baek-Suk.
Honestly, I feel sorry for her, but I just can’t believe that Ruina made these.
“Ruina?”
“Ahaha~ Should I say my cooking skills suddenly flashed?”
Ruina twisted her body and turned her head slightly.
Anyone can tell that he’s hiding a secret.
“Ruina… … ?”
“Sorry. Actually, I didn’t do it.”
When I called her again, lowering my voice by half a tone, she quickly clasped her hands together and nodded.
“Did a magpie come by while I was sleeping?”
“He’s more of a husband than a wife… … .”
“Nam… side?”
“That, that, you’re sick, so I wanted to feed you a meal I made myself… … . But I can’t cook… … . So the team leader helped you while you were sleeping… … .”
“Team Leader Lee Tae-seok… … ?”
“Yeah… Team Leader Lee Tae-seok.”
The face of a blunt man suddenly appears in my hazy mind.
And I looked down at the sumptuous meal he had prepared.
I remember those sharp eyes again.
I look down at the table again.
“Haha. Lie?”
“I was surprised too. She even wore a pink apron and started cooking in earnest.”
“What a truly unknowable person… … .”
There are many people in the world who have many different special skills, even if they are not heroes.
Team Leader Lee Tae-seok’s existence proved it.
“What, what… . Since it was a dish I made, where is it… … .”
“I also helped a little, so my taste will be in it by about 1%. Oh, no. 1 is too little, maybe 3%!”
“Haha… . Okay. Thanks, Ruina. I’ll eat well.”
“Yeah, yeah. Eat lots♡”
With Ruina’s smiling face in the background, I ate the soup of the boiled chicken that had turned white.
Hurrrup… … .
“… … … … Hot.”
The moment I took the spoon out of my mouth.
I opened my eyes wide in surprise.
Ruina, who had been looking at me from the side with a burdensome gaze, also opened her eyes wide.
“Ho, does it taste weird? Wasn’t it supposed to be left to that human? ”
“No… . No… … .”
To be honest, I was half in doubt.
That was me 10 seconds ago, thinking that the appearance would be good but the content would be nothing special.
Of course.
The premise that Team Leader Lee Tae-seok made this kind of home-style cooking is incorrect.
But that was my misjudgment.
This boiled chicken was a masterpiece.
A mild, savory flavor based on chicken broth.
Not too much or too little seasoning with the right amount of seasoning.
Plus, the subtle spiciness of herbal medicine gently lingers in your mouth.
“This is real… … .”
I felt my head spinning and moved the dishes one after another.
“I don’t know what happened, but I’m glad you’ve regained your energy hehe.”
“Have you not eaten yet?”
“Yeah, yeah. When you wake up, we’ll eat together… … .”
“Sorry. I didn’t think of you at all.”
I gently tore the chicken meat with my chopsticks and showed it to her.
“Together right now… … .”
Now that I think about it, me.
The patient is feeling under the weather.
“I’m really sorry, Ruina. I’m just thinking about myself──.”
It was when I was trying to pick up my chopsticks with an awkward smile.
Thud!
Ruina’s face rushed to the chopsticks and ate the chicken in an instant.
“Ru, Ruina!?”
“Umm… … . It’s really delicious? I guess I can use you as a chef from now on.”
“No, but I still have body aches. What if I catch it while using the same utensils?”
While continuing to worry about Ruina.
She giggled and put her index finger against my nose.
“Did you forget about it?”
“What, what…?”
“I can even destroy the body’s energy.”
“Ah… … .”
I slept for so long that I forgot about it.
My lively Border Collie girlfriend was none other than that Ruina.
I was worrying for nothing.
“What, if it’s a cold that was passed on from your own body, you might not be able to break it because it’s a pity?”
“Please look at that… … .”
It was just one joke from her that showed how deeply she loved me.
