… … … … …

(From the robbers’ point of view) Ms. Seo-ah suddenly appeared and surprised the robber who was holding the Paru, grabbing his arm and breaking it.

Wood crack!

“Ewwh …

The moment Ms. Seo-ah grabbed the robber’s arm and twisted it, the robber’s scream was clearly heard along with the sound of bones breaking.

Another robber immediately rushed at her, but Seo-ah turned around as if she had expected it and tripped him up.

The last robber pulled out a knife. It was a vicious looking machete.

But the blade the robber was swinging didn’t even touch Seo-ah. She grabbed the wrist holding the knife and twisted it, then punched the robber in the face repeatedly. When the robber fell, Seo-ah pressed her knee against his neck.

“Wow, wow… … .”

While I was subduing the three robbers, a faint smile appeared on Seo-ah’s face as she watched the video with me. Watching her watch the video of her exploits, she seemed quite happy.

“Amazing, Seo-ah! How can you move so fast?”

“It’s the result of long training. And… …I’m also an Awakened one.”

Seo-ah nodded with a smile. There was a strange light in her eyes that I had never seen before.

Meanwhile, Ms. Seo Ah in the body cam is seen dragging the unconscious robbers to a corner of an alley.

The camera was shaking so I couldn’t see it clearly, but I thought I could faintly hear the painful groans of the horribly stricken robbers.

And at that moment, Seo-ah suddenly closed her laptop. Apparently, there was about half of the video left… …

“Okay, that’s all for the video for your understanding. Now, do you understand what my justice implementation activities are? If Ga-eul-gun becomes my assistant, he will help me with things like this.

Of course, you can rest assured that I will never put you in a dangerous place. You are… …my special assistant. ”

I nodded at her explanation. My heart raced at the sight of her subduing the bad robbers so beautifully, and I was already touched by her consideration for calling me her special assistant.

“I’ll do my best in whatever I do. Thank you for being my assistant!”

After hearing my answer, Seo-ah slowly approached me. Her eyes looked strangely deep.

Finally, she came up to me and wrapped her arms around my shoulders. The body temperature I felt for the first time was quite hot, and the hug lasted longer than I expected.

“Thank you, Autumn.”

Her soft voice rang in my ears.

“Let’s do something good together… … I think we can do something even more special with you.”

“, hehe… … yes! ”

At that moment, I felt like I had become someone special and that I could repay the favor I received from Seo-ah.

The hopeful observation that I could finally do one person’s share made me feel like I was ascending to the sky, even though I hadn’t done anything yet.

Seo-ah finally released the hug and took a step back. She looked at me with a gentle smile. I don’t know if it was the reflection of the light, but her pupils were strangely dim when she smiled.

… … … … …

As we watched Ms. Seo’s body cam footage and chatted about this and that, time passed and before we knew it, the clock was pointing to 9 PM.

Come to think of it, I hadn’t eaten anything since the pancakes. But the bigger problem was Seo-ah.

At least I ate all the layers of pancakes, but Seo-ah didn’t eat any food except for a few bites of the pancakes I recommended.

“Excuse me, Seo-ah. Have you had lunch? And dinner?”

She looked dumbfounded at my sudden question and then shook her head.

“Oh, I didn’t eat. I had a lot to worry about today… …I forgot.”

Her words made my heart ache. Could it be that I was the one who had given Seo-ah so much anxiety that she couldn’t even eat dinner?

No, it’s not ‘Is it me?’ It must be me who is the reason she skipped dinner today. When I realized the truth, I felt guilty.

“Excuse me, Seo-ah. I’m Seo-ah’s assistant… …Should I make you a simple meal?

I can’t say I’m very good at it, but at least I can make edible food.”

Then her eyes widened slightly, and she nodded with a faint smile.

“Okay, then I’ll be grateful. What kind of food would you like to make?”

“I think I need to look at some kitchen ingredients to know… …I’m going to make a dish using rice and eggs.”

“Okay. I’m looking forward to it.”

After getting permission from Seo-ah, I headed to the kitchen. Luckily, there were all the ingredients I needed in the fridge.

I chopped the onion, diced the carrot, and shredded the pork I had in the fridge. I put some oil in the frying pan and started frying the vegetables and meat.

As the appetizing aroma filled the kitchen, I saw Seo Ah standing at the kitchen entrance. Her eyes were filled with curiosity and anticipation.

“It smells good.”

To her compliment, I smiled shyly and replied.

“It’ll be done soon. Just wait a moment!”

After adding rice and seasoning, I finally poured in the egg mixture to make an omelet. I put it on a plate and drew a heart on top with ketchup, and then the omelet rice was complete.

“All done!”

“It looks delicious. Thank you, Autumn.”

When I served a large plate of omelet rice to Seo-ah, she looked puzzled.

“Is it just one plate?”

“Yes. Because I made it for you, Seo-ah.”

After hearing that, Seo-ah looked blank for a moment, then spoke in a quiet voice.

“Really? But it would be hard to eat this much by myself. To be honest, I don’t usually eat much.

The Fall Army hasn’t had dinner yet, right? How about we eat together? ”

Although I was a little flustered because I wasn’t hungry yet, perhaps because I ate the pancakes Seo-ah had made for me earlier, it was difficult to refuse her kind offer.

“Ah, yes… … Is that okay?”

“Of course. Okay, sit here.”

Seo Ah nodded, the corners of her lips gently curling up. I could sense the triumph hidden behind her smile.

She pulled out the chair next to her and made room for her. The seat was so close that she could feel Seo-ah’s body heat.

Seo-ah picked up a spoon, scooped up some omelet rice, and handed it to me. I could see her hand, which was holding the spoon tightly, trembling slightly as if she was about to hit someone.

“… … Okay, eat first. I wonder if it tastes good.”

I made food for her, and before I knew it, I was feeding her food. After hesitating for a moment, I took a bite of the omelet rice she handed me.

“How are you?”

Seo-ah’s eyes stared intently at my lips. Her eyes sparkled with anticipation.

“It’s delicious. I think it’s better made than I thought.”

“I see. Then where should I… … .”

She used the spoon she had just put in my mouth to scoop up a spoonful of omelet rice and put it in her mouth. I felt a sense of shame that was hard to express at the unexpected indirect kiss.

“It’s really delicious. Is it because Gaeul-kun made it?”

“Ah, that, that… … .”

Seo-ah seemed to enjoy my flustered appearance. Her eyes widened slightly.

“What’s wrong, Autumn? Your face is red?”

“Oh, it’s nothing.”

We took turns eating the omelet rice from the same plate. It was a little embarrassing, actually quite embarrassing, but we got used to it and somehow managed to finish the meal.

After finishing the meal and about to wash the dishes, Seo-ah suddenly spoke with a blank expression on her face.

“But, Gaeul-kun. Do you cook like this for other people, by any chance?”

There was something ominous in her voice, which seemed to be an octave lower than usual. What should I say? It felt like tension, as if something important was going to be decided based on my answer.

Seo-ah’s fingers moved slightly on the table. Her eyes were staring at me intently, as if trying to see into my mind.

Her words brought back memories from before. I never had the chance to cook for President Haneul or Teacher Wolhee, and I only cooked for Seoyeon very rarely, but for some reason, she wanted to cook for me.

In summary, the only time I made toast for Seoyeon was recently. And the toast I made for her the morning before she left was just toasted bread, so it couldn’t even be called cooking.

“No, nothing in particular. Why is that?”

Upon hearing the answer, Seo Ah’s expression brightened for a moment and then quickly regained its composure.

“Ah… … Really? That’s good. Gaeul-kun’s cooking is so special… … .”

She stopped talking and looked at me. Her pupils were pitch black, sucking in all the light.

“Because it was so good that I didn’t want to show it to anyone else.”

Ah, I see. Now I understand what Miss Seo-ah meant. She was praising my cooking skills in a polite manner.

Perhaps because he was a very cultured person, even the way he praised others was so indirect that it was difficult to understand.
