“Sir, I’m hungry. ”

As I buried myself in my soft bed, I gained a very powerful power. An invincible ability to solve whatever I needed just by saying it.

“Oh! That, that’s right!! Lina, could you prepare something simple for me to eat?”

Has this old man lost his touch? What confidence does he have to leave the omakase to Lina? Of course, it’s not that Lina can’t cook, but I have my own taste.

“Except for the meat. It’s just canned meat that’s salty and tasteless anyway.”

I boldly requested that no meat be served. It was winter, so fresh meat was out of the question and all we had was canned goods of unknown age.

“Should I ask for an omelet instead?”

Well, eggs… that’s not so bad.

Since it’s made with powder, it’s not as good as the original, but it’s still better than not having anything at all.

“Excluding bell peppers.”

“Did you hear…? Lina, can I ask you a favor?”

“Okay, brother.”

Lina’s voice, full of complaints, was heard.

I guess she didn’t like the fact that I had to go back into the kitchen because of one word.

So what? I’m hungry.

According to Mr. Cheon Deuk’s examination, there didn’t seem to be any major problems with my back. It was just a big shock that temporarily made it difficult to move.

In order to heal quickly, I was prescribed bed rest to minimize the strain on my back.

Mr. Cheon Deuk’s prescription gave me omnipotent powers. Now I could control the men in the shelter, including the old man, as I pleased.

With a loud thud, a makeshift table was lifted onto the bed I was lying on. Even without me having to get up, the bed moved on its own to raise me up.

It’s comfortable, I don’t have to go to the dining table. Even if my back gets better, I’ll just leave it like this…

Anyway, Hyeji, that idiot is good at this kind of thing.

“Here.”

“Thank you, Lina!”

The old man received the food from Lina and carefully carried it over as if it were some kind of souvenir, then placed it on my table.

He must have been so careful to bring it that there was no trace of the soup in the bowl it was in.

An omelet with a bright red heart engraved on it, slightly dented. When cut in half, it looked like it would reveal fried rice with fluffy grains.

I wanted to eat quickly, but moving myself was too much. I just stared down at the food Lina had worked so hard to make.

“Why aren’t you eating…”

In response to the old man’s question, I just glanced at him. One spoon, one man, one omelet, one man.

“…”

“I’m hungry.”

“You can’t move your arms…?”

“My back hurts.”

That’s what I answered to the old man. What the old man said wasn’t wrong, but what I said was true. Every time I move my arms, I can’t help but strain my lower back and it hurts. What can I do?

“Ugh…”

The groaning old man finally took the spoon for me. The omelet split in half, and the golden egg liquid inside began to dye the rice that had been hidden there yellow.

“Ah.”

As soon as I saw the old man take a bite of rice, I opened my mouth.

◦I’ll put in %◦.”

“Um…!”

I didn’t really think much of it, but the amount was bigger than I thought. Was my bite really that small? The amount I ate was so much that my cheeks puffed up without me realizing it.

As I was groaning with the spoon in my mouth, the man put force on the spoon and pulled it out.

It was a little embarrassing, but a string was hanging between the spoon and my lips. The old man’s eyes grew wide, as if he hadn’t expected this to happen, and the hanging string snapped and fell onto his leg.

“Uh…”

While the old man was flustered, I quickly started to process the food in my mouth while moving my lips.

“Oh my gosh, that’s too much! Is there anything you can do to kill someone? What do you want me to do if you put that much in?”

I swallowed it quickly to complain, and I ended up coughing without realizing it. Anyway, there was no major problem in receiving the complaint.

“Oh, sorry. It looked so delicious, I didn’t think about you and just did it by my standards…”

Hey, old man, is that something that would come out of a person’s mouth right now?

“I won’t run away anyway. I can do it little by little at my own pace.”

“Sorry, sorry.”

I spoke with a frustrated heart, and the old man scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.

Well, I decided to just let it go because I was sorry and I was the one holding the handle anyway, so I didn’t want to say anything more.

“How does it taste, is it edible?”

“It’s a little sticky, but I like it. The taste isn’t bad either.”

The man put about half of the amount he had scooped out on his spoon and held it out to my mouth again. After confirming that the proper amount had been served, I opened my mouth and bit into the spoon the man was holding.

Lina didn’t like the turn of events that much.

The fact that Do-hoon returned late due to Hye-ji’s antics, along with the fact that that vixen-like woman had been following him around since he left for work, and that that vixen was in Do-hoon’s arms when he finally returned, made Lina extremely jealous.

‘Funny girl, you don’t really care about me after all this? Are we not like I think we are?’

Lina felt that every word and action of Danhwa was nothing more than a deception directed at her. Not only did he deny it, but he also blocked her from approaching him, and he didn’t even sleep in the same room.

Whenever you talk to Do-Hoon, don’t you subtly restrain yourself?

If it weren’t for the request of Do-hoon, Lina’s first love, I wouldn’t have even prepared food for that damn fox.

‘I wish I could starve to death.’

“Here.”

Despite her true feelings, Lina faithfully prepared the meal and handed it over to Do-hoon.

“Thank you, Lina!”

Lina’s heart, which had been burning with jealousy until just now, was instantly calmed by Do-hoon’s words. Lina’s heart was filled with the smile that Do-hoon had just given her.

“No… Why this much hihihi…”

While I was curling up in shame, Do-hoon disappeared through the gap in the door. The jealousy that had melted away like snow just a moment ago began to grow in size again as soon as the sun that was Do-hoon disappeared.

As much as Lina hated Dan-hwa for his foxy behavior, she also hated herself for easily becoming jealous of Dan-hwa’s provocations.

They say that a true wife will remain unshaken by all the sabotage of a concubine and will maintain her position. Why can’t I do even one of those easy things…

Just hearing your voice and smile makes me so happy…

Lina, who had become desperate to see Do-hoon disappear through the crack in the door, unconsciously pressed her face against the tightly closed door.

and…

‘I’ll put it in.’

‘Howp.’

‘Wow!!’

‘Keep!’

“???????”

What is this noise? You’re eating? Why would you hear something like that?

Lina was confused. Then the spoon hit the bowl and made a clanking sound, but to Lina it sounded like smoke.

‘There’s too much sheep! If you put that much in…!’

“Sigh…!”

Lina was so surprised that she almost let out a noise without realizing it that she put both hands to her mouth.

‘It’s sticky, but it’s okay…’

Lina began to feel dizzy. This vixen bitch… How dare she… Lina felt a murderous feeling welling up inside her.

If I had a knife in my hand right now, I might have run to open the door and stab that vixen in the chest.

‘I told you that we have no relationship. But, in this situation, with all this… doesn’t that mean we’ve seen everything there is to see…?’

‘How did you… No, that b*tch must have forced you into this. Since you’re a good person, you have no choice but to go along with what that vixen b*tch wants.’

Ododok and Lina’s nails could not withstand the pressure of the teeth clenching and broke off with a final sound.

The clanking sound of the spoon continued to disturb Lina’s ears as she panicked. Lina, who did not want to accept reality, began to tell herself that it was her mistake in order to escape from her current situation.

It might be a sound like that while eating. That foxy bitch has a hurt back. The kind older brother is feeding her the food I prepared for her instead…

As she was sorting out her dizzying thoughts, the door opened and Do-hoon appeared in front of Lina.

“Ah…”

“They said it was delicious. Lina’s omelet.”

Do-hoon was saying something, but Lina couldn’t hear him at all. That was because there was a long wet mark left on Do-hoon’s thigh.

“Yes…”

Lina didn’t know what she was saying in response to what he said. She just said it unconsciously because she couldn’t help but respond to what Do-hoon said to her.

And Lina saw Danhwa leaning against the bed beyond Dohoon. The corners of Danhwa’s mouth slightly went up as he looked at her with a haughty expression.

‘It was delicious.’

Danhwa’s lips twitched. Although he didn’t say anything, Lina could tell what Danhwa had said just by looking at the shape of his lips.

‘That vixen bitch…’
