Minah and Arin.

A meeting of two people.

What I was most worried about was Mina’s rejection.

Until now, my daughter was clearly wary of me meeting other women.

It’s because of his ex-wife who abandoned him.

Memories of the mother who abandoned him.

Fear that the new mother may also abandon her.

Maybe that’s why.

But looking at my daughter Minah’s reaction now, it doesn’t seem like there’s much of a problem.

Bright and cheerful as always.

“What would stir-fried pork taste like if my dad didn’t make it?”

My daughter is happy clinging to my arm.

I felt a little uneasy, but I guess it was just my mood.

I entered the kitchen.

Arin was holding something connected to butane gas.

“Arin, is that…?”

When I looked slightly surprised, Arin smiled slightly.

“It’s a torch.”

When Arin manipulated the thing on the butane gas, a strong flame came out from there.

“Since you cannot use a strong wok at home, this is how you can create a burning taste.”

Chii Iik.

When the strong flame from the torch touches the well-fried stir-fried pork, it makes a delicious sound and is coated with the taste of fire.

gulp.

My mouth naturally came out.

“Professional.”

“If you live alone for a long time, you start to put more effort into even cooking a meal.”

Arin doesn’t pay attention to me and just focuses on adding a fiery flavor to the stir-fried pork.

That made her look even more beautiful to me.

If I had simply tried to impress myself, I would have been a little disappointed.

I looked at Mina.

The daughter was watching Arin cooking with concentration.

okay. My daughter also enjoyed seeing Arin like that.

Sigh!

Arin poured stir-fried pork into a large bowl that had been prepared in advance.

Knock knock knock.

Sesame.

Tuk-tuk.

pepper.

Joo Wook.

And finish with sesame oil.

“Ta-da! Arin’s special stir-fried pork is ready!”

Minah and I went straight there.

On a white bowl plate, stir-fried pork presented a beautiful appearance thanks to the power of sesame oil.

The savory smell of pork fat and sesame oil combined with the red pepper paste sauce in my nose made me want to eat it right away.

“Hmm…it’s a little different from Dad’s stir-fried pork…”

For Mina, comparing it to my stir-fried pork seems to be more important than the taste.

“Dad, does this stir-fried pork look more delicious? Especially this scent…what is it?”

“It’s ginger.”

“Ginger?”

“If you add ground ginger, you can remove the unpleasant smell that comes from pork and create a refreshing taste.”

“Now that I think about it, I only added garlic and no ginger…”

Minah immediately went to the table and picked up chopsticks.

“Sister, can I try this?”

“Yes. Of course.”

Minah picks up a piece of stir-fried pork.

And then he brought it to his mouth…

Yum.

I put the stir-fried pork in my mouth and started chewing it.

Mumbling.

Mina savors the stir-fried pork with her eyes closed.

Her face was serious.

Arin’s determination to carefully analyze the stir-fried pork made was evident.

‘Could it be…are they doing this to say that the stir-fried pork is not tasty?’

I felt worried for a moment.

okay.

I heard this somewhere.

The story is that she is worried about her daughter, who does not like her stepmom and finds fault with her food.

If Minah tries to reject Arin like that… what should she do?

“It’s delicious!”

Minah burst out in exclamation.

“It’s almost similar to Dad’s stir-fried pork…what can I say…yes!! The scent of ginger and fire go together so well!”

Mina looked at me with a very happy face.

“It’s much more delicious than Dad’s!”

that word.

This is what Arin and I wanted to hear.

Although she seemed to be smiling naturally, Arin was nervous.

However, I felt like the nervous part of me was relieved by Minah’s reaction.

“Oh really? thank you! This is what I really wanted to hear.”

“Is it really that delicious? Then where……”

“Dad, please do it.”

Minah picked up the stir-fried pork again with the chopsticks she was using and offered it to me.

“Thank you.”

Yum.

I put the stir-fried pork that Mina gave me into my mouth.

Why do I feel like someone is staring at me for a moment?

But I didn’t know who it was.

It felt momentarily and then disappeared.

It’s a disaster.

The fresh scent of ginger hit my mouth…and in an instant, the scent of fire entered my nose and the fat part of the well-roasted pork.

A new taste.

No, it’s more than just novelty, it’s a more delicious taste.

As a cook, I made it so well that I was jealous.

“What…? Why is it so delicious?”

“I told you about it. He’s good at cooking?”

Sigh.

Arin held the bowl filled with stir-fried pork.

“Hey, customers! The food isn’t ready yet, right? There are still some things to prepare, so please wait a little longer?”

“Your sister!”

Sigh.

My daughter grabbed my arm.

“Unni, let’s go out and prepare food, Dad!”

“Uh…yes!”

I looked at Arin.

She winked, signaling that it was okay.

“I’m looking forward to dinner being prepared automatically as I relax comfortably in the living room.”

“Thank you, sister! Come on dad, let’s go out quickly!”

Minah’s strength in pulling her arm becomes stronger.

“Is there anything I can help you with?”

“Don’t you know that men are not supposed to come into the kitchen? Please rest comfortably with Mina.”

“Look at that! dad! Let’s get out quickly. sister! Please help me!”

“Yes!”

So I went out to the living room with Minah.

“Ah…?”

“Why are you doing that?”

I felt like someone was staring at me.

But Arin behind me was smiling with half-moon shaped eyes.

It wasn’t Arin.

“No…nothing…”

“Are you worried?”

“Uh…?”

“Because the senior was still in charge of the kitchen.”

okay.

Yes.

My evenings were always devoted to preparing dinner with my daughter.

But now, for the first time at home, I’ve left dinner to someone other than my family.

“Now I will do it.”

Arin’s fastball.

A declaration of war that you will become my wife and take over the kitchen of this house.

I looked at Arin.

Her face was relaxed.

Perhaps it was because of Mina’s generous evaluation of the stir-fried pork she made.

Tension spreads from my neck.

It seemed like the house, which was a comfortable space, suddenly turned into a forest full of wild water.

I looked at Mina carefully.

“Then please, sister!”

uh?

Mina’s reaction was much softer than expected.

There was no rejection whatsoever.

It was so strange to know Minah’s personality.

But I couldn’t ask.

“Dad! Let’s rest then! My sister cooks the food!”

There was an indescribable sense of discomfort.

But I couldn’t express it.

This is because I feel it with my sixth sense and cannot explain it with my head.

“That…yeah.”

It may not be a big deal.

Because of that, I can’t continue to waste time here.

Everything is green light.

Both Arin and Minah are satisfied with the current situation.

There is nothing to worry about.

It’s just that I take it too sensitively.

“Then I’ll take a break in the living room. If there is anything I can help you with, please call me.”

“Thank you for just saying that.”

Arin laughs.

It’s a happy smile.

okay.

you can do it.

family.

wife.

And a normal family with a daughter.

I thought it would be good to dream again.

****

“Have a meal!”

Mina and I were chatting in the living room about something that happened at school, and then we ran to the kitchen when Arin called.

“Wow…!”

Minah’s eyes automatically widen.

“When… did you prepare all this?”

Of course, my mouth also got bigger.

Table for 4 people.

We prepared so much food that the place was full.

Stir-fried pork with a new flavor with the scent of ginger.

A rich soybean paste stew made with Cheongyang pepper and beef.

Napa cabbage kimchi cut neatly as if it were a restaurant menu.

Spinach and chwinamul.

Raw radish vegetables.

poached egg.

And even bean sprout soup…

It was too perfect.

I looked at Mina.

He had a similarly surprised face.

A face that looks like it has seen something wonderful.

“Now, senior, sit down.”

Arin came next to Minah and pulled out her chair.

It was clearly an action to win points for Mina.

“Now, Mina, please sit here too.”

“Thank you…”

The daughter accepts Arin’s good intentions with a slightly embarrassed face.

Still, it is not an awkward or rejection reaction.

“Senior too, come on~.”

Arin pulls out my chair.

Tuk.

Her ass touches my crotch.

It is quite an intentional action.

“Please sit down.”

Arin looks at me with a smile.

I couldn’t help but smile at the sight of my wife loving me so much.

“Wow, this is delicious!”

Arin and I, who were looking at each other, were startled by Mina’s shout.

“This is also delicious…! That’s delicious too…! Wow!”

My daughter started to exclaim in exclamation as she ate the food she had prepared.

I feel like it’s a bit overkill…

Well…it’s probably because it’s fun, right?

sat down on the chair.

Home-cooked food that I didn’t cook.

It’s been so long.

“Senior, enjoy your meal.”

Arin says with a smile.

A feeling I could never feel from my ex-wife.

love.

Steam rises from the prepared food.

Everything was made by Arin’s hands.

These are not things to be made lightly one by one.

These are foods made with sincerity.

I did not get this feeling from the meal prepared by my ex-wife.

The response was that it was a virtue to prepare meals filled with instant food.

He was enraged at the sight of him feeding it to Minah, who was born from his own body.

‘If I had connected with Arin from the beginning…’

I regretted it so much.

It was a tragedy that happened because I had no eyes for people.

But the opportunity came again.

It’s late, but I want to start again.

She is trying too.

I saw Mina.

Arin is enjoying the food she made.

family.

okay.

This is family dinner.

happy.

I wish days like this would last forever.

I picked up a spoon.

With a happy smile.

“I will eat well!”
