“Take it.”

    “Kkeureuk.”

    “Puhahaha, even hamsters have burps.”

    As expected, Jihyun and Hamshik took turns trimming, and when Jihyun saw that, she burst out laughing.

    Certainly, since Jjajangmyeon and Tangsuyuk are oily, the feeling of fullness is no joke. Judging from the fact that he still makes a slurping sound after eating them.

    Perhaps because he didn’t like the sight of himself being teased after trimming himself, Hamshik followed Jihyun and slammed her butt.

    Jihyun flew as high as us. But since it didn’t hurt, it was fun, Jihyun just laughed.

    Jihyun suddenly sniffles and then becomes serious.

    “Umm, guys. There’s a problem. The Jjajangmyeon smells really bad.”

    “That’s Jihyun’s stinky smell!”

    “Hey, you slut! My smell! … … Of course, it’s true that the trim smells, but I’m not talking about that kind of smell. The room is filled with the smell of Jjajangmyeon right now.”

    At those words, I sniffed. Hamshik also sniffed as if he was sniffing, but that’s just how he is.

    As Jihyun said, it wasn’t particularly unpleasant, but it did smell oily enough that we could definitely tell that we had eaten Jajangmyeon.

    I guess the smell is strong. Moreover, even though Hamshik licked the bowl clean, it still smelled bad.

    “I ate enough Jjajangmyeon to take it even if you just leave it out, but it still smells.”

    “It’s a disposable container, so you can’t just throw it away? You can take it and recycle it?”

    “Oh right, this was a disposable container. The Chinese restaurant I used to go to used to deliver the dishes in the same bowls they used in the restaurant. So I would wash the dishes and leave them outside for them to take away.”

    “Aha.”

    That’s why I said something strange earlier. I thought that delivery food would obviously use disposable containers, but it seems that the Chinese restaurant that Jihyun ordered from in the lab wasn’t like that.

    Well, since it’s a lab, they probably ordered delivery from a fancy place, right? They even heard you say “doctor.” So they probably took the fancy dishes too.

    Anyway, if this was our house, I wouldn’t know. Even though we’re family, if we were living in Narin’s house, it would be nice if the smell of the food we ate lingered.

    Narin may not have skipped lunch, but she might be upset because we ate something delicious together.

    “Then I guess I should go and separate this trash?”

    “Yeah, I was going to talk about that. And ventilate. It’s okay to ventilate and come back, but the problem is going out… … .”

    Jihyun looked at Hamshik with concern. She probably thought that if she dragged Hamshik, who was already slow, outside, it would be even more painful.

    I thought so too, so I planned to go out without eating ham.

    Meanwhile, Hamshik went into the cage and spun around on the wheel, then suddenly lay down on top of it.

    And when I saw him scratching his belly with his hind legs, I thought to myself that maybe he really had a hard time moving. My heart ached at the thought.

    What can I do? Our Hamshik doesn’t have much time left to live. All I can do is make sure he eats lots of delicious food and is as comfortable as possible.

    “Then I’ll go and separate the trash with Saekmusae. Jihyun, stay with Hamshik.”

    “Will the two of you be okay?”

    “It’s okay. It’s right in front of you. The bowl was heavy when there was food in it, but now it’s light even if you lift it all at once.”

    So, out of consideration for Hamshik, I prepared to go out with Saekmusae.

    The saxophone also knew that Hamshik was not in good condition, so it followed me silently and squeaked at Hamshik.

    “My love, I’m going to go, so don’t flirt with Jihyun!”

    “How can I flirt with a hamster! He’s a hamster and I’m a human… …, no, he’s too small to be a human, but anyway, we’re different species!”

    “You can love even if you are of different races! Hamshik even kissed me!”

    I had a brief altercation with Jihyun, but since Saekmusae was cooperative, it didn’t seem like it would be too difficult.

    But Hamshik, who had heard our story, for some reason started to crawl towards us.

    Then, Hamsik went to the center of the RC car driver’s seat and took his seat.

    Before I knew it, the seat between Jihyun and me had become Hamshik’s designated seat.

    “Hamshik, are you going to come with us? Is that okay?”

    I asked with a worried heart, but Hamsik did not answer. Hamsik’s silence soon became an affirmation.

    Of course, if you scream instead of talking, that’s a strong denial. Anyway, if Hamshik says he’ll do it, I’ll let him do it.

    Of course, unless it’s dangerous. We can’t just let Hamshik jump into the lava, right?

    In the end, as always, the four of us decided to leave the house together. It might be our last trip with Hamsik.

    Yeah, I have to stick with Hamshik like it’s my last. Maybe Hamshik wants to stay with me a little longer and that’s why he’s following me.

    But I guess it’s a bit too much for me to stay and send Jihyun away with Saekmusae. I can’t even get on a plane.

    Maybe they lack the strength I have? Or maybe they are a little different. Oh, they just got smaller, but they might be a different species than me.

    So we left the house, carrying the containers containing the jajangmyeon, tangsuyuk, and tangsuyuk sauce, and dragging the garbage bag behind us.

    The RC car has enough power to pull it. The speed is just slow, like a person walking, but the output is still sufficient.

    The sound of the trash bag being dragged was a bit loud, but it was okay because people make this much noise when they walk around.

    “Isn’t that the sound of someone dragging a corpse? … …Is there someone outside dragging a corpse?”

    It’s not okay. I was momentarily flustered when I heard a voice that sounded like it was misunderstanding something in front of a house I was passing by.

    Fortunately, I heard the front door open and a sigh of relief was breathed.

    “Phew, the trash bag was moving by itself. … … The trash bag by itself? Oh my, it’s a ghost! ”

    But he was so surprised that he slammed the door and disappeared.

    “What should I do? I tried to clear up some misunderstanding, but you disappeared right away… … .”

    “I can’t help it. Let’s separate the trash later and come back and talk.”

    What can I do? There is a priority to everything. If I delay here for too long, Hamshik’s outing time will get longer, and it will be harder for Hamshik.

    All I had to do was hurry up and separate the trash, then ask the snail to ring the doorbell later like Jihyun said and clear up the misunderstanding.

    So I took the elevator down, asked the security guard where I could find the recycling bin, and threw away the garbage bags and plastic containers one by one.

    There were supports and bags were placed at the height of a person, so if we were to separate the waste using only our own strength, we would have had to climb up there.

    Thanks to the Saekmoose, the difficulty of separating waste has become much easier. All we have to do is grab a disposable plastic container, and the Saekmoose catches us with its feet and flies away.

    “Namin’s airborne unit is dispatched! Jihyun’s airborne unit is dispatched!”

    “Hehehe, that’s right. It’s the Airborne Corps.”

    “Ugh, I can’t get used to heights. I guess it won’t hurt if I fall, though… … .”

    Although Hamshik was looking at us with eyes that said we were having a good time inside the RC car, if we lifted Hamshik like this and accidentally dropped him, it would be a big problem, so Hamshik was exempted.

    As I was separating my trash from a higher position than usual, what caught my eye was a pet house.

    Looking at that thing with the label of household waste stuck on it, I was reminded of Hamshik’s cage.

    I wonder if someone’s dog or cat that was with them had gone to heaven. As I was staring blankly because it didn’t seem like someone else’s business, the squirrel noticed my gaze and landed on the roof of the RC car and screamed.

    “It stinks in there! Hamsik would hate it.”

    “Yeah, I see. I guess he doesn’t like the smell of a big animal. Hamshik would probably like a new house more than someone else’s house.”

    Jihyun must have been watching that too, as she nodded in agreement with Saekmusae’s words and entered the RC car.

    That’s true, and I’m glad they didn’t catch me thinking about Hamshik’s cage.

    Thanks to that, I held back my tears and sat down next to Hamshik.

    “Yeah, since Hamshik said the materials for making a house would arrive today anyway. You can make it yourself with those! Hamshik is really good with his hands, so he can make something even better than that.”

    “She’s my wife after all. So we’re going to build a new house together! Wuewuewuewuewue.”

    A magpie that proudly speaks on the roof and then makes a strange laugh.

    It sounds a little weird, but I decided to just accept it because it must be a sound he makes because he feels really good.

    After finishing the recycling and returning home, Saekmusae rang the doorbell to explain to the scared neighbor.

    “Who, who are you… … ?”

    “Who am I? You don’t need to know.”

    “Ah, it’s a color blind person. Then the man next door will be embarrassed.”

    “Heeek! There’s no one here, but there’s a voice… …! It’s a ghost!”

    However, there was no sign of the misunderstanding being resolved.

    Well, what can I do? I guess we’ll just have to resolve this misunderstanding when we meet later.

    I guess I’ll have to make some Hamshik Min-ee-cheo too.
