After the ice-breaking time where we asked each other how we were doing and resolved the awkwardness, the real meal time came.

​

It started off smoothly as it was as simple as grilling meat, eating, and talking.

​

Until Hazel went from the ‘eating’ stage to the ‘inhaling’ stage of meat, it seemed like just an ordinary meal.

​

The bitch who had been chatting elegantly and haha ​​just a moment ago started eating and started eating the meat frantically, as if something was bothering her.

​

“Is it because I’m pregnant…? He eats really well…”

“So… I ate a lot when I was pregnant, but it’s even worse than that~”

​

And the reactions of Mom and Dad, who watched Hazel’s binge eating from the side, also seemed unable to hide their surprise.

​

It’s not really surprising to me, since I’ve already seen him finish eight hamburgers by himself, but for someone seeing this for the first time, it’s quite surprising.

​

In addition, the way she inhaled was not at all ravenous, and she even showed a nobleness that covered her mouth with her hand when she spoke or did not even make a mumbling sound while eating hastily, so we can properly imprint Hazel’s crazy, idiotic side to our parents today. there was.

​

“Should I also use the table next to me…? The baking speed of this can’t keep up with the eating speed…?”

​

Unable to watch the meat disappear at the speed of light, Mom eventually came up with her own solution and whispered to Dad.

​

However, there was no way Hazel, whose hearing was so sensitive that she could hear me tossing and turning in bed even from the kitchen on the first floor, could not have overheard the conversation.

​

“Oh my, I ate too much. It’s so delicious, I’ll stop…”

​

Hazel must have finally come to her senses, but her chopsticks soon stopped with an embarrassed look on her face.

​

“Oh, no~ You have to eat a lot to give birth to a healthy baby~ I feel proud because I eat well. Honey, ask for charcoal on the table next to you and cook some more.”

“Uh, yes. I understand.”

​

Afterwards, at the order of Mom, who was grilling meat for the first pataro, Dad was kicked out to grill meat at the next table.

​

Hazel found herself in quite an awkward situation after seeing her father-in-law kicked out to the next table to feed her.

​

“Oh, you don’t have to do that… haha···. Now I will bake it. Please give me the tongs.”

​

It was a sight that even Hazel couldn’t just sit back and watch, so she quickly reached out to her father to take the tongs.

​

“Ah, don’t worry. If you enjoy it, that’s okay.”

“Ah…”

​

However, that touch was pleasantly dismissed, and although it is quite possible to subdue and take away by force, it is a meaningless action to show such violence.

​

In the end, Hazel had to sit blankly and watch her mom and dad put meat on the grill.

“You, don’t worry too much…! That’s how it used to be…”

I, who was just watching the scene, chimed in and helped Hazel focus on eating.

​

“Umm… This is why I feel like a boss.”

“If you have a child, you are a master and a government official~ Don’t feel pressured and eat a lot.”

​

Hazel did not hide the burden she felt and clearly revealed it, but her mother instead picked up a handful of meat and piled it on the plate in front of Hazel.

​

“You really don’t have to… Ha, I understand.”

​

Hazel, who was stopped by her mother’s pace, eventually had no choice but to pick up her chopsticks again.

​

As someone who has never seen this bitch lose in any form, even seeing this felt quite refreshing.

And if the frequency of this bitch showing this side increases, we can hope that she can at least expect to play the role of a common-sense spouse. Because I feel like it has its own kind of humanity.

.

.

Apparently, when Hazel made the appointment, she said she had something to say to my parents.

​

However, when I started eating, I was so focused on eating that I forgot about it, and my mom and dad, who were exhausted from grilling the meat, went home as soon as the meal was over.

​

Hazel had to send my parents away without even being able to say what she wanted to say, and it was only on the way to the parking lot where she parked her car that she realized the whole truth.

​

But again, he didn’t seem to be particularly regretful.

​

It was difficult to infer whether he was optimistic because he wanted to meet up and talk again next time, or if he was just in a good mood because he had filled his stomach with meat, since there was no way to know what he was trying to say in the first place.

​

“But what did you want to say…? Even though I couldn’t do it, I don’t think I regret it…”

“I forgot and then looking back, I think I was too hasty and I also had a lot of time. Above all, I think it would be better to ask the owner first.”

​

They said they would reflect my opinion in the decision, so I guess my treatment has grown rapidly into a one-time job.

​

I was amazed for a moment that my treatment had improved to this extent, but after feeling the futility of my situation where I had to admire something like this, I continued to ask Hazel questions.

​

“What is it…?”

“Um···. Ah, I want to try that.”

​

I was expecting an answer right away, but that didn’t happen as Hazel’s surroundings were suddenly pulled somewhere else.

​

Thinking that I wouldn’t be able to hear it anyway, I resigned myself and turned my eyes to where Hazel was looking, and there was a claw machine room with the door wide open to catch the tiger.

​

“Suddenly…?”

“Sometimes I saw it on the street, and everyone seemed to enjoy it. It looks fun to me too.”

​

I was so tired from the claw machine that I wanted to go home quickly, but Hazel couldn’t take her eyes off the claw machine while talking to me.

​

I happened to have some cash in my wallet, so it didn’t seem like a bad idea to finish it quickly and go home.

​

“I have cash… Let’s go while doing it.”

“Oh my, really? If you say yes, I’d be happy~”

​

Hazel’s face, which had been staring blankly at the store, began to brighten when she heard my words.

​

As I led the way into the store and Hazel followed suit, I noticed the machine with the most dolls piled up and put a 10,000 won bill into it.

​

“Try it.”

After inserting the bill, I stood sideways and started watching Hazel move her claws passionately.

​

Of course, the first one failed because the tongs could not even lift the doll. Since this was my first time doing it, it was a natural result.

​

“······Isn’t this a scam?”

​

When the tongs showed enough strength to stroke the doll rather than lift it, Hazel glared at the machine with a puzzled expression.

​

And the claw machine is a scam. I think the only person who doesn’t know this is Hazel.

​

“Is this a scam…?”

“······I see.”

​

After a moment of silence, Hazel immediately started moving the joystick because if time was delayed, the count would be lost.

​

As expected, this time too, it failed. Hazel’s expression became even darker.

​

“······I guess this is how you make money.”

“Kye, keep trying… As you do it, you get the feeling…”

​

Since ancient times, claw machines are something that if you keep playing, you will get a feel for it and your skills will improve. However, if you keep doing it, you will only end up losing money, so most people don’t keep doing it.

​

“After···. I’ll try again.”

​

Hazel seemed to have realized something as well, and this time she targeted the dolls piled high next to the exit and pressed the button to pick them up.

​

This time, the tongs were even successful in lifting the doll.

​

“Huh? I guess it’s coming out!”

​

Hazel was excited to see if the tongs had succeeded in lifting the doll, but I calmly watched the scene, knowing that even this was a torture of hope.

​

-tuk,

​

As expected, this time the doll fell into place before it reached the exit.

​

“······”

​

And Hazel was left speechless by the shocking results.

​

“Trigram, are you okay…?”

“······It’s too much, really.”

​

It seemed like Hazel couldn’t be fooled by anything in the world, but she ended up being fooled by a claw machine where you can lift a doll by putting in just 1,000 won.

​

And the resulting anger was clearly visible in Hazel’s clenched and trembling fists.

​

“Shall I try…?”

When Hazel gets angry, the number one target for her anger is me. So, it is I who have the obligation to pick that doll and give it to Hazel.

​

Moreover, when I was on a date with Baek Harin, I was the guy who was killing it with her in the lottery room for at least 30 minutes. If the placement isn’t quite as bad as it is now, you can get that doll in about three attempts.

​

“I don’t think it will work… Try it.”

​

At my suggestion, Hazel stepped aside for a moment and passed the baton to me.

​

“It’s better to flip something like that over rather than picking it out…”

​

If the doll is at the right height and attached right next to the exit, it is usually possible to turn it over and pull it out as if tumbling without having to lift it.

​

In a claw machine, the opportunity to ‘pick a prize by picking it up’ comes about once in ten, so it’s better to just count it as if it doesn’t exist.

​

“Is that so? Hmm…”

With Hazel’s eyes focused on me, instead of picking up the doll that Hazel was trying to pull out, I grabbed the end and tried to turn it over.

​

-Tak!

​

I roughly positioned myself and pressed the button, and the claw began to rotate and go down, and Hazel and I just watched with bated breath.

​

“Uh…?”

​

Soon, the doll started tumbling as its claws rose and headed towards the exit. I lowered my head, took out the doll, and handed it to Hazel.

​

“Here…”

“Oh my…. Thank you.”

Only then did Hazel smile brightly again and hug the doll I handed her.

​

The doll was a Pikachu doll about the size of a tablet PC, but with the big Hazel hugging it, it looked as small as a keyring doll attached to a bag.

​

Seeing Hazel smiling happily while hugging such a doll without even thinking about her own size, I think it’s cute in its own way.

​

“There’s still about half left, so keep trying…”

“Oh, is that so? Hehehe. I guess I’ll have to pick that blue one this time.”

​

After seeing me succeed in drawing, Hazel moved the joystick with hope again, and only after putting in 10,000 won more money did she manage to pull out a doll.
