Chapter 245 – Chapter 245 – Happy Mother and Daughter Rice Bowl (23)

“……”

Inside the room at the Royal Hands Hotel.

Harin Joo, who was lying on the bed and looking at her phone, thought about rolling over the blanket.

“Ummm…”

[ What are you doing right now? ]

Should I send this or not?

10 seconds and 20 seconds.

She finally put her finger on her send button, and finally, with a weak sigh, she pressed her screen hard to erase her message.

‘What are you doing now?’, ‘Have you had lunch?’, ‘Is the cafe going well?’, Etc.

Several words lingered in my head.

However, I’m not sure which one to choose.

Silently thinking about it, she just typed in two simple words, ‘Mohae?’ And pressed her send button.

[Me: Mohae? ] ( One )

“……”

A message to Jinhyun.

After exchanging her contact information, Harin Joo sent Jinhyeon a text message every day.

The joy of meeting a childhood friend after a long time, the hope that we won’t lose contact now, and… A bit of nostalgia for the old days.

It was a little disappointing that there was almost no pre-talk from Jinhyeon, but the reply was always quick.

Let’s just stare at the number 1, as expected. A reply came soon.

Belt ring-

[Jinhyun: I’m going to have lunch now]

“Have you eaten yet?”

It’s already past 2 o’clock.
Harin Joo quickly typed in the answer.

[Me: Now? Are you eating late? ]
[Jinhyeon: I happened to haha ​​]
[Me: haha ​​what are you going to eat? ]
[Jinhyun: Um, I haven’t decided yet……? I think I’ll probably eat Western food]

“Form……”

Did Jinhyeon like western food?

Ju Harin brought out her memories of her old days.

But, I’m not sure. Since I was so young, I couldn’t say anything about my taste in food.

I had a lot of memories of eating together, but most of them were memories of buying tteokbokki or sundae at snack bars or stalls.

It was a hobby and there was nothing to do.

[Me: form? Pizza or Pasta? ]
[Jinhyuni: ㅇㅇ]
[Me: Who are you eating with? ]

Oh

Harin Joo slightly regretted sending the message.

“Did you send it for nothing…?”

It seemed unnecessary to ask this question.

If you eat, you just eat, because there’s no reason to tell you who you’re eating with.

Inadvertently, I remembered the time I went to a pork belly restaurant with Min Ji-ah.

At that time, it was a bit of a long wait, but now it was revealed that the person sitting at the next table was Jinhyeon.

Apparently, Jinhyun came to eat pork belly with another woman.

She was a woman with pretty bobbed hair. I definitely remember.

Since I had seen her at the cafe, it seemed certain that she was a part-time worker at the cafe run by Jinhyun.

However, she seemed too friendly to be a normal part-time job and her boss.

Even when she first saw it, she doubted it, maybe she is Jinhyuni’s girlfriend, and she might even have lunch with her today……

“……”

When I thought about that, I didn’t feel very good for some reason. Harin quietly waited for Jinhyun’s message.

[Jinhyuni: Eating with a friend haha]

“Ah.”

With my friends.
Seeing Jinhyeon’s answer, the corner of Harin’s mouth went up slightly without her knowledge.

[Me: Aha. ]
[Jinhyun: Why? ]
[Me: It’s nothing. Eat delicious lunch! ]

Harin Joo quickly sent a reply message. She gave an awkward answer, but it would be better than not sending it anyway.

In case she didn’t know, she quietly waited for a reply, but she didn’t reply for over a minute.

‘I think he went to eat.’

Thinking so, Harin closed her chat and turned on the Internet to surf the web with her phone.

Belt ring-

“Yes?”

By the way, when she was on the phone for about 20 minutes, she received a call from Jinhyeon again. Harin clicked her notification button and checked Jinhyun’s message.

[Jin Hyun Yi: (Photo)]
[Jin Hyun Yi: (Photo)]
[Jin Hyun Yi: (Photo)]

Three pictures flew in via Talk.

When I clicked, they were pictures of food.

Pasta, Pizza, Salad…

‘Did it be taken in a store?’

When she saw the pictures, which looked so delicious, she drool even though she had just eaten lunch.

Juharin knocked on her screen.

[Me: What is it haha ​​boasting about food? ]
[Jinhyeon: No, he seems to be curious about what he eats hehe]
[Jin Hyun Yi: (Photo)]
[Jin Hyun Yi: (Photo)]
[Jin Hyun Yi: (Photo)……]

Jinhyun sent a few more pictures.

Photos of the inside of the store along with photos of the food. And there was also a picture of Jinhyun sitting at the table as if someone had taken it from the other side.

Harin Joo admired the last photo of Jinhyun.

‘Ah.’

It came out well. Anyone can see

Taking pictures of him smiling at an oblique angle seemed to highlight Jinhyun’s already handsome face.

Harin Joo looked at the photo quietly. Then, something passed through her mind.

‘Oh, but didn’t you say you were eating with a friend?’

Harin Joo looked at the photo again. She said that she came out well, but she said that usually when men go together, they don’t take pictures like this…

Looking at the picture, she wondered if a woman had taken it.

Harin Ju zoomed in and looked at other food photos this time.

“Ugh, I can’t see…”

It seems like it doesn’t.

When I zoomed in on the food photo, I could barely see the person sitting in the chair across from me.

Juharin stared at the photo. However, she was so close-knit that I couldn’t recognize who she was in the end.

“Whoa.”

She sighed and replied normally.

[Me: Where is the restaurant? ]
[Jinhyuni: It’s a restaurant called Good Pasta, but it’s a good restaurant around here]
[Me: Good pasta? ]
[Jinhyun: ㅇㅇ It’s very delicious. Can I buy one for you when you move in? ]

Uh?
Buy it?

Juharin’s eyes widened at the unexpected words.

[Me: Really? ]
[Jinhyuni: ㅇㅇ]
[Me: Capture this? ]

Harin Joo talked like that and really captured the chat room.

[Me: (Photo)]

When I sent the captured photo, Jinhyun replied right away.

[Jinhyuni: Hey lol Harin, you’re coming, so I can’t buy you this much]

Harin is you.

“……”

I don’t know why, but Joo Harin felt her heart beat slightly at Jinhyun’s words.

[Me: Even if I eat a lot? ]
[Jinhyuni: ㅇㅇ]
[I: Even if you order the whole menu? ]
[Jinhyuni: ㅇㅇ]
[Jinhyuni: But why don’t you just run a whole store?]
[Me:haha]
[Jinhyuni: Even if it’s not here, if you want something, I’ll buy it for you]

Jinhyun clicked.

[Jinhyuni: If you live near us, you can hang out together like in the past. ]

Like the old days

“Ah……”

At Jinhyeon’s words, Harin recalled the times she used to play with him back in the day.

Around elementary school, when I had no friends.

Come to think of it, when she was young, she was really weak.

At that time, there were many kids who tried to bully her because she was the daughter of a wealthy family or because she was unlucky, but she was passive, so she couldn’t cope well.

She had been hurt a lot by her bullying, which was not a big deal, for playing puns and not playing.

So she stayed alone, sobbing and praying…

At that time, the only boy who approached me was Jinhyun.

She didn’t cry as much after Jinhyuni ​​came by her side. Because he stopped all the other bullies.

She didn’t play with the group, but it was nice.

Jinhyeon also got out of the other group for his own sake and always played by her side. She also became close with his cousin, Eun-joo, and the three of them hung out a lot.

Looking back, wouldn’t that be the happiest time?

[Jinhyuni: Huh? ]
[Me: Yes, okay. ]

Harin deliberately answered plainly.

As she fell out with Jinhyeon and lost contact with him, she gradually drifted away from him, but since she meets him again like fate and chats with him every day, it seems that time goes backwards again.

Harin excitedly shared her chat with Jinhyeon.

Then, after about five minutes, she came to her senses at his words.

[ Jinhyeon: Hey, but let’s talk again later. I have to eat ]
[Me: Oh right; Sorry…… ㅠ ]

She replied vaguely.
