Chapter 205 – Homemade Drinks

“Ugh! Cold!”

I waited for Mina in the cold again. The difference was the location. At that time, it was a big road where cars came and went, but now it was in front of the gate of the demon king’s house.

“Sorry. It took a while because there was nowhere to park.”

Still, after waiting for a while, Mina appeared right away.

“Did you wait long?”

“Uh, no. I didn’t wait long.”

I shook my head while crouching down to keep my body temperature as high as possible. She saw her coming right up to her and rang her doorbell.

She looked at her like a frightened turtle and said as if Mina was sorry.

“Sorry. I thought you would go in first and wait.”

“No. I have to go in with you. You’ve been here for the first time. Nervous,”

-Yes, who are you?

While talking, I heard the demon king’s voice from the doorbell.

“Oh, Sohee. We are here!”

After notifying us of our arrival, I continued what I was saying to Minah.

“I’m going to be nervous, but I have to go in with you. Is not it?”

-Hmm?

“I told Mina. Could you open our door? It’s cold.”

-For a moment.

Clap!

-Then I’ll call Sehee.

After that, the demon king’s voice could not be heard over the intercom.

“Shall we go in then?”

I looked at Mina from the interphone that was turned off. Seeing her standing respectfully beside her with her hands together, I held out my hand.

“Now, let’s go in.”

“Yes.”

Minah nodded her head and she took my hand.

So we held each other’s hands and entered the demon king’s house.

… Oh right. It shouldn’t be like this here

“Sorry. Your mother might see it.”

“All right.”

Immediately, the two of us let go of the hand we held. The cold wind came in between the gaps warmed by each other’s skin, adding to the feeling of sorry.

He looked at the hand she was holding and then looked up at her face and apologized.

“Sorry.”

“No.”

Mina, who was shaking her head, gently lifted the corner of her mouth and told her a joke.

“Instead, it has this kind of affectionate and immoral taste, doesn’t it?”

“What kind of affair are you talking about?”

“If someone else does it, it’s an affair, but if I do it, it’s romance.”

“Under! Yes! We are romance!”

He blew out her white breath with a blank laugh and playfully slapped Mina on her forearm. Mina also nodded her head slightly and she agreed with me.

Talking like that, we arrived at the front door. Upon knocking, a silver-haired beauty opened the door and appeared.

“Oh, hello!”

My mother, not the demon king.

“Uh, hello, mother!”

I was a little surprised, but I couldn’t help but smile when I saw the beautiful Goddess’ face.

“Yes, hello, Mr. Jiheon!”

My mother also greeted me with a smile. Soon after, she looked at Minah next to me and gave a surprised expression for a moment, then smiled again.

“Isn’t it very cold? Come on in!”

To her, her Minah bowed her head in greeting.

“Hello. Let’s call it Chae Min-ah.”

“How about saying hello inside? The wind is very cold. Ruler!”

Her mother held her door wide open as if to invite her in.

“Come on in!”

“Yes, then excuse me.”

“Jiheon, come on too!”

“Yes, Mother.”

We followed our mother’s guidance into the house. As she followed her silver hair, which was more chaotic than that of the demon king, she asked Mina, who was not acting earlier, with her mouth alone.

But are you not acting?

Yes. Since it was a personal relationship, I thought fake laughter would be bad.

Surely. It’s okay if you leave the company, but acting was unnecessary in such a private relationship.

We go into the living room, and my mother points to the sofa and says,

“Please sit down. Sohee and Sehee will come down soon.”

“Ah yes.”

I took off my coat, set it down beside me, and sat down on the sofa. Unlike me, Mina didn’t sit down and pulled her small metal case from the inside pocket of her overcoat.

“Here, Mother.”

It was a business card case. Pulling out her business card, she handed a small square piece of paper to her mother.

“My name is Chae Min-ah, the president of a company called Siegfried Tale.”

“Oh, I didn’t know you would even give me a business card.”

Receiving her business card, her mother opened her eyes slightly. She then glanced toward the master bedroom and walked toward it, she said.

“Wait. I’ll bring some too.”

It took less than a minute, and my mother returned with a small square piece of paper. Unlike Mina, she held out a pink business card and spoke in a kind but polite manner.

“Here you go. My name is Lyudmila Kim, a writer. My pen name is Mila.”

But Mina, who received her business card, frowned when she saw it.

“Are you the writer Mila?”

“Yes, do you know?”

“Yes. I’ve heard stories about the author. But I didn’t know it was Sohee’s mother.”

“Oh my, is that so? Wouldn’t that be a bad story?”

“Of course not. It is a story about excellent writing skills and beauty that rivals it.”

“What a beauty, ho ho ho ho! And I also heard some rumors about Minah.”

After saying that, her mother looked over Mina from top to bottom.

“You are taller than I heard? I was a little surprised when I first saw it.”

“Sorry.”

“What do you have to be sorry for? Isn’t the bigger the better? Ho-ho-ho!”

Mother covered her mouth with her beautiful hand and smiled classily. I somehow got the feeling that she wasn’t talking about her height.

“Sister, why are you saying that?”

“Follow me for a moment. I know when it comes.”

“Yes? Uh brother? Minah sister?”

While Min-ah and her mother were talking, Demon King and Se-hee came down the stairs. Seeing us, Se-hee widened her eyes in surprise.

“Hey, what’s going on?”

I got up from the sofa and explained on behalf of Mina and her mother, who were busy talking.

“I’m here to congratulate you on finishing your exam.”

“Yes?”

“You told me this morning. It’s the first step in life. You took the first step, of course I should congratulate you.”

Then, the demon king who brought Se-hee smiled happily and added his words.

“And, of course, alcohol to celebrate!”

“Yes? I am going to school tomorrow?”

“Who asked you to drink all night? I’ll just congratulate you and lighten it up. Come on, let’s go.”

“Where?”

The Demon King held his brother’s hand and pointed towards the kitchen.

“It is the kitchen. I got everything ready while you were in the room. All you have to do is go and have a drink.”

“Yes yes?”

The two of them went into the kitchen first, and Mother and Mina stopped talking.

“Then shall we go in too?”

“Yes. Jiheondo”

“Yes, sister.”

We all headed to the kitchen together.

“Well, come here and sit down!”

The demon king, sitting at the table, greeted us by opening a snack bag.

“Of course, Jiheon is here.”

When he said this, he chinned the seat next to him.

I sat next to the demon king as instructed, Mina and her mother were across from me, and Sehee, the main character of this drinking party, took the seat of honor.

Before taking her seat, her mother brought cold soju and beer from the refrigerator and said,

“I ordered delivery, but it hasn’t come yet, so let’s start simply with this. Are you okay, Minah?”

“Yes, good. The first drink will start with beer. Does anyone want to drink soju?”

No one objected to that. Seeing us like that, Minah opened her beer bottle and poured it into a glass that had been brought out beforehand. And she gave us one drink each.

“Take it here.”

“Ah, thank you, Minah.”

“Thank you, sister.”

“Um, thank you, thank you, whoo, Mina, eon, you?”

After passing by the demon king, who felt awkward calling Mina her older sister, she passed her drink to Sehee.

“Congratulations, Sehee.”

“Oh, thank you, sister.”

She still had a bewildered face, but when she took the glass, she smiled.

So, each person received a drink, and a bag of snacks that had been torn open was placed in the center of the table. A modest but first drinking party for Se-hee has begun.

“Then shall we toast?”

When her mother raised her cup to her own, we also raised her cup.

“Sehee’s SAT!”

“For.”

“For!”

“For!”

“Up, for?”

Se-hee hesitated for a moment, but made a toast by clinking her glasses vigorously. And before everyone drank their glasses, they left a message to Sehee.

“Sehee. Congratulations on your exam.”

“Congratulations, Sehee. I heard you had a good time.”

“Congratulations. I’ve been struggling all this time.”

“Still, it wasn’t hard because I, the older sister, helped, right?”

“Thank you, everyone.”

Sehee blushed as if she was ashamed of what we said. Then he looked at everyone at the table and thanked them.

“Mom. It must have been hard to support me, thank you.”

“I’m sorry I couldn’t take you, Mom? And I am more grateful.”

“And it’s been a while since we’ve become friends with Minah unnie, so thank you for cheering me on.”

“No. Friendship doesn’t matter how long it lasts.”

“My sister and brother too. If it wasn’t for you two, I might have been nervous and ruined it.”

“What are you thankful for?”

“You gave me a present too.”

“Puff!”

The beer he was drinking at the word “Gift” Uttered by the demon king passed over into prayer.

“Cough Cough! Hey!”

“What gift are you talking about?”

My mother couldn’t help but be curious about my reaction. Even though there was no way to tell the truth, I looked at Sehee with a tense gaze to see what kind of answer she would give.

Se-hee, who met my eyes for a moment, answered her mother with a nonchalant face.

“My sister kissed me to cheer up before leaving, and my brother gave me a drink I made myself.”

What, sleep, drink, what?

The demon king burst into laughter at the word drink.

Haha! So, did you drink well?”

“Yes. I ate it for dessert at lunchtime. However, after a while, the texture and scent fell off. So maybe, brother.”

“Uh, huh?”

“I want to eat again next time, is that okay?”

“Here, Mr. Jiheon.”

“Yes?”

“There is a drink you said you made for Sehee, right? What is its name?”

“Uh, that, yo, yogurt? Something like that.”

“Is it so? Have you eaten too?”

“Uh, ah, uh, that, that, de, you must have tried it, right?”

“Oh ho ho, why are you asking me that?”

“Ahaha, that’s right?”

“Can you give me mine next time you make it for Sehee? I want to try it too.”

“!”
