Chapter 353 – Not That Rice Cake, but That Rice Cake!
“So what kind of relationship do you want to be? With someone named Taeyeon.”
I said with a frown to the devil asking seriously.
“No, you said we were friends.”
“Was there a difference between words and actions?”
Sehee, who pointed it out, opened the lid of the ssamjang she bought at the convenience store earlier. Then, after washing the ssamjang on his thumb, he continued with his words.
“Oh my god, a friend drags me into his bed.”
“Because it’s friendly.”
“Jiheon.”
It was Mina who said this time. She discreetly knelt down on her lap and handed me wooden chopsticks.
“There are no friends between a man and a woman.”
“No, I don’t know.”
“Why don’t you know?”
The Demon King, who was the first to speak, widened his eyes.
“You have no friends, let alone the opposite sex.”
“Hey, little.”
“Haha, I joked lightly. Anyway, that’s just a story when the person in question doesn’t know the other person’s feelings.”
“There are other stories.”
Se-hee, who was receiving wooden chopsticks from Min-ah, suggested a different case.
“If one of the men and women is very ugly. Isn’t that the case with your brother?”
“Really?”
“This is what Taeyeon said. She is not my brother.”
“Hey!”
Although I protested, I had to agree. Honestly, it was because I looked so ordinary that it was too much for me to go around with Mawang, Se-hee, and Min-ah.
“…”
“…”
“…”
While I was thinking about this, Ma Wang and Mina winked at Sehee. It seemed like he was complimenting me for doing a good job with a light smile.
“Anyway, that is.”
The Demon King noticed my gaze and hurriedly changed the subject.
“Based on Jim’s eavesdropping, I realized that your relationship with Taeyeon is not just a relationship with members of the opposite sex.”
“Now you are proud to say that you were eavesdropping.”
“Yes! Did it! What’s wrong with eavesdropping!”
“What’s the problem! Everything must be a problem!”
Turn the meat over while pointing out. One side of the beef, which was well-done and browned, was exposed.
“Hmm, that sounds delicious.”
While the demon lord saw it and licked his lips, I complained to the women about the invasion of my privacy.
“No, isn’t it too much to eavesdrop? Do I have no privacy?”
“There wasn’t much to protect, what.”
“Hey?! But to some extent!”
“What is it? Strapless deals You mean? Or is it Pe?”
“I was just searching for that, hey?! How did you know that!”
“It’s not like watching porn while we’re there. While already living a porn-like life.”
“I was trying to look at my posture. And stop hacking.”
“Think about it.”
“Is there anything to think about? Stop right away.”
I said this far and turned the meat over again. Likewise, when I saw the browned noodles and the juice flowing out, I remembered something I forgot.
“Oh right! Herb salt!”
“No matter how you are, this is a bit…”
“Ah, brother!”
“I’m disappointed, Jiheon.”
“Did I just forget?!”
I hurriedly found the herb salt and sprayed it after the women who scolded me with a red flag. Then she cut the meat before she had time to return to the story.
“Okay, it’s done. Eat.”
Pushing her cut of meat to the edge of the grill, the women quickly finished it off.
“Yum yum, bake again, again.”
“As expected, the one my brother baked is the most delicious.”
“Jiheon always meets my expectations.”
“You said you were disappointed earlier? And leave mine too, please.”
The way they ate without thinking of me was disgusting, but the way they ate deliciously was so cute. I felt like I was full even if I didn’t eat.
She smiled happily and put the meat back on the fire.
“Um, hey.”
Then, the demon king picked up the last piece of meat and held it out.
“I left it to feed you.”
“Really, there is only you.”
After all, the person I loved the most was the Demon King. Touched by her heart, she ate the meat she offered.
“Mmm, delicious.”
“It’s delicious because Jim feeds it.”
“I guess so. It is so delicious.”
“It’s strange.”
Seeing us like that from the front, Sehee tilted her head.
“Strangely, the meat tastes sweet.”
At those words, Mina nodded.
“Yes that’s right. It’s not sweet enough, so I’m a little nauseous.”
“Isn’t it okay for you guys to say that?!”
Even though they are my girlfriend!
I joked around like this, but while I was grilling the meat again, I returned to the original subject.
“No, but I told you not to hack? Hey! Stop your little brother!”
“Because Jim’s family is not infringing on personal rights.”
“His personal rights infringe on my personal rights!”
“Your brother isn’t a family on paper yet.”
“That is, but!”
“Jiheon.”
“Huh?”
“Do you like Sehee’s word ‘yet’?”
“Joe, a little.”
It took a little while to do that though. Anyway, with a promise not to hack, I brought up the original story.
“I like to think of him as just a friend. Not lovers.”
“Hmm, that’s right.”
The Demon King nodded at my words. Then, with a serious face, he said what he thought of my words.
“That’s your idea.”
“Hey?!”
“No, this is not a joke. That’s your idea, not Taeyeon’s. I meant it in that sense.”
“Okay?”
“Actually, it was a bit of a joke.”
“Oh little.”
When I was fed up with the devil’s jokes, my younger sister, Se-hee, supplemented what my sister said.
“Isn’t this what my sister said? Think about it, brother.”
“What.”
“When I sleep with my sister, that is, when I really want to sleep. At that time, Taeyeon said that her sister asked her to do it with her brother. But isn’t she the kind of woman that her sister would stop with just about any man?”
“It is, but it is.”
“Looking at that, it seems that the older sister thinks of her brother as a member of the opposite sex, and an attractive member of the opposite sex, too.”
And Minah also joined in the words.
“I am of the same opinion, Jiheon.”
“You too?”
“Yes. That’s right.”
Nodding her head, she rummaged through the grilling meat with her chopsticks once. She looked at it and pointed out that she wasn’t even bloody yet.
“It’s not ripe yet. Wait a minute.”
“I know, Jiheon.”
“Then why? Anyway, is there anything else you want to say?”
“Yes that’s right.”
“…”
Even so, she was cute even when she spoke nonsense.
I continued to grill the meat, and the women ate whatever I cooked. Of course, I ate every now and then.
“Sehee. Take this.”
The Demon King held out the beer he bought at the convenience store earlier. When Se-hee received it, I passed it to Min-ah, and now it was my turn.
When I held out my hand, the demon king said this and pulled the beer back.
“I just want to ask you one thing.”
“What.”
“What do you think of Taeyeon?”
“You said it earlier. Just friends,”
“I am not saying that. This is what it is like as a member of the opposite sex.”
“Ask me something like that.”
“Come on. Otherwise, they won’t give you beer.”
“Despiteably true…”
As I grumbled, I remembered the night I spent with Taeyeon.
“… From a rational point of view, of course it is attractive.”
I felt like a man wearing a pretty woman’s mask until he took me home. However, the gentle side of the mother and the easy-going side of the daughter, and talking at night, gradually felt different.
“Honestly, it is very attractive. But I have no intention of dating.”
“Hmm.”
The demon king frowned at what I said. Seeing that he didn’t show his lips, he didn’t dislike it, but seemed to be seriously thinking about it.
“Why?”
“…”
Se-hee, who was sipping a beer across the street, asked. Mina, who was sitting next to her, didn’t ask, but was curious.
I told them why I decided to do this.
“Because Taeyeon has a child.”
Taeyeon was the mother of one child. She was in a different situation than those of us who are still students or unmarried. If I met her lightheartedly, there could be a situation where she could not focus on her child.
“So I’m just going to be friends with him. He called me shackles, but if you go out with me, you can become shackles in a bad way.”
In the first place, she doesn’t think that Taeyeon will tolerate the existence of another woman besides herself.
When I told him my thoughts, the demon king nodded.
“Well, that’s what you think.”
“Okay. I only meet you guys,”
“Then you’re saying you’re going to meet as sexes, not as lovers?”
“… What?”
My brain stopped for a moment at the unexpected and sudden words. In the meantime, Mina took out her phone and listened.
“I will check how Taeyeon is feeling.”
“Uh, no, hey.”
“Excuse me, Jiheon.”
Excuse me, I made a call in front of my eyes, quite confidently.
“Yes, Taeyeon. That’s me. This is Mina. Yes.”
Taeyeon, who answered the phone right away, brought up the main topic.
“Calm. Jiheon seems to think of you as a sexist.”
“Hey?!”
“Sorry. It wasn’t sex, it was body. Yes.”
“That’s not the problem!”
But despite my protests, Minah hung up on her.
“Jiheon.”
Then, with a blunt, no, shameless face, he relayed what he had heard.
“Taeyeon said she liked it.”
“I didn’t ask!”
It was me who shouted like this, but I also had the confidence to like it. As I thought about not knowing what this was, Sehee defined what this feeling was.
“This looks like rice cakes.”
“No, some!”
“You. Jim wants to eat some rice cakes.”
“Hey! Are you doing this too!”
“Not that rice cake, but that rice cake!”
“… Sorry.”
While apologizing honestly, he separated the rice cake core stuck in the beef sirloin. The meat was finally cooked, so I cut it so that I could eat it in one bite like before.
During that time, I thought about my relationship with Taeyeon. There are so many attractive women in front of me right now, and I was happy that I was able to do it with another woman, and I felt disappointed in myself for being happy.
At the same time, I felt sorry. And it was also strange that the women who casually accepted it were weird.
“You. What are you so worried about?”
The demon king, who noticed that I was worried about not eating meat, came up with an answer.
“Even if the luggage tells me to be my body, it’s okay if you don’t hug me.”
“!”
“Well, there is absolutely no chance of that.”
The back talk was a savoir-faire, but what he said before was correct. No matter how much they told me to be my body, it was something I didn’t have to do.
“Yes.”
After all, he hadn’t been king for nothing in his previous life.
I ate the meat with admiration and a lighter heart.
“Oh, don’t you give me a beer?”
“I forgot. Get it here.”
The giver and receiver picked up the forgotten beer. As I lifted the can, the demon king shouted.
“Then let’s toast now!”
“Okay.”
“Here you go.”
“…”
All of us held out a can of beer, and clashed cans with the devil’s powerful toast.
“Jiheon’s new body,”
“…”
“For!”
“For.”
During the toast, he didn’t bother to say anything. I wouldn’t do it, but there was no way it would lead to a relationship like that anyway. I already knew it wouldn’t work, so there was no need to protest.
Look at it once Let’s see if we can get naked. I raised my eyebrows at this thought. But at this time I didn’t know. That everyone here has the same expression.
