Chapter 410 – Did You Break Up With Sohee?!

“Jiheon. Is it really okay to do this?”

“Because it’s okay. Why, not like you.”

“I’m still worried, Jiheon.”

“You don’t have to worry. Trust me Trust me and go.”

“That’s why I’m worried.”

“Hey?!”

Despite my startled response, Mina casually let out her sigh.

“Huuuuu, I think I’ve calmed down because I joked lightly.”

It’s a little fortunate that I’ve calmed down… Like that bad bitch.

“Jiheon.”

Even though she had calmed down, Mina, her eyes still nervous, looked at me. Because she is a little tall, she looked down at me and in a slightly trembling voice she said.

“Now, let’s go in.”

“Oh, yes. Shall I open the door for you?”

“I would appreciate it if you would do that.”

“Don’t be scared, really.”

Reassuring her with her smile, I opened her door and went inside. Then, along with the strong smell of pork, I saw the inside of a friendly restaurant that I had seen since I was a child.

“Here is your order!”

“Yes! Going! Wait a minute!”

“W-W, don’t you give me soju? Did you forget?”

“I’ll have it right away! Wait!”

“Please do the math!”

“Yes, let’s go now!”

It was lunchtime, so the inside of the restaurant was chaotic. Customers sitting here and there chatted loudly and ate soup, and the lady who came in as a waitress busily walked to and fro.

“Jiheon.”

Mina, who was watching the same scenery as me, cautiously asked.

“Is it always like this?”

“Uh, no. It’s lunch time. It will fall out in a little while.”

“Is that so. By the way, where is your mother-in-law?”

This was a soup restaurant run by my parents. While the king asked me to bring something I needed for the anniversary, while I came to pick it up, Mina also went to her parents’ house to say hello.

I said to Mina while looking at the full hall.

“But you seem a bit busy right now, so let’s just say hello and go upstairs.”

“Are you saying the above?”

“The second floor is the house. Come on, let’s go.”

Even Minah couldn’t let her know that she was dating, so she pulled her sleeve lightly and released it. At that movement, she obediently followed me.

The place Minah and I headed to was the kitchen where my mom and dad were working hard. I didn’t even wash her hands, so of course I didn’t go in and called her mother who was washing dishes at the entrance.

“Mom! Mother!”

“Noisy, little!”

Mom, who was concentrating on washing the dishes, shouted without looking back at her. Even though her son came here, she was disappointed with the lady who only looked at the sink, so she called again.

“Mom! I’m here!”

“It doesn’t matter if you come or not!”

Uh. Aren’t I the son of this family?

“But you’re just fine!”

Mom finally turned around this way. However, when I saw Minah and I standing by the kitchen door, I opened my eyes wide and stopped what I was doing.

“Uh, uh uh… ?”

As if she had forgotten how busy she was, her mother crept over to her two legs.

“Oh, Jiheon. You, you… !”

In the end, she asked with a shocked expression on her face.

“Did you break up with Sohee?!”

“It’s not.”

From the time she brought her, this misunderstanding was fully expected. I remained unconcerned with her mother’s astonished reaction.

“No. This is Sohee’s friend.”

“But why are you with something like you?!”

“Could be! Why!”

Despite my protest, my mother looked at me and Mina alternately with a surprised face. Then she seemed to think that she was her guest, so she spoke to Min-ah in a cautious manner.

“Hey, hey, baby, Mr.? Right now, I’m busy, so Bi, would you mind sitting in an empty seat and waiting for me?”

“Yes, I understand.”

Mina, who spoke more bluntly than usual, left my side because my mother was right in front of her.

And as she sat down at her empty table, her mother slapped me on the forearm. Even with dripping rubber gloves on.

“Hey!”

“Ah! Why?”

“Are you cheating on such a nice kid? Cheating on you? Uh?”

“Oh, no, it’s not like that! It’s not the wind!”

“Don’t lie to me, this one!”

“No, really!”

It’s not our relationship, it’s because we’re confident, so it wasn’t like a wish we had to hide from others.

“This!”

Widely!

“Ah! A little!”

“Noisy!”

Anyway, she said after hitting me a few more times, giving me her apron that was hanging by her kitchen door.

“Okay, go get some work!”

“Uh, suddenly?”

“Quick! I can’t see the hall is busy right now!”

“No, I didn’t even wash my hands…”

“Just squeeze this!”

“Okay. You just need to wash your hands.”

She saw her rubber gloves going up and hurriedly accepted her apron. As she kicked it in front of her, she approached Minah.

“It’s Mina. I’m sorry, but could you wait here for a bit? Or what would you like to eat? Did you eat lunch?”

“It’s okay, Jiheon.”

“Still,”

“No. But Jiheon.”

“Huh?”

Mina looked up and down the blade in her apron and continued.

“Is it possible to rent an apron?”

“Uh, what. It doesn’t happen why?”

“It’s nothing. Then suffer.”

“Uh, yes.”

As she left in front of her, she wondered why she said that. It’s not pretty and it was given to me by a soju company, so I don’t know why.

“Here you go!”

“Ah yes! Going!”

At this time, when I raised my hand from the table far away, I shouted involuntarily. Putting that thought aside for now, helping at the restaurant was the first priority.

“Here is your order!”

“Yes, what would you like?”

“Two pork rice soup, one bean sprout soup, and one beef meat, please.”

“Yes, two pigs, one bean sprout, and one meat. Yes, I understand.”

“Thank you.”

“Thank you.”

I took a piece of paper with my order written on it and headed to the kitchen. There, I shouted to my dad, who was in charge of the kitchen, that he had come in.

“Dad! Two pigs! One bean sprout! One fleshy meat!”

“…”

Even though Dad hadn’t seen me in a while, he only nodded once and started cooking. I looked at it for a moment and turned his head to the still busy hall.

“Uh?”

However, an unexpected sight came into view.

“Jiheon. I will clear the table.”

Minah, wearing the same apron as me, was standing right in front of me. She took off her formal coat, which she had dressed so neatly for coming here, and put on her apron over a white shirt.

“Jiheon?”

Mina, who rolled up her sleeves revealing her chocolate-colored forearms, looked at me and asked again.

“Please let me know. Are there any special precautions to be taken to organize the table?”

“Uh?”

“Jiheon. Please reply. Aren’t you busy?”

“Oh, no…”

Hurrying to her senses, she pointed to the table where she was sitting and said,

“You want me to just sit there?”

“If you help Jiheon, you will be able to climb up quickly.”

“That’s right, just sit down.”

“I don’t like it.”

“No, and have you ever worked in a restaurant?”

“Yes, there is. I once worked at a hamba house for a month.”

“Hamba, no, that’s it.”

I wasn’t brought here for this, but I couldn’t help it now. It took quite a while to stop Mina from doing this. It was best she just nodded her head rather than saying no.

“Okay. Instead, if she doesn’t know something, she should ask right away. Understand?”

“Yes, I understand.”

“For starters, there’s a cart over there, right? You can drag it around and clear the table. Pile up the empty dishes and bring them to mom, just don’t mind the food waste, and,”

“Jiheon. Did you say I’ve worked at that restaurant before.”

Oh, it was.

She was so worried that she forgot.

Anyway, giving a simple precaution, I allowed Mina to clear the table. And I also hurriedly moved to deal with the backlog.

I observed Minah in my spare time while working. Just in case she doesn’t make her mistakes while working. However, she was also Mina. As in her previous life, she handled her work more neatly and meticulously than anyone else.

“Mother, take it here.”

“Oh, how is it?”

I was amazed to see how well my mother did her job. Having worked here for a long time, I have never seen a face like that.

In that way, the hall went back smoothly thanks to the efforts of Mina, I, and the auntie she originally worked for. Then, as the customers left and the table was cleared, the restaurant lady left work, and the two of us took care of the rest.

The restaurant, which was empty of customers, was quiet, unlike when I entered earlier. In the hall, Minah and I sorted out the empty bottles and talked.

“Jiheon. How was me Did I do well?”

“Huh. You were better than me.”

“It is overrated. Jiheon.”

“Not exaggerating, really. Can’t you work here?”

“I have a place to go.”

“Stop that and come over here. I’ll take care of the minimum wage unconditionally.”

Joking around, he sorted out the empty bottles. Then, a voice came from behind that had been heard for a very long time.

“Would you like to work here?”

“Uh?”

I hurriedly looked back. Then I saw her mother coming over here, wiping her hands on her apron.

As my mom put on a sweet smile, she came up to me.

“Hey.”

Contrary to the smiling face, the speaking voice was sharp.

“Come over here and let’s talk.”

After hearing that, she remembered that she hadn’t resolved the misunderstanding yet. I pretended to be nothing and tried to explain with a smile.

“No, Mom. I am not cheating.”

“Yes, mother.”

Mina also joined in my explanation.

“Mother. I am not having an affair with Jiheon.”

“So what?”

When Minah joined in, her mother was confused.

“Did you break up with Sohee?”

“No, absolutely not.”

She said with sincerity to such a mother. In the first place, none of the things he had ever done had been a lie. It wasn’t as dirty as the wind, and Mina was a very close friend of the demon king.

I took out my smartphone from my pocket to clear up this misunderstanding. With that, I called the demon king and told my mother.

“Mom. Look. I’m calling Sohee. Look.”

Because of the demon king’s unique way of speaking, he couldn’t immediately switch to the speaker. I put the phone up to my ear, expecting to hear an arrogant voice.

-Hmm. What’s going on.

If others had said it, it would have made me cringe, but when she spoke, I heard her voice sound cute. I spoke briefly to the voice’s protagonist.

“Oh, Sohee. I am.”

-Who doesn’t know that?

“Uh, are you with me, Mina, and mom right now?”

– Oh, is it because of that?

“Huh. But mom said she has something to say to you, so I’ll change it. Understand?”

– I see. Don’t wait

When permission was given, I immediately put down my smartphone and switched to a speaker. When I handed it to my mother, her mother called out the name of the demon king with a half-confident expression.

“Uh, Sohee?”

– Yes, mother. Hello. How have you been?

With the crackling sound quality unique to the speakerphone, the Demon King’s normal tone was heard. In response to that voice, Mom looked at Mina and me alternately and asked.

“It’s Sohee. Did you break up with Jiheon by any chance?”

-Yes? No? Absolutely not?

“Okay? So, that, me, Mi, Mina? With Mina and Jiheon…”

Mom couldn’t finish her words, and the demon king, who understood the meaning of the words, answered the unfinished question.

– It’s okay, mother. It’s not that Jiheon is having an affair.

“Uh?”

– So you don’t have to worry. Because there is absolutely no wind.

Huh. Absolutely not.

After talking a few more words with his mother, the demon king suddenly spoke in an apologetic voice.

– Hey, mother, I’m sorry, but can I cut it off? I have something to do

“Uh, uh, that, that’s right.”

-Yes, I’m sorry, mother. I’ll be sure to see you next time.

“Yes…”

The mother was her party, but even after hearing the explanation, she still didn’t understand. I was looking forward to what kind of face he would make if he heard about my romantic relationship, no, I was worried.

“Here.”

She confirmed her facts by putting her smart phone back in her pocket by her mother.

“You know now? Because I’m not cheating.”

“Uh, uh… But, why are you here?”

Mom, still puzzled, changed the subject.

“If you’re coming, tell me in advance that you’re coming. What happened all of a sudden?”

“Uh? I just have something to bring.”

“What is that?”

I told my mom what I came to get. Then she looked even more surprised than when her mother heard that she wasn’t cheating.

“No, why?”

Actually, I was a bit shocked.
