Academy Silver Gatekeeper

163 – Dinner – 1

Suddenly, I slowly opened my eyes to a bright sensation coming through my eyelids.

The fatigue still hasn’t gone away, but as I realize that it’s morning, my body starts moving on its own.

Damn sad reality. I didn’t know that oversleeping could be so unsettling.

“Hmm…”

It gently relaxes the neck and shoulders and slowly awakens the body.

As I came back to my dazed mind, I suddenly thought about what happened last night.

No, no. To be exact, I remember the events that occurred until dawn today.

“… Ah.”

You crazy guy. How far did you run yesterday?

I’m not a horny bastard, nor am I that hungry.

A love affair that started in the evening and continued through the night until dawn.

I continued with Suhyeon, changing positions several times along the way.

Me and Soohyun clung to each other like we were crazy.

We were so intoxicated with each other that we rushed at each other with the intention of violating our souls.

I didn’t know it when I did it, but now that I think about it… That’s right.

It is said that the first experience remains as a strong memory for both men and women.

I can’t help but mentally say it’s not the first time, but for Suhyeon, this was the first time.

So I wanted to give it a little better time, but I don’t know if it would have worked out well.

… To be honest, the only thing I remember right now is Soohyun hugging me randomly.

I don’t remember how gently and well I treated him.

Now that I think about it, Suhyeon, who should be sleeping next to me, is nowhere to be seen.

Are you washing it by any chance? I checked the bathroom, but it wasn’t there.

Just as I was wondering where on earth I had gone, I heard someone calling from the other side of the door.

Dalkak-

“Oh, are you awake?”

The guy named me is just waking up and whining.

Soohyun woke up and looked so shiny, as if she had already taken a shower.

“Would you like a glass of water?”

When she nods her head reflexively, Soohyun holds out her cup.

“I prepared a simple breakfast for now.”

Also, I don’t know when I prepared it, but I even brought a simple breakfast on a tray.

Porridge and a few simple side dishes that show signs of hard work.

In fact, it was probably Suhyeon who was more tired than me, but I once again thought that she was amazing.

“Thank you, Suhyeon.”

“It’s nothing special. Just a little bit of what was at the examiner’s house… Oh, I apologize if I messed up the house carelessly. I was just thinking of preparing breakfast…”

“I’m worried about everything. “I wonder if I’ll get angry about something like that.”

To be honest, I’m not in bad enough shape to eat porridge.

However, since you prepared it with sincerity, it would be right to empty the bowl.

… But, if you look closely, there are settings like that.

A character like this is secretly appearing as a fool somewhere.

And isn’t this kind of method usually the worst when it comes to cooking?

I took a spoonful of porridge and took a deep breath.

Even if it doesn’t taste good, don’t let it show. Let’s eat as deliciously as possible.

Irina said it. Whether I know it or not, I can’t manage my facial expressions.

Poker face. Know? Let’s not disappoint Soohyun here. Let’s finish well.

“Uh.”

What. Are you okay? It’s not undercooked, and it’s not bland or salty.

It is not just rice that is used. Looking at it, all kinds of vegetables were chopped into small pieces.

If you’re at this level, it’s not that you’re bad at cooking, but rather that you’re good at it.

“How are you?”

The corners of Soohyun’s mouth are strangely raised as she asks that question while holding a tray.

In some ways, it seems like they’re worried that it won’t taste good.

If you look at it another way, it seemed like you were seeing a girl who was highly expecting praise.

The sight of him wiggling his fingers and waiting for my answer was like…

‘It looks like a puppy.’

Yes, puppy. A cute puppy wagging its tail and waiting for more affection.

Clatter, rattle-

From the perspective of someone who cooked, the most enjoyable experience is enjoying what you prepared.

Since I was well aware of that fact, I quickly emptied the bowl.

“The best.”

When she sticks out her thumb, a big smile blooms on Suhyeon’s lips.

Seeing her smile like that makes me want to do something.

“Wait. “Wash up quickly and I’ll do something for you.”

“Yes? No! Examiner, get some more rest! It’s the weekend!”

“The weekend is the weekend for you too. Soohyun, even if you prepare this, it’s still morning.”

I guess I’ve hit the nail on the head, but I can’t answer and just look.

If anyone sees it, they’ll think I’ve done something big!

“You really don’t like the breakfast I make?”

“Yes?! Oh no!! Absolutely not!”

“So just wait a little bit. What… “It may be a little worse than what you did for Soohyun.”

The breakfast prepared by no one else but the ‘Red Witch’ herself was better than expected.

Perhaps it was a sight that no one had ever received or seen before.

A person who prides himself on being a professional self-catering person eats someone else’s breakfast.

I think my pride was strangely hurt, so I gave it some strength without even realizing it.

“Did you do all this?”

Homemade potato soup, tomato and egg stir-fry, bacon, toast, milk.

To be honest, I don’t eat breakfast like this every day either.

Just eat it with a decent side dish, or even just a little cereal.

I was just a little concerned because the person who came today was none other than Suhyeon.

“Eat a lot. “You must have had a hard time waking up in the morning and making porridge.”

Then, Soohyun shows a strong will to eat everything without leaving anything behind.

If anyone sees it, it seems like they are force-feeding it, so I told them there was no need to do that…

“No! The examiner prepared this, so it makes no sense to leave it behind!”

He said and started eating really hard.

To exaggerate a bit, it’s like someone who starved for three days.

… Hmm. Maybe you didn’t adjust the seasoning incorrectly?

I am quite confident in cooking, but seeing people eat like that makes me anxious.

If you make even the slightest mistake and the cooking is not very good.

I’m going to be a new kind of pervert who makes a lot of strange breakfasts and then makes them eat it all.

There is nothing more miserable than eating something delicious on the outside, but thinking on the inside, ‘This is torture!’

Woah- Woah!-

The cell phone placed in the living room vibrates to notify you of an incoming call.

When I took a quick look at the screen, the saved name was Chairman Kang Min-seong.

I’m usually not the first person to contact you, but today I’ve been on the phone since morning.

Are you doing this because you found out that your granddaughter stayed overnight with her last night?

Did she feel helpless anger at the man who took away her beloved granddaughter?

But the last time we talked, he seemed to have an idea of what would happen.

He’s a bit immature, but he’s not a great person to say anything about now.

If it’s not related to Soohyun, he may have contacted me about something else.

“Yes, Chairman.”

I answered the phone calmly, thinking I would have to bump into it first to find out.

Then, Kang Min-seong’s first words were heard over the phone…

[Are you awake? Have a nice weekend, granddaughter-in-law. ]

… Thank god. If you were drinking or eating something, this was 100% true.

Probably as soon as I heard that, I said, “Hehe!” Curl look! He must have coughed heavily.

“Meeting, Chairman?”

[Why are you so embarrassed? Aren’t you with Suhyun right now? ]

As the silence continues in affirmation, Kang Min-seong bursts into laughter.

I think I know why you’re smiling. It probably means that a grown adult is ashamed of something.

I can imagine. If it were right in front of me, I would probably feel a rush of shame.

[I wonder if I’ve gone too far, but in a way, it’s only natural. Even though the world and people’s thoughts have changed a lot these days, it’s still weirder that we spent the night together and then have no relationship at all. Isn’t it? ]

That is correct. Even though it is not as much as it used to be, there is still that social awareness.

Because we promised the future, we feel like we are allowing and giving everything.

From Kang Min-seong’s perspective, it means that it is enough to call me a granddaughter-in-law.

[Why is there no answer? Maybe you don’t like the title you give to your granddaughter-in-law? ]

“No. It’s not like that… “Isn’t it a bit embarrassing?”

[Uh huh. It’s nothing to be ashamed of. This is something to celebrate. It’s one step closer to ‘family’. ]

After that, Kang Min-seong continued to laugh and say various things.

If we had talked face to face instead of over the phone, I think he would have even patted me on the shoulder.

[Let’s have a meal with our family members as soon as possible. Coincidentally, Soohyun and Abby also returned home early this morning. Examiner Baek Seo-jin, you should take a look too. ]

When I think about it, Su-hyeon only lost her mother, not her father.

However, the relationship between the two was estranged, and the reason was the nature of her father’s job.

Most of the work involves traveling overseas and interacting with companies and overseas clans.

Therefore, it is said that she spent less time with her family than others.

Even when Su-hyeon’s mother died, she was abroad when she heard the news.

‘But that doesn’t mean the couple’s relationship wasn’t good.’

Even though it was an arranged marriage in the beginning, Geumseul said it was good.

However, from Su-hyeon’s perspective, it was enough to misunderstand that her father was neglectful of her family.

In the end, she is brainwashed into becoming a villain and even murders her father herself.

But, fortunately, such immorality does not occur this time.

Because Soohyun became the Red Witch, not as a villain but as someone with superpowers.

How dare a Confucian Taliban child murder her parents in South Korea!

“All right. As soon as possible…”

[In that sense, how is this evening? ]

As expected, he is the leader of Ganga. Look at his actions his his his. So unstoppable.

Is it because it’s a place where swords are wielded? Pushing in with honesty.

Suddenly, I was reminded of Soo-hyun, who was running at me so scary yesterday.

[Stay with Suhyun until then, and come back slowly at the right time. ]

Then again, heh heh! When she smiles, it feels like she’s being teased.

Even though she’s not even face to face and she’s just talking on the phone.

Her face burns as if she had sat in front of a hot fire.

‘Rather than that, it’s family.’

The moment I heard those words, her hands started shaking without me knowing.

Perhaps it was my body that reacted, not my mind.

Under the influence of that she continued to live alone until she was possessed.

It’s not bad. Rather, family is always a happy word.

But what I’m worried about isn’t Soo-hyeon, Kang Min-seong, or the people by the river.

She was a woman who took another wish ticket with her, similar to Su-hyeon.

‘What on earth should I do with Irina?’

It would have been better if I had just done something really hateful and gotten out of my mind.

Also, it gets on my nerves when people keep saying and doing things that make me look at them.

Above all, he is actively appealing his heart just as much as Suhyun.

Wow-

[What are you doing, Seojin oppa? ]

Even the tiger will come if I tell it, sending a message like a ghost.

Because of this, she couldn’t help but sigh and feel dizzy.

Why am I so envious of fantasies that allow harems these days? Fuck.
