42 – 16. Afterparty

‘What should we go eat…’

I was worried while driving.

Because I was tired, I couldn’t think well.

Perhaps it was the same for them as well, as all the magical girls in the car looked exhausted.

I can’t see any major wounds, but fatigue is something that can’t be helped.

Chijik.

I opened the energy drink I had purchased before departure. A beverage with a refreshing fruity scent as the carbonation comes out.

But the contents will be dangerous.

‘You have to drink to drive.’

The refreshing carbonation goes down the throat, and the caffeine awakens the brain. With this, you can safely drive to your nearby accommodation.

“Are you very tired, uncle?”

It was Noah’s voice.

“You look more tired.”

“hehehe…It’s okay.”

Noah, sitting in the passenger seat, smiled helplessly.

This is how Noah is in good condition.

I have to go to the accommodation quickly so I can do anything.

Whether you rest or eat.

I continued to drive the car. Be as careful as possible so no one gets hurt.

However, driving does not mean that accidents will not occur if only you are careful. Something unexpected always happens on the road.

The division broke out just as we were about to pass the intersection.

The moment I was about to pass the intersection, a motorcycle came rushing out from the side, ignoring the signal.

“Ha f*ck.”

I cursed and calmly stepped on the brakes.

Of course, just because I was calm, there was no guarantee that the car would be the same. The car seemed to be quite surprised and started shaking loudly.

She pressed Noah’s collarbone with her arm to prevent Noah from tilting his body. Fortunately, no one was hurt and the bastard just disappeared.

“You’re not hurt, right?”

“Yes…”

Everyone else was safe. I thought it was fortunate, but it was inevitable that I would lose my temper.

“Ha, that little girl-“

I was about to say something harsh, but I held back.

From noble mtl dot com

There are children. There is also a little boy who has just entered middle school. If it were in Kraken mode, I would chase it and crush it in half.

I tried to let go of the arm that was holding Noah. However, Noah did not let go of the arm he was holding. I looked at Noah.

He seems quite surprised.

Or maybe it’s because something suddenly makes me feel excited.

‘…Oh my.’

Now that I think about it, isn’t this also a kind of romantic situation? Something that saves you from a dangerous situation…

‘…A girl’s heart is difficult.’

I was just helping, but it seems like it made my heart flutter again.

I stopped the car on the shoulder of the road and waited until Noah let go of his arm.

A teasing voice was heard from behind.

“Mister.”

“Huh?”

“He just seemed like a really bad guy.”

“Why?”

“He swears with his mouth and steps up for his woman-“

“You’re really getting scolded for calling me your own woman.”

“hehehe.”

Lee Tae-hwa hides behind a chair while laughing.

Noah had a blank expression for a long time, and it was only after 10 minutes that we were able to leave again.

+++++

After unpacking in our respective rooms, we gathered outside again.

The place the five of us headed to was a pork belly restaurant.

As soon as we entered the entrance, the smell of cooking pork belly wafted in the air, and everyone’s mouths watered.

You have no choice but to be hungry.

Everyone went through that hard time.

We settled into the room and looked at the grill with blank faces.

“Here’s pork belly.”

After receiving the pork belly, I decided to grill it as the representative. I was also tired from the fight, but I can’t reveal that.

Chiiiii.

Pork belly goes up on the grill.

As the meat cooks with a sizzling sound, everyone’s eyes also burn.

If anyone sees you, they will think you have starved for a few days.

“Guys.”

“…”

“I’m just saying this out of old age, but you have to eat it when it’s fully cooked. Understood?”

“…Yes.”

While everyone remained silent, Noah was the only one who answered.

Hmph, I should give Noah something big.

I cut the cooked meat with scissors and gave a piece to everyone.

“Everyone eat.”

“What about you, uncle?”

“I’ll bake it and eat it, so don’t worry.”

That’s how the meal began.

“Delicious…”

Starting with Lee Tae-hwa’s exclamation, Seo Jin-ah and Yu-yul’s exclamations were heard.

I felt proud to see everyone enjoying the pork belly.

‘How does Noah eat?’

The only one without a reaction was Noah.

When I looked at what he was doing, I saw that he was wrapping wraps.

Lettuce on top of green onion slices, ssamjang, garlic, and pork.

And one more piece of pork.

Really cheap, no. It is a generously prepared ssam.

Noah held the wrap with his small hands.

“Eat, uncle.”

He handed the wrap to me.

“Huh? Noah, you ate it. Looking at it, it was wrapped with great care.”

“It’s for you, so I put a lot of effort into it. Please eat it now.”

“Noah…”

How does he speak so beautifully?

I had no choice but to take the ssam and eat it. The flavor overflowed in my mouth.

I also wrapped some ssam.

Green onion, kimchi, garlic, and ssamjang. We secretly placed three pieces of meat each.

“Noah, ah.”

The guy made an embarrassed expression and opened his mouth wide. Ssam that goes into the mouth.

Maybe because he has a small mouth, his cheeks swell up quickly.

“Don’t forget.”

“Okay, okay.”

I was looking at Noah while smiling like that, and for some reason, I felt his cold gaze and warm gaze at the same time.

The main character with cold eyes is Lee Tae-hwa.

“…It’s okay to show affection, but please eat one piece of meat at a time.”

The main character of the warm gaze was Seo Jin-ah.

“I’m jealous…I wish I could have a boyfriend soon…”

What is Yuyul doing? I just ate my share with an expression of interest.

I felt somewhat embarrassed and caught the owner who was passing by.

“Boss, please give me two bottles of cola and two bottles of cider here.”

I picked up the cola and cider the boss brought and distributed them to the guys.

Feeling empty, I drank a mixture of cola and cider.

Noah asked about that action.

“Mister, why do you have to eat like that?”

“I want to mix it up. I can’t mix soju and beer in front of you, right?”

“I hope you had a good time last time.”

“That was then.”

“Eat it, I don’t care.”

Noah also asked Taehwa Lee and Yuyul.

“Are you guys okay too?”

“It’s okay~”

“I don’t mind either…I often see my dad eating…”

These guys…

I definitely craved alcohol. A cool alcohol that can completely wash away this grease.

However, it is difficult to do it alone, and you need an accomplice.

“Jina, would you like to have a drink too?”

“Huh? Me too?”

“We’re both adults, so wouldn’t it be okay if we had a drink?”

After hearing what I said, Seo Jin-ah pondered and nodded her head.

“Then let me have a little drink-“

“…I thought about it too, but I don’t think it’s a good idea to drink alcohol in front of middle school students.”

It was Noah’s sudden change of mind.

Yuyul had a questioning look at those words, but she avoided eye contact when she saw Noah’s serious expression.

I looked into Noah’s eyes.

After knowing each other for a long time, I was able to read Noah’s expression to some extent.

That expression…

‘Maybe it’s jealousy and worry.’

As I expected, he must be jealous that only Seo Jin-ah and I drink together. She said she is still a minor who cannot drink alcohol.

Are you worried that Seo Jin-ah and I are getting closer while drinking?

Well… I think I should stop worrying.

Seo Jin-ah must have seen Noah’s expression like that, and although she doesn’t know the details, she must have thought that she wouldn’t be able to do it if she drank alcohol.

“Hmm…I think what Noah said is also true. If it’s just high school students, you wouldn’t know, but if there’s Yul, it might be a bit different.”

Seeing him refuse alcohol like that.

In the end, I gave up drinking and decided to just drink as much as I could.

Money? I don’t know, maybe the association will give it to me.

No matter how messed up the country is, the kids fighting for their lives should be able to eat well.

“Noah, eat more.”

“Yes, thank you-“

“No, eat it all.”

I handed Noah the wraps I had made that were twice the size as before.

“It’s impossible for it to be that big…It won’t fit…!”

I force-fed ssam to Noah who was behaving and saying he didn’t like it.

“It’s too big…”

“What do you do while eating well?”

“…Taehwa, what are they doing?”

“Don’t worry about it, just eat. That’s what’s left.”

“Whoa…I’m jealous of Noah…”

After that, the meal continued.

We had a great time grilling not only pork belly but also other parts, and eating soybean paste stew and cold noodles at the same time.

Noah patted her stomach after eating a lot.

“Noah, did you eat a lot?”

“Yes. I ate a lot.”

The guy’s stomach was sticking out.

Lee Tae-hwa, who was looking at that, stroked Noah’s stomach and looked at me.

A mischievous smile appeared on the guy’s face.

“Congratulations.”

“Why?”

“They’re twins.”

Sigh! There was a sound.

It was the sound of Noah hitting Lee Tae-hwa on the back of the head.

“You really need to stop! Doesn’t it hurt if you hit me like that!?”

“But it’s fun.”

“Profit…Real!”

Lee Tae-hwa is giggling and Noah is shaking.

I guess it’s just their own way of playing. It was amazing. These are the guys who were growling not long ago.

‘I guess it means Jinchin.’

After leaving the restaurant, we stopped at an ice cream shop and had some dessert before returning to our accommodation.

I guess it’s not the right time to eat.

The guys finished their mouths with a whopping double king size.

‘I can’t keep up with you anymore…’

Somehow, I threw myself onto the bed to soothe my slightly sad heart.

“Oh no, I’m going to die…”

My stomach was sore.

After transforming into a Kraken, it is always in this state.

A state of being drooped and not wanting to move.

How nice it would be to fall asleep in this state.

But I can’t fall asleep yet. Because I haven’t washed or taken off my clothes yet.

Moreover, since I have something to say, I can’t just sit still.

Tak, thak.

I heard a knock on the window.

“It’s open, so come in.”

The owner of the knocking sound opened the window.

“Excuse me?”

Kkyun came in.

“Then let’s talk seriously now, Mr. Kraken.”

To interrogate me.

“…Whew.”

It looks like the long day is not over yet.
