Chapter 5 : Seo-yoon’s Home Visit

The everyday life of Half Sauce Half Fried

Clu-clu-cluck

His coreat presence of a Korean chicken He strolled around the yard catching earthworms as a delicacy

”Seo-yoon, yourwithout any threats to his life while sharing Seo-yoon'sbetell cultivated bonsai and drowsing off! With his belly full and his back war more to wish for in his daily life As Seo-yoon stroked hiainst her

He was living as happily as a chicken can live

However, Seo-yoon was always sorry for him

'I'm sorry I can't be here with you'

That was because Half Sauce Half Fried was alone when she was in the capsule or at school

Cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck

Half Sauce Half Fried shook his head back and forth as he walked around in the hospital's yard

Seo-yoon thought, 'I will bring a friend for you'

Midterms, the festival, and the sports meet had ended, and now there were just a little over 2 weeks until surumbled endless complaints ”What kind of university is like this Can't university be shortened to 3 years, or 2 years, like withas he had to keep paying the expensive tuition for another three and a half years, his future was dark A convict's feelings about reducing jail time in a concentration caraduate university, it's not like I get graduation pension, it won't guarantee n company, and it won't provide me with free lifetime medical insurance either”

An endless reflection on the i

As he looked at the bars, capsule rooms, and the restaurants on the main street in front of the university, he became worried about the education world and the even the nation's future

”There should only be farry, you can help with the elders' rice planting and get a snack to eat, and in the fall you can help with the harvesting as well A tidal flat is always valuable food storage You can hitch a ride on a boat and go pull up the net, too”

On a tidal flat, a single shovel would secure food You could catch things like fresh oyster and octopus and eat them dipped in chili paste Since you could also catch fish by casting a net utilizing the ebb and flow, it was killing two birds with one stone!

”There would be no need to build a separate cafeteria”

It could be called a sy while reading, and friendshi+ps that blosso spicy fish stew In front of the university, instead of bars, salons, clothing stores, and nail art stores, a fishi+ng discount rass plaza during lunch ti next to hiether

Lee Hyun picked up a side dish with chopsticks and put it in his mouth

'Yep, it's delicious'

The lunch that had started frorilled short rib patties

'It's warm It hasn't even cooled yet'

Lee Hyun didn't even know about the lunchbox being installed with heat rays for keeping the food war ribs without expense

'So this is the taste of short rib patties'

In his h school days, he couldn't use the school cafeteria because he didn't pay the lunch fee Even so, of course he couldn't go without eating, so he secretly snuck in and took in a lunch tray He had passed his school days surreptitiously eating the stealth food that didn't go down comfortably

How envious he hen his class into lunches that their parents had made with their uthtly bit her lips as she atched Lee Hyun eating happily It see face could make a person happy, but the chance to see it was truly rare Still, Seo-yoon's cold and frozen expression, like when he had made the first Goddess Freya statue, had alht barley tea; she poured it into a cup and handed it to Lee Hyun

”M one sip of the barley tea, Lee Hyun spoke begrudgingly, ”Don't just eat vegetables; do you want to eat 1 patty too?”

Nothing is given for free She wickedly calculated to pretend kindness by pouring him barley tea because she wanted to eat the patties too!

'Though it seems she's become a little nicer recently'

Unaware that the person secretly leaving the lunches was Seo-yoon, Lee Hyun acted like a person given an enormous power

Seo-yoon shook her head to and fro She was full just watching hiain ”Then two patties?”

””

”Should I give you th-three?”

Just how le cup of barley tea, she was frowning!

There was once a time when he had shared lunch with Seo-yoon and she had eaten his ki into his head

Lee Hyun sighed 'I'ive soone to his friends holding just a spoon and had gotten a , he was able to understand Seo-yoon's perspective

”Just eat comfortably Since I've never eaten much meat I mean, because I don't like it that much Eat as much as you want”

Lee Hyun picked up one of the patties and put it in on top of Seo-yoon's rice box

Seo-yoon carefully opened her ht that it could snatch one's senses away

After staring at that sight for a moment, Lee Hyun ate the patties too

Munch ive her much of a side dish as tasty as these patties

”Why is this so delicious? What kind of ht of hi into the her to eat as she wished!

Lee hyun erain of rice behind Of course, he even left behind Seo-yoon's share of one patty at the end He had finished it off so cleanly that he was pleased with himself

'She'll have no complaints if she eats three patties'

Then, as usual, he pulled out the note that had come with the lunch to read it

”Will she tellhappily today too? Even if I don't knoho it is, she is a truly warmhearted lady”

But the ords written on the note Lee Hyun pulled out were different from the usual ones

<tbody>

I have a request

Do you have time today after class?

</tbody>

It was the suel who made him lunch

How tastily had he eaten the food she had cooked His mouth filled with saliva when lunch tiotten to eat short rib patties today

Seo-yoon was observing Lee Hyun's reaction with bright eyes

”I was curious about who it is, this is good”

With a thankful heart, Lee Hyun wrote his reply

My class in the business hall on the 3rd floor, room B07, ends at 4 Please come if you can

When class time neared its end, Lee Hyun became a little wary

”What kind of wo skill, she was iredients too unsparingly and that she only uses a brand-name lunchbox, but I don't think she'll be a bad woel in his i-jun, Park Soon-jo, and Lee Yoo-jung, others had heard of the el who packed Lee Hyun lunch Since she would finally appear today, it was a pri-jun shook his head knowingly ”C'irl who brings lunch like that is decent That's not norht?”

”To be honest it e that she hasn't shown herself until now even while putting a lunch box in the same place for over a , you heard what Yoo-jung said, right? Athat only shows up in fantasy stories She could even be a spinster professor or someone who came from a social service community”

Even so, the so away

That she wouldto hi a irl”

Lee Hyun's personal relations weren't all that normal either Give as much as you receive Since she had packed him lunch, he had siood kid!

”Then, good work today Conments finished”

The professor left the classroos one by one However, there were still students gathered in the area around Lee Hyun

”What kind of person do you think will really coht even be a student from the physical education department”

That referred to the martial arts students from the PE department who bowed to Lee Hyun whenever they saw him

The students ere about to leave the area around the classroom door stopped stock still in their positions, as if frozen

”Hot damn! It's senior Seo-Yoon”

”Huh, does she take her next class here?”

University of Korea's official Goddess!

Seo-yoon was entering the classroo a lunch box in one hand

”It can't be”

The face muscles of the students twisted They knew that the person who had packed Lee Hyun lunch was co today

”Was the Goddess-ni's edy!”

The shocked and distressed reatly fooled While frequentlySeo-yoon here and there, much of his initial aardness and wariness had decreased They had gone through the MT () and the festival, and he could even say that they had becoether Seo-yoon did often hit him on the back of the head, but now he could even let that slide with a laugh

However, for Seo-yoon to be the owner of the lunchbox, he was inevitably tense

'With what kind of secret design did she'

Lee Hyun was suspicious frouard and being defenseless while eating lunch

'That's right! That was no good It was foolish, no different fro fooled by a loan company that says it'll let you borrow money for ten days with no interest'

A fierce self-reflection on his careless blunder!

Seo-yoon approached and extended the note

<tbody>

You'll listen to ht?

</tbody>

Lee Hyun tre for this htered after feeding the an excessive request by seizing that vulnerability!

However, Lee Hyun did not want to live with a debt Interest would grow on the debt, and eventually it would be a quagmire he could never escape

”If it's a suitable request within feasibility I'll listen to it”

As if relieved, she pulled out a note she had prepared beforehand

<tbody>

Half Sauce Half Fried needs a friend

</tbody>

”Half Sauce Half Fried?” Lee Hyun tilted his head

Wasn't that distinctive name passed down from the chickens he raised at ho about the chicken she had taken at the MT

”You need a chicken?”

Seo-yoon nodded

Lee Hyun didn't hide his breath-choking tension and asked again ”A fes?”

Seo-yoon had just wanted to bring hiender divide in advance However, since Half Sauce was aa feain

At that, Lee Hyun's eyes treuished expression

'A laying feht now in particular is the whelp that ate up half the balloon flower root I picked up in the mountain last time'

[T/N: Balloon flower root is a common medicinal herb]

Even so, if he calculated the price of the lunches, a single chicken could be considered fairly inexpensive

Lee Hyun answered in the affir her to her head

<tbody>

I want to bring her after seeing her myself

</tbody>

At the contents of the note that she had prepared beforehand, Lee Hyun thought for a reed

”Fine You can pick her yourself”

He was under the illusion that their relationshi+p lacked trust

'It seems she wants to pick the best chicken since she's packed many lunches The most nutritious and expensive chicken'

The chickens had been raised well to an extre fes soon after laying an egg Since they all had about the same value as the market price, he had permitted her to come to his house

Lee Hyun walked with Seo-yoon all the way to his house

The men who saw her on the street stood du at her again Both men and women were unable to take their eyes of them They looked like they couldn't believe their eyes as they stared at the far too beautiful Seo-yoon Their gazes stolen by Seo-yoon, they couldn't overco by her side

'Just what kind of lucky person is walking around with a woman like that?'

Lee Hyun was extre a orn t-shi+rt and faded blue jeans

'Why is a bastard like that did he seize some kind of vulnerability?!'

'He's rich! His family is definitely rich He's either a wealthy person with thousands of e or his inheritance is enorreat'

Looks of jealousy and envy shot at him, but Lee Hyun stood fir in the world The heart is important” He knew Seo-yoon's true identity She was vicious, violent, and even underhanded The worst, as far as her humanity went!

Even if her face was so pretty that it ood if you fell for her because of that

”Even if a woman can cook pretty well, has a lot of ure, and is pretty, wears soood”

If she was bright enough to get into the University of Korea, then she had to be considered brilliant Even though they took ether, Seo-yoon solved the practice problems in the workbook way too easily She was even quick to understand and solve parts that the class was going nowhere with

”In sorettable for h

Seo-yoon was unexpectedly following hih heels was part of the reason, but her stride was also quite fast At the si to Lee Hyun's house, her face was flushed to the point where it was obvious It was her first ti a man's house, and she had happy expectations on what kind of chicken she should bring as a friend

”We're here”
