Chapter 332 - The Naive And Harmless Woman (1/2)

As agreed, Halia eventually left the hotel to have lunch with Natalie and Sean. They ended up arriving at Gwangjang market, one of the oldest and largest traditional markets in South Korea.

There were many street food stalls in this market with a variety of popular dishes that the trio wanted to try.

Halia looked around and felt her stomach grumble. ”I could try one of everything!” she exclaimed greedily.

”Me too!” Natalie said with a similarly greedy look on her face.

”Tteokbokki?” a middle-aged woman asked as she stirred a pot of rice cake in a spicy red sauce.

”Bindaetteok?” another woman asked as she poured some mung bean pancake batter onto a hot plate.

Meanwhile, a man tried to pull Sean over to show him a little fish tank at the front of his stall. ”San-nakji?” he asked as he pointed to the wriggling creatures inside the tank.

Sean bent over and looked inside with surprise. There were a few baby octopus swimming inside the tank. ”Pet?” he asked in English.

He then turned to the two girls, ”How fascinating, they keep octopus as pets here.”

Halia and Natalie looked at the tank and tried to hold back their laughter.

Men often complained that women watched too many brainless romance dramas, but reality proved at that moment that they were actually quite educational. Because, the two women both knew the octopus were not pets... They had seen these octopus in dramas.

Natalie immediately pulled Sean away. ”Honey, that's food,” she whispered.

Sean looked at her with curiosity, ”It doesn't look very filling. They're so small. How do they serve it? Stir-fried?”

Halia broke into laughter, ”They are chopped live and served raw!”

She then pointed to a plate that someone was eating. The tentacles were still wriggling as the man grabbed a piece and put it into his mouth! A bit of the tentacle even clung to his lip like it was refusing to be eaten. It was a local delicacy!

Sean's eyes opened wide in shock. He had eaten sashimi before, but nothing that was still moving!

With a laugh, the two women dragged him to another stall, ”Let's eat this instead.”

They then started pointing to a few different things. The woman behind the stall quickly nodded her head happily and started preparing the dishes.
