"I''ve never been in a relationship, let alone married. Isn''t that normal? Before you get married, or before your honeymoon. I heard that the most frequently talked about the future.”
When I get married, I sometimes hear such congratulatory speeches. I mean, two people have become one from now on.
Marriage is said to be an extension of a relationship, but it may actually be something deeper than that.
Designing the future together. Having to build a future for two people, not just me.
It occurred to me that that might be the greatest significance of marriage.
Things that two people can do. Things that cannot be done alone.
The happiness you can enjoy because you have someone you love and trust...It was the things that Eunji had been trying to look away from.
But now it was becoming increasingly difficult to do. The reason was simple. Just, I was jealous.
I don''t want any more. I thought they weren''t even necessary. As time went by, I became envious.
Especially while listening to the story of Aiko couple.
I''m sure there''s a future that you both drew. I don''t know exactly what it is. We''ll be together for at least 100 or 1,000 years after we''ll both die and become ghosts. I don''t think it was this kind of future.
Choi Han-seok''s words were quite natural in a way.
Who in the world paints the future of his death? That was ridiculous.
Eun Ji, don''t say that. Still, we talked about it the other day. I''m happy right now. So that''s all it matters.
A meteor that tries to cover Eun Ji.
It''s a day I knew some of the stories that happened during my lifetime. Eun Ji, who had to live a hard life and a prosperous meteor.
So in a way, it may well be the other way around now that it''s dead and useless.
Because guilt is added with various condiments.
But Eun Ji also had a lot of thoughts. She was having a hard time.
But you''re being nice to me. My brother wants to be Holy Father. Wasn''t it like that?
Yes, yes, but why is that wrong? I don''t want to be alone. So I''ll wait for you to be ready. I told you before. Eun Ji, if you become completely happy and have the courage to live your next life. Let''s be holy together then.
The atmosphere became more and more intense.
The feelings of the two people who had been hidden were bursting out like waterfalls. Eventually, Eun Ji cried.
-However... -But that day can''t come. I''m scared. It''s so hard right now. Next time, won''t you? I don''t know if I have an older brother. But that''s not it. We''re going to break up. How do you know we''re gonna meet again? And what if you''re born poorer than now?
-That''s...
Those words come from extremely realistic agony.
The meteor opened its mouth to answer something, but eventually had to close it without spouting anything.
I wanted to tell you. Don''t say that. You said there must be better roads ahead.
But U-sung found himself ineligible to say such a thing.
Unlike Eunji, who is literally a silver spoon, Yuseong himself is at least a silver spoon.
There was no money problem, and most of the other problems could be solved with money.
The family always laughed, had plenty of time on their minds and no wrinkles on their faces.So, of course, I didn''t suffer much. Of course, compared to Eun Ji.
But there was still one left in this restaurant.
"What do you mean? There''s no such thing as that in the world."
-……Yumi?
"Look me in the eye and say it again, sister. If you think like that, and you''re scared, nothing will be solved in the end. What''s the difference? You know that the best."
Yumi.
Like Eun Ji, or similar to her.
Having lived a really difficult life, she trudged along and shouted at Eun-ji, who had fallen halfway down.
"You''ve worked hard. You studied like crazy, went to college on a scholarship, and fought on a par with other people who spent money on it. With two hands. You''re a cool person. Of course, there was a bad accident.…, what does that have to do with anything? That''s not why you''ve changed."
Aren''t you scared, Yumi?
"Why can''t I remember? Of course, I''m so happy every day with the chef, but I know it won''t last forever. But that doesn''t make me worry about it. I''m sure Eun Ji was like that before. Don''t you think so?"
-That''s... that''s right.
When Eun Ji looked up, there was a meteor.
He kept looking at himself with such a look of sorry and dying, and Eun-ji, who was receiving such a look, felt more sorry for herself.
I don''t know what I''m doing right now. I think it''s for this situation.
Where did it go wrong?
There''s nothing wrong with that. It''s just, the world is a little rough. It''s because you''re being mean to us. But you have to live even if it''s hard. I still remember. In the past. While planning a honeymoon.
I had a boy and a girl.Did you joke about naming it Jinsu and Seongchan?
Have a baby. I''ll earn a lot and buy a house. I travel abroad once a year. On weekends, I go to eat delicious food...…. That''s what we''re supposed to do. Yes?
I, I.
Eun Ji looks very confused.
In the end, Choi Han-seok, who was worse than him, came forward and sorted out the situation first.
There are other ghosts, so let''s go outside and talk.
Choi Han-seok and Yumi took the two out, and Haru remained alone in the restaurant and began to clean up the sunken restaurant.
But since it was about time that I finished cooking. I cooked food for ghosts and talked to them.
CEO Haru. Can we take a few more bottles of soju?
Oh, us too.
"Of course. Help yourself. It can''t be helped."
Contrary to the usual raucous atmosphere, everyone went on drinking without saying a word today.
Haru made some snacks for drinking, but he was still not comfortable.
I don''t know if the story is getting longer, but it kept bothering me that Choi Han-seok and Yumi didn''t come back for hours.
Eventually, the two did not return until about 2 a.m., when all the other ghosts were heavily intoxicated.
Eun Ji cried so much that her eyes were red. One unusual thing, Yumi did, too.
* * *
"So, what happened?"
It''s a bit vague. As always.
"I don''t know if you''re talking about.….”
A table heaven at dawn after business.
Thanks to the ghosts leaving quickly and tactfully, the three, including Haru, were able to plan the operation a little easier.In fact, there is no such thing as an operation. Now I was just genuinely worried. A lot of things about you two.
Yumi sighed and opened her mouth.
"Eun Ji was having a hard time. And I think you''re very confused. They don''t know anymore. What''s right, and how I want to do it."
"It''s a tough job."
It''s already over, and at the same time, it should start now.
No one could force themselves to do anything. I have to overcome it alone, but it didn''t go as well as it sounds.
-At least, not for us.
However, Choi did not seem to think so.
Indeed, thanks to his years of experience, he always came up with a masterstroke whenever this happened.
And that was mostly a similar conclusion.
"You mean I have to cook?”
- Is there any other way? Yeah, of course, time can sort of solve it. We might be able to help solve it a little bit.
Just keep doing it the way it''s been.
All a cook has to do is cook. There was a lot going on, but that was always the conclusion.
"Well, what should I make?"
There''s only one question left. What to make with a dish to console two confused people.
The conclusion of the day was one.
"Honeymoon was the thing you looked forward to the most just before they died. My honeymoon. So if we make what we expected to eat the most on that honeymoon, wouldn''t it work out somehow?”
Baklava!
"The dish you two wanted to eat the most in Greece. Let''s do it.”
It''s been a long time since I''ve done baking.
It wasn''t bad, though.
Even one day, when I was working in oral fairy tales, I made a dessert similar to that.
To be exact, rice flour was added because it was interpreted in Korean style, but anyway, I had similar experience, so I thought the outcome would not be bad.
Now that we have made a plan, the story is set to give it as a surprise gift tomorrow.
One day, I ran to the mart to buy ingredients, and immediately after the morning business, I started making baklava.
So what kind of food is baklava?
Plenty of pistachio and honey on top of the savory pastry, and one layer, two layers...…. It is a dessert that is baked with dozens of layers of syrup.
In the first place, pastries contain more butter than flour, and since pistachio and honey, which are full of fat, are added like crazy, the calories are beyond imagination.
But as everyone knows, the higher the calories, the more delicious the food becomes.
In Korea, people who traveled to Greece were half addicted to it because it was almost impossible to taste, and even the stingy sweetness was neutralized when accompanied by black tea or coffee.
Although the editorial was long, let''s start by measuring the flour.
"I know it''s kind of weird to say this. It''s fun. Baking in a restaurant where there''s no one."
"Well, actually, I was thinking the same thing. Are we connected?"
"Because Yumi and I spend most of the day together. I feel like we''re getting closer and closer."
"Kkk, what is it? That''s."
Yumi who smiles brightly at a mean joke.
Definitely, it looked much better when I was smiling like this than when I went out with Eun Ji yesterday and came back with swollen eyes.After measuring the flour, sift it down and beat it finely. Then add salt and other supplementary ingredients.
"Will you take it out of the fridge?”
"Oh, of course! I''ll get it!"
Deep in the refrigerator, remove the butter that had been completely chilled.
But this isn''t normal butter again. It''s for restaurants. It''s butter the size of Yumi''s four palms.
Boom!
I''m going to use this up today.
"I''ll make you something delicious.”
The day burned the will.
