Episode 83

Fortunately, the condition of Suho’s aura that I saw up close wasn’t very serious.

Mild stress.

‘I was surprised.’

I guess it was because there was a game today. But I was surprised because he was always bright and cheerful with Su-ah.

I used to think that they were kids who would never be in the shadows their entire lives, but I realized that wasn’t necessarily the case.

Therefore, Suho also joined in pulling out weeds.

There’s nothing like mindlessly pulling weeds to relieve stress.

I don’t know if it was because I was thinking too much or because the game wasn’t going well, but I was able to relieve that mild stress in this way.

And then I saw… … .

‘It just so happens that all the people I’m close with in the village have gathered today.’

They were the members who gathered during the Family Month event.

It’s strange to think about it that way. People gathered for Family Month… …They’re not even family.

Anyway, with Suho joining in, the weed pulling was quickly over.

“I’m done!”

“great job.”

Sua was the first to come in and sit down in her seat.

After that, one by one, they came in.

It felt like a long time, but it was quick because I kept taking care of it.

But the village chief who came in last checked the time and spoke in a surprised voice.

“Oh my. I guess I have to go and see this.”

“Yes? Right?”

“I had an appointment. I forgot.

this.

If I had known, I would have just made something delicious first. I felt sorry for a moment.

at that time.

“Can I take that instead?”

“… … A wasp nest? That’s okay too.”

“Haha! Okay then. I’ll consider it a meal.”

A smile appeared on the village chief’s face as he said he would take the wasp nest away.

Is that so good?

Anyway, I’m glad that you’re satisfied with just going to Seoul, no matter where you go…

Besides, I was going to give it to you anyway. I heard you on the phone earlier.

I’ve received a lot of help so far, but this is just a little bit in return.

That’s why I asked the village chief to pull out some weeds for me because I was paid to do so…

“Haha! Then you guys go play together and come back. Oh, Lee Seon, you have to work out tomorrow morning, so come early.”

“Ugh!”

The village chief spoke to Lee Seon-ah while holding a container containing a wasp nest. Then he suddenly disappeared.

Pat pat!

Han Song-i and Su-ah consoled the frustrated Lee Seon-ah.

Of course, those two didn’t have the camaraderie of working out with Lee Seon-ah.

“Sir! Hurry up!”

“What have you prepared?”

After a brief interjection, I asked for the menu.

Lee Sun-ah also looked at me as if she wanted to eat first. Su-ho, who still didn’t know what was going on, just looked at me with a bewildered expression.

“The menu includes fruit yogurt topped with honeycomb and honey butter pancakes.”

“and!”

I chose it because I thought it would be good to eat a snack since I did some physical labor.

Anyway, we’ll all go home and eat, so let’s eat lightly.

“I’ll buy this. Everyone came to SuA’s concert, so at least this… … .”

Then, Suho, who heard the menu, stepped forward.

That guy’s aura hasn’t even fully recovered yet…

It couldn’t have been anything other than the right guy.

But Suho’s golden bell couldn’t ring. Not only Suah, but even Han Song-yi and Lee Sun-ah were against it.

That’s understandable, aren’t they the ones who pulled out the weeds?

Suhoya came late and it was over quickly, but they weren’t like that.

“No! Is this the old man shooting?”

“Okay. Take your time.”

He replied to Su-ah’s words with a sly smile.

And soon the menu was prepared.

The yogurt was already there. And the fruit on top was something I’d already made a few times.

Peach Compote, Shine Muscat, Apple Mint Cider.

The other thing is that the honeycomb was just cut into pieces and put in place.

Of course, that makes a huge difference.

‘It’s different from the sweetness made with sugar.’

Ice cream is good, but the combination of yogurt and honey is also quite good.

It couldn’t be bad, with sour yogurt and sweet honey.

Isn’t it sweet and sour itself?

Add in some garden fruit, homemade fruit preserves, and even some savory, and it’s literally over.

‘The drink is done.’

It was my first time making pancakes, but it wasn’t difficult.

The recipe is simple, but above all, it uses Moksaeng’s talent. But if I just grill it, it seems like it would be boring…

‘I saw an interesting video the other day and I thought I should try it.’

Was it pancake art?

It was about drawing with pancake batter.

First, I melted the butter in a pan and poured the dough on top of it to draw a picture as if I was using watercolors.

Sarah~

The aura-filled hands displayed the talents of Moksaeng. Then, the dough seemed to dance.

“Wow! What is that?”

“Pancake Art.”

He even took the time to respond to Su-ah’s words.

“Can I do this too?”

“… … Okay. Do it.”

Lee Seon-ah asked when the village chief got out of his words.

Of course, I asked if it was okay to use it as content, and they said it was okay.

Well, there’s nothing specific, so what’s wrong with just shooting randomly?

However, I personally thought that if I told this to various places, this healing and relaxation would be ruined, so I thought it would be good to just be careful about that.

It’s not like I need money right now or that my business needs to prosper.

And that’s my thought.

“of course.”

Fortunately, Lee Seon-ah also seemed to know well.

Oh, by the way, isn’t it true that Lee Seon-ah was originally a mysterious person who didn’t reveal specific places or things specific to herself even when she was in the city?

I was just a roommate, but somehow I ended up developing that concept.

Anyway, I thought there was no need to worry about that.

“hmm.”

In the meantime, the dough on which the picture was drawn was slightly cooked.

Now just cover the entire drawing with the dough and flip it over!

Okay!

“Wow!! It’s a bee. It’s a bee, right?”

The thing drawn was a bee that expressed yin and yang with a dark brown color and a moderately golden surface.

And the pancakes with the bee pictures are complete.

Transfer to a bowl while still hot and top with a piece of butter.

And if you bring it up to the honeycomb where the honey flows, then with this… … .

“Honey butter pancakes and honeycomb fruit yogurt are here.”

He placed the menu in front of people who were waiting with their throats about to pop out.

This was the first time there were this many people, but it wasn’t bad. In fact, it seemed like it would be okay if there were more customers in the cafe.

I think it will give a different feeling.

Well, if you keep running the cafe like this, it will happen naturally like this, so there’s no need to force it.

“How do you do this? It’s really amazing. Boss. If you have time, could you please take a look at my work? With this much talent, I really want to hire you.”

Hansong-i made a suggestion while looking at the picture drawn on the pancake. Of course, it was rejected.

I would be happy being the owner of a cafe like this.

“Eat quickly. Suah, you too… …um, you’re already eating.”

“yes!”

Sua ate the yogurt first.

It’s like a mixture of sweet and sour, somewhere in between, where yogurt meets honey and its potential explodes.

Su-ah’s wide eyes didn’t know how to get smaller.

Watching Su-ah eat like that might be the most satisfying thing.

Others also saw Suah and started eating.

“Aren’t you eating, hyung?”

“I’m going to eat too. You eat quickly too.”

Finally, I took my share, taking care of Suho as well.

Su-ah, Han Song-i, and Lee Seon-ah also shared yogurt with each other.

“This is delicious~”

“I have one too, sister!”

“Okay, okay. Okay.”

“Puhhihi! Ah! Unnie, I saw the webtoon you drew!”

“Really? How was it?”

“This is so much fun! When is the new one coming out?”

“Um~ I’m thinking about it now. Soon?”

“Really?!”

It seems like we’ve become really close, not just in the group chat.

In particular, there were no sisters who were much older than Hansong.

“Oh, I was wondering who it was. Baekho High School baseball team. Right?”

“Yes? Oh, yes.”

On the other hand, Suho-rang was still awkward, but Lee Sun-ah showed interest first.

But that Suho guy… … .

‘What’s that guy?’

Why is it that, instead of being so friendly to me, he just makes an awkward expression when I give him a very short answer?

Could it be that guy?

“You lost today?”

“Uh, how?”

“Because I like baseball.”

“Me, really?”

Why do you stutter like that?

I think that’s right. I didn’t know he was a handsome guy who was popular with the girls…

‘You’re a young man. Well, you’re only 18 years old.’

I heard from Lee Seon-ah that Aura was depressed and stressed because she lost the game a little while ago.

But that guardian guy, now his aura is not dull, but slightly pink, really.

To a high school student, Lee Sun-ah would be a really pretty older sister, so that could be possible.

Anyway, it’s fortunate that the aura doesn’t get any duller.

By the way… … But why does it feel like I’m the only one here?

Why~?

Oh, you were there too.

“Oh, right. Do you want to try some too?”

Likewise, when no one paid attention to him, Rangi climbed up onto the table. When he was given a little bit of honey, he ate it gently with his tongue.

Yeah, I’m glad you’re here.

I chuckled and tried dipping my pancakes in butter and honey.

‘Honey butter, it goes without saying.’

I felt better. And I liked the atmosphere.

Because today, which was special, also had that kind of atmosphere that made it everyday… … .

“mister!”

“why?”

“One more!”

“… … Okay. Eat a lot.”

It’s good to eat well.

Well, yeah. But you eat a lot.

I shouldn’t let Suah pull out weeds from now on.

‘If I make a mistake, the cafe pillar will be pulled out.’

* * *

When I’m immersed in something, time flies.

The seasons change in an instant.

“It really has gotten hotter.”

The period from mid to late May.

The sunlight pouring down into the cafe was unusual.

The surrounding trees provided shade and the breeze blew from the mountain, but it was not easy to stay outside from lunchtime until the afternoon.

‘I might have to turn on the air conditioning soon.’

Now, it was cool inside the cafe, even though the windows were open and no sunlight came in.

They say the rainy season is coming soon, so I think I should really start preparing for summer around that time.

I was sad that spring had passed, but I was looking forward to the coming summer, so the regret didn’t last long. Above all, I had to clean the air conditioner and prepare more summer drinks.

‘There’s a lot to do.’

There were many things to prepare for when the seasons changed in the countryside.

Of course, when I was working at the company, there was a lot of work to do when the seasons changed.

But I just thought that the seasons were changing and that there would be no problems with plans or projects that followed the changing seasons.

It seemed like the same thing was happening every day. So I only felt this way when I came here.

however.

“Even the aura is affected.”

It was really interesting to see how auras were affected by the seasons.

Enough to make me want to keep watching it.

It’s not that I absolutely don’t want to work… … Well, yeah. Honestly, it’s probably because the weather makes it difficult to move around.

‘I wish at least a guest had come.’

Even more so when going out from inside a cafe.

It would be nice if guests came at a time like this.

Ding, ding, ding

The door was left open, so the bell rang in the wind.

But coincidentally, someone came up from the path. And not just one, but several!

‘Huh? That guy.’

One of them was someone I recognized by face.

“Hello, boss! I’m back again!!”

The person who spotted me from far away and greeted me cheerfully was none other than Go Na-eun.

And the other people next to me somehow seem to be around the same age… … .

‘… … I should have just quietly cleaned the air conditioner. I was just thinking about something like that.’

I had a feeling that some guests who wouldn’t be easy to get to had arrived.
