Have a Meal Before You Go

Beast tilts his head slightly in front of the diner.

The tiger brought itself here. That genius couldn't have done anything wrong, and there must be a reason for that.

“....... ”

Then.

Drum-

The door to the restaurant opened and the owner showed up. The owner looks at the Beast and opens his mouth.

“Ah, it's been a long time since you've had a guest. ”

“....... ”

It was Cheolho.

Chulho smiles and lowers his head slightly.

“But you're always welcome. Please come in.”

The Beast blinks. A diner that sells at 3: 30 in the morning. But somehow I'm hungry. Ironically, the Beast couldn't stand the hunger right now.

So I walked into the diner without even knowing it.

* * *

Dental profit-

Food was provided adequately during the interrogation.

But the Beast didn't eat anything on purpose. It looks like it's been a week. I wasn't hungry.

He drank only water because he needed to sort out the thoughts that were filled in his head. When the idea was resolved, I was hungry, squeezing the gap.

Glug-ug-

The Beast smiles bitterly, looking down at his tumult.

The kitchen started smelling delicious. What on earth are they preparing for? Curiosity grew.

Suddenly.

Steel walks out from over there. In his hand was a bowl of white rice. Chulho put down the dead bowl.

“Here you go.”

“....... ”

The Beast takes the bowl, lifts the spoon. Dead, neither very hot nor very cold. It was moderately cold and held at a moderate temperature.

As I ate, I felt my body accepting the food. The empty and bitter stomach slowly relaxed. I was emptied out in an instant.

The Beast's eyes revived a little.

Chulho looked at him like that and went back into the kitchen.

Next was a warm soup.

I got warm when I drank a clear soup made of clear, unstimulated broth. Somehow the Beast felt a slight release of tension embedded tightly throughout his body.

Dental profit-

On the other side, you hear the sound of something baking.

I close my eyes slightly as I hear that sound.

Maybe I'll feel like this again next time.

It was a comfort I had felt for a long time. He just sits and breathes, wanting to enjoy that feeling.

It was cozy and warm.

Somehow I remembered that day.

Beast 20 years ago, when he was 10.

At that time, I met Eve in this confused city.

- You look hungry.

I remember her smiling as a child.

.

Beast was a refugee who lost his hometown and was admired in Seoul.

He lost his parents, his brother, and gave up his life. There are no signs to take the slow child to the escape procession.

The Beast barely reached Seoul, being abandoned from the path he had envisioned.

Seodaemun.

At that time, Seo Gate was literally a continuation of hell together every day. The invasion of the monsters grew differently each day, and the compassion was only getting more and more hasty.

The Beast staggers and settles in an alleyway in the city.

It was on the porch of some shabby house.

Shoes that are running out of clothes and soles like a litter. Twitchy face.

Anyone can see it.

His friend was just a little beast.

A small cat and an animal that have been together since their hometown. I thought it was too small to be a cat, but it was a while ago that I realized I wasn't a cat.

The beast is very small even though it has been raised for a long time. Yeah, it was a tiger.

The young Beast strokes the tiger's head, which is held in his arms. Both eyes collapsed in blood, fatigue, and sadness.

People passed by in front of the Beast.

No one cared about the refugee child who lost everything. They were also busy taking care of themselves.

I starved for days.

I was fine until I starved for about a week. However, as I entered this week, I was dumbfounded. Eyes continue to settle, and the world spins round.

The flies fly constantly on the injured arm and leg, being chased by monsters. I'm tired of chasing them away. The two eyes dug into the recess.

Who.

Somebody help me.

Help me.

Beast's mouth is all dried up. I hear a beeping in my ears. It was about time that sound became clearer and clearer.

“You look hungry. ”

Like an angel, a girl appeared before me.

She was a very white-skinned girl in a white dress. She was the only one who could see clearly in the middle of a confused world.

The Beast looks at her with his helpless eyes.

“...... ”

It was like a person living in another world.

“I'm Eve. ”

“......? ”

“My name is Eve. ”

She smiles brightly. Then I grabbed Beast's hand, who was sitting there.

“This is my house. ”

“....... ”

The Beast just stood up staggering.

I rumbled.

The world is spinning. We have to go. We'll find another place. When the Beast moves dangerously with its squeaky tiger in its arms.

“I saw you last week. I saw it coming. ”

She said an unknown word.

Then I grabbed Beast's arm again.

“Eat and go. ”

She takes the Beast inside the house, washes him clean and gives him something to eat.

I clothed him.

The pleasure of Beast eating something for a very long time, and the relief of being alive. And I felt the sadness that was pouring in.

Tears poured down my wrinkles unknowingly. The girl wiped the Beast's tears.

“What's your name? ”

In her question, the Beast quietly replies.

“Yeon-woo Kim.”

“That's a pretty name. ”

He opens his mouth carefully.

“I don't have any money. ”

“I don't need money. ”

“I don't have any. It's gone. It's gone. Except for this kid. ”

The cub squats beneath Beast's feet. He licks Beast's wounds, whimpering. Eve grinned and took out a large red handkerchief and tied it to the wound where the disinfectant had been applied.

“So...”

The Beast speaks quietly.

“My life. ”

“Huh?"

“....... I'll give you this. ”

It was when I was ten.

Followed Eve to the Awakening Society and grew up as an Awakening Society.

I met many friends through the world of adversity. Growing and growing.

Beast and Eve suddenly turned 20.

A lot has happened.

And now I'm thirty.

.

“....... ”

The Beast falls into a daze of reminiscence, then regains consciousness from the hissing.

The next thing that came out was a crunchy steak that was grilled in bunches of finely chopped meat.

The Beast ate it without saying a word. Into the meat, the steak is very soft and melts away.

It was a strange taste.

Maybe there's a meat that's so soft and smooth?

It was so soft and calm that it didn't burden the hungry organs at all for a long time, and it was so delicious.

Chulho glanced at the Beast. I took Velto's breasts from the refrigerator and gave them to the black tiger sitting quietly in front of the diner.

The tiger stares at the tiger.

Knng, knng, knng -

After smelling Cheolho's scent, you groan as if it feels good.

I think he remembered the smell of Iron Tiger when he saved the Beast last time.

I knew then, but I still feel now.

This guy is a monster.

Tiger spirits are very precious, but they are very clever, strong, and loyal. It is also famous for not following the wicked.

There seems to be a complication with that man. Chulho decided not to ask.

When Chulho came back to sit in his chair. The Beast was almost finished eating.

There was a firm determination on his face. Cheolho stared at the Beast's face.

I've seen that look before.

There were so many.

It was the face of death. Those around Chulho who looked like that, their colleagues, their friends.

Most are dead.

Beast stares down at the empty plate for a long time. Then I got up from my seat. Beast bows to Chulho.

“Thank you.”

“Customer.”

Beast raises his head at Cheolho's words.

“How did it taste? ”

“...... It was delicious. ”

“Right?"

Chulho stood up and said.

“Trikelops' soles are made of pure lipids. You put it in the milk of a cowhole. And then you get the sponge-like lipid aging, which is very fine-grained. ”

Chulho shook his head as if he were cutting through the air.

“....... ”

“With that chopped lipid, you can trim Velto breasts again very well. And then you mix the two ingredients together, and you give it a dough. ”

What is this guy trying to say?

“Bake it in that state and you'll have your supper steak. It's my kid's favorite food. ”

I have no idea.

The Beast nods.

“I see.”

“Yes.”

The Beast searches his pockets. It's time to pay up and leave.

Then Chulho told him.

“I serve.”

“.......? ”

“Food value, next time, please. Next time you come back, you get it. ”

The Beast stares straight through that veil.

“I'll treat you to something even better next time. ”

I don't know what's going on in there, but Beast thinks something's burning in his chest. Swallowed, and swallowed it again.

Something hot caught my heart. I felt a sense of otherness

But there is no turning back.

I slowly turned around and left the restaurant.

I climbed on the tiger's back.

The tiger starts to run fast. One day, he slipped away to the other side in an instant.

“Hmm.”

Chulho muttered to his back like that.

“Here we go again. I have to."

* * *

Tangerine returned approximately three hours later.

Somehow Tangerine was wearing a completely different outfit from when she left, and there was a huge bouquet of flowers in her arms.

Chulho pretended to be asleep and looked at the tangerines.

Tangerine takes off her shoes, her treasure, and returns to her room holding it tightly in her arms.

First, place the shoes neatly next to your head.

Then, I saw a bunch of flowers.

“Straighten up. ”

Tangerine mumbled like that and began to give flowers one by one to her sleeping family.

First things first.

I put two roses on Echo's head. Then, I stuck a bunch of golden coins in the head of the sleeping compartment.

Khan grunts and groans. Tangerine slapped him on the cheek and laughed again.

The last one is Chulho.

After placing five magnolias in the head of Iron Tiger, Tangerine put the remaining bouquet of flowers in the back of Iron Tiger.

“Da-da. ”

Then, he shrugged and slashed off his arm, closing his eyes.

“....... ”

Soon I saw the colored sleeping one, and Cheolho smiled.

I'm going to have to pretend I didn't notice today.
