Have a Meal Before You Go

Kim Manho intends to go to the construction site in no time.

Before he was nicknamed , he had always worked in Nogada Edition, so many of his friends were there.

As times change, the work of the outdoors tends to be overwhelming.

Kim Manho always remembered the time when he was hungry. Pocket situation was always poverty, and dreams were just a luxury.

That's why we understand them more than anyone else.

“Where do you think you're going? ”

Chulho looked at Kim Man-ho, who was single, and asked.

“Oh, yeah. ”

What he ordered today is kimbap.

First, place the rice on top of the steam.

Bob should spread half of the steam a little more with the curly rice. Loads various long sliced ingredients onto rice. Today, Chulho was going to generously use materials that cost quite a lot of money.

It's because I know who he's going to meet.

First, he slices the salted cucumber long, as well as the owl and the long dagger. Grill the pork belly of the king pin, cut the fat all the way out and put it generously in size to get into kimbap.

Then, the cabbage was rinsed into the water to leave it in the bag, and the water was drawn back to complete the inner material insertion.

You should stop making kimbap like that. Marla was in charge of Khan and Echo.

“Damn, I can't believe I'm not eating kimbap. It's a big deal."

Echo grumbled and rolled up Kim Bop. Echo's Kim Bob Ma was really great, so Cheolho was sometimes surprised.

Chulho began making again with similar materials, turning only meat into King Finn's Leaf. The throat is dry, but the columns are a little slower.

“Hey, this. Like this. Try this. ”

I advised the Khan that Echo was frustrated.

“Here, look. Like this body. Grab the bottom, turn it gently. No, turn it around. ”

The Khan follows the ragged echo. Then it became steamy easier than I thought.

“Wow, that's amazing. ”

Khan was truly impressed.

“Hmph. This body is good. ”

Echo was turning into a kitchen pro without even knowing it. He may not know it, but he was quite talented.

Anyway.

That's how I ended up eating kimbap. About an hour later, I was able to meet the order volume of Manho Kim.

120 lines of kimbap!

“Oh, I don't think I've ordered this since this morning. ”

Kim Manho handed out the bills with a sorry face. Cheolho shakes his head.

“It's fun to drink kimbap. ”

I can feel Echo and Khan staring at the helm. Chulho smiled and handed out 120 lines of kimbap to him. Kim Man-ho, flashing a giant bag of kimbap, bows his head.

“Thank you."

Kim Manho found a construction site in the frontier today. It's a long time before lunch, and it's time to bring unbearable heat.

It will be time for rest soon.

Construction facilities nowadays are significantly better treated. Specifically, the construction commissioned by the association was well-known for its treatment. Bob was good, needless to say, and good company.

However, Kim Man-ho knew better than anyone that people who worked hard always knew they were hungry.

“Hey, Manho! ”

The first time I recognized him was a young man who looked quite young. The name of the young man who is a little over 20 years old this year is Jung Jeong-soon. He was as gentle as his name.

“Hyung-soon, how are you? ”

“Always. Hey, are you gonna eat that? ”

Kim Man-ho grinned as he lifted his rice.

“Yes, it's kimbap. Bring in the men. Let's eat together.”

“Yes!”

Jung-soon ran out, smiling.

Soon, familiar faces returned.

“This is not a schmuck! ”

Kim Man-ho smiled and welcomed them. He gave them kimbap and watched with a happy face.

Jung Jung-soon chewed a row of kimbap and gave one to him.

“Aren't you eating? ”

“Is there anything left for me to eat? ”

“So does he. ”

Jung-soon smiled. It was last year that I found out about him. At that time, Kim Man-ho took care of it after starting the first job.

The reason was simple. This one was too delicate for the last shift.

He is tall, small, and small. He is now pretty tall, and his body is hard. It was just a unique, relaxed, slow voice and action beggar.

“Sir, is Awakening okay? ”

“Awakened? Well, it's worth it. It's rewarding.”

“I see.”

I stuffed kimbap in my mouth, saying that I was slightly jealous of Jung-soon.

“Were your dreams originally Awakened? ”

“A dream.”

For him, his dream was to live like everyone else. I had no dream of what I would be proud of. He just came to his senses and he was in a position to live every day.

“Yes."

But yes, I lied.

“I see.”

“What is your dream? ”

“Dream?”

Jung-soon choked and drank water. Jung-soon was eating something and was observing it here and there. Soon, I answered lightly.

“Well, first of all, I think it would be good to make enough money to live on." ”

“....... ”

Kim Man-ho felt frustrated. But there was nothing I could say to him.

One day, I asked him if he would rather be in the Cyber School anaesthetic class.

- You get a scholarship if you go to Cipher School and you're an anaesthetic, but it's great to live with your brother. If you don't want to starve and pay the rent, you'll be much better off working hard.

The Society's finances are always tightened.

And there was already a lot of money in Awakening. The reality was that half of the anaesthetics were underfunded. It would be nice if everyone had good conditions, but it's still hard to be practical.

Planting a dream that is out of reality, sometimes it is rather harsh.

Kim Man-ho found out.

Clearly, there were limits to helping you rob your own property. That's why I always felt frustrated in situations like this.

After eating Kim Jong-soon's rice, he took out his notebook from his back pocket and started drawing while looking at Kim Man-ho.

Within a minute, I tore a piece of paper and gave it to him.

“It's a gift.”

“Gift?”

It was a silly painting. This is the image of a middle-aged man with his tongue pulled out in a big comfy figure. I could see that it was me.

“Oh, you're painting. ”

“A hobby.”

Somehow, Jung-soon was ashamed. Kim Manho took his notebook and handed it over.

Inside there were drawings like this and that. Kim Man-ho handed over the notebook and stopped in one picture.

“Is this me? ”

“Yes, you draw a lot because your character is unusual. ”

His painting was unique.

The painting itself was a very funny feeling, but the characteristics of the people were clearly alive.

In the past, it was called caricature. Every time I handed him one, Kim Man-ho was forced to glance at those paintings.

“This is Magchang. ”

“Yes, next to Shadow Cat. ”

Magchang is scrambling towards the air with a big, tall spear. Shadow Cat has cat ears all over her black outfit and lips glossy.

I was able to get the impression that the features were very well expressed.

Kim Manho suddenly tilted his head.

“Have you ever been to a newspaper or something? ”

“I've done it a few times. I've been kicked out many times.”

“Hmm… I see. ”

“Maybe it's not my way anymore. How much would it cost to paint? ”

The realistic words were bitter. However, Jung-soon's eyes were somewhat lively.

“Do you want to be a painter? ”

“That's the thing. ”

Jung-soon scratched his head. My hair grew hot and sweaty.

He's slow. He was observing, thinking, looking carefully and talking.

“It's fun to draw people. People look different, don't they? Strangely, each of them has a different atmosphere. I like to draw it. ”

How many people in the world do what they like to do?

Kim Manho sometimes reminds himself of his luck in such areas. Working for the Guardian's team as an Awakener was his lifelong wish.

Because now he was happy.

“Well."

Jung-soon stood up with his pants down.

“I think I'd be happy to be able to live with painting. He's got a lot of pitching to do. I think it's been a few years. ”

Jung-soon pulled out another notebook from the other pocket. Then, in the top pocket of his work clothes, he placed the notebook in a crispy folded envelope.

“Can you do me a favor? ”

“Please?”

“Here, put this in the mailbox on your way. This week's pitch. ”

“Oh, right. ”

Kim Man-ho also stood up. Jung-soon lowered his head with a good smile.

“Thank you for eating, Kim Bob. This is delicious. Thank you for coming sometimes. I have to look sometimes. ”

“It's good to have a lot of time. ”

Kim Man-ho tapped Jung Hyung-soon's shoulder. Then he took the envelope he had prepared out of his pocket and shoved it into his pocket.

“Here's your allowance. Buy her something delicious, buy you something you need. ”

Jung-soon was frightened.

“Oh, it's okay. You can't do this."

“Not at all. You can just say thank you and accept what the adults give you.“ ”

Kim Man-ho stopped Jung-soon from returning the envelope.

“Here he goes. I'll see you around. I'll stick this on the way. ”

Jung-soon scratches his head, then bows his head again.

“Thanks all the time, mister. I'll make it up to you. ”

“Yes. As soon as you live, pay me back. ”

Kim Manho greeted the workers, then moved away from the workshop.

.

“Papa.”

Chulho opened his eyes shruggedly. Tangerine was approaching Chulho with a smile in the bathroom.

“Papa?”

“You're not going to Chocolate Room today, are you? ”

“Oh yeah. ”

Just in case, I threw it, but I guess not.

“So....... you didn't draw a map? ”

“Oh, no? ”

Chulho lifted the tangerine. The baby seemed to be in the best mood today because it had shells in its mouth.

“Then, why does Tangerine feel so good today? ”

He asked and kissed the cheeks of tangerines. Tangerine slightly bit her lower lip with her upper lip and reached out both hands to Cheolho.

“Don Joe. ”

“Money?"

- Oh, right.

Cheolho nods.

“Yeah, the day our tangerines get allowance today. ”

“Ugh. Money should be today. ”

“Yes. Go get Kai. ”

Tangerine ran to the room and called Kai, who had been playing since morning and reading a painting book.

Then you poke Kai in the side.

“Get to work. ”

Tangerine sat at the table and reached out her hands to Cheolho. Kai didn't know how cool he was and copied it.

Chulho stroked the heads of the two little ones alternately, then gave out five dollars.

“Here. Allowance. ”

Allowance?

“Yes. It's okay to spend it anywhere. Because it's yours. ”

[Wow....... are you really giving it to me? (Joy)]

“I'm giving it to you. No matter how much you spend it, I won't say anything. You just have to protect one thing. ”

Chulho gave two children a small notebook.

“After spending money, just write down where and how you spent it. I'll give you money once a week, on Monday. ”

Tangerine sparkled.

“Papa, do you want some more Koh Lat? ”

Cheolho nods lightly.

“Yes, you can eat it. ”

“Beep beep beep? ”

“Yeah, you can buy a Beep-Beep. But Beep-Beep is worth more than five dollars, so we're saving money, right? ”

“Surrender! ”

Tangerine slammed the table with excitement and rolled her feet. Kai touches an elongation bill for some reason that the first coin he earned was so curious.

[Thank you.]

Chulho grinned and smashed his hand on Kai's cheek.

It's because I'm starting to think I need to teach two kids how to spend money at scale.

Cheolho wanted these two kids to lose money. There's a lot more to learn through that process.

But I want to give you some advice.

“Money is good for buying something worth spending. ”

“Is that the dog? ”

“Yeah, when you buy something. It's worth paying for, I think. I'd like to buy one of those. ”

That's gonna be hard for these kids. I knew, but I couldn't help but notice. Chulho added to Tangerine and Kai, who had a fluffy look on their face.

“Well, go out and play. ”

Tangerine and Kai ran out.

On the other side, Echo, walking around like a roaming colony, walks to Cheolho and asks him to nag.

“Hey Cheolho. ”

“Why?”

“....... do me a favor. ”

Echo has a very discreet face. Chulho tilts his head.

“What?”

“Give this body some allowance. ”

“....... ”

Cheolho scratched his glabella.

Come to think of it, there were two other adult children in this house who didn't know the world.

Chulho lets out a short sigh and points a finger at Echo.

“Go get Khan. ”
