Have a Meal Before You Go

The Khan holds up a bag of food waste. Food waste from the restaurant is very small and light. because it dries up completely and then gets drained.

You throw it away and then stretch your legs out. It's already midnight.

It's time to go to sleep, but there are nights I don't want to sleep.

For the Khan, this was the night.

It is a strange pleasure to move alone at a time when everyone is asleep. A little morality, a little deviance, freedom. They coexist.

The car moves slowly.

Nowadays, there are more late-night restaurants on the street. What's the best food for a night out?

Anything but chicken feet and stew. Khan was quite fond of chicken feet. I sometimes sell boneless chicken feet, but I also think chicken feet taste better when I grab and tear something that has bones.

Ordinary chicken feet are very spicy, and the cola once drank two glasses of soju in a chicken foot.

And then what?

Kimchi pork stew and tuna stew are also good. It's spicy, chunky, and tastes great with fish soup, and I like the harmony of kimchi and meat.

What about Bossam or his feet?

It's the quintessential midnight snack. Nowadays, I've ordered a few boxes for delivery. I also concluded that pigs taste good.

By the way.

I'm looking for something special for dinner today. I've already eaten the other ones, and it's nothing special.

“Ah.”

Meanwhile, I found a new shop.

It's a Tteokbokki house, but I've never eaten Tteokbokki at night. Khan was not a big fan of Tteokbokki. Rather, I liked the fries that come in between.

However, I imagined eating white bread and steamed horse dipped in spicy and thick sauce, and my mouth drooled without my knowing it.

Yeah, it is.

For tonight's snack, fry it with Tteokbokki.

.

“Welcome.”

The host was a quite young looking young man. He looks about the same age as Iron Hoe. He must be about 20 years old. Cheolho is more than 20 years old and looks like he is twenty-two years old. Khan complained.

I also wanted to be twenty years old. The dragon was slowly aging and seemed like a teenager for all eternity. Maybe Khan will stay that way until he becomes a teenager.

Nowadays, Khan has become quite discouraged.

It's because I was seriously skeptical about what I was good at.

Pushed to Echo, pushed to Tangerine, now pushed to Cooking. It was a terrible thing.

Khan wanted to be a great brother. If he gets hit by anyone from anywhere, he's dead! I want to be the brother who runs away. When my brother is hungry, I want to be the brother who laughs and watches him make delicious dishes.

“Ha.......”

It's stressful.

Khan scratched his head and looked at the menu board.

[Spicy Tteokbokki]

[Spicy Robbery - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (Spicy Death, Caution)]

Spicy is best when it's like this. Khan, he told the host.

“Spicy Tteokbokki Robe 5. ”

“Are you okay? It's very spicy. ”

“I'm fine.”

Then I turned my gaze to the fried menu. $2 for 5 whole fries. I also ordered 10 fries.

Soon.

Tteokbokki and fries came out. There were very few Tteokbokki soup, but it was the color of pink things like hellfire. It's like you're warning me that if you eat me, I'll kill you in your mouth.

After drinking a sip of Fish Cake Soup that came out with me, I carefully took the Tteokbokki and put it in my mouth. When Tteokbokki, which is chewed gently in the mouth, passes through the esophagus. The column senses a trembling jaw.

It's hot.

It's too hot. I felt cold sweat flowing, and tears poured down when I fell into this world that I had never seen before.

Kan concluded that eating just one Tteokbokki is enough. Then, I turned my eyes to fries.

Put fries in a mouthful and chew away at a friendly foe. Fortunately, the fritters were quite good, making me feel better. I felt stressed out because I was sweating.

The Khan looks at the newspaper next to the empty seat and brings it to his seat with a pen placed there.

And I started scrambling and scrambling. Khan hates writing, but he likes painting. There were quite a few dragons collecting human paintings.

Typically, my father did. Ecmund Rex, Khan's father, is quite an enthusiast with a separate storage for paintings.

Khan was not interested in such formal paintings, but he was interested in comics.

Zec... Zec...

Suddenly, the newspaper has twelve pieces on it, and the picture is filled. The concept is an echo that failed to gamble.

A gambling eco walks into a spicy Tteokbokki house, drinks hot beers and whatnot - but I'm not done!

This body is the Demon King who once wrinkled the Magic Cube! I lost today, but I will not lose again! They say it's an ambassador. At the same time, I ate the spicy Tteokbokki in step 5 and shed tears, and the dialogue at that time was problematic.

“This body is...... sad...... not...... crying......”

Khan giggles, writing down the lines.

Around that time, a guest came in. The guest was a man who looked about twenty years old. He picks up his notebook, orders some Tteokbokki and fries, and starts dragging the inside of the store.

Draw pictures.

The column tilts its head. He sketched the interior of the store and frowned as he handed over the notebook. The car that was observing quietly walked towards him.

“Give it to me. ”

“Yes?”

“Give me a minute. ”

As the man handed out his notebook, Khan grabbed his pencil, turned to the left and to the right, and began to draw Zec Zec.

“Here.”

Khan returned it.

I opened the eyes of the man who saw the notebook. In that short amount of time, the store's landscape was all captured. It was amazing to have the insight to look at this entire space at a glance, but it was great to draw a line without any hesitation and without any marks erasing me.

The man jumps up and down.

“Hey!"

“Hmm?"

The car that was about to leave the store just turned around.

The man suddenly looked at where the car was sitting. There's something on the newspaper there.

“Wait a minute.”

A man rushes in with a burinake. Like a professional cartoonist, the cut and speech bubbles were perfect.

“Uh, where are you playing? ”

The man's words shrug.

“What are you talking about? ”

“A cartoonist, right? ”

“I don't think so.”

I like to watch, but I've never been a cartoonist. As the car stands still, the man pulls out his business card from his chest.

“Hey, this is the guy. ”

[Era Commemoration]

[Editor: Kang Suk-woo]

A christening?

Khan thought he had heard it somewhere. The bear thought of Khan as one of Echo's adult magazines.

“Ah-ah, dirty magazine. ”

“Ah...... Yeah, well. This is Kang Suk-woo, editor-in-chief of an adult magazine. ”

He urgently grabs Khan's hand.

“Can I talk to you for a second? ”

* * *

The Khan seems dumbfounded.

- In our magazine, we're planning a full-fledged comic book next month.

Yo wants to ask Khan for comic books. These days, it's really not easy to get comics. Cartoons have not been popularized yet, and saving cartoonists was literally a freak of the sky.

At least, the cartoonist took them all from the original comic book, "Weekly Ciphers," and they seemed to be struggling.

Khan hesitated, said he would think about it, and then came back with a business card.

“What's the matter? ”

Cheolho asks.

Then the sober car shakes its head to the left and to the right.

“Cheolho.”

“Why.”

“Why don't I do a cartoon? ”

You tilt your head as if Cheolho were a surprise to the Khan.

“Oh?”

When I explained yesterday roughly, Chulho burst a big smile like it was nothing.

In fact, there are quite a few dragons who are open to art. Even in the continent of Espan, some really outstanding works of art have been handed down by dragons.

There are classes of course there are in the arts, but there are those who are talented without having to go through them.

“That's odd.”

That's what Cheolho said. Cheolho was smiling. The Khan's face brightens.

“Really? Am I weird? ”

“Yes, I want to. ”

Khan nods, puffed up.

“Got it.”

Editor Kang Seok-woo told Khan that it doesn't matter if it's irritating because it's a basic adult magazine.

The car jumps up and down. I've already thought about the materials. It's the story of the Gambler Demon King, which I've been thinking about for a long time. The Gambler Demon King lost his strength after being defeated by a warrior, but his gambling talent remained.

That is why it was used to infiltrate the Dark Ages of Humankind and destroy them one by one by one by gambling to become the king of the Dark Ages.

Of course, in the process, the Demon King eats spicy things and says, ‘This body does not weep because it is sad, nor does it weep because it is angry.'

Khan is excited. The Demon King will be sleeping in his room.

.

A month later.

A man in a black mask walked into a bookstore just before midnight. I've seen it before, but now an employee who is not embarrassed is coughing and hit him.

“Uh, welcome. But you don't have to wear a mask anymore. ”

“........ ”

The man mutters, taking off his mask, something shrugged.

“It's a secret that you've seen this body. ”

“Okay, you're looking for this, right? ”

An employee released an adult magazine that Echo searches for every month. Echo nods.

The sealed magazine is in your lap, and Echo returns to the diner. I wonder what it would be like to think about it in secret, when no one knows.

* * *

The next morning.

Today's menu was rice. A menu that boils miso stuffed in sambac. Echo starts to eat the scrumptious.

Meanwhile, Tangerine was tilting her head, sitting at the table, holding vegetables she saw.

It was a little pepper. The pepper looked small and very sturdy, but it was a very spicy pepper called the bell pepper. Tangerine sniffed it out.

Hic!

I was surprised by the smell of tangerines so spicy. And I hesitated for a moment, then carefully handed it over to Echo.

“Do you want to stay? ”

Echo shrugs and accepts the pepper. Then I cut a big mouth off by dipping it in a sachet.

Ajax Ajax Ajax

Echo chews it, realizing something's wrong.

“....... ”

I stopped crying because my tongue was so spicy. Regardless of the intention, the tears that flowed were dried up after drinking the milk from the helmet.

“To pick up a kid? What's wrong with her? ”

Tangerine asked with a worried face. Echo wipes his tears and mutters. It was such a shame to cry.

“This body…… is not crying because it is sad. ”

Phew!

The car that was drinking water stopped, and the water spurted out. Somehow, Khan looks at Echo with an ominous face.

“What's the matter? ”

Khan stares at Echo, shaking his head.

“No.”
