Have a Meal Before You Go

It was a relaxing summer evening.

The beauty of summer days was that the sun was about to go down. One summer's sunset when the wind is blazing, but it doesn't feel bad.

At that time, Chulho always sits still somewhere until sunset.

If you close your eyes quietly, it smells everywhere.

Rough house food smells, curry smells, meat smells, human smells, and baby smells.

Cheolho sat next to him and stroked the well's tangerine head.

Tangerine held a baby fox in her arms. The fox was quietly wagging its tail in it to see if the tangerines were getting used to it.

Looking down at him, Chulho stood up smiling.

“Let's go.”

“Ugh……”

Tangerine frowned and nodded.

Chulho held a tangerine in his arms. And still, Pod! Disappeared with the sound of voices.

* * *

The place that resurfaced was in a secluded forest. The cub realizes that this place is definitely familiar.

Yes, it is.

It was home!

The fox happily jumped out of the tangerines' arms. In the past, foxes used to run all over the place and not be able to play. I barked into the air.

As the cub leaps into the air, fireballs appear on the other side.

Queek!

Then came the mother gumiho and the eight cubs. The baby fox that Tangerine had raised was excited and ran to her mom. Gumiho is happy to lick his cubs.

“...... ”

Tangerine asked me why I was so sad. Chulho said, touching the cheeks of such tangerines.

“Come on, say goodbye. ”

“Farewell. ”

Tangerine muttered. I thought it was a sad word, so I looked up at my dad with a depressed tangerine head.

“Farewell, my child? ”

“Farewell means you say good-bye, and then you're on your way. Okay, bye! ”

Chulho waves his hand at the foxes. A flock of foxes make a spark and embroider the air like fireworks.

Tangerine asked.

“If you say good-bye, you can't do it again? ”

Cheolho smiled.

“No. Farewell, goodbye! I'll see you next time! It also means. ”

“Another babysitter? ”

“Well, that's okay. ”

Then Tangerine smiled brightly and waved to the foxes.

“No! Farewell, dog! Bar again!"

Cheolho glanced at the scene.

In the past, there was only a dull gray world in Steelho's head.

The world was dry and so was the life of Chulho. Life lacks something important, just like that.

But now.

In the head of Iron Tiger, this scene will also be remembered forever in bright, colorful colors.

Every time there are more brothers and sisters in the dining room, there are more colorful landscapes in Iron Hoe's head. I closed my eyes quietly and thought of the time when I would reach out my hands right away.

It's probably the feeling of happiness.

Tangerine waved for a long time. I don't know why. Bright face, big face.

Chulho carried a tangerine in his arms and went back to his restaurant.

.

The next day, Tangerine left early in the morning.

“I'm a newcomer! ”

I wore shiny pickle shoes and a blue dress. He had slanted sunglasses on his forehead and a cute little fish painting bag on his back.

Yeah, sunglasses?

Chulho tilts his head.

“Let it go. ”

Khan smiled and said. Cheolho nods, smiling bloody.

He's been making a lot of money lately, and he's been spending a lot of money here and there. Well, that's not bad either. I had to know how to handle a lot of money.

Echo seems to be running a new business these days, but he hasn't asked yet. Yeah, sometimes it's better not to know.

In the eyes of Chulho, who was thinking like this, I saw two men who wanted to go along a tangerine like that gently.

“Stop moving.”

Kahn and Echo wink at Cheolho's voice! and stopped. The two look back, smiling peacefully.

“What's the matter? ”

The fact that Echo has that smile is a sign that he's hiding something.

“Don't bother him. I'm in trouble, really. ”

Kahn frowned at Chulho's words.

“Don't worry, Chulho! It's a relief that I'm coming with you! ”

I didn't insist on saying, "I think there's a bigger problem with you going."

Cheolho shakes his hand like a nuisance. Two factions went out along the tapioca tangerines.

* * *

Tangerines on the pavement, behind you! You turn around. Shaqek, there's no one behind you with a shout. Tangerine narrowed her eyes, turned and walked again.

The name of the new bike is Corlock again. The new bike is good at thing-thin ', so Tangerine has been obsessed with bikes lately.

Tangerines on my bike felt popular again. Suddenly, I thought it was scary.

My dad told me to hit him with an umbrella when there was a crisis. Of course, it's the same with friends in crisis.

He said hitting people is bad and bad, but he also said he couldn't help it.

An umbrella with a slanted mandarin inserted into its bag was pulled out like a sword.

He turns his head.

Suddenly, there were Khan and Echo. The two factions lifted their tangerines as they wept.

“Tangerine, do you want to go somewhere with your brother today? ”

“Is Odi going? ”

“Yes. To see the land. ”

“Land bar? ”

Tangerine looked down at the ground.

Ordinary dirt floors are as dull as ever. But this land is no fun to play with. It doesn't dig well, and it's frustrating.

“This land is not bad. ”

“Oh, yeah? ”

Echo blinks and picks up his notebook and starts taking notes.

[I don't like this land.]

“Lose. Dog for Curry to tell. ”

The place Tangerine pointed with her finger was on the back side of the mountain. Tangerine, who joyfully rode her bike to the quiet grasslands on the back mountain.

“This is high and low wheat. This is a place only Gyuri knows. ”

The two factions nod calmly.

“How are you? ”

Tangerine began to dig deep into the ground. The soil has been dug well, because it is very watery and watery. The land here can be built quickly and can be built with dirt as well.

Suddenly, Tangerine asked again, thinking that you and Echo were not paying attention.

“You'll see, right? ”

“Ugh, yeah…"

When Tangerine proudly dug up the ground and made a castle out of it, the two xenografts scratched her glabella.

Tangerine kicked the castle with her head tilted.

Waar!

“Why, why smash it! ”

“Is it true that you work hard? ”

Both factions waved their heads and began to move with tangerines in their arms.

* * *

“Now, how about here? ”

Arriving at the back alley of a remote Seogdaemun Gate, with a bad neck.

Tangerine tilted her head.

“I can't lose. ”

“Really? Somewhere else, then. ”

Echo used space travel with cans and tangerines.

Pot!

The place reappeared was a shabby land on the northern edge of Seodaemun Gate. It should be safe from the monsters, but it's a little farther from the city.

Tangerine shakes her head.

“I lost. ”

The three rooms that were looking over and over the land stopped, ironically near the restaurant. Precisely, the ground on the line where Pata's hardware store was empty.

Tangerine looked at the land.

Somehow I felt like a good place.

“Lose. ”

“Yes!”

Echo nods, clenching his fist.

On the other hand, Echo was recently devoted to buying land.

There's no way to know what good land looks like, so I found it with good tangerines. You said tangerines are good, so you'll like anything.

Echo remains Pot! He disappeared, but came back a little later. In one hand, there was a contract.

I thought I'd bought some land.

“Did you just buy it? ”

The column asked.

“Yeah. This body is a lot of thrust. ”

“Where did you get the money? Land must be worth a lot. ”

“Well, there's always a way. ”

Echo was recently robbed of a criminal organization when he was bored. Whether they wanted to or didn't want to make money in the process.

For example, criminals commonly say they will pay if they are cornered. Echo, that's why he always takes what he gives.

But it was true that criminals should be beaten up, so beating them with money solves the case.

So after collecting a few pennies, he sometimes sells Lise's autograph book, so money was made to buy the land.

“Here, I bought the land. ”

“...... ”

“All you need is money to build a building. It's no big deal for this body. ”

“…… I see. ”

Echo gestures at Khan. Khan gave me the tangerine he had in his arms.

“Hold on a second. ”

Pot!

Echo disappears, pod! Soon he buys three lotteries. Actually, it was in tangerine's hand.

It was an instant lottery lottery. I've been selling it a lot lately.

Tangerine had her head tilted and was sucking on the inside of her mouth to taste the lottery.

Khan was furious and took the lottery.

The lottery was covered with silver, and if you scratch it, it would match the same four numbers inside.

Scratch the first lottery.

7777

“Huff.”

The column carefully checked the amount of the 7 winning numbers.

[Winnings, $50000]

And then what?

12 12 12 12 12

[Winnings, $40000]

In this way, all three chapters were winners.

He made over $100,000 in three bills in one fell swoop.

Khan hesitates, and he gets to vote for those three lotteries! and breathed.

Bloop!

The sound of more than 100,000 dollars burning, it was unexpected.

“Why, why, why! ”

Echo crouches.

“Don't use my brother to live like this. ”

“Well, anyway! ”

“I'd rather ask Chulho for it! But what are you trying to build? ”

“Well……"

.

“I mean, what? ”

Echo replied to Cheolho's question.

“Yes, a book cafe. ”

“Bookcafe.”

It was a pattern that existed in Chulho's contemporary life. Quite surprisingly, I asked.

“Surprisingly, did you have such a fancy hobby? ”

“Hmph, I don't know what to look at this body for. This body is naturally very elegant. ”

The Detect kid doesn't work on him anymore. The Detect Eye works up to the fifth grade master. I can't read more than that.

“Hmm-”

Building a building was actually nothing. In fact, what Echo is trying to do is really very unique.

“Bad things-”

You're not going to say, but Chulho shakes his head with a bloody smile.

“Sure."

“Huff!”

Echo stoops down, holding his heart.

“Tsi, are you serious? ”

Cheolho shrugged his head and listened to the newspaper. Echo grips Iron Hoe's hand with an impressive face.

“I'll pay you back in no time! ”

Chulho smiled strangely at the joyful one.

Maybe this is what it's like to have a parent raise a child?

Chulho thought so. When the troublemakers grow up trying to do their own thing.

The feeling of pride and sadness on the one hand is strange.

It's hot.

The end.
