Have a Meal Before You Go

Im Jae-hee was the most popular writer in Seodaemun.

He had recently succeeded in hitting restaurant novels and was also a promising person who made quite a lot of money.

He had several afflictions, one of which was historical news.

Luckily, he ate poorly, so his whole body was poor. Last but not least, it was a hell of a job.

His stories of Jarin Gobi consist of anecdotes that seem to descend into legend. For example, if you receive a receipt paper, you can immerse it in water, remove the ink, and dry it as a recycling paper.

And the only thing he spends most of his time on is, perhaps, buying food at home from time to time. He also went to Cheolho's restaurant. It seemed like the cheapest and tastiest menu in the neighborhood.

“You wanted to see me? ”

Cheolho found Im Ji-hee like that.

“Yes.”

“What's the matter......? ”

Recently, Cheolho's concerns were not one or two, but there was a bit of a big problem, so it was Khan's consumption life.

I used to know that Khan spends a lot of money in really bad places, but recently that overconsumption has been a big problem.

“To my child......”

Chulho carefully added.

“I need you to teach me the spirit of Jarin Gobi. ”

“......! ”

Im Ji-hee sparkled.

“Then I'll give you three meals for free at our restaurant for the rest of your life. Is that possible?"

.

“Oh, shit. I don't want to go!”

The Khan howls. The Khan grabs hold of the visit, and is dragged out of his grip, not overcoming Echo's power to pull back as hard as he can.

“No! No! ”

“I have to go, you idiot! ”

Echo drags his car out to the diner.

Khan grabs the threshold. Echo slaps his finger on the compartment, reminding the cartoonist that his finger is life, shaking his head and stabbing his back with his elbow.

Puck!

“Cough!”

Khan misses his hand in vain. Cheolho stroked the head of the compartment.

“Khan. Go, be a man and come back. ”

“Chulho, Chulho, Chulho! Too much! Too much! You've done too much! ”

Khan tries to defend himself, but he is stunned by the cold eyes of Iron Hoe.

Chulho said in a cool voice.

“You spent some last month. ”

“What? You spent like $10,000 last month! ”

“Wrong. Spent over a million dollars. ”

“What! Seriously! ”

Echo is furious.

Chulho nodded and picked up a piece of A4 paper and slowly recited it.

“You've had thirty-four bottles of $10,000 a bottle of wine at one bar…… one bottle a day? ”

Khan's eyes are wide open.

“There's a casino on the continent of Espan with a little over 600,000 dollars in it. The guys at the casino had a party. ”

“Well, well, well..."

“And you had a full lunch at over $10,000 a piece at a super-rich restaurant. $300,000 for this. Finally…… 300,000 dollars for online gaming. ”

“...... ”

“A little over 1.5 million total. ”

In fact, Cheolho could consume that much at any time.

It's not that expensive to consume. However, I couldn't let the money the Khan made go to waste like water.

“Your balance is now empty. At this rate, I'll have to cut off your support. ”

Steelho's cold voice twitches and curls. The Khan stands on his feet, somewhat dull.

“I'll save you the trouble. ”

“I've heard that a dozen times. ”

“This time it's real. ”

“That's a little over ten times. ”

“Just look at me once. ”

“I watched you nine times. ”

Cheolho clapped his shoulder.

“Go and learn to save money. It's only been a month. In that time, it's really nothing in your dragon life. But you're about to learn a lifetime of good habits. ”

He spoke as kind and warm as his father. The Khan realizes that there is no turning back, and lowers his head.

Bloop-!

“Hello!”

About that time.

An instructor who will be training Khan for the next month has come into the dining room. He was a skinny, 30-something guy with glasses.

“Come on, let's go. Khan!"

Im Ji-hee said, Kahn looked at Chulho with a reluctant face.

- Escape, no soup.

Saw Cheolho speaking in the shape of his mouth, he shrugged. Tangerine jumped out of my room and yelled at my brother.

“Dada! Oh, God. Oh, God. ”

Chulho hugged a tangerine like that and patted his butt.

“Tell him I'm coming to visit him. ”

Tangerine doesn't know what a visit is.

However, he waved his hands and shouted.

“Cotton curd! ”

Maybe a visit is some kind of visit. Sessions were very tasty and tangerines were also my favorite food.

Tangerine looked at him and asked.

“Papa, do you eat all the time? ”

* * *

Im Jae-hee and Khan started walking the streets after eating. Im Ji-hee seemed to be in such danger that the wind blew her away.

I walked like that.

“...... ”

Khan sighs as he looks at Im Ja-hee, then takes a step.

Slowly.

Walk.

Walk.

Walking again.

It's walking again.

About an hour and a half after that, the Khan asked.

“Hey......”

“Huh?"

“Where are we going? ”

“Oh, let's go home. ”

“Home……"

I was already at the end of the Seogdaemun Gate. The compartment carefully asked again.

“Where's home? ”

“Oh, we're almost there. ”

Khan glances back for a moment.

“You've been walking home for an hour and a half? ”

“Yes. I walk all the time. Walking around thinking things like that. ”

“...... ”

The column tilts its head.

“Don't you know anything about taxis or buses? ”

“My motto is not to take a taxi. It's good to be able to walk again and exercise and think. ”

Khan was able to predict that this journey would not be easy.

Im Ja-hee and Khan stopped in front of a large house.

“It's a big house. ”

“Thank you. Shall we come in? ”

“Yes......”

The column moves with a reluctant face.

Im Ji-hee's house was overall spacious, there was not much inside, but it was cool.

Forty-five square feet of space was just a big desk with computers, two chairs, and a refrigerator.

The Khan looks around the house, unable to adapt to the strange atmosphere.

Here you go.

First, let's take a look at the fridge.

I immediately felt something was wrong with the compartment that opened the refrigerator. Inside, it was just bananas.

“Bananas?”

“Eat instead of rice. ”

What about the freezer?

In the freezer room, frozen fried rice was wrapped in plastic and placed in a pile.

“Fried rice......? ”

“That's a specialty sometimes. I bought it at the supermarket at a 90% discount. Because it's not popular, it sells in trenches, so it's much cheaper than rice. ”

“Oh… I see. ”

“Well, then I'll get to work. Let's do what we have to do. Apparently, the new composition hasn't been working out so well. If there's anything I can do to help, I'll help. ”

Im Ji-hee sat in front of a computer chair with a good smile.

“...... ”

He is one of the few people who knows Khan is a cartoonist. Khan sighs deeply and pulls out his notebook and pencil, sitting across from him.

Hold still.

Time passed.

Time passed very slowly, gradually. Im Ji-hee drank a lot of water and was working on the computer for a while.

One afternoon.

Since I had breakfast at 6 a.m., I suddenly asked the hungry car.

“What about our food? ”

“Huh? Bob? I only eat one meal a day...... Then eat a banana. ”

Bananas.

It's just a snack, I never thought of it as a meal. Khan sighs and enters the bathroom.

I pee, I drop water, and it's weird to go down. Should I say no malt?

You open the door behind the toilet and notice that there are two bricks inside where the water is full.

“Hey, Im Ji-hee! Here's a brick! Should I take it off?”

“No! I need some water to put it in! ”

“...... ”

Strange was not the only thing.

“Im Jae-hee! Light it up in the dark! ”

“No! There's no electricity in my house! ”

When I think about it, refrigerators and computers were moving with horsepower.

“Im Jae-hee! There's a draft coming from the window! ”

“It's okay! It's good as air! ”

“Aren't you cold? ”

As Khan speaks, he loses his word as he looks at the sleeping bag.

* * *

Day three.

Khan has decided to escape. Then he steps out of the way, gets caught by Echo and goes back.

A week.

Somehow it became a state of terror. I couldn't tolerate three bananas a day, so Im Ji-hee scolded me after eating two.

Tangerine came to visit.

Tangerine, I brought a box of chicken and a box of chocolate pies in one hand, but it was so nice to meet you.

Tangerine was disappointed that the visit was not a meal. Khan ate all the chocolate pie because he wanted it so badly.

However, the chicken was shared with Im Ji-hee, but he ate a single piece and stopped to get full. After eating a bunch of chocolate pies, I didn't even want to go to the refrigerator.

This week.

Khan, somehow, became obsessed with Im Ji-hee's life. Now, three bananas can last a day.

There was still chicken in the fridge.

Three weeks.

Thinking about it, this life doesn't seem so bad either. I got to know Im Ji-hee and spent a day having conversations like this.

A month at last.

Khan was finally able to escape Im Ja-hee's hell. Khan always asked what he had been curious about before he left his house.

“Excuse me.”

“Huh?"

“Im Jae Hee thinks she makes a lot of money, why does she live like this? Isn't it nice to spend some money? ”

Im Ji-hee smiled nicely.

“Yeah. I wish. It's not easy to break a habit. ”

“...... What do I spend all my money on? ”

“We save up, we send it home. Oh, I was just leaving. Do you want to come with me? ”

The column nods at the sound of a tremor.

Im Ji-hee and Kahn started walking again.

“I'm going to get something to eat, and I'm going to buy some clothes. ”

After saying that, Im Ji-hee stopped by the market and really started spending money like water. After buying so much food, including chicken or pizza, I wiped my clothes for my children.

“...... ”

Then walk again.

After two hours of walking, they were able to arrive at Hongdae Kindergarten.

[angelic nursery]

A faint sign and an old building caught my eye. Im Ji-hee smiled as she pointed to the place.

“That's where I'm from. I was independent when I was a kid, and my caring habits got the best of me. That's the archery, and it doesn't heal when you know it's been intertwined. ”

He entered the nursing home, saying as if he was embarrassed.

- It's Uncle Zahee!

- Mister!

The children of the orphanage rushed to greet him.

“...... ”

Somehow Khan thinks his back looks pretty big, rather than skinny.

“Well, that's not very archetypal. ”

So the last muttered, followed behind him.
