Absolute Advantage - Chapter 26.2

When she got home, she remembered staying up all night in the study room because she was working. As she stood up, she saw a white ceiling at the end…….

‘I think I lost my mind.’

Haewon pressed down on the throbbing temple.

‘Ah. Is it Bora?’

Bora was the only one who knew the house password.

Haewon was always working, and Bora, raising a child alone, took care of her like a mother. She told her to go on vacation with her child once the work was done.

‘How could I trouble her?’

Did she cook? By the way, it was the weekend, so her child would have come along, but the child’s voice was not heard.

Haewon opened the door without being wary.

“Bora…”

Her mouth, calling for the expected one, was shut tight.

Haewon made eye contact with a man who was crouching in the living room. The man was so stiff like a cat that accidentally broke a vase. No, he was so huge that he looked like a black leopard was lying there.

The black leopard was Adam.

“Ah…”

Adam rolled his eyes and sighed a little. In front of him were a bunch of empty plastic side dishes scattered around.

“Did you wake up?”

Then Adam smiled and greeted her.

Haewon’s eyes widened at that shameless look. She took a deep breath to calm her mind, and the smell of fragrant oil floating in the air was awakened.

“What are you doing here…….”

There was nothing to ask.

Plastic cans of side dishes lined up on the Irish counter. In addition, there was a bubbling sound in the pot above the induction.

“The refrigerator was empty, so I was making side dishes.”

Adam added and stood up, stacking empty barrels one by one in his hand.

Haewon’s mind went blank again.

She has no idea where to start. How did you get in here, why did you check inside the refrigerator? Side dishes? Did you make it all yourself? When did you go grocery shopping?

“The ingredients available.”

Adam read out loud which complicated the Haewon’s inner self .

“Do you want me to make you a meal? I even made porridge. It takes a while to reheat the porridge.”

Adam opened the drawer on the sink and sorted out the empty cans. And the sesame seeds are sprinkled on the side dishes placed on the counter, and this series of movements was natural as if he was home.

“Ah, the soup is all boiled.”

Adam stood before the induction and tasted the soup with a spoonful. Hae-won looked at it from afar.

“Will you come and taste it?”

Adam asked, leaning toward Haewon.

Only then, Hae-won strode toward the counter like a person released from hibernation. She wasn’t trying to taste it.

“What are you doing here?”

Growl.

She asked him, but there was a loud noise somewhere.

Hae-won, who realized that it was the sound from her stomach, blushed and was at a loss. It’s time to get angry, but her body roared with hunger.

“Well, that’s…. So.”

Haewon spoke gibberish.

It is irresistible. The smell of fragrant side dishes and the smell of freshly cooked rice irritated her nasal passages, so there was nothing she could do about it. Every time she took a breath, saliva pooled in her mouth.

Adam laughed at Haewon.

“The food would get cold.”

“…….”

“I won’t run away.”

“…….”

Adam put his hand on Haewon’s ashamed waist and dragged her to the table. Adam, who sat Haewon down, wandered around the kitchen naturally as if it’s his own house to set the table.

He was wearing a black turtleneck and gray pants today. The top is designed to adhere to the body, so the chest is exceptionally prominent. No matter how she looked at it, he was supposed to be sitting in front of the office desk, not in the kitchen.

While Hae-won carefully observed him, Adam put the transferred side dishes on the table. Fresh side dishes were placed in a snow-white porcelain bowl.

“Did I have a bowl like this at home?”

When Hae-won asked while moving her gaze at the bowl, Adam, who met her eyes, only smiled slowly. And he finished setting the spoon and chopsticks next to the rice bowl and soup bowl with steam coming up.

The table was set up instantly like a king’s meal. On top of white rice, there was beef radish soup, various seasoned vegetables with oil with sesame seeds were sprinkled in abundance.

Beautifully cut egg rolls were placed on a long plate in bite-size pieces. And on another plate of the same size, a mackerel with a crispy skin lying down.

“I didn’t bring these yet.”

Adam brought sesame seeds, put pork tenderloin, and sprinkled them on boiled quail eggs. Haewon felt like a twisted pepper at the moment.

She also had no immunity in this situation. If someone cooks side dishes for her or prepares a meal for her.

Even when she lived with her father.

As Hae-won sat silently, Adam picked up a large chunk of meat and placed t it on the rice. The marinaded meat was moistened the white rice.

“Haewon, take a bite.”

Despite Adam’s recommendation, Haewon remained silent.

No matter how hungry they were, how many people could afford to eat in this situation? Then Adam rummaged through the refrigerator.
