Cooking Genius With God

Although each other talked to each other and ate, of course, everyone's eyes were on one place.

Sowon, the star of today'sowon.

You didn't even look at me. He murmured in a rather small voice.

I know. It's amazing.

Soon, Haru and Yumi met eyes as if they had waited.

As the day nodded, Yumi stepped out.

First of all, it's as casual as possible.

Make it as natural as possible. So that he doesn't get surprised.

"Sowon, what should we do now? You and Haru were supposed to help me. Let's do what we want to do one by one."

There were so many things Sowon wanted to do.

Starting with just going to an amusement park, there were some things that were very difficult, such as dating and taking the CSAT.

At first, I thought that in order to relieve Sowon's resentment, I would have to fulfill all the things he had never done.

But there were too many wishes. It was going to take too long.

Moreover, it was almost impossible to fulfill a wish like taking the CSAT.

It wasn't like Sua and Seo Ah-ne were involved in the resentment of the living and the dead.

Suane said her younger brother was able to look at the disclosure for her, but Sowon was the only child.

I couldn't think of any way to do it.

That's why I was worried about Yumi, but I didn't think so one day.

It was just a hunch.

The boss's persimmon. The chef's persimmon.

Sowon seemed to realize something while eating jajangmyeon.

I didn't know what it was, but I didn't doubt it would be told soon.

"You said you didn't take the college entrance exam, did you? Because of illness."

I thought I wouldn't be able to see it. Haru. Do you know what I felt unfair about? I died a week before the college entrance exam. Do you know what my wish was then?

"What was it?"

I was going to die after the college entrance exam. It's just, that way, I think it'll be less unfair. My life that I couldn't enjoy and only studied.

Before, Sowon told me a similar story.

That he, as a high school student, suddenly got cancer and eventually lost what he wanted to achieve.

But... so I was really thankful when Haru said he would help me. I was really excited. Finally, I'm going to play in this way that I couldn't. I was really excited and happy.

In a way, it's a matter.

Of course you'll be happy. No wonder I'm happy.

I've finally achieved what I've been hoping for.

by the way

But when I tried it.

I felt it with my body.

We had a lot of fun at the amusement park. Snacks that I eat with my brother and sister, sausages, and jajangmyeon. They all looked so delicious. But. After eating it myself. Why... Why is it so...….

The grim reaper, who was sitting next to Sowon, turned his head slightly.

It wasn't because I didn't want to hear the story or Sowon didn't want to see it.

She was biting her lower lip slightly. As if you don't want to show your face.

"Doesn't it taste good?"

No, it's delicious. It's delicious. It shouldn't be delicious. It's delicious. It's just, I don't know if it's supposed to be this good.

"Sowon..."

Sowon was obviously confused.

As if he had just died.

What you feel, what you think. And what you want. It was the expression of an unknown person.

Yumi knew that feeling very well.Because she's been through similar things.

At least everyone in this restaurant did.

Looking at one desired goal, galloping with everything on the line, falling apart without reaching the end.

Yumi thought suddenly.

As Haru said, when you make bad jajangmyeon like amusement park style. So I thought you were annoyed.

I didn't feel good for some reason. I just thought it was because he made a bad dish on purpose, but it wasn't.

Perhaps he unconsciously equated himself with a bowl of jajangmyeon that he lacked a lot.

But Yumi was fine.

She was incomplete, but she was next to me for a day.

I thought it was okay because there was someone who could fill in his shortcomings.

Just like Chef Choi Han-seok did to Haru.

What about Sowon?

Hey, hey. Grim Reaper. I...…. It's so unfair. It's just, I don't know why. It's all in vain. This is. It's not good. Oppa and unni, if you reach out and do what you want to do. What's the point of course.

Soon he couldn't stand his emotions anymore.

Still, tears like chicken poo flowed down over the almost empty jajangmyeon and sweet and sour pork bowls.

And yet Sowon didn't cry out loud. Tears have already been shed to the point of boredom.

You know you can't do this. If you don't do this. The life I've lived in so far. Studying like crazy and giving up a lot of things. It's just, it all seems to disappear meaninglessly. I'm so scared of it...….

"Sowon."

Someone took Sowon's hand, who was already wandering around without seeing anything.

When I wiped tears with my right hand and opened my eyes, Yumi was there.

Yumi's eyes were teary for some reason.

And yet he didn't cry the same as himself.

"No, it doesn't mean nothing. It won't disappear. Sowon."

-But...

"You just said it yourself. This jajangmyeon that Haru and I made. What did you say it tasted like?

It's not good...…. It's very delicious.

"Of course, this jajangmyeon is very meaningful to you. It was really good. I was really looking forward to it. It even tasted like that."

Nodding.

Sowon, exhausted, nodded instead of answering.

The grim reaper still turned his head, and Haru and Choi Han-seok were just looking at Yumi and Sowon.

A day suddenly crossed my mind.

I have to work hard too. If you don't want to catch up with Yumi.'

He's as talented as he is. Yumi is.

She asked, looking into Sowon's eyes.

"Well, isn't this bad jajangmyeon very meaningful? To a person named Sowon. And to everyone who has memories of eating jajangmyeon at the amusement park. Don't that right?"

-That's... -That's right, sister.

"So don't say that from now on. 'Cause you're such a wonderful person.'

-……actually.

Actually, there was something else you wanted to say.

Sowon said what she wanted to eat the most.

When I first met Haru. You said that. What do you want to eat? If you tell me what you want to eat the most, I'll make it for you

"Well, it was. That's our restaurant."

We used to call it canned beer. Actually, there was a food I really wanted to eat.

"What is it? Can you tell me?”

- College entrance exam lunch box. The lunch box that everyone else eats. A once-in-a-lifetime meal. I wanted to eat that. Ever since I was in the hospital.It's a lunch box for the college entrance exam.

Obviously, it was a food that a day couldn't make.

There was no reason why Sowon didn't say anything.

The lunch box for the college entrance exam isn't something that'

Some houses could serve abalone porridge, others could just pack lunch as a side dish.

Someone takes the curry.

Some could have solved fried rice, and even some could have solved it at a convenience store or gimbap paradise near the test site.

One meal in one's life, probably only once. One meal in one's life, Sowon had hoped for so much.

In a way, it was natural that the CSAT lunch box was Sowon's regret.

And at the same time, it's impossible for a day to make it.

but

-By the way... -By the way...…. I think I've eaten it now. lunchbox

Because a day couldn't make it, Sowon made it.

The lunch box on the day of the college entrance exam was like that.

It didn't matter what was in the lunchbox. No, it didn't have to be a lunch box in the first place.

Meaning in one bowl, things on a plate. It was important.

In that sense, it's done with this bowl.

Yumi put a lot of things in a bowl of jajangmyeon, and Sowon chewed and swallowed it.

So

"Oh, my. Since I met you guys, I sometimes feel this way. There's a lot of ways ghosts can be holy. And."

"There will be more. You have to make it like that. That's my job."

"You said you were a cook."

"That's what cooks do, isn't it?”

"You're a good talker."

The grim reaper, who was turning his head, jumped to his feet with a sigh.

I've been wondering why, but now I see mascara smudged around my eyes.

It seemed to have been repainted somehow, but it still looked a little smudged.

It was amazing.

This is really the first time the Grim Reaper has done this.

No, even she's faced thousands or tens of thousands of ghosts and their resentments so far.

Why, now?

But it didn't bother me much.

That's not the point right now.

The grim reaper coughed once and approached the dumb Sowon and held hands.

"Let's go, boy."

-I can't believe you're going... to where?

"The ghost who wandered through the stream has lifted his grudge, so he must go to the next world."

Me, me, the other world?! No! If you go, there's hell.

"There's a hell of a thing. Not everyone is going. You'll be tried seven times if you go. If you pass there, you won't go to hell."

Then what happens?

"A lot of things. You can be reborn as a human being. You can go and rest in a good place, or you can be born the animal you want."

Sowon didn't seem to understand all the words of the grim reaper.

But one thing was for sure.

That Sowon has become a saint.

Yumi's one bowl of black bean noodles and sweet and sour pork became the best food.

"Don't worry. I'm going to a good place."

Sowon will be very fit for trial.

One day, I prepared something for Sowon.

I took out a surprise gift that Haru had hidden.

I knew this would happen, so I made it in advance.

It was just for her that I ordered Yumi to cook, but it was also to buy time for Haru to make gifts for Sowon.

Of course, I just thought of it and made it. The day wasn't so bad to look at.There's no one who doesn't like this handmade thing.

Haru's present was wrapped in a small cloth, and Sowon, who solved it with a puzzled look, shouted, "Wow!"

"What do you think, Sowon?"

Haru oppa....

Sowon couldn't even speak properly.
