Absolute Advantage Chapter 27.1

What he took out was kimchi.

Could it be that you thought I couldn't eat kimchi because I didn't have it? Haewon was convinced that it might be the case.

“I didn't make kimchi myself, so I don't know if it'll be delicious.”

“Did you really make it yourself? All these side dishes?”

At last, Hae-won opened her mouth.

Adam smiled as he sat next to her, clasped hands.

“I was going to leave the porridge to boil, but Haewon slept longer than I thought.”

She didn't sleep. She fainted. Oh, then it must be Adam who took her to bed. Haewon's mind became complicated.

“When did you learn how to cook?”

Hae-won asked to clear up the mess on her head.

“I've never learned it.”

Adam thought it over and went on.

“Cooking is nothing. I'll prepare the ingredients, season them, stir-fry them, boil them, and that's it.”

Adam smiled cheerfully.

Hearing that he made it himself, I felt sorry for just sitting in front of the table looking like I was going to die. Bob is innocent. Adam's sincerity in preparing this.

Hearing that he even made it himself, she was a little shocked. But the rice was not guilty – Adam had put his sincerity in preparing this.

Haewon picked up the spoon with difficulty. Then she took a spoonful of rice with the meat that Adam had put and took it to her mouth.

At that moment her eyes flashed open.

'It's delicious.'

The seasoning of soybean paste was mixed with the rice, and it easily wrapped around the tongue. Haewon chewed each grain of rice tightly as if savoring it.

Adam watched Haewon quietly.

When he saw Haewon's cheeks chew like a squirrel, he had an urge to press it down with his fingers. Adam suppressed his insidious impulse and this time, he put the stir-fried spinach on top.

“I can eat myself.”

“Hm. You just have to chew and swallow it.”

Adam said he was not willing to accept Haewon's hasty dissuasion.

“Here.”

While Hae-won was chewing after putting another side dish on the rice, Adam looked at her with his chin perched on the back of his hand.

“Haewon, you look so cute when you eat.”

Hae-won almost choked at the sound he spat out. But Adam didn't stop.

“You're good at interviews, you chew well, what can't you do?”

At first, she thought he was being sarcastic, but he wasn't. It seemed like he was trying to relieve her anger of his trespassing by taking advantage of the time she was preoccupied with eating.

“I can't believe I'm going to marry Haewon like this. I'm so happy. ”

Tak.

In the end, Hae-won, who couldn't stand it, put down her chopsticks.

“Well, Adam,”

“What?”

“……I'm going to have an upset stomach.”

“Why?”

Adam asked with an absolute clueless look. In addition, he even looked at Haewon's complexion with worried eyes.

Adam lifted himself, patting Haewon's shoulder lightly.

“I'll get you some water. Eat slowly.”

No, she meant that she was going to get an upset stomach because of him. Haewon swallowed the words that filled her throat.

Perhaps she was possessed by Adam's cunning behavior; she couldn't even say a word. Even if it's an obvious trick.

“Here.”

Adam put the cup down.

The drink is also barley tea, not purified water. Her water bottle wasn't at home either so she sighed deeply and drank it.

The cold water seemed to bring down the reluctant lump that had been placed on the chest. Fortunately, Adam said nothing more.

In that way, Haewon finished her meal.

It's been a long time since she ate a home-cooked meal, so she emptied a bowl without realizing it. She felt lighthearted because of the homely taste.

Maybe it's because she's full and relaxed. Suddenly, She imagined Adam standing in front of a low cooking table and mixing vegetables with his big hands.

She thought that it might be a little cute.

The corners of her mouth went up without realizing it.

Yikes. Haewon hurriedly shook off the scene that came to her mind.

“Did you enjoy your meal?”

“Yes, thanks to you, I ate really well.”

Hae-won said with an awkward smile.

But the smile didn't last long, and they still had things to solve between them.

“Do you want me to make you coffee? Or tea?”

Adam asked calmly as he cleared the empty bowl, and Haewon almost answered naturally. Hae-won closed her half-open mouth.

“Just leave the dishes alone. I'll do it a little later.”

“Well, shall we? I'll be here till evening anyway, so I'll do it with you then.”

Wait. Are you staying until dinner?

Hae-won looked at Adam with his eyes wide open. Adam had the cheek to stare at her, asking if she had anything more to say.
