Taehyung, craving meat for the first time in a while, calls Hanbit and they decide to go out for dinner. They decide to meet in front of the office.Eun was waiting for Hanbit. While waiting for Hanbit, a man wandered into Taehyung's office. He was tall, slender, and handsome with distinct features. Judging by the camera slung over his shoulder, he was likely a colleague of Hanbit's. In short, he was probably a KBC reporter, like Hanbit.
“Who are you? Have you come to my office?”
The man who looked at Taehyung in response to Taehyung's question asks.
“Is this Mr. Kim Taehyung’s office?”
“That’s right, but what brings you here?”
“Where is Seo Hanbit?”
Taehyung wondered how on earth she'd found this place. Hanbit seemed like the type of person who didn't usually talk about her work.
“I don’t know why you’re looking for Seo Han-bit here, but I don’t know who you are, so I don’t think there’s any reason to tell you.”
After Taehyung finished speaking, Hanbit's car stopped next to them.
“Taehyung, get on.”
Hanbit rolled down the window and told Taehyung to get in. Then, she noticed a man standing next to Taehyung. Then, she looked at the man with surprised eyes and said,
“Jeon Jungkook? Why are you here?”
As Taehyung deduced, this man was Hanbit's colleague and junior.
“My older sister didn’t come to work for a long time, so I went to look for her myself.
“You’re here.”
“I’ll go back today and talk about it tomorrow.”
Jeongguk, who showed a very sad expression at Hanbit's words, looked at her with bright eyes and said:
“I’ve been wandering around all day looking for that older sister, and you’re just going to let her go like this…?”
“So what do you want from me?”
Jungkook smiled brightly as if he had finally heard the question he wanted to hear.
“Senior, please buy me food. If possible, meat.”
I was taken aback by Hanbit's confident stance. Furthermore, I felt sorry for Taehyung, who stood there, unable to join in on their conversation.
“Haa... Taehyung, if it’s okay with you, can I take my junior with me?”
Hanbit almost blurted out an apology, but she swallowed it back. She almost gave Taehyung his wish.
The kind Taehyung readily agreed to Hanbit's request. So Taehyung sat in the front seat and Jeongguk sat in the back seat.
“Sister, isn’t it hard to drive with your unused right hand?
“Should I do it?”
“He told me to call him ‘senior’, not ‘noona.’ And I
“It’s okay, just go quietly.”
Taehyung was a bit envious of Jungkook, who offered to drive for him. He wanted to be of some help to Hanbit, but without a driver's license, he couldn't even drive for her. Taehyung felt pathetic, not knowing much and not being good at anything.
Hanbit always took Taehyung to restaurants, but this time they went to a meat restaurant Taehyung recommended. Since there were three of them, they ordered three servings of pork belly. Three bowls of rice and soybean paste stew came as a service.
Taehyung decided to talk comfortably to Jungkook and Jungkook decided to call Taehyung hyung.
“Brother, I’ll grill the meat.”
“No. I, as the older brother, should grill the meat.”
Hanbit is so tired of the meaningless war of nerves between the two people, who are both trying to grill meat.
“Both of you, stop. I’ll grill the meat.”
At Hanbit's force, both men closed their mouths and sat still.
“It’s finally quieter now.”
Hanbit smiled in satisfaction at the two men's silence, then began grilling pork belly. The mouthwatering sound of the grilling made Taehyung and Jungkook, already hungry, whet their appetites.
It was Taehyung's first time eating meat with someone else, laughing and chatting. Having never made a single friend because he was trying to become a detective, Taehyung was incredibly happy in this moment. It might have been ordinary to some, but it was a precious moment for others.
