I regret liking it

1. Handsome employee

• It proceeds from the author's point of view.

It was not long after the female protagonist started living alone.

김여주

Hmm... what should I buy and eat today?

While I was seriously considering what to eat for lunch,

Yeoju sees a post about a new rice bowl restaurant opening nearby.

김여주

(Surprised) Wow! A rice bowl?

김여주

My favorite rice bowl?!

김여주

(Looking at the map) Oh, there's a new one here. It's so close.

Yeoju waited for the opening day of the rice bowl restaurant.

And then the long-awaited opening day of the rice bowl restaurant arrived.

The heroine was happy that today, which she had marked on her calendar, she could finally eat rice bowl.

김여주

Ah, I can finally eat rice bowl.

김여주

We have to run right now!

Yeoju quickly got ready and ran to the rice bowl restaurant right at opening time.

Welcome, this is OO Rice Bowl.

...

As soon as the female lead saw the employee greeting her,

I just blankly stared at the staff.

김여주

and...

덮밥집 직원 image

덮밥집 직원

Did you come alone?

김여주

Yes... I'm solo.

덮밥집 직원 image

덮밥집 직원

...yes?

덮밥집 직원 image

덮밥집 직원

...you can sit wherever you are comfortable.

The heroine calmed her trembling heart and sat down nearby.

I smiled to myself as I looked at the kitchen staff and our eyes met.

김여주

...(Hurriedly avoids eye contact.)

덮밥집 직원

Would you like to order?

김여주

...Please give me salmon rice bowl.

덮밥집 직원 image

덮밥집 직원

(Laughs) Okay, I understand. I'll give it to you right away.

김여주

'Wow... why are people so handsome...'

김여주

'This is really my style... I should become a regular here.'

I was looking at the side profile of the employee and his angry arm,

New guests have arrived.

Of course, all the guests seemed surprised by the staff's visuals.

덮밥집 직원 image

덮밥집 직원

Welcome. Are there two of you?

손님

(smiling shyly) Yes.

손님

(in a small voice) He's handsome...

덮밥집 직원 image

덮밥집 직원

yes?

덮밥집 직원 image

덮밥집 직원

(Laughs) You think I'm handsome? Me?

손님

(In a trembling voice) Yes! Even his smile is really handsome.

덮밥집 직원 image

덮밥집 직원

덮밥집 사장 image

덮밥집 사장

Minho, the salmon rice bowl is ready!

덮밥집 직원 image

덮밥집 직원

Hey~ I'll be there soon!

김여주

'What the... you're speaking informally to someone who seems to be the boss?'

김여주

'Are you friends...'

덮밥집 직원 image

덮밥집 직원

(Approaching the female lead) Here's the salmon rice bowl.

덮밥집 직원 image

덮밥집 직원

And this is a service. It's a service we give to our first-time customers.

김여주

Oh, really?

김여주

Thank you. I will enjoy the meal.

덮밥집 직원 image

덮밥집 직원

Please try it and give us a taste review.

김여주

(Laughs) Yes, I will.

김여주

(Eating salmon rice bowl) Hmm~ It's delicious, isn't it?

덮밥집 직원 image

덮밥집 직원

Really?

덮밥집 직원 image

덮밥집 직원

I'm glad it suits your taste.

김여주

It's so delicious that I really want to become a regular.

덮밥집 직원 image

덮밥집 직원

thank you!

Yeoju continued to eat while focusing on the salmon rice bowl.

Yeoju, who came to think that this salmon rice bowl was the best salmon rice bowl.

...After eating everything and paying the bill, the female lead said,

I returned home with regretful steps.

Next time... I want to ask for your number.

Excuse me...?

The female protagonist, who was wondering when she would eat rice bowl again,

Make plans to eat rice bowls soon.

And then another day to go eat rice bowl.

덮밥집 직원 image

덮밥집 직원

Welcome!

덮밥집 직원 image

덮밥집 직원

(Laughs) Huh? First customer! You're back again?

김여주

hello...

덮밥집 직원 image

덮밥집 직원

Did you come alone today?

김여주

yes...!

덮밥집 직원 image

덮밥집 직원

Please sit comfortably and call us when you order.

Yeoju is thinking about trying a different rice bowl today.

김여주

hmm...

Then my eyes go to the table next to me.

Yeo-ju, who saw all the customers praising the staff for being handsome, thought to herself.

김여주

'I guess I can't do it...'

김여주

'It must be hard to find a handsome man...?'

덮밥집 사장 image

덮밥집 사장

Hey? First time customer! Hello.

덮밥집 사장 image

덮밥집 사장

Thank you for coming again.

김여주

(Laughs) Hello.

덮밥집 사장 image

덮밥집 사장

I changed the recipe for the salmon rice bowl I had before a little bit.

덮밥집 사장 image

덮밥집 사장

Could you please give me an evaluation?

김여주

Oh, really?

김여주

Then I guess I'll have to eat it with salmon rice bowl.

Because the salmon rice bowl was delicious before, but it became even more delicious (actually because of the staff's appearance)

The frequency of visiting the rice bowl restaurant in Yeoju has gradually shortened.

So when you feel like you're getting a little closer,

김여주

'Isn't it okay to ask you personal questions now...?'

It was the heroine who gained courage.
