The Man of Roses

Ep. 6 / You too...

I tried to resist, but there was no reason to, and no way to.

His house looked pretty nice.

It wasn't a particularly large or fancy interior, but it was a modern house that made good use of the space.

Just sit here,

Just wait a little bit.

Contrary to his earlier words, he seemed to not be letting go of the recipe book he had been holding.

His head, with his back to my view, kept tilting, and no matter how long it took him to cut a block of tofu, I wanted to go over and help him.

I think it took about an hour.

Egg rolls and white rice in soybean paste stew, these were dishes that could be prepared in 20 minutes at my parents' house.

I couldn't help but smile at the tense expression on his face that I had never seen before.

Uh.. why, don't you like this kind of thing?

서예린

I don't like it, but I really like home-cooked meals.

김태형

Home cooked meals?

Oh, that's right. You, who are 1,230 years old, may not know this, but it's something that all young people these days know.

He had an expression on his face that seemed to say something was missing.

Still, I'm a bit young for this side,

Am I behind the times?

After smiling again at his words, he picked up his spoon and scooped up a spoonful of soybean paste and brought it to his mouth.

Honestly, I didn't have high expectations. It tasted similar to what I used to eat at home, inversely proportional to my time.

His expression, as if saying, 'Please tell me it's delicious,' was so cute and funny at the same time.

Another smile appeared on my face without me realizing it, and he looked at me with anxious eyes.

김태형

The taste... huh, is it not that great?

서예린

No, it's really delicious.

서예린

Exactly my style,

김태형

But why are you smiling?

서예린

Food is my style too.

서예린

I think you're my style too.
