No matter how many times I washed my eyes, one was right.

A high school student who visited a restaurant every night to eat deliciously and made me live another day in return.

A little girl stood in front of an opaque window in the driver's restaurant, staring blankly somewhere inside the restaurant.

Wearing a worn-out school uniform as usual.

But one day I was able to feel it.

That one expression is extraordinary.

Probably, the fact that there's someone in here that's related to one grudge.

"Seo, sir. I'll be right back. Now that everyone's done eating. Is that okay?

"Huh? Uh, yeah. It's okay, but. What's the matter?”

"It's nothing...I just got a call from Chef Park Joohyuk. Hehe."

"What? Is it Chef Park Joo-hyuk's call? You must have contacted me to see if I'm doing well. All right, go get it."

"Yes, thank you! Of course."

I'm sorry to Park Joo-hyuk, but I sold his name for a while.

He quickly ran out of the restaurant and approached where Hana was standing.

Closer to one, she didn't notice.

In the end, a worse day slapped me on the shoulder.

Only then will one face turn around. I found a day and opened my eyes wide.

Ha, Haru? Why are you here?

"I want to ask you that. We regularly serve meals in oral fairy tales, and this volunteer area was here in New Town. No, by the way. Hana, you didn't even know I was there? They were obviously serving over there.”

I didn't even know you were concentrating on something else. I'm sorry.

"No, well, don't be sorry. Hana, who have you been looking at like that?”

Carefully, I asked what I've been really curious about.

One mouth closed to a slightly straightforward question, and his head slowly went down.

One that takes a while.

If you were Haru...….

Mumbling so small that Haru could not hear, he peeked up and pointed at the two people in the restaurant.

Two people happily eating.

Haru was a grandmother and young grandson who showed me around earlier.

"They're...….”

This is my grandmother Kang Ok Ja Soon Ja. In front of us is Daehan. This is Lee Daehan's younger brother.

"It was your grandmother and brother. You two."

From the first time I saw one here, I expected this to happen.

I had a hunch it would be like this somewhere.

But facing the reality, Haru was different from what he had imagined.

The weight, the pressure.

Of course, what the dead miss the most is the family they left behind in this world.

Even more so if the deceased is a high school girl at the age of blooming, and the only family left behind is a poor grandmother and a young brother.

How did it feel to watch the family that was left behind eat in a place like this among the homeless?

One day I couldn't dare imagine.

Clenching his weakly trembling hands, one slowly opened his mouth.

I missed you so much, but I couldn't see you before. Even though I wandered through the alley every day. But today, I have a feeling that I'm going to be here. So I came here and there was my grandmother and Daehan.

"Well, Hana, you ate every night and walked around the alley...Were you trying to find your family?

At the question of the day, one nodded slowly.I missed my family every night, but I couldn't find them.

But I barely found it today, and I was looking out the door like this.

But something was off.

"No, wait a minute. But what do you mean you couldn't find your family? You can just go home. No matter how hard you work, both of you would have been at home by the time you came to our restaurant.”

If you think about it a little bit, it was natural.

If you want to see your family, you can go home.

If the family is an old-age grandmother and a young boy who hasn't even entered elementary school yet, there's no reason to stay outside the house late at night after 12 o'clock.

But one shook his head for granted.

The clenched hands are now trembling.

As if squeezing out forcefully, one by one spewed out a letter by letter.

-But I'd love to...…. I can't go home. The house I was living in collapsed. It's completely gone. I couldn't find a house.

"……What?"

One of the faces was grimly distorted.

* * *

"Oh, my God, Haru. Why are you talking on the phone for so long? There's a sudden increase in work without you, right? I thought I was going to die."

"Ahaha...…I'm sorry, sir. It just happened to be a little longer."

A few minutes later.

The senior, who found a day when he came back into the restaurant, rushed to complain.

As Haru was taking it in moderation with a sorry heart, he found a plastic bag in Haru's hands and asked.

"Huh? By the way, what's that? Is it ice cream?”

"Oh, yes, it's ice cream. You worked hard with our students today, so everyone can eat. I bought enough."

"Hey, that's a different story! I was going to be an oldie for making you suffer. How can you do that to such a witty junior? Guys, come here! Chef Haru brought ice cream!"

The students, who were a little tired of the word ice cream, brightened up at once.

Rushing to Haru's side, he searched the envelope with the happiest expression in the world.

"Oh, ice cream?"

"Chef Haru is the best!"

"Wow, that's my favorite squirt! Wow, Chef Haru has such a good sense!

Fortunately, it seemed to suit the students' tastes.

Haru, who was watching them suck up the cool ice cream deliciously, picked up two ice creams in the envelope.

"What, are you giving it to me? Hey, thank you for the meal Haru...Is …?"

After passing by a senior who was mistaken for his own good.

I headed to Kang Ok-soon and Dae-han, who were slowly finishing their meals.

"Excuse me, sir. Eat this, too. I bought enough ice cream."

For grandmother Kang Oksoon, give her a carp tamanko.

For Daehan, it's a piece of cake.

Both, one of them told me.

It's an ice cream that my grandmother and younger brother liked so much.

Haru, I have a favor to ask you. Carp Tamanko and Squirtle. My family really liked it. Just once. Can you buy it for me?’

How am I supposed to say this holding Haru's hand?

Eventually, Haru went to a nearby supermarket and swept the ice cream.

"Oh, my God! Squirtle!"

Daehan, wearing a T-shirt with Taekwon V on it, picked up the turtle egg that was out of the day as if he was excited.

I grabbed the squirt with my brackish hands and ate it deliciously.

"Grandma, you should eat, too. I thought you'd like this ice cream.""Well... thank you. It's my favorite. How did you know that you bought it, bachelor.

"Well, my grandmother likes this the most, too. So. Hehe."

"Thank you very much, good boy."

Did you notice?

I don't think that's gonna happen.

Grandmother Kang Ok-soon took the carp tamanko, which seemed to be meaningful for a day.

After patting Daehan's head, who enjoyed eating Squirtle, he peeled the skin off the ice cream while looking at the ceiling of the restaurant.

"Sweet, sweet."

Grandmother eating ice cream looking at the empty ceiling.

Like that, the first service of the day was over.

Of course, just because people finish eating doesn't mean it's over.

There's always a final boss at the end of the meal.

After washing the piled-up dishes, organizing the kitchen, and even cleaning the restaurant you lent me, the service was finally over.

"Chef Haru, I had a lot of fun today!"

"I've learned a lot, sir! Thank you so much!"

"Hey, who do you think you are?"

"What? I'm going into oral fairy tales, too. I'm going to go cook like chef Haru."

"You must be a hell of a man. Anyway, I learned a lot! Thank you!"

Students who say thank you several times and get on the bus with their heads down.

I'm definitely a senior, but I waved my hand until I couldn't see the bus one day, leaving behind the senior chef's whispers that he was disappointed that the children only talked about it for a day.

"Oh, well, whatever! Haru, you did a great job today. Honestly, I was a bit worried. You did a great job cooking, too! Good for you, man."

"What? I was able to do it all thanks to you."

"Yes, yes. Oh, and by the way. Why don't we go have a little after party? How about pork belly and some wine? Call?"

"Oh, well, I have an appointment this evening...…. I'm sorry."

"Oh, well, there's nothing we can do about it. Jeup, I'm gonna go home and have a beer with my wife. Haru, you did a great job too. Goodbye, see you tomorrow!"

He said he had an appointment in moderation, and sent his senior first.

One day around 9 p.m.

A day was left alone in New Town, where darkness had fallen.

No, I wasn't alone, to be exact.

There was one standing next to him coyly.

"Come on, Hana. What should I do now?"

Now that it's like this, I can't just go back.

I have been working hard in business for the past few days, and the rest of my life has become quite relaxed as I consecrated my grandmother.

I could spend a day somewhere else.

Thinking so, I decided to find a house for you.

For your information, I couldn't ask my grandmother and Daehan directly.

I didn't know what would happen when volunteers asked me about my home address out of course.

"Well, why don't we go to your old home first?"

-Yes... -Okay.

One with a small nod.

Two people started walking slowly.

In Newtown, there were many apartments and buildings that had just begun construction, and steel bars were lined up here and there.

Even the sparsely lined streetlights were the only source of light in the alley, so the atmosphere was really dreary.

Even a day as a burly adult man is scary and dangerous.

I wondered if a high school girl could come to a place like this every night, and nodded, saying it would be okay if it was a ghost.

It's here. My house.

How long did he walk like that?

One step ahead of the day stopped towering.One that introduces this 'building' as his home.

"This is... your house?"

But one day I couldn't help asking back.

Because I couldn't believe a word.

What he's looking at with his own eyes.

Because I couldn't believe it was Hana's family home until a few months ago.

But one was to stay put.

She nodded, clasping the hand of the day.

Yes, it's my house.

I said home.

With collapsed steel bars and paint painted characters.

But now it's a shattered stone wall, and this rubble of cement shattering.

Home, said Hana, looking at the day.

I came here as a ghost after I died, and my house changed like this. My grandmother and Daehan moved somewhere else, but I didn't know where it was.…. I can't go home.

Now I know for sure.

Why Hana couldn't find her own house.

The house was shattered, and it was strange to find it here.

One clasped the hand of the day.

Looked at the day with teary eyes and said quietly.

Haru oppa. Well, I want to go home. I need to see how Daehan and grandma are doing. So, please. Please... let me go back home. I'll do anything. I'll do everything except pay you.

"No."

-...what?

"You don't have to say that. You don't have to do anything.”

I thought it was all done.

Now that I have seen this with my eyes, how can I turn around after being born as a human being?

Haru, who made up his mind, opened his mouth looking at one.

"Don't worry. I'll let you go back home."

-Haru oppa...….

"So let's go back to the restaurant. Are you hungry? I'll make you something delicious.”

People have to eat.

No matter how sad, life is hard.

Especially when you're about to do something big like now.

Holding one hand, I headed for the oral fairy tale.
