The Novel's Extra (101-200)

Chapter 138 - Final Incident (1)

After clearing the Dungeon, I ate dinner with Kim Suho and returned home.

Beep, beep, beep.

I entered the password and opened the front door. However, Evandel didn't come out to greet me like usual. I could hear voices of two kids having fun.

When I walked inside, wondering if Evandel was mad at me for coming home late, I saw an unexpected guest. Evandel was with a girl I've never seen before.

"Hajin~"

Seeing me, Evandel smiled brightly and waved her hand. Curious, I looked back and forth between Evandel and the pretty girl next to her. The girl introduced herself.

"Hello."

"Uh... hi."

I greeted her and looked at Evandel for an explanation.

Evandel smiled and introduced the girl.

"She's my friend~"

"I'm Yun Haeyeon."

The two children bowed at a 90 degree angle. I couldn't help but smile, looking at their adorable gesture.

"H-Hello. You must be the friend Evandel talked about before."

"Un! Haeyeon said her parents are busy tonight, so I told her she could eat dinner at my place!"

"Oh? What did you order?"

"Haeyeon is giving it a go!"

"Giving it a go?"

Evandel giggled, while Haeyeon sheepishly looked down and scratched her cheek.

"Yep, Haeyeon says she never ordered food before."

"Oh..."

For children, everything was a challenge. Now that I think about it, I had trouble ordering food when I was 5 too.

"But don't order anything. Since your friend is here, I'll cook tonight."

"Wow, really?!"

Evandel's face turned brighter.

Cooking was one of the skills I acquired with Dexterity. As long as I knew the recipe, I could mimic most of what professional chefs did on TV. Evandel was really surprised when I first showed her.

"Alright, then wait just a bit."

I opened the fridge. There were more than enough ingredients.

"What do you want to eat?"

"I—"

"I'm asking Haeyeon."

"...."

Guest first.

Evandel pouted but she quickly went back to smiling when I patted her.

"I'm... fine with anything...."

"Steak please!"

Evandel's eyes sparkled.

"Haeyeon, are you okay with steak?"

"Yes, I like it."

"Good."

I took out four pieces of beef sirloin and some seasoning.

Three of them were for Evandel, and the other was for Haeyeon and Hayang.

"Can I watch you cook?"

"Sure."

I began to cook under the curious eyes of two children.

Tak, tak, tak— I quickly chopped up some paprika and onions.
