Chapter 337
Time passed really quickly, and soon, Do-Jun tore off a page from the calendar. November had arrived before he knew it. Not long ago, the heat of summer had been relentless, but in just a month, people would be bundling up in thick coats as winter’s chill set in.
The TV was tuned to the news channel as usual.
⌜Next story: The Hunter’s Bureau has announced that Behemoth will be entering the eighth floor of the Core this November. Since this will be their first operation after a three-month hiatus, the announcement has sparked global anticipation. Chief Jung Young-Chul of the Hunter’s Bureau stated...⌟
Every major news network, including KBC, was leading with the story of Behemoth’s upcoming mission. They were reporting based on the official documents provided by the Hunter’s Bureau during a press conference held just the day before.
Do-Jun heard his smartphone buzz with an incoming text message. He opened his phone to check the message.
Changshin Daycare: Dear parents, as previously mentioned, today is a shortened day. Since our daycare program will end at 11 AM today, please note that lunch will not be provided. We appreciate your understanding.
Do-Jun realized today would be a busy day. Although he had a day off after his shift duty, there was still much to do. Checking his phone, he opened a portal site. A blog page was already displayed on the screen.
"How to Make Baeksuk”[1]
“Hi everyone! It feels like it’s been a while since I last posted. Today, I’m going to show you how to make a hearty and comforting meal—baeksuk! Now that the weather’s getting colder, don’t you crave a warm, nourishing broth?
“But enough chit-chat—let’s get to the ingredients! The key to my baeksuk is ginseng. I’m sure you all know about the health benefits of ginseng! I’ll also be adding glutinous rice and mung beans...”
Do-Jun took out the ingredients he had prepared earlier. The chicken, kept in the freezer, would thaw naturally over time. The glutinous rice and mung beans needed to soak in water for about two hours.
After using the restroom and washing up, Byeol came out, her face looking fresh and clean. Do-Jun approached her, squeezing a small amount of baby moisturizer onto his fingertip. He dabbed it gently on her cheeks, nose, and forehead, then helped her put on her daycare backpack. Byeol gave Do-Jun a quick kiss on the cheek before heading toward the door. Or at least, she was about to until something on the dining table caught her eye—the chicken for the baeksuk.
