Chapter 364
Do-Jun got off work two hours earlier than usual, so he decided to come home and make some fresh fruit juice. There was still plenty of time until dinner, so he figured he might as well prepare a light snack for the kids. He tossed strawberries, bananas, and milk into the blender, then poured the mixture into individual mugs.
“Here you go. Drink up,” he said, setting the strawberry-banana milkshake on the table with a clink.
He then immediately rinsed out the blender, as he always preferred to clean things right away.
“Thank you for the shake!”
Byeol picked up her mug with both hands and gulped it down. Half of it vanished in a single breath. Yong-Yong also slurped down his portion from a special container. Well, it was better to call it that than a dog bowl. Next to him sat Baal, as stiff as a fresh army recruit, eyeing the others nervously.
“King of Earth, is... this one for me?” he asked cautiously.
“Yeah.”
Baal had three fist-sized lumps swelling on the back of his head. He lifted his mug, which had a slightly thick, pink liquid. He tilted the mug, cautiously letting the milkshake touch his lips. As soon as he got the taste of it, he chugged it down like a madman. It took less than five seconds for the contents to disappear entirely.
“How was that?” Do-Jun asked.
After cleaning the blender, he sat across from Baal. He gently wiped the juice from Byeol’s lips with a tissue. The ever-so-well-mannered Byeol took her mug and placed it in the sink. Watching this, Baal hurried to follow her lead and placed his mug in the sink before returning to his seat.
“It was... truly, truly excellent,” Baal answered.
“I’m glad. Now, I heard you had something to tell me.”
