Chapter 174
The incident unfolded as follows:
Last night, Yong-Yong was curled up in bed, enjoying a deep and blissful sleep. That is, until Yoon-Hee, tossing and turning in her sleep, unintentionally shoved him off. Yong-Yong, who had been dreaming of savoring a heavenly bowl of braised short ribs, was jolted awake as he hit the floor like a pill bug.
“No, no! This can’t be happening!” Yong-Yong cried, trying to deny reality.
Hoping to re-enter his delicious dream, Yong-Yong tried to fall asleep on the cold floor. But it was no use. The same dream didn’t return, and for the first time in his life, Yong-Yong experienced a moment of profound disillusionment about his living situation.
The bed wasn’t small by any means, but it was a bit cramped for five to share.
“Sigh...”

A typical Korean dining table consists of one main dish, several side dishes, and soup. The main dish, naturally, the most delicious item on the table, often features meat. This was why Yong-Yong particularly loved main dishes.
“Time for seconds, hehe...” Yong-Yong’s smile gradually faded.
Unlike the other side dishes, today’s main dish—duck bulgogi—was completely gone. He had tried to make it last by piling his rice high and mixing in only a small portion of duck bulgogi. As a result, Yong-Yong ended up eating far less of the main dish than he had wanted.
“Yong-Yong, do you want more?” Yoon-Hee extended her hand, gesturing that she would serve him more rice if he handed over his bowl.
Still hungry, Yong-Yong was ready for another helping. After all, her cooking was exceptional. While it wasn’t the elaborate cuisine of a five-star chef, her home-cooked meals were unmatched in his eyes.
