Chapter 256
Saturday morning, Do-Jun prepared for a trip to the Core. He usually traveled light when heading there. As someone who had ascended to an unparalleled state of being, he neither felt thirst nor hunger even without consuming food or water. All he needed was his SpacePad for jotting down strategies, and he was ready.
Yoon-Hee was well aware of this, yet she couldn’t shake the unease in her heart.
Having woken up late, she cautiously approached him and asked, “F-Father, could you just give me half an hour?”
She gently tugged on the hem of his jacket just as he was about to leave for the Core.
Was there something she wanted to say?
When he asked for the reason, she responded, “I want to pack you some food... I can’t bear the thought of you working so hard while I sit comfortably at home. I’d feel like a failure as a homemaker...”
Honestly, it didn’t matter much to Do-Jun, but given her concern, it seemed right to wait and let her do what would put her mind at ease. Since he hadn’t yet read the morning paper, he decided he might as well pass the time doing that.

The kitchen was busy as Yoon-Hee prepared kimbap for Do-Jun to eat in the Core.
Do-Jun lowered his newspaper for a moment, glancing toward the kitchen. There were all sorts of kimbap, and she was rolling every variety one could find at a kimbap franchise. As the thirty minutes were almost up, she checked the clock and started packing the kimbap, one roll at a time, into lunch boxes.
Yoon-Hee had prepared over ten rolls of kimbap, filling five lunchboxes in total.
“This should be enough,” she said with relief.
