Chapter 25
"Is it really that good?"
"You'll know if you try it."
Tae-seo scooped up a spoonful of bibimbap, filling it to the brim. When he had asked to stop somewhere on the way, Se-heon had wondered if he was craving something, and apparently, this restaurant’s bibimbap was delicious. So, he had packed two servings according to Tae-seo’s preference.
Kang Se-heon was gradually getting used to the sight of Tae-seo eating like a squirrel stuffing its cheeks with acorns.
"You seem to like filling your mouth completely when you eat."
"...I should get some dumplings next time."
"Yeah, sure. Eat a lot and grow big."
Since Tae-seo thought of dumplings the moment he mentioned stuffing his mouth, Se-heon figured there was no point in continuing the conversation and leaned back against his seat. Even so, watching Tae-seo eat so eagerly wasn’t unpleasant.
Se-heon planned to stay seated until Tae-seo finished eating, but a vibration from his lap interrupted the moment. He took out his phone—Jin Gyu-min was calling. Se-heon hesitated. Should he take it inside the room, or just answer it here? It was probably about Tae-seo anyway, so there was no need to step away. He put the phone to his ear.
"Talk."
[You’ll need to bring him in again. The results show he needs a few additional tests.]
Before the first check-up, Gyu-min had already mentioned that there might be extra tests needed. He was saying the same thing now, but somehow, it felt heavier. Se-heon ran a hand over his forehead, trying to suppress his frown, but the slight furrow of his brows betrayed him.
