The Homemaker of the Dungeon

Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 56

But Kang Jin-hyeon didn’t care and said everything he had to say until the end.

“Heena, why did you reject my heart and only accept Hunter Woo Min-ah?”

His remarks until the end were bizarre.

…Anyway, as I roughly understood it, the gist was this.

When asked to come as his personal chef, he flatly refused, but it seemed like he was asking why he would eat with Woo Min-ah without hesitation.

‘That’s right…’

Woo Min-ah, who had a personal relationship, and Kang Jin-hyeon, who didn’t have that, were different.

It wasn’t strange to eat meat with a close sister like Woo Min-ah every few weeks.

‘But Hunter Kang Jin-hyeon and I are not close enough to meet separately after work.’

Heena also had her own standards.

Of course, they became closer as they went through many things together, such as having lunch together and saving her brother, but it was true that she still felt distant from Kang Jin-hyeon.

It wasn’t that he was a picky person. On the contrary, the more I got to know Kang Jin-hyeon, the more gentle he became, like a well-trained dog.

The only problem is that Hee-na feels burdened by Kang Jin-hyeon?

Of course, this was separate from thinking that Kang Jin-hyeon was a good person.

Unlike Woo Min-ah, who was generous and affable, Kang Jin-hyeon had a very serious side. Hee-na was not good enough to treat Kang Jin-hyeon like nothing.

Moreover, in a way, it was natural that he felt more comfortable with Woo Min-ah, who was of the same sex, than Kang Jin-hyeon, who was of the opposite sex.

‘…But how do you convey this?’

If you have minimal social skills, there won’t be many people who can say to your face, ‘I feel a bit burdened by you.’

While I was thinking about what to say, Woo Min-ah said something.

“Hey, if you put so much pressure on yourself, who will eat with you? “Don’t you even know push and pull?”

That was very true. The problem was that it sounded like some kind of dating advice.

Before anything more strange could be said, Heena hurriedly continued speaking.

“As you heard last time, I had a close relationship with Minah before I joined the Blue Dragon Guild. “I am grateful that they help me in many ways when I am in trouble.”

“…yes.”

At Heena’s words, Kang Jin-hyeon was silent for a long time and then sighed.

“I know. I’m sorry, Heena. I knew that the two of you had a personal relationship, but when I heard the story, I didn’t have time to think rationally. “Maybe I wanted to become closer to Hee-na like Hunter Woo Min-ah.”

It was a confession that felt very sincere.

Of course, the exact meaning is not a pure confession, but closer to ‘I think I wanted to become close to Heena (enough to eat grilled meat together) like Hunter Woo Min-ah.’

At least Heena thought so.

“Wow… you really are sincere about Heena’s taste.”

No, Woo Min-ah thought so too.

So she made a bold offer.

“okay. Anyway, since we’re talking about it, let’s all go out and eat meat together. Heena, you also have to work with Hunter Kang now, so shouldn’t you get closer? “You can think of it as a celebratory dinner and have a drink today.”

‘I never thought the word company dinner would be brought up so easily.’

In the end, Minah Woo was just a team leader.

I was completely unaware of the feelings of rank-and-file employees who thought of company dinners as an extension of their work.

“…Do you mind if I wear it?”

But what can you do? It was almost impossible to refuse Kang Jin-hyeon, who was looking at Hee-na with sad eyes.

Chi-ik!

The sound of meat cooking on the fire rang loudly.

Heena, who was grilling meat, and Kang Jin-hyeon and Woo Min-ah, who were watching the sight, swallowed their saliva at the delicious sound.

The group followed Woo Min-ah to a famous Korean beef restaurant in the center of Seoul. I had told the restaurant in advance that they were given a separate room so I could enjoy the meat in privacy.

Usually, in these high-end restaurants, the staff with good taste would grill the meat one by one. But among the group, there was someone with even greater taste. It was Heena.

Thanks to this, they were able to talk freely without anyone interrupting them.

“Hey, look at the stain. “I feel like my salivary glands are about to explode.”

Woo Min-ah continued to swallow her saliva and grabbed her chopsticks. It was like a lioness looking at its prey.

“I feel honored to be able to eat meat that has been personally touched by Heena.”

Kang Jin-hyeon thanked and thanked Hee-na in a very pious manner. He probably wouldn’t be surprised if Heena changed water into wine like this.

When I activated the skill, the meat started to become shiny. The beef, which was already marbled like a snowflake, was even glossy and looked like a piece of art.

“Jin-Hyeon Kang, do you like your meat well-cooked or soft-cooked?”

Heena quickly turned the meat over and asked Jinhyeon Kang about his taste.

The two of them had already eaten beef a few times, so they knew Woo Min-ah’s taste. I liked slightly undercooked meat with a little bit of blood remaining.

“I am ready to enjoy whatever Heena cooks for me.”

Kang Jin-hyeon gave an obvious answer again. Woo Min-ah intervened on his behalf.

“He likes things that are ripe. “They say they don’t like undercooked meat because it has a strong fishy smell.”

Kang Jin-hyeon turned his head and looked at Woo Min-ah.

“Woomin, how does Hunter know that?”

“I know because your older brother told me. Team leader Kang Mok-hyeon. “Do you know that Kang Mok-hyeon is worried that you’re always awake?”

At the expression that he was sleepy, Hee-na stopped grilling the meat and glanced at Kang Jin-hyeon.

Although it looked slender at first glance, it was basically large and solid. Heena knew how much incredible strength came from that body.

How can you describe Kang Jin-hyeon as being foolish? Then, it was clear that Hee-won, Hee-na’s older brother, would not be worth the weight of a chicken bone.

“I wonder where in the world there is a skeleton with such a good body…”

Woo Min-ah also clicked her tongue, doubting the insight of HR Manager Kang Mok-hyeon.

Heena listened to their conversation and turned over the meat one by one. Because it was beef, it cooked much faster than pork.

“Now you can eat.”

Finally, Heena placed a piece of well-cooked meat on each person’s rice bowl. The dark brown beef was juicy and danced on top of the rice grains.

“…Hey. “It seems like the quality of meat is no joke today.”

“You can admire it later and eat it quickly because you are eating meat.”

As soon as they said those words, Kang Jin-hyeon and Woo Min-ah started frantically using their chopsticks without anyone taking the lead.

“It’s crazy! “It’s the best anytime!”

“…I’ve never had meat this delicious.”

The two couldn’t help but be impressed by the taste of beef.

Heena was also busy grilling meat, popping the cooked meat into her mouth with tongs.

As always, the first dot was without any seasoning. This is because it was this first bite that allowed you to best feel the original taste of the meat.

‘and. ‘It’s like eating delicious fruit.’

Juice burst out. The fine oil coated the mouth and created a fantastic harmony. My dormant appetite woke up in an instant.

Heena moved quickly like a person with ten arms. This means that while grilling the meat, he cut down the beef at the same speed as the two hunters.

Next to the bare meat was salt. When I dipped the meat in salt and put it in my mouth, the salt was not only salty, but it was sweet and appetizing.

I immediately dipped the remaining piece in a fragrant oil sauce and savored it. This was heaven and Mureungdowon.

Before my eyes, Korean beef with angel wings flew sacredly in the sky.

When my mouth felt a little greasy, I ate sweet and sour seasoned green onions or pickled onions. The combination of savory meat and fresh green onion was perfect.

Considering my past history, it was fortunate that I had ordered a mountain of meat in advance.

Or, the server in charge of Heena’s room might have caught fire while delivering the newly ordered meat.

“ah. It was delicious!”

By the time Heena put down her chopsticks, the other two had also come to their senses.

“Hey, let’s eat slowly now. “Every time I eat with you, it feels like the first time I end up eating only meat.”

Woo Min-ah called the waiter and ordered a drink.

“I can’t believe the two of us were eating this delicious food all this time…”

Kang Jin-hyeon looked at Hee-na with a truly chagrined expression.

Woo Min-ah chuckled as she filled Kang Jin-hyeon’s soju glass.

“Are you jealous? “I’m probably the first person to taste his hand.”

“I have no choice but to admit it. envious. I never thought I would envy Hunter Woomin this much. “It’s something I’ve never even imagined.”

“what? “You bastard!”

The two bickered, but seemed to get along strangely well. They were like a mischievous older sister and a blunt younger brother. Once again, Kang Jin-hyeon’s human side seemed new.

“Well, now that we’re all together, shall we have a toast?”

Heena stepped between the two and proposed a toast. Dew trickled inside the small glass I held in my hand. My mouth was oily, so it was the perfect time to wash it off with something cool and refreshing.

“You’re on vacation until tomorrow, right? “Then let’s drink it to death!”

Woo Min-ah laughed loudly and sipped her glass! We collided. Kang Jin-hyeon also silently brought the glass to his face.

However, he seemed to be more interested in meat than alcohol and could not take his eyes off the other person’s meat sizzling on the grill.

The three of them poured out their drinks in one gulp as if they had made a promise. Perhaps because the snacks were delicious, the dew was especially sweet today.

bean! The sound echoed throughout the room.

Heena and Woo Min-ah, who were eating sweet and sour dessert cold noodles, turned their gaze towards the source of the sound.

“Jinhyeon?”
