Three Meals of a Reincarnator

Chapter 349: Chapter 349

***

Ho Sung Lee dripped in a cold sweat as he watched Min Sung cook.

While Min Sung focused on his cooking, Ho Sung Lee felt like he was dying.

It appeared that Min Sung intended to feed Ho Sung Lee his cooking until he was satisfied.

And that was horrifying.

“Try it.”

Min Sung presented Ho Sung Lee with another attempt at his Kimchi stew.

Ho Sung Lee minded him as he tasted the Kimchi stew.

“It’s not bad.”

As soon as Ho Sung Lee answered with an awkward smile…

“You’re lying,” said Min Sung with resentful eyes.

“No, it’s true. It’s not bad.”

Min Sung brought his own spoon. He tasted it and then threw the spoon into the sink with a grimace.

Ho Sung Lee was frozen and unable to breathe.

“Why is it so bad? I followed the recipe,” grumbled Min Sung with negative energy.

“I have to try it again.”

Min Sung got ready to make another Kimchi stew.

Just like that, he repeated the process 8 times, and all Ho Sung Lee could think about was his desire to escape Ho Sung Lee as soon as possible.

***

“It’s perfect, Sir.”

Ho Sung Lee sprung up and clapped.

But Min Sung ignored him and tasted it with his spoon.

“Hm…”

Ho Sung Lee felt as though his soul was leaving his body as he watched Min Sung stare at his own Kimchi stew so seriously.

“It’s really good,” Ho Sung Lee said desperately.

“I’m not born to cook.”

Min Sung threw his spoon into the sink. He made himself some coffee and entered the living room.

Ho Sung Lee sighed and began to do dishes.

‘Why does Commander Kim like him so much?’

Ho Sung Lee laughed while doing dishes.

How could she like someone with his mediocre personality?

He couldn’t understand it.

‘I’m so much more attractive than he is.’

Bowl approached Ho Sung Lee as he did the dishes.

“Why are you laughing by yourself, son of a b*tch?”

Ho Sung Lee’s forehead popped out veins.

“I ought to cook you into a stew. Watch it. I can beat you now…”

Ho Sung Lee spoke down to Bowl when he suddenly stopped.

That was because Bowl was now hanging onto Repone and flying around together in the living room.

Ho Sung Lee sighed while finishing the dishes, and then he went out into the yard and lit a cigarette.

“Sigh. How do I break it to Min Sung?”

Ho Sung Lee thought about how to bring it up while smoking, but he didn’t have any good ideas.

“Yeah. It’s not like I’m Cupid. I’m not cut out for this job.”

In the end, Ho Sung Lee put out his cigarette. He threw it out. He brushed his teeth and then approached Min Sung on the couch.

“Sir, can we talk?”

Min Sung scanned Ho Sung Lee from top to bottom.

“What is it?”

At that moment, Ho Sung Lee wondered if talking about Ji Yoo Kim could make things worse since he was already so sensitive about his bad cooking.

‘I shouldn’t bring it up right now.’

Ho Sung Lee sat next to Min Sung.

“Sir, are you interested in women? I know you’ve yet to fully adjust to the human world after coming from the Demonic Realm, but you did say you wanted to live here. And now, there’s no danger getting in the way either.”

“…”

Min Sung stared at Ho Sung Lee, and as a result, Ho Sung Lee dripped in a cold sweat.

“Do you… have an ideal type?”

“…”

“Do you have no interest at all?”

“You need a beating, don’t you?”

“No, Sir.”

“…”

“I’m going to step out for a bit. Do you need me to do anything?”

“No,” Min Sung answered while staring at the TV.

“Then I’ll be back.”

Ho Sung Lee stood up. He bowed and then rushed out.

He felt like he could lose his mouth if he stayed any longer.

***

Ho Sung Lee entered the Warp Gate building at the agreed-upon time.

There were still 20 minutes until Commander Kim would arrive.

He entered the building with a black mask and sunglasses, and he sat down on the sofa and listened to his music with earphones.

While waiting for Commander Kim, someone sat next to Ho Sung Lee.

And when he looked beside him, he was shocked.

It was a female celebrity, and she was the main member of a popular girl group.

“You’re Ho Sung Lee, aren’t you?”

She asked with twinkling eyes.

‘How did she recognize me?’

While Ho Sung Lee was fascinated…

Snap! Snap!

The sound of cameras could be heard.

Reporters swarmed in.

The unexpected situation caused Ho Sung Lee to blink in shock.

“I just wanted to say hello. I’m sorry if I crossed the line.”

The idol bowed to him in front of the reporters.

The reporters took even more photos.

Ho Sung Lee sighed.

Since Min Sung Kang had strong charisma, reporters, broadcasters, and entertainment personnel couldn’t dare to approach him. But he was different.

They were determined to get something out of him.

Countless celebrities wanted to be involved in a scandal, and there were also countless humans who wanted to get close to him.

That was how impressive the position of the right-hand man of Min Sung Kang, who was the most powerful in the whole world, was.

For that reason, there were many bothersome things.

When he opened a box of apples someone gifted him, it was filled with cash.

And he was offered all the money and women that he wanted.

People were all burdensome.

He didn’t know how she recognized him at the airport, but the same went for this female singer.

It was possible she just wanted to say hello, but from Ho Sung Lee’s stance, it was burdensome and uncomfortable for someone to greet him in a crowded place.

But since he wasn’t a celebrity, he learned to be laid back about it.

“Hello.”

Ho Sung Lee shook her hand and accepted her greeting.

“Agh! Ho Sung, can I have a photo?”

She asked for a photo for her social media.

If a photo of them were to be posted online, it would take over the online news followed by countless comments.

He was quite popular for someone who didn’t appear on TV.

Ho Sung Lee had such thoughts as he took a photo with her phone.

While the idol singer posted the photo on social media, Ho Sung Lee lowered his mask. He took off his sunglasses and walked off.

It was time for Commander Kim to arrive, and at that moment, he saw her walking through the gate.

“Commander Kim, this way.”

Ho Sung Lee shook his hand at Ji Yoo Kim.

The way she walked over with a suitcase while wearing a grey suit was beautiful.

It was as if a goddess was walking over, and she was much more beautiful than the idol singer.

‘Why does such a beautiful woman want…’

As soon as Ho Sung Lee thought about talking to her about Min Sung Kang, he felt frustrated.

“Did I keep you waiting?”

Ji Yoo Kim asked.

“No, not at all.”

As soon as he answered, the reporters swarmed in and began taking photos.

“Since it’s too crowded here, shall we go to the VVIP coffee shop here?”

Ho Sung Lee asked, and Ji Yoo Kim nodded with a smile.

Ho Sung Lee glanced over at Ji Yoo Kim as they walked.

The way she smiled lightly with confidence as she greeted the reporters and cameras was beautiful.

***

“Did you really say that?”

Whenever Commander Kim, who was more beautiful than an actress on the red carpet, heard about Min Sung Kang, she immediately turned weak.

Ho Sung Lee didn’t know how he was supposed to advise her on her dating life when she looked so shocked.

They were talking about Min Sung Kang.

He wanted to tell her to just forget about him, but he couldn’t say that.

“I knew it would take some time,” said Ji Yoo Kim.

“Time?”

“Yes. Do you think we can grow close if we meet up for food, chat, and spend more time together?”

Ho Sung Lee felt hopeless as he realized she was becoming a stalker.

“Yes. I think that could yield good results.”

“Right?”

Ho Sung Lee had no choice but to give Ji Yoo Kim false hope.

How could he tell a woman in love the harsh reality?

And who knew?

Min Sung had changed a lot, and perhaps he could turn around with time.

Ho Sung Lee explained to her what kind of food Min Sung liked and hated.

Upon hearing everything, Ji Yoo Kim’s face looked even heavier than before.

“I had a feeling, but he’s a difficult man.”

Ji Yoo Kim drank her coffee with a bitter smile.

“That’s what I’m telling you.”

Ho Sung Lee smiled bitterly as well.

“Oh, yeah. And this…”

Ji Yoo Kim took out documents from her item window and pushed it to Ho Sung Lee.

Ho Sung Lee checked the documents.

It was a report on the hunter leaders and hunters written by the Central Institute.

“Nothing big has happened so far. We’ll give you a report like this every month. And if something urgent happens, we’ll call you right away.”

“Oh, I see. Thank you.”

Commander Kim didn’t call him just to get dating advice.

Ho Sung Lee heard from her that after watching the hunter leaders and watching on-site, they would be able to come up with a better monitoring system soon enough.

And while chatting with her, he also realized just how capable Central Institute was.

It wasn’t long before he didn’t have to interfere any further.

All preparations were complete.

Ho Sung Lee had a feeling it was time for him to open his restaurant.

His freedom was actually here.
