It was an embarrassing question. Even if I brought Seo Eun-soo to kick the gongs out, Chairman Seong wouldn’t budge.

 

“It’s all right, Chan-young. I’m asking because I’m curious about this strange set of alpha. As your grandfather and guardian, I feel uneasy if I don’t listen and move on.”

 

Even if you said so, I couldn’t help it.

 

‘I’m curious about Seo Eun-soo’s inner thoughts because I’m also curious.’

 

Seo Eun-soo spoke calmly without giving in to the cold gaze from all angles.

 

“It is true that I came because I was satisfied with Chan-young’s proposal for a part-time worker. However, it is also true that I came here to know more than that.”

 

“What?”

 

“I wanted to know in detail why Chan-young ssi disappeared. I thought he could give me an answer to the problem I was thinking about.”

 

After answering like that, Seo Eun-soo’s gaze at me was so calm and warm that I unconsciously turned my head away. It was awkward to face him because it seemed like an expression that shouldn’t be directed at me.

 

“…What is it?”

 

I heard an answer, but I was more lost in mystery. It was frustrating that I knew what neither Seo Eun-soo nor the other gongs were thinking.

 

“Oh, yes.”

 

However, after hearing this answer, Chairman Seong gradually burned his eyes. The way he looked at the gongs and Seo Eun-soo was unusual.

 

“There are so many different types of food that it is natural for my grandson to lose weight.”

 

“No. I was doing fine…….”

 

I didn’t lose weight, but rather gained 2kg. There were no pimples on the surface of the skin; it was glossy instead. There was no time for stress to accumulate with the satisfaction of living a good life and doing what I wanted to do.

 

‘I’ve had a pimple since the four Alphas came starting from Baek Do-jun to Yoo Yi-seo.’

 

“Ahem. Be quiet, Chan-young ah. I’ll clean up the things that you’ve been bothered about, like this one, even if I have to pretend to be your villain.”

 

“Actually, the dragonflies have been ferocious and unappetizing for a few weeks.”

 

Is there any reason to refuse fire support? I immediately changed my attitude without putting saliva on his mouth next to Chairman Seong.

 

“Yes. That’s my grandson.”

 

Chairman Seong, who whispered to me as a friendly grandfather, hardened his face again like a general as soon as he saw the alphas and shouted.

 

“Let’s take our time and talk about how much trouble you’ve caused our grandson.”

 

A loud sound echoed from Chairman Seong’s clasped hands.

 

“As a grandfather, I will clearly examine one by one whether it is okay to be next to my grandson.”

 

Chairman Seong flashed his eyes full of willingness to fight. I have no intention of stopping him, but I decided to treat him to a delicious dinner for Chairman Seong, who will chase the alpha for me.

 

“Grandpa, let’s have a meal.”

 

“Oh, what’s on the menu?”

 

“I prepared spicy chicken stew, japchae, suyuk and seaweed soup with seasoned vegetables, and some fried food.”

 

Side dishes with steaming steam were placed on a large table. The smell of fried food, in particular, stimulated my salivary glands. It was an ambitious tempura set with sesame leaves, peppers, squid, vegetables, shrimp, and sweet potatoes evenly prepared.

 

The squid and the shrimps were prepared for Chairman Seong, not me, of course.

 

Chairman Seong, who was impressed by the dishes that were not luxurious but were full of sincerity, held my hand and asked harshly, seemingly thinking of the gongs.

 

“Did you do it all by yourself? To feed them?”

 

I am no Cinderella, but…….

 

“No. I wanted to do it alone if possible, but it was too much for me to handle alone, so I added the hands of the employers. And I didn’t give meals to alphas other than Seo Eun-soo.”

 

While thinking about what to choose for the meal menu, I ended up calling the aunties and was told to try this and that. The aunties liked it.

 

I’m happy to have a chance to show my cooking skills?

 

– Young master’s grandfather is coming so we have to show our skills.

 

The aunties immediately picked out only the fresh ingredients left at home and continued to cook. I’m glad I bought fresh ingredients in advance. I only focused on the spicy chicken soup that I thought of at first.

 

‘He must eat a lot because he’s a dominant alpha. And it’s better to take care of Ajumonis who worked hard.’

 

About five chickens were taken out and put in a pot that looked like a large pot, and boiled with potatoes, onions, perilla leaves and ginseng, red pepper powder and red pepper paste. The smell of chicken made me excited.

 

It was worthwhile to cover the pot and wait for the meat to soak in the seasoning. When I took a bite, it was delicious. The aunties’ opinions were the same.

 

– My grandfather is really going to like it.

 

– I’m glad. I was worried that it wouldn’t taste good…….

 

Haha. In an atmosphere of peaceful praise, I recommended the aunties to pack some food.

 

– No matter how much my grandfather is a dominant alpha, there’s too much food. Ajummas should take some home.

 

– Oh, no need. I’ve already prepared the table for my house. You have to eat it. You should also feed it to the bachelor Seo Eun-soo.

 

-It’s hard for me to eat it all……. Of course, I’m going to share it with Seo Eun-soo, but there will be some left.

 

Chairman Seong was scheduled to stay for only one day and leave again. When I thought of the dinner I had in the past, it became too much, and if anything, the carefully prepared food would go straight to the food waste bin, I would cry.

 

Then the aunties suggested feeding the alpha bachelors as well.

 

– …..them?

 

-Bachelorette Baek Do-jun doesn’t starve because he’s well-prepared, but since it’s a good day for his relatives to visit, I thought it’d be nice to take care of him.

 

– They must have smelled it already while we were cooking, so why don’t we share it this once?

 

It was a difficult question. When I didn’t say anything, the aunties felt sorry.

 

– I’m sorry. We just wanted you to have nothing to worry about on a good day.

 

The aunties only knew that my relationship with the gongs was not good, and they didn’t know the details. It was because it was something I didn’t want to talk about.

 

– Young master frowned every time he ate on his own……. I was wondering if you were worried.

 

“It’s not like that.”

 

For the employees, I could see that my image was more of a good person. I didn’t even know I was frowning because I wanted to kick out the gongs quickly, and I thought I was stressed out by guilt about being cheap, so I recommended sharing this time.

 

‘There’s no reason not to.’

 

They were never pretty. It was possible because Chairman Seong widely expected that the food that went into the stomach through the esophagus would be digested and come back.

 

‘It’s about the last time I do a favor on the way.’

 

Koreans value rice, so I thought it would be better to have a debt that won’t grind my teeth too much when the gongs went back.

 

– Okay! Let’s give meals to Baek Do-jun, Chae Yoon-chan, Joo Tae-kang and Yoo Yi-seo separately. Just this time.

 

– I understand!

 

So we decided to share the same food together this evening. I didn’t even order the ladies, but they made something for the gongs to eat.

 

Thanks to this, Baek Do-jun, Chae Yoon-chan, Joo Tae-kang, and Yoo Yi-seo were flustered. They went into the kitchen to prepare a meal, but the aunties pushed them away, telling them to rest for the day.

 

“Seong Chan-young, is there a special occasion? Trying to feed us all……. Is it your birthday today?”

 

I didn’t answer the question Chae Yoon-chan asked, but only shook my head. Other alphas have wondered but kept it a secret until this moment.

 

‘As expected, it was because of Chairman Seong’s coming. Before kicking us out, we’re going to be fed with whims.’

 

The other alpha found Chairman Seong and became very stiff; only Yoo Yi-seo remained calm. I wondered when the hell he’d look embarrassed.

 

I thought we’d eat separately, but I don’t know why but Chairman Seong broke the proverb that not even dogs are touched when you eat ^[1] A proverb meaning, ‘no matter how wrong you are, you must not hit or scold when you are eating.’ , and called Seo Eun-soo and the gongs to eat together.

 

“I hate letting them eat the dinner you prepared. I’m trying to eat the most medicine, but I have to make their hearts hurt and go back.”

 

So when I connected two tables in the living room and sat down along with the prepared food on it, it felt like relatives gathered on a holiday.

 

‘It’s awkward…’

 

In other words, all the alphas who have been staying at my house have been listening to the conversation with Chairman Seong since earlier. Being stuck in this situation, I was in trouble, but Chairman Seong continued without caring.

 

“Well done. I don’t know what shame it’s stuck with, but I hope you eat and go off quickly.”

 

“Ha ha. Chairman. Do you want me to pour you a drink?”

 

Yoo Yi-seo put an iron plate on his face ^[2] acts shameless and recommended alcohol, but Chairman Sung was cold.

 

“Only Chan-young can pour my glass.”

 

At the same time, he snatched the bottle from Yoo Yi-seo’s hand and gave it to me. Well, you’re telling me to follow you, right?

 

“Eat a lot, Grandpa. You’d better drink less.”

 

“I’m in a good mood, so I’m not going to drink moderately today.”

 

Chairman Seong was very happy and drank the alcohol I poured and ate the prepared food together. Even in a close atmosphere, other people started eating only after the oldest person used the chopsticks.

 

“It’s delicious, Chan-young ah. It’s really delicious.”

 

“Thank you. It would have been hard if it weren’t for the employed aunts.”

 

“Didn’t you say you cooked this braised spicy chicken? It tastes very good when you mix the chicken and potatoes with moderately spicy seasoning. My my.”

 

Chairman Seong, who was excited, also ate fried food little by little. The moment he tried to grab the biggest fried shrimp, he bumped into another chopstick.
