Side Story 7. An Extraordinary Genius (Teaser)
Same time.
On Earth, Seol Jihu’s family was having a meal outside. It was a famous naengmyeon restaurant with 60 years of history and was also the only place in Korea that Seol Jihu acknowledged as having tasty naengmyeon.
“Eating this reminds me of Jihu.”
Seol Wooseok murmured while eating Pyongyang-style naengmyeon after pork galbi.
