Seol Jihu looked back, startled. He turned so suddenly that even Seo Yuhui was alarmed.

“Ah…. Yuhui.”

“...Honey? What’s wrong? You’re acting a little strange…. It doesn’t look like you have a fever….”

Seo Yuhui put a hand on Seol Jihu’s forehead before abruptly glaring at him.

“Tell me the truth. Did you get another woman?”

“No! Of course not!”

Seol Jihu jumped and waved his hands in denial. Seo Yuhui giggled.

“You really are acting weird today. You even told the kids their naengmyeons were good.”

“Ah, that’s….”

Seol Jihu shut his mouth. He didn’t know what to say.

To be completely honest, both dishes were fine, but he did see some parts that could be improved upon. But when he thought about how his children cooked for him, he couldn’t help but give them extra points.

“I understand that you did it because Jihui has been picking on Sohu more and more recently, but don’t worry too much. You know that Sohu is genuine when it comes to noodles.”

So the name of that polite boy is Sohu. Seol Sohu.

Seol Jihu inwardly cursed the person who named his kids with such obvious names.

“Anyway, didn’t you say you had to go somewhere today?”

“Hmm? I did?”

“You said there was a meeting in that place.”

“That place?”

“You know, that place. Didn’t you guys decide to meet at your restaurant?”

It was only then that Seol Jihu realized she was talking about Paradise.

“Ah, aaaah. You’re right. When was it again?”

“Hold on. It’s a little past nine right now, so in that world’s time…. You should be able to make it. There’s still some time left, but it’s a little tight. Shouldn’t you get going?”

“Right, I should. I almost forgot.”

It was better to avoid doing anything suspicious. Seol Jihu followed his instincts and rummaged through his pocket. However, he couldn’t find the paper slip.

Seo Yuhui stared fixedly at the flustering Seol Jihu. After observing him closely, she chuckled and left quietly. Then, she brought the paper slip that connected him to Paradise.
