OH. THAT WAS THE LAST OF IT. IT'S STRANGE... THE MORE I EAT, THE BETTER IT TASTES. I CAN'T BELIEVE HE MADE SOMETHING THIS DECENT ON HIS FIRST TRY. HAA... I'LL JUST GRAB SOME FROM THE CONVENIENCE STORE. UGH, I'M TOO LAZY TO GO OUT AND BUY MORE. I WAS GOING TO TRY TO KICK HIM OUT UNDER THE GUISE OF HIS COOKING BEING TRASH... ...BUT IT CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD HOW GOOD IT ACTUALLY WAS. I COULDN'T EVEN HIDE IT AT FIRST. STILL, I MANAGED TO GET RID OF HIM... HE LOOKED OLD ENOUGH TO TAKE CARE OF HIMSELF. HE PROBABLY FOUND SOMEWHERE WARM TO GO... OBVIOUSLY THE KID FROM EARLIER. SERIOUSLY...? SO I SHOULD JUST STOP WORRYING. HE'S NOT SOME CURSED SPIRIT DOOMED TO HAUNT ME, IS HE? HEY... HEY!!! COUGH DIDN'T I TELL YOU TO LEAVE?! COUGH WHAT ARE YOU STILL DOING HERE? COUGH COUGH COUGH ...IS THAT YOU...SIR...? IT'S SO... COLD... HE'S BEEN SITTING OUTSIDE THIS WHOLE TIME... HE DOESN'T LOOK TOO GOOD... HAA... FINE. I'LL JUST HAND HIM OVER TO THE COPS. I COULDN'T DO IT... HIS SKIN IS SO PALE AND HE KEEPS COUGHING. I'D HAVE TO DEAL WITH A CORPSE IF I'D LEFT HIM OUT THERE ANY LONGER, SO I BROUGHT HIM INSIDE FOR NOW... HEY, YOUR NAME'S...UH... WU JONGWU? Wu Jongwu YES... I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU'RE DOING THIS TO ME OF ALL PEOPLE... ...BUT AS YOU CAN TELL BY THE STATE OF MY HOUSE... I'M NOT EXACTLY WELL-OFF. I'M ALSO NOT THE KIND OF GUY WHO'S GREAT AT LOOKING AFTER OTHER PEOPLE, EITHER. NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU BEG, YOU CAN'T STAY HERE. HOW CAN YOU DO THIS TO SOMEONE YOU BARELY KNOW? A STUDENT LIKE YOU NEEDS TO BE WITH FAMILY THAT CAN PROPERLY CARE FOR YOU. STOP BEING STUBBORN AND GO HOME. THE ONLY "HOME" I HAVE IS A RELATIVE'S... ...BUT THEY WERE ON SUCH BAD TERMS WITH MY PARENTS THAT THEY DIDN'T EVEN COME TO THE FUNERAL. I THOUGHT IT'D BE BETTER TO LIVE WITH SOMEONE I DON'T KNOW... ...THAN HAVING TO TIPTOE AROUND THEM EVERY DAY... OH...REALLY? BUT... ...HOW CAN YOU BE SO SURE WHEN YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT KIND OF PERSON I AM? DO YOU SELL ORGANS ON THE BLACK MARKET? DEAL DRUGS? WHAT?! NO, OF COURSE NOT... SEE? THEN IT'S OKAY. NO!!! IT'S NOT!! I'M NOT OKAY WITH IT!!!!!! OH. UGH!! FEELS LIKE I'M TALKING TO A BRICK WALL... LOOK KID, I GET IT. BUT THIS IS YOUR OWN PROBLEM. I DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY! AND I DON'T WANT TO BE A BABYSITTER!!! WHY CAN'T A SMART-LOOKING KID LIKE YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M SAYING?! I UNDERSTAND... IN THAT CASE... I'LL LEAVE AS SOON AS I WARM UP A BIT. IS THAT OKAY? HUH?! UH... WELL... THE HECK? WHY'S HE'S SUDDENLY BEING SO REASONABLE? I THOUGHT IT OVER AFTER HEARING WHAT YOU SAID... TO YOU, I'M NOTHING MORE THAN A STRANGER THROWING A TANTRUM. YOU MUST BE TIRED. I'M SORRY FOR BOTHERING YOU. I REALLY TRIED TO MAKE THE SOUP TASTE GOOD... ...BUT SINCE YOU DIDN'T LIKE IT, I'M SURE YOU WERE PRETTY DISAPPOINTED... I LEARNED BY WATCHING MY PARENTS AT THEIR SHOP... AH...I'M SORRY- ...FOR COUGH- ONE MONTH... ...BUT I NEVER GOT THE ACTUAL RECIPE... I'LL LET YOU STAY HERE FOR ONE MONTH. BUT THAT'S IT. REALLY?! I CAN STAY HERE FOR A WHOLE MONTH?! IN THAT MONTH, FIND A PART-TIME JOB, SAVE MONEY, OR FIND SOMEWHERE ELSE... IF YOU'RE STILL HERE AFTER THAT, I'LL CALL THE POLICE FOR REAL. NO EXCEP... ...TIONS...! JUST GET YOURSELF READY TO LEAVE. THANK YOU...! THANK YOU SO MUCH, SIR...! THAT SURPRISED ME... WHY THE HELL'S HE HUGGING ME? BUT YOU GOTTA COOK DINNER EVERY NIGHT. YES, YES! I'LL DO MY BEST! I'LL WORK HARDER THAN I STUDY!!!! DON'T BE SO DRAMATIC. ACK. OH, SIR. I DIDN'T GET YOUR NAME. WHAT WAS IT AGAIN? BAE CHANGDEOK. THANKS A TON, MR. BAE. I'LL DO MY BEST. "STUDYING," HUH? NBC Weather Alert THE SNOW SHOWS NO SIGN OF STOPPING... Second Day of Record Snowfall... SEEING AS THE KID WAS IN UNIFORM, HE MUST STILL BE IN SCHOOL. CAN'T TELL IF HE'S IN MIDDLE SCHOOL OR HIGH SCHOOL, THOUGH. HEY, CAN YOU GET TO SCHOOL ON YOUR OWN? JUST SO WE'RE CLEAR... ...I'M JUST GIVING YOU A PLACE TO CRASH. DON'T EXPECT ME TO DO ANYTHING ELSE. SCHOOL STARTS AGAIN TOMORROW... BUT I CAN FIGURE IT OUT MYSELF. THANK YOU FOR ASKING. UM...BY THE WAY... IS THAT... THE ONLY BLANKET YOU HAVE? HUH? WELL, YEAH. I LIVE ALONE, SO WHY WOULD I HAVE EXTRAS? EITHER CURL UP IN THE CORNER OF MINE OR USE YOUR JACKET. IT'S UP TO YOU. HE DOESN'T LIKE HUGGING... ...BUT HE'S FINE SLEEPING UNDER THE SAME BLANKET? WHAT A WEIRD GUY... THAT'S BESIDE THE POINT... I'VE NEVER SHARED A BED WITH SOMEONE BEFORE. I CAN'T SLEEP... MEANWHILE... HE WAS OUT LIKE A LIGHT AS SOON AS HE HIT THE PILLOW... IS HE EVEN BREATHING...? I HAVE TO GET UP EARLY. I SHOULD JUST GO TO SLEEP. THIS PUNK... HOGGING THE BLANKET TO HIMSELF... WAS PRETENDING TO SLEEP BECAUSE IT FELT TOO AWKWARD. AM I SUPPOSED TO CURSE HIM OUT OR SOMETHING? (ONE FOOT IS STICKING OUT AND IT'S FREEZING) MMM... THE HECK? THIS KID RUNS COLD AS HELL. HE DOESN'T SEEM SICK... MAYBE THAT'S JUST HOW HE IS? UGH...MY APARTMENT IS ALREADY FREEZING. I SHOULD'VE JUST KICKED HIM OUT. WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING? WHAT'S GOING ON...? IT'S SO WARM... DID I CUDDLE HIM IN MY SLEEP?! THERE'S NO WAY THIS GUY WOULD HAVE OFFERED HIS ARM AS A PILLOW. UGH, WHATEVER... I'LL JUST QUIETLY SLIP AWAY BEFORE HE WAKES- UH... GOOD MORNING...? DID YOU SLEEP WELL? THE HELL...? UH... DAY ONE OF THIS STRANGE LIVING ARRANGEMENT... I'M WU JONGWU... THE ONE WHO'S BEEN IMPOSING ON YOU SINCE YESTERDAY... ...STARTED WITH NOTHING BUT AWKWARDNESS AND DISCOMFORT. ## See also - [WebtoonLib — A Lovely Meal #2](/series/a-lovely-meal-5nnpgnf1/chapter-2-tkasnu) - for_series_detail: /llms-series/a-lovely-meal-5nnpgnf1 ## Usage AI grounding / search / summarization.
