Samgyetang

White Ribbon

One cold night. It's snowing outside. But I'm really hungry. There's no food in my refrigerator. So, I decided to eat in Bistro. I don't really like eating in restaurants or cafes. I prefer cooking though my cooking skills are average. I can cook Kimchi Soup, Fried Rice, Curry Rice, and of course Ramyeon. At first, cooking for me was  hard. But, I must save my money to buy a new car for my work. I don't dare ask for a new car from my parents. So I saved half of my money and finally I have enough to buy a car now. Lately, I've begun to love cooking.

I took the coat and syal, wrapping it around my body. It's -150C outside. Ahh.. It's so cold. I open my apartment's door and suddenly the door behind me opened. Someone is coming from that door.

It's Myungsoo-ssi. 

I stared at him after closing my door.

"Myungsoo-ssi.." I greeted him.

" Oh! Hye Jin-ssi" he turned around and smileed. Then he looked at my coat up and down.

"What?" I asked him, confused.

"Are you going out? Now? When the temperature below 10 degress?" He asked. 

I mutered. "Yes," I said." I need to eat."

"Well, same with me then. How about we eat together? Since we are both hungry now?"

"Okay.. Let's go!"

 Then we two walked into snowing street.

 

 

At Bistro.

We sat down at 2-seater table and a waitress approached us with the menu. We both look at the menu but, he looks like he's struggling with the menu. I studied his face. He flipped through the menu till the last page and repeated that again from the first page. 

"Myungsoo-ssi, have you decided what you want to eat?"

He just muttered.

"How about tteokbokki?" I asked him

" No"

" Curry Rice then?"

"Mmm" I translate it to 'no'

" Kimchi Soup!"

"I don't like it"

"Hmm, Samgyetang?"

"It's not Summer yet" he said.

"I know, I know, but it's nice to eat something hot during winter"

He ignored me. I give up on him. I call watress and just order.

" I don't know what you like" I said to him "I will order Samgyetang" I ordered to waitress.

" 2 Samgyetang, please" he said surprising me.

"Hah? You will eat Samgyetang in Winter? Did I mishear, Myungsoo-ssi?" I widened my eyes. Unbelieveble.

He just shrugged.

 

After minutes, the waitress comes with our food. I look at him. His face is flat. He just stared at his food and takes a pair of chopsticks.

I take a pair and look at him.

He took the first chicken and ate it.

I haven't eaten any chicken yet, but he's already on his second chicken. He just concentrated on his chicken.

I can't it stand anymore.

"Myungsoo-ssi?"

He looked at me, still munching the food, "Yes?"

"Talk. Just talk" I said to him.

He seems to not understand because he stared at me for a while and began munching again. Gosh he really likes Samgyetang. Pausing before he took his fourth chicken, he said "Anything?" 

I nodded.

" I really want to eat Samgyetang again in Winter" He said

"Ne?" 

 

 

 

 

 


 

Ps : Young chickens are braised with ginseng and other ingredients in medicinal soups eaten during the summer months to combat heat called samgyetang

 

 Again, I really enjoy writting conversation between Myungsoo and Hye Jin. 

It's silly how they talked each other. 

 

 

Anyways, Happy New Years Eve ^^
