Another Winter
the Another Winter 01

...01....

Smoke that greets the face, feels warm and also the delicious aroma of spices mixed in the sauce, really tempting every Indra anyone who inhales.

"Thank you, please come back." said Hyuji kindly to a customer who had just left his small shop on the edge of the main road not far from home.

Yeah, after a month of Reyna's departure. Hyuji decides to quit working from Val's family-owned insurance company, and decides to venture by selling odeng*, tteokbokki*, sundae*, etc*, and also a fizzy drink in one of the shops lined up along Yangcheon street.

She lives with a young man who is none other than her husband, John Wilson. The young man who decided to get out of his luxurious life and chose a simple life with a Hyuji.

Trying to build a happy family is their mission in the past two years. And all of that is happening little by little.

This spring felt a little different from the previous year, because now the effort that Hyuji fought for started from zero, has now begun to develop. His heart was slowly overwhelmed with happiness when he saw customers coming to the store increasing in number. Feeling tired when making it all paid off.

Suddenly someone came carrying a box of spicy chicken and rice.

"Sorry late."

The voice that Hyuji liked. Who else, if not John. The man looked tired, Hyuji greeted him with a warm hug then patted his wide back attentively.

"You should just go home and eat at home."

"No, I want to see my wife at work."

Hyuji blushed, John always managed to make both of his cheeks meet red like that. Hyuji grabbed John's denim jacket and placed it in one of the large bags he was carrying.

"Sit down and eat well there! "

"No man teases you today?"

"Oh my God John, what do you think---"

Hyuji's voice came to a halt when a customer came, Hyuji rubbed his hands on the apron and walked hurriedly to greet the customer.

"Welcome." said Hyuji.

Hyuji's face turned slightly stiffened when he saw the presence before him. A tall and strong man, his face was no stranger.

"You, Hyuji, right?"

Smiling stiffly, Hyuji suddenly became a person who forgot memories. "Right, who are you...? "

"Geez Hyu, did you forget about me? "

Hyuji glanced at John who was sharpening the spotlight on him at this moment.

The man stretched out an arm, smiling Exquisitely to Hyuji. "I'm Rommy, your old high school friend."

Hyuji's heart seemed to plunge freely to the bottom of the stomach as he was about to greet Rommy's palm, but John preceded. Makes the man frown.

"I'm her husband."

God, Hyuji never thought John would do that. Hyuji sneered, holding back the sense that he didn't know what to describe it like.

"Ahhah..yeah, introduce! He's my husband, his name's John Wilson."

John smiled at the corner of his lips, grinning sharply. Feeling bad, Hyuji quickly pulled John's arm and lowered it slowly.

"Rommy-ssi, you want to buy, don't you? Please choose the food we provide. There are so many choices" Hyuji said, gesturing John to stay away and not make his customers leave.

"Dengs! Give me five skewers of odeng! "

"O~h, okay."Answer Hyuji cheerfully.

John still didn't want to get out of his place. Still staring at the man named Rommy with a sharp gaze like an eagle binding prey.

"Good fun." friendly Hyuji while thrusting the Odeng that Rommy wants. Receive money and say thank you when the man leaves the tavern.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, the two reached home. Hyuji was a little annoyed at John about Rommy greeting him in the shop. The man is just a high school friend, but John stares as if Rommy is a worthy foe on a scorched earth.

Next time, don't act like that to my customers. They can run away if you treat them with that cynical face of yours."

"But he tried to seduce you Hyu. Do you really know him?! "

Hyuji stared in annoyance, looking at John who was showing a funny expression on his face, Hyuji could not help but feel anxious. But he held it strong.

"Yes. He was in High School with me. He even expressed his feelings for me."

"What??! "

John threw out both his beads.

"If you know like that, I've kicked him out from the beginning he came!” said furious. He did not expect at all if the man had ever had a taste with Hyuji.

"Don't try to drive my customers away."

John approached, grabbing Hyuji's body into the deck.

"I didn't drive away your customers, I just drove out the people who seduced and wanted to take you away from me."[]
