Bon Appetit (Manhwa)

Chapter 88

Samgyetang is usually eaten to improve the body's health on the three hottest days of the year*. This dish will relieve Legion's fatigue from his work.

*TL/N: Korea has the three hottest days of the year (복날; boknal). Korean celebrate these days by preparing food made by chickens to rejuvenate the body and increase health and stamina.

Legion picked up the chicken using his fork. The boiled and tender meat slowly separated from the bone. The delicious scent tickled his nose and stimulated his appetite. When he ate the chicken, the light savory taste stimulated his tongue. It was his first time eating this dish, but it wasn't bad. Rather, it was really good.

Naturally, he began to eat more with his fork.

"Try the soup, too."

He tried drinking the soup with a spoon at Luana's recommendation. The slightly greasy chicken-flavored broth rejuvenated his body. His tense shoulders were immediately relaxed. Luana always serves unique dishes that have the power to stimulate his appetite.

"I tried to feed you well these days, but you keep losing weight. So, I won't let you goo until you finish eating all of them."

Legion was pleased to see her pouting her lips. As he slowly ate the samgyetang, time gradually passed. As he was about to finish, Luana pulled out a small bowl she had prepared. It was a bowl of rice.

"It's delicious even with rice!"

At the same time, she also served a red-looking salad. She has been moving around recently, so she didn't have much time.

"Is this the kimchi you've been wanting to make so much?"

"Yes! It's a little spicy, but it tastes really good when you eat it with it!"

Luana was always right, especially about food and eating, and Legion trusted her word. After mixing the rice with the remaining soup, he added the bright red salad she recommended. After he took a bite, a burning sensation struck him.

"Ugh!"

It's spicy! Instead, it was too spicy, but it wasn't that bad. Could it be that Luana lied? Looking at Luana with a confused expression, he saw her taking some kimchi with a fork.

When Legion and her eyes met, Luana smiled and immediately put her kimchi in her mouth.

'I have to stop her!'

Maybe it was her first cooking failure. He couldn't let Luana eat this spicy food, but it was too late. Luana was already eating the kimchi.

'How will you react?'

While holding his breath, the kimchi went down her throat.

"Whoa."

Luana exclaimed a little, placed her hands on her cheeks, and said in a satisfied tone.

"It's delicious!"

'Delicious?'

Legion looked down at the kimchi. Maybe he felt it wrong? He stared at the kimchi for a moment and picked it up with a fork again. He was going to try it again. However, the taste did not change even after eating it for the second time. It was still spicy and burning.

"What do you think? Does it taste okay?"

Luana asked with a face full of expectation.

"It tasted o- okay."

Cough cough

Legion covered his mouth with his hands and coughed. He couldn't stand how spicy the food was.
