When I lifted the cotton balls, they drooped down heavily.
“Baaap….”
“Pii….”
It hasn’t been long since we started living together, but they’re already starting to resemble each other.
I stuffed the kids into my pocket and stepped outside, where the sunlight poured down.
<Lady Han Ga-eul starts broadcasting>
[⚔️BANGJAAAAAAAAANG!!!!!!!!!!!]
[⚔️SHA-DA, LIFT IT UPPPP!!!!!]
“You already lifted it. You’re so energetic in the morning.”
[⚔️Aha]
[⚔️LOLOLOLOLOL]
─Chik, chik.
“Huu─”
A haze of cigarette smoke rises toward the sky.
“The weather’s not great.”
[⚔️They said it’s gonna rain today]
[⚔️It’s drizzling a bit down here]
“Really? The rain clouds will probably roll in here soon too.”
Even as the sun shines, dark clouds are slowly gathering. The air feels heavy, pressing down on my skin.
Looks like it’s going to pour.
“Haa─”
Rainy days are always welcome as long as I don’t have to go outside.
Nothing beats turning on the AC and staying indoors on a muggy day.
“Kids, eat your breakfast. Food is the best medicine.”
[⚔️Thanks to the Room Master, I’ve been eating breakfast regularly lately]
[⚔️FR LOL]
[⚔️What are you eating, Room Master?]
“Me?”
I told them to eat, but now I can’t think of what to eat myself.
Rummaging through the space, I find a box full of various fruits.
“Ta-da. Cherry tomatoes.”
[⚔️????]
[⚔️?????]
[⚔️You’re wild, next thing you know you’ll be eating salad]
“These brats, their reactions are too much.”
[⚔️LOLOLOLOL]
[⚔️I thought you were a female streamer LOL]
“Ugh.”
When hungry, eat. When bored, play games or go outside. It’s just a broadcast where I do whatever I want.
I wonder if there’s anyone else who runs things as haphazardly as I do.
[⚔️The pipe looks so good on you LOL]
*Tap!*
I tapped the pipe, and the ash fell off.
“Huu─”
After exhaling the last puff of smoke, I popped a cherry tomato from the space into my mouth. The juicy flesh burst as I chewed.
“Delicious.”
As I kept popping tomatoes into my mouth, the pocket twitched, and a cotton ball poked its head out.
“Danpung, you awake?”
“Pit.”
Danpung scurried up onto my shoulder.
“Did you sleep well?”
“Piiit!”
Every time I moved my mouth, Danpung tilted its head, looking at my cheek.
“Why?”
“Piiit?”
Danpung poked my cheek repeatedly.
“I didn’t stash anything in my cheek.”
[⚔️LOL so cute]
[⚔️Adorable LOL]
“Pit.”
“This is a cherry tomato.”
I held up a cherry tomato to show Danpung, who tilted its head again and tapped it with its hand.
“If you plant the seeds in the ground, fruit will grow.”
“Pii- Piiit!”
Danpung reached out toward the cherry tomato, wagging its tail.
“You want to grow it?”
“Piiit!”
[⚔️Are you really a druid? How do you understand it?]
[⚔️LOLOLOLOLOL]
These little ones each have their own likes and dislikes.
I thought it would take time to get to know Danpung since we haven’t been together long, but I never dreamed growing plants would be its hobby.
“First, we need to take out the seeds and germinate them, right?”
“Piiit!”
This friend never asserts itself except when it wants to stay with me.
Now it’s boldly expressing its opinion.
“Here.”
“Pit!”
I tore a small-seeded cherry tomato in half and handed it over. Danpung took it and wagged its tail happily.
“Where do you want to plant it? Should I scoop some soil?”
“Piiit!”
Danpung carried the cherry tomato down to the ground and scurried over to a pot left on the rooftop.
It’s a pot left by the previous resident before I moved in. I left it there because I was too lazy to deal with it, but it seems Danpung noticed it the day we arrived.
“Hmm. I don’t know much about farming. Don’t we need compost and lime or something?”
[⚔️You’re not running a large-scale farm, so why bother?]
[⚔️At my house, we grow stuff too. It grows faster with nutrients and fertilizer, but it won’t die without it]
“What if the kid gets disappointed if the cherry tomato dies? Should I secretly mix in some fertilizer?”
[⚔️Does Danpung really want to grow it?]
“Yeah. Look at it. It’s already planting it.”
You went, didn’t you?”
When I moved the phone mount to change the direction, the broadcast screen captured Danpung’s back.
In front of a low and wide flowerpot, she was diligently working on something with her small hands.
Judging by the shape of the flowerpot, I guess the previous owner might have planted something like lettuce.
[⚔️No way, really?]
[⚔️The forest’s caretaker squirrel]
“Is Danpung the caretaker?”
[⚔️They say squirrels bury acorns in the ground, and where squirrels live, oak trees grow abundantly.]
[⚔️So cute lol]
Even so, she kept wagging her tail, completely absorbed.
From the back, I couldn’t see what she was doing, but she was standing on tiptoe, peering into the flowerpot.
Ding!
**〈Nature’s Song〉**
“Pee─♬♩”
Danpung, who had been fiddling with the flowerpot, started singing.
Ding!
**〈Growth Management〉**
**〈Ecosystem Creation〉**
They say people absorbed in something look beautiful.
Does that include little Danpung? The usually noisy chat suddenly went silent.
I guess everyone is watching Danpung.
♬♩♬♪
She swayed her head left and right, singing cheerfully.
“It’s great.”
After singing happily while looking at the flowerpot for a while, Danpung scurried over to me.
“Done playing with the dirt?”
“It’s great!”
Danpung climbed onto my lap, wagging her tail as she looked at me.
Her little front paws must have worked hard. They were covered in dirt.
“Danpung, your hand.”
“Pit!”
When I reached out my hand, Danpung placed her front paw on my palm.
I took a wet wipe from my space and cleaned her paw, removing the dirt.
“Let’s clean up and eat?”
“It’s great!”
As I bent down to clean Danpung’s hand, her bushy tail moved, tickling my neck.
“All clean.”
“Pit!”
“Can you wake up Baekseol for me so we can eat?”
“It’s great!”
Danpung slipped into my pocket, and soon the pocket started shaking slightly.
Seeing Danpung’s tail sticking out and moving, it seemed she was trying hard to wake Baekseol.
“I should get some food ready too.”
[⚔️I wonder what elegant brunch our room master will enjoy?]
[⚔️Lol for real]
“Brunch? I’ll just make some hot soybean paste stew.”
[⚔️Nice]
[⚔️Lololololol]
[⚔️Lol this is our room master]
Ding ding-! Ding ding-!
As I walked to the kitchen to cook, the phone in my pocket rang.
The screen showed “Haemalgeum.”
Click.
“Hey, what’s up?”
– Eonni! Outside! Outside!
Haemalgeum, who called out of the blue in the morning, frantically blurted out something incomprehensible.
“What’s outside?”
– Cook outside!
“Why suddenly?”
– Gotta nail that YouTube video vibe!
“Oh… that?”
– Of course!
“Alright.”
– Yes!
Click.
Haemalgeum gave a bunch of orders, then hung up after hearing my response.
She must have been watching the broadcast since morning.
[⚔️Who called?]
[⚔️Who?]
“Malgeum said to cook outside for a YouTube video vibe.”
[⚔️Lololololol]
[⚔️Our editor is sharp]
Reluctantly, I grabbed the burner and cooking utensils and headed outside, greeted by the crisp autumn air.
“Guys, does this look good for cooking?”
[⚔️Yeah, angle’s good]
[⚔️Perfect]
“Alright. Let’s start cooking.”
[⚔️Go go]
[Jingling!]
[User “I want to stick my finger in Han Ga-eul’s soft butt” donated 10,000 won]
[Eonni, get your concept together]
“Ugh, what concept? I’m just cooking.”
[⚔️The editor’s nickname is so cringe lololol]
[⚔️The autumn tube editor’s level is embarrassing no matter where you put it lololol]
I regret asking them to edit.
But when you do something, do it right.
I tied on my favorite apron and bowed to the camera. Danpung, in my pocket, peeked out, wondering what was going on.
“Hello! Your daughter-in-law, Han Ga-eul, greets you.”
[⚔️So cute!]
[⚔️Clap clap clap clap]
“Today, I’ll be making breakfast. The menu is soybean paste stew.”
[⚔️Wow!]
[⚔️Already looks delicious!]
Seeing the playful reactions of the viewers, laughter comes naturally.
As expected of viewers who are always online, their speed of keeping up is no joke.
“It’s simple, so try making it comfortably at home. First, we’ll make the broth. The anchovies we’ll use here are called ‘big anchovies,’ also known as ‘dried anchovies.'”
The anchovies and half a green chili pepper are placed in a broth bag and added to the earthenware pot.
“I don’t really like chewing on anchovies in soybean paste stew, so I’ll use a broth bag. And for a bit of spiciness, I’ll add some sliced green chili pepper.”
[⚔️I don’t like it either!]
[⚔️The Soybean Paste Stew Association recognizes you as a stew expert!]
“If we let the broth steep like this, it’ll be ready. But if it steeps too long, it’ll get bitter, so keep it between 4 to 6 minutes.”
Tick-tock. Tick-tock. Whoosh!
The flame from the prepared burner rises, heating the earthenware pot.
[⚔️What kind of soybean paste should we use?]
“Soybean paste? I recommend this traditional soybean paste. It’s mixed with a bit of fermented soybean paste, has moderate saltiness, and lacks the strong sweetness of fermented beans, making it perfect for hearty stews.”
[⚔️Oh, there are so many types of soybean paste!]
[⚔️Our room master looks the prettiest when cooking!]
“While the broth is steeping, I’ll prepare the ingredients.”
Chop-chop! Chop-chop-chop!
The lively sound of chopping echoes from the cutting board.
This sound always makes me feel good.
[⚔️Wait, Professor, I can’t see your hands!]
[⚔️The pace is suddenly too fastㅠㅠ]
[⚔️LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL]
By the time the ingredients are prepped, the anchovy broth is ready.
“Add the sliced onions here and let it boil a bit more. This will bring out the sweetness of the vegetables, deepening the flavor without needing seasoning.”
The earthenware pot, already heated, transfers the heat relentlessly to the broth.
“Add a spoonful of soybean paste here, then toss in the rest of the ingredients. Easy, right?”
After adding the prepped zucchini, tofu, and other ingredients, the stew starts to take shape.
[⚔️LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL]
[⚔️Teacher, will it still taste good if you do it so casually?]
“Oh, of course. If you’re worried, try adding this.”
A handful of wild greens is waved in front of the phone, releasing a fresh, spring-like aroma.
“Huh? Not spring wild chives, but autumn ones? Wild chives grow and wither twice a year, in spring and autumn. Autumn wild chives are also incredibly fragrant and delicious.”
The soybean paste stew in the earthenware pot bubbles away deliciously.
“It’s almost done, but something feels missing.”
[⚔️What’s missing?]
[⚔️It looks a bit bland.]
“As expected, our viewers are sharp. The color looks pale, right? Food isn’t just about taste; color is super important too.”
A spoonful of chili powder is added to the stew, and finally, the familiar reddish hue of soybean paste stew appears.
[⚔️Ah, it was the chili powder color!]
[⚔️Didn’t know that!]
“Top it off with thinly sliced red chili peppers for a visually appealing finish. And there you have it—wild chive soybean paste stew!”
[⚔️Wow!]
[⚔️Clap clap clap!]
At that moment, Baekseol and Danpung peek out from the pocket.
[⚔️Baekha Danha]
“Did you sleep well?”
“Chik, I did!”
“Really?”
Baekseol’s ears perk up.
It seems like they heard the sound of the rice cooker.
“Next time, we’ll make healthy five-grain rice, mung bean pancakes, and acorn jelly.”
[⚔️Yay!]
[⚔️Already sounds delicious!]
[⚔️LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL]
“See you next time. Bye-bye!”
[⚔️Bye-bye!]
[⚔️BB]
[Ding!]
[User “Want to Squeeze Han Ga-eul’s Soft Butt” sponsored 1,000 won.]
[Cut!]
─Chik, chik.
“Phew── You guys did great keeping up.”
[⚔️Yes, boss, it’s time to return to the organization.]
[⚔️Boss, what’s with the apron? What’s going on?]
Ding!
Ignoring the viewers’ nonsense, I wave my hand in the air, and Baekseol’s meal, bought from the store, appears.
[⚔️Boss, is this a magic show now?]
“Baekseol, eat your meal.”
“Okay!”
Handing Baekseol a flower, she climbs onto the table and starts plucking the petals.
Ding!
Clatter.
“Danpung, let’s eat too.”
“Ppiit!”
Danpung, who climbed up my hand, puts sunflower seeds into their cheek pouch.
Looks like the kids have to finish eating before I can eat.
[⚔️Where does that keep coming from?]
[Is it happening?]
[⚔️So freaking funny lololol]
[⚔️My life achievement is watching the Room Master’s broadcast from day one and I still can’t figure out the trick;;]
***
<Lady Han Ga-eul has ended the broadcast>
[⚔️Did she leave?]
[⚔️Yeah, she left]
[⚔️Lololol]
[⚔️Guys, it’s already autumn, gotta start doing that thing soon]
[⚔️Wasn’t there someone who said they’d inquire? How much is it?]
[What are you guys doing not leaving?]
[⚔️One screen door for a month is 800. One huge light for a month is 600. A square pillar is 500. A small one by the stairs is 110 for three months]
[⚔️If we do it for three months, the Room Master’s eyes will roll back and she’ll tear it apart fr]
[What are you doing not leaving?]
[⚔️The main guys’ heads will probably get torn first]
[⚔️That’s us]
[⚔️Ah, we’re screwed]
[Can’t you see me?]
[⚔️Nah, the kids did it and saved a ton]
[⚔️But damn, it’s expensive]
[Ding!]
