Let's Get Ready for the Trip

The first thing I checked when I opened my phone was a message from Jiyeon unnie. She seemed to have guessed I wouldn't have eaten breakfast, because she'd asked me to reply once I was properly awake.

Oh, right. I should make oppa something to eat. After all that, he probably needs to replenish his protein. It's almost lunchtime, but oppa has a good appetite, so I'll make him just a little something.

"Oppa, there's still a little time before lunch. Should I make you something to eat?"

"Anything Jia makes would be good. Since it's almost lunchtime, just make me something light."

First, I replied to Jiyeon unnie's message, then started grilling a prepared mackerel that we had at home. When we first moved in, oppa had made sure the kitchen was well equipped, so the range hood took care of most cooking smells and smoke.

Maybe it wouldn't be enough if we grilled pork belly indoors, but there are all sorts of fans that suck up smoke these days, so it should probably be fine...

"Mm, thanks for the food."

"Is there something you don't like...?"

"No, that's not it. It's just that it's all protein."

Now that he mentioned it...? Looking over what I'd made, I realized it was a simple meal of fish and eggs, but almost everything was part of a protein-heavy diet...
