This is the university's canteen.

My friend Yujin says she'll buy me a drink.

We head over to the vending machine.

Inside the canteen, beverage vending machines are lined up along the wall.

There are several of them.

There are a few small tables in the center.

There is a large window at the front where you can see the scenery outside.

This is the university campus.

I am choosing which drink to have.

I look around the vending machines, but nothing really appeals to me.

Then, I spot Vegemil in a carton in the refrigerator next to the entrance.

There is a price tag on the Vegemil. It is significantly cheaper than what is sold in stores.

And there are very low price tags on other items as well.

"You can get this price again later."

Yujin explains this to me. I choose the Vegemil.

Perhaps because I had just eaten a lot, I hold it in my hand and follow her outside.

Outside, people are standing in a single file line. A long line stands on the left side of the sports field.

And before I know it, it gets dark.

I put the Vegemil I was drinking through a straw into my pocket.

I am doing this to focus on the unexpected sight.

- Have you ever tried that big left-wing rule?

- Are you seeing left-wing rule again this time?

Yujin says this to me. I still don't know what he means.

There is a line on the road in front of me.

There are three sentences.

The second sentence is a bit long.

This refers to solving a certain problem.

Through these three sentences, I solved a problem, and the section became mine.

Someone gives me instructions.

I can see the text.

- Do not reveal the boat book number.

- Alcohol is permitted; do not answer that it is not allowed.

- Respond according to the situation on the ground.

Ah, they are telling us the rules at our workplace.

We are going to a certain country.

It is a country that our country made a colony.

In the middle, a branch splits off from a small country.

At most, it splits into three or more large countries.

We are going to notify these three large countries.

I listen to the cassette.

As expected, three sentences appear.

The second sentence is slightly longer. This states the solution.

With these three sentences, I skillfully solve a problem, and it becomes mine.

I conduct a survey for the meal.

- Jajangmyeon or Jjamppong, what do you want to eat?

A friend takes the lead in the survey.

- I want Jajangmyeon. I want to eat Jajangmyeon.

Please bring 30 bowls of Jajangmyeon and Jjamppong here.

The friend speaks loudly.

...

It is not that big of a problem.

I always accept it and solve it.

I have been solving things with those three sentences.

It was an easy task.

Thirteen years have passed like that.

Then, I suddenly realize that I have been solving problems like this all this time.

And the method of solving the problem like that

seems to have grown a little bigger. The secret solution has been sinking a bit over time, and now, like a fish, it is plump in the middle with a slight crack.

It feels like my stomach is about to burst.

..

It is a country house.

A young man is standing next to me.

And it seems my family is here.

I take something to eat out of a long bag.

It is a leather bag.

"I'll get it out for you," I say to the young man.

Inside this bag is a rice cooker.

It contains freshly cooked rice.

And inside that, there is also a rice cooker containing Samgyetang (ginseng chicken soup).

The Samgyetang also contains ginseng and glutinous rice, so it has turned into a porridge.

I have been waiting, keeping this bag containing these things for 13 years.

Finally, I am taking it out and eating it today.
