Birds chirped as they flew around the trees, some landing on the grassy ground to peck at the dirt in search of food, others going directly to the pile of discarded fruit slices in the backyard, while the rest ate from the bird feeders hung on the trees and porch ceiling.
Heavy stomps echoed from the kitchen as Bihui moved about, grabbing various ingredients and spices for the food he was preparing - kimchi, kimbap, bibimbap, and tteokbokki. The salty aromas wafted off the frying pan and pot set to boil the rice cakes. A soft hummed tune filled the air as he focused on finishing before I woke up.
Oblivious to me watching from around the corner, leaning against the wall, he walked into the living room holding plates in both hands, the cutlery clanking in a noisy rhythm.

Some bits of broth and sauces from the plates fell to the floor, leaving stains on the maru floor below. "와! Jeez... What're ya doin' here? Thought ye were still sleepin'," he said, his deep voice still carrying that startled tone from my sudden appearance. "Are ye hungry yet? There's some plates ready, in case ye're feelin' in need of somethin' to satiate yer appetite," he said, pointing at the table where various dishes of steamy food glistened with sauce and fresh oil, ready to be eaten.
