Hyeonu and Reina weren’t in a car but were walking through the city center. The reason was Hyeonu’s words. Hyeonu had mentioned he wasn’t in a state where he could go far in a car so Reina had nodded and said, “Let’s go around the hotel.”
The hotel that Nike Management provided to those contracted with them was in the heart of New York. Landmarks such as the Rockefeller Center, Central Park, Broadway and Times Square were within walking distance of the hotel.
“Where do you want to go?”
“I don’t like going to see buildings like that in the first place. Let’s just walk on the streets and see if there is a good place. I like that.”
He indirectly revealed that he didn’t want to go far away because it was annoying. However, Reina didn’t realize the meaning of Hyeonu’s words. She just thought that Hyeonu’s travel style was like this.
‘I enjoy the atmosphere of the city rather than seeing landmarks.’
Reina repeated this sentence in her head again and again. Then she asked Hyeonu. “Have you eaten lunch?”
It was only after hearing Reina’s question that Hyeonu realized he hadn’t eaten lunch. "No, I haven’t eaten anything today. Is there a delicious restaurant nearby? A place that is like New York.”
“I’m not sure what is like New York... Tell me what type of food you want to eat.”
“Um...”
‘What do I want to eat?’
Hyeonu stopped and stood blankly. He couldn’t think about what he wanted to eat. He also didn’t feel very hungry.
'Since I came to New York...’
“Burgers. I want to have a burger.”
Hyeonu’s choice was a hamburger. There were many reasons why he picked a burger. The biggest reason was that it was lunch. If he ordered heavy food then he could only drink alcohol at the party at night.
“Hamburger? Okay. There is a shop I sometimes go to in this area.”
Reina smiled and nodded. She liked burgers as well. In particular, the store she planned to go to now was the one she visited most in New York except for a bakery. The burger shop was really close. It only took 10 minutes while walking at a speed that wasn’t fast.
"We’re here."
The burger shop was on the first floor of a building made of red bricks.
‘It is like South Korea?’
Hyeonu’s eyes widened at the appearance of the store that wasn’t as gorgeous as he imagined. He thought it would have a luxurious atmosphere since Reina said she often went here. However, it was just a common burger store.
“There isn’t a lot on the menu. They only sell burgers and grilled sandwiches. They also sell french fries. Overall, it is clean.”
Reina said while pointing to the menu on the wall of the store.
“I’ll just have a burger. I also want to eat french fries.”
Hyeonu’s pick was a regular hamburger with no toppings added. It wasn’t a restaurant he could come to many times so he picked the most delicious patty menu.
“Do you need any drinks?”
“I’ll have a Coke.”
Reina came back after ordering Hyeonu’s share. The two of them took a seat to one side of the store. These were the only seats available.
“Have you been preparing a lot for the upcoming competition?”
Reina naturally opened up the conversation.
“I’ve been preparing hard. In particular, the other players have been working hard.” Hyeonu answered while drinking the water on the table. Then he returned the same question to Reina. “What about the New York Warriors? Are you ready?”
“Us too. Everyone worked hard. This time, we’ll get good results.”
“There will be results if you work hard. Crescent Moon and the New York Warriors.”
The conversation between the two people continued after that. This was until the food was placed in front of them.
“Wow... What is this?” Hyeonu forgot he was in front of Reina and let out a cry of admiration. It was so ridiculous that something close to laughter came out.
“Why? Have you never seen a burger like this before?” Reina asked as if she understood Hyeonu’s words or heard the surprise in his voice.
“The patty is so thick...”
The reason why Hyeonu was so surprised was due to the thick patty. It was so thick that he mistakenly thought he ordered a hamburg steak rather than a hamburger. Based on visual inspection, the thickness was over 3 centimeters.
‘This should be eaten separately.’
It wasn’t a size that could be eaten by hand. Hyeonu picked up the fork and knife and started cutting the bun, patty and vegetables. Then he put it in his mouth and chewed it.
“Is it delicious?” Reina asked as he looked at Hyeonu who couldn’t stop cutting. Hyeonu ate the burger while picking up the french fries and drinking Coke.
“It is delicious. The meat as well. The french fries are a bit bland... Still, it doesn’t matter.”
The juicy and meaty taste from the thick patty fit Hyeonu’s taste. It literally targeted his taste. The only unfortunate thing was that the french fries had no seasoning at all, so the taste of potatoes was too strong.
“Really? Then I’m glad.”
Reina smiled as she cut the thick patty in front of her and put it in her mouth.
***
It didn’t take long for the two people to leave the store.
It was because in addition to Hyeonu, Reina quickly ate the hamburger.
‘I’m fuller than I thought.’
Hyeonu ate all of the hamburger and only left the french fries behind. Yet he was full. Considering the amount of food Hyeonu normally ate, it was obvious how hearty the hamburger was.
‘I’m getting a bit excited now.’
Hyeonu felt much better. He was full so he thought he could take a look around New York.
‘Was the Trade Center near here?’
