Solo Farming In The Tower

Thud.

Sleeping on the floor made my body so stiff. The good thing about this place is that there is no night. So, if you sleep where the sun is just right, you can sleep comfortably at a pleasant temperature.

Splash! Splash!

Sejun washed his face briefly at the pond.

And then

.splash, swish, swash.

He washed the sweet potatoes and cherry tomatoes he would eat today.

“It feel strange to wash them with the water I used to wash my face?”

Sejun put aside his discomfort and bit into a sweet potato.

Crunch.

The more I chew, the sweeter it becomes.

Did I ever have the luxury of chewing on something sweet like this without having to go to work?

He sat down on a dry patch of dirt where the sun was shining, laid out his bag, and chewed on a sweet potato slowly. There was complete silence, except for the sound of chewing. His heart beat started to slow down, and his mind also calmed down.

He was lost, and his food would run out in a few days. He might starve to death.

‘Strange.’

Sejun tilted his head. He was amazed by his own feelings. But it was better than being anxious.

“Every time Manager Go called out ‘Sejun, can you come over here for a minute,’ my heart would race. But, how peaceful it is now.”

Sejun leisurely enjoyed the sweet potato, relishing the peace that he couldn’t feel easily before.

“Shall we move on to the next menu?”

After finishing the sweet potato, Sejun put a cherry tomato in his mouth and chewed.

Pop.

The skin of the cherry tomato couldn’t withstand the pressure of Sejun’s teeth and burst. Sourness filled his mouth as the juice of the cherry tomato exploded.

“It’s delicious…”

It was so delicious that he doubted whether it was the same cherry tomato he usually ate. Perhaps his taste buds had become extremely sensitive due to hunger.

Sejun focused solely on the taste of the cherry tomato and chewed slowly. However, chewing on the cherry tomato for a long time didn’t make it taste better, so the five cherry tomatoes quickly disappeared into Sejun’s mouth.

After finishing his meal, Sejun began his daily routine.

Staring at the hole in the ceiling.

“······”

Sejun stared blankly at the hole in the ceiling.

“Ah··· I’m bored.”

Of course, he occasionally shouted, ” Is Anyone Here?!” But even that was done while looking at the ceiling. After staring at the ceiling for several hours, it was so tiring that he felt like he was going crazy.

“Is there anything to do?”

Sejun started looking for something to do.

‘Let’s water the crops first.’

Sejun filled a water bottle and watered the onions, cherry tomatoes, and sweet potatoes.

Joljoljol.

“Grow fast. Grow huge. Daddy is hungry.”

He went back and forth to the pond three times, thoroughly soaking the ground where the crops were planted.

Then

Ggororug.

His stomach informed him of the fuel shortage. Just moving a little made him hungry again. Sejun poured the remaining water from the water bottle into his mouth.

Gulp. Gulp.

He felt his stomach fill up a bit. Sejun returned to his spot and stared at the hole in the ceiling.

After several hours.

“……”

Seojun stared blankly at the ceiling when
