He couldn’t just use another person’s kitchen However Jessie could so Jo Minjoon said

“After pouring soain Then it will be edible”

“… … …”

Jessie didn’t reply but she did as Jo Minjoon told her to She poured water and vinegar in a pot and put it on fire The vinegar would save the macaronis elasticity at least a little Of course there was some sour flavor left so it was best to pour just a little
