Chapter 9 (1/2)
“Jelly?”
Jessie asked once more It wasn’t because she didn’t knohat jelly was But because it was an idea that has never crossed her mind Jessie, of course knew that Lucas liked Jelly But i wasn’t that her father had raised a factory just for that reason
However she never thought of ht that it was just likeit to the pizza store owner However, now that she thought about it, the situation was different compared to this circumstance The jelly factory disappeared and the jelly that Lucas liked so much wasn’t near him anymore
If she were to make some jelly to the current Lucas… Jessie lifted her head and looked at Jo Minjoon while thinking like that The deep blue eyes with double eyelids were staring at Jo Minjoon For those eyes, Jo Minjoon was like a weird person For a person she had just met, to request her to make some jelly for her father That kind of weird person
But she seeh she didn’t knohy Maybe that weirdness made him more trustable Jessie opened her mouth
“……But I don’t kno tothe truth he didn’t know too well as to say it that confidently However Jo Minjoon thought thatthe jelly was more important and the flavor was only secondary Just the fact that Jessie
Jo Minjoon, while thinking like that, realized so Even if it was the same dish the food on the dish could beco on who cooked it
‘What kind of ?’
Suddenly that question popped in his head, but it was not the rightJo Minjoon opened his mouth This house’s kitchen was Jane’s area, but for now Jane should understand him Granted that Jane didn’t understand him and cursed him because of that, it was a completely differentwas to fix the relationshi+p of parent-child It was that thinking
“For now can you bring some fruit? If you don’t have any some juice is also okay”
“I think there’s some apple But it shouldn’t be ripe”
“Then it’s better Whenjelly, the less ripe a fruit, the more delicious it becoht the apples And she also brought soelatin but it didn’t matter Jo Minjoon knew of a way to replace it
“Didn’t you ?”
“I did But instead ofit I liked to eat ityou like to eat, it is meant to become more delicious”
Jo Minjoon said that and slanced at Jo Minjoon and asked
“Mister, are you a chef?”
“No I aspire to become one”
“Are you sure you make it well?”
“Why Are you worried that it’s not tasty?”
Jessie didn’t reply and kept herat Jessie Looking at the puzzled Jessie, Jo Minjoon opened his mouth
“Divide the apple in 4 and carve the seed After that split it in four and don’t peel it off”
“Why the skin?”
“Because there’s pectin on the skin That will do instead of the gelatin”
Inside the skin, and the pulp below that were thejelly
“You can do it right?”
“… Thishi her, and lifted the knife However her handling of the knife was quite sloppy While holding the apple with a hand, and the other for holding the apple, when she tried to slice it, the knife got stuck after it went all the way to the middle Even so Jessie didn’t try to press the back of the knife with her other hand Jo Minjoon opened his mouth
“You should press the back of the knife with your hand Yes Like that”
Even after Jessie finished with slicing the apples Jo Minjoon didn’tif Jo Minjoon made it Jessie had to make it by herself For her father And because of herself
“Now put it on the kettle and pour sohtly out of the water And put the fire on low”
“Are you really going to make me do it all?”
“Do you want me to help you?”
“………Fine I’ll do it I will”
Jessie poured the water accordingly To say the truth, this was the part where inners madea lot of water, the next thing he planned to do was to boil it down until the moisture evaporated However, when put lots of water the fruits turned bad
So depending on how she regulated the water decided if the jelly was a success or a failure
Jo Minjoon just stared still at the kettle that subtly started to boil
“Nohat do I do?”
“After waiting for a whilesoft start to squash them But first let’s prepare all the other processes Can you bring me a cotton cloth and a bowl?”
“Okay”
Jessie, as if she gave up, obeyed After leaving the cotton cloth and the bowl by a side of the table, Jessie and Jo Minjoon stared at the kettle in silence The first one to speak was Jo Minjoon
“High School?”
“No I becoh schooler the next year And e student After thinking about it we didn’t even present ourselves properly”
“……Jessie Dean Where does mister come from? japan?”
“Where do you think I come from?”
“Hmm China, if not Korea japanese people aren’t as calrasping an ie of japanese children Jo Minjoon opened his ”
