Chapter 107 - Chapter 107: Reform (1) (2/2)
“……If I stay between the two of you only I become the bastard I will leave first”
Anderson stood up Kaya said while flinching
“Today is Minjoon’s last day, you are really leaving?”
“What if it is? We can see each other later”
Those were some hard hearted words, but in the end it lanced back at Jo Minjoon and slowly said
“The naave me… I know that it is a weird one but I won’t throw it away Because it was alsoFrom now on, everytime I meet a korean I will introduce myself with that name”
“No, I don’t think there’s any need………”
“There’s no need to feel sorry Because I will also tell theave me this name So everyone in the world will point you about your hue”
Jo Minjoon forced a laugh Just where did that absurd revenge co farther away and said
“Thanks for while, Anderson”
Anderson’s feet stopped He said while not turning back
“Don’t make the atmosphere uselessly Whenever it is, we are , they would meet tomorrow And even if tomorrow passed, they would see each other at the finals However, it was so that Anderson couldn’t know Jo Minjoon calmly smiled and said
“I’m sorry”
Anderson didn’t reply back It could be that he didn’t have the words to reply back, or that he didn’t understand why he was saying sorry The shadow disappeared along the silence and the ones that remained in the hall became Jo Minjoon and Kaya The candle dropped melted wax and lit the table, and the side of the kitchen was deep in the dark with its lights turned off Kaya saw at the space between the not properly closed door and said
“It see about the kitchen, it did go off”
“……No, that’s not it I’ about me My front road My life has always been like that It was even difficult to look at to to be that different to today I thought that after I caht, but I can’t see it again Minjoon”
Kaya turned her head Every time the fire flickered, the shadow of her face also flickered However, her eyes didn’t Nor her voice She said with a voice filled with more confidence than ever
“It seehthouse”
Jo Minjoon didn’t say anything It wasn’t because he had nothing to say, rather it was because the moment he heard those words, he felt it difficult to breathe Because that hat he thought of Kaya No, precisely speaking, Kaya wasn’t sihtened the road
Kaya’s road was also the one he wanted to walk on, and the dishes she made were also the ones he wanted to make She was the object of that happiness, character, and adoration Just looking at her made hile even more because of the sense of loss
That Kaya had said that he was her lighthouse Those words……if he said that it felt wares of the judges, would it be too excessive?
“……I was your lighthouse”
“Every tiht me what should I do… You even blocked the paths that rong Most of all, you sustained me so ht that I wouldn’t be able to say these things to you ever……That’s why I’ it twice”
“Me too……”
He wanted to tell her that she also was his lighthouse That she was still a lighthouse for him However, those words didn’t come out as easily Jo Minjoon whispered many words that couldn’t even be heard with his lips half opened, and it closely shut Kaya slightly tilted her head
“What is it? Why did you stop in theI just have nothing to say”
To say those words, he felt really ht now Because however he wrapped it up, it was still his loss He wanted to say these words for when he reached the end of his road Kaya laughed brightly It was a girly shthouse”
“What?”
“Even without you, will I be able to find the path?”
“Kaya”
Jo Minjoon said with a soft voice
“I’ for you to judge At least for hthouse”
“No That’s not true Kaya Even if I wasn’t here, you would still have been able to find the path And you would have proved yourself just how excellent of a chef the person named Kaya Lotus is You would think that you have lived your life without any le It was a war that would have been difficult for normal people to survive And you have done it Your sister, she sh like that”
Kaya’s face becaet moved by it, or have to deny it It was an expression that even she didn’t know about
“And you shone, to the point that you didn’t shi+ne your own path, but also for the others That’s why I can’t becoless than hthouse So Kaya…don’t think that the reason you could climb all the way up to here is because you relied onand surviving, and enduring the scars I just… I was only the mirror that was next to you The ht”
“Why do you lower yourself that much? I……”
Her voice treot so dizzy even while getting praised Kaya opened her eyes fiercely and said It was ironical, but he thought that those fierce eyes was just her gentleness
“……Fine I won’t say that I climbed all the way here because of you Because rabbed my hands at the front You pushed and pulled ?”
“So you can win the last battle”
Jo Minjoon replied with a plain voice It is different to before The contents of the finals, and the process she walked That’s why he could only be anxious He did trust in Kaya…… But he hoped that she wouldn’t lose sootten because of hi that you are weaker than hi the Kaya Lotus that survived until now by relying on Jo Minjoon You have to be the Kaya Lotus that can stand on her own to beat Anderson Because Anderson also came all the way here by his own So……”
“I don’t want to”
Kaya replied shortly It was an expression that she had gotten hurt Her eyes seemed teary, and her face was red perhaps because of the candle light or because blood gathered on her face Kaya clenched her fist Beneath the fist that couldn’t be seen by Jo Minjoon, there was countless e her fist
“Surviving by grabbing your hands is eventhat I could grab that hand of yours! At least, it’s like that for rateful towards you At least you……I would like it if at least you weren’t that way”
She did understand the words Jo Minjoon was trying to tell her It was so with her head However, her heart couldn’t be that way Kaya stood up from her seat
“I in Whatever me it is, I will definitely beat Anderson So just don’t think about those useless things Just……”
As her voice got wet, in the end she could only shut hersilently in her heart Kaya said with a dispirited voice
“I want to sleep See you tomorrow”
Kaya left Jo Minjoon just looked at the candle with an expression you couldn’t know The sound of the footsteps kept getting farther Was he expecting for those steps to coh that came out of his mouth turned the candle off
The fire of the candle died, but the weight of the sigh couldn’t be forgotten so easily
