The smile on Minjoon's face stiffened He responded with a shocked voice
”You can't…?”
Rachel's words sounded especially tough on him But he knew Rachel wouldn't say this without reason Rachel opened her ood dish, no doubt And the story… You probably wanted the poranate to look like a birthday present”
”…I'ure that all out”
”It looks too obvious If you just put a ring in it, it'd ot irl's quite so herself Well, besides that, this dish is still incomplete”
”…Yes, I see”
Minjoon lowered his head in sadness Rachel looked at hi mother
”Don't be too sad I didn't say I wouldn't allow it on the , still”
”Could you tell ?”
”Well… That wouldn't be very fun, would it? Besides, it wouldn't make the dish entirely yours if I helped you”
Minjoon nodded slowly He couldn't call the dish entirely his if Rachel was the one to fix a critical error in it Rachel s that your dish is iest help You know if you have to improve your dish or not, after all I hope you find an answer soon, Minjoon”
”Yes, thank you I'llbetter soon”
Minjoon responded as calmly as he could, but it was impossible to hide the disappointrabbed the door handle, Rachel asked him a question
”Did you let other people try the dish?”
”Mive it to other people The proble easier”
”I understand”
The proble other people taste the dish Minjoon left the roo about the idea When he entered the kitchen, Janet was the first to greet him
”What did Rachel say?”
”She said it needs improvement”
”Ah, pity”
”…Did you s, then?”
”It's not exactly a situation where you should be sed before turning away The question of whose dish would be on the menu come christmas was a very sensitive topic between all the chefs Minjoon tried a bite of the dish Rachel had just rejected
”It's tasty…”
The jam neutralized the icy coolness the ice cream provided The balance, in fact, a a very nice balanced flavor to the dish
'What a here?'
Minjoon reht then He took the dish and walked towards the other chefs Javier, after trying the dish, cocked his head
”It's really good, though? Pretty fun to eat as well Why this would've gotten rejected… I'm not sure”
”Anderson, what do you think?”
”I agree with Javier It tastes perfect I like hoeet and sour it is It's pretty perfect as far as desserts go”
Minjoon looked at all the chefs around him They seemed a bit surprised, as they didn't expect to have to provide their opinion The first to speak was Gerrick
”They say the three most important elements for food are flavor, look, and texture This has all three I don't knohat you'd want to fix froranate as well… I wonder what Rachel found wrong about it?”
”M you to improve instead?”
Maya was the one who said the last sentence Minjoon turned to look at her Maya looked away unconfidently when their eyes met
”Continue”
”N-no I think I just said so useless just now”
”I'll be the one to decide that I need every advice I can get right now”
”The dishes of Rose Island isn't just tasty It's all about showing the guests some sort of freshness, or depth, in the flavor of the food It should o 'Wow, so food can taste like this, too?' or 'Huh, this food has such an incredibly complex flavor' Ah, not that your food is bad, of course”
The girl seemed incredibly nervous as she talked Almost as if she was afraid that Minjoon would ly
”Don't be so nervous, Maya You knowor two Tell me what you think”
”…Honestly, it was a little reat restaurant elsewhere, al co thatfactor”
”Mm… I suppose that's what it is”
Maya s someone's food Especially if that food was made by someone more skilled than her
Minjoon tapped the dish as he spoke to himself
”Afactor…”

There were a few things a person gets used to when they start working at Rose Island One of theood food Most of their meals were co But since most of those dishes were done by Rachel Rose herself, even those experih class restaurant dishes
The second thing the person would get used to was famous people LA was a place full of hollywood stars and whatnot Visits from stars were quite commonplace, and some people even came to taste the food by plane Even the second richest person in the world swung by a few days ago to eat
But even with that, he wasn't used to the people on the table out in the hall right now That is, Minjoon wasn't used to them One of them was a famous comedian, and the other was a famous female MC The other one was a familiar face to him Martin Martin was on their table But they weren't the reason why Minjoon felt the way he did to that table
