”Kaya, you didn't ain, did you?”
”Of course not You've been dodging all of them so far anyway”
”Are you stillsed Minjoon
”Do you think I'd be able to hug you if I was?”
Minjoon could only feel a little fear fro this To think she'd be able to act so naturally… Minjoon moved his hand over the box Kaya looked at him expectantly Minjoon put a piece in his
”How is it?”
”It's good Did you use fried bananas? The banana flavor is pretty strong for a crea that you like it”
Kaya suard just like that, and then that one piece will Hehe, just thinking about it ht then, Minjoon thrust a piece of chocolate to her ood”
”…I'ood enough”
Kaya paused for a second nervously before taking it There was no way she'd get the bomb out of the 30 pieces in the box anyway… But her face stiffened the moment it went in her mouth
Minjoon looked at her curiously
”What's up?”
”…It's nothing It's good”
”Right?”
Kaya quickly sed before trying to reach out for another piece She needed to wash the durian out one way or the other But Minjoon took the box away frorasp
”You said you were on a diet You need to restrain yourself”
”J-just one…”
”No You're just going to keep telling me that as you jump more and more pieces in your mouth”
It wasn't like Kaya could confess about what she just ate at this point Kaya stood up from her spot with a pale face
”My stoht back”
”Sure, sure”
Minjoon s a little from the bathroom She ue of hers
'Should've at least tried to be nicer…'
At least she didn't do it to actually get hih Minjoon s better?”
”A little Here, take this”
Kaya threw so at him with an annoyed voice It was a small box Minjoon looked confused
”What's this?”
”Your birthday present I o to Italy, remember?”
”…Ah”
Deceift for ato unwrap He could only smile when he looked inside
”A business card?”
The silver card had the logo of Rose Island with a bunch of little facts written on it Most of the like this:
– Got third place at Grand Chef Season 3 (Lost to Kaya Lotus)
– Got the best tongue in the world
– Works as a demi chef at the main store of Rose Island
– Kaya Lotus' property!
”…The heck is this?”
”Business card Obviously
”Do I really have to give this to other people?”
”Of course you do That's what it's made for What, you don't like it?”
”No, I do It's just…”
”Shush Hug o now”
Kaya opened her ar her tightly in his arms, he spoke up with a heavy voice
”Why do you have soyou at the end of the year, too?”
”I'm a half celebrity at this point, after all I'm free when others are busy, and busy when others are free”
”Well… I don't think I've ever seen you free, though”
”Gee, thanks for noticing”
”It isn't hard?”
Kaya kissed Minjoon instead of responding
”I'll get going now”
”Alright See ya Ah, also…”
Minjoon's lips struggled to part Why was this one phrase so rinned and kissed hi the phrase for him
”Love ya”
The door closed before Minjoon could say anything Minjoon lay down on the sofa tiredly
”It's… a lot different co of the year when he was around 30 He was peeling garlic at the restaurant by hiht now too, but at least Kaya was there to comfort him for a bit It was different compared to before
In any case, there was too little for hio to do their own stuff For two days, too He was free till January first Pretty much a three day vacation, really
'What do I do for three days?'
Anderson asked him to come to the party at his parents' restaurant, but Minjoon honestly wasn't a big fan of Western parties He was a fan of quieter parties if anything
That's why he ended up just going to Rose Island There was bound to be no one there about now He should be able to use the kitchen by himself today But that wasn't actually the case, unfortunately Sootten there before him
”…Javier?”
”Ah, Minjoon”
Javier looked at Minjoon surprisedly He see There were pieces of paper with notes everywhere, and the blenders had a bunch of different sauces inside it
”The hell are you doing here?”
”Ah Well… I said I was going to ”
Javier's voice was clearly down It made sense He only had like what, a littlethat Minjoon, Anderson, and Janet e By thele dish But as soon as they got together, ideas started bouncing around everywhere, and they were able to ht dish in four days
But now Javier had to think about a dish that would fit theirs That probably put immense pressure on him He couldn't afford to hurt the other chefs because of hi here…
”Sorry I' I don't think I can talkin response Javier was probably feeling really conflicted about his decision right now And it wasn't like Minjoon could just go up and help the ?”
Javier shouted in surprise Minjoon had just tasted a bit of sauce that was in the sink Minjoon started talking io ith turkey But it tastes too co froe, huh? But it's lacking in aroe to pop a little more”
”What are you…”
”I can't advise you on what to do on your dish, but at the very least, I can try tasting it Everyone else made their dishes this way So don't you even think about stopping , but he bit his lips instead Minjoon waited for thetoo selfish, aren't I?”
”Some people just have to be selfish at tiht? I know you're feeling a lot of pressure, but there's really no need I'll help you”
”…Why?”
”We're friends, aren't we?”
There was no hesitation in Minjoon's answer
”When friends are in need, you should always help them”
