The owner who had black hair and glasses said in a disappointed voice. At first glance, this young korean owner seemed to be in his thirties. Precisely speaking, he was korean american. Just that he didn’t know how to speak korean.
The owner didn’t think himself to be korean, but even so it seemed that he missed it quite a bit. At the same time, he seemed to be a fan of Grand Chef. The owner continued to speak.
“How do you feel after being in korea for a while? You also ate the food of the other participants, right? How was it?”
“It’s different from time to time. I normally make not too seasoned food, so I make most of it salty, but It’s still delicious.”
“Well. A good chef can make good food anywhere and anyhow. Use my rice well.”
That guy spoke just like he was the farmer that had harvested that rice himself. But Jo Minjoon didn’t particularly point that out.
It was at the moment when he was leaving the store. His handphone rang. Jo Minjoon held the rice sack with one hand and took out his handphone. He tought that it was going to be Anderson, but the name that showed on the screen was out of his expectations. Jo Minjoon brought the handphone to his ear.
“Hello?”
[…….What are you doing?]
“I just brought rice and i’m returning right now.”
[ Why are buying rice now? Didn’t you buy it in the morning? ]
“I wanted to use the least amount possible and buy just at times. Is it too excessive?”
[ Overly excessive. ]
“Is it?”
After that, they both remained silent for a moment. Rather than they didn’t have any words to say, it seemed more like they were hesitating to bring that up. In the end, the one who talked first was Jo Minjoon.
“Is it fine?”
[ What? ]
“The atmosphere of the team. They say that Chloe fought with a customer.”
[ … … … ]
No sound was heard through the phone. Jo Minjoon didn’t pressure her. Kaya said in a mortifying voice.
[ It’s because of me. That Chloe fought. ]
Jo Minjoon didn’t get surprised. Because he thought that that was the case. Chloe wasn’t the type to clash with the customer just because she got cursed. Especially if it was in the middle of a team mission, there was nothing else to say. Perhaps, if Chloe caused the problem, he thought that it wouldn’t be for her sake, but for another one.
And if that other person was Kaya, then not even a little bit of it would be strange. Rather, it was too simple. Because Kaya was usually the troublemaker. However, there was no need to say that with his own mouth. Jo Minjoon didn’t say anything and listened to her. A thick and rough voice. Her voice that seemed to have caught a cold, seemed harsher than usual.
[ That guy looked at me and said. That I seemed delicious. Well, even if his eyes were directed at me, perhaps he was talking about the kochi……..]
“Wait. What? What did that bastard say?”
[ I told you. That I seemed delic……..]
“No, stop it. There’s no need to repeat that. So. So Chloe got angry at him?”
[ No. It’s true that she got angry for my sake, but the story is a bit different. You know my temperament. I’m harsh and…….. A little dirty. I’m not someone to just listen to that and keep my mouth shut. ]
