Jo Minjoon smiled without any word. Originally, he had this temperament, but now that he came all the way here he couldn’t act like this anymore. There were many people that wanted to return to the past. And he was also one among those people. Why he returned, he couldn’t know the reason. There were no reasons, and perhaps he could only have been lucky. Time turned back, and he was given an opportunity. The opportunity to cook. If he missed this chance, Jo Minjoon couldn’t be stately to himself anymore.
“It’s because I want to be a good cook like you.”
“You are telling me to make it more delicious, right?”
“It’s the breakfast made by the unparalleled Kaya Lotus, is there something not delicious that’s made by her?”
“Ugh, what’s with the compliments? So disgusting.”
Even after saying that, she couldn’t help the corner of her mouth from rising. She was inevitably putting strength, and in the end she got angry.
“Ah! Because of you I’m smiling for nothing!”
“Then you can smile. Why are you acting that embarrassed?”
“Ah, I don’t know. I’m going to cook. Don’t talk to me. The kitchen is a place where if you get sloppy for even a moment, an accident can happen! Understood?”
“Now it seems that you are looking to become a public benefit model.”
Kaya didn’t reply and glared at him. If he saw that as a cute charm, did he have something weird in his eyes? Actually, just like he saw her as an existence that was no different to a an idol, perhaps feeling that way may be obvious. Kaya rubbed her eyes with her fingers and said.
“Ah, my eyes hurt. So what should I do for breakfast?”
“A porridge or paella should be fine.”
“If Chloe was here, she would be terrified because of the carbohydrates.”
“We aren’t even bodyguard……. Ah, I said bodyguard. We aren’t even bodybuilders, so there’s no need to do that. In the first place you don’t even exercise.”
“I do. I lift dumbbells, and what’s that thing you grip with your hands?”
“You do it once or twice and leave it.”
Kaya turned her eyes to the eggs instead of replying. Jo Minjoon shook his head.
“You have to do something about starting breakfast with eggs. I didn’t really like eating eggs for breakfast.”
“What? Why is that not delicious?”
“My mouth gets dry while I sleep, and think about putting eggs on top of that. You can only not like it.”
“That’s why you eat it along with sausages or bacon. The deliciousness of the egg is going to wash that dry mouth of yours. You really can’t understand this flavor?”
“I also don’t like eating things like bacon or sausages that have a lot of oil. I prefer roasting it.”
“Fish doesn’t have oil? I understand your cooking style, but stop acting that stubbornly!”
At Kaya’s words, Jo Minjoon face became absentminded. He looked at Kaya’s face as if he became possessed. Kaya frowned.
“What. What. Why.”
“……..My cooking style?”
“Right. Your cooking style. What about that?”
“Do I also have a style? I…..am just like that. Just cook this and that, and copy the dishes of others. Honestly speaking, the cooking method is also that way and plain. But I have a style?”
“That plainness is your style. You stupid.”
Kaya said as if she couldn’t understand.
“Are you a machine? You are a person. If you are a person you have a character, and if you have a character that’s shown in your cooking.”
“I’m originally the tranquil type. I don’t have any colour.”
“That’s why not having any colour is your style. Why? People must always be magnificent?”
“……..Then what’s the most delicious thing among the ones I made?”
“Making anything with a sauce.”
Kaya said with a calm voice. When Jo Minjoon’s eyes became round, Kaya continued speaking.
