Cooking Genius With God

Shortly after Deputy Kim made the bomb remarks, different reactions erupted.

-Phhaha!

"Oh, my God."

Young people these days say they're the Sampo generation, but that's exactly what Mr. Kim is like.

"Because you gave up dating, marriage, childbirth?"

- No. They give up their love cells for dating, marriage, childbirth and so on. What do you mean Yejin and Mingyu? Hahaha!

Likewise, Choi Han-seok, who was seriously watching the situation, laughed his head off, and Yumi became as if she were looking at something that was not in this world.

He stared blankly at Kim with his eyes as if they were filled with emptiness of the universe.

By the way, Haru also didn't know that Deputy Kim was like this.

Is this what you've always heard of?

I knew from the words I shared with my teammates over lunch that he was not dating right now, but I never imagined it would be this much.

"I know it sounds weird, but I'm really serious. Mr. Haru. You must have had your first love."

"First love? Well, I don't have one either."

To be honest, it's not something to laugh about because you're so serious.

It was a little strange for Kim, who is now in his early 30s, to talk about his first love, even talking about his unborn child out of the blue.

"You're saying that Ji-young is your first love, right?”

"That's right. Actually, a member of the department next to us was scouted a few days ago. As a team leader. I just knew that and came back from lunch. We bumped into each other at work.”

He was your first love?

"You know, the team leader was my crush from elementary school? My school didn't even have a reunion, so I forgot about it in my head. I knew it as soon as I saw your face. How did one thing not change? It's been such a long time."

Deputy Kim said.

Her name is Park Jiyoung.

I liked bobbed hair since elementary school, so I kept having bobbed hair. Even now, we're in our 30s together, so I could recognize it at once.

He seems to be doing a good job as a team leader because he is still charismatic with glasses on."

Kim said that she became like a stone the moment she first saw her.

"So what happened? You both ran into each other in the company without knowing anything."

Although she had salty cold eyes, Yumi seemed to have become interested.

When asked with his usual friendly personality, Kim continued to scratch his head as if he had no choice.

"Of course, they were both very surprised! 'Are you from Gyeongmyeong Elementary School?' 'Oh, right! Park Ji-young, 4th grade class 8!" She made a fuss and went to talk with her after a cup of coffee from the vending machine."

"Oh, really? Then did you still have feelings for Mr. Kim? To him!"

"In fact, I didn't have time to think about dating until then. Do you study and build up your qualifications when you are a student? I had so much to do. But now that I'm in a big company and they even put me on behalf of me. To be honest... Yes. It was on my mind."

That's why you're so out of it. It means that my first and last crush was in elementary school. I've been working so hard on my studies.

Mumbling, "As expected, it was the sandpaper generation!" Choi Han-seok listened to Kim with a sense of excitement.In fact, there was nothing more intriguing than this first love story.

It was an experience that anyone would have experienced at least once in their school days.

Of course, the speaker was Kim, who reached the high school after becoming a beginner in dating, but wouldn't it still be fun?

"So what happened? That's how we met."

"We talked over a cup of coffee. How have you been? It's nice to see you after a long time. And this is meant to be, but we talked about meeting outside of the company."

"Oh, so what? So what?"

"So...." Jiyoung said, "What do you want to eat?" You said you wanted to go to the snack bar that we used to go often when we were in elementary school."

"Oh, oh! It was a great atmosphere!"

Yumi gradually fell in love with Kim's story.

Haru and Choi Hanseok were also picking up their ears.

"Was the atmosphere good?”

"It's no different than the woman asking me to eat first. I think Jiyoung has a crush on Mr. Kim, too."

"Jiyoung likes me..."….”

Kim's face, which was already red at Yumi's words, turned redder.

As expected, the more I looked at him, the more innocent he was when it came to dating.

Yumi stared into the air imagining the foods as if she had a taste for food.

"In the old days, the snack bar in front of the school was no joke. Tteokbokki Sundae Fried Tripe Set, Pikachu Pork Cutlet and Slushy. They sell jjolmyeon, kimbap, too."

"We used to eat tteokbokki and kimbap the most. We both studied very hard and we went to the same cram school, so we often went to snack bars after school."

"What, what. You've made a lot of progress for an elementary school crush! So, did you decide to go to a snack bar together?”

"Yes, but there's a problem. The snack bar disappeared. The lady said she can't sell anymore because she's old, but it doesn't taste like it anywhere else."

"Ahhhhhaha.

"Jiyoung was really disappointed. He loved it so much. That snack bar tteokbokki and gimbap."

Kim, whose face is now completely red, drank another glass of soju.

The kkanpunggi and other side dishes you gave me as a side dish were about to bottom out.

Manager Kim, who drank almost two bottles of soju, took a moment.

I was flustered because I couldn't keep my head straight, perhaps because I was so drunk.

And yet, seeing him say everything he had to say, he seemed really serious.

"Actually, I mean me? I was going to be brave. I'm 30 years old now. Because I'm an adult. I want to narrow the distance with Ji-young somehow."

"Didn't I like you when I was in school?"”

"That's right, so...…. Oh, you don't have to feel pressured. I think the best cook I know is the boss, so I'm just saying this carefully. If you don't mind, could you do it once this Friday? A dish of our memories."

Mr. Kim asking for a favor with a sincere voice.

In fact, it was not difficult to make a menu.

I've been shopping every day at the table, so I can just change the menu on Friday.

However, it was never easy to recreate the taste of Tteokbokki and Gimbap, a snack bar of memories.One day, I was confident to make ordinary tteokbokki very delicious, but honestly I wasn't confident to make the taste of the memories.

I don't think so because I've never been to a snack bar in front of my school one day.

I didn't even think about snacks because I didn't have enough money, and I had lunch and dinner at the restaurant where I worked.

It was to save money on food.

The day that started with no money had a lot to learn to get a job at the Michelin 3-star restaurant, Koo Jeon-hwa, and it cost money to learn.

"Well."

Haru began to think seriously.

A dish that you don't know.

Something I've never tried before.

To be honest, I would have just refused if it were before.

I don't think the current snack bar would taste the same as before, and the risk was too high to make a guess.

But I'm not alone in this day.

There was Choi Han-seok, and crucially, there was Yumi who glistened her eyes in the two letters of street food.

I could tell by her eyes.

"Yumi, have you eaten a lot of snacks?"

"Wow, that was crazy! When I was in elementary and middle school, my nickname was Red Queen. You always have tteokbokki sauce on your mouth. I used to be a regular customer. When the flower in front of the school ordered tteokbokki at a snack bar, she cut the seaweed roll and put it on top of it."

"That's fine. Yumi needs to help this time.”

"Don't worry! I'm really confident about tteokbokki!”

Yumi raised her right arm coolly and shouted fighting.

Haru, who nodded, said yes, grabbed Kim's mental line, which was about to change his mind.

"You said Friday, didn't you? Please bring Jiyoung then. I'll make it as similar as possible."

"Thank you very much. Boss."

"What? We even have a menu recommendation box in the first place.”

Of course, even if I overcome all of those things, I couldn't help but listen to my original regular customer's request.

Kim, who stood up on the table, staggered and left the restaurant.

When I just entered the restaurant, I looked like a dying person, but now my face is very messy.

Maybe it's not because I'm drunk.

Shortly after he left, the door opened at midnight.

Choi Han-seok, who had a human body, hit the table and bent his fingers wildly.

My first love in my 30s. Even when I was in elementary school, I had a crush! Ugh, that's cringe-worthy!

"But Mr. Kim was very sincere.”

I mean, Haru, that's what I'm saying. It's more cheesy because you mean it! Well... I want to cheer for you strangely though.

"Don't you think that's what first love is all about? I feel like I'm cheering for them. I hope it goes well."

"CEO Haru. By the way, it's amazing. First love of a regular customer!”

Yumi looked quite excited.

The day was also a bit restless.

I've been dealing with ghosts almost every day, and now that something pink happens, I'm a little interested, but it's still a little awkward.

But now that I've got the job, what I have to do is clear.

"I'll have to try all the tteokbokki around here from tomorrow. So that we can make comparisons."

"Can I come with you?”

"Yumi, you can take a rest. You don't want to, do you?"

"Of course! I can't miss tteokbokki!"

Yumi clenched her right fist, saying she meant it.

But seeing him swallow his saliva, I realized that he really likes tteokbokki.That's why I had faith.

"Good. I've cooked heart-warming dishes for ghosts. Sometimes this isn't bad."

"No, you're not. Boss! This is a heartwarming dish, too. In a sense."

Yumi giggling and joking as if it's fun.

The day I smiled and took it over shone in my eyes.
