Original subtitles

It is true that Seo You-kyung likes me.

However.

I'm in love with

Seo You-kyung.

You said it yourself.

What did you say will happen if you go out with someone in your kitchen?

Choi Hyeon-uk,

you're fired.

I acknowledge

that I have behaved in a way that would lose your trust in me

as a chef.

However, I don't intend to apologize

for loving Seo You-kyung.

Therefore,

I have no right to be your chef.

And so...

I'll leave this kitchen

on my own cognizance right now.

So you are really going to leave?

Just like I said.

Chef, how can you be so irresponsible?

What will happen to our kitchen if you leave us with no backup plans?

Of course I would not have done this if I were the only chef.

You have Chef Oh, so you will be fine even if I leave now.

It didn't feel right to have two head chefs in the kitchen anyway.

This is actually a good thing for you.

You can have this room all to yourself

and change the kitchen any way you want.

How about You-kyung?

What are you going to do about You-kyung?

Actually, I'm curious about that myself.

For the last time,

I would like a cup of espresso that a junior waiter serves me.

No big deal.

It is the last time.

Here.

Let this be the last of our ill-fated relationship as well.

This is not coffee.

It's like a poisonous drink.

Go ahead and drink it all.

So how does it feel to finally get your revenge?

Sweet as honey.

See you around.

See you around for what?

For now,

finish up the dinner shift

and I will see you after work.

Hyeon-uk,

how could you leave like this?

This is ridiculous!

Don't leave, Chef.

I know you said there is to be no romance in this kitchen,

but that doesn't mean you have to leave.

If you leave,

what will happen to You-kyung?

Aren't you happy there will no longer be hardship and harsh words in the kitchen?

Come on.

-Chef. -Chef.

Just because I'm not here

that doesn't mean you can quit

or give Chef Oh a hard time, got it?

If you do, you will get it from me.

-Chef! -No...

I'll be leaving now.

-Chef! -Chef!

He's really leaving?

Chef!

Don't go.

What should we do?

Well, he dug his own grave with the no romance

in the kitchen rule.

I guess things will be better in the kitchen from now on.

I feel so good right now.

Sous-chef, let's go down now. It's getting cold.

Let's go.

He left because

he knew I will take care of the kitchen.

He's never left a kitchen like this before.

In the end, it was me that made him leave.

What will you do now?

You came here for Choi Hyeon-uk.

There can't be a kitchen without a chef.

I will take care of the dinner shift alone.

Did you get a chance to talk to You-kyung?

No, not yet.

As Chef Choi Hyeon-uk always said,

the guest does not know what goes on in the kitchen.

Let's give it our best as we always did.

Aren't you going to answer me?

-Yes, Chef! -Yes, Chef!

-Yes, Chef! -Yes, Chef!

Jung Ho-nam.

Yes?

Please take Triple Flavor Pasta orders instead of me.

Three...

Yes, Chef!

This is amazing.

How could an absence of one person

make such a difference?

Be gentle.

Could you bring the celeriac puree?

Yes, Chef.

Who prepared the celeriac?

I did, Chef.

Who taught you to boil the milk with the celeriac?

Seung-jae.

Yes?

You know there is a better way of boiling the milk

with the celeriac.

Please show You-kyung step-by-step how to do it right.

Yes, Chef!

I'd happily get told off if this is the way I get told off.

You are very different compared to someone.

Compared to someone?

Nonsense.

You need to be berated to learn and get better.

Aren't I right?

Can't you tell the difference between someone

who is willing to teach you and those who just suck up to you?

How could you ever get better?

What did you say?

-Hey! -Will you stop it?

Do you want to be responsible for a person that's died of hunger?

I bet you are all slower than a snail.

Don't just stand there like a scarecrow. Move your butts now!

-Yes, Chef! -Yes, Chef!

-Jung Ho-nam. -Yes, Chef!

Don't space out and stir that pan one more time. Got that?

I got it, Chef!

-Ji-hun. -Yes, Chef.

Stir that risotto more quickly!

Are you making some porridge? Is that it?

Yes, Chef!

Goldfish.

You better concentrate.

Focus!

Did you spill the oil in here?

Even a man could get morning sickness just by looking at your pasta.

Are you laughing?

Do it again.

Move it. Faster.

Aren't you going to focus?

-Yes, Chef! -Yes, Chef!

He sure did clear out his things fast.

GRUMPY CHEF

What's with the face?

I'm the one without a job.

How can you just leave me like that?

Do you only think about yourself?

How can you just run away like that without thinking about me?

Run away?

Yes. I call that running away.

When did I run away from you?

It's only been one dinner shift, but the kitchen felt so empty without you.

Did you know that?

I want to be with you.

I like it when you are standing at the chef's table.

You look the best when you are there.

But you had to leave because of me.

You left everybody because of me.

You have no job because of me.

Did you really think I was going to congratulate you

and say that you did a good job?

Yes!

I was hoping you would pat me on the back and say that I did the right thing.

Why do you always act as you please?

Why can't you be patient and take the time to think about it a little?

Instead you just yell out,

get angry,

and cause troubles without thinking it through.

Then how long did you want me to stay there,

sneaking around like that?

Do you think I like sneaking around?

You better stop right there.

We are leaving too.

All three of you? All at once?

Me too!

Please bring back Chef Choi.

If you don't bring him back,

then we are going to quit as of tomorrow.

What are we going to do if all four of you quit at once?

Don't you know that we are fully booked until the end of March?

That is why we are asking you to bring him back.

It is not Chef Choi who should be leaving, he is innocent.

We wanted to quit with him,

but we decided to at least wait until dinner shift was over.

You will never see the four of us in this kitchen

unless you bring him back.

That is it, we are leaving now.

What did I do wrong?

Don't you know that I did this for you?

How can I work there when they all know

we were both involved in a relationship and that is why you left?

So why don't you just quit too?

Let's say I quit. Then what?

Hey.

Is La Sfera the only kitchen in the world?

Why do you act as if that is the only kitchen you can work at?

Are you their kitchen ghost or something?

You have skills and experience so there are a lot of options for you.

What about me? What would I do?

Then I guess you can stay there like a leech

and work a hundred thousand more years.

You have the president who likes you and I left the place on my own will.

You must be happy. Good for you.

Hey!

Let's say that I left my job with you and followed you to a new kitchen.

Nobody will truly accept us, no matter where we go.

How uncomfortable would that be for you standing at the chef's table?

Even if you get a job at another restaurant,

I can't come with you.

The best kitchen for me isn't La Sfera's kitchen anymore.

It's where I can be with you.

Wherever we go, I will only be a package deal

and you will be burdened by me.

There is no other place but La Sfera that we can be together.

So what?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry this had to happen.

So, what now?

I feel so bad about everything that happened today.

If you ask me to jump, I will jump down from here.

Jump then.

You said you would jump.

So you are going to stay?

You will stay there even without me?

Come back, Chef.

I don't want to.

-I'm off to school. -Okay. You-sik.

Yes?

-It's still cold out. -Okay.

I hear these days even women can become famous doctors and professors.

There is a famous female chef too.

What?

Her name is Oh Se-yeong.

She comes on TV every day and also wrote a book.

-She is a chef? -Yes.

She must really be good then.

I hope You-kyung will challenge herself

to become like her too.

Me too.

I'm late. I have to go now.

Okay.

Hello.

Is this Chef Oh Se-yeong?

Yes, this is she.

I'm calling from New Chef Organizing Committee.

I'm going to work now, Chef.

Why don't you just quit also?

I'm going to work.

Just quit.

Do you think I quit for no good reason?

People are going to give you hard time

and make you suffer.

They are going to harass you even more than before.

You won't be able to take it all alone. Just quit now.

I will see you later.

I'm telling you to quit.

You are early.

Yes.

I was worried that you and Chef Choi would both leave us.

I have to be here so that Chef can come back.

I have a question.

Does it mean Chef is really fired because Mr. Seol said so?

Not necessarily.

Right? He is not really fired unless you say so.

Yes.

How do you really feel about this?

Do you want me to be honest or should I sugarcoat it?

You can be honest.

You might be disappointed in me

if I'm honest.

I will not be disappointed if you tell me the truth.

I wouldn't like it if you sugarcoat it.

You obviously know that I like you already,

so it's a little disadvantageous for me if he works with you in the kitchen.

And?

But it's also true that I'm afraid

you will leave my restaurant to be with him somewhere else.

I wasn't sure which was better yesterday,

but now that I see you here,

I know it's better to have both of you here whether I like it or not.

That's the truth.

You are a much better person than I thought.

The more I know you, the more I realize you are a good person.

It's going to get tough from now on.

Can you help out Se-yeong?

Why? What's going on?

Here is your pasta. Enjoy.

-Excuse me. -Yes.

-Can we have one seafood tomato pasta -Yes.

-and one shrimp cream sauce pasta. -Sure.

One seafood tomato and one shrimp cream pasta.

-Okay! -Got it.

Yes, Mr. Seol.

-Are you busy? -What's up?

All the Italian bandits quit along with the chef.

None of them came to work today.

How are you going to run the restaurant? How many do you have left?

That is why I need you. Can you come right now to help us?

What?

We just opened up our own shop.

It's hard for us to just leave here to help you right now.

What? How can you do this to me?

I'm sorry.

Hello? Hey!

What are you doing here? It's still early.

Hyeon-uk.

All of us including Eun-su

left the work from today on.

If you decide to work somewhere else, you can't go alone.

You need to take us with you.

Are you all out of your mind? Didn't you hear me?

The one who should be quitting is still working

and those who should be working are quitting.

Who is going to cook today then?

There is a double amount of reservations today.

It's going to be a madhouse from the lunch.

-Then should we go now? -Hey.

Seriously.

-Altogether. -Goodness.

Get back to work now.

Go back right now. Hurry up.

Go.

You rascals!

Hey!

-Use the stairs. Go! -Yes.

You-kyung.

You sure are something, you know that?

How can you stand here as if nothing happened

when Chef Choi gave up his job for you?

This is why women are scarier than men.

You can never tell by just looking at them.

Loyalty is a man's quality.

Look here. They all quit out of loyalty.

Can you stop now, please?

How scary.

Can we be of help? We will also lend a hand.

Nemo, since you have the most experience buying the ingredients,

can you provide the chefs with the ingredients they need?

Sure.

Also do you mind helping out with washing the frying pans as well?

Yes, Chef!

I'll take the orders for the tomato sauce and Triple Flavor Pasta.

Jung Ho-nam can take the cream sauce and risotto

and I need You-kyung to come back to the pasta line

and help out with the rest of the orders.

Yes, Chef!

How about me?

I need you to be at the chef's table.

What? Me at the chef's table?

All you have to do is read the orders.

Loud and clear.

Just read them?

-Yes. -Okay.

Sous-chef.

Do you mind taking over the main line?

It's unrealistic for me to try to cover both lines.

Okay. I'll do my best.

Everyone needs to be on their toes.

Don't forget that we only have half the chefs

but double the work.

Don't forget that!

-Yes, Chef! -Yes, Chef!

Table 3,

one Sicilian eggplant dish,

two seafood tomato sauce linguine.

Table 16,

one celeriac puree,

one grilled scallop,

one chickpea soup,

one chestnut soup,

one chitarra pasta,

and one snapper fillet.

Sang-sik, you take the scallop.

Seung-jae, start the snapper.

-Yes, Sous-chef. -Yes, Sous-chef.

-Nemo. -Yes?

-Can you get me some scallop? -Yes, I will get it.

Table 8.

One balsamic salad,

two vongole,

one Triple Flavor Pasta.

Table 19,

one carbonara

and one shrimp cream spaghetti.

Table 24,

one tomato sauce lobster linguine...

and...

two aglio e olio.

Are you alone, sir?

Can I still order? I know it's late.

Of course. This way, please.

I heard there are two chefs in this restaurant. Is this true?

We did until yesterday, but one quit so we only have one chef right now.

One of them quit?

Yes. We only have Chef Oh Se-yeong left in our kitchen.

Can I order a special plate that is not on the menu?

What would that be, sir?

Ginseng pasta, please.

Ginseng pasta?

Yes.

I'm sorry, sir, but we do not have any dishes

that use ginseng as an ingredient in our restaurant.

So I can tell you with confidence

that would be rather difficult.

Is that so?

Then...

Can I make a reservation to come back in two days?

Please let the chef know.

She won't refuse my request.

Excuse me.

Can you make ginseng pasta?

Ginseng pasta?

That old gentlemanly man, who does he think this is?

Why does he want ginseng in his pasta?

He needs to go somewhere else if he is looking to get more stamina.

People ask for all sorts of things these days.

That's not even on the menu.

Ginseng pasta?

Did he leave?

Yes. He left right after he ordered.

Do you know him?

That is why he said you will not refuse.

What?

He made a reservation. He is coming back in two days.

It was somewhere in the middle.

Here it is.

Ginseng pasta.

What do you want?

Chef, are you good at making ginseng pasta?

If I follow the recipes on this notebook, would I really fail?

If you can't believe it, just try them out yourself.

Find out if they are all failures or some of them have succeeded.

You have a lot more time on your hands. Can't you just tell me?

Are you outside?

Where are you going?

You sure are curious for someone who is still working at a place

where she made her boyfriend quit his job for her.

So is there any successful ones or not?

Why should I tell you that?

You are practically asking me which tree will drop its fruit

when you are lying underneath it.

There is no such tree.

I'm hanging up now.

He's so grumpy.

I knew it was you.

When did you come?

-Did you meet anyone on the way? -Who?

You are here.

When did you arrive?

Why didn't you call me? I have so much time now.

Come on in.

What brings you here?

Did you miss your homeland now that you are an old man?

Did you suddenly miss your students?

That mouth of yours.

I was asked to be the head judge for the New Chef Culinary Challenge.

If it's for New Chef, they should've asked for fresh young people like me,

not an old fart like you.

That competition is doomed from the outset.

It's because you are not competent.

Other new chefs have already taken your spot.

I saw your name on the list of judges.

Let me ask you one thing.

Do you think you have the right to judge others?

Do you think you have the right to cook as a chef?

I know the mistake I made was a huge one.

It's the biggest mistake a chef could ever make.

So I have been living my last few years with regret

and making atonement to you and Hyeon-uk.

You expect me to believe that?

I thought you two have made up

when I heard that you two are working together in the same kitchen.

But I get to the restaurant

only to find out that you have kicked Hyeon-uk out of his own kitchen?

That's not true.

I dug my own grave this time.

I cannot understand what you two are doing.

At least show me that you can cook better than before.

Don't forget my order.

Two days from now on,

I'm going to try each of your ginseng pasta.

You came all the way here to check on my pasta?

I'm not going to make it.

It's not like you are still my teacher.

It's not like you are going to give me a good grade anyway.

Seriously.

What did you say?

It would be an honor for me to cook for you.

I need to get back to work before the dinner shift.

What about you? Don't you have anything to do?

I'm out of a job.

Good job. You sound proud, don't you?

I will be leaving then.

Did you at least bring me some good wine?

What wine? There's nothing for you!

The main point of this pasta is to get rid of the bitterness in the ginseng.

There's a star on the Barolo wine.

Barolo.

Gosh.

It would be nice if Chef was here to cook with me.

How can I make him come back?

Are you sure

Se-yeong didn't kick you out?

I already told you it's not like that.

It's because of your temper, isn't it?

You only picked up my bad habits.

I told everyone there is to be no romance in my kitchen

and I fired a cook for that.

Then I did it. I fell in love.

What did you do?

Goodness. Come here.

What now?

-You know how old I am? -How stupid are you?

How could you be so foolish?

You sure are a person of principle.

How can you fall in love again after all you went through?

You were burned so badly. You have no sense of judgment.

This time, I found a good one. She really is a good woman.

Paolo called when he heard

that I'm coming to Korea.

He wants you back.

Let's go back to Italy if all you are doing is fooling around.

There is no such thing as a secret in this world.

Everyone knows what happened between you and Se-yeong.

People are properly acknowledging your skills.

He really wants me back?

Yes.

Paolo's restaurant?

Should I go?

I really did want to work there.

So, that's what I'm saying.

That is why I came back to judge this contest.

To bring you back.

That hurts.

You are still the same.

"Culinary Challenge."

-Hey. -What?

If Chef Oh is the judge,

wouldn't she at least give us more attention

since we work together?

I think that Lady Luck is on our side.

You're here.

Why the long face, Sous-chef?

Is there bad news?

I'm not sure if it's true,

but there is a rumor going around about Chef Oh.

The rumor says she actually tricked her rival during the contest

so that she can win the first ever grand prize won by a Korean in Italy.

-What? -Really?

-That can't be. -And...

That rival

was Choi Hyeon-uk.

-What? -What?

Yes.

This is your ginseng pasta.

Can you taste it for me, Chef?

It's bitter.

I already told you that all the recipes in that book were failed ones.

But you still went ahead and made it the same way?

But you said one or two of them were a successful recipe.

I thought this might be the one.

Not a single recipe in that book was a success.

Then can you tell me how to get rid of this bitter taste, Chef?

Come here.

Just come here.

I told you to find out for yourself, didn't I?

You hit me on the same spot as last time.

You made me go jobless.

The least you can do is spend time with me but all you do is work?

How long are you going to stay out of work?

It's only been one day. One single day.

You can't even stand to see me play for one day?

What did you do today?

I met up with my chef.

Chef's chef? The chef you told me about last time?

Yes, Chef's chef.

That must have been nice.

Yes, right.

I have the best time when I'm with you.

How was your day?

Why aren't you answering me?

I felt like I was walking on glass.

All the pasta chefs including Eun-su are gone,

so all of us who are left had to run around

like we were in a basketball court.

They deserved it.

On top of that, the staff is busy gossiping about me

in the kitchen, in the hall, and in the bathrooms.

And you still want to stay and work there?

Why don't you come back, Chef?

You need to quit.

Please come back, Chef.

You quit it.

Then if I leave, will you come back?

Would that be better?

I'm sorry that I like you.

It's either both of us or nothing.

I don't want us to be separated.

I will teach you how to make the ginseng pasta the correct way.

I have managed to succeed all those failed recipes.

I will teach you all of them

if you leave the restaurant.

You call yourself a teacher?

It's an order. Leave the restaurant.

Yes, Chef?

Hey!

Don't you know it's because I'm worried about you?

Why aren't you listening?

-You had to work with her yesterday? -Yes.

How's the preparation for the New Chef Culinary Challenge going?

Let me know if there is anything I can help out with.

What happened in Italy with Se-yeong?

What?

Of course.

I thought you kindly came here to persuade the runaway chef to come back.

Why don't you come back now?

If I do go back?

Come back to work, Chef.

If I do go back, does that mean I can date all I want in the kitchen?

Whether you start a war or fight in the kitchen, that's up to you.

Come and help Se-yeong.

I'm not a chef so I can only do so much in the kitchen.

I cannot just sit and watch while the quality of food

being served to my guests diminishes every day.

If you quit like this, you are breaking our contract.

Do you need my help?

Really?

-Sure. -Can you stir the pan so it won't burn?

I'm not sure if I should make the president work.

Of course. It all goes to the president after all.

That's true.

By the way,

what is this?

It's celeriac. The celery root.

I didn't know you boil this in milk.

Should I turn it off now?

The milk has evaporated.

No.

I need to put more milk in there.

I'm out of milk.

Do you mind getting the milk from the fridge?

-Milk? -Yes.

It's in the fridge.

-Here's the milk. -Here.

-Do I just pour it in? -Yes.

-That's good enough. -Okay.

Now all you have to do is stir so it won't burn.

There's nothing easy in this world.

Make sure you stir it well so that it doesn't burn.

Why don't you pour in more milk?

Are you trying to make soup?

I guess not.

I don't know why mine is not as sweet as the other chefs'.

They won't tell me the secret.

They don't share the secret? You guys work together.

That's mean.

They won't tell me.

Could you now mash it up? Use the spatula.

With a fist?

No. A spatula.

Now it's done.

-Looks all done. -It does.

It's still not sweet enough.

It's sweet. It's good.

I can never trust your taste buds.

Try this. It's really sweet.

It's sweet, right?

This is not as sweet.

Right?

We used the same ingredients and method

but how come one tastes sweeter than the other?

The milk.

This pan had the room temperature milk

and yours had the cold milk right out of the fridge. Right?

You heard the sizzling noise when you poured it into the pan, right?

Yes, you are right.

That was the only difference between the two.

Exactly.

I think I found the secret formula.

If the chefs say this tastes fine,

then I will have my own recipe too.

So this is how you create your own formula.

I played a big role here too.

Chef, can you try out this new ginseng pasta I made?

Not again. I'm sick of pasta.

Come in.

I'm going to be busy from tomorrow on so I will have no time to play with you.

Are you working now? Where?

It's a secret.

Don't you want to go anywhere? Let's go out.

Should we go to Eun-su's place?

I'm not going to his place.

Why?

Even Eun-su will not listen to me.

Nobody listens to me these days including you.

I...

might go back to Italy.

Do you want to come with me?

I can't go.

Why not?

I don't speak Italian, I have no money, I'm scared,

-and I have my dad here. -You have me.

You don't want to come?

I'm not even good in Korea. How do you expect me to work there?

I would like it the best if I can learn from my chef in his kitchen.

I'm going.

Why don't you just

bury your bones in La Sfera?

Then,

are we breaking up?

You said you don't want to come!

You are not willing to give up anything.

How can you leave in the middle of a relationship?

Do you even have a right to say that?

You don't want to quit with me or come with me.

Then what is it that you want to do with me?

Nothing?

Then try to convince me not to go.

Just say "Don't go, Chef."

Try it.

Goldfish.

I'm too scared to go anywhere because of you.

Where are you...

Why are you leaving?

Hey!

Take this back then!

Is this Chef Oh Se-yeong?

I'm calling from New Chef Organizing Committee.

Unfortunately, due to some negative rumors about you,

we needed to take you off the judges' panel.

Please be notified of this cancellation. We will call you back.

Wear your badges.

Welcome.

-Welcome. -Welcome.

I have a reservation.

Yes. Your table is ready.

This way, please.

I changed a couple of things

from the recipe that I made five years ago.

Please taste it and tell me what you think.

Where's Hyeon-uk?

He is not here.

I ordered two plates of pasta, not one.

Are you not able to deliver an order that was made not one but two days ago?

Is this all you can do?

I'm sorry, sir.

I will not take only one pasta.

I will taste it only if you bring me two.

Please, Hyeon-uk. You know how he is.

If we don't bring out both of our dishes, he will sit there all night.

Please answer the phone.

I'm not going into that kitchen.

He is asking for your pasta.

You know why he's asking for that. Can't you just please help me out?

I will never make ginseng pasta with you in your kitchen ever again.

Then please at least tell me the recipe. I will make it.

Let You-kyung make it.

What?

Seo You-kyung knows how to make it.

Hyeon-uk.

You-kyung.

Can you make

Chef Choi's ginseng pasta, please?

Me?

I've always wanted to meet you, Chef's chef.

Are you the one

who is going out with him?

Yes.

I see you have done more test.

Yes.

In Italy, I blanched the ginseng in water to get rid of the bitterness,

but I found that if you bake it in the oven with a potato,

you can get rid of the bitter taste but still keep the nutrients.

Just as what I expected from you.

Your pasta is the best, as usual.

Thank you.

Whose recipe is this?

It's Chef Choi's recipe.

All of it?

Actually, I changed one thing.

What did you change?

When I followed Chef's recipe,

the bitter taste of the ginseng threw off the balance of the pasta.

I was contemplating how to get rid of the bitterness

when I remembered that milk was used for celery roots.

When I tried blanching it in milk,

it actually went well with the ginseng

and the bitterness turned into sweetness.

You mean you used the good wine and the bitterness was still there?

Yes. I thought the Barolo wine would do the trick,

but when I tried it out, it did not thoroughly remove the bitterness.

So it was not the wine?

Chef Choi did tell me it was a failed recipe.

So I changed it a little. I'm so sorry.

Have you always known?

Can you give us a minute?

There's something we need to discuss alone.

Yes, Chef.

You didn't have to ruin his wine to win.

His recipe was not yet complete.

Even if he had used good wine,

his method back then

was incomplete.

You didn't ruin Hyeon-uk. You ruined yourself.

Look at her.

She could have used her chef's recipe,

but she found her own instead.

Why couldn't you be like her?

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry, Chef.

-Chef! -Se-yeong.

You.

Yes.

How dare you

change your chef's recipe?

-I'm sorry. -Don't apologize!

Make sure you keep changing the recipes.

Not just your chef's recipe, but even if it belongs to God or Buddha.

If it doesn't taste good, change it. Understood?

Yes, Chef... Chef's chef.

Where are you?

Why did you call me out in this cold weather?

I just felt like it.

I saw Chef's chef today.

I heard everything.

You denied it, but you were exactly like your Chef.

How am I like him?

He's awesome.

I'm not like him.

I'm better than him by a bit.

You knew he was waiting for you to come.

Why did you make me cook your ginseng pasta instead?

The ginseng pasta does not belong to Choi Hyeon-uk anymore.

It now belongs to you.

My recipe was a failure.

But yours came out a success.

So now it belongs to you.

Really?

I guess you are a little bit better than me at making ginseng pasta.

Just a little.

Does that make you happy?
