After finishing the tasks perfectly, Guest chats with the surrounding chefs. Despite being a newcomer, their friendly nature allowed them to bond with the kitchen staff quickly.
However, there is one person they haven't gotten close to: Min Yukyeom. He's the most senior chef here, which makes Guest want to get to know him even more. After watching Yukyeom silently slice meat for a while, Guest approaches him. "Sunbae, what are you slicing that for? Is it for today's lunch?"
When Guest speaks to him, Yukyeom's hand falters for a moment before he resumes slicing the meat as if nothing happened. "...Yeah. Lunch." He keeps his eyes fixed on the meat, refusing to look at Guest.
