There are several rules in the share house I live in.

first. Don’t skip breakfast.

second. Be sure to contact us if you are late returning home.

third. Be sure to make up after a fight.

And the fourth and final one…

Never let Soojin Choi into the kitchen.

In particular, the fourth case required special attention because if it was violated, a terrible disaster could occur. And now, the disaster was approaching every moment.

“…I ruined it.”

The whole family gathered around the kitchen where Choi Soo-jin entered.

It was a gathering of cowards who couldn’t even dare to check what was going on inside.

“Seo, is Sujin really in there?”

Jina, who was the last to return home from school, was shocked.

Perhaps because of the basketball club’s practice, she returned at 7 p.m.

I’m a little worried that I might be pushing too hard on my child, who recently suffered from body aches.

“…Is this such a big deal?”

There was one person who looked at the commotion with awkward eyes…

It was Yuna who returned from grocery shopping with Jinah.

When I saw that face, I thought, Oops.

I should have told this important story sooner.

“Listen carefully. There is only one taboo that must never be broken while living here.”

“…Ah, yes.”

I put on my most serious face and grabbed Yuna’s shoulder.

Even if other rules were broken, this one had to be followed at all costs.

“Don’t make Sujin cook.”

“…Uh, so you’re saying you’re not very dexterous, right? Isn’t that too much of an overdo? It’s not difficult, it’s just like regular home cooking.”

“It’s because my sister doesn’t know. Sujin’s cooking is…”

My twin sister, Hayun, trembled as if it was terrible just thinking about it.

For your information, your younger sister, Younha, was already in a state of panic.

It’s not unreasonable, because I was the one who suffered the most from Sujin’s cooking in the past.

While everyone retired in the middle of the day, I stayed until the end and finished Sujin’s cooking together.

“Oppa! I ate outside today. So, let’s go to bed early!”

“Where are you going to go out alone? You are also guilty for not informing us in advance.”

Jin-ah, who understood the situation, caught her in a hurry as she tried to jump out.

As one person decreases, the amount of food that must be eaten increases.

That means the fatality rate goes up.

Yuna watched us with a puzzled expression for a moment and then entered the kitchen.

“Sujin. Is everything going well?”

“The color of this seems a little weak. Do I need to add more soy sauce?”

“At first, the color does not come out well because there is a lot of water in it. Now, if you simmer it slowly, it will come out dark brown. Next is adjusting the seasoning.”

Sujin & Considering the ingredients that Yuna Fair bought, we can guess that the dish she is planning to make is probably steamed chicken.

Jjimdak is actually not that difficult to cook. All you have to do is peel the potatoes and carrots, cut them into pieces, add the chicken, soy sauce and sugar, and cook them thoroughly.

Depending on your taste, you may add glass noodles or shiitake mushrooms, but the basic base is the same.

I also thought that Yuna carefully selected the menu for Soojin, who was quite a beginner at cooking.

Because it wasn’t that difficult, but it was the perfect way to learn the joys of cooking.

“After all, everyone is overdoing it. I just went in and had a quick look, and it was ordinary. On the contrary, I was a bit surprised at how surprisingly good my knife skills were.”

Yuna, who came out from the kitchen to check on Sujin’s situation, shrugged her shoulders.

That’s the scary thing about Sujin’s cooking.

The middle part is normal, but after that it is complete chaos.

“I will especially pardon you. Because you must have done it with pure good intentions.”

“…Amnesty?”

“It’s enough for us to drink the poison.”

For the same reason, the youngest in my family, who was very scared there, is also eligible for a pardon.

There would have been no way for the youngest, who could not speak, to warn Yuna.

So, Hayoon, even if you cheat so desperately, you are also guilty. Please accept it humbly like Younha over there.

“…Sister. When I die, write a will for me.”

In fact, I might have just given up on life.

**

“…Did Sujin make it?”

Evening time.

Chaeyeon came back from work and smiled brightly.

At the same time, it seems like they are blaming me for not stopping them and ignoring them when they are sneaking glances at me.

So I lightly made an X with my finger.

It meant that the engine had already started, so what could be done to stop it?

“Sister, please sit down too. It went really well this time!”

“Uh…yeah. That’s how it should be.”

Chaeyeon looked at Sujin’s sparkling face and awkwardly nodded.

“It’s easier to give up.”

“What would it be easier to give up?”

“No, nothing.”

I shook my head at the question of Sujin, who was the one who created this hell.

I do this out of pure kindness. Because there is no malice, the quality is even worse.

Currently, there were seven people gathered at the table, excluding Ran.

So, the story goes that there are some Yuna who don’t need to call themselves hell.

Even though people were considerate at best, people who have not experienced it themselves do not know that they would refuse amazake and try to drink beolju. Sujin Choi’s fear of cooking.

Everyone started a guessing game with the deliciously cooked steamed chicken in front of them.

“Uh…I’ll eat well?”

While watching us, I grabbed Yuna’s hand as she tried to pick up the chopsticks.

“I’ll try it first. Because it may be undercooked.”

I picked up a chicken leg with chopsticks and tore it into small pieces.

The pure white flesh was revealed amidst the shiny brown color.

Because I didn’t cut the chicken in advance, the seasoning didn’t penetrate all the way to the inside.

‘Actually, this isn’t important.’

I looked around while holding a piece of flesh.

Everyone was focusing their attention on me.

If you think about it, it seems ridiculous.

It’s not a cartoon, there’s no way in real life there’s a person who cooks with chemicals.

Last time, poisonous substances were born with a miraculous chance, so this time may be different.

“…!”

I closed my eyes and threw the chicken into my mouth.

And then I realized.

It wasn’t a coincidence after all.

A very small piece of flesh only lightly touched my tongue, but an indescribable tingling taste hit my brain.

The bitter, salty, and sour taste like spoiled food made me dizzy for a moment.

What on earth do you do that makes normal food taste like this?

“…How about it?”

“…I’m not bad. Although it was a little less seasoned.”

But when I look at those eyes full of anxiety, I can’t tell the truth.

“Oh, I guess I added too much soy sauce as expected.”

That’s not the problem.

The reason Sujin’s cooking is of poor quality is because no one really knows why poison is created.

It was so strange that I had been with him from start to finish before under the pretext of teaching him how to cook.

Even though it was obviously a normal process using normal materials, the result was just chaos.

So this isn’t Sujin’s fault.

It’s just that God made a mistake when creating her.

“…Are you okay?”

“Much better than last time.”

I barely answered Jina’s question as she swallowed her saliva.

Of course, this is also a lie.

Instead of getting better, it got worse.

Honestly, I want to run away from this place right now.

Jinah’s face brightened a little after hearing what I said.

sorry. But I can’t be the only one who dies.

As you can see, the results after that are…

“…It’s impossible anymore.”

The first dropout occurred.

Jina, who was mechanically using chopsticks with a stiff face, ran to the bathroom with her mouth covered.

Perhaps because he is a kid who used to play basketball, his speed is unusual.

“Jin, why are you like that? Are you feeling well today?”

While everyone was in pain, Sujin, the only one with a normal face, tilted her head.

For your information, she was enjoying her cooking.

There was a reason why I couldn’t be honest with Sujin about her cooking.

To others it might be the food of hell, but to her it was ordinary food with nothing special about it.

Your cooking is really bad. Even if I say that, she doesn’t understand.

No matter how much you think about it, the quality is really bad.

“Sujin…”

“Why?”

“No, nothing.”

Yuna opened her mouth as if to say something, but then closed it.

It was a little surprising.

My pupils were shaking from the first bite, so I thought I would retire soon, but it’s still holding up well.

Ordinary people would have run away like Jina just before spitting it out without even being able to eat a few pieces.

“…Woof.“

Hayun, who was right next to her, covered her mouth.

He immediately glared.

Don’t spit it out. Don’t spit it out. Don’t spit it out.

Hayun closed her eyes and swallowed it, as if my eye contact had worked.

“…If it doesn’t taste good, you don’t have to force yourself to eat it.”

“Oh, no. delicious! I just got a little choked up!”

“Oh, well, even when I ate it, it was a bit dry. I’m waiting for you. I’ll bring you water right away.”

Sujin smiled kindly and headed straight to the kitchen.

He seemed quite happy that people said his cooking was delicious.

“…Ouch.”

“Hold on. Because it’s not a bad food for your health.“

I immediately pressed my hand to the mouth of Hayun, who was gagging.

If you do something like an off-site here, it will be a disaster.

“Younha, you too…um. I went.”

For some reason, he had his head down and didn’t move.

It seemed like he had lost consciousness due to the shocking taste.

“…I can’t help it.”

I checked the amount of remaining food.

It had decreased considerably compared to the beginning.

The amount that can be made from one chicken is limited.

No matter how I think about it, stopping Sujin from cooking two fish by saying that she might fail was a godsend.

“…!”

Hayun and Yuna, who were semi-conscious, were momentarily surprised.

“Eup…!”

I quickly covered my mouth.

Otherwise, I felt like the leftovers I had shoved into my mouth would regurgitate.

I moved my chin quickly, trying my best not to be conscious of the taste.

“Me too…!”

I used my hand to stop Yuna, who was trying to shove food in just like me.

This was pretty good for a beginner. I can’t force myself any further.

After swallowing what was in my mouth, I gathered up the last bits and stuffed them in.

“Huh? Have you already eaten everything?”

At that moment, Sujin came from the kitchen with a bucket of water and looked surprised.

“Then. Who made it, but I can’t leave it behind. It was delicious.”

He smiled and raised his thumb.

“…I’ll try to make it more delicious next time. Thank you for the delicious meal.”

Sujin smiled shyly, which was not typical of her.

Well, there were a number of unexpected victims(?), but I think we got through this safely.

“If there’s anything you want to eat, just tell me. Because I will study hard and do my best.”

“Uh, yes…I’ll be looking forward to it.”

At that time, I should at least write a will in advance.
