Cooking skill isn’t sothing that can be judged by taste alone.
It’s about how one handles ingredients—
how cleanly and efficiently the cooking process unfolds.
These subtle details co together to define a good cook.
And in that regard—
‘Why is he so good at this?’
Watching Kim Donghu cook was nothing short of shocking.
He moved with the confidence of soone deeply familiar with high-end ingredients.
There was no way his food could taste bad.
Despite the suddenness of the situation,
the chefs’ faces were filled with both awe and unease.
‘Isn’t his level way too high?’
So far, the 15-minute recipes had worked well
because most guests didn’t have refined culinary tastes.
Busy celebrities hardly had the ti—
‘To clear their schedules just to eat sothing amazing.’
But Kim Donghu was an entirely different case.
Not only could he appreciate Michelin-level flavors,
but he could also cook them himself.
Naturally, the pressure on the chefs preparing dishes for him—
‘Am I trembling right now?’
—skyrocketed.
"Wow... The skill level here is extraordinary! We captured every move with the cara, and..."
"I think people are going to be completely blown away when this airs. He’s too good at this!"
Kim Jungju and Ahn Seunghwan’s words were t with nods of agreent from the chefs.
At the sa ti, the chefs assigned to cook under Kim Donghu’s “Taste of Korea” the looked visibly nervous.
"Do you feel confident?"
"Yes! Absolutely!"
With a loud cheer—
"Then let’s start the 15-minute cooking battle!"
The competition to serve Kim Donghu began.
*****
"Ugh... College life is so exhausting."
Jieunbi, a 21-year-old sophomore and a diehard Kim Donghu fan, furrowed her brows under the weight of endless assignnts.
"But!"
Her frown disappeared instantly.
"Today’s the day Donghu’s on Please Take Care of My Refrigerator!"
She’d missed last week’s episode without knowing he’d appear.
But this ti, she was ready.
‘There’s no way I’m missing it live!’
Her excitent peaked as Kim Donghu appeared on screen.
After the the and matchups were decided,
his refrigerator was finally revealed—
"Huh?"
Even Jieunbi couldn’t help tilting her head.
"...All these ingredients look... staged."
Truffles, pine mushrooms—
ingredients that scread luxury filled his fridge.
"...Is this fake?"
Just as suspicion began to creep in—
- “These are ingredients I often use for cooking. Should I show you sothing simple?”
Kim Donghu stepped in, cutting off any doubts.
Jieunbi had seen enough staged broadcasts to know most of them followed scripts.
Rarely did unscripted segnts go smoothly.
"Wait... This could backfire if he sses up."
She voiced her worries out loud.
But Kim Donghu’s cooking progressed at lightning speed.
And—
"What?"
His skills were no joke.
As the situation took a positive turn—
‘Phone!’
Jieunbi imdiately opened her online community app.
Sharing monts like this made them even more fun.

Maybe it was because I cooked myself and even received praise for it—
The atmosphere didn’t lean toward suspicion of staging anymore.
If I had just been an actor, the doubts might have persisted.
But being an Olympic heavyweight boxing gold dalist carried its own weight.
“Yeah, this feels right. This is how it should be.”
With an overwhelmingly positive response, Please Take Care of My Refrigerator wrapped up smoothly.
While hearing about Kim Donghu through news articles was great,
nothing compared to seeing him in action on TV.
“But seriously, does he ever take a break?”
Jieunbi suddenly recalled Kim Donghu’s packed schedule.
‘He went overseas for collaborations with international brands and then ca back just to film this show?’
And the issue wasn’t that this was his only variety show.

‘Seriously... when does Kim Donghu even rest?’
Unless he had ten bodies, his schedule seed impossible to handle.
Jieunbi marveled at his superhuman stamina.
anwhile, Kim Donghu—despite being at the center of all this—
“Can I... not go?”
“You have to. You don’t have a choice.”
—was preparing to part ways with Shin Yerim.
The Inevitable Farewell
Honestly, this had been expected.
‘Yerim should’ve had more exposure to the dia sooner.’
As my manager, she’d always been by my side, handling schedules and taking care of the details.
But once foreign reporters caught sight of her and spread the word about her being a model,
luxury brands and fashion magazines pounced on her.
‘She should’ve blown up as soon as she turned 20. It’s just happening a little later than expected.’
For a model, overseas gigs offered significantly better opportunities.
Yerim’s move abroad was only natural.
And that ant—
“I could just keep working in Korea, right?”
“No way. Overseas is way better for you.”
The ti had co for us to part ways.
“You’re right. This is such a good opportunity... whining about it would just be childish, right?”
Yerim put on a mature front despite her gloomy expression.
She knew exactly how valuable this chance was.
I nodded at her composed response.
“Yeah, you should go. It’s not like we’re saying goodbye forever. Just make it big and co back.”
Yerim nodded too, but then—
as if sothing suddenly ca to mind—
her eyes lit up.
“Hey, do you rember? The promise we made when we turned 20?”
A brief mont of thought—
then my eyes widened in panic as the mory ca rushing back.
“No! No way! Not now! We can do it later!”
“No, now’s the ti.”
But—
Ssshh—
Yerim was faster.
She began taking off her clothes.
“You promised you’d let see, rember?”
