Bab 163: Retak (2)
Penerjemah: Dreamscribe
Kang Woojin berseru pelan sambil memandang dapur yang lumayan rapi. Hong Hye-yeon yang duduk di sebelahnya sedikit terkejut melihat pemandangan itu.
'Apa, siapa tuh yang masak? Entah kapan dia sempat di tengah jadwal padat— Tapi, aku penasaran juga.'
Hong Hye-yeon, yang dulu pernah terpana pada kemampuan dan selera masak Kang Woojin saat pemotretan sebelumnya, langsung merasakan rasa ingin tahu yang sama kuatnya— persis seperti PD Yoon Byung-seon dan para penulis.
Akhir kata, Woojin memberi kesan seperti chef profesional.
Oleh karena itu.
"Wah! Tentu saja!! Memungkinkan banget! Silakan gunakan dapur!"
Para penulis semringkem. Ekspresi wajah mereka mengatakan, 'Kami akan menyembah kaki kepadamu, silakan gunakan dapur.' Di saat yang sama, PD Yoon Byung-seon berbisik kepada penulis utama.
"Kita harus merekam ini, ya?"
"Tentu saja, tidak boleh dilewatkan."
"Karena hanya kita di sini, kamu pasang kamera aksi dan rekam. Dari awal hingga akhir. Tanpa mengganggu."
"Mengertu— belum terduga, ternyata Woojin~ssi datang siap masak, pasti punya sifat tsundere, ya?"
"Aku juga tidak menduga. Dengar-dengar dia sibuk dengan jadwal pemotretan, jadi aku jujur tidak berharap banyak. Ayo, kita pergi."
"Baik."
Tak lama kemudian, penulis utama mulai mengoperasikan handycam, dan PD Yoon Byung-seon yang sedang memeluk pinggangnya tersenyum lebar saat melihat Kang Woojin bangun.
"Bahan baku apa? Kami punya bumbu di sini, tapi kami harus beli apapun yang dibutuhkan."
"Baik, aku ngerti."
Woojin menjawab dengan nada tenang dan mulai mencari-cari di dapur. Tentu saja, 'resep' dan 'teknik' seorang chef sedang bekerja di pikirannya. Setelah sekitar tiga menit, ia dengan tenang mengungkapkan kesimpulannya.
"Pertama-tama, kita butuh mie kedelai (buckwheat noodles), ikan teri, kombu, daun bawang, bawang, jahe, bawang putih, dan kami sudah punya kecap manis. Jadi, perlu juga minyak wijen dan tambahan···"
Kang Woojin dengan acuh mencantumkan banyak bahan. Beberapa penulis langsung mencatat dan berlari keluar dari kantor-apartemen. Tidak lama kemudian, PD Yoon Byung-seon yang sedang mengikatkaipun bertanya sambil mengangguk kepalanya.
"Mie kedelai? Woojin~ssi, maksudmu masakan apa?"
Jawaban Woojin singkat.
"Nama belum pasti, tapi kira-kira seperti mie kedelai dengan saus kecap."
"··· Oh- Mie kedelai."
Mata PD Yoon Byung-seon langsung berbinar. Hong Hye-yeon dan penulis lainnya merasakan hal yang sama. Beberapa bahkan menelan liur, teringat mie instan dan spaghetti yang Woojin buat sebelumnya.
Tatkala itu.
"Woojin~ssi, pandang ke sini!"
Penulis utama, memegang kamera aksi, melambangkan tangan. Kang Woojin dengan alami menghadapi pandangannya. Penulis utama cepat berkata.
"Sempurna! Ini bagus. PD~nim, kita harus pakai gambar Woojin~ssi yang memakai kapaunya untuk thumbnail teaser."
"Hm, ayo, belum pernah kami umumkan tim pemeran kepada pers? Mungkin sudah saatnya kami keluarkan ini, ya?"
"Ah- Haruskah kita rilis hari ini?"
"Yuk, kita lakukan. Jika Woojin~ssi adalah kepala tim dapur, penggemar pasti akan gila, kan?"
Segala sesuatu berjalan sendiri. Apa pun itu, sudah sangat dikenal oleh Woojin.
'Coba, mereka akan mengurusnya sendiri. Tapi pakai foto diriku memakai kapaunya sebagai thumbnail— agak memalukan.'
Kira-kira 30 menit kemudian. Para penulis yang pergi belanja bahan kembali, dan sekarang ada banyak sayuran dan bumbu yang diletakkan di atas meja di depan dapur. Woojin yang telah mencuci tangannya dengan bersih, mulai mengaturnya dengan gerakan lancar.
-Swish.
Setelah mengumpulkan semua panci, penggoreng, dan pisau yang dibutuhkan, ia langsung mulai memasak tanpa ragu. Di saat itu, Hong Hye-yeon dengan hati-hati mendekat dan bertanya pelan.
"Bolehkah aku membantu?"
Jawaban Woojin dingin.
"Potong bawang putih dan jahe di situ."
"Lagik??"
"Itu penting."
"Ah- Baik."
Hong Hye-yeon yang telah membuih rambutnya panjang, pun duduk di tempatnya. Canggung tapi dengan tekun memotong sayur. Semuanya dilakukan dengan alami dan sedang direkam kamera. Kang Woojin yang sedang memotong daun bawang dan bawang di atas papan pemotong, menampilkan keterampilan memotongnya yang mencuri perhatian.
-Chop chop chop chop chop!'
PD Yoon Byung-seon dan para penulis terkagum-kagum sekali lagi.
"Sungguh menakjubkan untuk melihatnya setiap kali."
"Seni membuatmu terdiam, bukan?"
"Ini pasti akan berhasil memukau penonton di TV, seratus persen."
Fotografer utama yang mengabadarkan kedua aktor ini, khusyuk pada lengan yang terulur di lengan Woojin saat memotong.
'Otot, vena. Luar biaswa.'
Memang benar, fotografer utama tahu apa yang harus direkam. Apa pun itu, setelah selesai dengan bahan, Woojin dengan tenang mengocok penggoreng, sedikit membakar sayurannya.
Di sampingnya, mie kedelai sedang mendidih dalam panci.
Di belakangnya, Woojin sedang menyediakan kuah. Dia menambahkan sedikit kecap manis dan air ke dalam sayuran yang sudah disauté. Akhirnya, jahe dan bawang putih yang sudah dipotong Hong Hye-yeon ditambahkan. Akhirnya, minyak wijen.
Kuah dan mie kedelai sedang berkembang dengan indah.
Prosesnya lebih singkat dari yang diharukan.
"···"
Woojin mendinginkan mie kedelai yang sudah matang. Dia juga mematikan api di bawah kuah yang sedang mendidih pelan. Tidak ada keraguan dalam gerakannya, dan beberapa saat kemudian, semuanya sudah selesai.
-Swish.
Dia mengambil mangkuk yang sudah disiapkan, mengisinya dengan mie kedelai yang sudah didinginkan dengan baik, lalu menuangkan kuah yang harumnya mengalir. Di sementara waktu, PD Yoon Byung-seon mengambil sendok untuk mencicipi kuahnya. Apakah dia bingung, tampaknya terkejut.
"Woojin~ssi, rasanya agak hambar?"
Suara Woojin tetap tenang, tidak tergoyahkan.
"Ini Amerika, setelah semua. Kuahnya harus agak hambar."
"Ah—"
"Dan bumbu adalah ini."
Woojin bisik sambil menaburi potongan daun kemangi dan biji wijen ke dalam mangkuk.
"Daun kemangi punya rasa kuat, jadi cek dan ganti jika perlu."
Terakhir, ia mengeluarkan kantong sebesar telapak tangan dari bawah.
"Penyesuaian rasa dengan flakes kelp."
Flakes kelp ditaburkan secara ringan. Tidak lama kemudian, makanan Kang Woojin sudah selesai.
Kualitas makanan yang disiapkan dengan cepat ini cukup baik, dan fotografer utama yang sedang merekam uap naik dari mie kedelai dengan kamera aksi tiba-tiba mengambil sumpit.
"Aduh, enak banget??"
Dia mengaduknya dengan kuah panas dan mie kedelai, mengambil sedikit ke dalam mangkuk kecil, dan memakannya. Reaksinya langsung datang.
"··· Wow! Enak! PD~nim, ini enak banget!!"
Tidak lama kemudian, PD Yoon Byung-seon, Hong Hye-yeon, dan para penulis yang sedang menunggu buru-buru masuk. Setelah makan, semua orang merasakan rasa kenyamanan yang melanda. PD Yoon Byung-seon, yang sedikit enggan, membuat keputusan tiba-tiba.
"Ini harus dijual! Kita bisa menjual ini!! Wah- ini sempurna untuk penyembuh leka dan pasti akan enak, jadi pasti harus dijual!"
Di saat yang sama, Woojin yang diam di samping, mengamati semangkuk itu, bisik.
"Nama 'Mie Kedelai dengan Selulung' akan lebih baik."
Kemudiannya.
PD Yoon Byung-seon, sedang menikmati kreasi Kang Woojin, 'Mie Kedelai dengan Selulung,' menjelaskan rencana mendatang untuk 'Our Dining Table' kepada Woojin dan Hong Hye-yeon.
"Dengan mempertimbangkan ini adalah akhir tahun, kami berencana untuk memotret di AS tahun depan, tapi mulai dari sewa tempat, ada banyak rintangan. Jadi, kami kemungkinan akan membagi pemotretan menjadi dua fase."
Membagi pemotretan menjadi fase adalah hal yang umum dalam industri acara varietas. Terutama untuk 'Our Dining Table,' seperti pemotretan di luar negeri di mana jadwal aktor saling tumpang tindih.
"Fase pertama pemotretan akan berlangsung sekitar seminggu. 'Our Dining Table' akan tayang total 10 episode, dan sekitar 5 episode akan berasal dari fase pertama pemotretan. Kami akan mulai mengedit di akhir tahun, dan premiere resmi direncanakan untuk awal tahun depan."
Meskipun ia tersenyum, bagi PD Yoon Byung-seon, ini hampir seperti jadwal neraka. Ia termasuk orang yang sangat sibuk di akhir tahun.
"Kami akan berangkat untuk fase kedua pemotretan di awal tahun depan ketika episode pertama mulai tayang, dan kamu bisa berpikir bahwa kami mulai mengedit setengah akhir dari episode sambil 'Our Dining Table' sedang tayak. Uh— lokasi dan toko untuk edisi musim 1 di AS hampir selesai, kami akan mengirimkan rencana yang jelas ke agensi. Kami akan berupaya untuk mengatur dengan food truck sekitar dua hari seminggu, dan sisanya akan menggunakan toko yang sudah kami survey. Gampang, kan?"
PD Yoon Byung-seon yang tersenyum jenaka menyimpulkan.
"Sudah kamu dengar, fase pertama pemotretan dimulai dari akhir November hingga awal Desember, kan?"
Artinya, jadwal Kang Woojin tidak akan ada ruang untuk istirah dalam hingga akhir tahun dan awal tahun depan.
Setelah pemotretan pendahuluan 'Our Dining Table' selesai, Kang Woojin sekali lagi naik kereta jadwal yang menyiksa. Jadwalnya yang sempat terhenti karena pemotretan di luar negeri dan istirah dua hari, meledak.
Dengan demikian, waktu semua orang, termasuk Kang Woojin, larut.
『[Eksklusif] Garis besar proyek varietas mega PD Yoon Byung-seon 'Our Dining Table' terungkap, Musim 1 dimulai di AS... Kang Woojin, Hong Hye-yeon di dapur?』
Informasi yang dikumpulkan oleh pihak 'Our Dining Table' dirilis.
『Apakah kita bisa melihat masakan Kang Woojin di 'Our Dining Table'? Dari food truck hingga tim 'Our Dining Table' mencoba menjual makanan Korea di AS』
Terutama karena penggemar sudah banyak untuk proyek PD Yoon Byung-seon, dan terutama, kali ini 'Our Dining Table' berskala jauh lebih besar.

Sementara itu, 'Drug Dealer' juga tidak diam.

Kang Woojin, muttered in a low voice while observing the relatively clean kitchen. Hong Hye-yeon, sitting next to him, widened her eyes slightly at the sight.
'What, did he prepare dish? When did he even find the time amidst his busy schedule- No, but I'm kind of looking forward to it?'
Hong Hye-yeon, who had previously been charmed by Kang Woojin's cooking skills and taste during the prior shooting, felt her anticipation swell instantly, just like PD Yoon Byung-seon and the writers had. After all, Woojin had given the impression a professional chef with his skills.
Therefore.
"Wow! Of course!! It's absolutely possible! Please use the kitchen!"
The writers were excited. Their faces seemed to say, 'We'll bow down to you, so please use the kitchen.' Around this time, PD Yoon Byung-seon was whispering to the main writer.
"We have to capture this on film, you know?"
"Of course, we can't miss this."
"Since it's just us here, you go attach the action cam and film. From beginning to end. Without disturbing."
"Got it, but I didn't expect Woojin~ssi to actually come prepared, definitely has that tsundere quality, huh?"
"Me neither. I heard he was backed up with shooting schedules, so I honestly didn't have high hopes. Anyway, let's go."
"Okay."
Soon, the main writer began operating the handcam, and PD Yoon Byung-seon, who had pushed up his glasses, looked at Kang Woojin standing up and smirked.
"What about the ingredients? We have some seasonings here, but we'll need to buy anything else that's needed."
"Understood."
Woojin responded lowly and started searching around the kitchen. Naturally, the 'recipes' and 'techniques' of a chef were at work in his mind. After roughly three minutes, he calmly recited his conclusion.
"First, we need buckwheat noodles, anchovies, kelp, green onions, onions, ginger, garlic, and we have soy sauce. So, we'll need sesame oil and more······"
Kang Woojin indifferently listed numerous ingredients. A few writers quickly noted them down and hurried out of the officetel. Soon, PD Yoon Byung-seon, who was tying an apron around Kang Woojin, asked with a tilt of his head.
"Buckwheat noodles? Woojin~ssi, what dish are you thinking of?"
Kang Woojin's answer was brief.
"I haven't decided on a name, but it's roughly like soy sauce buckwheat noodles."
"······Oh- Buckwheat noodles."
PD Yoon Byung-seon's eyes sparkled immediately. Hong Hye-yeon and the remaining writers felt the same. Some even swallowed their saliva, remembering the ramyeon and spaghetti Woojin had made before.
That moment.
"Woojin~ssi, please look here!"
The main writer, holding the action cam, waved her hand. Kang Woojin naturally met her gaze. The main writer was quick to speak.
"Perfect! This is great. PD~nim, we must use Woojin~ssi wearing an apron for the teaser thumbnail."
"Heh, come to think of it, have we not yet announced the cast teams to the press? It might be time to throw that out too, right?"
"Ah- Should we roll it out today?"
"Let's do that. If Woojin~ssi is the main of the kitchen team, the fans are going to go crazy, right?"
Things were rolling on their own. Regardless, it was a scene all too familiar to Woojin.
'Well, they'll handle it themselves. But using the image of me wearing an apron as a thumbnail- Ah, it's a bit embarrassing.'
About 30 minutes passed since then. The writers who had gone to buy ingredients returned, and various vegetables and seasonings were now placed on the table in front of the kitchen. Woojin, who had washed his hands clean, began arranging them with smooth movements.
-Swish.
After gathering the necessary pots, woks, and knives, he started cooking without hesitation. At that moment, Hong Hye-yeon cautiously approached and asked quietly.
"Can I help with anything?"
Woojin's answer was cold.
"Please chop the garlic and ginger over there."
"Again??"
"It's crucial."
"Ah- Okay."
Hong Hye-yeon, who had tied up her long hair, settled into her spot. Awkward but diligently progressing with the chopping. All of this was naturally being captured on camera, and Kang Woojin, who had placed green onions and onions on the cutting board, showcased his dazzling knife skills.
-Chop chop chop chop chop chop chop!
PD Yoon Byung-seon and the writers marveled once again.
"It's really amazing to see every time."
"It makes you stare blankly, doesn't it?"
"This is going to win over the viewers on TV, a hundred percent."
The main photographer, capturing the two actors, focused on the forearm of Woojin as he chopped.
'Muscles, veins. Incredible.'
Indeed, the main photographer knew what needed to be captured. Regardless, after finishing with the ingredients, Woojin calmly shook the wok, slightly charring the vegetables.
Beside him, buckwheat noodles were boiling in a pot.
Behind, Woojin was preparing the broth. He added a bit of soy sauce and water to the sautéed vegetables. Finally, garlic and ginger chopped by Hong Hye-yeon were added. The finale was sesame oil.
The broth and buckwheat noodles were coming together beautifully.
The process was shorter than expected.
"······"
Woojin cooled the fully cooked buckwheat noodles. He also turned off the heat under the gently boiling broth. There was no hesitation in any of his movements, and soon everything was finished.
-Swish.
He took out a prepared concave bowl, filled it with the suitably cooled buckwheat noodles, and then poured over the fragrant broth. In the meantime, PD Yoon Byung-seon took a spoonful of broth to taste. Huh? He asked, seemingly puzzled.
"Woojin~ssi, this tastes a bit bland?"
Woojin's voice was cool, unfazed.
"It's the U.S., after all. The broth should be mildly bland."
"Ah-"
"And the seasoning is this."
Woojin murmured as he sprinkled some pre-cut perilla leaves and sesame seeds into the bowl.
"Perilla leaves are strong in flavor, so you can check and replace them if needed."
Lastly, he took out a bag as big as a palm from underneath. It was seaweed flakes.
"The seasoning adjustment is with seaweed flakes."
The seaweed flakes were lightly sprinkled. Soon, Kang Woojin's dish was complete. The quality of the dish, hastily prepared, was considerable, and the main photographer, capturing the steam rising from the buckwheat noodles with the action cam, suddenly picked up the chopsticks.
"The smell is to die for??"
She stirred the hot broth with the buckwheat noodles, scooped a little into a small bowl, and slurped it up. The reaction was immediate.
"······Wow! Delicious! PD~nim, this is crazy good!!"
Soon, PD Yoon Byung-seon, Hong Hye-yeon, and the writers who had been waiting rushed in. After eating, they all were hit by a wave of emotional gratification. PD Yoon Byung-seon, somewhat reluctantly, made a sudden decision.
"This has to be sold! We can sell this!! Wow- perfect for a hangover cure and so delicious we definitely have to sell it!"
Around that time, Woojin, quietly observing their excitement, murmured.
"The name 'Seaweed Buckwheat Noodles' would be better."
Afterward.
PD Yoon Byung-seon, enjoying Kang Woojin's creation, 'Seaweed Buckwheat Noodles,' explained the upcoming plans for 'Our Dining Table' to both Woojin and Hong Hye-yeon.
"Considering it's the end-of-year season, we were thinking of shooting in the U.S. next year, but starting from renting a place, there are many hurdles. So, it looks like we'll have to divide the shooting into two phases."
Dividing the shooting into phases is a common occurrence in the variety show industry. Especially for 'Our Dining Table,' like overseas shoots where actors' schedules overlap even more.
"The first phase of shooting will be about a week. 'Our Dining Table' is scheduled to air a total of 10 episodes, and about 5 episodes worth of content will come from the first phase of shooting. We'll start editing around the end-of-year, and the official premiere is planned for early next year."
Though he spoke with a smile, for PD Yoon Byung-seon, it was almost a hellish schedule. He was one of the big shots who was extremely busy around the end of the year.
"We'll depart for the second phase of shooting around the beginning of next year when the first episode airs, and you can think of it as starting to edit the latter half of the episodes while 'Our Dining Table' is airing. Uh- the Season 1 U.S. edition's locations and stores are almost finalized, and we'll send a clear plan to the agency. We'll try coordinating with the food truck for about two days in a week, and the rest will be running the scouted stores. Easy, right?"
PD Yoon Byung-seon, chuckling mischievously, wrapped up.
"You've heard that the first phase of shooting starts from the end of November to early December, right?"
Meaning, Kang Woojin's schedule would have no room for rest through the end of the year and into the next.
Following the completion of the preliminary shooting for 'Our Dining Table,' Kang Woojin once again boarded the hellish schedule train. His schedule, which had been holding its breath due to overseas location shooting and a two-day break, exploded.
Thus, everyone's time, including Kang Woojin's, melted away.
