"My love, my love"

THEA STANDS OUT as a true artist. With deft hands and unwavering focus, she delicately separates the guts from the succulent anchovies, her lips set in a purposeful line. Amongst her peers, she effortlessly wields the bulkiest metal fret, a testament to her extraordinary speed and unmatched skill.

"You saw it, right? Right in front of Jun-hui... Bam!" Mo-tak began to say, extending his hand out as he had done when saving Jun-hui "I stopped that shining blade. That's what a hero does. At the most critical moment, bam!" As one voice traces its path through the air, others find themselves utterly enthralled with their delicate culinary artistry "I knew something was odd. You could all do it. It was odd how only I couldn't, right?" He let out a big laugh "I was subconsciously waiting for this very moment. I, Ga Mo-tak—"

"All right. We get it, so enough gloating and help us with these anchovies" Ms. Chu finally reached her breaking point. Without missing a beat, Mun placed an exquisite metal bowl brimming with an abundance of savory anchovies before him

"Must we do this with our hands? Let me use my psychokinesis. Watch carefully" Mo-tak insisted, raising his hand, moving his fingers as if he was casting a spell "It won't even budge" He complained before moving the fret forward daring to make his voice resound. He unleashes a determined scream "It's time to rise, anchovies" He extended both of his hands determined to move the anchovies with his psychokinesis 

"Your nose is bleeding" Mun pointed out, his keen observation skills never fail to astound

"What? My nose is bleeding?" Mo-tak asked in disbelief plopping down onto the wooden table

"You can't use psychokinesis so recklessly" Thea scolded, putting the small anchovies with no organs into her fret

"No, I have to make it work. I can do this" Mo-tak refused, taking the fret in his hands before walking to another table further away from the team "I can"

"Sure"

"Don't we have more than enough stock? Is there a group reservation?" Hana asked, curious to know why they were preparing so many anchovies

"I think Min-ji has morning sickness. The only thing she could stomach was our noodles" Ms. Chu began to explain with a delicate smile on her lips "I'm hoping this will help her regain her appetite"

"Mr. Ma's going to be eternally grateful" Hana's infectious smile ignited laughter in the hearts of those around her. Every time the discussion shifted towards the enigmatic Ms. Lee that the air itself shimmered with electric anticipation and sheer bliss

"Don't stare. Just let him be" Ms. Chu exclaimed as Mo-tak started making a huge show, trying to move the anchovies with his psychokinesis

"He'll be at it for a while" Mun commented, but knowing Mo-tak very well Ms. Chu knew it would be much longer
