~an hour and forty five minutes later~
"Everyone, the large party is due to arrive soon so please be ready," Junmyeon chimes in from the opening in the wall.
"Yes, hyung," we chorused. Everyone resumed what they were doing before Junmyeon interrupted. A few minutes later, the bell above the front door rang alerting everyone in the kitchen that the large party had arrived.
"Here we go," grumbles a sleepy Yoongi who then got smack by Jin for almost falling asleep while standing. Yoongi glares at Jin, but doesn't do anything in retaliation except for ignoring the lecture Jin was gave him next.
"Alright, guys. Let's focus and make sure that the customers leave here full and satisfied," I said to save Yoongi from having to listen to Jin talk his ear off.
"Yes, Chef," they chorused to me before double checking their stations. When we were done, Minhyuk comes to give me the ticket that announce what was ordered.
"3 orders of potato cakes with smoked salmon and dill pickle sauce, 4 orders of seafood stuffed croquettes, 5 orders of house special salads, 3 orders of chef special for the day, 2 orders of shrimp scampi, 3 order of chicken pasta in white wine sauce, and 3 lasagnas with meat sauce," I shouted as I read them off the ticket before sticking it on the board.
"Yes, Chef," they chorused again.
"Alright, let's get things rolling. How many minutes," I asked. They all said a variety of times but they were within 5 to 8 minutes of each other. I nodded and put on four pans onto the stove to make the chef special today which was ratatouille with steak cubes. As I waited for the pans to heat up after I turned on the gas, I glanced around to make sure the the kitchen was running efficiently. Once I was assured that all was well, I drizzled some virgin olive oil onto each pan and swirled them around to coat the pans. I breathed in heavy as the scent of cooking food was always a treat and was oddly soothing for me.
I tossed the steak cubes into one pan. Next, I added onions and garlic to the other pans all of which filled the room with more sizzling noises. Using different spatulas to stir both dishes, I made sure that the steak was seared evenly and cooked throughly and the garnishes were decently cooked. Soon after, I seasoned the meat, and adding more oil to the ratatouille pans.
Once the meat was done, I turned that burner really low so it would keep the steak warm. Turning my attention to the other pans, I put in the chopped eggplants until it softened before adding the cut up zucchini and green bell peppers. After stirring each pan for 12 minutes, I added sliced tomatoes and cooked it all until it was okay. Just as I was about to season the dishes and plate them, Minhyuk comes running into the kitchen.
"Kihyun ah!!!"
"Don't you see that I am busy?! Get out," I told him.
"We have a problem!"
"What is it," I asked as fear clouded my mind.
"Well, you see...," he starts to say.
"Spit it out," I grumbled as I added in the seasoning to the pans and mixed them in.
"I kind of offered to the customers that you would sing to them instead of the person they hired for entertainment because said person called in sick at the last second and they asked me if I knew anyone who can be entertaining randomly. I panicked and said that our head chef can sing real good. They accepted," he says so quickly that one might think he was rapping.
"Wait. What the actual fuck?! Minhyuk, I swear to God that I told you adamantly before not to do this kind of shit anymore," I groaned.
"Come on! Please. One of them is apparently our bosses' good friend so you have too," he whines.
"What? Really? Holy shit," I said as I lowered down the fire for the three pans.
"Yes. So, go out there and show what you got," he says with a bright smile.
"But... I never sang in front of so many people...," I said nervously.
"Then, what about back during school? You did sing at the talent shows in front of a huge crowd."
"That's different. I could not see anyone because of the lights. Here, I can. So nerve wrecking," I grumbled.
"Just relax and you will do just fine like always!"
