Blackpink? Jennie?

Felix's P. O. V.

The gates opened and in walked he, The Chef Park Jinyong himself. THE JYP himself in all his 48 year old glory. The living legend JinYong Park— wait a minute.. now I'm just over exaggerating everything and over emphasizing every 'the' I thought mentally face palming myself for the nth time. After overcoming my awe I started to focus on the things that he was saying. "All of your dishes will be covered and randomly selected. Keeping in mind the criteria given to you and your imagination and presentation, you all will be judged equally" The JYP yeah yeah, okay okay I'll stop it I thought again rolling my eyes at myself and my thought process. Just JYP said.

As soon as he finshed his sentence some workers took our dishes and covered them with silverware. They transferred our dishes to a table on the opposite side of us, to exactly where JYP was standing. "I won't waste our time in chit chatting anymore and just begin the tasting." He continued before selecting a dish. He picked it up and opened the silverware covering it to discover a beef wellington. "To the person who made this, I hope you know Wellington is one of my signature dishes.This just looks like a piece of giant turd. Who made this? Please step forward." He, although, used the words please sounded more commanding.

A girl about 5feet 4inch tall raised her hand and stepped forward "That's my dish sir" She said embarrassed. Her cheeks were flaming red so much so that the color was reaching her ears. "And what might your name be miss along with the reason you chose to make this?" JYP asked a little sternly.. Oh who am I kidding? a lot sternly. "Kim Minji chef. I chose this dish because it describes BlackPink's Jennie's verse in Ddu Du Ddu Du." She said shyly. "I'm sorry what? What? BlackPink? Jennie?" JYP questioned in disbeliev. I feel your pain JYP, trust me I do "Yeah! There's a verse of Jennie that goes like 'I may look sweet, but I don't act like it. My slender figure hides twice the volume' So that line inspired me to make this Wellington as it is beef fillet covered with pâté and wrapped in Parma ham and Puff Pastry." She answered to JYP's exasperation. "My dear, how does that equate with representing yourself" He asked again. "Oh.. It doesn't" She replied smiling wide "but Jennie is like my Idol, so I just thought that if she is someone I aim to be then maybe I should use her as an inspiration to represent myself." She concluded confidentlyconfidently after which everybody went silent. you go girl!! I thought while scrunching my nose a bit.

"Very well darling. Now if your fangirling is over can I begin with the taste test" He said and took a bite before letting her answer. "Bloody hell." He said after spitting out the piece. "It's so fucking dry. It's as dry as the Sahara Desert. What did you do to make it this dry? What did you use?? The solar energy or what?" He asked getting himself a drink. "And the beef.. It's really undercooked. Almost seems like you had some actual beef with it that you didn't even let it cook properly. You had been given a certain amount of time to make a dish worth creating a good impression and this is what you come up with? Bloody hell" He says, once again exasperated. And dumps the food into a near by trash can.

It's been nearly ten minutes. He keeps on picking up dishes and and asking the one who made them to step forward. Apart from Minji, three more contestants, namely, Jung Somin, Jeon Miyeon and Kang Mirae had had their dishes tasted and all had gotten bad remarks. That was until he picked up one dish which was revealed to be a traditional Korean Dish after removing the silverware covering the dish. The dish was made up of Malatang also called Mala stew with plain rice along with some side dishes arranged nicely in very unique way. It was unlike any plating we had seen so far. How the hell did this person manage to make such a complicated dish and that also with side dishes I thought bamboozled.

"Whose dish is this? Please step forward and introduce yourself and tell how does this dish meet the criteria" JYP ordered again. A man at least as tall as me or maybe even a few inches shorter stepped out with his hand raised "I made the dish. The name is Seo Changbin." He said in a firm tone with a fiery look in his eyes.
