[ Cooking isn't as much of a daunting task ever since he started cooking with Orihime. The things he's made so far aren't fantastic (as Jae Ha has probably suffered through), but what they lacked in taste they made up for in enthusiasm riddled in every bite.

... Sadly, taste tends to matter more when it comes to food. That only meant that Kija would continue to keep trying!

Being paid to test out his cooking skills is an attractive task. Kija came ready to tackle the feat, even bringing his own apron for the job. It's too bad he had neglected one huge aspect of the job they were taking on - that seafood would be the prime ingredient. While living in Capablanca meant that Kija has had enough exposure to crustaceans and clams to calmly exist in the same room as them, nothing could prepare him for the possibility of actually having to touch those lobsters, let alone prepare them for consumption. He isn't ready to admit defeat just yet though, he'll just need some time to adjust. Time he might be spending siding up closer to Jae Ha than usual.

Chef Foxgang gives them the low down and sends them on their way, giving Kija a pat on the back and wishing him luck on their creative, culinary endeavor. Minutes after the chef leaves, Kija suddenly grips onto Jae Ha's sleeve, admitting something in mild embarrassment. ]

Please ... could you explain to me what this 'sexy factor' is?

[ Foxgang's whole speech before was completely lost on him, but he was too prideful to admit that he didn't understand it. That's why he quietly waited for the chef to leave before diverting his question at Jae Ha.

BECAUSE JAE HA KNOWS ALL ABOUT SEXY RIGHT ]

[ Why is he here again.

Truthfully, he's here because it's hard to turn down someone's request for help, and they'd been spending more time in their villa anyway, so it seemed worthwhile to invest in a local business like this.

But he doesn't really know how to cook. And Kija isn't much better.

Who's going to buy anything they make?

Jae-ha stares blankly at the array of ingredients in front of them. There's fish, which has thankfully already been cleaned for them, all type of shellfish, pasta, various sauces, and several unidentified jars of pickled things.

He's surprised (but pleasantly surprised) that Kija seems fine with the crustaceans' presence. ]

I... I don't know what a sexy factor means when it comes to food! Come to think of it, that doesn't make any sense, does it?!

Unless, this is a special type of restaurant. I've heard about certain places that serve their food on naked bodies... [ Is that a sexy factor? ]

[ Given the kinds of debauched places he's already seen in this world one would think Kija would grow used to it by now. Yet, he never fails to look surprised every time he learns something new and lewd. There's an audible gasp, and he motions to cover his hands over his chest immediately, as if his clothes really are in danger of being taken off. ]

AH?! M-Must I strip as well? [ hE DOESN'T WANT THIS ]

Well, if you don't, then you have to be the only one to prepare the seafood and put it on me. [ Which is to say, he's already reaching forward and attempting to strip Kija. It's already a disaster. ]

[ His face twists in horror at the prospect of touching some lobsters (the naked Jae Ha part, he's quite accustomed to). It twists in more horror when Jae Ha tries to make a grab for him and his clothes. ] Wah, wait a minute! Not here! [ He knows all about Jae Ha's shenanigans, and he won't stand idly around for them this time! Kija backs away quickly, protecting himself behind a table full of food. ] Jae Ha, we cannot! I refuse to expose myself in front of all these people -- a-and, I do not want those things on my body!!

[ The food table he's hiding behind happens to have some chilled crabs and lobsters though, so he quickly scuttles away from those too. ]

But we won't earn as much unless it's you, Kija! The customers want a fair maiden on their table, you know.

[ As if he hadn't already reached the height of his terribleness, Jae-ha continues to be shitty, eyes lighting up with glee as he essentially chases Kija around the kitchen. He works quickly to maneuver around the table full of seafood, grabbing a pair of tongs and attempting to grab Kija with them. ]

Come here, Hakuryuu, before I eat you up myself! [ o.O ]

[ O.o??? ] I am not a maiden! [ why does everyone subjugate him, what did he do wrong in life

and he's going to ignore that lewd wording. Halfway through his mad dash, Kija stops and realises something. Why is he running when he could just as easily fight back! Picking up a pair of tongs himself (why tongs), he faces Jae Ha boldly now. ]

If one of us has to naked, it will not me! Prepare to have your clothing stripped off, Jae Ha! [ won't he like that though. who truly wins ]

[ He's right, who is this benefiting but Jae-ha? ]

Oh? Will you be so forward, in a place like this?

[ uhhh the chasing has stopped and he's not even fighting back. ]

[ Somehow, he's assuming this is what they're supposed to do now, and he really doesn't want to be the one with lobsters placed on his body, so Kija accepts this invitation. With the use of the tongs, he starts to tug at Jae Ha's collar, pulling his shirt open by the buttons. ]

I will be taking these off!

[ Despite the fact that he was chasing him around not more than a second ago, Jae-ha seems just fine with this development. He's even set his own tongs down, his face comically shifting to something between perversion (gross) and embarrassment. ]

Ah, Kija, you are so aggressive today! Not that I mind...

[ Son what are you doing this doesn't make Father Foxgang Puck proud at all. ]

[ There Jae Ha goes, being his weird self again. Kija's actually so used to this behavior, he shrugs it off completely. He doesn't even seem to feel bashful that he's basically undressing another man right here in public. It's just that Kija's seen this particular man's naked body more times than he can count, so it's just another day in the life for him. He continues to pry at Jae Ha's clothes, pulling his shirt over his broad shoulders.

If only the same could be said about the people around them, some looking scandalized and others giggling in amusement at the sight. Chef Foxgang is definitely not amused.

"What do you two punks think you're doing?! Take this somewhere else! Stop defiling my kitchen, we cook here!" ]

Defiling ...?! But is this not what you wanted us to do?!

[ Foxgang is about to set Kija straight, because no, this isn't what he meant by 'sexy factor' at all, when one of his older, more trusted employees in the restaurant sides him to him and whispers in his ear. Apparently, judging by how excited the women in the room seem to be at the prospect of a handsome man like Jae Ha undressing for them, he thinks they should give this idea a test-run just to see how it would go. Foxgang still appears unsure about this idea, but he has much respect for his old friend, so he begrudgingly considers it. There's a sigh.

"Fine. Let's see how this pans out."

This ... body seafood thing.......... ]

[ Of course, having the attention drawn to them doesn't bother Jae-ha one bit, and he laughs at the chef's disapproval, even looking around at the sous chefs and giving the women giggling in amusement a dazzling smile. Truthfully, Jae-ha doesn't expect this to get very far, because why would it?! What sort of respectable chef would actually allow this to happen in their kitchen? Doesn't he know how unsanitary it is to have naked people around food?

Clearly, this doesn't work out how he thought it would, given by the way his eyes widen in shock when Foxgang Puck nods and gives Kija the OK to continue. ]

Ah? What are you--? You're really.. You're really doing it?!

[ WHY. HE DOESN'T WANT RAW SLIMY SEAFOOD ON HIS BODY. ]

Wait, wait! We should consider other things before jumping so quickly on such a ridiculous concept--!

[ His protests are futile, because now two of the sous chefs have stepped up and are helping Kija rid Jae-ha of the rest of his clothes.

Internal screaming (but also, feeling so violated makes his heart go doki doki...) ]

[ If Jae Ha thinks he'll get any help from this boyfriend of his, he's wrong. Now that it's confirmed that the theme of their culinary experiment will be body seafood, Kija decides to put his all into the task, as he does all things. He wants to get paid for this job after all (they aren't getting paid). With a little extra cash, they could get that taravis they wanted for the house.

He only has one request ... ] I will undress him, but I do not wish to touch the lobsters or crabs.

[ The sou chefs nod, accepting Kija's terms. Kija then continues what he was doing before, tugging off the rest of Jae Ha's shirt. ]

Wait, wait, if you're not doing the arrangement, then what are you doing?! You're not doing anything!

[ His protests have become downright childish now, even as he offers no resistance to take off the rest of his shirt.

The sous chefs look at each other. The crazy almost-naked man has a point. They only took orders from Foxgang Puck, and if Kija wasn't handling the food, what was he doing?

"Sorry, kid. If you're gonna do this job right, it's just you two. We're just here to take notes."

Jae-ha grins.. if he's going to hell, he's taking you with him!! ]

I-I am still arranging the fish! And ... salad --

[ He just doesn't want to touch the crustaceans. But the crustaceans are kind of the star of the show ...

He's shocked to see the sous chefs take Jae Ha's side all of a sudden (this betrayal...). ]

AHH?! You are no longer helping us?! [ He turns to the lobsters and crabs on the food table, ready to be arranged, and he can feel his stomach curl a little. ] But ... I simply cannot touch those things!! They are like bugs from the sea!

[ Nobody cares about how he feels, sadly. ]

[ Indeed, nobody cares about his problems...

Including Jae-ha, who is now calmly stepping out of his pants, now completely in his birthday suit. The sous chefs are polite enough not to stare too long at his dragon's leg, which he appreciates.

He looks over his shoulder at Kija before walking off to lay down on the cold metal table, and sticks his tongue out at him. ]

[ Objectively, Jae Ha should be the one more distraught about this. He's drawn the shorter end of the stick after all. Yet, it's Kija who's recoiling at the very thought of the task - the sight of those cold crustaceans and clams.

He starts with the fish first, which isn't that bad at all. The people in his village caught fish from the nearby river, and at times Kija would follow them on their trips. Picking up a piece of fillet, he ... places it on Jae Ha's chest with little thought for design. Just plops it right there onto Jae Ha's chest.

And he hears Chef Foxgang shouting at him a second later, "A little to the left! Do you even know the first thing about plating?!" ]

S-Shall I do it like this?! [ He places it on Jae Ha's left nipple??????/ ]

[ this is cold and slimy and disgusting.

He hisses, mostly in horror as he feels it right on top of his nipple?! ]

Just... just get this over with. [ he's dead inside ]

[ As Kija continues to arrange more slices of fish, Foxgang continues to nag at them, clearly displeased with this ... whatever it is.

"I told you to make it sexy! You're doing it all wrong, idiot!" ]

B-But, I do not know how to do that? Jae Ha, how am I to arrange the food in a 'sexier' manner?

[ Kija appears completely oblivious to the fact that his beloved brother is now dead inside. ]
