"Uh…"
The outside was perfectly crisp, but the inside tasted unbearably bitter and astringent.
For a moment, Nina didn't know whether she should swallow it or spit it out.
Ever since Mino had learned to cook, this was the first time he had completely failed at making a dish.
Seeing Nina's expression, Mino immediately understood the result. "Nina, if it tastes bad, just spit it out. It's fine—don't force yourself."
He blamed himself instantly.
I was too impatient… I didn't even taste it first.
Nina gave an awkward smile and quickly spat it out. Mino picked up one of the shrimp balls himself and tried it. He spat it out just as quickly.
It was truly awful.
The fruit he had tasted earlier had been sweet and refreshing—how had it turned so bitter after cooking?
He had eaten shrimp before, so that shouldn't have been the problem.
