Dokja glances down at the pastel pink apron he's in, before at the three stations behind them with various baking equipment already prepared. ]
...Hey hey, wait, hold up-- isn't this an unfair advantage if we're competing against each other? There's no way I can beat you?
[ literally a peasant competing against gordon ramsey? ..except, as the shadowy host appears, it seems like two other sets of shadowy pair people appear on either side of them. lucky for kdj, this is a competition against three teams. ]
Oh... [ well, there's some relief there. ] I guess we just need to win then?
[ well, it is round one! which means they will be asked to remake a cute little confectionery. it will be... cupcakes! though it's a straightforward cupcake recipe, it is made with a twist.
they're given a time limit to get these out and done. Dokja doesn't look worried, nodding along but-- the shadowy host then starts about how it won't be all that fun if it was that easy? after all, being at a disadvantage makes for entertainment!
which is to say, Joonghyuk's hands are chained together by shadows while Dokja's is left untouched. well? what are they waiting for??? go!!! ]
--You've got to be kidding me. [ THEIR SECRET WEAPON??? DOKJA DOESN'T HAVE A LOT OF COOKING EXPERIENCE, HEEEELP. yjh you are not allowed to cook and must rely on kdj, have fun guiding him. ]
[ the other shadowy teams are at their stations, beginning to cook...
but Dokja focuses more on Joonghyuk, looking to the chains for any obvious way to free him. it isn't that easy of course. it's as easy as escaping here and that is: do the competition, then you are free.
their show host says as much too. ]
Yoo Joonghyuk. [ he is well aware yjh doesn't like being restrained, doesn't like having his control taken away. ]

Dokja is glancing at the others. ]
I don't remember there being paintings like these before.
no subject
[ Dark castle… the birthplace of demons. Sheds tear.
Joonghyuk doesn’t like this painting because of bad memories, so he moved on. ]
no subject
Some of them mostly look to be random locations, but some do look familiar.
no subject
What’s this?
no subject
New streaming show, I think. [ it aired in 2018 so ] Has to do with cooking if I'm remembering right.
no subject
They’re in aprons and will compete in this baking competition. ]
I want this hotel to burn into ashes.

It shouldn't be difficult.
[ pick us a nailed it thing to replicate zetsu ]
no subject
Right? I'll just leave all the work to you.

no subject
Instead of caring about the competition, he tries to break out of these chains. RELEASE HIM. ]
no subject

Yoo Joonghyuk. [ he is well aware yjh doesn't like being restrained, doesn't like having his control taken away. ]
no subject
He calms down a bit with he hears Dokja's voice. ]
Kim Dokja.
no subject
[nonshackles and non this painting they've been sucked into. ]
Okay how, should I start.. Measuring-- no wait, the ingredients.
[ he's not a baker. but he'll turn on the monitor, checking the recipe on what he needs. ]
no subject
Did he ask for it? No. He shifts over to see the recipe. ]
Use the measuring cups. All dry ingredients in one bowl, wet in the other.
no subject
his own thoughts are mostly imagining the end results of this being burnt. ]
Dry on one.... wet in the other. Got it.
[ this is strange, if because he truly lets yjh handle all the cooking. he has offered to help do things sure but not entirely like this?? ]
no subject
[ His mind sends thoughts of mixing and measuring the ingredients. ]
Beat the eggs thoroughly.
no subject
[ huffs, but those thoughts help. he finishes the measuring, focusing on beating these damned eggs. ]
..Are you worried? [ about him not doing a good job that is ]
no subject
[ But dokja can get the sense that Joonghyuk is anxious. His thoughts lie in WANTING TO BE FREE and not chained like this. ]
no subject
[ they lose this first round?
dam. ur anxiety. he shuts up but he has finished the mixing at least. it's just a matter of pouring them into trays and put in the oven.
he is squinting at the monitor again. ]
The rest is just.. gummies and pretzels right? Making the display should be easy.
[ right?? ]
no subject
[ And Dokja does and pops it into the oven!! Nice. In his mind, he is thinking about gummies being skewered by the pretzels. ]
... It shouldn't be difficult if you're good with your hands. Be careful. If it helps, you can carve holes into the gummies already to make it easier.
no subject
he nods, rushing a bit over to gather a jar of pretzels and gummies. ] ..You've put a lot of thought into it already.
[ carve holes. thinking ahead-- he would've just stabbed the pretzels into them otherwise. let's make some cute flowers with these gummies for now. ]
no subject
Don't use green. ]
no subject
at least for the leaves? though he did start to make petals too. squints at the gummies, gets a pink one. fine, he will use pink and yellow. ]
no subject
[ Pink and yellow received approval. ]
no subject
What do we use instead for leaves?
