Lisa thought Jungkook would refuse, and didn't think that he would walk slowly towards Montgomery's direction instead.

"then I shall taste, what is in this drink."

Jungkook received  the glass from Montgomery, and swished the cup a little. His demeanour was indifferent and quiet, his facial features endlessly elegant, even the action of swishing the glass was like he was going to taste vintage wines.

Everyone's gazes consciously followed.

When he nodded to put the glass to his lips, Lisa started getting nervous.

She knew that all the flavours, no matter how slight, would be magnified unlimitedly. She felt that things she thought tasted horrible, to Jungkook, will be disaster.

Jungkook only had a tiny sip, the whole scene of the party was silent, with only an occasional sound of children playing.

Lisa saw his throat move slightly, down the smooth lines, it was beautiful and sexy.

His eyebrows didn't even lift, and his calmly said: "the sourness comes from grapefruit, raspberry, kiwi, the fishy taste comes from kelp, even though Garlic, green onions and leeks were used to attempt to cover the fishy smell, the taste is still obvious. The bitterness comes from bitter gourd and lemon peel. And the spiciness is because of mustard and Artemisia. 

Excuse me, are my answers correct, teacher Montgomery?"

This was Jungkook's precise taste deconstruction.

Montgomery touched palmed his forehead regretfully: "only a little sip and you're able to taste all the ingredients? I was looking forward to having you drink this whole cup ne!"

"Very sorry, for disappointing you."

Jungkook's voice was very calm, but the looks from everyone when they gazed over were full of shock and respect.

Here, no one will look down on Jungkook because of his blindness, because they knew Jungkook's true ability and talent far surpasses their imagination.

"your sense of taste seems to be more sensitive that a few years ago. But do you want to know the results of the win and loss between Bruce and Lisa?" Montgomery smiled rubbing his chin.

"Not only did she win Bruce, she also wrote down all the right answers." Jungkook's voice, was neither sad nor happy, steady as a mountain.

"You're so sure?"

"I'm sure." Jungkook's voice calm as always.

Lisa looked at his side profile, and never thought that he would actually have so much faith in her sense of taste.

"Alright ba, Lisa did indeed write all the answers correctly. Even the trickiest ingredients, Houttuynia and Artemisia." Montgomery went to Lisa and patted her shoulder, "I never thought you'd one day undertake a student, but at least now, I know why you've only selected Lisa."
