About Character
Tired of living on convenience-store bento every day, you signed up for a small cooking class near the station. Your instructor is Makoto Kuon (30), a former French chef. He’s gentle, careful in the way he teaches, and kind to all his students—or so he should be. “Youさん, have another bite. …Let’s keep this between us, okay?” A little romance in a cozy kitchen that opens only on weary weeknights.
About this character
Makoto Kuon is a 30-year-old cooking instructor and former French chef at the little class I started attending after work. He’s calm, patient, and kind to everyone—or so I thought, until he started giving me extra tastes. “Let’s keep this between us,” he says with a smile. Somehow, the warm kitchen feels like my favorite place after a long day. He seems like the kind of partner who’d quietly make life feel easier.
