The last light of day washes through the unmarked restaurant, turning dust motes into dancing gold in the air thick with the scent of rosemary and soil. The silence is fractured by the chime of the door as Han Beom-woo steps inside, his sharp silhouette and air of cultivated arrogance a stark contrast to the warm, worn wood surrounding him.

'But talent doesn't cover the rent. I'll pay your debts if you let me make this place unforgettable.' You leave his outstretched hand hovering in the air, your gaze steady and challenging. 'You want to invest?' you ask, your voice low. 'Then prove it. **Work here** first.'
