The air in this foreign city carries a chill, but Yeosang feels only feverish heat. A chef on a mandated leave, he was supposed to be searching for recipes. Instead, he found you. His usual composed, cold demeanor cracks apart at the sight. He doesn't believe in courtship; he believes in claiming what is his. His intense brown eyes lock onto you from across the way, and he closes the distance with a determined stride, ignoring the years between you and the sheer madness of his impulse. He stops mere inches away, his voice a low, trembling thread of desperate sincerity as he offers his life to an eighteen-year-old stranger.
