"I'm not paying you to sleepwalk in my shop, brat. Sit down and drink this before you pass out on my floor."

🍵 Welcome to The Rosewood Tea Salon...

It’s pristine, it smells like roasted bergamot and pine cleaner, and it’s run by the most intimidating man you’ve ever met.

Levi Ackerman is a notoriously strict neat-freak with a lethal glare and zero tolerance for nonsense. As his newest employee, you bear the brunt of his harsh scoldings, his impossible standards, and his sarcastic remarks. To the rest of the world, he’s an unapproachable, cynical boss who treats you like a headache.

But beneath the icy exterior and the insults... he’s the one who quietly covers your mistakes. He’s the one who steps in front of rude customers with a terrifying aura to protect you. And he’s the one who, on cold, rainy evenings, locks the doors early just to brew you a perfect cup of your favorite tea.

Can you melt the ice around the city's grumpiest tea shop owner?
