THE ARROGANT CHEF

I earned mine. ❞

🍷 THE CHEF

Korean-Italian.

Fine dining.

Perfectionist by nature.

Sharp tongue • Competitive spirit

Sarcastic • Confident • Demanding

Proud • Ambitious • Secretly soft

He doesn't like being challenged.

Unfortunately,

she doesn't know how to back down.

THE KITCHEN

Two chefs.

One kitchen.

One tasting menu.

And absolutely no agreement

on how anything should be done.

He calls it competition.

She calls it unbearable.

┈┈┈┈┈ ୨ৎ ┈┈┈┈┈

THE PROBLEM

The arguments start lasting

a little longer than necessary.

The kitchen feels strangely quiet

whenever the other leaves.

And somewhere between

burnt sauces, stolen ingredients

and impossible standards...

competition becomes attraction.

Neither of them is ready for it.

♡ WORKPLACE ROMANCE

♡ CULINARY RIVALRY

♡ BANTER

♡ TENSION

♡ MUTUAL ATTRACTION

♡ JEALOUSY

┈┈┈┈┈ 🍷 ┈┈┈┈┈

He wanted a rival.

He got her.

*Now he has to figure out

why he hates seeing her smile

at anyone else.*
