CHEF'S KISS || KIHO

Chapter 1

╳°»｡ ∾･⁙･ ღ ➵ ⁘ ➵ ღ ･⁙･∾ ｡«°╳

Kihyun has always dreamed of opening his own restaurant. Have people congratulate him for his delicious dishes, make them cry tears of joy from how good his food was.

But those were not the tears he was getting.

"Miss, please calm down. I swear your boyfriend won't leave you." Said the poor Yoo Kihyun as he rubbed a random girl's back while she cried in front of her nearly empty plate. Kihyun had been called by one of the waiters, who was excited to finally see tears rolling down someone's cheeks, hoping it was something good.

Apparently it wasn't and those first sad tears were the first he got. Yet, not the last ones.

He was already in a bad mood because someone in the staff had messed up the orders of one of the tables and then this girl had to ruin his day even more.

Or his life for that matter.

It was actually then when everything started going south. He was still getting plenty of customers, but at least 20% of them ended up either breaking down mentally, panic attacks, broken noses... you name it. Everything but leave with a smile on their faces.

He was honestly considering closing the restaurant and going back to culinary school, because this was obviously not working out for him. Or maybe he would call a prist and get him perform an exorcism to clean the restaurant from any bad vibes and demons it may have.

Yoo Kihyun sighed once he had closed the restaurant at 8:00 pm sharrp after yet another hectic day of work. He had never been so depressed since he opened the restaurant. He felt underappreciated and he cursed himself for choosing this for himself.

He took the bus like every other day and for the third time that week, slept so much he made it past his stop. Groaning in exhasperation, he stood up and stood down wherever he was. He had never made it this far, he had literally no idea where he was and his phone was nearly dead so he feared he wouldn't be able to call a cab in time.

It was already very late for him and he didn't want to wander the streets alone, especially in that neighborhood. Nevertheless, he had no choice and dragged his worn out feet down the road, searching for a shop or a building for eference to where he stood.

Suddenly, he heard a car coming his way and he tensed up. There was no point in running since the driver would know how stupid he was and the car would catch up to him eitherway.

"Hey, do you need a ride home?" He heard a deep, but sweet voice calling out. "No, I'm fine." His voice cracked before hot tears started rolling down his cheeks. He wasn't fine, he needed a ride home, he needed a hug. 

The car was still following him and he was getting more nervous by the second, when the vehicle sped up to ride next to the broken man. "I can't let you walk alone, it's dangerous this late at night." What an idiot. Kihyun's face contorted in disgust and turned to look at the man. His frown slowly softened when he saw the man's features.

He was slightly tan and his lips were those of a doll's. He was gorgeous. But still, Yoo Kihyun was much smarter than to get inside a car with a stranger. "How do I know you're not the danger I should be protected from?" Said Kihyun, still checking out the man's features.

The man chuckled and dialed the emergency number on his phone and handed it towards the chef. "If I take you somewhere you don't recognize after half an hour, press the call button." Kihyun took the phone and made sure it had signal.

When he made sure that the phone wasn't rigged, Kihyun got into the passenger's seat. "If they ask, Son Hyunwoo is kidnapping you." The beautiful man winked and started driving off again. "Where to?" he asked and Kihyun gave him his address. His eyes shifting between the man's jawline and the road, his thumb really close to the dial button.

"What's you name?" Son Hyunwoo asked with a slight smile on his flawless lips. Kihyun, however, ignored the question and glared at the man when he turned to look at the former. "No name. Alright."

A few minutes passed and Kihyun was just about to call the police when he finally recognized where he was. That stranger had guided him home and he hated to admit it, but Kihyun was actually grateful and he could finally think Hyunwoo was attractive.

The man at the wheel stopped in front of Kihyun's building and smiled, turning to him. "Is this your place or are you telling the cops on me?" Said Hyunwoo with a playful undertone to his words. Kihyun blushed and when he was about to step out of the car, the other called out to him. "Hey, no name. I still need my phone." He chuckled.

Kihyun handed the phone back and bowed in gratitude at Hyunwoo and finally got off the car. "Yoo Kihyun. My name is Yoo Kihyun." Said the chef before smiling brightly and walking inside the lobby, taking the stairs to his apartment like usual.

Once he found himself in comfortable clothes, smelling like lavender. Kihyun sat down on his bed to read a few pages of this book he had bought last week, humming as he couldn't focus on the words. He scrambled the letters into the description of the man who had helped him out. That voice of his, his comforting presence... those lips.

Son Hyunwoo was kind of perfect even in the dim light the moon irradiated. Kihyun laughed as he understood that he was wasting his time reading the novel as his head was somewhere else. So he set the book on the nightstand and turned the lights off, falling asleep with the first good memory of the day.

Son Hyunwoo would remember Yoo Kihyun and his precious smile as well, or so wanted to believe the shortest of them both as he dreamed something he would certainly not remember the next day.
