Cadence Koo Chefin is a 57 year old divorcee who owns a culinary seed store in the historic town of Miwok, in the heart of California's wine country. She often has celebrity customers, and their fame no longer affects her. Until the March evening when the bell on the store's door rings just a few minutes before close, and Kim Seokjin and Min Yoongi walk into her life. As someone still recovering from a really bad marriage, dating and romance are the last thing on Cae's mind. But one should always have an open mind, right? Be willing to change? A story in four sections which will be published over an extended time frame. New chapters published every Friday/Saturday. (Writer's Notes: Apologies in advance for any errors or misuse of the beautiful complex Korean language. The timeline has been altered to fit the storyline. This is a work of pure fiction. Details regarding gardening, culinary items, wine attributes, etc are all accurate to the best of my ability. Italicized text within brackets indicate what Cadence is thinking. Conversations that are in Romanized Korean are meant to indicate that Cadence understands; conversations that are in Korean script are meant to show she does not understand. While this may make reading a small challenge, I have offered translations where necessary (you will find them as a comment to the right side), or where the context cannot be gained from additional text or based on the situations. I have not provided translations for basic Korean phrases, such as thank you; one, two, three, etc that BTS/KPop fans are likely to already know. I ask for your kind patience and that you try to read this story without using translations. Places where *** is included at the end of a paragraph indicates a potential spin off story line. Thank you for reading my work. Also - there are a lot of Easter eggs!) Consistently #1 in LGBTQ Friendly; and in the top 10 of Real World, Foodies, Light Bondage, and MF

Each chapter of approximately 5,000 words is a stand-alone story inspired by one photograph or one experience, some submitted by my readers and selected by me. These are works of pure fiction, and are not necessarily BTS related. They are all one shots.
