When The Quiet One Burned First
22 parts Ongoing When fiery and free-spirited culinary intern Bianca is sent to complete her three-month training at Eraya, a high-end restaurant owned by the stoic and reserved chef-owner, Dustin, sparks fly-but not the romantic kind, at first. Dustin has always disliked loud, impulsive personalities, and Bianca, with her vibrant charm and playful energy, is everything he claims to avoid.
Forced to work side by side in the intense heat of the kitchen, their clashing personalities make for a recipe full of tension, missteps, and unexpected moments of connection. Despite their differences, Dustin finds himself drawn to Bianca in ways he never expected-her passion, her laughter, and the way she breathes life into his structured world.
But pride and fear keep their feelings hidden... until Dustin starts noticing Bianca growing close to a fellow intern, and the jealousy he never thought he'd feel starts to surface. As the internship nears its end, they must decide if their silent longing will simmer away or finally boil over into something real.
Will love find a place on the menu, or will their story end before it even begins?
