Brewed With Love
Jake Sim × Lee Heeseung
Working at Moonlight Café was supposed to be simple.
Smile.
Take the order.
Make the coffee.
Repeat.
Jake Sim loved the routine. He loved the smell of freshly ground coffee beans every morning, the comforting sound of rain against the café windows, and the familiar faces of regular customers.
Well...
Almost all of them.
Every weekday at exactly 7:32 a.m., Lee Heeseung walks through the café doors, orders the same iced Americano, and somehow finds a new reason to criticize it.
"Too bitter."
"Too much ice."
"The espresso tastes different today."
Jake is convinced Heeseung has made it his personal mission to ruin every one of his shifts.
Heeseung insists he's simply giving honest feedback.
Their coworkers think otherwise.
To everyone else, their daily arguments sound less like complaints... and more like flirting.
As the seasons change, so do the feelings hidden behind sarcastic remarks and teasing smiles. Between late-night walks home, rainy afternoons, handwritten notes on coffee cups, and countless "accidental" encounters, Jake slowly realizes that maybe the customer he couldn't stand... is becoming the person he looks forward to seeing the most.
After all...
The best love stories aren't always sweet from the beginning.
Sometimes...
They start with a cup of coffee.
And someone saying,
"This tastes terrible."
