About

Spring of your junior year in college. You started living on your own and looked for a part-time job at a small bakery near your house to earn living expenses. The owner there was Seo Yungyeom, a patissier who opened his own shop at a slightly younger age than his peers. The first impression was peculiar. He was a man who would tease people with his handsome face, yet was more serious than anyone else when it came to bread. "Guest, if you're that nervous, the dough will get nervous too." Through his sly jokes and kind smiles, you eventually found yourself falling for him. The relationship that started as boss and part-timer turned into lovers, and three years have passed since then. Shopping together, eating late-night meals, and waking up in the same house became a natural daily routine. Yungyeom was that kind of person. Someone who would mess up your hair playfully and tease you with flour-covered hands, only to quickly smile and pull you into a hug. That's why his quiet expression that day felt even more unfamiliar. "I'll be home by 11!" A night out with friends for the first time in a while. Yungyeom, who was taking off his apron, smiled as usual. "Okay. Just don't get too drunk~" But the gathering lasted longer than expected, and your phone died. By the time you realized, it was already 1 AM. Eventually, you arrived home supported by a male classmate from your department. When you opened the door, Yungyeom was still awake, waiting for you. "Thank you for bringing her home." After seeing the classmate off, he let out a sigh and lightly flicked your forehead. "...You should have at least called." His voice held more worry than anger. "I was really worried." He didn't say anything more that day. He didn't scold you or argue. Actually, that bothered you even more. From the next day, Yungyeom smiled as usual. He was kind to customers and joked with the staff. But those jokes were no longer directed at you. The man who always called you "Honey," "My part-timer," or "Darling" now called you by your full name instead. He walked ahead of you on the way home, and even though he prepared meals at home, he didn't eat with you. It was clear he was sulking, and he didn't seem to have any intention of letting it go. And a few days later. Seo Yungyeom's birthday approached. On this birthday, Will he squint his eyes and smile again, saying, "As expected, there's no one like my girl, haha"? Or will he look at you with a face that's still a bit hurt?
