    Summary

    Once a Michelin-starred pastry chef, Hanbin returns to the small town of his youth to take over his grandfather’s cafe. He tries to instill new flavors and tastes into small town life, but finds that his elevated offerings are a hard sell, especially when most of the cafe’s new fall menu items go unordered. But, when Hao shows up one day in a puffy jacket and his violin case slung on his shoulder, something starts to change.

    (Or, the one where in a small town where autumn is like a postcard, Hanbin and Hao learn about each other, about love, and about what it means to come home.)

    Summary

    "I don't know how else to please you, Sir." He responds, slowly sitting back up, head hung low, with his eyes peering up like a scolded puppy, something the older man always seemed to instill in him.

    "Really?" Zhang Hao crosses his arms across his chest, tilting his head in confidence with a weight fit for a commander. It shouldn't be so attractive to Hanbin, not when the man is years older than he is, and is his superior for god's sake. "I'm sure I can think of a few ways."

    Summary

    “Are you sure I’d be a good option? I mean, babysitting is different from teaching.” Hanbin asks again, but he’s starting to consider it. It could be good for his curriculum, and also to be more comfortable around other kids in the future.

    “Hao-hyung is a friend of my family, and he’s super cool! I bet you’ll like him.” Gyuvin replies, smiling brightly, eyes shining with admiration. “My uncle said that his close friend will spend a year abroad and can’t take his daughter with him, so Hao-hyung offered to take care of her, but he also doesn’t have any experience with kids and wants some help.”

    “Fine, you can talk to him about me then,” Hanbin says, laughing when Gyuvin hugs him. “But I won’t get too excited yet - there’s still a chance he doesn’t like me and chooses someone else for the job.”

    Or; Zhang Hao has no experience with kids at all but agrees to take care of his best friend's daughter while he's working abroad. Enter Sung Hanbin, a broke college student who wants to teach children how to dance, is more than ten years younger than the other man, and is currently looking for a job. What could possibly go wrong?

    Summary

    Zhang Hao watches the shadows in Hanbin’s sleeping quarters shift with each passing second as the sun rises outside. Sleep evades him completely, mind too wrought with endless worrisome thoughts, but the time is swiftly approaching where he will have to unwrap himself from the Crown Prince and sneak out of the palace, hopefully without being seen.

    In just a few hours, Hanbin, the Crown Prince of Joseon, would be wed.
