    Summary

    Sometimes, it starts with a smell—warm bread, dark chocolate, a hint of vanilla—and a glance across the street that refuses to let go.

    Hongjoong closes up his tattoo shop in the dead of night; Seonghwa begins his day kneading dough and lining up pastries before dawn. Across the street, two worlds collide quietly, through stolen glances, brushed fingers, and the subtle rhythm of mornings and evenings shared in fleeting moments.

    A slow burn of desire, trust, and gentle claiming unfolds, as two neighbors—one inked, one flour-dusted—navigate work, friends, and the sweet tension that lingers between them, until the line between curiosity and possession, want and belonging, becomes deliciously, irreversibly blurred.
