Synopsis
“I’m not that much of a lowlife, but as you can see, the situation is pretty damn shitty.”
“……”
“The head of a food company, for God’s sake, has a fucking useless tongue.”
Ji Hyun-seung, head of the Food Business Division at GH Foods, has lost his sense of taste. To treat his condition, he brings in Yeon Ga-eul, the chef of Suratgan, the only woman who had ever managed to stir his taste buds.
During the process, Ga-eul discovers that Hyun-seung is the young master from a wealthy family who once came to her grandmother’s village to recuperate. Realizing that he is her first love, the young master she once adored, Ga-eul cannot bring herself to turn her back on him in his time of trouble.
“During the day, work at the company as a guest recipe researcher. At night, make food for my tongue at my house.”
“……Then what do I get in return?”
“I’ll make the person who ruined your father pay for his sins.”
After a brief moment of deliberation, Ga-eul reluctantly enters into a temporary contract with Hyun-seung, partly of her own free will and partly because she has no other choice.
Never imagining that this contract would become a turning point in her life.
With the two of them spending every waking moment together, how could they possibly avoid falling in love?
For Ji Hyun-seung, who had lived with nothing but needles and poison on the tip of his tongue, the woman gradually transforms into a presence as sweet as honey on his taste buds.
Just looking at her makes him thirsty, and even the slightest brush against her sends his instincts into a frenzy.
“You’re a strange woman, Ms. Yeon Ga-eul.”
“……Pardon?”
“I asked you to make only my tongue more sensitive, but you’ve made other parts sensitive, too.”
“Which other parts?”
“Here, and here.”
The woman who awakened both his appetite and his desire eventually managed to stir Hyun-seung’s heart as well.
