If you're not escaping the heat, you're escaping love."
" sea...
If you're not escaping the heat, you're escaping love."
It seems that it is true what they said. But for me it's probably the latter. The reason that made me come here Let's open a small ramen shop across from a beautiful beach. sunset Sunlight reflects off the surface of the water in the evening. Even though you look sad and lonely But for me it is the most beautiful thing. Who would think 'Leo'?
A young engineer like me would end up holding a frying pan and standing in front of the stove.
My shop is an open kitchen. where customers can see every cooking method Similar to other ramen shops in Japan. There is a counter for customers who come alone. or want to experience cooking nearby If you ask me if I'm happy with the work I do.. The answer is yes, although the income is not comparable to being an engineer.
But I'm happy with it. Even though right now my heart is calling out for someone.
Do you believe in love at first sight? Is it falling in love when you meet someone for the first time? I think I found the person I was looking for. Someone who will fill in the part that I have always been asking for.
"Number one salt soup ramen." A clear voice called out for me, who was looking for something, to look up.
Big round eyes, cute smile with a dimple on the left side. Thin lips that are moist with gloss This attractive young man chose the seat next to him. When I first raised my head, I almost fell to my feet. What kind of person is this cute? A shirt with one button unbuttoned, revealing a white neckline. A crescent-shaped pendant necklace hung there.
It made it difficult for him to breathe.
" yes? "
"One salt soup ramen."
"Wait a moment."
'Aden', a young man who came to a seminar with the company. Go out for a walk and feel the cool breeze. Meanwhile, everyone else was having fun in the karaoke room. There was only him who chose to walk around alone. before stumbling upon a ramen shop Decorated in the style he likes So some people didn't hesitate to walk in and try a bowl.
"Mmm~~ Delicious." The second the clear soup was scooped into the mouth. It's like water. But it has an incredibly mellow flavor. It has a mild, natural flavor and is also fragrant. The soup is not thick, making it easy to eat and not greasy. It wasn't long before a slender hand took the noodles into his mouth and chewed them. It was quite good at bringing a smile to the young merchant in front of him.
"Be careful, it gets stuck in your throat. Eat slowly."
"Ah, very yummy.. Just a~just a word." Before he could finish the words, a cough sounded from the person in front of him.
"Ugh~Ugh. Thank you." Eden accepted the cold water from the chef. before taking it to drink Ready to say thank you with a smile
"I'm Leo. You...."
"Aden."
"I've never seen your face before. Are you coming to visit? "
"You can say that. But I came to a seminar with the company."
"Oh, so why are you walking alone? It's already getting dark here." Even though it didn't seem very reasonable, But Leo chose to ask because he just wanted to have a conversation with the person in front of him.
"Other people went to sing karaoke and have a party. I don't like loud noises."
"Just like me," Leo replied with a smile that made him smile. Eden is sitting there eating ramen. Hang your head in embarrassment Cheeks become soft and tinted. The cutest
"There aren't many customers today." Eden realized he was being stared at. Some of them asked to reduce their embarrassment.
"The shop is about to close. So there aren't many people."
"Ah!! Am I the last customer?"
"Yes," Leo answered truthfully. Because he was already packing up his things and preparing to close the shop. But was stopped by the salt soup ramen of the person in front of him.
"Good, the last one's boyfriend is handsome," Eden muttered to himself. Forgetting that Leo was still standing there.
"So, is your boyfriend handsome? "
"Yes? “The idiot fell down the stairs, Eden, what did you say?
"Well, Mr. Eden said The last one is handsome. So I asked, is Mr. Eden's boyfriend handsome? "
"I...I don't have a boyfriend."
"And would you like to have one?"
" yes? " Eden asked the older man just now as if he couldn't hear anything well. What do you want? What do you want?
Leo chose not to answer the person in front of him. Heavy hands keep collecting things. before secretly watching the reaction of the little cat sitting with wide eyes with a shocked expression
"How much? "
"I don't charge money."
"No, it's buying and selling."
"Then why don't you take a walk with me instead?" Consider it the cost of the ramen you ate."
" go for a walk? ' Some eyebrows met in curiosity.
"Yes, Mr. Eden, do you have anything to go to?" I forgot to ask."
"No, just call me Eden."
"In that case, little Eden will go for a walk with brother Leo."
"Little Eden? Eden said in confusion. before looking at the thick hand pointing at the open wallet Make your date of birth visible on your ID card
" Brother Leo was born in 1990, little Eden "
A figure walked alongside the ramen chef along the beach. At this time it was quite late. It's almost 10 p.m. and the people he saw sporadically in the early evening are almost gone.
"Why did Brother Leo open a ramen shop here? "
"Actually, I'm an engineer."
" oh? Why did you become a chef?" Eden asked curiously. Who wouldn't suspect an engineer selling ramen?
“There are two kinds of people who come to the sea. If you don't escape the heat...... "
"Just running away from love" was Eden who said the last sentence.
“Yes, probably the latter. I've been here for 4 years now. That person and you have nothing to do with each other. It's only me who is in love with one side. He is my engineer partner."
"It's okay, Brother Leo." His hand tightened in his and he squeezed in encouragement.
"It's been a long time, okay?" Leo stopped as soon as the soft hand touched his own. Without waiting, he inserted his finger into the groove of his slender hand. before holding hands to continue walking
"What about us? Have you ever had a boyfriend?"
"I've never had a boyfriend. Mostly just talking But when we talked and talked and it didn't click, I stopped talking. I don't like men who are bossy, forceful, or try to change anything in my life. Since I am a designer My work requires a lot of brain work and ideas. I'm a very creative person. Everything depends mostly on my emotions. It's because of this. So I don't have anyone."
Eden could feel the warmth of the person walking next to him. It gave him the courage to tell his own story. There were few times when Eden felt so safe and trustworthy.
"Do you believe in love at first sight? Like falling in love?" Leo asked, turning to look at Nuan's face. Even from the side, Eden was as beautiful as ever. No matter which side you look at
"I believe...I believe."
“At first, I didn't really like this word. But when I met It makes me sure. A young man in a white shirt wore a moon-shaped pendant necklace. free-eyed smile Dimples on the cheeks Your sweet voice, soft hands, I think....I've fallen in love." Leo kept walking and talking, not paying attention to the person next to him.
"Brother Leo...."
"Will it be too soon? If it happens...if it happens, I'll say I've fallen in love with Eden." Leo stopped walking before turning to face the thin figure standing with wide eyes.
The hand that isn't holding hands Lifted it up and touched the soft, discolored cheek. before bending his neck to receive a sweet kiss
"Um~~" The moaning, obscene sound came continuously. before it turned into a more intense kiss
"Ugh~~" The thin body is now in a strong embrace. Raise your hand and hit your chest. Due to being unable to breathe
"Jeez ~~" A thick hand touched the thin lips that were now swollen from sucking for a long time.
"Does it hurt? I'm sorry I was harsh on you."
"It's okay," Eden replied, pursed lips tightly. I must admit that You kissed just now if you weren't outside. I swear it won't stop with just kissing.
"Can I please give you a chance? I know it may seem too fast. But I dare to confirm that I didn't bring you to replace anyone. I'm just asking for a chance to prove that what you said is all true, okay? "
"Brother Leo, I'm sure. Eden is a bit of an artist. Not very erratic Brother Leo, can you accept it? “Yes, what Eden fears the most is this. About your own emotions
"I think...I have a method for dealing with naughty children." Leo leaned down and whispered in his ear before letting out a soft breath. Create excitement.
"Ah..what is it?"
"What do you say? What's your answer?"
" um "
"Um..is that? "
"Let's try to study each other first," Eden replied with embarrassment, avoiding his eyes at the large man standing and watching.
"Thank you." Leo raised his slender hand before kissing the back of it.
The couple continued to walk along the beach. Regardless of how late the time was, the sounds of chatter and teasing came out continuously. With the sea as a witness to this love between the two of them....
