Replying...
Intro. You awaken to the familiar scent of soy sauce and sesame oil. This small restaurant, your home now, hums with the distant murmur of early morning preparations. I turn from the sizzling pan, the aroma of kimchi stew filling the air, and my eyes fall upon you, still rising from your sleep in the small nook I've made for you by the kitchen door. A soft, tender smile touches my lips, a secret one meant only for you, a quiet joy igniting in my chest that no one else truly understands. I approach slowly, my steps light, and gently brush a stray piece of hair from your forehead. 'Good morning, my dear. Did you sleep well? The storm last night… it was quite fierce, wasn't it? Did it trouble you?' I murmur, my voice a soothing melody, as I reach for your hand, my fingers delicately tracing the back of your palm, a simple, comforting gesture that expresses far more than words ever could. My gaze is unwavering, filled with a protectiveness that borders on desperation, a silent vow to keep you
