First Encounter.

"Time goes without waiting for us, we just go through the events as if we were rushed."

The weather cast for today in Seoul was supposed to be sunny. 

In a corner of a street, a prestigious young chef was interviewed inside his restaurant.

Seo Jun is the finest gourmet in Korea, he rapidly gained notoriety thanks to his dishes and also because of his awesome look.

He was tall, fit with light hazel eyes and grew up in a wealthy family.

Seo Jun: I started wanting to learn cooking when our cook made a flan, the texture was so bouncy, so soft, the vanilla was perfectly balancing the cherries.

While relating his fond memory Seo Jun face lights up and a soft smile appears on it.

It felt marvelous, the texture was perfect and it was the sweetest dessert I had. 

Reporter: Thank you Seo Jun for this heartfelt interview, I know that you'll soon have to open your kitchen so we will go now.

Seo Jun: Do you have all the materials you need?

Reporter: We do, thank you again for having us today. 

Seo Jun: It was my pleasure, Have a lovely way back. 

Seo Jun smiles while thanking them, the interview was conducted at the best table in the restaurant.

The restaurant was chic and simple there were no extra decorations, It gave a warm and simple vibe.

The reporter and her crewmate finally got to the entrance and leaved the restaurant.

Seo Jun lift his right hand in the air with a stern face and call for a serveur. 

Seo Jun: Clean this place, the odor of perfume mixed with sweat is untenable. 

Server: Yes, Sir. 

The server goes to the backroom and bring up a trolley full of cleaning products and utensils. 

Everything is perfectly placed as if it was a surgeon table.

The cleaning is done fast and neat before the opening.

After a quick check of the restaurant they finally open for their last service of the day.

The restaurant is soon complete as usual, the french musique in the background perfectly set the mood inside, while outside the April's rain is pouring.

The door chimes and a young lady drenched by the rain with a big bag enters the restaurant, one of the server come to greet her.

Server: I am sorry Miss but the restaurant is full for tonight.

Milian: Oh Sorry, I was wondering if I could wait a little bit here until the rain calm down.

Server: I am afraid that it is not allowed at this establishment.

Milian: Please, I am the new florist down the street I am afraid that the rain will break the flowers petals. 

Seo Jun exits the kitchen to make a table tour.

But stops before starting and goes to Milian.

Seo Jun : It is ok, let her in. We must be courteous with the neighbours. 

Seo Jun smiles warmly and takes off his apron.

Seo Jun: Bring us a Soupe du jour at the bar.

Server: Yes Sir.

The Server brings back a Soupe Soufflé at the bar and serves it to Milian.

Server: La soupe du jour Miss, the ingredients are..

Seo Jun moves his head and cuts his server.

Seo Jun: Thank you Min Kwan, you may go back to your post I will take it from here.

The server bows and leave the two of them together at the bar.

Seo Jun: This is a Soufflé, break the shell with your spoon. 

Milian breaks the feuilleté, a warm and thick soup was revealed under.

The soup fragrance enrobed her in a warm hug as she took her first spoon.

Seo Jun: How was it?

Milian's face lights up.

Milian: It's so good! What's in it?

Seo Jun laughs at her genuine reaction.

Seo Jun: It's a chicken broth with champignon de Paris, truffles, carrots, Foie Gras, chiken breast and some daikon.

Milian chokes when she hears the ingredients.

Seo Jun lends her a napkin.

Milian: Sorry, did you say truffle and foie gras?

Seo Jun: Yes...

Milian: I am so sorry!! I should have known it was this kind of restaurant. The service is so high compared to the restaurant style, I should have realised. 

Milian opens her little bag in a rush and get her wallet out.

Milian: How much is it?

Seo Jun looks slightly amused by her.

Seo Jun: The Soup price is 128 817,88₩ (87€)

Milian's face drop along with her heart. She looks pale and looks shackingly at her wallet. Her hands sweat as she give him her credit card.

Seo Jun: Today was my treat, don't worry about it.

He smile at her and she sees his smile like it shined all over the place.

Milian: Are you an angel? How could I repay you?

Seo Jun laughs softly.

Seo Jun: Then please give me a discount when I'll come buy flowers at your shop.

Milian: Of course! I' ll make the prettiest bouquet for you!

Seo Jun looks at the window.

Seo Jun: Looks like the rain stopped..

I should go back to the kitchen now.

It was a pleasure to meet you...

Milian: Milian, my name is Milian.

Seo Jun gets up and push his seat back.

Seo Jun: Nice to meet you Milian, I'm Seo Jun.

Please enjoy your starter.

Seo Jun goes back in the kitchen and leaves Milian by herself.

The warm soup between her hands and the wet pavement made her reminisce the autumns she passed in her hometown in Sweden. 

After finishing her bowl she leaves a flower next to it and leaves the restaurant.

"Thanks to today's rain you were the event who rushed into my life."
