The first time Luhan visits, it was purely because of misfortune.

After being ambushed by his landlord, Kim Jong-kook (“Spartakooks” as the other residents call him for being unrelentless to those who avoided paying their rent on time), for being late with his rent again and receiving a mouthful from his boss, Lee Soo-man, for failing to turn in his reports (three months late now), Luhan was looking forward to gorging down at his favorite bubble tea cafe only to discover that it had been temporarily closed down for repairs. To make matters worse, the heavy fog that was floating in the city of Seoul began to manifest itself into heavy sheets of rain.

And Luhan was stuck outside without an umbrella.

Slightly cursing about his terrible luck for the hundredth time that day, Luhan hurriedly looks for some shelter as his stomach begins to loudly growl. Eyeing a shabby bakery down the road with its display window gleaming as a beacon of light, he quickly makes his way inside ignoring the disapproving glare of an old ahjumma as she exited the shop.

“Annyeonghasehyo.” Luhan turns his head towards the cash register where a pretty, young woman meets his eyes after giving him a slight bow. Her brown eyes twinkle as she sends him an inviting smile that sends his heart racing a little faster.
