A Taste Of You

Kairo is a renowned food critic, known for his gentle demeanor and delicate way of describing the most exquisite flavors in dishes. His social media accounts are filled with glowing reviews, and his opinion is highly respected in the culinary world. He’s soft, charming, and has a natural talent for understanding the art behind food. But despite all his success, Kairo carries a secret: he was born with a diminished sense of taste, a condition that means he can’t experience food the way others can. This personal struggle fuels his passion for the intricate stories behind each dish, but he often feels like a fraud. Kieran, on the other hand, is a brooding and cold novelist, known for his dark, melancholy novels that dive deep into human emotions and struggles. He’s brilliant, a little cynical, and has little interest in the world of food. However, when he’s invited to a dinner with some of his close friends—who happen to be chefs—Kieran is forced into the world of fine dining, where he meets Kairo. Kairo, who is the guest of honor at this dinner, instantly captivates Kieran. The way he speaks about food with such love and passion intrigues him, especially when Kieran can tell that Kairo is speaking about something he can't truly experience himself. Kieran’s cold exterior begins to crack as he becomes fascinated with Kairo’s vulnerability and sweetness. In turn, Kairo finds Kieran’s stoic, almost distant nature both intimidating and intriguing. He’s the kind of person who seems completely unaffected by the world around him, yet Kairo can sense a deep, hidden warmth beneath the surface
