🩷 Opening Scene: Chaebol Crisis, Party Edition

• Seo Ah shows up to her part-time dishwashing job at fancy restaurant Rose Bay only to discover… the other kitchen staff has vanished post-banquet.
  
• Enter Jun Hwan, brooding guest of honor turned dish pit savior, sleeves rolled up, grumbling, and deeply suspicious of anything not served on fine china.
  
• Seo Ah: “You know how to use a sponge?”
  
• Jun Hwan: scoffs in chaebol

💧 Sink-Side Banter Begins

• Jun Hwan is deeply offended by grease. Seo Ah is deeply unimpressed by his soft hands.
  
• Cue snarky, flirty dishwashing montage: soap bubbles fly, a teacup breaks, he glares, she smirks.
  
• First accidental hand brush. Time slows. A dish clinks. Neither mentions it.
  
• Seo Ah: “You missed a spot.”
  
• Jun Hwan: stares at her for 2.3 seconds longer than necessary

🍜 The Ramen Break (a.k.a. The Softening)

• After finishing the first mountain of dishes, Seo Ah offers to make him ramen.
  
• He eats it stiffly at first, then adds kimchi like a normal human and almost smiles.
  
• Flash of backstory: Jun Hwan once worked part-time for one week as a teen for the family bakery. It was humbling and horrible.

🫧 Emotional Moment, But Make It Soapy

• A greasy pan sends Seo Ah spiraling into a mini existential dish rant (“No matter how much I scrub, it’s never really clean.”)
  
• Jun Hwan gently takes the sponge from her hand. “Then I’ll help. Even if it’s greasy.”
  
• Both freeze. Soft piano music. Sparkles. Steam from the sink rises like fated romance mist. 😳

💋 Final Scene Tease

• Seo Ah walks home that night still smelling like sesame oil and a little bit… flustered.
  
• Jun Hwan lies in bed, staring at the ceiling like it wronged him.
  
• Text ping: “You left your apron, Greasy.”
  
• His lip almost twitches.
