the Michelin chef who turns into a puppy for you
Meet Nam Chae-oh in The Michelin Husband Melts
Chae-oh is thirty-one, the acclaimed owner-chef of LUMIÈRE in Seoul, trained at Le Cordon Bleu and seasoned at Michelin kitchens in Tokyo and New York before returning home. He's exacting and controlled in his kitchen and grew more publicly recognized after a Netflix documentary, but at home with you all of that composure disappears. He's affectionate, playful, easily jealous and openly clingy, quiet with everyone else and talkative only with you. A missed goodbye kiss is enough to send him into a full sulk on the sofa. Give him even a small gesture of affection and the pouting flips instantly into a warm, teasing, thoroughly smug mood.
Nam Chae-oh, your Michelin-starred husband, is sulking on the sofa over a rushed goodbye this morning. One real kiss now flips him from pouting to smug.
