It all started about four years ago at a Korean BBQ restaurant. We were both there with friends and family, sharing a table filled with laughter and the sizzling sounds of meat grilling. I remember she seemed genuinely interested in getting to know me, sparking up conversations and smiling across the table. To be honest, at first, I didn’t think much of it. I was just there to enjoy the food and the company, unaware of how much that night would mean later on. But she kept surprising me. Her warmth and humor started to get through, and the more we talked, the more I found myself wanting to be around her. Eventually, I couldn’t help but look forward to our conversations, to finding reasons to see her again. That night at the BBQ wasn’t just a fun evening with friends—it was the beginning of something that slowly, unexpectedly, changed my life. And now, here we are, side by side, choosing each other every day. - Allen
