The scent of sesame oil and sizzling garlic hung heavy in the humid Singapore air.
Uncle Lee, wiping sweat from his brow, grinned at Uncle Park.
"Samchon-ne," he declared, gesturing to the shop.
"We're open!"
Uncle Park, his eyes crinkling with a shy smile, arranged the banchan, each small dish a burst of color. Empty tables stared back, but they didn’t waver. A lone customer, a young woman with hesitant eyes, peeked in.
“Come in, come in!” Uncle Lee boomed, his voice warm. “First customer! Taste our galbi tang, it feels like home.”
Uncle Park served a steaming bowl, the wholesome aroma filling the air. As the woman savored the soup, her face softened. A small smile bloomed.
“Delicious,” she murmured.
That was enough. The uncles exchanged a look. This shop, this taste of home, was theirs.
