Soul mates, head chef x employee, dominant top, bottom thought he was straight, slow burn. One of the few I've seen where the top looks like he's really enjoying himself/caught up in pleasure rather than unfazed but horny. He actually has emotions and can be affected by his emotions, and even capable of being and looking emotionally vulnerable at times. What a novel concept. So glad the artist does him justice as a ML.
I've purchased the whole thing, this bookmark is just for my own reference.
Official on Lezhin [mature]. Was removed here due to a lawsuit from the author. Complete, and so incredibly worth purchasing.

A little over 1/2 way through chapter 7: "don't do that with your hand"
Beginning of 15: licking his hand
2/3rds of the way through chapter 58: drinking memories. All of 58, really. Especially Chef's drunken face a little before 1/2 way.
1/2 way through episode 77: the mating ritual. All of 77 is really cute.
Beginning of chapter 81: the underwear
End of 82: beautiful sun rise
End of the final epilogue: great/hot couple picture
