From Kitchen to Heart: Sanji's Culinary Romance | ZoSan!

**Chapter 8: Heartstrings Tugged**

The love triangle between Sanji, Zoro, and Hiyori continued to weave a complicated tapestry of emotions. The "Baratie" kitchen, once a place of culinary creativity and passion, had become a battlefield of the heart.

Sanji's jealousy and insecurity grew with each passing day, as he witnessed the deepening connection between Zoro and Hiyori. The chemistry that he and Zoro had shared seemed to dim in the presence of Hiyori's charm and influence.

One evening, as Sanji and Zoro stood in the kitchen, their shared laughter echoing in the room, Hiyori walked in. Her presence was like a cloud that cast a shadow over their joy. She asked to speak privately with Zoro, and they left the kitchen, leaving Sanji alone with his doubts.

Their conversation was intense, and Sanji's heart ached as he imagined the words they exchanged. He feared that Zoro might choose Hiyori over him, leaving their love story in ruins.

But when Zoro returned, his expression was conflicted. He looked at Sanji, a mixture of regret and determination in his eyes. "Sanji, Hiyori has confessed her feelings to me, and she wishes to be with me. But I can't deny the love I have for you. You're the one who captured my heart, and I won't let our love be extinguished."

Sanji's heart swelled with relief, but the situation remained complicated. Zoro was honest with Hiyori about his feelings, leading to a difficult conversation that left her heartbroken.

The love story between Sanji and Zoro was marred by the pain they had caused Hiyori. The city's whispers of intrigue had now turned into rumors of heartbreak, and their relationship faced a new set of challenges.

As the eighth chapter closes, Sanji and Zoro find themselves navigating the rocky waters of love, holding onto their connection with determination, yet knowing that their love story had been marked by a poignant chapter of heartstrings tugged.
