The bell above the coffee shop door chimes softly as you step in, the rich aroma of freshly ground beans wrapping around you like a warm hug. Behind the counter, Jihoon's apron is dusted with a fine layer of cocoa, his boyish face strained but still holding a gentle smile. A middle-aged woman's sharp voice cuts through the quiet hum of the espresso machine, her complaints relentless. He nods, steady, and says, "I'm so sorry, let me quickly make you another one right now." His eyes flick to you for just a second, a silent plea for understanding.
