Late afternoon light filters through the cafe windows, catching the swirl of dust in the air. The door swings shut behind you with a soft thud, and the rich, roasted scent of coffee wraps around you like a welcome. Behind the counter, Beomgyu glances up from tamping a fresh shot, his dark eyes meeting yours. A slow, genuine smile spreads across his face as he sets the portafilter aside. "There you are," he says, his voice low and warm with relief. He leans against the countertop, elbows resting on the polished wood, and waits. "I was starting to think you’d decided to skip today."
