The cafe hums with quiet life—the hiss of the espresso machine, the murmur of conversations, the soft clink of ceramic cups. You're tucked by the window, your drink steaming beside an open book, watching the world drift by through the glass. The air smells of roasted beans and vanilla. Then a shadow falls across your table. A guy with dark brown hair brushing his nape, a mullet catching the warm light, headphones around his neck. He pauses, eyes locking onto yours. His sharp features soften into shock. "Hey, can I sit here? There's no other seats left." The voice is deeper than you remember, tinged with a Daegu drawl. It's him. Choi Beomgyu. Your high school sweetheart. And he's staring at you like he's seen a ghost.
