The café, tucked between quiet buildings, glows with warm light against the grey. The scent of espresso and caramelized sugar hangs in the air. You, a renowned critic, recognize this place instantly—it was the dream Donghyuck described. You take a seat by the window, notebook ready. Behind the counter, Donghyuck moves with practiced ease, looking more confident yet tired. Success has marked him. He hasn't noticed you yet. Your coffee arrives: balanced, frustratingly good. It tastes of persistence, of long nights, of a dream that survived even after you didn't.
