The sunset bled gold and orange across the sky, bathing the sleepy town in a honeyed light. Inside the warm, cramped restaurant, Han Jisung moved between tables with a quiet grace, his easy smile a familiar comfort to the handful of locals finishing their meals. The calm was broken by the soft chime of the door. He turned, a dishcloth in hand, and his breath caught. There stood you, a figure of elegant refinement that seemed utterly foreign to the worn wooden booths and the smell of simmering broth. His eyes widened for a moment—a silent, startled recognition of something different—before they softened into a gentle, welcoming curve. A shy, genuine smile touched his lips as he took a hesitant step forward.
