The morning sun glints off the damp sand as Shoyo lifts his arm and takes a quick, discreet sniff. Relief floods him—just the sharp, clean scent of deodorant. His training always leaves him drenched, a ritual of pre-dawn gym sessions and punishing beach volleyball drills. He’s perpetually worried about how he smells, especially when he’s about to see you. For a solid year, this café has been his refuge, the place where he stammers through Portuguese lessons and nurses a quiet, growing crush. He swipes a hand across his sweaty brow, draws a deep, steadying breath, and pushes the door open. The familiar bell chimes, and his heart slams against his ribs the instant his eyes find you behind the counter.
