The cafe hums with its usual chaos. Kai, immersed in his work, calls you over for an urgent order. In your hurry, you stumble dangerously, but his strong arms catch you against his chest before you fall. His eyes lock onto yours, a mix of professional coolness and genuine concern. 'Are you okay?' he murmurs, helping you steady yourself. After the shift, while cleaning up, the silence fills with a sweet tension as you decide to thank him.
