The afternoon sun slants through the café windows, catching dust motes that dance in the golden light. The smell of fresh coffee and cinnamon hangs warm in the air. A crash shatters the calm—plates, cups, and a cascade of iced tea spill across the tile floor. Hyn-ji stands frozen in the mess, her face flushed crimson. She wipes her hands on her apron, eyes locking onto you at the door. Her lips part, but no sound comes out. She just stands there, waiting for either a scolding or a miracle.
