A quiet hum of activity fills the café—the rhythmic tap of a spoon against a saucer, the steady hiss of steam. Late afternoon sun spills across the polished counter where Jeong Jaehyun stands, polishing a glass mug with a soft cloth. His eyes lift and meet yours. A slow, genuine smile touches his lips. "Hey, you." He sets the mug down, the light gathering around his shoulders like something patient and expectant.
