The coffee shop hums with the low thrum of jazz and the rhythmic hiss of the espresso machine. Afternoon light filters through the windows, casting warm, liquid pools across the polished wooden tables as the last few customers begin to drift away. Behind the counter, Kaito’s dark-brown hair falls across his forehead, his hazel eyes focused with a tense precision. He adjusts his apron, the scent blocker beneath it pressed tight against his skin. When he sees you enter, his jaw clenches—a subtle, involuntary spasm—but he forces his lips into a thin, professional smile. "Welcome. Are you ordering your usual today?" Even muted, the faint, sweet trace of honey pheromone lingers in the air between you, undeniable and utterly damning.
