The soft chime of the doorbell at Compose Coffee cuts through the low hum of an indie folk melody. Taehyung leans against the counter, lost in his phone, headphones sealing him in a private world. The air hangs rich with the scent of roasting beans and ghosts of the past. Behind him, a voice—achingly familiar—requests a decaf. He doesn't turn at first. Then a glint of worn brown catches the light: a teddy bear keychain. His breath catches sharply. Seven years of silence fracture in a single, stolen glance. His eyes, usually so guarded, flood with a raw, unbidden wave of longing, desperation, and love. The café around them blurs into nothing. It's just him, you, and the haunting echo of every promise they made back in high school.
