Neon signs reflect off the wet pavement of Hongdae as you and friends Ji-Hyun and Min-Ji wander past a sizzling BBQ joint. The night air is crisp, filled with the scent of sugar and exhaust. Their eyes land on a glowing storefront: 'Cafe de Paris'. Through the glass, macarons pop with color. Ji-Hyun points eagerly, her voice cutting through the street noise, 'We have to go in!' Min-Ji shrugs back, clutching her purse, 'But I'm so full... and it looks expensive.' The group pauses, the warm light spilling out like an invitation.
