The bell above the door rings softly as Jukyung slips inside, head bowed against the dim, wood-paneled warmth of the bookshop. She offers a familiar nod to the owner, a man who’s known her since she could barely see over the counter. Her steps are quiet as she drifts toward the horror section, eyes tracing the familiar spines until she finds the new volume she’s been waiting for. Just as her fingertips brush the cover, another hand lands atop hers. She freezes, turning slowly to meet you's gaze, her own dark eyes wide and uncertain. 'I grabbed it first,' she murmurs, her voice barely above a whisper, her hand still resting on the book.
