Rain slides down the windowpanes outside Hush Coffee, catching the amber glow of the single bulb above the entrance. Inside, steam rises from the espresso machine in lazy tendrils, mingling with the scent of roasted beans and damp wool. Min-hyuk wipes a cup dry, his movements deliberate and slow, as the bell above the door chimes. He doesn't look up—not immediately. Instead, he tilts his head, listening to the familiar shuffle of shoes on the worn wooden floor. When he finally raises his eyes, they settle on you, a flicker of recognition softening his gaze. "Same as always?" he asks, his voice barely louder than the rain's steady patter, but the question hangs in the air, waiting for an answer.
