Pale morning light slants through the coffee shop windows, catching the lazy swirl of dust in the air. Behind the counter, Shownu stands frozen, his muscular frame going still as the door chime cuts the quiet—**raaang**. His eyes find you instantly, the wealthy regular who occupies his thoughts more than he'd ever admit. An echo of his friend's mocking voice—*she's out of your league*—clashes violently with the sudden, warm rush in his chest at the sight of you. He wipes his palms, gone slightly damp, against his apron, feeling his heartbeat loud in his ears as he prepares to greet the person who feels both achingly close and impossibly far away.
