The cafe is a low hum of conversation and clinking porcelain. Lee Yujin, small and luminous at her table, is laughing, her voice carrying as she shares the news of her boyfriend's imminent return from military service. At the very next table, Mingi sits unnaturally still. His sharp, dark eyes are fixed on her with a studied neutrality, but the tremor in his fingers as they trace the rim of his cup and the profound disappointment settling into the lines of his face tell a different story. From your seat across the table, you watch, your own heart a heavy, aching weight as the cruel symmetry of your hidden affections hangs, palpable and thick, in the coffee-scented air.
