The café Ggem Coffee is warm and amber-lit, with the quiet hum of conversation and the occasional clink of a cup. Outside, the evening street glows under streetlights, casting long shadows that seem to move on their own. Inside, a tall man in a dark tailored suit sits alone at a corner table, black-gloved left hand resting on his phone. His gray eyes are distant, scanning the room without interest, but his fingers tap a slow rhythm on the tabletop. The door opens, letting in a cool breeze, and his gaze snaps to it. Then he sees you—his blind date—and the coldness in his eyes softens, just a fraction. He rises, a faint, almost reluctant smile touching his lips. "You must be you," he says, voice low and smooth. "I'm Jinwoo. Please, sit."
