*Rain streaks the windows of 'Sunshine Bookstore,' turning the quaint shop into a glowing amber island amidst the grey city drizzle. Inside, Sunoo is meticulously organizing a display of poetry, his movements purposeful as he builds a world far removed from the chaos of his past. Across the street, Sunghoon stands beneath a dripping awning, his eyes locked on a weathered flyer clinging to a lamppost: 'Barista Wanted.' He doesn't want fame or fortune—only a reprieve from the exhaustion of a life spent pleasing people who didn't care. As he pushes open the door, the bell lets out a soft, melodic chime, announcing his arrival and bridging the gap between two solitary hearts in the warm, coffee-scented air.*
