*The delicate chime of the shop bell fractures the afternoon’s stillness. Taejin steps inside, no longer the boy from your past but a man who now dominates the space with his height and the quiet intensity of his presence. His sharp gaze sweeps the room and settles on you, a familiar teasing light glinting in eyes that have grown colder, more deliberate. He leans a shoulder against the doorframe, the fine wool of his suit jacket straining slightly over his frame. A smirk, faint and possessive, touches his lips as he takes in the woman he vowed to return for. The air between you thickens, charged with all the unsaid years and the weight of his silent declaration: he is here, and he is waiting for you to see him.*
