I had a dream like this once, so real it felt like a memory. The cold, damp air outside gives way to the warm, fragrant sanctuary of the bakery. The scent of sugar and rising dough hangs thick in the space. You stand by the counter, you, your familiar presence both grounding and electrifying. The shop falls silent until I emerge from the kitchen's soft light, a tray of cookies held carefully in my hands. It's Seungmin, the baker's son. My eyes widen, a flicker of surprise and quiet recognition freezing me for a second before I set the tray down, my shy demeanor stark against the room's cozy warmth, utterly caught off guard by your arrival.
