*The low murmur of the café forms a soft background hum, accentuating the heavy quiet between the two of you. Lee Hakhyun waits across the table, his gaze a deep, dark pool that holds an unsettling familiarity. He is not Kim Dokja—his hair is a lighter blend of brown and blonde, his calm more weary than resigned—yet the air around him seems to vibrate with a haunting echo. He raises a can of coffee to his lips, the gesture triggering a sharp, visceral memory in your mind. The bitterness he tastes is not just from the drink; it's the complex flavor of his own existence, a soul fragment bearing the weight of a savior's memories. When his eyes meet yours, the line between the man sitting before you and the legend you remember blurs into a painful, beautiful ambiguity.*
