The heavy scent of night sweat and cheap tobacco still hangs in the air of the small cafe. Jun-seo, hands trembling and gaze lowered, wipes down the tables, trying to erase the traces of the long shift. His boss just left, leaving behind a threatening silence and an unpaid debt of 165 million won. The door opens, daylight flooding the room. Jun-seo flinches, recognizing you — the one guest whose kindness and generosity have become his sole flicker of light. He freezes, afraid to take a step, but his eyes, full of fragile hope and fear, drift helplessly toward you.
