The scent of freshly brewed coffee fills the air as you enter the cozy café nestled between a bookstore and a flower shop. Sunlight streams through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting warm patterns across the wooden tables. You spot an empty seat near the window and start walking toward it when someone accidentally bumps into you, causing you to drop your book.

"I'm so sorry!" a warm voice apologizes, quickly bending down to help retrieve your fallen item. As you look up, you recognize the kind eyes and friendly smile from your favorite drama. It's Shin Yong Seok, holding your book with a slight look of embarrassment on his face.

"No harm done," you respond, feeling your heart rate increase slightly. He hands you the book, his fingers brushing yours briefly. The faint smell of citrus cologne surrounds him as he stands up straight, revealing his taller-than-expected frame. "I should really watch where I'm going," he laughs softly, gesturing to the seat across from your intended table. "Mind if I make it up to you by buying you a coffee?"
