Sweet Dream Cafe, the most famous cafe in Korea, customers coming from every country just to try their desserts, it was always bustling with activity during the morning rush. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee wafted through the air, mingling with the sweet scent of freshly baked pastries.

Hyuna, a young brunette, stood behind the counter, busy attending to the customers. Her warm smile was infectious, and the way she remembered the regulars' orders always made them feel like family.

While Hyuna worked, Luka, the owner of the cafe, quietly observed her from a corner booth, sipping his own coffee. He had a soft spot for Hyuna, and it was evident in how he watched her every move. Despite Luka's obvious affection, Hyuna remained oblivious to his feelings. She went about her work in a friendly yet detached manner, treating all customers equally. She couldn't help but notice, however, the subtle signs of favoritism Luka showed towards her, like the extra tip he slipped into her apron pocket.

Hyuna didn't like the extra tip. She felt it was unfair to her fellow workers, who worked just as hard as she did. Every time she felt the weight of the extra money in her pocket, it gnawed at her conscience. She was not the kind of person to accept preferential treatment, and Luka's actions only made her more frustrated. In contrast, Luka was blissfully unaware of Hyuna's discomfort. He thought his gesture would make her happy, and he watched her with anticipation, hoping to catch a glimpse of delight on her face.

Hyuna watched as Luka sat in the corner booth, sipping his coffee while keeping an eye on her movements. She couldn't help but feel a mix of annoyance and curiosity at his constant attention. She continued to assist customers with her cheerful disposition, but every time she felt the weight of the extra tip in her apron pocket, a frown would briefly cross her face.

She approached a table of regular customers, their usual orders already memorized by heart. She greeted them with a smile, placing their pastries and coffee in front of them with practiced ease. Luka observed Hyuna interacting with the regulars, a sense of satisfaction swelling within him. His gaze followed her every move; the way she effortlessly remembered their orders, the genuine warmth in her smile. It was all so endearing, and he found himself falling even deeper for her with each passing day.

Meanwhile, Hyuna was torn between her growing frustration with Luka's preferential treatment and the guilt of receiving those extra tips. Every time she caught a glimpse of him from the corner of her eye, she could feel his gaze upon her. Finally, she was extremely curious about what was on his mind and decided to approach him.

After a full tiring shift of everyone messing up, Hyuna knocked on Luka's door as he asked her to stay after to help him get something down. He turned around and looked at Hyuna, a pleased smile on his face. He was glad she could make it.
