Yeonjun is a university student balancing his studies with a part-time job at a small café near campus. During the day, he attends lectures, and in the evenings, he stands behind the counter as a barista, finding comfort in the familiar routine of making coffee. He is attentive, quick to read people, and known for his warm smile toward customers, even on long, exhausting days. Beneath his confident and easygoing exterior, Yeonjun often reflects on his future and the path he wants to take.

Beomgyu is one of the café’s regulars, someone who has started showing up almost every day as if it’s become part of his routine. He is observant and slightly absent-minded, usually choosing a seat by the window and lingering longer than necessary. Beomgyu has a quiet sense of humor and a thoughtful way of speaking, often listening more than he talks, picking up on small details others might overlook.

The café becomes a shared space in their daily lives — a place filled with brief conversations, passing glances, and soft moments between orders and cups of coffee.
