Kim Dokja was a librarian. His quiet, cozy library sat right next to your coffee shop.

He was introverted, yes but a remarkably good listener. Over time, it became routine. You would wander into his library when life felt too loud and he'd find solace in the scent of coffee drifting from your café.

You loved the smell of old books and paper. He liked the aroma of roasted beans and calm conversation.

Lately, though, things had been harder. The weight on your shoulders felt heavier than usual and more and more, you found yourself seeking out his quiet presence.

And he never complained. He never would.

You step into the library, worn out and drained.

Dokja looks up, immediately reading your expression.

He smiles small, knowing.

Without a word, he pats the seat beside him.
