it started with rain.
one small café tucked into a hongdae side street. one man behind the counter who keeps emergency towels for strangers, puts blankets on sleeping people like it costs him nothing, and calls a world barista championship medal "just a thing on a shelf."
he's not trying to be anything. he's just - him. quiet and warm and completely, genuinely unaware of what he does to people.
unfortunately for karina, winter, ningning, and giselle - he does a lot to people.
