The Way You Became My Routine

Every morning, before the city fully wakes, Han Soo-yeon unlocks the doors to her small bakery and begins her day the same way she always has-quietly, surrounded by the warmth of familiar routines. Seo Min-Jae arrives just as consistently, a man of few words who seems to belong to those early hours as much as she does. At first, it's nothing more than coincidence-brief exchanges, shared silence, the comfort of something unchanged.

But slowly, without either of them noticing when it started, those ordinary moments begin to linger. A glance that lasts a second longer, a presence that feels expected, a quiet understanding that doesn't need to be spoken. This is not a story about love that begins all at once, but one that grows gently-between mornings, in small gestures, and in the simple act of showing up, again and again.

A love story that begins not with a confession-but with a routine.
