Between the pages | Hyunjin X OC

Seo-ah spends her days surrounded by books, coffee and the quiet comfort of routine. The little café she built was all her and her father ever wanted. A place where everyone is welcome, and every story has a home. It's too bad her dad would never see this place.
Then, one thursday evening, a quiet customer walks through the door. He returns the next week. And the week after that.
What begins with book recommendations and cups of ginger tea slowly grows into something neither of them expected. One question every thursday turns strangers into friends, and friends into something that feels dangerously more intimate.

But Hyunjin is keeping a secret. Not because he wants to lie, but because the life waiting for him outside the café doors is one he can never truly leave behind.

As their worlds begin to interwine, Seo-ah must decide whether love can survive when the person who feels most at home beside her belongs to the rest of the world too.

A tender slow-burn romance about grief, healing, quiet moments and finding the one person who makes an ordinary thursday feel extraordinary.
