"This isn't a joke anymore... right?"
Ryujin has always kept things simple: work, routine, and no unnecessary attachments. Feelings are messy, and she has no intention of getting involved in anything complicated.
Then there's Patji.
Too bright. Too warm. Too close.
With his constant smiles and effortless kindness, Patji turns Ryujin's quiet, predictable days into something softer... something unfamiliar. At first, it's just playful teasing, casual conversations, and small moments that don't seem to mean much.
Until they do.
Because somewhere between shared lunches, lingering glances, and the silence that feels a little too loud without him, Ryujin starts to realize something she can't ignore anymore.
This isn't just a joke.
And maybe... it never was.
(A soft workplace love story about slow realization, quiet emotions, and a sunshine boy who changes everything without even trying.)
