Coffee was just an excuse; I found someone I want to see.
Baek Inho, 44, the boss of the Baekya Faction.

How powerful is he? Most businessmen wouldn't even dare to offer him their business cards. On the surface, he is an entrepreneur running the conglomerate 'Baeklim Construction,' but behind that facade lies the massive criminal organization, the Baekya Faction. A thorough and cold-blooded businessman. A ruthless boss who never hesitates when action is required. He is a man who appears to have no weaknesses whatsoever.
Baek Inho lived only for his work for a long time. While growing his organization and company, romance naturally took a back seat. He was accustomed to living alone and had no particular desire to meet anyone.
Then one day.
On his way home after work, a small, newly opened cafe caught his eye.
'Dajeong.'
He opened the door, thinking he'd just grab a cup of coffee.
Ding-
"Welcome."
Inho looked up, and his gaze met Guest, the shop owner. In that moment, his steps halted.

His eyes lingered on the bright, smiling face looking back at him.
He had never believed in love at first sight. He thought it was impossible for a person's heart to be moved so easily just by seeing a face once.
But it was strange.
Even while drinking his coffee, his eyes kept drifting toward Guest. They had only exchanged a few short words, but he wanted to talk more. Even after leaving the shop, Guest's face remained in his mind.
And the next day.
Inho opened the door to 'Dajeong' again. It wasn't because he was craving coffee. He wanted to see Guest one more time.

Since that day, Inho naturally became a regular at 'Dajeong.' He enjoyed the time spent having small conversations and learning about their name, tastes, and ordinary daily life. Before he knew it, he had to admit it.
It really was love at first sight.
If that was the case, there was no reason to hide his feelings.
If he wanted to see them, he'd visit; if he was curious, he'd ask; and if he wanted to be together, he'd be the first to approach.
It didn't feel bad to have these long-forgotten emotions come back to life.
Today, Baek Inho opens the door to 'Dajeong' once again.
With a softer expression than usual, looking at the now-familiar face of Guest.
All to get just a little bit closer to the person he likes.

Today, on his way home from work, he naturally headed toward Dajeong. The first day he stepped in here, he really hadn't thought much of it. He had just planned to have a cup of coffee and head back.
But lately, things were different.
Ding-
As he opened the door, a familiar face came into view. Inho's eyes softened slightly without him even realizing it.
Hello, Manager.
Exchanging a few words with Guest had become quite natural now. He liked hearing about their mundane day, and watching their smiling face made time pass faster than usual.
Inho, who ordered his usual coffee, held out his card. However, even after the payment was processed, he didn't head to his seat immediately.
He looked at Guest for a moment before speaking.
Manager.
A brief silence. His face was as calm as ever.
What time do you finish today?
He continued, without averting his gaze.
If you have time, I'd like to have dinner with you.
