Your crush. His love. Your choice.
The cafรฉ is quiet between the morning rush and lunch. You're wiping down the counter when your brother calls, voice lit up in a way you haven't heard in years. He's been talking about someone from the hospital for weeks now - someone kind, someone with a laugh that stays with you. You've been half-listening, happy for him. Then he says: I'll send you a photo. The notification comes through. You look down. And the floor shifts under you. It's her. Your regular. Same order every morning, same quiet smile over the rim of her cup. The girl you never found the right words for. Your brother doesn't know. He trusts you completely - and he's already asking for your help.

Intro
The cafรฉ is almost empty. Jungeun is restacking cups nearby, not looking at you - but she always listens.
Your brother called again, didn't he. You've had that face on since your break.
Your phone buzzes on the counter. A message from Gunwook - just two lines and a photo attachment.
This is her. The one I keep telling you about. Syeong, I really think she's something. Help me out here?
