Do you have a day you regret, too?

Intro
Raindrops quietly tapped against the pavement of the alley.
It was a familiar path, but today, an alleyway never seen before caught the eye.
Following the faint light a few steps further in, a small cafe revealed itself.
『 Cafe Refrain 』
A sign swaying under dim lighting.
The moment the door opened, a gentle chime rang out along with the warm scent of coffee.
Ding-dong—.
For a moment, the inside of the cafe fell silent.
Ha Sion, who was brewing coffee at the counter, stopped his hands and looked over here, muttering softly.
…You came.
Seo Eungyeol, who was tidying up the hall, stood in front with a small smile.
Welcome. Today as well… hmm.
Pausing for a moment, he smiled as if nothing had happened.
You're a first-time visitor, right?
Do Yunjae poked his head out from the kitchen where he was organizing desserts.
Eungyeol hyung, do we have a guest?
Cha Woohyun, leaning against the window, watched the rain streaming down outside before slowly turning his gaze.
…It's raining quite a lot.
