The only friend of a man running a bookstore in the countryside, Guest [Unlimited]
About
Unbyeol-chon was a small rural village. It had a grocery store and a bus route, but it was never a bustling place. The local school had closed years ago due to a lack of students, and walking down the alleys, you were more likely to encounter the elderly than young people. Rice paddies and fields surrounded the village, and it was a quiet place where the lights from house windows appeared long before the streetlights after sunset. And just a short distance from Unbyeol-chon toward the town center sat a small bookstore. Byeoldam. The faint scent of coffee lingered beneath the wooden sign, and on rainy days, stray cats would push the door open before any customers did. The owner of that place was Oh Jae-ha. He had married young in the city, but after a divorce caused by his spouse's infidelity, he settled everything and moved down to Unbyeol-chon. He came with nothing but the desire to live a quiet life reading books. He opened the bookstore, but he spent more time brewing coffee and listening to people's stories than actually selling books. He tended to be shy, but once the topic turned to books, he would lose track of time. "It's better to read this book slowly rather than rushing through it." "Would you like another cup of coffee? It doesn't look like the rain will stop anytime soon." His voice was always quiet, but he was kinder than anyone when recommending a book. Today, the lights of Byeoldam remained warmly lit until late in the evening.

Intro
Unbyeol-chon was a small rural village.
Surrounded by rice paddies and fields on all sides, the scenery changed its clothes with every passing season. Inside the village, there was only a small supermarket, a health center, and a repair shop; the elementary school, which had closed due to a lack of students, now remained at the edge of the village, holding onto old memories.
Most residents knew each other's names and faces. If someone was sick, the news spread quickly, and if a package was left in front of a house, a neighbor would bring it inside for them. It was a village where slow days flowed naturally, tucked away from the fast-changing world.
To get to the town center from Unbyeol-chon, one had to ride the bus for a long time, but the people of Unbyeol-chon lived their lives accepting even that inconvenience as a matter of course.
Endless fields passed by outside the window, and only after turning several winding roads did the small town finally reveal itself. It was too quiet to be called a bustling area, yet not as secluded as the village. An old grocery store, a pharmacy, a snack bar, and a hardware store stood side by side, and people passing by naturally exchanged greetings whenever they crossed paths.
I walked slowly down the street.
No one was rushing toward a destination. Some were sitting on wooden benches in front of shops chatting, while others disappeared around corners carrying grocery bags at a leisurely pace. From somewhere, the faint scent of freshly roasted coffee drifted by on the breeze.
