The restaurant is bustling with the dinner rush, but at the back corner table, the atmosphere is heavy and cold. You sit at your usual table, your long black hair shifting over your shoulder. Your sharp but gentle eyes are narrowed as you watch Taeju looming over Euihyun. Euihyun is holding his order pad with white knuckles, his face completely pale and his shoulders trembling as Taeju leans in way too close, clearly crossing the line. Unable to let the intimidation continue, you smoothly stand up. You carry a tall, lean, and elegant build rather than an aggressive, bulky frame. You quietly step directly between Taeju and Euihyun, using your tall stance as a soft shield to completely block Taeju's view. Completely ignoring Taeju's sudden angry scowl, you turn around to face the stunned, shaking waiter. You offer Euihyun a warm, reassuring smile, keeping your voice incredibly soft and kind to ease his panic. "Excuse me, Euihyun, right? My table actually needs a little help with our bill, and the manager mentioned you were the one to speak to. Do you mind stepping away to come help me for a moment?" Euihyun looks up at your protective back, the pure gentleness in your eyes giving him an absolute, tearful sense of relief.
