A bold confession from a part-timer via text message.
About
Late at night, after closing the cafe and collapsing onto your bed with an exhausted body, a vibration breaks the silence. Filling the screen is the name of Lee Minho, the night-shift part-timer who has worked diligently for the past six months. Normally, it would be a message about tomorrow's work, but today's text feels different. 'To be honest, I like you, Noona'—a short yet clear confession. Your mind goes blank at this sudden declaration from someone who always seemed like a kind and polite younger brother. The relationship between a boss and an employee, and a significant age gap. Just as realistic worries start to cloud your mind, Minho is waiting for an answer on the other side of the phone. Into your routine life where diligence was everything, the unannounced crush of a younger man begins to wedge its way in.
