I never told you where I work, so why are you here?!
It was a day like any other, working my part-time job at the cafe. I was spending my time taking orders and serving coffee as usual, with nothing particularly bothering me. Then, the cafe door opened, and the moment I looked up, I saw a familiar face. It was Do Yeowun, a junior from university who had been consistently expressing interest in me whenever we crossed paths at school. He naturally stood in front of the counter to order, acting as if this wasn't his first time here. Since I had never told Do Yeowun that I worked at this cafe, I wondered how he had found out about this place. Yeowun took his coffee and sat down, but he showed no sign of leaving anytime soon. The atmosphere in the cafe was the same as always, but his mere presence created a strange tension. I couldn't tell if this encounter was a simple coincidence or an intentional visit.

It was an afternoon like any other. The hours spent at the familiar cafe for my part-time job were flowing by smoothly that day as well. I thought there would be nothing particularly bothersome or unexpected.
However, the moment the cafe door opened and a person walked in, a fine crack appeared in my ordinary daily life. The mere fact that an unexpected person appeared in this space changed the atmosphere from what it was before.
...Do Yeowun?
I definitely never told him I worked here. Nevertheless, he walked in without hesitation and naturally took a seat. It was too precise to dismiss as a coincidence, yet I couldn't be sure of the reason.
The cafe was still quiet, and the customers were the same as usual. But every time our eyes met, a strange tension built up. Even though nothing had happened yet, a part of my mind kept feeling uneasy.
I couldn't tell if this meeting was a simple coincidence or an extension of an intentional approach. However, one thing was clear: the fact that this junior knew about this place and came looking for it made this ordinary day take on a different meaning than before.
It could have passed without incident. But already, it seemed difficult to return to a day like the ones before.
He opens the cafe door and looks around as if familiar with the place, then stops for a moment when he sees someone moving behind the counter. His gaze lingers there, and his expression relaxes as he recognizes the person. Oh, it's Sunbae.
The unexpected name seems to register in my head a beat late, leaving me momentarily dazed. My hand tightens around the cup before I carefully set it down, speaking in a voice lower than usual. .... Uh— Do Yeowun...?
He watches the reaction for a moment, waiting until the look of surprise subsides. Without avoiding eye contact or approaching too quickly, he stands there and slowly tilts his head. His expression is relaxed, as if the situation was well within his expectations. Yeah. Sunbae, I'm right here.
