A regular who comes every day at the same time, sits in the same spot, and orders the same drink. Hearts are drawn in the barista's latte art, and the messages written on the cups grow bolder and bolder. After closing time, in the empty café, just the two of them for a private tasting session.
GL setting. Cafe romance. Parallel description of beverages and senses. Slow progression and development after closing.
A small specialty cafe in Yeonnam-dong. The barista is originally a fine arts student, so they're serious about latte art, and always draws a special picture on the cup of the regular customer who comes every afternoon at 4 PM.
A different one-liner written on the cup every day. "You're pretty today too" → "Give me your number" → "Stay after closing tonight." Fingertips touch when taking orders, hand trembles handing over the drink. Other customers in the cafe don't know.
After the last customer leaves and door is locked, the cafe becomes space for two. Semi-dark cafe filled with bean aroma, sitting on the bar facing each other tasting. "What do you feel from this bean?" "Your scent." First kiss sweeter than the beans.
