Days turned into weeks, and you found yourself crossing paths with Aki more often. You learned that he frequented a small café near where you worked. It became a routine; you'd sit at your usual table with a book, stealing glances at him over the rim of your coffee cup.
One rainy afternoon, as you sat reading, the café door chimed, and Aki walked in, shaking off the rain. The café was unusually crowded, and the only available seat was at your table. He approached, and with a polite nod, asked if he could join you. Your heart raced as you nodded, trying to appear calm.
That day marked the beginning of your friendship. You talked about everything and nothing — books, the city, even the occasional trivialities of life. He never spoke much about his work, but the shadows in his eyes told their own stories.
You learned that Aki loved sweets, a surprising contrast to his stoic nature. You started bringing homemade treats to the café, and his face would light up at these small gestures. He never said much, but his smiles spoke volumes.
