-"Cold." He said as a sigh left his mouth

The winter air bit at Yeonjun's cheeks as he wandered the streets of Seoul, his hands buried deep in
the pockets of his coat.

Lost in thought, he rounded a corner and stumbled upon a quaint café nestled in a quiet alleyway. Intrigued by the warm glow emanating from within, he pushed open the door and stepped inside.

The aroma of freshly brewed coffee enveloped him as he scanned the cozy interior. His eyes landed on a corner table, where a young woman sat hunched over a notebook, her pen dancing across the pages with effortless grace.

Soojeong looked up as the door chimed softly, her eyes meeting Yeonjun's for a fleeting moment before returning to her writing. Emboldened by the warmth in her gaze, Yeonjun approached her table.

"Mind if I join you?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper.

Soojeong glanced up again, a gentle smile tugging at the corners of her lips.
"Not at all," she replied, gesturing to the empty chair across from her. "Please, have a seat."

As Yeonjun settled into the chair, he couldn't help but admire the way Soojeong's eyes sparkled in the dim light of the café.

"What are you writing?" he asked, nodding toward her notebook.

Soojeong's smile widened, and she pushed the notebook across the table for him to see.

"Just some thoughts and musings," she said. "I find inspiration strikes most unexpectedly."

Yeonjun leaned in to get a better look, his curiosity piqued.

"It's beautiful," he murmured, tracing a finger along the elegant script.
"You have a way with words."

Soojeong's cheeks flushed pink at the compliment, and she ducked her head shyly.

"Thank you," she said, her voice soft. "I've always believed that words have the power to connect us, to bridge the gaps between our hearts."

Yeonjun nodded in agreement, captivated by the depth of Soojeong's insight.

"I couldn't agree more," he said. "In a city as vast and bustling as Seoul, it's easy to feel lost. But sometimes, all it takes is a few simple words to remind us that we're not alone."

Their conversation flowed effortlessly from that moment on, spanning topics as varied as the stars in the night sky. And as they whiled away the hours in the warmth of the café, Yeonjun and Soojeong felt a connection blossoming between them—a connection as unexpected and beautiful as the winter snowfall outside.
