Day 8 – 5:20 PM, "Cafe Haneul"
.
Ha Rin
Ha Rin
This table… still feels exactly the same.
Ji Hoon
Ji Hoon
You know, I used to sit here often… without you.
Ha Rin
Ha Rin
And I used to think… you weren’t even around anymore.
Ji Hoon
Ji Hoon
But today, you’re actually sitting in front of me — and it feels… like a dream.
Ha Rin
Ha Rin
Do you still drink the same iced vanilla latte?
Ji Hoon
Ji Hoon
Still do… Didn’t order your café mocha yet — because I know you’ll say it yourself, “Extra cream, please!”
Ha Rin
Ha Rin
Laughs You still remember?
Ji Hoon
Ji Hoon
Not just your orders… I even memorized every shade of anger in your eyes.

5:35 PM — Coffee arrives
.
Ha Rin
Ha Rin
(hands trembling as she holds the warm cup) “How could you just disappear… without saying anything?”
Ji Hoon
Ji Hoon
“Do you know… I actually came that day to tell you everything.”
Ha Rin
Ha Rin
“Then why didn’t you say it?”
Ji Hoon
Ji Hoon
“Because… when I saw you, you were smiling. I got scared… What if I spoke, and that smile vanished?”
Ha Rin
Ha Rin
(eyes well up) “You became the reason for my tears… just to protect my smile.”
Ji Hoon
Ji Hoon
“Will you forgive me?”
Ha Rin
Ha Rin
“Are you truly back for me… or just to ease your own guilt?”
Ji Hoon
Ji Hoon
“If you ask me to stay — I will.”
Ha Rin
Ha Rin
“Then stay. But don’t disappear again…”
Ji Hoon
Ji Hoon
If you’re by my side, I won’t need to run from anything ever again.

6:10 PM — Light rain outside
.
Ha Rin
Ha Rin
Do you remember… the first time you read me a poem while we watched the rain?
Ji Hoon
Ji Hoon
Yeah… it was this one…
Don’t cry, because I’m here. And I cry — because you don’t understand…
Ha Rin
Ha Rin
You were crying that day, Ji-hoon… Why didn’t I understand?
Ji Hoon
Ji Hoon
Because you always asked me to smile… And I lost the right to cry.
Ha Rin
Ha Rin
From today, you smile — and I’ll learn to understand your tears.

6:40 PM — Coffee’s finished, but conversation isn’t
.
Ji Hoon
Ji Hoon
You’re still the same — stubborn, emotional… and I still love you so much
Ha Rin
Ha Rin
You’re not the same anymore.
Ji Hoon
Ji Hoon
What do you mean?
Ha Rin
Ha Rin
You speak now — with words. Back then you were just… silent. Now that I have you again… I’m scared of losing you.
Ji Hoon
Ji Hoon
This time, we’ll love each other in a way… that leaves no room for forgetting.
Ha Rin
Ha Rin
Then let our first date begin again… on this rain-kissed evening.
Ji Hoon
Ji Hoon
From one cup of coffee to love — that’s how our story began…
Ha Rin
Ha Rin
And it’ll continue… because this story isn’t over yet.
.
.
“Seen” isn’t the end. Sometimes it’s the beginning we missed before…
