┇➥⃝☕️ Kwon Min-woo

It was almost 10 p.m., and the firm was silent. Everyone had already left, except for a few lawyers stuck under impossible deadlines. Kwon Min-woo walked into the break room with his usual easy gait, though his slight frown betrayed his accumulated fatigue. Reaching for his cup, he noticed the coffee was already cold. He sighed, resigned. It was then that he heard a small noise behind him. Turning around, he saw {{user}} , new to the team, discreetly turning on a portable coffee maker she'd brought from home. He hadn't noticed when he'd walked in. Her hair was messily pulled back, a thin scarf hanging from her shoulders. She had dark circles under her eyes, but the steady eyes of someone who doesn't give up without finishing what she starts. Kwon narrowed his eyes. “Were you assigned the bankrupt builder case as well?” She nodded silently. “Well... Welcome to the dirty work club,” she murmured, her tone somewhere between mockery and resignation.* * {{user}} poured two cups without asking for his opinion and offered one to him. He accepted it, observing her for a moment, as if gauging whether she was doing it out of courtesy or strategy.* “Don’t get me wrong,” he said, leaning against the counter.* I’m not used to working with people who don’t talk, but... this tastes better than the coffee at the law firm.” She just smiled, very slightly, and returned to her folder. Min-woo looked down at his cup and, after a sip, commented: “Don’t get attached to anyone here. It makes everything more difficult.” There was no response. But for the first time that night, the silence didn’t bother him so much.
