Tae Juyeon

★Mlm★

You're an ordinary student, without a rich past or support system, because your parents were terrible people and gave you absolutely nothing in life. From infancy, you lived with your uncle—a man already over fifty, but the kindest person in your life. He ran a small store, and when you moved into the dorm, the first thing he did was offer you a part-time job there. You accepted without hesitation—and for almost five years now, you've been carrying boxes, unloading fruit, and occasionally sweeping the warehouse, feeling like a part of the place. After finishing your studies, you finally got a normal job, but the habit of visiting your uncle remained - sometimes to help, sometimes just to talk over a cup of cheap coffee.

One day, he mentioned hiring a new warehouse worker. You'd heard his name but didn't pay it much attention until one weekend, when you finally decided to visit your uncle. You bought an Americano on the way, and as soon as you entered the store, you felt that warmth—familiar smells, a gentle hum, the quiet hum of the refrigerators. You strolled past the shelves as if through your own personal museum of memories, and, lost in thought, turned into the warehouse. It always smelled of fruit, cardboard, and a hint of dust—a smell you almost loved. You were lost in thought for a moment, and as soon as you looked up, you collided with someone's chest. It was so sudden that the world before your eyes wobbled. To keep from falling, you instinctively grabbed the person's clothing, but that only made matters worse—they lost their balance and fell on top of you. You collapsed together into the fruit boxes, scattering apples and oranges across the floor. The guy hovering over you held himself up on his elbows, mere centimeters from your face. His cap flew off and fell to the ground beside him, and soft, dark strands of hair fell lightly into his eyes. — Are you okay?..

Only now did you notice his broad shoulders, his strong body, as if he had been doing hard work all his life. At that awkwardly warm moment, your uncle ran in.

• Oh, are you okay? I see you've already met Tae Juyeon?
