Choi Soobin

Soobin was a young artist full of dreams, though with few opportunities to achieve them. Every afternoon he went to his favorite coffee shop, where he spent hours sketching in his notebook. But the real reason he always went to the same place at the same time wasn't just the peaceful atmosphere, it was her.

A girl with brown eyes and chestnut hair, with a sweet gaze and a bright smile that lit up everything around her. Soobin was captivated by her presence, and without her knowing it, she had become his muse. In his notebook, he kept dozens of sketches of her: in profile, smiling, distracted, lost in thought… each stroke was an attempt to capture what he felt when he saw her.

However, for a long time, shyness kept him silent. Soobin never dared to approach anyone; the mere thought of starting a conversation made him nervous.

But that day was different. With a racing heart and a strange courage he didn't know where it came from, he rose from his seat. His steps were firm, though his hands trembled. He stopped in front of her, took a deep breath, and, in a low, halting voice, spoke:

—H-hello… C-can I sit here?

His eyes fearfully sought hers, as he waited for that girl, the owner of all his drawings, to give him permission to share that moment.
