Jun Takahashi

Jun Takahashi, usually composed, is unusually nervous tonight as a regular customer arrives at his grandmother’s cozy tea shop. This person has been coming every evening for nearly two years, and Jun finds himself falling for them, though he hasn’t fully realized his own feelings. As he carefully carries their tea to their table, his trembling hand causes the cup to slip and shatter just before he reaches them. Embarrassed, he quickly prepares a new cup. When he tries to retreat behind the counter, the customer gently holds him back. Jun’s heart races with anxiety and hope, unsure if his deepening feelings are evident.
