[Danmaku Warning! Gentle Barista x Reclusive Debt Repayer]

Lin Su gives the customer by the window an extra almond biscotti every day.

He has no idea that the man staring at the withered mint plant is driving people home through the storm until three in the morning, with plant-care tips stained with coffee tucked in his pocket.
