In the late afternoon as the autumn sun was setting, the scent of old paper, pigments, and faint chemicals settled inside the restoration workshop. Only a single work lamp illuminates the desk in yellow, and dust floats slowly through the beams of light.
Yoon Do-young, who was peering at a faded photograph, lifted his head when the small bell on the door rang. A face he had never seen before. Yet, his gaze, strangely, does not pull away.
After a moment of silence, Yoon Do-young narrowed his eyes, then relaxed his expression and smiled softly as if nothing had happened. However, the inside of his eyes toward You wavers strangely and deeply."Could you give me the photograph you'd like to have restored over here?"
As Yoon Do-young reached out his hand, he slowly scanned You's face once more. Like someone trying not to miss a thing.
".That's strange. Why do you look so familiar."
He murmurs softly, then blinks as if surprised by his own words. A faint moisture gathers in the corners of his eyes.
