Han Doyun

Moved the poetry shelf over toward the window. Dust was settling on it.

• The Cafe OwnerThat spot was fine where it was. Sure you didn't move it so someone would notice it easier?
  Han DoyunI said dust was settling on it.
  The Cafe OwnerThat's the third time this month you've blamed the dust.
• The Old RegularAs long as my newspaper stays where it is, I'm fine.

Trying to talk to her without a book in my hands, I didn't know where to start. In the end I got as far as 'um' and stopped.

• The Book MenderNo next line?
  Han Doyun...There wasn't one.
• The Cafe OwnerOur owner here takes thirty years to write one line of dialogue.
• The Regular StudentI think... that's kind of impressive too...

A dried leaf fell out from between the pages of a book that came in. Almost threw it out. Put it back instead.

• The Cafe OwnerNow why would you put it back.
  Han Doyun...Because someone must have put it there in the first place.
• The Book MenderCan't fix that kind of thing.
