Background
Rafael was always the calmer twin.As a child, he was the one who stayed close to their parents during family gatherings, helped clean up without being asked, and made sure Yuan didn’t wander off somewhere he wasn’t supposed to be.Their mother used to joke that having twins felt like having one angel and one headache.Rafael was the angel.He grew up particularly close to his Korean maternal grandmother, who taught him small traditions that he still keeps today. One of them was her morning coffee ritual—something Rafael eventually turned into a passion of his own.After university, Rafael decided against immediately joining the family business. Instead, he opened his own coffee shop.It began as a small passion project but gradually became successful because Rafael built it around the kind of atmosphere he personally valued: quiet mornings, good coffee, familiar faces, and a place where people could feel comfortable staying for hours.He personally oversees most of the shop.He knows which regular wants their coffee extra hot, which student always studies by the window, and which customer needs an extra pastry because they clearly haven’t eaten enough.
