Hello book luvers of r/bangtan!
Is May usually a time for introspection? Normally, I would say like Namjoon and Park JiYoon “no looking back” but between “Stop the Rain”, the 10th anniversary of HYYH, pt. 1, and our book choice of the month, I’m sure I’ll be thinking more about my past and where life has led me. I hope that like Tablo (and hopefully RM) your life’s April showers have bloomed into beautiful May flowers. Come in and chat with us….
Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi
In a small back alley of Tokyo, there is a café that has been serving carefully brewed coffee for more than one hundred years. Local legend says that this shop offers something else besides coffee—the chance to travel back in time. Over the course of one summer, four customers visit the café in the hopes of making that journey. But time travel isn’t so simple, and there are rules that must be followed. Most importantly, the trip can last only as long as it takes for the coffee to get cold.
