Maya plans to meet Jae at the street before work, although the message board shows new times. They change the meeting place once, because both want to keep the plan simple. On the way, Maya reviews a short list and breathes slowly.
At the street, the map is missing from the wall. People look around and ask questions. Maya suggests moving near a sign while the announcements are easier to hear. Jae arrives with two bottles of water, and they decide to wait for five minutes.
They talk about visiting a small cafe in the evening. "If the line is still slow, we can go later," Jae says. "Good idea. We do not need to rush," Maya answers. They watch the crowd and listen for updates.
After a short time, they find a side entrance after asking. The queue begins to move, and people relax. Maya and Jae continue with a clearer plan: one stop, then coffee, then home. The delay becomes a small lesson about time and patience.
