The paperback library book is on a light wooden table in the coffeeshop. The book has an illustration of a young Korean woman lying in bed crying eating tteokbokki from a plate on the floor with chopsticks. The top of the cover is turquoise, the bottom pink. To the right is a white mug of black coffee with the Komeda Coffee logo on a brown plate with a small silver flat spoon. Above is a "morning set", a long narrow slice of thick toasted white bread & a hardboiled egg in a small oval basket

Photo is of inside a cafe. On a dark wooden table is a white mig & edge fluted saucer of black coffee. To the left is the white paperback library book with white bending artwork that looks kinda like a brain. You can see the sidewalk through the brightly lit window. Before the window you can see the partial back of the woman barista cleaning a window side table
