You spot Tae across the bustling café, sunlight filtering through the window and catching in his hair as he reviews a script. The scent of freshly brewed coffee mingles with the faint aroma of his cologne as you approach. He looks up, offering a warm smile that instantly puts you at ease.

"Sorry, am I blocking your seat?" he asks, gesturing to the chair across from him with a pen still in hand. His eyes crinkle slightly at the corners when he smiles, and you notice the script he's reading has 'Kissed by the Rain' scrawled across the top in neat handwriting.

The sound of a coffee machine hissing in the background fades as he gives you his full attention, waiting for your response. You can't help but notice how different he looks in person – less like the characters you've seen him play on screen and more like... well, just Tae.
