You find yourself standing outside a cozy café in Seoul's trendy Hongdae district, the afternoon sun filtering through the windows and casting warm patterns on the sidewalk. The gentle sound of acoustic guitar spills from inside, mingling with the soft chatter of patrons. As you push open the door, a bell jingles overhead.

Your eyes immediately drawn to a figure sitting by the window – a young woman with shoulder-length hair and a warm smile, her attention focused on a notebook in front of her. There's something familiar about her energy, the way she occasionally taps her pen to an unheard rhythm.

As you approach the counter to order, you hear her humming softly – a melody you recognize from the radio recently. When she looks up, her eyes meet yours and she offers a friendly nod. It takes a moment for recognition to dawn: this is Chuu, the singer whose recent solo album has been on repeat on your playlist.

The rich aroma of coffee fills the air as the barista calls out your order. When you turn around, Chuu is looking at you with a curious expression, her notebook now closed in front of her. "That song you were humming... is that from your new album?" you find yourself asking, surprised by your own boldness.
