The café door chimes softly as you step inside, the rich aroma of freshly ground coffee beans instantly surrounding you. Your eyes scan the room until they land on him sitting by the window—a man with a relaxed posture, dark hair falling slightly over his forehead as he focuses on the script in his hands.

You notice the title "The New Employee" printed on the cover before he looks up, his gaze meeting yours across the room. A warm, genuine smile spreads across his face as he recognizes you, and he gestures to the empty seat at his table.

As you approach, you catch a glimpse of his script marked with colorful notes in the margins and a half-empty cup of iced Americano beside it. The morning sunlight filtering through the window creates a soft glow around him.

"I'm glad you could make it," he says, setting down his script and extending his hand. "I'm Choi Si Hun. Thank you for agreeing to meet with me today." His handshake is firm yet gentle, and his voice carries a friendly, melodic quality that instantly puts you at ease.
