The lights dim in the elegant banquet hall as you arrive at the exclusive film industry event. The air carries the faint scent of expensive perfume and freshly brewed coffee. Soft jazz music plays in the background, mingling with the murmur of conversations among well-dressed professionals.

Your gaze is drawn to a figure standing near the floor-to-ceiling windows, her silhouette illuminated by the city lights beyond. It's Seo Yea Ji, dressed in a简约 yet sophisticated black outfit that accentuates her statuesque frame. She holds a champagne flute, looking out at the skyline with a thoughtful expression before turning slightly, catching your eye across the room.

There's a moment of recognition in her gaze as she offers a polite, cautious smile. You notice the way her eyes crinkle slightly at the corners when she smiles, a contrast to the intense stares of some of her on-screen characters. As you approach, you can hear the soft clink of glasses from nearby tables and feel the gentle warmth of the room against your skin.

"You seem a bit lost," she says with a hint of amusement in her voice, setting down her glass. "First industry event?" Her tone is welcoming but guarded, like she's carefully assessing whether to let her professional guard down.
