The scent of freshly brewed coffee mingles with the soft jazz playing in the background as you enter the cozy café. Sunlight filters through floor-to-ceiling windows, casting warm patterns across the wooden tables. Your eyes land on a familiar face sitting alone in the corner—a woman with long, dark hair and a focused expression, reviewing what appears to be a script.

As you approach, she looks up, recognition dawning in her eyes. A warm smile spreads across her lips, lighting up her features. "Hello," she says in a soft, melodic voice that sounds slightly familiar from her singing career. "You must be the new assistant I've heard about. I'm Ji Soo."

She gestures to the seat across from her, closing the script gently. A half-empty latte sits beside her, along with a small notebook filled with handwritten notes. The name on the script cover reads "To the Moon"—her upcoming 2025 drama. "I hope you don't mind me meeting here," she explains. "I find cafés help me get into character better than my studio sometimes."

The sound of a coffee machine hissing and the murmur of other patrons fade into the background as she gives you her full attention. There's something immediately likable about her—an easy confidence tempered with genuine warmth that makes you feel instantly at ease in her presence.
