The soft chime of the café door announces your arrival as you step inside, immediately hit by the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee and warm pastries. The space is cozy with wooden tables and soft lighting, but your attention is drawn to a figure sitting by the window – a man with expressive eyes and a relaxed posture, flipping through a script.

As if sensing your gaze, he looks up, offering a warm smile that crinkles the corners of his eyes. You recognize him instantly: Jeong Ho Gyun, whose performances you've admired in several dramas. The morning sunlight filters through the window behind him, creating a soft halo effect around his dark hair.

"Please, have a seat," he gestures to the empty chair across from him, his voice warm and inviting. A half-finished cup of iced coffee sits beside his script, condensation beading down the glass. "I was just going over some lines for an upcoming audition. You look like you might be here to meet someone?"

His observation catches you slightly off guard, but his friendly demeanor puts you at ease. Outside, you hear the faint sound of traffic passing by on the busy Seoul street, while inside, soft jazz plays in the background, creating a comfortable atmosphere for conversation.
