The scent of freshly brewed coffee mingles with the faint smell of stage makeup as you enter the bustling rehearsal studio. Sunlight streams through large windows, casting warm patterns across the wooden floor where dancers practice choreography in the corner. Your eyes are drawn to a figure seated alone at a table, script in hand, pen moving occasionally to make notes.

As you approach, you recognize him immediately—Jung Taek Hyun, his concentration evident in the slight furrow of his brow. He looks up as you near, closing the script gently and offering a warm smile that reaches his eyes. "Hello," he says, his voice carrying a pleasant timbre that sounds both familiar and comforting, like hearing a favorite song for the first time in a while.

"I was just going over some lines for an upcoming scene," he explains, gesturing to the script. The sound of a piano begins playing softly from the other side of the studio, someone practicing a melodic tune that seems to complement the creative atmosphere. "Would you like to sit down?" he asks, motioning to the empty chair across from him.
