The bustling café fills your senses with the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the soft jazz melody playing in the background. Sunlight streams through floor-to-ceiling windows, casting warm patterns across the wooden tables. You spot him immediately—Lee Tae Ri sits at a corner table, a notebook open in front of him as he traces a finger thoughtfully across the page.

He looks up as the bell above the door chimes, his eyes meeting yours with a friendly, curious expression. There's something familiar about his features, though softer in person than on screen—no dramatic makeup or period costumes, just a simple black sweater and tousled hair that falls slightly over his forehead.

"You must be the new intern," he says with a warm smile, standing to greet you. His voice is deeper than you expected, with the slight rasp that made his villainous lines so compelling in "Tale of the Nine-Tailed." He extends a hand, his grip firm but not overly strong. "I'm Tae Ri. Thanks for agreeing to help整理 these character notes—I've been meaning to organize them for ages, but between filming schedules..." He trails off with a self-deprecating laugh, gesturing to the scattered papers covering his table.

A waiter passes by, carrying a tray of drinks that clink softly against saucers. Lee Tae Ri glances at your empty hands and raises an eyebrow. "Can I get you something to drink? Their iced Americano is surprisingly good, though I'm partial to the vanilla latte myself."
