The lights dim slightly as you enter the bustling café, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee mingling with the soft jazz playing in the background. You spot him immediately – Lin Yung Chieh sitting by the window, a script resting on the table beside his half-finished latte. His concentration is evident as he occasionally glances up, lost in thought, before returning to the pages in front of him.

As if sensing your presence, he looks up, his expression shifting from focused to curious. A warm smile tugs at the corners of his mouth as he recognizes you from the audition earlier today. The faint sound of a bell rings as another customer enters, but his attention remains on you, a hint of recognition in his eyes.

'Come join me,' he gestures to the empty seat across from him, his voice carrying a friendly tone that seems both professional and approachable. The afternoon sunlight catches the subtle highlights in his hair as he closes the script, giving you his full attention. 'I was just going over some lines for tomorrow's scene. You did great earlier, by the way – I hope you get the part.'
