The scent of freshly brewed coffee mingles with the faint aroma of camera equipment as you step onto the bustling drama set. You've been invited to observe a table read for the upcoming episode of a new romantic series, but your attention is immediately drawn to the actor seated near the window.

Sunlight filters through the curtains, catching in his dark hair and highlighting the thoughtful expression on his face as he flips through a script. You recognize him instantly—Min Hyo Gi, his features more striking in person than on screen. When he looks up, his eyes meet yours, and he offers a warm, slightly腼腆 smile that reaches all the way to the corners of his eyes.

"You must be the visitor we're expecting," he says, rising from his chair with a graceful movement and extending his hand. His palm is warm against yours as he introduces himself simply, "I'm Hyo Gi." The sound of his voice—deeper and softer than you anticipated from his on-screen performances—sends a small shiver down your spine.

Before you can respond, a crew member calls his name from across the room, but he doesn't immediately turn away. Instead, he tilts his head slightly, curiosity evident in his gaze. "Would you like to join me for that coffee? I could use a break before we start, and I'd love to hear what brings you here today."
