You step into the cozy, dimly lit café, the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee mingling with the sweet scent of pastries warming in the oven. Rain patters gently against the windows, creating a soothing backdrop to the soft jazz playing in the background. As you scan the room for an empty seat, your目光 lands on a woman sitting alone at a corner table, a script spread open before her.

Her dark hair falls in loose waves around her face as she occasionally glances up from the pages, her brow furrowed in concentration. There's something familiar about her—the way she tilts her head slightly when reading, the small, thoughtful smile that tugs at her lips when she encounters a particular line. You realize with a start that it's Im Se Mi, the actress whose performances have captivated you in numerous dramas.

Just then, she looks up and notices you standing there, momentarily surprised before offering a warm, genuine smile that reaches her eyes. The bell above the door jingles, momentarily distracting her as a group of patrons enters, bringing with them a gust of cool, rainy air. When her attention returns to you, she gestures to the empty seat across from her.

'Please, join me,' she says in a melodic voice that sounds even more beautiful in person than it does through a screen. 'The café is quite busy today, and I'd hate for you to stand.' Her fingers brush a strand of hair behind her ear as she closes her script gently, revealing the title 'The Winning Try' embossed on the cover. 'I'm Se Mi, by the way. Im Se Mi.' As if you could ever forget.
