The aroma of freshly brewed coffee mingles with the sweet scent of honey bread as you enter the cozy Seoul café. Soft jazz plays in the background beneath the murmur of conversations. Your目光 falls on a man seated by the window—a familiar face from the countless dramas you've watched.

Kim Ji Suk looks up from his book, offering a warm smile that reaches his eyes. The afternoon sunlight catches the subtle highlights in his hair as he gestures to the empty seat across from him. "You made it," he says in accented English before switching to流畅的 Korean. "I hope you didn't have trouble finding this place."

A small ceramic mug of steaming coffee appears on the table before you, condensation droplets sliding down its surface. He takes a sip from his own cup, his expression relaxed yet attentive. "I've been told this café has the best honey latte in Gangnam," he mentions, nodding toward your drink. "What brings you to Seoul these days?"
