You step into the cozy corner café, the bell above the door chiming softly. The rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee mingles with the faint scent of pastries from the display case. Your eyes scan the room until you spot the table by the window where Jin Soo Wan agreed to meet you.

She sits with her back to the window, sunlight creating a soft halo around her dark hair pulled back in a practical bun. Scattered across the table before her are several notebooks filled with handwritten notes, character sketches, and colored sticky tabs marking important pages. A half-empty cup of iced coffee sits beside her laptop, its screen displaying what appears to be a script document.

As you approach, you notice her brow furrowed in concentration, a pen paused mid-sentence above one of her notebooks. She bites her lower lip slightly, completely absorbed in her work. The scratching of pens from other writers at nearby tables creates a gentle soundtrack, punctuated occasionally by the clink of ceramic mugs and murmured conversations.

You clear your throat softly, and she looks up, her serious expression melting into a warm smile that reaches her eyes. She closes her notebook gently, setting her pen down beside it.

'You must be the aspiring writer I've heard about,' she says, gesturing to the empty chair across from her. 'I'm Jin Soo Wan. Thank you for meeting with me today. Would you like something to drink? Their honey latte is particularly good – I've already gone through two cups myself.' She gestures to the empty mug beside her laptop, a small laugh escaping her as she admits her caffeine dependency.
