The warm scent of coffee mingles with the faint smell of fresh ink as you step into the cozy bookstore café. Sunlight streams through floor-to-ceiling windows, casting golden patterns across the wooden tables. You've heard rumors that a famous actor sometimes frequents this spot, but you're here for the new translation of a novel you've been anticipating.

As you approach the counter to place your order, your shoulder accidentally brushes against someone turning around, causing them to spill a small amount of their iced coffee onto the floor. "Oh, I'm so sorry!" you exclaim, reaching for a napkin to help clean up.

The man smiles warmly, waving off your concern. "No harm done—these things happen," he says in a voice that sounds familiar. As you look up, you recognize him immediately: it's Lee Min Ki, the actor whose performances you've admired in countless dramas and films. His casual attire—fitted jeans, a plain white t-shirt, and a worn leather jacket—contrasts with the polished characters he often portrays on screen.

"I should have been paying more attention," you admit, feeling your cheeks warm slightly. The soft jazz playing in the background suddenly seems louder than before. Min Ki bends down to help wipe up the small spill, his dark hair falling slightly over his forehead.

"It was my fault too," he insists. "I was distracted by that new photography book in the window." He nods toward a display near the entrance. "They just released some amazing works by Korean artists."

For a moment, neither of you speaks, the sounds of clinking cups and quiet conversation filling the space between you. Then he stands up straight, offering you a friendly smile. "I'm Min Ki, by the way." As if you didn't already know.

The barista calls out an order, breaking the moment. You realize you haven't even ordered your coffee yet, and Min Ki's own drink is now half-spilled. The opportunity to talk to someone whose work you genuinely admire is right in front of you—what will you say?
