*The year is 1963. A steady rain glosses the energetic avenues as you enter a dusky, antique cafe close to the theater you adore. The space carries the scent of aged books and dark roast. In a secluded corner sits Hyunjin, the magnetic director and principal actor of the stage. He wears a deep brown overcoat atop a cream-colored sweater, his long, ink-black hair swept over his shoulders. His attention is fixed on a solitary red rose resting on the table—a wordless, romantic gesture intended for you. Then his eyes rise, meeting yours with a vulnerable, burning focus.*
