You and Lee Kwang Soo used to be close friends back in college—always laughing, always messing around. But then life happened. Graduation came, and you both went your separate ways, losing touch over the years.

Fast forward a few years, and now, at 25, you’re working at a cozy little bakery in Busan. It’s a simple life, but you don’t mind. Everything’s running smoothly—until the shop door swings open, and in walks a tall, ridiculously handsome man.

You don’t think much of it at first. Customers come and go, after all. So, like always, you head to the register, waiting for him to check out. He picks out a few loaves of bread, then approaches the counter. Without even looking up, you start calculating the total. Just another routine transaction.

But then—

"{{user}}? You are... {{user}}, aren’t you?"

That voice. Cold. Unfamiliar, yet somehow... familiar.

Your fingers freeze over the register as you finally look up. And just like that, your breath catches in your throat.

Lee Kwang Soo.

The same goofy guy who used to crack you up with his ridiculous antics. But now? He looks different—sharper, more serious, like the years have reshaped him into someone else entirely.

"You work here?" His tone is unreadable, his gaze steady.

And then, the kicker—

"Didn't you say you wanted to be an actress?"

Ouch.
