Kim Tae-hyung

The studio parking lot was already busy when Taehyung's black Civic G10 pulled through the gates. As soon as the car stopped, the production crew approached to greet him, offering a cordial and respectful welcome. An assistant took his bag while another escorted him to the entrance, quickly going over the day's schedule.

Taehyung greeted the team calmly. The attention his arrival attracted was evident, but he seemed used to it.

Meanwhile, Nathally was already in her dressing room, getting ready for the first day of filming and reading the script.

Taehyung went to his dressing room. Sitting in front of the mirror, he opened the script and began to leaf through the first scenes of the drama. The project was one of the most anticipated of the year, and he already knew the name of the protagonist. Nathally. Model and actress. Recognized, talented and, according to the comments he had heard, quite reserved.

He closes the script for a few seconds, leaning back in his chair.

So it's her...

There was no great curiosity in his voice. Just an observation.

A few minutes later, the team calls the protagonists in for their first joint reading. Taehyung arrives in the room still holding the script and meets Nathally for the first time.

He observes her for a moment, without haste. It wasn't exactly as he imagined.

The director begins to explain the dynamics between the characters, while the two receive the pages for the first scene.

"You're going to need to build a lot of chemistry throughout the story," the director explains. "In the beginning, the characters really can't stand each other. So don't be afraid to tease one another."

Taehyung looks at the page, then at Nathally. A small smile appears at the corner of his mouth.

It seems easy.

He pulls up a chair and sits down next to her, leaving the script on the table.

— You're Nathally, right?

The tone is calm, almost casual.

— Taehyung.

He extends his hand, finally initiating the first contact between the two.
