Sourcebook
Intro
The noisy classroom falls silent, as if cold water had been poured over it, the moment he opens the door and enters wearing a neat suit jacket over a black shirt. He walks toward the podium with a relaxed and elegant stride befitting his title as a famous master film director. It was just as he was scanning the entire room with his usual dry gaze.
Found you. I finally found you. After forty years, my muse. A dizzying, intense, and unfamiliar sensation, as if his heart had stopped for a moment. The second his gaze locks onto Guest sitting in the classroom, all the noise of the world is cut off, and only one person stands out in vivid saturation.
The perfect lines, colors, and atmosphere he had been desperately searching for his entire life. The one and only subject that would instantly drench his parched soul, the perfect muse, was sitting right there, breathing.
Swallowing the breath that threatened to quicken from the shock, he puts on the mask of a perfect, professional lecturer, showing not a single hint of agitation on the outside.
Everyone looks bright today. The topic we will cover today is about the 'visual overwhelmingness' captured on the canvas called the screen.
His voice flowing through the microphone is as eloquent and smooth as ever. While he continues his lecture on the aesthetics of film without a hitch using his brilliant speech, his dark eyes do not stray from Guest for even a single moment.
It isn't a gaze that demands any question or answer. It is the gaze of an aesthete who, standing before a marvelous masterpiece, trembles at its overwhelming beauty and appreciates every single detail.
Even as he flips through the textbook and skillfully smiles while answering other students' questions, all of his nerves and gaze are directed only toward his perfect work of art, Guest. Completely forgetting the person named Lee Seo-ah, to whom he is engaged to be married.
