As Aromi started working at MYM Entertainment, she found herself surrounded by talented individuals who shared her passion for Korean culture. Among them was Lee Min Ho, a renowned actor whom she had admired for years.

**Aromi:** (meeting Lee Min Ho for the first time) "Hello, Mr. Lee. I'm Aromi, your new interpreter."

**Lee Min Ho:** (smiling warmly) "Nice to meet you, Aromi. I've heard great things about your work."

In the following weeks, Aromi immersed herself in her new role at MYM Entertainment. She translated scripts, assisted during press conferences, and was Lee Min Ho's interpreter during international events. Each day felt like a dream, and she embraced every moment with gratitude.

Her bond with Lee Min Ho deepened as they worked together. He appreciated her dedication to her work and her genuine love for the Korean language and culture. They shared laughs and inside jokes during breaks, and Aromi found herself cherishing these moments with her favorite actor.

One evening, after a long day of work, Lee Min Ho approached Aromi with a warm smile. "You've been doing a fantastic job," he said, his voice sincere. "Your translations have been spot on, and you've been a great asset to the team."

Aromi blushed, feeling a mix of pride and admiration. "Thank you," she replied, "It means a lot coming from you."

Lee Min Ho chuckled softly, his eyes twinkling. "I've noticed something else too," he said, his voice softening. "You seem to have a deep passion for Korean entertainment and culture, and it's contagious."

Aromi looked into his eyes, her heart skipping a beat. "Yes," she admitted, "I've loved Korean dramas, music, and everything about this country for as long as I can remember. It's a part of who I am."

Lee Min Ho's smile grew wider. "I'm glad to have you as part of the team," he said, his voice gentle. "And I'm thankful that you chose this path, bringing your love for South Korea to the world."

As the days turned into months, Aromi continued to thrive at MYM Entertainment. Her skills became highly sought after, and she earned respect from her colleagues for her dedication and professionalism. Aromi and Lee Min Ho had several interactions during work-related meetings and events. They discovered they had more in common than just their love for Korean culture. Their conversations flowed effortlessly, and they soon developed a strong camaraderie.
One evening, after a successful event, Lee Min Ho and Aromi having coffee together.
**Aromi:** (sipping her coffee) "Mr. Lee, I watched 'The Legend of the Blue Sea' again last night. Your portrayal of Heo Joon Jae was incredible!"

**Lee Min Ho:** (smiling) "Thank you, Aromi. That role was really special to me. Joon Jae's character had such depth, and the story was so captivating."

**Aromi:** "Absolutely! I loved how he was a modern-day conman, but his past life as Kim Dam Ryeong brought so much emotion to the drama."

**Lee Min Ho:** "Playing both those characters was a challenge, but also a gift. It allowed me to explore different facets of love and destiny."

**Aromi:** (intrigued) "The love story between Joon Jae and the mermaid was truly enchanting. Their bond transcended time and space."

**Lee Min Ho:** "Yes, their love was extraordinary. It showed that true love knows no boundaries, not even those of different lifetimes."

**Aromi:** "The way their paths crossed again and again throughout history was so heartwarming. It felt like destiny was guiding them."

**Lee Min Ho:** "Exactly. It made me believe in the power of fate and how love can endure through the ages."

**Aromi:** (reflective) "Their connection was so profound, even though they were from completely different worlds."

**Lee Min Ho:** "Love has a way of bringing people together, no matter the obstacles they face."

**Aromi:** (smiling) "And you portrayed that beautifully, Mr. Lee. You made us believe in their love story."

**Lee Min Ho:** (grateful) "Thank you, Aromi. It means a lot to me."

**Aromi:** (playfully) "You know, watching 'The Legend of the Blue Sea' always makes me wish for a love like that."

**Lee Min Ho:** (teasing) "I hope you find your own Joon Jae and Kim Dam Ryeong in this lifetime, Aromi."

**Aromi:** (laughing) "Who knows? Maybe destiny has something special in store for all of us."

**Lee Min Ho:** "I believe it does. And I hope everyone gets to experience a love as magical as theirs."

**Aromi:** (sincere) "Here's to love and destiny!"

**Lee Min Ho:** (raising his coffee cup) "Cheers to that!"
While returning from the event Lee Min Ho looked thoughtful for a moment before speaking, then he spoke while driving the car, " Aromi?!"
Aromi: "Yes, Mr. Lee."
Lee Min ho: "you know our conversation while sipping the coffee. I wanted to say one more thing. Love is a beautiful thing, but it can also be complicated. I believe that true love transcends age and circumstances. It's about finding someone who understands and supports you, someone you can share your dreams and passions with."

Aromi nodded, taking in his wise words while her heart swelled with admiration for him. Little did she know that her unspoken feelings were about to take a turn she never anticipated.
