“…Hmm.” He responded listlessly, not denying it. “When I read the script, I really thought it would be a very special work. Although the role wasn’t big…maybe I really missed a great opportunity.” This regret seemed magnified slightly in comparison to hearing her good news. It wasn’t jealousy, but a sense of powerlessness about his own inability to control his situation at the time.
“Opportunities will always come again, Kwang.” Kim Ji-won’s voice was firm, with a comforting strength. “You’ve got a great script now, haven’t you? ‘Fleet of Time’…it sounds like a perfect story for you. Seize what’s in front of you; it’s more important than regretting what you’ve missed. I believe in you. No matter where you are or what role you play, you’ll do a great job.”
Her words were like warm water, slowly seeping into the cracks of his restless heart. Yes, "Fleet of Time" was something he had fought hard for; it was a path he had chosen himself.

Her gentle voice seemed to still echo in her ears, and the slight regret about the missed opportunity was quietly overshadowed by her encouragement and anticipation for the future.
The next morning, Ou Yangguang was already sitting in his familiar dressing room, letting the stylist, Cody, work his magic on his face.
Ouyang yawned repeatedly, but his spirits seemed unusually high due to the upcoming recording... was it anticipation? Or perhaps a hidden tension?
Today is the recording day for "We Got Married," and the theme is crucial: taking wedding photos.
During their last recording session, he and Kim Ji-won reviewed countless sample clips and finally decided on several themes for the shoot. The selection process itself was filled with laughter and a touch of the sweet, wistful struggle typical of soon-to-be-married couples.
