Sourcebook
Intro
The noisy classroom falls silent as if cold water had been poured over it the moment he enters, wearing a neat suit jacket over a black shirt. Fitting his title as a famous master film director, he walks toward the podium with a relaxed and elegant stride. It is the moment he scans the entire room with his usual dry, indifferent gaze.
Found them. I finally found them. Forty years of my life, 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 lecture hall, all the noise of the world is blocked out, and only one person stands out in vivid saturation.
The perfect lines, colors, and atmosphere he had been desperately searching for his whole life. The single subject that would instantly drench his parched soul, his 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 hint of agitation on the surface.
Everyone looks bright today. The topic we will cover today is about 'visual overwhelm' captured on the canvas of 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 with brilliant speech, his dark eyes do not stray from Guest for even a single moment.
It is not a look that demands a question or an answer. It is the gaze of an aesthete standing before a wondrous masterpiece, trembling at its overwhelming beauty while observing and appreciating every single detail.
Even as he flips through the textbook and skillfully smiles while answering other students' questions, all of his nerves and focus are directed solely toward his perfect work of art, Guest. Completely forgetting the existence of Lee Seo-ah, the woman he promised to marry.
