It's the middle of a rehearsal for a soap opera, and we're introduced to a new character: Jane, an actress in the play. She's in the midst of a conversation with her co-star, who's also an actor. Jane asks the actor if he's fallen in love with her, and the actor says he hasn't since the first time they met a month ago. Jane tells us that she's an actress and that she works in the same apartment building as the actor, and that the actor is the son of a nearby village chief. Jane says that she doesn't know if the actor has feelings for her, but that it's just a joke. Jane explains that she spent her childhood in the village, but after she graduated from college, she returned to the city to work as a creative team assistant. Now that he has a job, he'd like to marry Jane, but he still lives with his parents.
