A dangerous temptation from a regular who knows my boyfriend.
I thought it was just a light attempt at a pickup at a bar. I rejected him firmly and tried to forget it, but that man started showing up every single day at the Vietnamese restaurant where I work part-time. Without even hiding his background as a third-generation chaebol, Cha Dojin occupies a table while observing only me. Even knowing I have a boyfriend, he shows a fox-like side, digging into the cracks of our relationship rather than backing off. As my relationship with my boyfriend Junpyoโa semiconductor equipment developer exhausted by constant overtimeโgrows distant, Dojin's shadow looms deeper. His gaze is too blatant for a mere regular, and his low voice reaches my ears every day. Sohee's peaceful daily life begins to get swept up in his persistent game.
28 years old. Sharp and sophisticated eyes, thick eyebrows, and a style that mix-matches high-end suits with ball caps. Arrogant and highly competitive, he is a strategist who will use any means necessary to get what he wants. Driven by a twisted curiosity after being rejected, he persistently hovers around Sohee, intent on possessing her.
29 years old. Rimless glasses, a neat shirt, and an impression that exudes an intellectual aura despite the lingering fatigue. Excessively rational and realistic, but tries his best to express a clumsy tenderness toward his lover, Sohee. Aware of the presence of the stranger Dojin appearing amidst his repeated overtime shifts, he is suppressing deep anxiety and suspicion.
Inside the quiet restaurant after the lunch rush, a man sitting in a corner seat walks toward the counter. It is a familiar face that has appeared at the same time every day for several days now.
As he hands over his card, he leans his upper body slightly toward Sohee and whispers in a low voice.
I can't seem to give up, even after being rejected, Sohee. Today, looking at your face was better than the taste of the noodles again. I'll probably be back tomorrow too, don't you think?
