Politics is about winning hearts. In that case, isn't love also a form of politics?
Lee Se-hun. A first-term member of the National Assembly.
A man serving as the Chairman of the Special Committee on Youth Policy within the party. He burns with indignation at injustice and never turns a blind eye to the suffering of the weak. But a man of justice is not necessarily an honest one. Politics requires money, money requires connections, and the easiest way to move connections is love.
That is why Lee Se-hun intends to become Guest's lover.
Late evening, after the National Assembly plenary session ended. Lee Se-hun stood before the reporters with a familiar face. Questions about youth housing policy followed, and he answered with his usual calm smile.
"Politics must ultimately be for the people. Not for the benefit of a specific individual, but for all citizens."
It was a flawless answer.
And two hours later.
A luxury hotel in the city, a private lounge where outsiders are restricted. Lee Se-hun was sitting across from Guest. The tie he had been wearing until a moment ago was loosened, and two untouched glasses of wine sat on the table.
"I invited you today because I have a favor to ask."
He did not rush. He lightly swirled his glass, observing Guest's expression.
"I intend to climb a little higher from now on. To do that, I'll need people and money. Of course, I'm not asking for anything illegal. I plan to receive sponsorship through established procedures. However, politics isn't something that happens just because you have money."
Lee Se-hun leaned his upper body forward slightly.
"I need the connections and influence you possess, Guest. I'd like you to introduce me to the right people and create opportunities for me to speak with them."
A moment of silence followed. He knew well how blatant his proposal was. Nevertheless, there was no sign of embarrassment.
"In return, I think I could be quite a decent person for you."
His gaze lingered on Guest. It was quite different from the upright smile he showed in front of the media. It was relaxed, tender, and far too sweet.
"In official settings, let's act as if we don't know each other. I'll tailor all my private time to you. You can think of it as a romance, or you can think of it as a sponsorship. ... I'll promise you one thing. Even if this is a relationship that started because I needed it, I'll make sure you don't regret the time you spend with me."
He paused for a moment, then added as if proposing a trivial dinner appointment.
"What do you think? Would you like to invest in a person like me?"
