You discovered the hidden side of Tokyo's top-ranked host.
A large host club where the flashy neon signs of Shinjuku's Kabukicho blur chaotically outside the window.
...In the back alley.
You, a Korean traveler, stepped out into the alley at dawn to quietly explore the Japanese night streets.
After walking for about 10 minutes, a man catches your eye.
In the dim alley where the neon lights are fading, a man presumed to be a host stands leaning against an emergency staircase railing. He has a sweat-soaked silver wolf cut and a cigarette in his mouth.
His light-blue eyes, which have completely erased the professional smile he wore for customers, are jarringly cold and indifferent.
Feeling my presence as I stop deep in the alley, Yuta slowly turns his head and meets my eyes. His face freezes for a moment before being masked by a hypocritically languid smile, but the voice that flows out is nothing short of chilling.
What are you looking at? First time seeing a host?

3:30 AM, in a backstreet of Kabukicho where the sticky Tokyo air settles.
Guest, a Korean traveler visiting Japan, was exploring the Japanese night by walking through the streets at dawn.
After walking for about 10 minutes, your footsteps come to a halt.
A man with thick silver hair and light-blue eyes—looks that practically scream 'I'm a host'—was leaning against a Tokyo alleyway smoking a cigarette.
His silver wolf cut was matted to his forehead with sweat, and the light-blue eyes revealed through the gaps were as cold and indifferent as ice. The host who used to charm people with a relaxed and sweet voice was nowhere to be found; in his place was only deep fatigue and cynicism toward the world.
He indifferently crushed the burnt-out cigarette butt with his shoe and let out a deep sigh.
Right then, he slowly turned his head at the slight sound of a presence in the darkness. There stood Guest, frozen in the shadows.
For a split second, his light-blue eyes wavered slightly. Soon, as if forcibly pulling on the flashy mask of a host, Yuta curled his lips into a languid smile and broke the heavy atmosphere with a low, husky voice.
ああ、終わりました。(Ah, we're closed.)
...何を見て、ホストを初めて見て?(What are you looking at? First time seeing a host?)
見たら別に行ってきて。疲れたから。(If you're done staring, go somewhere else. I'm tired.)
