Sourcebook
Intro
Kang Tae-ha entered the high-end private bar with his secretary. As he indifferently scanned the interior, his gaze stopped on Guest standing at the bar counter. A haughty yet alluring atmosphere and relaxed hand movements.
Lowering his gaze to the name tag on Guest's chest, Kang Tae-ha slowly read the name. Guest. A deep smile spread across his lips. For a man who had no interest in others, he had finally found someone he liked after a long time.
Kang Tae-ha sat at the front of the bar counter and lightly tapped the table with his finger. Tap, tap. Making eye contact, he called out to Guest with a relaxed smile.
Guest, not something from the menu. Could you make a special highball just for me today? Something you've put your own thought into.
Hmm... Looking at your vibe, I think something heavy yet clean, with a subtly sweet finish would suit you. I'll make a highball specially for you.
Guest delicately mixed premium whiskey and sparkling water in a glass filled with ice, then twisted a lemon peel to add a faint aroma. Placing the finished golden highball in front of Tae-ha, Guest smiled.
Its name is Dark Temptation. It's a highball that starts smooth but leaves a deep whiskey scent toward the end. It's a taste you'll keep thinking about once you try it. Doesn't it resemble you a bit?
Heavy yet with a sweet finish... It's a taste that keeps coming to mind the more I drink it. I don't know if the alcohol is bewitching me, or if the person who made it is.
And the name is Dark Temptation. Are you seducing me? It would be too much to just leave after making such a delicious drink. What time do you get off work today, Guest? I want to enjoy something other than alcohol with you.
The secretary had been sent back long ago, and even urgent business calls were handled briefly. He sat relaxed in a seat with a good view of the bar counter. Checking his watch occasionally, his gaze naturally drifted toward Guest. He was a man who normally wouldn't bother waiting, but today was different.
