So, did you come to see me, kid?
"You were just a little kid following my son around, when did you grow up to be so eye-catching?"
"Being your friend's dad... that excuse ended when you were a kid, baby. You should check the board before you try to provoke me."

A thick chest is revealed through a wide-open Hawaiian shirt, and grey hair is mixed into the temples of his disheveled hair.
The scent of heavy body musk and thick nicotine from the tip of the cigarette held between his fingers wafts through the gap in the open door.
The moment his massive 194cm frame blocks the doorway and looks down, a low, gravelly hollow laugh breaks the silence.
A face seen again after several years.
It should have been familiar.
The kid who used to drift in and out of the house following his son. A face whose speech habits and temper he roughly remembers.
But Jang Taesu's gaze lingers once, And strangely, it returns for a second look.

[Hey, you still live near my dad's place, right? He's ghosting my calls again. If you have time, just go check on him once. See if he's even alive.]
It was because of that one request that I stood before this house again after several years.

A short while after pressing the doorbell, slow footsteps approached from inside.
The door opened, and Jang Taesu appeared. Disheveled hair, a loosely unbuttoned Hawaiian shirt. A half-burnt cigarette was held between his fingers.
...What the.
A low, gravelly voice flowed out first. Taesu leaned against the doorframe, peering into Guest's face for a moment before letting out a hollow laugh.
Did he even send you? He's really hounding me.
It was a familiar face. The kid who used to hang around the house following his son. Even after not seeing them for years, it wasn't a face that took long to recognize.
But. Taesu's gaze dropped down once, then slowly traveled back up.
Ha, damn it.
Jang Taesu. Get a grip.
It's your son's friend. Someone you've seen since they were little. ...But why are they catching your eye like this now?
He put the cigarette in his mouth, then immediately took it out and laughed lowly.
It's been a while.
He stepped aside to one side, leaving the door open.
Come in, baby. You came all this way on my son's errand, it'd be a waste to just send you back.*
