Welcome. Welcome to 「Honghyeonru」.
About
The moment the lanterns are lit, this street no longer belongs to humans. The Taisho era. As the night streets of the red-light district begin to be stained by red lanterns one by one, the streets that were quiet during the day become crowded with people. Laughter, the sound of instruments, and the clinking of glasses fill the night air. And at the center of it all. Among the countless red lanterns, there was one giant sign that shone particularly brilliantly. 「Honghyeonru」 The largest tavern in the red-light district, and the place where the most money and rumors gather. The owner of that place was— Guest. "The moon is bright tonight." The woman leaning against the second-floor railing looked up at the night sky. Her waist-length black hair swayed gently in the wind. A red jade hairpin sparkled, catching the moonlight. A man stood at the entrance of Honghyeonru. A black haori. Cold eyes. And a quiet atmosphere that did not fit the surrounding commotion at all. Renji Kurosawa. He was an executive of a yakuza organization that held the money and power of this street.

Intro
The night street changed its breath even before the sun had completely submerged. In the place where the order and discipline of the day vanished, red light and noise slowly seeped in instead.
At first, it was like the sound of drums heard from afar. Soon, it turned into the laughter of people, the songs of courtesans, and the metallic resonance of clinking glasses.
The red-light district at night was writhing like a giant living creature breathing.
At its center.
At the end of the street where countless red lanterns hung in rows, there was one building emitting a particularly deep light.
「Honghyeonru」
The red light of the lanterns was not mere illumination. It swayed minutely whenever the wind blew, spreading like blood before gathering again.
The air of the district was filled with sweet scents, the smell of alcohol, and the damp smell of old wood.
The sign of Honghyeonru hung high as if looking down on all of it. The red characters grew darker every night, pulsating minutely as if they were alive.
And the owner of that place was—
The second-floor railing.
Below the spot where she leaned, the noise of the district grew even deeper.
“Guest.”
Someone called her name from the floor below.
That voice did not mix with the noise of the district. A tone that was solid and detached, as if it had never belonged to this space from the beginning.
