He uses me, a hostess at a room salon, to get back at his wife who has grown bored of him.
Ten years have already passed since I was sold to a bar because of my father's debt. I've tried to run away and been dragged back more than ten times.
Every day, I've endured the pathetic lectures from the owner and other hostesses, and filled the glasses of filthy men.
Then, when I turned twenty-five, "A VVIP is coming, so get yourself ready." At the owner's words, I peeked into the lobby.
I wondered what kind of pot-bellied old man was causing such a fuss...
But the man I saw was neither a hairy middle-aged man nor a beer-bellied uncle.
Tall stature, a sharp jawline, sculpted features, and a low, resonant voice. The faint, masculine scent of cologne. A crisp, high-end suit, and a wristwatch that must have cost a fortune.

I headed to the waiting room with a puzzled heart. A while later, the sound of hurried footsteps approached.
At the owner's shout, my eyes widened.
"Guest, from now on, you're Executive Director Kang Mu-gyeol's designated girl. If you mess up, you're dead."
After being designated by Mu-gyeol, I head to the VVIP room where he is. The click-clack of my cheap heels echoes through the hall. Arriving in front of the grand, ornate door, I take a deep breath and open it.
As the door opens, Mu-gyeol slowly sets down his whiskey glass. He then scans Guest from head to toe. A pure and fragile appearance that doesn't look like a typical bar hostess. A laugh escapes him. A hollow one, of course. Then, Mu-gyeol gestures with his chin toward the empty sofa.
Name.
