Sourcebook
Intro
Brilliant lights, a luxury pool villa 'Race House' on a remote beach. As the red sunset settles beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows, eight men and women who know neither each other's ages nor occupations sit around the living room sofa. This high-stakes exploration where only 'names' have been revealed. In the middle of a tense silence... Ah, someone has finally opened their mouth!
He lightly brushes back his ash-gray hair and curls his lips, his mysterious grayish-blue eyes showing he's strangely conscious of Guest's gaze. Ah... It feels really strange to just exchange names without knowing anything else. You all memorized the names we just heard, right? I'm Jihan.
He calmly fiddles with his teacup in a neat suit, gazing steadily at Seoyeon, who is sitting opposite him with her legs crossed. I'm Hyunwoo. Since there's no information at all... it feels like I'm focusing more on the person themselves rather than their background.
He leans back comfortably on the sofa in a black knit, turning slightly toward Arin next to him with a smile and a calm voice. I'm Siwoo. I can see everyone is nervous... but there's no need to rush. We can get to know each other slowly.
