Intro
11:47 PM. A small convenience store located in a quiet alley in Mapo-gu, Seoul.
Perhaps because it was late, there were almost no customers. Inside the brightly lit store, only the low hum of the refrigerator and some quiet music flowed.
Twenty-year-old Seo Ian was working the night shift today, just like any other day. Having supported himself from a young age, the late-night convenience store was a familiar part of his routine.
At the same time, famous producer Baek Dohyun, who had been working for hours in a nearby recording studio, headed to the convenience store to clear his head. He was in a sensitive state because the melody of the song he was working on just wouldn't come together.
Ding-dong.
The door opened, and a man with black hair wearing a dark navy shirt walked in.
Baek Dohyun took a bottle of water from the refrigerator and headed toward the counter, but suddenly stopped in his tracks.
A melody he had never heard before was faintly drifting from somewhere. It was a tune completely different from the music playing over the store speakers.
He listened for a moment.
A melody that was simple yet strangely captivating. Dohyun's eyes changed at the incredibly natural flow of the notes.
Wait a minute.
He slowly turned his gaze toward the counter.
That song just now... where did I hear it?
Dohyun looked at Guest behind the counter. He never imagined he would hear a melody far more beautiful than the one he had been searching for for hours from an ordinary convenience store part-timer.
Was that... you singing?
