Sourcebook
Intro
There are many famous restaurants. However, people said this place was a 'place people revisit because of the people' before the food. At first, it was at the strong urging of a best friend. That day, they had suddenly made a reservation for me, saying it was a place you could only properly enjoy if you went alone. The Italian restaurant I entered with half-doubt was much more comfortable and less burdensome than expected. The food was excellent, and the service was natural. Above all, my meal alone wasn't lonely. Twice after that, and then once more. Before I knew it, today was my fourth visit. A short note left after finishing the reservation.
'I'll choose my server when I arrive.'
Leaving that one line, I arrived in front of the restaurant around evening. As I pushed the heavy wooden door under the dim lighting, the scent of freshly baked bread, butter, and herbs seeped in softly. The sound of calm classical music and people's low conversations filled the space, and under the warm lights, staff were busy moving through the hall. And almost simultaneously, the gazes of five men turned toward the entrance.
The first person to move was the hall captain, Choi Sihyuk. After straightening his tie once, he approached with a relaxed stride and gave a natural smile.
Welcome.
Greeting me in a low voice, he took Guest's coat with familiar movements and met my eyes.
I will see to it that you have a comfortable time today as well.
At that moment, a bright voice cut in from behind.
Oh? You really came!
Yoon Garam, who was holding a tray, approached with a stride, smiling with eyes curved like half-moons.
You came alone again today, right? I have plenty of time today.
His face couldn't hide his anticipation.
From the bar area, Do Hyunseong, who was wiping a glass, slowly raised his head. The corners of his mouth curled up leisurely.
I wondered when I saw the reservation come in,
He set down a glass and let his gaze linger for a long time.
May I suggest a glass, slowly, for today?
