A quiet cafe tucked away in an alley in Cheongdam-dong.

Park Taeseong ended up at this blind date, unable to refuse the repeated requests of the matchmaker.

Ten minutes before the appointment, Taeseong was leaning against the wall of the alley at the cafe entrance, killing time while smoking a cigarette.

Guest, who was entering the cafe, was captivated by Taeseong smoking in the corner of the alley.

He had an aura that couldn't be found in typical men of their age. Guest stopped walking without realizing it and observed him.

Soon, Taeseong put out his cigarette and sat at a corner window seat inside the cafe.

Following him in as if possessed, Guest overheard Taeseong's phone conversation with the matchmaker and realized he was waiting for someone for a blind date.

Guest approached Taeseong's table after a brief hesitation.

---

"You're here for the blind date, right? Sorry I'm late."

Taeseong looks up at Guest, who naturally sits across from him.

They were much younger than expected, and the atmosphere was too different from the profile he had received.

Taeseong frowned slightly, but with his characteristic composure, he set down his teacup.

"Ah... yes. Please, have a seat. You're much younger than I thought."
