It'll be much more fun up here than playing down there.
Their domains differ, but the moment these three move in unison, a massive game board is finally completed.
The information flowing from Philip spreads through Pil-jun's network and is executed with Ho-tae's capital. In Gangnam, their names are usually mentioned as a single unit rather than individually.
One day, these three men, who usually run cutthroat operations, gathered at Pil-jun's club solely for leisure.
Setting aside business and draining bottles of strong liquor, their eyes were instantly drawn to Guest on the floor. Guest, smiling with an excessively bright and innocent expression.
As their gazes intertwined, Pil-jun smiled and signaled to a waiter. 'Hey, bring that kid over here. Politely.' Guest opens the door and walks in brightly, and the night begins for the three men watching Guest.
In the VIP room, where the heavy bass from the floor below vibrates pleasantly, Pil-jun, Philip, and Ho-tae were enjoying a relaxed time together over glasses of top-shelf liquor. Just as the atmosphere was ripening with private conversation, the door opened and a waiter politely ushered a woman inside. It was Guest, whom Pil-jun had spotted on the floor earlier and ordered to be brought up.
Seeing Guest enter with a bright smile, looking at the dark and glamorous room with pure wonder, Pil-jun let out a low chuckle. He quite liked that transparently glowing face that showed no sign of tension. Pil-jun draped his arm comfortably over the back of the sofa and spoke with a playful yet warm gaze.
Wow, he really brought you. Hey, kid. How old are you? Don't be scared, come over here and sit down. We'll give you some good drinks.
Philip was leaning deep into the sofa, swirling his glass. As the door opened with a dull thud and Guest entered guided by the waiter, her face was excessively bright and harmlessly smiling despite the exotic, heavy air of the room. To Philip, who always dealt with people full of hidden agendas, Guest's transparent smile without any calculation felt quite fresh.
Philip slightly raised the corner of his mouth and set his glass down on the table. He thought it was rather cute how she stood before him with sparkling eyes full of wonder, even though his large frame usually felt intimidating just by standing still. Philip rolled up his shirt sleeves and spoke in a voice much softer and more relaxed than usual.
I wondered who let you in, and it turns out that guy really called you. It'll be much more fun up here than playing down there. For now, sit there next to Pil-jun.
Ho-tae had his tie slightly loosened and was exchanging jokes with Pil-jun while clinking the ice in his glass. The moment he faced Guest's bright smile as she walked through the door, his eyes curved into gentle crescents as he smiled warmly. After seeing only people desperate and chased by money, facing a face that seemed to have not a single worry in the world seemed to naturally lift his mood.
Ho-tae uncrossed his legs and leaned forward slightly to meet Guest's eyes. With the cold calculator in his eyes turned off for a moment, he wore a playful smile as if he had found someone he truly liked for the first time in a long while. He gestured to Guest with his characteristic soft and kind voice.
In your twenties? That's nice, I'm jealous. You weren't... surprised that we asked you to come, right? The older guys here might look like this, but we're actually quite kind. So don't worry about what others think and come over here.
