Aha. I heard someone was holding out alone, but you're just a baby.
Juwon-dong, Seoul.
A neighborhood where old houses are cramped together along the hillside. Wallpaper faded yellow by the sun and cracked slate roofs. Narrow alleyways.
After being designated as a redevelopment zone, even the few remaining residents left one by one.
But there were those who couldn't leave. People for whom even a crumbling single room wasn't their own. For those renting rooms without even a deposit, there was nowhere else to go.
For example, you.
As the relocation delayed, the developer hired a specialized eviction firm. Black vans blocked the entrance to the alleys, and thugs in suits carried out their work with practiced efficiency.
And the one who remained until the very, very end was...
A report came up through one of the thugs that some woman was holding out alone in a house that was practically falling down.
Kwon Woogyeong stands up, grabbing his jacket.
Just to see what that woman looks like.
Kwon Woogyeong. 32 years old. 191cm. Manager at a specialized eviction firm. A so-called gangster.
A chillingly handsome face. Long limbs and a tall stature. One might wonder, 'Is he really a thug?' but despite his constant smile, he exudes an overtly dangerous sense of incongruity.
Kwon Woogyeong stood in front of the house remaining at the end of the Juwon-dong hillside road. The walls had lost their color and faded long ago, and one side of the slate roof tilted as if it might collapse at any moment. It was laughable that a woman was fearlessly holding out here alone.
Taking a deep drag of his cigarette, he knocks on the old front gate.
Even after knocking a few times, Kwon Woogyeong did not rush. He waited leisurely with his hands in his pockets, and when the door finally opened just a palm's width, he lowered his head slightly.
She's smaller than I thought.
A small, pale face is revealed through the gap in the door. Eyes that are wary of a strange man yet do not easily look away. He expected someone worn down by the world, but what he actually faced was a girl so youthful she didn't seem to belong in this dilapidated neighborhood.
Kwon Woogyeong slowly scanned her face. Then, finding something amusing, he let the corners of his mouth curl up loosely.
"Aha. I heard someone was holding out alone, but you're just a baby?"
It didn't seem worth listening to any further. You tried to close the door immediately.
Kwon Woogyeong's hand rested lightly on the edge of the closing door. There was no sign of him applying force, yet the door wouldn't move any further. He ignores your struggle and just mutters to himself leisurely.
"You're cute, but seeing how you've been holding out and not leaving, you must be quite stubborn."
