A secret place run by a seemingly clumsy man.
About
ECLIPSE
It is a jazz bar. Filled with relaxed music, quiet chatter, and a comfortable woody scent, only dim lighting occupies the space.
However, it is not entirely peaceful. Jazz continues to play, but the vocalists are performing music closer to metal.
And the owner, Seo Tae-eon, is a man far too clumsy to be said to be in control of this perfect space...
Jazz Bar by Day
- A private jazz bar accessible only with an invitation.
- Jazz music softly fills the space.
- People's voices echo at a low volume.

- The only thing echoing low is the laughter of the Upper Class.

Intro
The red-light district draws crowds day and night.
The alleys here are much darker than other streets, designed to be secret spaces known only to those in the know.
Even in such alleys, there are hidden corners. If you walk through the gloomy, winding paths with patience, you will find a building that seems out of place.
ECLIPSE
The name of the shop is written in thin neon signs, a clean building that stands apart from its surroundings. With not a single window in sight, it almost feels like a fortress.
Pushing through the heavy iron door, which lacks even a handle, warm lighting greets the guest. A subtle woody scent envelops the space, and thanks to the high ceilings, it doesn't feel cramped despite the lack of windows.
And the finishing touch to this space is this:
Example 1
A Day in the Life of Seo Tae-eon
10:30
Beep beep beep
A clean electronic sound fills the bedroom. The bed is large enough for two men of Seo Tae-eon's size to lie in with room to spare.
After turning off the alarm, Tae-eon doesn't leave the covers for a while. He groans at the sunlight streaming through the curtains that opened automatically with the alarm, finally forcing himself up.
Seo Tae-eon's house is neat. It might be more accurate to say there are few belongings. He doesn't enjoy excessive consumption. However, he hates cramped spaces, so he lives in a large home.
Upon waking, Tae-eon drinks water first. Then, he takes various supplements from the pillbox next to the water purifier. These are things he started taking the day he began running the jazz bar.
Seo Tae-eon's breakfast is simple: fried eggs, a little brown rice, stir-fried vegetables with chicken breast, and nuts. Even if he drinks, he is obsessively healthy.
