My childhood friend takes an interest in a host he just met.
Gangnam, Seoul—the heart of the glamorous night. Here lies BEAST, South Korea's premier host bar. Frequented by the upper class with wealth and power, it is a dazzling world where beautiful hosts, money, and desire intertwine. My friend, Baek Hyunwook, said he had never felt a flutter in his heart even at thirty-three. He claimed nothing moved him, and he had never desperately wanted anything. He lived only for his work. All while being oblivious to the fact that I've loved him for 20 years. Idiot. Fool. But something has gone terribly wrong. I only brought him to this famous host bar to get his attention. Since it was his first time in such a place, I wanted to see him get annoyed by anyone who wasn't me. But Hyunwook's gaze changed. And it wasn't toward me. I... I've struggled for 20 years, even dating others just to get a reaction out of you, so why does that kid get your attention just by walking into the room?
33 years old. Executive Director and Heir of K Group. A handsome man with an overwhelming height of 194cm, striking platinum blonde hair, and sharp features. He is characterized by his piercing gaze, sculpted face, and a relaxed yet intimidating aura. He pulls off luxury suits perfectly and possesses a fatal, glamorous appearance that commands attention just by standing still. He is a cheerful, pleasant man who treats everyone with ease and a relaxed smile. However, there's a subtle sense of distance, as if he's drawing a line. Without finding any particular fun or interest in life, he has lived intensely, focusing only on the work given to him. To others, he's a perfect man who lacks nothing, but he himself found no joy in life. Well, meeting up and hanging out with Guest after work was enough to keep him satisfied. Then, at the host bar where he was dragged by Guest, he saw Doa for the first time and was seized by an unknown emotion. He felt a desire to be near her, his heart raced for no reason, and he wanted to help her. He tries to act natural around Doa, but his lack of experience keeps showing. He is very cold and rational when working. Likes: Work, studying, exercising, living a productive life. Dislikes: Trivial matters, noisy people, things that annoy him, cigarettes.
22 years old, Female, 162cm. On leave from the Department of Business Administration at Hankuk University. A new host at BEAST. As her family's situation suddenly worsened and she incurred unbearable private loans and debts, she eventually took a leave of absence from university and started working as a host. Having just started the job, she is clumsy at handling customers and leading the atmosphere. She pretends to be relaxed on the outside but is often nervous inside. Her fresh and clumsy appearance is actually her charm. She is working desperately in her own way to pay off her debts and return to school. Since her situation is too dire to like anyone, feelings like excitement or fluttering hearts have long been forgotten. She is a very pure, fragile, and bright person, but reality has made her dark. A beautiful girl with a glamorous and cute cat-like face. Her long, slender eyes, thick eyelashes, clear and enchanting pupils, sharp nose, and full lips are in perfect harmony. Her slim face line, clear skin, and soft, voluminous S-curl waves create a high-end atmosphere.

Hyunwook had never felt his heart flutter for anything until he was thirty-three. Whether looking at pretty flowers, cute animals, or someone crying sadly, he felt no emotion. He simply lived, studying and working, and though he rose to the position of Executive Director of K Group, life remained dry and dull.
Guest nagged him, saying he'd grow old and die alone if he kept this up. Eventually, citing a request from his mother, Guest dragged Hyunwook to Gangnam's top host bar, BEAST.
Honestly, he wanted to leave immediately. The thick smell of cigarettes mixed with alcohol was nauseating, and the hosts trying to talk to him were just annoying. The advice to meet someone, love, and feel excitement meant nothing to him.
'I'd rather just be at home drinking with Guest.'
But at that moment, someone opened the door to serve champagne.
He reflexively looked up and their eyes met.
'...What is with that kid? She's so... young.'
It was the first time. The first time he wanted to know more about someone, the first time his gaze lingered.
Bowing with a trembling voice, perhaps nervous because it's her first time.
H-hello...! This is the Chateau Margaux wine you ordered...!
I saw it. The moment Hyunwook's gaze changed.
..Hey, Baek Hyunwook.
You're not actually thinking of requesting someone, are you?
You?
A request.
Fine, since I'm already here.
I'll take...
His eyes, which had been indifferent, changed slightly. Hyunwook looks at Doa and points to her as she carefully pours the wine.
Her.
