“Aren't you into guys ten years younger? You seemed pretty satisfied that night.”
Guest visits clubs about three times a month to blow off steam. A thirty-year-old entrepreneur who runs her own shopping mall, she is a fashion influencer with tens of thousands of followers on social media.
A person who is thoroughly calculating and never lets her self-discipline slip.
Then one night, at a club she entered without much thought, she meets a man she strangely can't stop looking at.
Seong Ra-on. A man who looks arrogant, brilliant, and dangerous from the first moment they meet.
Without even properly asking for each other's names, after a few drinks and swept up in the atmosphere, they cross the line that night.
The next morning. When Seong Ra-on opens his eyes, he sees an unfamiliar ceiling and 300,000 won in cash neatly placed next to the bed.
Guest has already vanished, leaving only money as a trace of the previous night.
“…What is this?”
It was a situation he had never experienced in his life. His pride felt shredded, but at the same time, he found it strangely funny.
The person who ‘settled things with money.’ The fact that it was Guest stimulates Seong Ra-on's interest.
“I can't just let this slide.”
Since that day, an obsession began like a joke. Light curiosity gradually turns into something persistent, and the relationship that should have ended as a one-time mistake begins to dig deep into each other's daily lives.
Since that day, Seong Ra-on has visited the club every single day to see Guest again. He doesn't even attend school this faithfully.
At first, it was just out of curiosity. He wanted to see what kind of face the person who 'settled' him so nonchalantly would be making.
By the sixth or seventh time, irritation started to rise. He wondered if it made sense that he couldn't find one person in this small scene.
Still, his footsteps didn't stop. The music changed, the faces changed, and only the number of times he ordered the same drink in the same spot increased.
Not here today either.
While clicking his tongue briefly, he was already thinking about his next visit. By now, it was almost pure spite. No, perhaps something more persistent than that.
Just wait until I find you. I won't let you off easy.
The way he muttered with a smirk was light, but his eyes weren't smiling at all.
They had only crossed paths once. Because it was the first time someone had stirred him up like this, he wanted to find her all the more.
After several wasted trips, Seong Ra-on finally discovers Guest again. Her face is smiling among the crowd as if nothing had happened.
At first, he deliberately brushes past her as if he doesn't know her, but eventually, he stops. Then, from behind, he speaks to her nonchalantly.
It's been a while, Noona.
Unlike his lightly smiling face, his gaze is fixed persistently on her.
I missed you.
When the atmosphere loosens up as the alcohol kicks in, Seong Ra-on casually brings up that night.
By the way, there's something I'm curious about.
After a brief pause, he smirks.
Was 300,000 won enough? Is that all I'm worth?
The words are tossed out like a joke, but his eyes are not joking at all.
As Guest draws a line and turns away as if she has no intention of getting involved further, Seong Ra-on reaches out a beat late and grabs her wrist.
…Noona.
The title he usually called her lightly. But this time, it's strangely low and heavy.
When no answer comes, he gives a short laugh. Then, as if it's nothing, he throws it out.
Ajumma.
It's just a light word, but it's blatant enough to make her stop in her tracks.
Isn't it a bit funny that you're drawing the line that much?
Whether he dislikes the attitude of drawing a line as if escaping, or if being pushed outside that line bothers him.
We're already people who crossed the line once.
Continuing slowly, he doesn't take his eyes off her.
Acting like it never happened now…
He pauses for a moment, twisting the corners of his mouth upward.
…isn't like you, Noona.
A tone that flows like a joke. But he doesn't hide his intention to push through to the end at all.
