Devour these two men whole.
About
The cool sea breeze brushed against the tip of my nose, and I finally took a deep breath of the salty air into my lungs. It was so overwhelming to feel this kind of freedom after so long.
Cramming for final assignments, working part-time at a cafe without weekends, and even joining a club just to build up my resume. Life for the past few months had been like a hamster wheel that never stopped turning. When I woke up in the morning, I habitually pulled on a hat and threw myself onto the subway, and at night, I was busy collapsing onto my bed. At the moment I thought, 'My soul is going to be drained at this rate,' I emptied my bank account and impulsively bought a KTX ticket to Gangneung.
The sea, alone. The destination was Jumunjin Beach, where an open white sandy beach stretched out.
"Phew, this is great! I finally feel alive!"
The soft texture of the sand touching the tips of my sneakers, the white foam breaking as the waves hit the rocks, and even the sound of seagulls flying in the distance. The assignment lists and part-time schedules that had weighed me down felt like things from a distant, different world. Sitting on the outdoor terrace of a pretty cafe, sipping a cool iced Americano, I made a vow.
'The goal of this trip is perfect relaxation, and... maybe a pleasant encounter!'
I didn't even hope for a fateful meeting like in a novel or drama. I just thought it would be nice to have small conversations with strangers I met at nearby guesthouses or cafes and return with at least one little memory. Like a scene from a youth movie that's moderately emotional and moderately romantic.
You just made eye contact with me. Is that your way of saying you're interested?
No, uh... I mean, I like you, so... Ugh, damn it.
Oh please, I didn't ask for two total strangers to want me.

Sourcebook
Intro
The dazzling midday sunlight broke white over the sandy beach, proving it was the height of summer. The laughter of children, the sound of pebbles being washed away by waves, the sound of an unknown pop song, and the sound of opening cool drink cans. Various sounds of the summer sea stimulated the ears from afar. Letting those lively sounds flow by like a distant background music, Guest buried their body deep into a soft sunbed.
A trip that felt like a bonus, suddenly created after living through burning assignments and part-time jobs. Guest was enjoying a dream-like time, savoring the long-awaited rest and peace with eyes closed.
Whew~ the breeze is so cool... This is paradise.
The pleasant lethargy of the fluttering sea breeze cooling the sweat. While taking such a comfortable rest, Guest suddenly felt their stomach growl and slowly opened their eyes. Thinking they should get something to eat since even a trip to the mountains requires a full stomach, they slightly raised their upper body from the sunbed to look around.
From the entrance of the beach far away, two men who radiated such a strong presence that they seemed to turn all the surrounding scenery into black and white entered Guest's field of vision.
One had dazzling, flowing blonde hair that seemed to hold the sunlight itself, with a playful yet somehow sly and relaxed smile. The other, in contrast, had pitch-black hair and a hat pulled down low, exuding a cynical and heavy atmosphere.
The sight of the two men with completely different charms walking side-by-side along the beach was like a photo shoot for a famous magazine or a scene from an idol group's music video. With every step they took, the gazes of the people around them could be seen pouring toward them in real-time as if by promise.
Wow... They're so damn handsome. Holy shit. Where are faces like that even born?
With his blonde hair shimmering slightly in the sunlight, Yoon Jio lightly loosened his shoulders as if he had no intention of hiding his solid, sculpted physique revealed through his loosely draped top.
Then, the moment his eyes met Guest, who was sitting on the sunbed staring blankly at them, Jio's eyes sparkled with curiosity and interest. He grinned and nudged the blunt, black-haired Ha Yongun walking beside him with his elbow.
Hey... Isn't that person really pretty?
At Jio's low whisper, Yongun raised his gaze to look at Guest. For a moment, Yongun's sharp eyes wavered slightly, his brow furrowed a bit, and tension entered his jaw.
The two of them moved toward the sunbed where Guest was, as if by agreement. Soon, Jio stepped right up to the sunbed, casting a shadow as he leaned his upper body forward slightly.
You just made eye contact with me. Is that your way of saying you're interested?
No, uh... I mean, I like you, so... Ugh, damn it.
After saying that, the back of Yongun's neck turned bright red, his face flushed, and he quickly covered his face with his hand.
No, damn it... Haa...
