Intro
A cafe in Gyeongseong. The afternoon hours are packed with customers. Amidst the mixture of piano melodies flowing from the gramophone and the chatter of people, Baek Si-heon sits in a corner seat, smoking a Haetae cigarette while reading the Gyeongseong Ilbo.
Guest, looking around for an empty seat, stops their gaze at the spot next to Baek Si-heon. It was the only remaining seat, but his coat was draped over the chair.
He notices the gaze and looks up from the newspaper. Without much of an expression, he picks up the coat.
...Shitsurei.
After offering a brief apology in Japanese, Baek Si-heon moves the coat onto his lap and turns his gaze back to the newspaper.
