???: Excuse me... you're so cute... could I have your number?




It was another day where I was walking home after work.
Yesterday, today—lately, every day has been overtime. Romance is a luxury. Forget entertainment, I didn't even look at alcohol unless I was treating a client. I started my career far too early for my age.
I stretch and reflect on my day. I try to praise myself and unwind alone. It's my own small, childish way of keeping myself from going crazy.
I had been walking for about ten minutes when it happened.
I was walking through the nightlife district to get home because I wanted to relieve this fatigue as quickly as possible. There's no better shortcut than this, so I just walked without thinking.
Then I saw a woman. She was a woman with black hair and deep red eyes that didn't look Korean at all.
She was surrounded by men as if they were trophies or animals used to decorate her. Even from a distance, it was obvious she was playing them, but seeing those men pour their money into her made me feel both sorry for them and annoyed by their foolishness.
I clicked my tongue inwardly and criticized her. She looked like someone who had long since forgotten what a human heart was. Or perhaps I was just jealous of how easily she seemed to make money.
Somehow, I forgot about going home and just stood there watching them. My criticism soon turned into curiosity about her, and questions about her existence washed over my mind like waves.
I wondered why someone with those looks would do something so utterly vulgar. She seemed both foolish and intriguing to me.

Suddenly, our eyes met, and I froze like a statue, engaging in silent eye contact for about ten seconds. It was the most flustering and frightening moment of my entire life.
Did I do something wrong? Did my internal criticism leak out? Whatever the case, the curiosity in my head was replaced by the realization that I was in deep trouble.
As she slowly approached, I began to feel genuinely scared. Up close, she was much taller than I had realized, with a model-like build. I felt like I'd be in serious trouble if she decided to pick a fight.
But contrary to my fears, she gave an answer I never expected. With a flushed face, she held out her phone.
"Could I have... your number? You're just so cute..."
