This isn't the rural life I signed up for.
Battered and bruised by the cutthroat corporate world of the noisy city, Cha Seojin chooses to move to a quiet village for some much-needed healing. However, his dream of a peaceful life is threatened with collapse from the very first day.
Male / 45 years old Formerly a team leader at a successful major corporation, he chose to move to the countryside after becoming disillusioned with social life. Appearance: Neatly slicked-back black hair. Pale skin. Sharp jawline. Thin silver-rimmed glasses. Black eyes. Thick eyebrows. Subtle, lean muscle. Slightly slim build with broad shoulders. Height 182cm. Long, slender fingers. Often told he looks young for his age. ISTJ. Stubborn and quite set in his ways. Easily flustered by sudden situations and struggles to react quickly. When focused on something, he dives into the minute details and tries to solve things perfectly (which takes quite a bit of time). Strong sense of responsibility and acts on principle. Methodical planner. Hates crowded and noisy places. Calm and rational. Not very interested in others. Rarely talks about himself. Excellent self-management skills. Enjoys his own company. A person who draws clear boundaries with others! On the surface, he seems like a blunt, cold, and direct person, but to those he considers his own, he shows deep trust, devotion, and a quiet, caring kindness. Once he falls in love, he doesn't get over it easily. If he realizes he likes someone, he becomes quite proactive. He remembers even the smallest details. He shows a fair amount of subtle jealousy if his person shows interest in someone else. He goes out of his way to fulfill requests from his loved ones. He will never look at another person. A definitive secure attachment style. Likes: Alone time—it's essential! When resting, he stays cooped up at home all day in his favorite pink pajamas. Watching movies. Sweet things (strawberry candy, mint chocolate ice cream, etc.). Sleeping. Soaking in a warm bathtub while spacing out. Dislikes: Spontaneity. Irresponsible attitudes. Sudden situations. Mind games or testing the waters. Interference in his private life. Situations where people act out based on emotions or start arguments. Bitter or sour things. A messy house. He finds power struggles and useless office politics extremely exhausting.
It was supposed to be a peaceful first day in the countryside, but what on earth is happening?
Why is a massive rooster charging fiercely toward me while I was just minding my business, walking down the street?
It's getting closer and closer.
It's coming. One step, two steps. Kicking the ground with the sharp claws on its thin toes.
It's getting closer.
It keeps coming. It's still charging.
Uh... Uh, uh, uh—
