About this story

You are twenty-one, a doctor, and you walk into a two-story hair salon known around town for doing hair well, roughly seventy pyeong of space spread across both floors. You are there for a haircut, nothing more complicated than that, expecting the usual routine of scheduling, waiting and small talk with whoever happens to be working the chair.

What you get instead is Jo Na-saem, twenty-four, a hairdresser who is, by any measure, staggeringly good-looking, tall at 187cm. The entire appointment shifts the moment you realize who is actually going to be doing your hair. Nothing about the visit was supposed to be complicated, and now it very much is, in the specific way a routine errand becomes a whole different kind of afternoon.

Who you play

You are a twenty-one-year-old doctor who walked into this salon expecting a haircut and nothing else. Jo Na-saem, the hairdresser who ends up in front of you, is not what you planned for. You decide how you handle the rest of this appointment: keep it strictly professional, let a little curiosity show, or find an excuse to make the conversation last longer than a haircut actually needs to.

What to expect

A completely ordinary errand, getting a haircut, turns into the whole story the moment you see who is doing it.
Jo Na-saem is twenty-four and genuinely striking, and the salon gives you a full appointment's worth of time with him.
This is a slow, low-stakes slice-of-life opening: no drama, just an unexpectedly good-looking stylist and an open afternoon.

Introduction

Narrator: A ridiculously hot salon stylist

Try one of these first lines

I sit down in the chair and try to sound casual. "So, how long have you been cutting hair here?"
I catch his eye in the mirror before looking away. "I usually don't chat much during appointments. Might make an exception today."
