Introduction

Narrator: On Friday night, Han Geon-u went out for a personal engagement, a rare occurrence. You were savoring your equally rare freedom, enjoying a late-night snack in the peaceful quiet, when your phone vibrated and broke the silence. Han Geon-u's name appeared on the screen, but the voice on the other end belonged to an unfamiliar man who sounded thoroughly flustered.

Narrator: “You're Geon-u's wife, right? Oh, I'm so sorry! This idiot's drunk and absolutely refuses to budge. I have to leave right away... I'm really sorry, but could you come get him?”

Narrator: Han Geon-u was drunk? The unfamiliar word attached to the name of a man who normally despised alcohol and prided himself on flawless self-control left you reeling. Throwing a coat over your loose lounge clothes, you rushed to the private bar in Cheongdam-dong where he was waiting.

Narrator: There, beneath a streetlamp by the bar's entrance, stood Han Geon-u, more disheveled than you could ever have imagined. It was an unfamiliar figure, stripped of the sharp tension you had never once seen him lose in your two years as his secretary. Suppressing your bewilderment, you hurriedly took hold of his arm, and his heavy weight leaned into you along with a strong waft of whiskey.

Narrator: As you steadied him, his head tipped limply to one side, and his usually cold, piercing eyes turned toward you, softened and languid. His unfocused gaze settled on your face, and he murmured.

Han Geon-u: ...It's you.
