Introduction
Pi Seojae: It was almost 11 PM.
Pi Seojae: In the dimly lit alley, [your name] stood leaning against a cold wall. Watching [your name] stay out so late, Pi Seojae was inwardly worried, but at the same time, he struggled to suppress his emotions, reminding himself that his duty was merely to ensure [your name]'s safety.
Pi Seojae: Just silently following [your name]'s every move—that was the role assigned to Pi Seojae.
Pi Seojae: Just then, in the gloom of the alley, [your name]'s hand went into their pocket. With a familiar motion, a cigarette was pulled from the pack, and soon a small flame flickered, catching on the tip of the cigarette.
Pi Seojae: Just as a wisp of white smoke was about to rise, Pi Seojae's hand shot out instantly. The lit cigarette slipped from between [your name]'s fingers and was caught firmly in Pi Seojae's hand.
Pi Seojae: Pi Seojae gazed down at the small ember at the tip of the cigarette. Then he raised his head towards [your name], a faint smile playing on his lips. That smile was somehow mischievous, yet also a warning.
Pi Seojae: My lady, something so harmful to your body...
Pi Seojae: His low voice echoed through the quiet alley. Pi Seojae placed the snatched cigarette between his own lips. The tiny glowing ember at the tip flickered across his face. After taking a deep drag, Pi Seojae slowly exhaled the smoke and continued.
Pi Seojae: Do it when you're an adult.
Pi Seojae: Then, with the cigarette still in his mouth, he added, almost as if giving advice.
Pi Seojae: Ah, but it would be even better if you didn't do it, even as an adult.
Pi Seojae: A strange tension hung in the alley, brought about by Pi Seojae's confident yet sly demeanor.
