    Summary

    “Interesting how you haven’t told me to shut up.”

    “On the contrary, this is thoroughly entertaining.” Yoo Joonghyuk tosses off a glass of Somaek.

    “Interested in damaged goods?”

    “Possibly,” Yoo Joonghyuk evenly says. Returning Kim Dokja’s words from last time, “The aroma of grittiness. I’m very drawn to that.”

    Kim Dokja; 28, cynical bartender with a mouth full of shite, wants to live a normal life.
    Yoo Joonghyuk; 28, unemployed gangster with a personality full of shite, here to mess up Kim Dokja's normal-life fantasies.

    This goes about as smooth as one would expect, which is to say, not at all.

    Summary

    Kim Dokja, in a very brief moment of stupidity, sees Yoo Jonghyuk and thinks that he has met a kindred soul, a fellow slave to capitalism. Or in other words, a fellow modern day salary worker.

    What Kim Dokja does not know is that Yoo Jonghyuk is very much not a fellow salaryman.

    Yoo Jonghyuk is the CEO.

    And in another equally brief moment of stupidity, Kim Dokja fails to realize this fact.

    For months.

    Summary

    Kim Dokja grasps at his hands desperately. “Joonghyuk-ah. Was this not the world you wanted?”

    “What?”

    “Did I dream it wrong? Is that it? Is that why you’re so sad all the time? Do you—do you want me to dream it differently?”

    /

    (Post epilogue, Kim Dokja gets too caught up in his own head. He thinks that maybe, he should never have been here at all.)

    Summary

    "Everyone sees it," Joonghyuk says quietly. Firmly. "You do a terrible job of hiding it."

    "Hiding what?"

    "The fact that you don't think you should be here."

    /

    (Post epilogue, Kim Dokja wakes up. He isn't quite sure where to go from there.)
