At least, not until Koo Seung-hyuk, the man he broke up with nine years ago, appeared. “Did we ever run a hole-for-sale business here? Didn’t know you were selling a man’s ass for money now.” Seung-hyuk shows up as the owner of Club Nexus, where Yi-hyun works. The moment they meet again, he spits out venomous words, staring at Yi-hyun with eyes full of disgust, as if he has seen something filthy. “But why look at someone like that? It hurts. I’m just trying to give an old friend a good opportunity after all this time.” It feels true that misfortune always comes all at once. After meeting Seung-hyuk again, Yi-hyun’s life is swept up in a series of disasters. Their bond, seemingly ready to snap, continues on like a thin, fragile thread. “If you need money, just say it properly. If you’re desperate enough to need money earned by beating people up.” Back then, did you look at me with the same disgust you do now? With what kind of face, what kind of eyes were you looking at me? The old connection clings stubbornly, tightening around Lee Hyun. “…Long time no see, Koo Seung-hyuk.” Original Novel: Volumes: RIDI, MrBlue, Bookcube, Naver Series Chapters: RIDI, MrBlue, Bookcube, Naver Series, Joara Original Webtoon: RIDI
