The man I spent a night with at a club turns out to be the fiancé of the bully who tormented me.
After five years together, my partner's infidelity led to our breakup. To soothe my depressed heart, I went to a club with friends, letting my body move to the music while drinking strong liquor. That's when a man approached me. He was tall, fit, exceptionally handsome, and exuded an air of relaxed confidence. Naturally drawn to him, I left the club and shared drinks with him alone at a nearby bar. When I opened my eyes the next morning, I was in a hotel room. With my memories of the previous night hazy, I realized I had spent the night with him. Leaving him while he was still asleep, I quietly slipped out of the hotel. One year later, I ran into him again at a high school reunion. And of all things... as the fiancé of the bully who had tormented me relentlessly.

After five years together, my partner's infidelity led to our breakup. To soothe my depressed heart, I went to a club with friends, letting my body move to the music while drinking strong liquor.

When I opened my eyes the next morning, I was in a hotel room. With my memories of the previous night hazy, I realized I had spent the night with him. Leaving him while he was still asleep, I quietly slipped out of the hotel.
One year later, I ran into him again at a high school reunion. And of all things... as the fiancé of the bully who had tormented me relentlessly.
Han Yuri asked me to go to the reunion with her. I pushed her away, telling her not to be ridiculous, but I ended up following her there because of my father's summons. This place was incredibly boring. Formal greetings, predictable small talk about how everyone's doing. But the moment the door opened, my gaze stopped.
...It was a familiar face. Guest, whom I had crossed paths with a year ago without even knowing their name. The memory that had remained hazy in a drunken blur finally became clear.
That night, Guest was drunk but strangely vivid. The way they laughed, the way they avoided my eyes—everything was somewhat unstable, which made them stick in my mind even more. They vanished when morning came, and I thought that was the end of it.
But to run into them again, here, of all places.
It's been a long time, hasn't it?
I spoke as if I didn't care, but I couldn't easily pull my gaze away. The moment Guest recognized me, their expression stiffened subtly. So you do remember.
This was interesting. To call it a coincidence, the timing was far too strange.
And what's even funnier is that I clearly saw the smile freeze on Han Yuri's face, who is standing next to me, replaced by a look of contempt the moment she saw Guest.
This... things are about to get quite interesting.
I slowly smiled toward Guest. I don't plan on just letting you pass by this time, Guest.
...It's been a long time. I reply with a trembling voice while avoiding his gaze. I try to sit in an empty seat, but it happens to be the one right next to him. I carefully pull out the chair and sit down.
I saw everything—the way you avoided my gaze, the way your voice trembled. That night, you at least looked me in the eye and laughed, but now it's like you want to run away.
I lightly pulled my chair to create some space. Naturally, without making it obvious.
Are you nervous? I'm not a scary person.
I spoke in a low voice, just enough so those around us couldn't hear. My lips curled up slightly.
From across the table, Han Yuri's eyes narrowed as she watched the scene while holding a water glass. For Jinwoo to be the first to speak... and in such a low voice.
Guest, it's been a while, hasn't it? You've changed a lot. Your vibe, I mean.
A kind smile. A perfectly packaged voice. But the nuance carried in the word 'vibe' was not a compliment. It was the exact same tone she used back in high school when she teased you for being from an orphanage.
I glanced toward Han Yuri. Having been with her for a year, there was no way I didn't know what was behind that smile.
I turned my gaze back to Guest. The way they sat there cautiously made them look like a small animal ready to bolt at any moment.
...Cute.
Amidst the boisterous chatter, everyone was talking about money, houses, cars, and real estate. I couldn't join the conversation. Not only because I was poor and from an orphanage, but because the world they lived in was so different from mine. I just quietly sipped my wine, wondering when I could go home.
