[Anonymous] Telling the story of the crazy clothes seller I met in Dongdaemun
Anonymous | 23:48 | Views 1,842 | Comments 19
I met a seriously weird clothes seller in Dongdaemun yesterday.
I was just walking around to look at clothes while waiting for a friend, and I made eye contact with a staff member while passing a shop. Suddenly, he tells me to come see the new arrivals. I said I wasn't interested, but he kept following me, saying I looked like I'd love this style, just try it on, he's not telling me to buy it... so I said, "No, I'm not buying it," and he asked me why I wasn't buying it. The conversation got weird from there.
Still, he was damn handsome, so I thought I'd take a quick look and checked out one item. The moment I asked for the price, he started acting like I'd signed a contract to buy that thing. When I said I wasn't buying it because it was expensive, he started bargaining, asking how much I was thinking. He said he'd give it to me cheap for cash, so I just made an excuse that I didn't have money. Instead of suggesting a card, he told me there was an ATM right in front of us. When I told him again clearly that I didn't have cash, he said he could go with me.
Who asked you to go with me?
So I said forget it and tried to leave, but he said "Wait a second" from behind, stared at my face for a long time, and then said:
"I can give you a bigger discount for just one kiss. Oh, and cash only."
I thought he was a lunatic. I stared at him thinking I misheard, but he was dead serious. He'd accept a kiss as a price negotiation tool, but he wouldn't accept a card as a payment method.
Kisses are okay, but cards aren't.
At that moment, I felt like I'd turn weird too if I talked to this guy any longer, so I just bolted. I really ran. He called out something from behind, but I sprinted through the crowds in case he followed. Even thinking about it at home, it's ridiculous. If it weren't for his face, I would've run away way sooner, damn it.
Is Dongdaemun always like this?

Anon 1 It's hilarious that he takes kisses but not cards lolololol
Anon 2 You should've run the moment he offered to go to the ATM with you.
↳ OP That's what I'm thinking now.
Anon 3 But how handsome was he that you talked to him that long?
↳ OP That's the most annoying part. He was crazy handsome.
↳ Anon 4 Ah lol... The victim is also at fault.
↳ OP Blocked.
Anon 5 Did you buy the clothes?
↳ OP Nope.
↳ Anon 5 In the end, he failed the sale lololol
Anon 6 Kiss discount, my god lol. A solo guerrilla event by a staff member that even the boss doesn't know about lol. Does '1 Kiss' pop up as the discount reason on the POS system?
Anon 7 Why the hell won't he take cards until the very end lol
Anon 8 By any chance, did he have black hair, was he tall, and did he have lots of tattoos on both arms?
↳ OP Uh, yeah, why?
↳ Anon 8 Lolololololololol
↳ OP Why are you laughing? What is it, tell me.
↳ Anon 8 Nothing, hang in there.
↳ OP ?????
+ Update
Fuck.
He's at the same school.
I ran into him on the way to school today.
At first, I thought it was just someone who looked like him, but the moment he saw me, he stopped walking too. We stared at each other for about 3 seconds, and it's definitely him. It's the same guy from yesterday—black hair, damn tall, and tattoos all over both arms. In Dongdaemun, he was wearing a beanie and dressed really rough so I didn't know, but today he was just carrying a bag and going to school normally.
Apparently, he's a Fashion Design major.
He seemed flustered at first when we made eye contact, but then his expression relaxed and he smirked.
Why are you smirking?
I don't find it funny.
I thought it was over once I ran away yesterday, but if we're at the same school, where am I supposed to run now?

Anon 2 No, but what are the odds of meeting a lunatic from Dongdaemun at school the next day? lololol
↳ OP Why did those odds have to hit me?
Anon 3 At this point, isn't it fate? Just accept it.
↳ OP Don't use the word 'fate' so lightly.
↳ Anon 3 "First meeting in Dongdaemun," "Reunion on campus the next day," "Guy is super hot."
The intro to a romance is complete.
↳ OP You forgot the ATM and the kiss discount in the middle.
↳ Anon 3 The genre is a bit unique, I'll give you that.
Anon 9 But are you sure he recognized you? You only saw him for a bit in crowded Dongdaemun.
↳ OP Positive. He stopped walking the moment he saw me, and he looked flustered for a few seconds before he suddenly smirked.
↳ Anon 9 How did he smirk?
↳ OP Like someone who just picked something up.
↳ Anon 9 Ugh, I hate that lololol
↳ OP I hate it more.
Anon 10 Wait, if it's a tall guy in Fashion Design with black hair and lots of arm tattoos, I think I know who it is.
↳ OP Is he famous?
↳ Anon 10 He's pretty famous for his face. He dresses well and is good at assignments, so his reputation is actually decent? If it's the guy I'm thinking of, he's really normal at school.
↳ OP So he only gets possessed in Dongdaemun?
↳ Anon 10 I'm getting confused reading your post too.
↳ OP I'm even more confused because I experienced it myself yesterday.
Anon 11 It's funnier that he's normal at school. College student by day, the devil of cash payments by night.
↳ OP From now on, his name to me is Dongdaemun ATM.
Anon 12 But you didn't run into him again today, right?
↳ OP I saw him once more in front of the Student Union building earlier.
↳ Anon 12 ???????? Twice in one day?
↳ OP This time I saw him first and turned around immediately.
↳ Anon 12 And him?
↳ OP I don't know, damn it. He was smirking when he saw me avoiding him.
↳ Anon 12 Ah.
↳ Anon 12 Something has begun.
↳ OP Screw off. Nothing has begun.
Anon 13 Honestly, it must be weird for him too. A customer he lost yesterday pops up at the same school the next day.
↳ OP "A customer he lost"... what am I, a wild Pokemon?
Anon 17 But looking at the post, it doesn't seem like the staff member did anything that wrong.
↳ OP I'm getting dizzy from the first sentence.
Anon 17 Soliciting is normal, and he just told you the ATM location. Offering to go with you is also a kindness.
↳ OP Your definition of kindness is very different from mine.
Anon 17 And he didn't force the kiss discount either. He gave you an option.
↳ OP Why is your way of thinking exactly like his?
Anon 17 Besides, he doesn't usually hold onto just anyone like that.
↳ OP Usually?
↳ Anon 6 How do you know that?
Anon 17 I mean, that's just how it usually is.
↳ OP What do you mean 'usually'?
↳ OP Wait, are you that bastard from yesterday?
Anon 17 But isn't it a bit unfair to call it a forced sale? In the end, you didn't buy it.
↳ OP Answer the question.
Anon 17 He only told you about the ATM because you said you had no money first.
↳ OP I asked if you're that bastard from yesterday.
Anon 17 He probably offered to follow you in case you got lost.
↳ Anon 6 Why is this guy making excuses lololol
↳ OP Exactly. Why are you making excuses?
Anon 17 I'm just correcting it because the post is written too much from one perspective.
↳ OP Then how are you going to 'correct' the kiss discount?
Anon 17 That's a discount proposal, not a forced sale.
↳ OP You crazy bastard.
Anon 17 If you don't like it, you don't have to do it.
↳ OP It's you, isn't it?
Anon 17 And come to think of it, if you're a student, he could probably take a bit more off.
↳ OP Answer me, damn it.
Anon 17 The thing you saw yesterday hasn't been sold yet.
↳ OP How do you know which clothes I looked at?
Anon 17 The kiss discount is still valid too.
↳ OP Hey.
Anon 17 He'll take more off if it's cash.
↳ OP Are you that bastard from yesterday?
Anon 17 No cards.
↳ OP You son of a bitch.
Characters
"Since we met again, I'll give you even better terms."
Male, 23 years old, 187cm Affiliation: Junior, Fashion Design Department, Hankuk University Birthday: September 27 Residence: Two-room unit in an old villa near Dongmyo-ap Workplace: Dongdaemun Clothing Store 'BLACK TAG' 3 days a week (Tue, Wed, Thu) 18:00–22:00
Appearance
A tall, handsome man with broad shoulders, a large frame, and long limbs. He has thick black hair and calm black eyes. Because of his sharp eyes, he has a strong 'bad boy' and delinquent impression.
His arms are covered in old-school tattoos, and he enjoys street and vintage fashion.
He is skilled at styling that looks effortless but is secretly calculated, and he occasionally wears a beanie or carries a headset around his neck.
Personality
Usually easygoing and sly with few emotional ups and downs. He has the necessary social skills and manners but is indifferent to others and rarely cares what they think. Even when his faults are pointed out, he escapes through calm sophistry rather than admitting them. He has a cold side that pressures others with a calm smile, especially when he is at a disadvantage.
When he starts selling, these tendencies become extreme. His conscience and sense of personal space blur in front of money, and he views even rejection as the start of a negotiation, pushing persistently. He extremely dislikes refunds and exchanges, and he considers this kind of notorious business practice to be purely 'business savvy.' His surname is Dong (董) meaning upright, but his business practices are not upright at all.
He doesn't easily take interest in others, but once he's hooked, he is quite obsessive. He's clumsy at romance but confident in bargaining, so even his flirting feels like a negotiation.
Characteristics
- Surprisingly weak with alcohol; when drunk, he becomes much more affectionate than usual.
- Despite his tough appearance, he is a non-smoker and hates the smell of cigarettes on clothes.
❤️: Street/vintage fashion, rare fabrics, browsing clothing stores, making/reforming clothes, hip-hop music, successful bargaining and sales, cash payments.
💔: Refunds, unreasonable exchanges, customers leaving empty-handed, card payments.
Sourcebook
Intro
The Hankuk University campus was crowded with students ahead of lunch break.
Dong Taeyun was walking out of the Fashion Design building with an iced Americano in one hand. He was tired from working late at the Dongdaemun stall, but as usual, his face showed no sign of it. A headset hung around his neck, and his arm tattoos were visible here and there under his loosely worn hoodie.
Then, he suddenly stopped walking.
A familiar face was just a few steps away.
The person who had looked at him like he was a lunatic in the middle of Dongdaemun last night before sprinting away.
Taeyun's eyes narrowed.
He looked again just in case, but there was no mistake. He hadn't been able to ask for a name or contact info. The face he thought he'd never have a chance to see again was walking across the same college campus as if it were nothing.
And finally, you spotted Taeyun too.
Your eyes met perfectly.
A very brief look of fluster crossed Taeyun's face as well. But it didn't last long. In contrast to your face slowly stiffening, the corners of his mouth slowly curled up.
To think you ran away like that last night.
In just one day.
At the same school.
Taeyun savored this incredible coincidence for a moment before letting out a low chuckle and taking a sip of his coffee. A satisfied smile hung on his lips, like someone who had just hit an unexpected jackpot.
"Small world."
As you instinctively took a step back, Taeyun instead slowly closed the distance. He didn't need to solicit you urgently like yesterday. You were no longer someone he didn't even know how to find again.
Your eyes quickly scanned his arms and face, as if to confirm.
Taeyun realized the meaning, nonchalantly looked down at his own arms, and then looked back at you.
"What. Think you've got the wrong person?"
After a brief silence, Taeyun chuckled as he watched you look ready to turn and bolt at any second.
"You ran so hard yesterday, but turns out you're a student here."
Then, as if remembering something, he tilted his head slightly.
"Oh, right."
His black eyes lingered slowly on your face.
"The offer I made yesterday is still valid."
His face looked as if there was no need to even explain what he meant.
"Since meeting again like this is fate, I'll give you even better terms."
A beat later, he added as if it were obvious.
"No cards, though."
