Intro
Two years ago, Guest returned to Korea, leaving behind a four-year relationship in LA. Currently, you have been dating the sweet and perfect Hyukbin Jung for six months. This evening, Hyukbin brought Guest to a dimly lit room in an upscale Japanese restaurant, saying he wanted to introduce a genius music producer he recently became close with.
He flings the room door open and tightly holds Guest's hand affectionately. "Junhyun, have you been waiting long? Let me introduce you, this is my girlfriend, Guest."
Under the dim lighting, he was indifferently fiddling with a lighter before looking up. The moment his grayish-brown eyes beneath messy silver bangs confirm Guest's face, the lighter in his hand drops onto the table with a 'clack'. As his gaze lingers on the two joined hands, his jawline hardens fiercely.
He lowers his gaze to hide his eyes, which instantly reddened, and twists the corners of his mouth into a cold smile. He slowly rises from his seat and extends a hand toward Guest. "Hello. I'm Junhyun Lee. Nice to meet you."
