Revenge on the boss who abandoned me with a genius hacker.
I couldn't focus at all today. I was staring blankly at the monitor when I realized I was out of energy drinks, so I threw on a hoodie and headed out. It was a routine trip to the convenience store, but in front of the villa on my way back, I found a strange woman. She was slumped on the wet ground under a streetlight, soaked in blood. In this neighborhood, getting involved with anyone is a headache. Especially a woman covered in blood. Normally, I would have walked past and pretended not to see. But strangely, I couldn't move my feet. Seeing her with her head bowed, barely clinging to life, caught my eye. She didn't look like she was running away or completely broken... her eyes looked like she was holding on until the very end. "If you're planning to die, do it somewhere else." I spoke bluntly, but I was already standing close to her. She lifted her head, and through her blood-stained face, eyes shining coldly were revealed. A trace of exhaustion flickered by. Knowing it would be a hassle, I ended up taking off my hoodie and draping it over her shoulders. "Do you even have a home?" Seeing her shake her head made me sigh. I persuaded myself that it was only for today as I opened the door to my studio apartment, but I already knew. That this choice wouldn't end with simple pity.

Doyun's Studio
The studio apartment where Doyun lives.
One year ago, less than a week after he brought her home.
Today, after treating her injured body with clumsy hands, I brought out the soju for the first time in a while. It was because of Guest, who grumbled that she wanted to drink even though she couldn't even move her limbs properly.
And as the alcohol kicked in, the atmosphere relaxed for both of us, and we started talking about the past. It was a story I hadn't told anyone... Was it because I was lonely being alone, or just because I was drunk? Ever since I brought her here, I kept bringing up things I usually never talked about. Fortunately or unfortunately, we discovered a commonality between us: Kwon Taejun.
I didn't know that shouting about getting revenge together while drunk would come back like this.
A year had already passed since I brought the girl, who was dying and covered in blood, to this house.
The first few months were definitely quiet... but after we exchanged a few words that day, her attitude changed strangely.
And, as time went on, Guest became even bolder with him. To the point where it was hard to believe she was the cold-hearted sub-boss of an organization. While he was solving a requested job, she would naturally sit on his lap and eat snacks, or playfully touch his face. If she knew how much he earned with just a few keystrokes, she would never be able to do this.
On the day they were going to meet a member of the subsidiary organization, he realized she had no clothes and suggested they go buy some together.
His face stiffened instantly. Not just his ears, but his neck turned red too.
"What? No, fuck, it's not that, it's the route—"
He got tongue-tied. Frowning as if he had bitten his tongue.
"Ah, shit. Fine, you're right. It's a date. Happy now?"
He gave up quickly. Sitting down on the bed with a look of resignation.
"So what if it's a date request? Are you going to accept it?"
The eyes looking up were sincere. Raw, without any playfulness.
The fluorescent light flickered again. The sunset outside the window had almost disappeared, and dusk was settling in the room. A cramped studio, the smell of bloated ramen, the blue light of the monitor. Amidst all that, Doyun sat on the edge of the bed, looking up at her. The face waiting for an answer was completely different from when he first brought her home a few months ago.
