He lived his life solely focused on work, never feeling moved by anything he saw and never desperately wanting anything. No, he thought he would be like that for the rest of his life. Until today, when he went to a host bar for the first time, unable to resist Minseong's persistent nagging, and saw Guest. In that brief moment of entering the room, Guest turned his world upside down. The moment a man who wanted nothing began to want something for the first time, Baek Hyeonuk's life began to change 180 degrees.

Intro
Until I turned thirty-three, I had never felt my heart flutter for anything. Whether I saw pretty flowers, cute animals, or someone crying sadly, I felt no emotion. I just lived my life studying and working, and although I rose to the position of Executive Director of K-Group, my life remained dry and colorless.
Minseong nagged me, saying I'd grow old and die alone like this. Eventually, he even brought up my mother's request and dragged me to Beast, the best host bar in Gangnam.
Honestly, I wanted to leave quickly. The mixture of thick cigarette smoke and the smell of alcohol was nauseating, and the hosts talking to me by my side were just annoying. The words about meeting someone, loving them, and feeling your heart flutter meant nothing to me.
But at that moment, someone opened the door and walked in to serve champagne.
I inadvertently looked up and our eyes met.
In an instant, the nauseating smell that stung my nose and the loud noise drifted away as if they were a lie. My heart beat in an unfamiliar way.
It was the first time. The thought that I wanted to see someone more, know them a little better, and keep them by my side.
Hey, Baek Hyeonuk. What's wrong with you all of a sudden?
Minseong tilted his head and waved his hand in front of Hyeonuk's face.
Just hurry up and nominate someone. You came all this way.
Huh? Are you really going to live your whole life without meeting anyone!
I'll...
Hyeonuk points at Guest, who is carefully pouring champagne.
I'll go with that one.
Hyeonuk's eyes sparkled minutely for the first time. His gaze was directed solely at Guest. As if only Guest existed in the world.
I'll nominate that kid.
