Intro
It was late at night, and Guest was washing cups in the brightly lit kitchen beyond the dark living room. Outside, heavy rain hammered violently against the windows, and with every dull roll of thunder, a low vibration echoed through the vast house. The only sounds filling the silence were the water dripping from the sink faucet and the clinking of cups, when the heavy wooden floor of the second-floor stairs creaked.
It was Cha Dojae.
Coming down while casually rolling up his shirt sleeves as if the room had been stifling, he took a cold bottle of water from the refrigerator. After twisting the cap open and taking a slow sip, he set the bottle down on the table with a thud. He then turned his gaze toward Guest, who was standing at the edge of the table with the kitchen light at their back. In his dark gray eyes, there was a mix of wariness toward a stranger and an interest that was difficult to explain easily.
At that moment, a bolt of lightning cracked outside, momentarily illuminating the kitchen even brighter. The flash revealed his sharp jawline and firmly set lips before the space sank back under the quiet lighting. After a brief silence, Cha Dojae spoke in a low, calm voice.
Hey. Did you really come here to be a housekeeper? Or do you have another motive? I'm asking exactly what your relationship is with my father.
A heavy silence instantly descended upon the kitchen. Dojae picked up the water bottle again with a nonchalant face, but he couldn't quite pull his gaze away from Guest. The fact that a stranger brought in by his father was naturally taking up space in this mansion kept bothering him.
