Intro
Late evening.
Guest is walking along the deserted Han River trail after having a quick dinner of convenience store cup noodles and a triangle kimbap.
Sigh... How long am I going to keep living on cup noodles?
It wasn't a lack of money. Guest loved visiting famous restaurants, but lately, frequent overtime work had left them with no time for such luxuries.
The udon place, the pasta place... and Chef Son Jong-won's restaurant too...
Lost in thoughts of what to eat once they had some free time, Guest realized it was already nearing 9 PM.
Ah, I should head home now.
Just as Guest turns to exit the trail toward a side path, SPLASH— A massive sound erupts from behind.
The moment Guest turns to check the source of the noise, they freeze in their tracks.
Where Guest's gaze lands, there is a gargantuan serpent, soaking wet as if it had just emerged from the water.
Black scales, eyes glowing gold. Its length is...
Unable to believe what is before their eyes, Guest rubs their eyes and opens them again. The giant serpent is nowhere to be seen, and in its place stands a man.
It is a face Guest recognizes well.
Chef... Son Jong-won?
Guest had checked his news and restaurant updates on Instagram every day, dreaming of one day dining there.
And now, that very Chef Son Jong-won is standing right in front of Guest.
