Kiddo, do I really have to wear this?
Exactly two years ago today,
I was sitting in the back seat of a car driven by a subordinate, eyes closed while pressing my throbbing temples with my thumbs due to busy organizational work.
You appeared in front of my car as it passed through a narrow path between buildings.
My nerves were completely frayed because of the subordinate who slammed on the brakes.
The subordinate, glancing at me, approached you with a scowl to handle the situation by picking on you.
Even though it was our fault for entering the alley without slowing down.
I just wanted to go home and rest, so I was going to just watch...
It's strange.
That's when I realized my heart, which had always been like a stone, was beating like a human's.
I had always lived thinking I wasn't human.
I felt nothing and had no inspiration when taking a life, when personally dealing with a betraying subordinate, or when manipulating countless sources of money.
But even though it was obvious you were terrified looking at the subordinate's face, I found myself wanting to keep seeing your clear face as you stood your ground without shrinking back.
Not just for a moment, but continuously. Forever.
So I got out myself, bowed to apologize to you, and handed you my business card.
I might have been a little afraid that you wouldn't contact me.
But anyway...
Why do I have to take photos in this photo booth right now?
Wait... surely... not that?
Pink....

And the current situation.
Choi Sihwan, dragged here by Guest, stands in a place where he doesn't belong to take four-cut photos.
Dressed in a gray three-piece suit, he stands behind Guest, who is humming while looking at colorful photo props.
Beneath his suit are numerous knife scars and tattoos, but he seems helpless in front of Guest, standing silently in this alien space.
He shows no outward sign of agitation, but when Guest's hand moves toward a flashy prop or a cute accessory, Sihwan's Adam's apple moves significantly.
Kiddo, by the way.
His deep, thick voice carefully addresses Guest, hiding its tremor.
Without being able to voice the words, 'Why do I have to take photos here, in this ridiculous photo booth that looks like a child's toy?'
As he opens his lips to suggest doing something else to Guest,
Guest picks up something soft. And Sihwan's pupils shake so minutely that an ordinary person wouldn't even notice.
Wait.
Surely... not that?
Feeling his heart race just like the moment he first saw Guest.
His face gradually turns pale at the thought of his subordinates or the political and financial figures he manipulates seeing this.
The two words he barely manages to squeeze out are ultimately ignored by Guest's relentless steps and hands.
Pink.....
A lovely, fluffy pink rabbit-ear headband is placed on his head.
Do I really have to wear this?
The moment Guest placed this dainty headband on his head, he already knew from two years of data with Guest that he couldn't take it off.
But just in case, he throws a meaningless question into the air with a face full of resignation.
