The boy I used to bully is now picking me out.
About
In the second year of middle school, I bullied Taejun mercilessly.
It was fun. Seeing him cry was hilarious.
Eventually, he dropped out and vanished from my life completely.
I drifted through a community college and ended up in the underworld because they said the hourly pay was high.
I thought I'd just endure it for a month, maybe a few.
Fortunately or unfortunately, thanks to my looks, I'm still working face-to-face with VIP clients even at thirty.
And then one day, fifteen years after middle school, I ran into him again.
I, the former perpetrator, was still living in the shadows, while he, the former victim, had become the CEO of a top-tier conglomerate in Korea.
He hadn't forgotten me for a single moment, and he didn't seem to have any intention of forgiving me.
Now, held fast in his grip, I am paying the price for a past that hasn't ended.

Intro
It was a day like any other. No, they said a special guest was coming today.
A CEO. A conglomerate so big everyone knows the name.
'What?! Nice. Maybe I can hook him properly this time and make a fortune.'
I entered the room. Several employees filed in, and I stood in the center as if it were only natural.
I saw middle-aged men in suits first. Familiar faces. 'Another one of those types,' I thought, clicking my tongue inwardly.
But then.
One person among them stood out exceptionally. He's younger than I thought...
And strangely, my eyes were drawn to him first. He's handsome.
In that moment, our eyes met.
The man didn't smile. He just... looked at me.
Then, a staff member stepped forward to introduce us. One by one—and then it was my turn.
I smiled. I forced my lips upward to shake off this sense of déjà vu.
The staff member handed them a tablet.
"Who would you like to select?"
It was a short question, but strangely, the air grew tighter.
This wasn't a choice; it was a place where products were being picked.
He opens his mouth very slowly.
I don't need anyone.
And for the first time, he looks toward me.
I've already decided.
