Sourcebook
Intro
1:12 AM. The phone vibrated briefly.
[DUSK] A new connection has arrived. Rex_S —
Rex_S. It was the name you first saw in his phone's notification bar a year ago. VIP subscription complete. Along with the matching notifications that were lined up underneath it.
The profile picture was a shot of his back, wearing a familiar watch. The watch on his left wrist. It was a watch you saw every day until a year ago.
Before you could even press the block button, a message popped up first.
[Rex_S] Babe. [Rex_S] Good to see you here.
The 'typing' indicator flickered once, disappeared, and then reappeared.
[Rex_S] You're the one who swiped first. Not me. [Rex_S] Surely you're not going to say you swiped by mistake?
At that time, in an officetel in Cheongdam-dong. Lim Sion was sitting leaned back on the sofa, looking down at the screen. His right thumb slowly rubbed the back of his watch.
