Chapter 1: Prologue

Chapter 1: Prologue

In a night illuminated by neon signs, Hyun-seok looked at the woman in front of him with an expression of annoyance.

I mean, come on. I know its impossible, but just you are so pretty in my eyes.

Dont say that. Its embarrassing

The woman hit Hyun-seoks arm and looked down shyly, but didnt seem to be feeling bad about it.

Its not a problem to be embarrassed. The problem is that youre too pretty.

Hyun-seok spoke in a tone of annoyance, but his eyes were very gentle. At least thats how the woman perceived it.

Im tired of doing this.

But Hyun-seoks sincerity was not there. He couldnt even remember the womans name, although he heard it earlier. Was it Su-hee?

In fact, it had been about four years since Hyun-seok started this behavior to hunt for and seduce women he found attractive on the street or in bars, get their contact information, gain their favor, and eventually take them to bed. At first, it was fun to seduce women and make love, but now he didnt feel that kind of enjoyment anymore.

So, dont smile so beautifully like that. Look at me, everyone is staring at you.

No, its not like that at all. Please lower your voice. Geez.

After talking to the woman for a few moments, Hyun-seok could roughly guess her personality. Depending on her actions, the method of seduction, using more polite and gentle words, was almost the same. Only the details of the conversation changed.

But its really hot. Do you want to watch a movie comfortably with the air conditioning on at my place?

At your place?

Yeah. Its hot here and comfortable there.

Boring.

As a result, rather than delving deeply into everything, he had experienced various things without being passionate or dedicated to anything, now at the age of 29. In his student days, he had a goal of getting a job and lived fiercely. He had no time to feel bored. So, he studied hard and obtained qualifications as an electrical contractor, and he got a job at KEPCO, which was the best among public corporations, with excellent grades in his major interview. That was good. It was good to have a stable job, and it was also good to have a translation part-time job that provided a decent income.

As life became stable and his financial situation improved, everything became peaceful and comfortable. However, he no longer had the same intensity as before. He was just a little better off and a man who lived day by day without a goal.

Hyun-seok stroked the womans hair and brushed her bangs aside, looking into her eyes and speaking in a gentle voice.

Youre pretty.

Like a programmed machine, he skillfully continued the conversation and made her feel loved, even though it might be an illusion. It was something he was very familiar with and natural at. It was like breathing to him. Even the process of breaking up was very easy for him.

By gradually doing things that she disliked, delaying contact little by little, and slowly making her dislike him, he could make her hate him completely. From a womans perspective, it was a completely despicable thing to do, but in reality, it was not so. The woman did not feel shocked or sad in the process of breaking up with Hyun-seok. In that regard, Hyun-seok had talent and had practiced a lot. The way to break up naturally and not contact was as easy for him as the way to seduce a woman.

This is really boring.

However, now that familiarity and naturalness had become tedium.

And then, from that day.

Hyun-seoks everyday life was completely shattered.
