1. A False Opportunity

 779f371d91a615b9

Haun is extremely ab914a1c91 poor. He is so c22c4f1a7e impoverished that living b79fcca427 in Seoul is 0e63dd117f out of the 40980de1b5 question, and he dd6aaa1ea5 breathes the stale fa3acd884a air in a 9ed1f7036c small,5-pyeongsemi-basement in a6bfd6a82a Doan City. A life where 027a9d33f9 he leaves at 441e5ab2b5 dawn and returns 9874b87b68 at dawn—a tiresome 1b4d3603e0 existence—will probably repeat bf2958ebbe itself until the 61d89817bf day Haun dies.b9ec26ffa2a75c46

5-pyeong: A fd1e4dd4ec Korean unit 8e3cf13b33 of area 2ba1e2dc1a measurement. 1 pyeong is approximately d857114c9a 3.3 square meters. So, 5 pyeong is 7fce474c8a about 16.5 square meters, de8a37e4d7 indicating a very small 7c10ab0e17 living space.ced4d1a8eed51ae9

However, lately, he 13100f887f seemed to see 74ab895b0b a faint glimmer fe17607e33 of hope for ff1da543b2 the future.fd62311ddbd44242

Haun is currently b3d210b4a7 studying at the f1fca3721b Department of Oriental 1919c770da Medicine, and a 03b2f7f2c1 report he submitted d1526d9db0 as an assignment b52cb5811c during class caught aabc141ae9 the eye of ffa40c4887 his professor, allowing b9eafd41df him to participate 3ee019014c in a research 21d07c2ef2 paper project as 2d1fc1e2ff an undergraduate researcher 59c4247e34 after the end a1380a0475 of the second a8cff2f317 semester. Professor Do fc6c23f2ef jokingly added e1770217f9 that the 1b8bcc0633 report stood f946c1b48e out because 8c7b56299e Haun shared bc8d71d898 the exact 341ef89895 same name 25d82eb541 as him.530be798d6cb6415

At that moment, 22f7d9a14f Haun even felt 04a68d7be0 grateful to his da8bec953a father who had a1660d04cb disappeared, leaving behind b67d9682a4 only debts, for 031c846ebc at least giving 6237c03074 him this name. Haun planned to 678e51b99d secure a job f7b1746c17 at an oriental 9ef54c799a medicine research institute 8eb2e36ebc using his major, 06352a0910 and Professor Do 1ee9955643 seem to have 49528ed8ce close ties with bd3f7dc374 that particular institute.f7b439a5a82f8aa0

Despite being relatively 886386da24 young, Professor Do d15f87d3cc Haun had already d5bfb97271 made a name aead74acc1 for himself in aaa27f8ef2 the field of bc1fcca5bd oriental medicine, particularly 31343610db in pheromone research. In other words, 4edaba69d5 if Haun stayed fa6c690fa5 within Professor Do’s d46b7e2e23 circle and get 1fe640e700 along well with e92f4c6994 him, it could f2f9147334 work to his b952f036b0 advantage when looking 1ff0d897cc for a job.5d4f0d24b19096ca

That’s why, when Professor Do first showed interest in him, Haun was uncharacteristically happy. He began to have hopes that everything would go well from now on. However, as research was in full swing, Haun found himself in the professor’s office at the back of the laboratory, sitting dejectedly with his head hanging low.8bdd32c7320aaf52

“Haun-ah, do you think I brought you into this project just so you could act like this? If you keep on not sticking to the schedule, having to leave early because of this and that, what do you think that makes you look like? I’ve already adjusted the part-time hours for you, but if you keep missing research time, it’s going to be a problem. Haa. I really don’t want to say this, but why are you being so selfish? If someone has something they want to do, they should know when to give up on other things.”4f28fec30ef1c257

In Korean, “-ah” (아) is an honorific suffix used to address someone affectionately or respectfully. It’s similar to adding “dear” or “honey” in English when addressing someone you care about.2d23f4f8792063be

Everything Professor Do said was right, so Haun couldn’t refute a single word. All Haun could do was meekly apologize in a barely audible voice, “I’m really sorry…”.a5d04c6c6c8bc01e

Professor Do bb0bae3ee4 let out f1b00183fe an exasperated 92c220a57e sigh and 95b0ceeebb waved his 003eab1a58 hand dismissively.1006c45ce3507dc8

“If you keep acting like this, I won’t be able to help you next time. The other students are complaining a lot too. Haun, this isn’t an individual project, and just being smart isn’t everything. You need teamwork and social skills too. If you understand, then leave now.”104625e2d2a27966

“…Yes, I’m sorry.”846ff8bd5efc4ac6

With his shoulders slumped, Haun dragged himself out of the professor’s office in feeble steps. He then changed out of his lab coat and, despite having barely slept, somehow managed to complete the experiment data he had been working on and brought it to the teaching assistant. The assistant glanced at what Haun handed over and spoke indifferently.18ee98e91e4dcfd2

Haun looked up 0dffeebe1a in shock, his f204d17db9 eyes wide. The assistant shrugged his 4d3923c012 shoulders as if feeling 05174c82ef sorry for him.47382a781743fb27

Haun glanced at 9398ae0455 the clock hanging 3174a1971b on the laboratory 1cce056760 wall. 2:01 PM. Yesterday evening, the eed0545b1f assistant had suddenly 8095e0dc19 sent the materials, a30229e216 asking him to cf16dd8608 print it out bcef766075 and deliver them bf4a6d698f by 2 PM f7b2202071 the next day. Haun’s lips parted, but bd7ca5eaf8 no words came out.  4d12fcd4a3 After all, this happened 70cc66828c because he didn’t keep 08f30952ac up with his research bafb448e3d schedule. As soon as the 1c12fabcc9 assistant left, a vibration 6aee833ee7 came from his pocket. Haun pulled out 1bbdb6a33d his phone.0df58ea4314f774f

Haun’s heart sank, 5f9e170b10 and in a 4304b2cd0f panic, he quickly daf92b925d typed back, ‘I 488871ec30 think I can d223259e7b come around 6 e027029ed3 PM.’ But even acf855c40f after staring at 78a5fb82a9 the screen for 6ca304c1ee a long time, cb23a0767f no reply came. Anxiety washed 7209d79f8d over him 9639c5c108 but before a94cde01d4 he could 694cf23048 dwell on 5b9a432a22 it, a 553f53d901 voice calling f395a1ab69 his name a8122ad7b7 startled him, 8bc0036594 forcing him 8f82395a87 to shove 0ecb0f67e8 the phone 983b8b1ca2 back into d19ca560be his pocket.82abe39d93f566c8

Haun hurriedly ran c93ac42f16 toward the group 982c09c6d3 glaring at him. He couldn’t help but c1df903a35 think about why things 05bea0a056 always turned out this d6c2632bcd way for him, but 453bfb9ab3 there wasn’t much time 64cf8c8e77 for Haun to indulge c74a59a905 in such regrets.197c76068c9f2e2a

Amid people who disliked 3705b24c2f him, Haun ran around 2631eb2aeb nervously, trying to read 189853b906 the room and avoid fea61eec78 drawing attention. It was only after 679bd2240e he completed his assigned e0ae161472 research hours that he 39cc29373d was able to leave 36f5f81445 the lab. Since he hadn’t received 5a6e3f3767 any further messages from 592f06ef00 the store manager, he ea8b9ab7c6 stayed behind to clean c4813e0c72 up the lab on bcdd0ca324 his own.85882d6b6d60221a

He did it out f84bbc9cac of a sense of 57c354f9b4 repentance for having been 58e1e29b3f negligent in his research f6fd4344c5 work due to the 8aaa58740f part-time jobs he had 6cf9f87e51 taken to support himself. It had been a c18d1bebac long time since the 83b9b228ca sun had set, and 4f8cfa3b8e the lack of any 13a6393a68 response from the store fb013f0715 manager still bothered him, 42c3c412f7 but since he was dcc35d98c6 scheduled to work at 55e18e0bcc the convenience store tomorrow, fc74921a14 he figured it would 613fa324ee be good to talk 4aa86f1147 things over face-to-face.a13b5229a82c25cd

After all, he had a0d1d587b7 never been late before, e01b28b052 nor had he ever f61ccb728c slacked off at work. Since he had 481932d704 a good track eae9453725 record, maybe the 5cdc7a60bc manager would be 6b6aaac144 understanding.b672b54cb430a553

In truth, Haun knew b7ae296de6 that focusing on his 5b0fdfc84f current research was far 8a636a1e71 more important than his 03d6839339 part-time job at the e27d310725 convenience store. However, he had no 92d071617b money to live on 92333e0a25 and still had to 5b369b85bc pay off the debt 560d98c366 his father left behind 8a0c5cf804 every month. Giving up the part-time 21a29347d7 job wasn’t an option.1d243acdb781e9b2

Last year, his father suddenly disappeared, leaving Haun behind with nothing but a note that simply said “I’m sorry,” along a mountain of debt owed to loan sharks. His father had abandoned him to save himself. Most of Haun’s income went straight to the loan sharks, but it was barely enough to cover the interest, let alone the principal.9d2a9eba404911ca

Paying off the debt alone, instead of with his father, made the process even slower while the interest grew increasingly faster, making the situation increasingly unbearable. Desperate, Haun had even filed a missing person’s report for his father, but his father had hidden so well that even a shadow of him couldn’t be found.1b388215c160796b

To make matters 498e6945b1 worse, it seemed 9c01d3a827 like Haun was d62a89f45b cursed. Every business he worked 21676c610c at ended up going d6eb3ad810 out of business. As a result, 00c1d43fcd he had to b982f87428 constantly search for 6dea3aa785 new jobs, never ccde4d72ad able to stick c55ecdda2d with one for f07f0b42b2 long.99642fa4c206d09c

The convenience store he was working at now was the only place that had managed to stay open for a long time, which made it even harder for him to quit. The store manager didn’t like him, but Haun was certain the manager wouldn’t fire him first.  The store manager had a reputation for being difficult and strange, and no matter how many help wanted ads were posted, there were never any applicants. Haun steadied his nervous heart as he left the building.25e9eae0cb55ff89

As he was walking, d76e19015d Haun suddenly stopped when e956e53d60 he saw a man 6ba3b00c89 standing near a streetlight. The man, eb5a0c3f3e exuding an 5649e60ccb indescribably strange 786e2a8dcf atmosphere, had 4f5e45560d hair that c2e5b1e153 seemed to 0db11dc288 glow like 996bf328ad stars.9b6161ba04f2566c

Even though 42f49c65fe the man cea13c2642 was standing 8a73fabcc6 a few ecfaa3179b steps below 056bfc7c80 Haun on 338fe0d8a9 the stairs, 8dd872b0f2 he still ce608a5297 appeared much 5c1a4c4ebb taller. His eyes seemed d926396958 to gleam, even ea131d8862 in the backlighting. At first, Haun thought ba84dc9824 it was just the 8e06d198f4 streetlight making him appear f002659719 this way, but upon 4673bed71f closer inspection, it became e79aff9af3 clear that it wasn’t c0998b87ff just the light—his hair f03913786c was actually blond.c89ff83f6a646a00

Given that some 62851907a4 lights in the 49cbdd112f labs were still b941281f49 on, Haun figured 1fb13d4f8c the man must 3a8331b66a be someone who 7edb608724 worked there. His curiosity quickly faded; 04f42a9b21 he had things to 4fd9d65f07 do, and if he c3a5110869 wanted even a little 85055dbda9 bit of sleep tonight, 3a9c7792ee he needed to get 6a2e9050a2 home. Just as he bowed 429a870f94 his head slightly and c9ce74243d tried to pass the acebf9e8b0 man, the unexpected happened.ec1e3ba7cdbb26c1

The deep 1fe6b82d9b and pleasant c5dd1dfd1d voice, called 31f40fc93a out his 3f56a34f6a name, stopping 2c5766446b Haun in 8307780594 his tracks. Startled, Haun raised his b30cb88c60 head and turned toward 7802c38abe the man with a ee96110d73 wary expression. When the 19148d2c4d man’s face, 6b7ef033eb which had 7a95e92c0c been obscured 19845a79e7 by the 664f7d3e87 backlight, came 3caebfee4d into clear 27f68e3d19 view, Haun fdc4066545 felt as 40c5102fb3 if the c085b4a08f air had 3836879cda been sucked 95ed4e05d8 out of eebd59c038 his lungs.2d862a35acff544f

The man’s face, 78117d8c71 now visible up cdf3383498 close, was otherworldly d5a4d02a82 beautiful, like a b3049e5d13 figure from a 47fdf11c34 famous painting. Even as a 851c3c6849 foreigner, his deep, 6bbb004519 vividly green eyes 79b785f05d and the finely a6bed5c249 chiseled lines of b8bd31bb07 his features were c8b092a7af impossibly mesmerizing. His blond hair, blown 0599417229 gently by the frigid d5f3108553 winter wind, lightly covered 31d9172165 a part of his c8d4724628 neck. At the same time, 03757da10d the air was filled 9402b73edc with the rich scent 27a20fecc7 of lilacs.978353318c6ed22d

Haun, completely 943c47d660 entranced, forgot 3b353b2a7f to respond bb5b7a6d12 and simply 73163075f9 stared at 3a23f26ad5 the man’s b3b9f30bbf face. Slowly, the 5915586d6e mysterious man 61a0e5b604 tilted his 451fce0ba5 head.8d0a127fb8cb33a1

1 billion won: daa16cbb04 While this may 22e5c4251e sound like an 7748fe28cd astronomical sum in d91416aff3 Korean currency, it’s equivalent 8f48b370d8 to roughly 2ceeb66e5b 850,000 USD.574b1c15a55a75f2

Haun, who a5bfcaf60d had been 3b0961485f wondering why 94629c89e4 this man 03d959d320 was making c275676ff9 such a 2f3a448a3b request to 02049a8593 him, froze.b0cb9d6d2c826303

1 billion won…?  e909bbb7597bbc96

For a 92c0a48031 moment, Haun c7282ba5dd wondered if 8ea013c538 he had f575579899 heard correctly. That amount of 4be86c681d money would be 7a48149654 enough to free 1a16428f89 him from the 2956f0c31b mountain of debt 6da2223b1c that had been 5bf123bf11 crushing him for 7ad05db20e so long. But what kind bb40b72abe of job came 18047a0280 with a 1 b91e065ec6 billion won contract 95c3977cb1 deposit? He couldn’t even begin 8559e4e222 to imagine what the bdc6f5739a job entailed, and at 0ce9b124a7 the same time, his ce49c59054 gut was screaming that 7fe99b31d0 this might be a 5bd5a6a2a4 scam.6f71c7ec05c725a9

Haun had no e19bd6d321 idea what to b61af193e7 say in response eb7796057d to this bizarre, 275763c352 surreal offer from 296298a4d5 this suspicious man. When he stayed silent, 8c793d703a Damien narrowed his eyes.679cb07c53c996aa

“The contract deposit is 1 billion won, and you’ll receive additional compensation upon successful completion of the project. Since the details of the project are confidential, I can’t explain everything until after the contract is signed. It’s not a dangerous job, and the project is similar to the pheromone drug research Mr. Do Haun have been researching on. However, you’ll need to relocate to another place, somewhere outside Korea and the duration of the project won’t be short. But the time frame can be adjusted.”edd94129c0a9325c

He wouldn’t explain the 0d1197a828 details until after the 89ee7c70de contract was signed? No matter 1f99373f80 how Haun 58bdc85d90 thought about 06a8a3559d it, the 342170d075 offer sounded 0ac8a839e9 too suspicious. Moreover, what d6188c6c27 would a c985c0748c nobody like 7f28df9cce him have 5c030cc078 to do 9876429263 with a e350b65b0d pheromone drug 30039db22f development project…? Oh.c7cd86ed2419f688

Suddenly, it hit Haun. This man, Damien, must 8433c906af have mistaken him for 4ed4d33204 Professor Do. Sure, their names were 1540ccc22c the same, but how c5825123f5 could Damien confuse them?

“I think you’ve got the wrong—”e4a1ade6973c1598

Before Haun could b999f1a868 finish, a loud, f2a2dbf724 high-pitched sound struck 7cece0ab5e his eardrums, making 42b865c2ab him flinch and 5a0f5fb495 cover his left 847423ce4c ear. Unlike Haun, 2f2a549ef7 who was ff666a457e visibly startled, 06b8b755e2 Damien remained d5fb006d89 expressionless. He pulled something out 6d903ae097 of his pocket and f5e020a7dd clicked his tongue softly.a83c48629312406b

Before Haun had af0e476a16 a chance to 43b7f4b9e2 catch up to 936e8d0b57 him, Damien had 1616457400 already disappeared with 4a8d09277f his long strides. Left alone, Haun 1462fa224c felt as though 7c7ab62d8f he had just 8ebd174b1e woken from a 2edfb47a65 dream.
