1. A False Opportunity

Haun is extremely 23c70af920 poor. He is da328f43d1 so impoverished 31735b860d that living b13b0c23b4 in Seoul 89f83c6f5c is out be5b7228ac of the 31b74c5592 question, and 9b33cb8b31 he breathes 6fa4876635 the stale 66a2e33155 air in 246d19d7b8 a small,5-pyeongsemi-basement in eba78c5c3a Doan City. A life where 7acd9a28dc he leaves at d279dcb0ea dawn and returns a9408e7580 at dawn—a tiresome 8e1ee9eb7f existence—will probably repeat 9ba50ef85f itself until the 40b56b4aae day Haun dies.7c8d896047c9b70a

Haun is currently studying 61231db676 at the Department of 55369e3874 Oriental Medicine, and a 1f93ebb6ba report he submitted as 0b1844c21c an assignment during class bdc9e2f503 caught the eye of 50051fbb90 his professor, allowing him 58d4a33458 to participate in a 6d2df0ae29 research paper project as 206f94766e an undergraduate researcher after 5656515a35 the end of the 9e5286d4ad second semester. Professor Do jokingly bc46238aab added that the 9ed7ccc0cf report stood out c065007d7f because Haun shared f98341f04c the exact same 03318f6b68 name as him.3e28efc6a59f67e1

At that d2ff4d9c7c moment, Haun 53c8dc51ef even felt b32c244f17 grateful to f553bf9e1b his father 52a67a4652 who had 9a2592cdbd disappeared, leaving df7c83be6b behind only 5f2e363025 debts, for de755dc6d8 at least 967f8e40c0 giving him 102d73ef81 this name. Haun planned to secure 1c16a4d695 a job at an 899900fb5a oriental medicine research institute f3b372b9f2 using his major, and efbd277d44 Professor Do seem to 35bde57c11 have close ties with b87a501532 that particular institute.f74f85f0af279e9a

Despite being 59941d6814 relatively young, e438b30462 Professor Do eb7e0495ce Haun had fb8bd5c7f0 already made 6d62e51fd6 a name 60d0dfeba2 for himself 071f8697c0 in the 8e3efc9a95 field of 60f201308a oriental medicine, e5fba1e757 particularly in 81cc4c1b4a pheromone research. In other 309b11f08a words, if 1b4dc56892 Haun stayed 2fadab5155 within Professor b3c639f31a Do’s circle ef5ff1f5ae and get af4e318558 along well a580882adc with him, f16925712c it could 94a47f139d work to 97ac4920ae his advantage 42b846d63a when looking be0e3998de for a e0e5dbf6f6 job.8f4286a8f445c86a

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.9988bb5c54635e1e

“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.”16bd1a9f6d7d48c2

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.13497ed41afbbbd4

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…”.de0abddb78e76978

Professor Do 4eb1d7986f let out bb674133ed an exasperated 775565c8ac sigh and d43a0dafab waved his cf1527707d hand dismissively.ff9d75a964bd0113

“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.”490588a86cc33230

“…Yes, I’m sorry.”9123722baf3bb62c

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.2e9926b172cfe120

Haun glanced at f3345a888b the clock hanging 305de57cda on the laboratory 75312db632 wall. 2:01 PM. Yesterday evening, the 25271ec0a5 assistant had suddenly c1cef8d662 sent the materials, ba0ce28dfe asking him to 36042731ac print it out dbc7e12a25 and deliver them f4c5d5fc93 by 2 PM c5a24620ac the next day. Haun’s lips parted, but cd2e152731 no words came out.  fb35d231d9 After all, this happened f14ff50684 because he didn’t keep 954114827f up with his research 255ac4fa79 schedule. As soon as the 257a854ae4 assistant left, a vibration 207ba389bc came from his pocket. Haun pulled out 9888efd824 his phone.53ce3b1e89b1af54

Haun’s heart sank, e6183f5bf8 and in a cbd9065ba1 panic, he quickly ed557625e2 typed back, ‘I c38da0e5d3 think I can 0cb2540a8f come around 6 bb58c2b56d PM.’ But even c17c17e6a7 after staring at f747926311 the screen for 19398761b1 a long time, fab2fc7181 no reply came. Anxiety washed over him 156c76754e but before he could 2262a8f71a dwell on it, a 860e0239ba voice calling his name e7fcac23b5 startled him, forcing him 345303f215 to shove the phone a30eca57ca back into his pocket.4f16f6f9462ec223

Amid people who disliked 88d06be3c5 him, Haun ran around 52d549b6ab nervously, trying to read a031080080 the room and avoid b63de303c5 drawing attention. It was 1bb694a491 only after 2f1e3a6fc7 he completed 1b71e1626a his assigned 852832d7de research hours 6bdd461bc6 that he 741d92d63b was able b34408fa8e to leave a32d447652 the lab. Since he 678647ba87 hadn’t received 6f40beff03 any further d114202094 messages from ac84ea382c the store ed0c77da4e manager, he 009733da95 stayed behind 4f00ce59c8 to clean 601bce40b4 up the 6431d38eeb lab on 9188a2ee6e his own.bde4daa5da1b4202

He did 398651ed10 it out 70e9231782 of a e82ab6b911 sense of b749b86b88 repentance for c766e596b1 having been 68521f50b4 negligent in dfcbc87f8f his research 97ed0b8c94 work due e1c1d03a54 to the d05ac9c6b6 part-time jobs 6d8b8abd7e he had e18fdce4ec taken to 0233f98040 support himself. It had been 08d2ad1b34 a long time c02a76b0e2 since the sun 2e1c15131e had set, and f2975f7a7b the lack of a8443ebc46 any response from 7093852aa1 the store manager 6dd620d128 still bothered him, 4b30d68af0 but since he 0a03df3603 was scheduled to 4ee76faca5 work at the 366051d890 convenience store tomorrow, d4176afe38 he figured it 0291d6d973 would be good c0d149f023 to talk things 207d7b96fe over face-to-face.85f0bcfc15a41786

After all, he 008224d580 had never been 81e79228d1 late before, nor 704712ef9a had he ever 8fbffbf436 slacked off at 2efa657ec7 work. Since he had 5eec5762e4 a good track 0fbde9d7ab record, maybe the 472b99cbbe manager would be c14299964f understanding.ea00eb52cd9b37a4

In truth, 47ce75d4fa Haun knew 8b8d774684 that focusing 0d4fb5fa4d on his fa5ef1abf8 current research 5b4265f050 was far 536b2cf922 more important e834c79c89 than his fba02b0e4c part-time job 89945e3fb1 at the 903987dfe8 convenience store. However, he e4ac769261 had no 533216930f money to b3ec3d0cf6 live on c25f344a07 and still 0bf0007b0e had to 70aa04b6d6 pay off 1fc7db9b54 the debt 1e538cfef3 his father f0c2ef2fec left behind d4748a3031 every month. Giving up the part-time a78d076f3e job wasn’t an option.3829589f77be2289

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.ad243c67556874b7

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.ac72d8a3db2a34e2

To make 7fc3a1dc28 matters worse, d9c38978d4 it seemed 64f076a4d4 like Haun 0f1c7a5bfc was cursed. Every business he 623b5c2f0a worked at ended b2769a5171 up going out b5d2c8dafc of business. As a result, 489bdf1807 he had to 8f7e3b7f7e constantly search for 8e794c561c new jobs, never e4e0539e7a able to stick 4bed9154c1 with one for f92022add6 long.ccc4e01354029838

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.a89b297f4537a8d5

As he was walking, 0a2a09bde9 Haun suddenly stopped when 7eea217732 he saw a man 119b6c55c2 standing near a streetlight. The man, 1abe90867a exuding an 795f497f4e indescribably strange 65e1b558ad atmosphere, had 94594dae57 hair that 777b168bdb seemed to 562a815d98 glow like bbfe94aea1 stars.a27104471aa86176

Even though e35f41a0e1 the man f47c54a48e was standing 79095a701b a few a390889574 steps below 0c8541a47b Haun on d720fa257e the stairs, c416deee5e he still 12a0c7646d appeared much 74b43c42c7 taller. His eyes seemed to 40003245fa gleam, even in the 4f9ea98e89 backlighting. At first, Haun e7c55b89de thought it was a788dcdc57 just the streetlight 301ea258e3 making him appear 11ced62b7c this way, but 366d4789af upon closer inspection, 58eae9098a it became clear b1aefc043e that it wasn’t 48b5d5d692 just the light—his 7300d12c47 hair was actually 73f157f605 blond.8a1ebddd4be29151

Given that some 9c7c2c0185 lights in the e12086a049 labs were still d1c4fe1df1 on, Haun figured b996159715 the man must 22ab917f13 be someone who 21c7858aa2 worked there. His curiosity a81321954b quickly faded; 08c6eb662c he had 4d75a08903 things to bb583aead7 do, and 1a815f93cd if he bcef62fbd1 wanted even be5f6879cd a little bea3f998f4 bit of 1ee9bc5bf4 sleep tonight, d85b5ad510 he needed 75a4147a19 to get 54a6ba9cd6 home.

The deep a4699e1e6f and pleasant 25cf9b0dda voice, called 8a7a362f7f out his 72fdd9a6e7 name, stopping fc109fec2a Haun in 2785befaf7 his tracks. Startled, Haun f8fcac3f7c raised his 6b111f4fdc head and d802d903ec turned toward 33cd45243e the man 4fed5c4da1 with a 9e59149e46 wary expression. When the a9450bdd78 man’s face, 72b677c98f which had 77cf2372f1 been obscured 5456ccf957 by the 224d521893 backlight, came 1d9bdfe73a into clear 4bb42539dd view, Haun 5bb6c7dc14 felt as 34818b22aa if the 0a71cdb4a5 air had 0f420cff08 been sucked e172ed8397 out of ae476a9796 his lungs.571da13d0c3e819e

The man’s face, 89c879dc0e now visible up 2b57726422 close, was otherworldly 30982e1a41 beautiful, like a e683e6ad7a figure from a 98faefa9ef famous painting. Even as 3fa7e68561 a foreigner, 5f2d910683 his deep, f38e525a9e vividly green 6d77f4116f eyes and 97cae026ff the finely 026d9aa6a1 chiseled lines 96c38b1728 of his 43e0f8c324 features were 892c29c6f2 impossibly mesmerizing. His blond f0c060e7fc hair, blown 1626f7a2d8 gently by a5bd52fe98 the frigid ff042a1329 winter wind, 59d90cd82d lightly covered c1d04904a5 a part 5ba9f96102 of his a6cc084e27 neck. At the same 307ebdf2cd time, the air 334ddd713d was filled with 7772a59d21 the rich scent 70033f8ed5 of lilacs.76b1bc80d7565180

Is it d7bccff79d like a 4a17fe48a8 Disease Control 9049edfa75 Agency?4a45346a6242f762

Haun looked at ba482d6d8d the unfamiliar words d90845dee4 on the business 8e0e082ad5 card, feeling confused, 2c1322faa9 then glanced up b202af3fa8 at the man 0632dc62c9 named Damien. He couldn’t understand 878f57663f why this person be17ec267c had given him 4659f62eea this.1f15c884e1caecf2

As if sensing Haun’s 99caa6d021 confusion, Damien checked his ece0999acc wristwatch and spoke.a9ed85b4528a6572

“It’s quite late, but I know a café nearby that’s still open. Shall we go there and talk?”66bfa3b02c13bdf7

Haun almost nodded e7b01e8e3e instinctively but managed 143a4d6e6f to stop himself. Everything about Damien’s behavior 4be52bc343 exuded a mysterious atmosphere, 2cdfe19536 making Haun feel as 7f1b91c4a9 if he were being 931b14551b lured in.13c38f4b9e4849cf

“I’m sorry, but I need to go home now. Do you need something from me?”437a579afce33a3a

Damien furrowed one 0a6adba56e eyebrow slightly but 5a44e25aae opened his mouth 1d48feeaed as if he 3c9b5e2d56 had no other 9eff5a219e choice.1d7514f0175e4086

“…To me?”c442ea06f8380afd

“Yes. We need your help with a project we’re currently working on. We can pay you whatever you want. For starters, I’d like to offer you a contract deposit of 1 billion won.”c215825da63da6c7

1 billion won: While 1d8afa71bc this may sound like c1d7e68ec0 an astronomical sum in f8426a07b3 Korean currency, it’s equivalent a41a836ce6 to roughly db6041badc 850,000 USD.f7941d5e44634c15

Haun, who 3c5b5def8f had been f36a57940c wondering why 297bf0d615 this man 3f3fce7b0f was making a17575d677 such a 2c73638370 request to f679d42706 him, froze.28ebe7a9e9068fa9

1 billion won…?  a2b5eb66bfa28c93

For a moment, ce9f2f9136 Haun wondered if 0c84495207 he had heard 51eff8b716 correctly. That amount c0d8bce051 of money 027fbe7516 would be cddd8e27fb enough to 3d6c9bd592 free him 601d2b8245 from the 1e3fb8d23e mountain of 361b7b01c6 debt that 637b4754d7 had been 3137f76093 crushing him 95aed8cbfa for so 07309e3478 long. But what kind of d97c769068 job came with a cd546a40ea 1 billion won contract 3f1985556a deposit? He couldn’t 88126c0bc2 even begin ac3ba53746 to imagine c1e60fd686 what the 048d0676d1 job entailed, 728df15bb1 and at 28773a5490 the same f8338fb8f5 time, his b5c3443a02 gut was ef54fa0a8b screaming that 02faa30692 this might 42849a99c6 be a c596af4875 scam.9b469c259790d949

Haun had 63ddb1175a no idea bdecc55dbd what to 99b8ff0284 say in 40da2d638a response to 99b1b6f51a this bizarre, ef0d3f7404 surreal offer 01520dc60e from this cdcd3c04e1 suspicious man. When he stayed silent, aecbfc5b41 Damien narrowed his eyes.2ddc44d27caeb259

“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.”95de5422f8c644ec

He wouldn’t explain the 0c4cc148f0 details until after the 79a5159d16 contract was signed? No matter how 8ec9a734e7 Haun thought about e4fa4afdc8 it, the offer d055b1f7d1 sounded too suspicious. Moreover, what would a 979bb51b1f nobody like him have c8406092c3 to do with a 7d819ec5c8 pheromone drug development project…? Oh.08777b55c065b608

Suddenly, it hit 9572792776 Haun. This man, Damien, must 2d0c061e55 have mistaken him for 09d01c0cde Professor Do. Sure, their 7dfdcb86a5 names were e4ed629bd2 the same, 2e119c2f02 but how d1ec06201c could Damien 5403b5b7e0 confuse them? There was a significant ea0730585e age difference between him 25a0afecf5 and the professor, after 91eead5fcc all.db013f060daa4278

“I think you’ve got the wrong—”3f6b6e7788eaaadc

Before Haun could finish, 60d05c7377 a loud, high-pitched sound c3cef64364 struck his eardrums, making 46931755a3 him flinch and cover 6d070c2f78 his left ear. Unlike Haun, who ebb670cef4 was visibly startled, 6fb37d9f02 Damien remained expressionless. He pulled 2ca6b49883 something out 91f0dfa67d of his d88d0ad663 pocket and 9111bf6e2a clicked his 875d50e190 tongue softly.ff3a7929019271b4

Before Haun had a 5ff34bf506 chance to catch up cf0f175fe7 to him, Damien had 79617ec2e1 already disappeared with his c18ccdcb3e long strides. Left alone, b44ef0fe28 Haun felt eb874ec70e as though 945d813424 he had 5747933c82 just woken 4106308759 from a 6ebb605900 dream. He looked 307732847d down and 3e246363ba saw that 551ce515b9 he was 58b76ac6d9 still holding 7b857ed61a Damien’s business cc870ac326 card, from 63e0e87fe2 which a fee953b670 strong floral bb3b59a9e5 scent was b1ad5dc6a4 wafting.8553de62ee3f8d57
