SU | Chapter 1.1
by RAELife that is 80% doubtful is unfortunate. Tragically, Yoo Han had been a child of mystery from birth, so misfortune always orbited him like a satellite.
“What is this….”
Yoo Han hurriedly kicked off his shoes and entered the room. The floor of the studio felt as cold as a sheet of ice through his grey socks, jolting him awake with the unexpected chill.

“…Let’s not do this, okay?”
The room was a total mess. The heating was off, and the window was wide open, with clothes and blankets strewn all over in disarray.

If only it had been a real thief. Yoo Han could tell right away that all of this was Kim Minjae’s doing, looking at the wrecked single room.
“This… bastard.”

Yoo Han muttered curses he couldn’t normally say, clutching his pounding chest as he rummaged through the room. The scan didn’t take long. It was just a small room that barely fit two adults when lying down.
“Please.”

A small wooden drawer, normally locked with a key, was open. Yoo Han held the mini-drawer upside down in both hands and shook it out. Bastard Kim Minjae had taken every single won of Yoo Han’s entire fortune of 5 million won, not leaving even a single 10,000 won bill behind.
But what Yoo Han was looking for wasn’t the money. His mother’s only keepsake, a ring, was nowhere to be seen.

“Please, please, please.”
He searched the wardrobe, the unlikely bathroom, and rummaged through the kitchen cabinets, but the ring was nowhere to be found. Yoo Han’s face contorted like crumpled paper with anger.

“It’s not even real gold, it’s 14k, why…!”
The bastard not only stole the money but had also taken his mother’s keepsake, a simple 14k gold ring that wouldn’t even sell for much. Yoo Han’s knees collapsed from the weightlessness. It was the first bout of misfortune since his mother’s death.

Yoo Han sat crouched in a corner of the room, sent dozens of messages, and frantically made phone calls to him. Kim Minjae didn’t answer the phone, perhaps having blocked his number, thankfully not showing up as a nonexistent number.
After about an hour, Yoo Han roughly tousled his hair, realizing all this effort was futile. He left the house straight away. His destination was a police station about a 20-minute walk away.

The officer looked at the young man who had come late at night and asked.
“What brings you here?”

Instead of answering, Yoo Han looked around. Three men, including the police officer in front of him, were looking at him with curious eyes. Perhaps due to the dawn, the inside of the station was unusually quiet. Yoo Han picked at the cuticles of his nails slowly and opened his mouth.
“I came to report… stolen money and valuables.”

“Excuse me? Your money disappeared?”
“Yes.”

The officer sat down and pulled out a pen.

“I came home and found the place trashed. It looks like someone stole the money and ran off. And he’s not answering his phone.”
“So, he’s someone you know?”

“Yes… a housemate.”
The officer tilted his head.

“Sir. What is the relationship with your housemate? If it’s a family member and the amount is small, it could be difficult to file a theft report.”
“He wasn’t family.”

“So, was he a friend?”
Yoo Han chewed on his lips, holding off on an answer. How should he describe his relationship with Kim Minjae? The man who had run off with his entire fortune and his mother’s keepsake was technically not a friend, not family, but his lover. Although, given the crappy way they parted, perhaps ex-lover was more accurate.

“Sir?”
The officer waved his hand gently as Yoo Han seemed to zone out, prompting a small voice from him.

“…Just an acquaintance.”
The officer set down the pen and began typing. Yoo Han calmly reported the amount and items stolen, and when the officer asked exactly what was stolen, Yoo Han responded it was a 14k gold ring, and somewhere, a snicker was heard.

Leaving the station, Yoo Han walked along the yellow sidewalk tiles. The situation didn’t seem like it would resolve easily.
‘In cases like this, there’s over an 80% chance it gets classified as a civil matter, so it’s likely to be dismissed without charges. Plus, it’s not like it’s a stranger but a housemate, and with no CCTV inside the house, it’s nearly…. I’ll file it at the ○○○ Police Station for now. Without physical evidence like now, it’s even hard to assign it to the criminal department.’

Even without expectations, hearing the police’s words made his stomach turn twice over. And amidst this, he felt a weird sense of shame for not being able to openly discuss his relationship with the thief.

[Seoul○○○Police Station] Your case [file number: 2022-0000] has been registered by Investigator ㅁㅁㅁ at the ㅁㅁ2 Police Station.
Staring blankly at the hopeless text message, Yoo Han’s stomach rumbled loudly. He hadn’t eaten anything since morning. Even in such dire straits, he couldn’t help but laugh at himself for not crying.

He fiddled with the check card in his pocket and headed to the 24-hour convenience store across the street. How much was left? Maybe about 60,000 won….
As he entered the store, Yoo Han picked up the cheapest cup noodles on display without a second thought. He would have liked to grab a triangle kimbap too, but even a single 1,000 won was too precious now.

After paying, Yoo Han sat at a table attached to the convenience store’s glass wall. A sleek black sedan parked on the quiet road in the early dawn hours. Absentmindedly watching the scene outside, he tore apart a pair of wooden chopsticks and stirred the noodles. The spicy aroma made his mouth water, but as the flour settled in his empty stomach, he quickly felt bloated.
While sipping the broth reluctantly, his gaze landed on something on the table.

It was a business card, carelessly strewn at the edge of the table. The gaudy yellow card featured tacky special characters and a blurry background depicting a woman crouched in deep thought.

Yoo Han pulled the card towards him with his left index finger, mesmerized. Even someone with no sense of aesthetics like Yoo Han could tell it was the worst design ever.
“Swindled… money retrieval…. Locate….”

Just then, someone sat down next to him. The smell of alcohol and some harsh perfume hit Yoo Han’s nose hard. He casually pushed the card away and sneaked a glance at the man next to him. The man with a neat appearance was frowning as he rummaged through his pockets.
“…Damn it. Did my phone grow legs?”

Yoo Han was about to look away when he was startled by the crude swear that escaped the man’s lips. Damn it. His skill at stretching out curses was not ordinary.
In a moment, Yoo Han blinked, forgetting that he had been secretly watching the man. The man, cursing under his breath, had a smooth and tidy face, quite unlike his previous demeanor. He brushed back his fallen bangs and slightly leaned back in the convenience store chair. The top few buttons of his white shirt were undone, and his sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, giving him a slightly irritated look. Despite all that, he was undeniably handsome.

Yoo Han turned his gaze back to the view beyond the glass window. Even though it was early winter, winter was still winter, and the man was only wearing a shirt. Curious about the relatively few items of clothing, Yoo Han kept sneaking glances at the man reflected in the window. In front of the man were a cup of noodles, two triangle kimbaps, and an ion drink.
“Hey.” The man suddenly spoke up. Startled by his deep voice, Yoo Han gripped his chopsticks tightly.

“Hey, you.”
Yoo Han kept his head low and stirred his noodles. Being entangled with a drunk, no matter how handsome, was not something he wanted. He tried to ignore the call and kept his eyes fixed on the ramen container. Then, a tapping sound on the glass window followed.

“…….”
It was a clear provocation. Yoo Han sighed secretly and slowly turned his face to the side. The man, not stopping his tapping on the window, looked at Yoo Han askance.

“Acting all sneaky like a mouse.”
Why did misfortune always come all at once? Yoo Han held his breath and bit his lip hard. His eyes looked like they could roll down tears at any moment.

“It’s not, I wasn’t sneaking.”
“Not sneaking.”

The man mimicked Yoo Han’s words with a chuckle. Despite starting the fight, his face quickly lost its tension. Seeing Yoo Han’s small, unthreatening appearance had clearly sapped him of his will to continue.
As Yoo Han’s eyes darted around, he noticed the man’s suit jacket lying on the floor.

“I was just trying to tell you your jacket fell on the floor!” he blurted.
The man slowly blinked at him. “Really? How considerate.”

His gaze shifted to the business card near Yoo Han’s hand.
“…If you’re already meddling, why not pick it up for me?”

“Why should I?” Yoo Han stammered, the stranger’s unexpectedly audacious attitude throwing him off.
“If you pick it up, I’ll give you this.”

The man tossed a triangle kimbap onto the table as if he were doing charity. Yoo Han stared at the innocent kimbap in disbelief, his mouth watering despite himself.
“Ahjussi, if you’re going to give it—”

Yoo Han sighed and bent under the table to retrieve the man’s suit jacket. As he did, the scent he caught earlier wafted to his nose again—a sharp, cologne-like smell reminiscent of a blue glass bottle.
“Here.”

He tossed the jacket onto the man’s lap, his gesture more of a protest than a favor. The man let out a dry laugh as if he couldn’t believe the audacity.
“I’ll swap it for tuna mayo, then.”

Yoo Han, unwilling to wait for the man, swapped the kimbap himself. He hadn’t intended to buy more than instant ramen to save money, but luck had gifted him an extra snack. Life might be a series of misfortunes, but Yoo Han had a knack for turning them into small wins.
The man, now lazily tearing the triangle kimbap wrapper, glanced at Yoo Han’s side profile. He didn’t seem to be eating for himself; instead, his body language shifted entirely toward observing Yoo Han.

“Why are you holding onto that errand center card?” he asked out of the blue.
Startled, Yoo Han paused and turned to look at him. The man, despite his earlier drunken demeanor, now seemed completely sober.

“If you just happened to pick it up, put it back where you found it. Stop fiddling with it.”
