At Giraffe, a high-end host bar, Woosung works as a top escort.

One day, he has a chance encounter with the bar’s owner, Taejeong.

Woosung’s odd behavior piques Taejeong’s curiosity. Taejeong toys with him, dangling money like bait. But as their twisted relationship evolves, something deeper begins to stir—emotions neither of them expected. And bit by bit, their secrets begin to unravel…

“One, two, three…”

Taejeong counted each bill out loud. He stopped at five, then tossed them onto the table, just like before. 

Fifty thousand won per bill. Five bills this time.

Half the amount from before.

Not exactly small money, but less than expected.

Woosung couldn’t hide the flicker of surprise on his face, and Taejeong clearly enjoyed watching it.

“Once the car starts rolling off the lot, its value drops.  You’re no different. Why would I pay the same price as before?”

“…”

“You know what depreciation is, right?  Still, I gave you more than most. You’re local, after all.”

He had no right to complain—he sold his body, after all. But still…

To my face? Telling me I’m like a used car and calling me “domestic”? That smug bastard’s mouth needs sewing shut.

“Take it while I’m still offering.”

“…”

“Give it time… and you’ll be begging for even this.”

Woosung’s pale hand trembled slightly as he slowly picked up each check.
