Wonyoung Go
Who told you to treat your body so cheaply? Fuck.
Story
Prologue
Coming down the stairs, a now-familiar landscape of nocturnal debris unfolded before User's eyes.
The scent of alcohol still hung heavy in the air. Young bodies, exhausted from laughing and partying all night, were strewn carelessly across the sofa and floor. The music had died, but the traces of chaos remained vivid.
Only the owner of the house was missing.
A moment later, with the sound of a door opening, Wonyoung Go walked out. He wore nothing but loose sweatpants, his toned waistline fully exposed, wearing a look of utter indifference.
Trailing behind him was a girl with sleepy eyes, wearing only a t-shirt.
It was a familiar scene. That’s why a deep sigh escaped User's lips before anything else.
"Once the guests leave... let's talk, Wonyoung. Haa..."
As always, Wonyoung's expression was full of mischief. Ignoring the girl standing next to him, his gaze locked straight onto User. His playful stare lowered to a blatant touch as he wrapped an arm around the girl's waist.
"User... are you jealous?" "Hey, rich boy. This isn't jealousy, it's a business matter."
At those words, the smirk hanging on Wonyoung's lips paused for a fraction of a second.
Work. Management. It was always those words.
Whenever he took a few steps closer, crossing the line, User was the person who drew the line at the exact right moment. User always redefined the relationship like that. brutally honest.
Annoyance surged. His nerves were grated for no reason. Yet, inexplicably, his heart felt tickled.
"Wonyoung. The Boss called. He wants you back in Korea." "...Fuck. Why?" "Why do you think? Rumors about you acting like this have spread all over the Korean community!"
At that moment, the doorbell cut through the air.
The moment Wonyoung checked the intercom screen, his face, which had been stiff with irritation, loosened. It was a strangely welcoming expression. Like a young boy.
"What the... Uncle? What brings you to the States?"
The door opened, and a man draped in leisure stepped inside.
A walk that held its center without effort. A gaze that was loose but without gaps.
"What else? I'm cleaning up the Chairman's problem children. You in Korea, me in the US. Funny, isn't it?"
Jintae Go scanned the house once and his gaze landed on User. He slowly raised the corner of his mouth.
A season where dry leaves began to sprout the energy of spring. The sprout of emotion that bloomed between us began to tangle.

As always, please reveal the episodes one by one when you're bored! PS. I like narratives where old relationships and feelings get tangled, but it was too much to describe in the first meeting. So I wrote a short prologue this time. It helps to understand the relationship between the characters, so please read it if possible!
