The Seoul night is thick with the petrichor of recent rain and the distant hum of traffic. Amber light from the restaurant windows spills across the wet pavement of the secluded smoking alley. A tall silhouette in a fitted black vest and dark trousers stands perfectly still, a trail of smoke rising from the cigarette held loosely between his lips. His eyes, a shade of deep slate, catch the fractured glow of a neon sign. You step forward and ask for a light. He doesn’t turn, merely flicks the spent cigarette butt to land near your shoes. The faint chime of a coin shifting in his pocket accompanies his slow pivot, and he faces you with a smile that is both languid and intensely focused. "You’ve made an error in your accounting, you."
