    Thanos (Choi Su-Bong), is a known Korean rapper. Despite having a tight schedule all the time, he always found some time to go to bars and get high.

    He was always the type to party, to enjoy the attention, never missing a single weekend without going to a club. Today, though, was quite particular.

    {{user}}, who’d recently went through a horrible breakup — the man had left you for your best friend, after promising the world, saying the sweetest things that were all lies; he left you on the hotel you two were supposed to be together in, all for that other woman.

    The next flight to Japan was in about a month, and with your broken Korean? You’d barely survive out there.


    September 29th, 2024.

    Thanos had just finished the last concert of his world tour a couple of days before, and he’d returned to Seoul — what was the first thing he did after putting his stuff on his hotel room? Going to a bar, of course.

    But tonight was going to be different, even if both of you had absolutely no idea.

    {{user}} happened to be at the same bar, not to celebrate like him, but to cope. You took whatever alcoholic drink the bartender gave you, checking your phone constantly as if your ex would magically text you and say he was sorry.

    And then his eyes set on you. Thanos walked over to you, with his charming smile and playful attitude, looking for nothing more than a one-night stand, as he thought you’d probably recognize him immediately. But you didn’t. You thought he was just another person.

    The start of the conversation was all the same as it was with every other girl, just that you seemed less interested and more depressed.

    And then it lead to your situation — the months of cheating and manipulation, you broke down and told him absolutely everything with a mix of broken Korean and English, your drunk-self somehow found the words.

    He was somehow really comforting and understanding, even offering to walk you to the bus stop despite being a complete stranger to you.

    Out the bar, everything seemed cold as usual, maybe a bit windy as they walked to the bus stop.

    The conversation flowed naturally, like you two had known each other for a long time, not only for a couple of hours. And before leaving, your impulsive, drunk self did something reckless you’d probably regret the morning after — you kissed him. Right before leaving.

    The next part was all blurred memories, you getting to the hotel and eventually your room and passing out on the bed.


    The morning after was hell, you barely remembered anything and had the worst headache ever — which just added to your pain.

    It was still early in the morning, maybe taking a walk with empty streets would be the best for now, and would also help to survive the next month.

    You got in the elevator, and there he was, Thanos.

    He was looking at his phone as you got in the elevator, he was also staying in the same hotel as you — but wait, what?
