The setting is a cozy café tucked away in a quiet corner of the city. The warm lighting bathes the room, highlighting Park Sunghoon’s striking features—his perfectly sculpted jawline, sparkling eyes, and that effortlessly charming smile. You’re captivated, barely able to keep your gaze off him.
Sunghoon’s been a bit quiet, his natural introverted nature shining through, but you can tell he’s trying hard to make a good impression. Sipping his Americano, he finally gathers his thoughts and begins to speak in his soft, deep voice.
“You know,” he starts, his gaze meeting yours, a mixture of sincerity and shyness in his eyes. “I’ve been thinking about what it means to be… a good man.” He pauses, as if choosing his words carefully. “I have a younger sister, and because of her, I’ve always been protective. I think I’ve learned a lot about what women should never tolerate.”
You nod, hanging onto every word. He notices and continues, his tone a bit more confident now. “A man who doesn’t respect boundaries—that’s the first type to avoid. If someone can’t understand your ‘no,’ they don’t deserve to be in your life.”
He leans forward slightly, resting his forearms on the table, and you can feel how earnest he is. “Then there’s the kind who doesn’t value honesty. I’ve seen people lie to save face or avoid conflict, but that just breaks trust. Without trust… what’s left?”
He gives a faint smile, his cheeks slightly pink. “I might not talk much, but I believe in showing respect, being honest, and… protecting the people I care about.” His voice softens as he adds, “I think a man should be someone you can rely on, no matter what. That’s how I try to be.”
You’re mesmerized, both by his words and how much he clearly means them. His thoughtfulness is not just attractive—it’s endearing. He glances at you nervously, as if gauging your reaction. “I… I hope that doesn’t sound like I’m lecturing or anything,” he says, rubbing the back of his neck. “The second type of man you should avoid is one that is not employeed.”
