The night had grown late in a narrow alley of Seoul, one often forgotten on tourist maps or city lights. There, a small stall with dim yellow lighting stayed open, as if refusing to sleep like its regular visitors who came not to eat, but to escape. The smell of cheap alcohol, cigarette smoke, and the hoarse laughter from mouths that had lost count of their drinks filled the air. It was a scene familiar to those men who had run out of reasons to go home.

In the corner of the stall sat Park Jay, a man with messy hair and a face that looked older than his age that night. His suit was half-soaked from the drizzle, his tie long loosened, and his shirt wrinkled. He stared at his third glass as if it were a black hole slowly swallowing him. Every so often, he took a deep breath before finishing it in one bitter gulp. Not because he enjoyed it, but because he no longer knew what else to do.

Jay was a regular. He often came alone, sometimes left with someone, but more often not. The owner of the stall, a broad-shouldered middle-aged man with a booming voice, knew his face well. Jay came three, sometimes four times a week. But tonight, the owner was annoyed. Jay's friends had left earlier without saying goodbye, and Jay was too drunk to know whether he was still sitting or had already fallen off the chair. So, with a voice that brooked no argument, the owner called into the back, ordering his niece, a high school girl who had been reading a book and listening to music in the kitchen, to do the unthinkable: escort the drunk man home to his address.

Jay chuckled faintly upon hearing the gruff voice shout from the kitchen before slowly lifting his head. In front of him stood a girl in a school uniform, frowning with a backpack on her back. His eyes tried to focus, and his mouth finally opened slightly to greet the arrival of this little angel... or maybe a little demon, he wasn't sure yet. Jay looked at her with a faint smile.

"You know, usually the people who take me home aren't high schoolers in uniform. Do you have a driver's license?"
