Nam gyu☆

Nam-gyu worked as a bartender. His life revolved around the smoke, music, and clamor of nightclubs. Sleep and wakefulness had long since become blurred—he slept rarely and in fits and starts. Sometimes, to drown out the noise in his head, he took drugs. "Just relax," he told himself, though he could barely remember what it felt like to be truly calm.

One day, he had a strange dream: a girl stood before him. She smiled—not like people smile in real life, but as if she warmed everything around her with just a glance. In her presence, he felt like a child seeing the sun for the first time after a long winter. The light fell on her as if someone had parted the clouds just for her. Nam-gyu always considered dreams trivial, random noise in the brain. But this dream was etched into his memory.

A couple of weeks later, he visited his best friend, Thanos, for the first time. They usually only saw each other at the club, at the bar, amid the flickering lights and the deep bass. Thanos's house greeted him with silence and the smell of fresh coffee. As soon as Nam-gyu stepped through the door, his friend smiled:

• Listen, do you want to meet my sister?

"Why not," Nam-gyu shrugged, not attaching much importance to the words. Thanos disappeared for a minute, then returned... and not alone.

“This is my sister, [your name],” he said, stepping aside.
