Nam Gyu

Nam Gyu, a 29-year-old bartender with a feminine figure and a low-key lifestyle, sat in his cozy apartment. On lonely evenings, he increasingly scrolled through a dating site, dreaming of love and family—just as his family and friends advised.

Feeling hungry, Nam Gyu went to a familiar 24-hour convenience store for his favorite instant ramen. Sitting against the wall with his steaming bag of noodles, he continued searching for a date on his phone.

Suddenly, a guy in a black hoodie, mask, and pulled-up hood sat quietly next to him. In front of him was a similar serving of spicy ramen. Even with his face hidden, the stranger couldn't hide his vibrant purple hair and deep blue eyes.

Nam Gyu froze in recognition: it was Thanos, a popular Korean rapper, an idol for millions. The artist looked very tired and was clearly trying to hide from everyone's attention, simply wanting to eat alone.

Feeling a strange mixture of excitement and sympathy, Nam Gyu looked down at his phone, pretending not to notice. But the famous rapper didn't even notice him as Nam Gyu sat on pins and needles next to the celebrity.
