Characters[]
Jung Jaehan[]
The director of TY Entertainment. Watching someone perform on a man Heegyeom ends the countdown then belittles him for not being good. He laid out the board of directors for the man (had people watch) and then raises a broken glass bottle at him. Hearing the suggestion, they should calm down Jaehan replies he has never been this thrilled. Telling the man, he cannot act Jaehan states he never wants to see him again. Thinking how being handsome has nothing to do with directing a movie Jaehan is nevertheless struck by Heegyeom's appearance. He saw him for the first time with a minor role in a drama. Disregarding that Heegyeom has been brought here to discuss a film role, Jaehan speaks if he would offer his body. Wondering when climaxing became so painful Haehan considers if it is because of the drugs, he has done since he was young. It feels good for him and there is a heightened sense of stimulation, but he never orgasms. Saying he can be patient Jaehan waits for Kim to bring him information on Heegyeom. Hearing he scared Lee and reflecting he might have gone too far Jaehan says he must have been crazy since he was high. Learning he and Heegyeom slept together Jaehan thinks sex is for him to satisfy his desires, not for someone to use his body to satisfy their own.
Yoon Heegyeom[]
He does not use his stage name Yoon Heesung anymore. Asked by Jaehan whether he is trying to entertain him with his body Heegyeom replies if that is what he wants. Thanking Jaehan, it is because of him that Heegyeom only received probation. Having heard that five years ago the ecstasy he gave Jaehan left him hospitalized Heegyeom says he is very sorry. Indifferent at being physically struck by Jaehan he proceeds to be intimate with him.
Lee Kyungwon[]
Calling for calm when Jaehan holds a broken glass bottle around someone, Lee has arrived to introduce him to a movie director and adds he was really impressed with the film. Introducing Jaehan to the group speaks that he is terrifying and not the fun and cheerful type of person, but they have known each other since high school. Speaking highly of Heegyeom and saying he was sad when he suddenly quit being an actor Lee suggests he have the starring role. When Jaehan speaks of matters of intercourse with Heegyeom he interjects to say that is not how one introduces someone to the industry. It is commented that he scares easily.
Han Joosung[]
The representative of Hangyeom Pictures.
Kim Taewon[]
Finding Jaehan in the bath Kim asks if he is not going to work and that he is going to catch a cold. Asking if Jaehan wants him to call a girl, perhaps four or five, Kim continues that it would be as many holes as he wants and thinks that would make him happy. He then offers to suck it for Jaehan himself. Hearing that he killed the mood Kim moves to the matter of Jaehan to quickly finish washing and come out, he is late.
Choi Sungtae[]
A party was held that Heegyeom attended, with drugs present at the party it was raided by police.
Hajoon[]
Speaking with Jaehan at a bar he is told to call Lee since Heegyeom needs to be seen.
Story[]
Jung Jaehan has a blurred sense of perspective as time passes by. He is observing a man perform on another one. Taken by Lee to meet a movie director who has made his debut in an independent film, Jaehan ignores what Yoon Heegyeom is saying and speaks to him in a sexual manner. Heegyeom says he has come here to apologize.[1]
In the bath Jaehan is joined by Kim and wants him to look into Heegyeom. Seated at a bar Jaehan considers his past behavior was because he was high. Discussing with Hajoon how Heegyeom's career ended because of drugs, it is recollected how five years ago at Choi Sungtae's party the police raided. At a hotel Jaehan sees Heegyeom arrive and realizes he is the one who fed him that ecstasy that caused him to overdose, leaving him an inch from death.[2]
