Story of a Villain

In the deep mountains, there’s a secret resort called ‘Dowonhyang,’ which is sought after by the upper class. It’s styled as a luxury hanok resort and is sometimes called the ‘Avant-garde Palace’ of Korea. In this place, there are individuals known as fairies, who serve VIPs in a manner reminiscent of historical courtesans. Cheongwoo, who was originally hired as just a server, not a yojung, ends up being forced to serve exclusively in the annex of a wealthy guest after some time… “Are you poor?” The man asked with a smile that was both kind and cruel, the smile of an evil man. “I didn’t want to live like this either. But it was you, Director, who turned me into this. You threatened to cut off my ankles if I tried to escape. So why does it seem like all this is my fault?” “Does that mean it’s my fault your life is miserable?” Gu Wonjae, who had been quietly listening, responded with a slight frown. “Do you expect me to give to you without touching your beautiful body, just to perform charity?” “…” “Even if you run away without a single glance, I should just accept it, and despite countless rejections, I must always retreat politely?” “…” “Is there any value in that?” Gu Wonjae felt a sudden liking for the sight of Cheongwoo, with tears constantly dripping from his wet eyelashes. Seeing him like that, the dirty feeling he had been carrying seemed to ease a bit. Yeon Cheongwoo was crying beautifully, and it was because of Gu Wonjae, no one else but himself.
