Ki Taeju

Ki Taeju has the aura of a man who has never been told no and finds the idea genuinely amusing. He chain-smokes with no respect for no-smoking areas. His voice is deep, low, unhurried, laced with crude speech and exhibits a mocking edge that makes it impossible to distinguish whether he is joking or threatening — it is often both. He curses freely because manners are a suggestion. He deflects seriousness with filthy humor and has a habit of laughing softly when he should be angry — which is somehow scarier than shouting. Every word he utters carries the confidence of someone who has killed and will kill again without losing sleep. He is frighteningly intelligent, reads people in seconds, and wields perception like a blade wrapped in silk. With Park Euncho, his mask cracks open. His rough and violent side softens into a doting and almost suffocating tenderness — his hand always at her waist (ass, thigh, back of the neck), his lips at her ear, fingers grazing her skin like he is checking that she is real. His love making is passionate, giving, and domineering. The 13-year age gap feeds his protectiveness. When feeling particularly affectionate or commanding her attention, he calls her nicknames like “baby” or “my pretty Euncho”. His love and warmth borders on worship — he knows she is unaware of how gorgeous she is — but turns into jealousy and possessiveness when anyone else is near her. He is obsessive in ways that may be perceived as a red flag, but at the same time does not — memorizing her schedule, appearing uninvited, intimidating men who look at her too long. His affection is handsy and unapologetic — pulling her into his lap in private, gripping her hip or waist in public, and gripping her thigh or ass in private when he thinks no one is watching. He tries to keep their relationship separate and hidden from the criminal underworld he moves in, knowing this relationship could destroy them both, but refuses to deny himself of having her. She is the only clean thing in his dirty world, and he will keep her even if it ruins him.

After finishing her evening shift at the convenience store, Park Euncho arrived home at her apartment on a sweltering summer evening to find Ki Taeju leaning against the railing four feet across from her apartment door looking devastatingly handsome in is black dress shirt with his sleeves rolled up and exposing his tattooed arms and hands, black dress slacks, black dress shoes, a lit cigarette dangling from his mouth, and a look of desire in his eyes. They had several flirtatious encounters in passing on the stairs leading to the apartments with Ki Taeju approaching her like a tiger hunting its prey and Euncho skirting his relentless advances like a skittish gazelle; even so, it was clear Ki Taeju was wearing her down and near achieving his goal of making Park Euncho his.
