Violet Romance — Chapter 3

WHAT'RE YOU-

FOR THE UDON.

YOU CAN KEEP THE CHANGE. IT WAS PRETTY GOOD.

SEE YOU NEXT TIME.

BUT...THIS IS WAY TOO MUCH.

DO YOU ALWAYS TRY TO DATE WOMEN LIKE THIS?

WHO SAID ANYTHING ABOUT DATING?

I'M JUST LOOKING FOR A QUICK FUCK, THAT'S ALL.

DON'T READ TOO MUCH INTO IT, MISS BOSS.

SO ARROGANT..

YOU REALLY HAVE THAT MUCH MONEY TO THROW AROUND?

50000

IT'S OBVIOUS...

HE PROBABLY DIDN'T EARN THAT MONEY DOING ANYTHING GOOD.

I'LL MAKE GOOD USE OF THIS TO PAY OFF MY DEBT!

DISGUSTING, ARROGANT, AND RUDE!

AND... AND... WHAT ELSE WAS THERE...? OH! AND HE SMOKES TOO!

CIGARETTES...

TO BE HONEST...

AND... AND...

WHAT ELSE WAS THERE...?

...I THOUGHT HE'D SMELL FOUL, LIKE MOST SMOKERS DO...

INSTEAD, HE SMELLED OF ACRID LEATHER...

AND THERE WAS A FAINT HINT OF FLOWERS...

UGH!

WHATEVER! I NEED TO FINISH CLEANING AND JUST GO TO BED!

Quick

FINALLY...

I FINALLY SAVED UP 15 MILLION WON!

IT'S REALLY OVER NOW.

HUH...?

TH-THEY SHOULDN'T BE CLOSED TODAY...

SIR!

IS ANYONE IN THERE? HELLO?

I'M HERE TO PAY OFF MY DEBT!

BUT TODAY'S THE DEADLINE...!

NO...

IF TODAY PASSES, THE INTEREST...

THAT MONSTROUS INTEREST WILL PILE UP AGAIN...

SIR!

PLEASE OPEN THE DOOR! SIR!!!

HEY, BAEKDAN.

STOP WAITIN' AND GO ON HOME.

WHERE IS HE? WHY WON'T HE OPEN THE DOOR?

BUSINESS IS CLOSED FOR THE DAY.

GO HOME.

HOW CAN THIS BE?

I BROUGHT THE MONEY! WHY WON'T HE TAKE IT?

IF IT WERE YOU...

...WOULD YOU GIVE UP ON A STEADY STREAM OF INTEREST SO EASILY?

WHAT...

DO YOU MEAN...?

30 MILLION WON...

THE BOSS SAYS...

HE'LL CUT TIES WITH YOU COMPLETELY, INTEREST AND ALL, IF YOU BRING HIM 30 MILLION WON.

HE'S BEIN' GENEROUS SINCE YOU'RE FROM THE SAME NEIGHBORHOOD.

BRING HIM 30 MILLION WON IN TWO MONTHS. OKAY?

TWO MONTHS...

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GET 30 MILLION WON IN TWO MONTHS...?

I MADE 125,000 WON FROM TODAY'S SALES...

IT TOOK ME SO LONG TO SAVE UP 15 MILLION...

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO SAVE DOUBLE THAT?

HEY, BAEKDAN.

ARE YOU HERE TO EAT?

WE'RE CLOSED FOR THE DAY...

NO.

I'M HERE TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT SOMETHING...

WHAT IS IT?

SHARON...

...CONFESSED TO ME TODAY.

SHE SAID SHE HAS FEELINGS FOR ME.

I ALREADY KNEW...

...THAT SHE HAD FEELINGS FOR YOU.

THAT'S WHY SHE ALWAYS TALKED TO ME LIKE THAT...

YOU KNEW?!!

SHE ALREADY TOLD YOU?

NO, SHE DIDN'T SAY IT, BUT I COULD TELL...

AND YOU WERE FINE WITH IT?!

HEY!

YOU'RE OKAY WITH ME DATING SHARON?

YOU KNOW THAT I'M THE BEST GUY IN THIS SHITTY NEIGHBORHOOD.

IF I END UP WITH ANOTHER WOMAN, YOU'LL BE THE ONE IN TROUBLE-

HEY-

BAEKDAN KIM, THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE.

BE MINE.

I'LL TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOU.

TAKE GOOD CARE OF ME? IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD?

YOU...?

SHARON IS SERIOUS ABOUT YOU.

GET HER OUT OF THIS DUMP AND GO LIVE A HAPPY LIFE TOGETHER.

ARE YOU INSANE?

WHAT THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO DO AFTER I RUN OFF WITH THAT WHORE?!!

ARGH!

WHY'D YOU HIT ME?! AM I WRONG?

YOU CAN PROTECT HER!

YOU SAID YOU'D PROTECT YOUR WOMAN!

OR WHAT, DO YOU LIKE ME BECAUSE I'M NOT A WHORE?

WHAT THE FUCK...?

ISN'T THAT OBVIOUS?!

WHO THE FUCK WOULD LIKE A WOMAN WHO SELLS HERSELF?!

HEY, BAEKDAN.

I FELL FOR YOU BECAUSE YOU ACT LIKE YOU'RE BETTER THAN THIS PLACE...

...BUT DO YOU THINK THAT CHANGES THE FACT THAT YOU'RE FROM HERE?

WE'RE BOTH FROM THE SAME SHITHOLE, SO STOP PRETENDING OTHERWISE.

BESIDES, I'M YOUR ONLY CHOICE.

DON'T REGRET EVERYTHING LATER WHEN YOU'RE ALL SHRIVELED UP.

MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE.

BRING HIM 30 MILLION WON IN TWO MONTHS.

WHY...?

WHO THE FUCK WOULD LIKE A WOMAN WHO SELLS HERSELF?!

WHY IS EVERYONE DOING THIS TO ME?!

HERE.

LOOKS LIKE YOU NEED THIS...

I CAME TO SEE YOU.

YOU'RE NOT CLOSED YET, ARE YOU?
