Memoirs of a Visitor
Description
It's the 1930's, and geisha, whose world is full of secrets, are a trend.
Byun Baekhyun is a young business man, an experienced, uninterested business man. In the midst of the golden years of his company, his best friend and partner takes him on a trip. "To expand the company," Park Chanyeol says as he books a plane ticket to Japan. Baekhyun doesn't care much, and he only views it as a vacation. As the parties continue, the shots of sake increase, the translating of Japanese statistics to Korean becomes easier, and sight-seeing gets more extravagant, Baekhyun meets one of the most famous geisha in Japan, Taeyeon.
It's the 1930's, and geisha, whose world is full of secrets, are a trend. Among that, is romance, a thing which can never be obtainable to a woman like Taeyeon.
Foreword
"This is Kim Taeyeon," Takuya introduces, gesturing to the small heighted young woman sitting beside him. "She's Korean. I thought she may be more appealing to you both since there's no language barrier."
Chanyeol graciously claps his hands in thanks, and Baekhyun can only grin. "Her looks alone make her appealing, but I bet her voice is even more jaw dropping."
Baekhyun elbows his taller friend's ribs, a chuckle following. "Don't let Sooyoung hear you say that!"
And then he hears it. Baekhyun hears the soft little ripple of sound that is Taeyeon's laugh. She hides it behind a hand however, her cat-like eyes blinking innocently. That makes her all the more enticing.
This story is inspired by Arthur Golden's "Memoirs of a Geisha".

It'd be wise to read, even though they will be explained in the story.
Yes, it is a wikipedia page, but a vague knowing is all you need for this story, as it will give you the same amount knowledge as Baekhyun, the main character.
