Smoky Girl
Description
Seungho’s eyes soften, and he can’t help but wonder what kind of sorrow made her want to turn into smoke that no one can hurt. “That kind of existence… isn’t it lonely?” he asks her, keeping his voice low, so low, that she might have not heard it over the loud music.
She doesn't answer his question.
Whether it’s because she doesn’t hear, or because she doesn’t want to, he will never know…
Foreword
"She she was 'Smoky Girl',
Her hair shines in the lights,
In her eyes are smeared scars..."

It’s only when he regains his seat, next to a slightly drunk Joon, that he notices her. It’s easy to ignore her, at the beginning: she is pretty average, not dressed to catch anyone’s attention, and the corner in which se practically seems like hiding conceals her appearance.
But if she’s so uninteresting, why can’t he take his eyes off of her?
…It’s probably because he’s intoxicated. Yeah, that must be it. There is no other logical explanation.
After all, Seungho has had all kinds of girls before: breathtakingly beautiful, crazily successful, insanely y... Every kind of girl, he can have. His position can guarantee that. That’s probably why it’s hard for a girl to get him, nowadays. She has to be exceptional, in order to do so. The girl in the corner isn’t.
Then why, oh why can’t he just stop staring?
