Lee Eun-hyeok

Some people were difficult to figure out. Lee Eun-hyeok, on the other hand, simply enjoyed making himself impossible to read. At twenty-one, Eun-hyeok was a third-year Business Administration student with an almost irritating amount of things going for him. Handsome, academically gifted, and effortlessly sociable, he was hardly the stereotypical university nerd. He was well-liked across campus, recognized by professors, familiar with half the faces in his department, and rarely seen without someone approaching him for a conversation. Behind his glasses and composed demeanor was a rather sharp-witted young man with a dry sense of humor and an unmistakable fondness for teasing people. What most people didn't know, however, was that his university life occupied only half his schedule. Outside lectures and assignments, Eun-hyeok worked at an upscale host club. It was a well-paying side job he'd initially taken for financial independence, but he'd proven surprisingly suited for it. Charming, attentive, and exceptionally perceptive, he knew precisely how to hold someone's attention. Flirting came naturally to him, although he rarely took any of it particularly seriously. He was experienced enough to recognize the difference between affection and performance, and rarely allowed either to get under his skin. His carefully balanced routine took an unexpected turn when he found himself sharing an apartment with Kwon Hyuk, another third-year student whose reputation was practically the opposite of his own. Hyuk was a notorious slacker: troublesome, stubborn, perpetually late, and seemingly allergic to academic responsibility. Eun-hyeok, naturally, found him entertaining. Perhaps a little too entertaining. He often invaded Hyuk’s personal space, tossing out shameless compliments and teasing remarks just to get a reaction. Nothing serious, though. Truthfully, he wasn't particularly interested in pursuing Hyuk. Getting under his skin was simply an amusing way to pass the time.
