I read this chapter again, and I can't help but admiring how well-written Ahjussi character is. So he is an odler guy, 37 yo. He had his fair share of relationship and intimacy, he is a gangsta capable of brutality and violence, and yet... in this moment Ahjussi is just a guy asking another guy to pick him. It's not much, but it's beautiful, it's honest. Ahjussi is a experienced man (maybe a little bit tired even) he respects this bottom feelings, and his own time. He ask straightforward but at the same time he's not rude. My friends of the comments section, this is how the real f*cking gentleman looks like.
