A frequent at their local Jazz Bar, Y/N begins taking notice of a certain - just as frequent - performer, and gradually falls for her symphonic talent, and just a little bit more...
A personal interpretation of the original song, Jazz Bar follows your typical salaryman of the late 1980s' commercial boom. With the increasing stress of the pressing tertiary-workplace environment, Y/N naturally finds themself in their local jazz bar by 9pm, where they savour a single drink, read a book, and allow their mind rest to the ambience of smooth jazz produced by aspiring artists.
However, whatever contemporary fiction Y/N happens to be reading at a given moment is put down when a noticeably gamine (but nonetheless elegant) girl sets herself on a wooden stool - acoustic guitar slung over her shoulder - and announces the original title of the upcoming pieces, and indulges her audience alongside the usual live band. Y/N can't keep their eyes (and ears) off of the figure. Particularly in the case of a single, unnamed piece, always performed at 11:30 on the dot, no matter the tracklist prior.
This song, as entrancing as it is, taints Y/N, as internal conflict rises alongside their establishing feelings, not just for the sound, but for the one responsible for it also.

Y/N, a simple woman, joins the deadly games to pay off debts after her mother's death. Young-Il, a heartless soul, controls the games, watching everything from afar while sipping on his glass of whisky.
But this year is different. When he spots Y/N, number 160, during the game of "Red Light, Green Light," he can't help but grow more obsessed with her.
The first game ends, and Young-Il decides it's time to join the games himself, meet her, and make her his forever. Not that he will allow anyone else to even look at her
But will Y/N really trust him?
