#like babe gets a hammer to the head

[ohanny]

you know how long running tv shows often have that one parallel universe / coma dream episode where it's like oh, if she had done one thing different... HEAR ME OUT

this kenta grew up in a happy, healthy home where tony is still a businessman but does regular old real estate and he's married to reval who is a regular old doctor and they live in a huge suburban house with their bazillion children.

kenta is a total mama's daddy's boy who got a degree in accounting and works as his father's assistant. he carries a tablet in his sweater paws and will shyly bring you a tray full of tea and home baked cookies while you wait for your appointment.

then he meets kim who, to quote @enigmaharper, is "in a leather jacket and tats, bound and determined to ruin someone's life."

see, kim is a broke hongdae fuckboy who never became a star racer because he went to korean juvie for totaling a stolen car he took on a joyride without a license. he works odd jobs as a mechanic until a bar fight leaves him facing assault charges. knowing that with his record he might face jail time, he dusts off his thai passport and bails.

he encounters babe at a night club and is about to go all in on that when babe's brother shows up to pick him up and oh fuck. kenta in his fluffy chanel sweater, obviously naive and blushing after a single, skeevy look makes for a much easier mark.
