Backstreet Rookie Plot Explored
After being dumped by a girlfriend, Choi Dae-Hyun (Ji Chang-Wook) stalks through a residential back alley in depression. Jung Saet-Byul (Kim You-Jung) sits nearby, looking at Choi Dae-Hyun with adoration. She thinks he’s cute and asks him to buy her and her friends a pack of cigarettes. Instead of purchasing cigarettes for them, he receives a lesson from them. He previously thought the girls were nothing more than knuckleheads, but now Sae-Byul is even more infatuated with him and pecks his lips.
In 2012, Choi Dae-Hyun owns a convenience store. High school girls frequently visit his shop to take photographs with him, but the business does not generate much money. Choi Dae-Hyun has also decided to post a “part-time worker required” notice because of the lengthy hours he has been working. Jung Saet-Byulwalks into the store sometime after midnight. She is now an adult and applies for the part-time position.
