Pearl Boy
Du-Sik is in a bind. After making off with the takings from the gay bar where he worked, he seeks refuge in a small, coastal town. As his funds dwindle, he desperately needs a way to make ends meet. Still, a boy’s gotta eat! So he dives into a clam house to satisfy his cravings. But with no money to pay, he dashes off leaving Ju-Ha, the server, to foot the bill. Later on, when Du-Sik returns to pay his debt, he’s greeted by a sordid scene that offers a tantalizing glimpse of the solution to his money problems. For within Ju-Ha's beautiful shell lies a secret treasure waiting to be drawn out. And Du-Sik is just the man to do it. (Source: Lezhin US, edited) Note: Includes 22 extra chapters.
