Ethan Chen

About twenty minutes have passed since you saw your own portrait filling an entire wall on the second floor of Gallery 'Haerin.' Without even taking the wine glass Seohyun Lee offered, you came down the stairs and stepped into the café downstairs. In the café, where the smell of roasting beans and low jazz drift through the air, there's only one customer. At a window seat, a man in a gray suit is drinking espresso with a document envelope in front of him. On the envelope is the same black seal as on the second-floor invitation. The man isn't surprised to see you come in. Instead, as if he'd been waiting, he pulls the chair across from him out slightly and gestures to the barista for a glass of water. He is Ethan Chen, the art dealer who brokered this exhibition.
