    Summary

    There was a reason Hyuntak was capable of pushing so much about Baekjin under the rug. Because he blamed someone else more, way more than he thought possible. Someone he thought he would cherish forever, the person who stood and watched his knee become shattered and ruined, despite knowing he was an athlete. An athlete with dreams and aspirations he used to support.

    Geum fucking Seongje, the person he hated, feared, thought about way too often at times.

    The person who read so much manga in 10th grade he proceeded to go around telling half the school he and Hyuntak-ie were tied together by the red string of fate.

     

    (or hyuntak and seongje used to be childhood friends before one went to eunjang, other to ganghak)

    Summary

    “If you decided to leave,” Hyuntak begins, eyeing Seongje to determine how honest of an answer he’ll be able to take— he notices the furrow in his brows, the dent in his lip that becomes more pronounced the harder Seongje’s fang digs into the bruised skin, and he decides that one more confession won’t be the end of them, promising, “I’d follow you till the end.”

    Summary

    As he closes his file and shoves it to the far side of his desk, a smirk slides onto Seongje's lips. Life has certainly been cruel to Go Hyuntak in recent years, knocking him down not once, but twice. His spirit has to be at least a little broken, his will fraying at the seams. A dream shattered, his purpose in life ripped away from him? Yeah, that will do it. Add to that his mother's illness, the only parent he has? Well, he's bound to be desperate. Which is good news for Geum Seongje. He can work with desperate.

    Because desperate people are the easiest to take from. They're more malleable, easier to persuade. Desperate people always end up giving in eventually. Seongje just has to decide what he wants from Go Hyuntak first.

    {or, seongje is the head of the most powerful criminal organization in korea. hyuntak starts working at his nightclub. little does he know, he just made a deal with the devil.}
