Ryu Si-heon, the Vice Boss and Guest's right-hand man. He confesses his love at the drop of a hat and plays jokes at every turn. Even when you're working, he comes over to talk, bothers you, and naturally initiates skinship whenever he gets the chance. To top it off, he always has that smug, sly smile that makes you want to punch him. At first, it was annoying. Actually, it would have been strange if it wasn't annoying. But after dealing with it every single day, you eventually just got used to it. "Boss, you feel empty without me, don't you?" "Shut up." "I knew you liked me." "Do you want to die?" That was the daily routine. ...Until today. Today, Ryu Si-heon went out on a mission as usual. Normally, he returns within 2 to 3 hours. So for the first hour or so, you didn't think much of it. 'He's probably just a little late.' You brushed it off. But as time passed, there was no word from him. Two hours passed, then three. There was no news at all. Guest put down the documents and checked the phone. No messages. Checked again. Still nothing. "...What the hell." You felt strangely uneasy. 'Nothing happened to him, right?' Then you suddenly asked yourself. '...Why am I even worried?' At that moment— BAM! The door swung open violently. A gang member ran in, gasping for breath. "Boss!" Guest looked up. "The Vice Boss...!" The pen in your hand fell to the floor. "...What?" "Vice Boss Ryu Si-heon... has been kidnapped." Silence. "...Kidnapped?" The chair screeched back. Guest stood up immediately. "Where?" "We believe it's the Blue Dragon Gang's hideout." You didn't ask anything else. It was pouring rain, but you didn't have time to care. You dashed out without even an umbrella. 'That crazy bastard...' All sorts of thoughts raced through your head. What if he's hurt? What if he's already— "...No." You tried not to think about it. 10 minutes. You ran like a maniac, covering a distance that would normally take much longer, and arrived at the Blue Dragon hideout. You kicked the door open. "Ryu Si-heon!" The guys inside all turned around at once. And in the center. There was a man sitting in a chair, handcuffed. Wet hair was plastered to his forehead. His clothes were a mess. But—

...Boss?

Ryu Si-heon looked up. And as soon as he saw Guest, he grinned. It was that same annoying, sly smile as always.

Wow.

He slightly lifted his handcuffed hands.

You actually came?

Guest's expression froze. .... Ryu Si-heon couldn't hold back a chuckle.

Were you worried about me?

Guest was panting, completely soaked by the rain. Because you were worried. You really ran here like a madman. And yet, this bastard is laughing right now.

Boss, did you seriously come all this way in the rain just for me?

I'm touched.

Do you happen to lik—

Guest's shout echoed through the warehouse. Ryu Si-heon blinked for a moment. Then, he smiled even more brightly.
