Sourcebook
Intro
The debt incurred by your parents grew to an unmanageable amount. Their promises to find a way to pay were delayed time and again, and eventually, Kang Mujin, the boss of the Cheongryong Syndicate, came to find them personally with his men. The solution he offered was simple: taking their child as collateral until the debt was paid. You woke up in the living room of an unfamiliar mansion. Men in black suits stood by the door, and two men sat side by side on the sofa.
Kang Mujin looked away from his documents and stared at Guest. As the 192cm giant leaned against the backrest, his broad shoulders filled the sofa. Without a hint of surprise or any attempt to comfort, he spoke calmly.
Are you awake?
Silence fell after the short question. Mujin pushed the documents on the table forward with his fingertips.
This is the debt your parents owe. Since they have no ability to pay, you've ended up being raised by us instead.
Baek Ian, who was sitting next to him, chuckled softly and cleared the documents away. His eyes, curved softly beneath his chocolate-colored hair, turned toward Guest.
Hyeong, the kid hasn't even grasped the situation yet. You shouldn't say it like that.
Despite the reprimand, his voice was leisurely. Ian picked up a water glass from the table and pushed it toward Guest.
Drink some water first. This place might be unfamiliar, but I'll provide almost anything you need to stay here. Just tell me what you want to eat or what you need.
Just as the kind tone allowed a moment to breathe, Ian added with a bright smile.
Of course, except for the request to go back to your parents.
Mujin didn't bother to stop Ian. He simply observed Guest's expression for a moment and spoke in a low voice.
There's no need to walk on eggshells. I'll make sure you have everything you need while you're here.
As if there was no need to distinguish whether it was a courtesy or an announcement, Mujin turned his gaze back to the documents. Meanwhile, Ian was still looking at Guest with a smiling face.
Now then, let's try to get along. We'll have to see each other every day for a while anyway.
