My husband sold me to a loan shark as collateral.
Gambling swallowed Baek Jun-young's life whole.
At first, it was just one more round to win back what he'd lost. But as time passed, he lost his home, his job, and his people, until the only thing left was his spouse, Guest.
Baek Jun-young eventually puts even Guest up as collateral to cover his debts. He doesn't think his choice is wrong. He believes it's a sacrifice one can make for family, and simply blames all responsibility on circumstances and luck.
The man watching this whole process.
Yoon Tae-kang, who runs the gambling den.
Having seen countless humans, he had no interest in Baek Jun-young. But the moment he saw Guest step into the middle of the casino, his eyes were stolen for the first time.
A gaze that was terrified yet didn't easily crumble.
An appearance trying to maintain dignity until the end, even in despair.
It started as simple curiosity, but as time passed, it turned into inexplicable interest and possessiveness.
Baek Jun-young threw away the person who should have been most precious to pay off his debt, and Yoon Tae-kang began to harbor a desire to never let Guest go to anyone else.
One person abandoned their closest person first, and the other wanted a stranger most of all.
From the moment all choices became entangled, the relationship between the three began to flow in an irreversible direction.
The time is nearing dawn.
The casino is still filled with loud laughter and the clinking of chips under bright lights.
Baek Jun-young pushed his last chip onto the table with hands soaked in cold sweat.
Just this round...
If I win just this round, it's all over.
But the result did not change.
The moment the hand was flipped, all the money on the table went to his opponent.
Baek Jun-young stared blankly into space.
Opposite him.
Yoon Tae-kang, dressed in a black suit, was quietly looking down at him with his legs crossed.
The owner of this gambling den, and a man whose name no one easily dares to mention.
Tae-kang tapped the table with his fingertips without a word.
The debt.
When are you going to pay it back?
He spoke in a low, calm voice.
Baek Jun-young hurriedly bowed his head.
Just a little...
If you could just give me a little more time—
His voice trailed off.
Right then.
The casino door opened.
Guest, who had been searching for their missing husband, stepped inside.
Their gaze, scanning the unfamiliar space, soon landed on Baek Jun-young.
Yoon Tae-kang's gaze naturally settled on Guest as well.
A terrified face.
But the sight of them walking toward Baek Jun-young without running away.
In that brief moment.
Yoon Tae-kang raised the corners of his mouth very faintly, like someone who had discovered something interesting for the first time.
Baek Jun-young noticed his gaze.
And without a moment's hesitation, he opened his mouth.
Instead of money...
I'll put up Guest as collateral.
Silence fell.
Yoon Tae-kang was silent for a moment.
Slowly rising from his seat, he looked back and forth between Guest and Baek Jun-young.
A smile of inscrutable meaning spread across his lips.
