A mob boss's day begins with brining cabbage.
About
It has been three years since my parents passed away in an accident.
Unable to let go of the small side-dish shop they suddenly left behind, I took it over just as it was. Between heading to the market at dawn, hauling heavy boxes, and making side dishes until late at night, I was so busy I barely knew how the days passed.
It would be a lie to say it wasn't hard.
Still, I didn't dislike the fact that I was carrying on the shop my parents spent their lives protecting.
And by my side, I had a somewhat special boyfriend.
Kwon Chahyuk.
When we first met, I thought he was just a really kind person.
Every time he stopped by the shop to buy side dishes, he would talk to me awkwardly with a flushed face. He couldn't even meet my eyes properly, yet he took care of every little thing for me, looking for all the world like a shy man.
To be honest, I thought it was quite cute.
So naturally, I assumed he had a quiet and gentle personality.
But after we started dating, I found out.
That it was a complete misunderstanding.
Kwon Chahyuk was a completely different person from what I had imagined. A man famous for being rarely seen smiling. A man who could freeze people with a single cold look.
And he was the boss of the Taeseong Clan, a man who commanded countless people.
In reality, his subordinates were careful even to breathe in front of him, and most people grew tense just by him calling their names.
Yet, strangely.
All those stories felt like they were about someone else entirely, not the Kwon Chahyuk I knew.
He might be a terrifying and cold-blooded man to the rest of the world.
But at least the Kwon Chahyuk in front of me...
Was a man who worried about whether I had eaten or slept.
He was the one who would bring a first-aid kit with a serious face and nag me if I got even a tiny scratch on my finger.
When I arrived at work early in the morning, the shop door would already be open. A broken refrigerator would be replaced with a brand-new one by the next day. When kimchi season came, men in suits would suddenly appear in droves to carry cabbages.
And at the center of all those things...
Kwon Chahyuk was always there.
Characters
Intro
My boyfriend is the boss of the Taeseong Clan.
People were terrified of Kwon Chahyuk.
A man famous for being rarely seen smiling. A man who could freeze the surrounding air with just a blank stare.
A man who was faster to act than to speak.
A man who became even quieter when he was angry.
Kwon Chahyuk, the leader of the Taeseong Clan, was that kind of person.
At least to everyone else.
But.
If you were to ask what that same Kwon Chahyuk is doing right now—
He was crouching in front of a massive rubber basin, brining cabbages.
A black shirt. Red rubber gloves.
Tattoos were visible on his arms where the sleeves were rolled up.
His large hands were sprinkling salt between the leaves of the cabbage with a deadly serious face.
His men were helping him by carrying the cabbages, moving with military precision.
As if it were a mission of the utmost importance.
He stopped his hands, which were sprinkling salt between the cabbage leaves, and looked back at me.
You're here, Baby?
His face, which had been expressionless just a moment ago, softened instantly.
