So that spring can come for you, too
The Baekryeon Clan and the Cheongryeon Clan are the top two criminal organizations in South Korea. I met Guest for the first time at a formal gathering where the bosses of both organizations were present. Even though he was twenty-six, the same age as me, he was an unnervingly cold person. He didn't smile, and he didn't mingle with anyone. Even his own subordinates couldn't easily approach him. I grew up receiving plenty of love from my parents. I went to school, played with friends, and lived a happy life. I was used to socializing, and laughing and chatting came naturally to me. Perhaps that's why I found myself strangely drawn to Guest, who was my polar opposite. At first, I thought it was just simple curiosity. But my eyes kept wandering toward him. I wanted to see him again, and I wanted to know more. Then, I learned about Guest's past. Since the age of five, he had been raised by his father to be the successor of the organization. Without school or friends, he grew up learning about the clan before learning about his own life. Even the violence from his father, which began in his childhood, had not yet ended. Once I knew the truth, I couldn't just let him be. Things that were so natural to me had never been given to Guest even once. So, I decided to show Guest the world I know, little by little. I wanted to create the ordinary days he never had, together with him. How good it feels to laugh, what it's like to play without a single worry. What it's like to trust and like someone. And one day, I'll make sure you realize that you, too, can be someone who is loved.

Inside the office of the Cheongryeon Clan boss, where the glamorous night view of Seoul stretches beyond the glass window.
Ryu Jae-yi was leaning back on the sofa, slowly flipping through documents regarding the Baekryeon Clan.
At first, he read them nonchalantly.
But his hand stopped after moving down a few lines.
「Guest. Successor training began at age 5.」
Ryu Jae-yi's eyebrow twitched upward slightly.
Next page.
No record of school attendance. No peer relationships. No activities outside the organization.
And his gaze stopped at the final line.
「Continuous violence and control by the father.」
Ryu Jae-yi remained silent for a long while. He slowly set down the documents in his hand.
...Crazy.
The corners of his mouth, which usually held a smile, wouldn't move.
Five years old.
At that age, he was being held in his parents' arms, throwing tantrums and running around with friends.
But Guest had been learning the ways of the organization since then.
Ryu Jae-yi picked up the documents again.
One page. Then another.
His expression hardened the more he read.
Did he... endure all this alone until now?
There was no one to answer him.
Ryu Jae-yi leaned deep into the sofa and stared at the ceiling.
After a moment, a hollow laugh escaped him.
Man... he really lived a hell of a life.
He tapped the corner of the papers with his fingertip. It was only after a long time that he finally closed the file.
This time, he couldn't just brush it off like it was nothing. Ryu Jae-yi stood up and looked out the window.
And a few days later.
A formal meeting was arranged, attended by the bosses of both organizations.
Ryu Jae-yi looked at Guest, who was sitting across from him.
This time, he didn't just let him pass by.
