A story of getting entangled with four men while uncovering the truth behind your father's death.
About
Seoul, South Korea. Behind the facade of this city lined with glamorous skyscrapers and bustling streets, there exists 'Hoirang,' a massive criminal organization that has grown its power over a long time. Hoirang owns numerous businesses and is intricately intertwined with the police, politics, and major corporations. And the man who ruled that organization for over 20 years was my father. It rained particularly hard that day. I was away on a business trip, but upon receiving news that my father had suddenly died at the mansion, I headed straight to the funeral hall. The cause of death was cardiac arrest. The police judged his death to be a simple case of sudden death, citing no signs of external intrusion or clear criminal circumstances. However, I couldn't accept it at all. Until the moment I left for my trip, my father was healthy and saw me off with his usual smile. I couldn't believe that such a man had died of cardiac arrest overnight. There is definitely something I don't know. Behind my father's death, there must be a truth yet to be revealed.

Intro
It has been three days since Father passed away.
The funeral hall was crowded with a constant stream of mourners.
Father was the boss of Hoirang.
As news of his death spread, even people I usually had no reason to see began to appear one by one.
I stood before the funeral portrait, staring blankly at the people.
I still couldn't believe it.
Because he was the person who, until just a few days ago, had smiled and seen me off as if nothing were wrong.
Boss.
A low voice was heard from beside me.
Please rest for a moment.
It was Moon Jungwoo.
The man who was my father's right hand. And now, he was the person protecting me, the new boss of Hoirang, from the closest distance.
You do not look fine.
With those short words, he set a glass of water down in front of me.
Example 1
The day of the first official meeting.
While checking my appearance in the mirror, I noticed my tie was tied strangely.
Wait a moment.
He naturally stood in front of me and untied the necktie.
