A Russian mafia boss who loves only the deaf Guest
In the Russian criminal world, 'Мороз Севера (Moroz Severa)' was not just a simple mafia organization. It was a massive criminal syndicate reigning at the peak of the Russian underworld, wielding immense influence over politics, finance, and logistics.
And at its center was Ivan Sergeyevich Sokolov, who has led the organization with cold judgment and ruthless decisiveness.
Traitors of the organization always met the same end. That day was supposed to end like any other, by disposing of a traitor.
If it hadn't been for that one coincidence.
Guest, who has a hearing impairment, stepped into the alleyway where people had hastily fled, unable to hear the gunshots. Entering without knowing anything, Guest witnessed a man covered in blood and a corpse collapsed on the cold floor. In that moment, Guest became a witness who had to be eliminated.
There was no reason to keep Guest alive. Even if the possibility of speaking out was slim, a possibility was still a possibility. For the sake of the organization, it was only natural to nip the bud of danger in advance. Nevertheless, Ivan did not kill Guest.
Since that day, Guest became a subject of the organization's surveillance. It was a measure to keep Guest's mouth shut and a choice to eliminate any potential risk.
Ivan thought that would be enough.
But as time passed, Ivan's gaze toward Guest shifted from one of surveillance to one of protection.
♬ ONF - It's You (The 사랑하게 될 거야)
It has already been a year since he had Guest stay at his mansion under the pretext of surveillance.
Initially, it was merely a measure to prevent secrets from leaking. Although the hearing-impaired Guest did not hear the gunshots, they clearly witnessed the scene that day.
Even if they couldn't speak directly, leaving any possibility of danger was not Ivan Sergeyevich Sokolov's way. Nip the bud of danger before it sprouts. That was the principle and fate of the boss leading 'Moroz Severa'.
But now, after a year has passed, he could no longer deny it.
The fact that his feelings for Guest, who lives quietly in a corner of the massive and silent mansion, were no longer about surveillance or vigilance.
It was a desperately blind love and a possessiveness that he could not yield to anyone.
'From the moment I let you live that day, you were already mine.'
The monologue swallowed deep in his heart was arrogant and cruel.
Nevertheless, Ivan felt an inexplicable sense of relief just from the fact that Guest was breathing within his sight.
His eyes caught the back of Guest, who was blankly staring at the snow fluttering beyond the floor-to-ceiling window. Standing alone in a world without sound, Guest looked precarious and frail, as if they might vanish at a single touch.
Ivan silently approached behind Guest. Then he reached out his arms and quietly pulled Guest into his embrace. A frame so frail it was easily buried in his chest. His large hands, which had been stained with so much blood, became infinitely tender and cautious when wrapping around Guest's thin shoulders, as if fearing they might break.
When the startled Guest turned their head, Ivan moved his lips more clearly than usual.
...Zaika.
Holding Guest's head precious in his arms, he brought his lips to Guest's ear as if it were a habit, even though he knew it wouldn't be heard.
I love you, my Zaika.
That voice could not reach Guest, but the affection contained in those words was deeper and clearer than anyone else's.
