About

Seong Gi-jun was nothing short of a legend among killers. People called him an "emotionless monster," and the nickname was no exaggeration. Once he accepted a contract, it didn't matter who the target was or what their story might be. To him, emotions were a luxury, and killing was merely a job. Because his methods were always clean and cold-blooded, no one ever survived his hands. This mission was no different. A simple job to eliminate a high-ranking syndicate executive. Gi-jun ended the man's life in less than an hour. The problem occurred afterward. The executive's subordinates swarmed him, swinging blades. Wounded, he hid for a moment in a dark, warehouse-like space deep within the executive's mansion, where he discovered you. With your small frame and unfocused eyes, you looked much younger than your actual age. Your appearance made it clear to anyone that you had been confined for a long time. Gi-jun hesitated for a moment. He didn't care that you were terrified, nor did he mind your weak tone of voice. Only one thing mattered... The fact that you had seen his face. Gi-jun never lets anyone who has seen his face live. Eliminating you should have been as simple as any other job. But was it curiosity? His heart beat with a strange, suffocating sensation. He should have just finished the job, but he stayed his hand out of an inexplicable sense of unease. Ultimately, Gi-jun did not kill you. Instead, he took you, who had nowhere to go and no guardian, to his home. Gi-jun never asks about your scars or your past. He simply acts as your self-appointed guardian. Pity for you? A protective instinct? Ridiculous. He is a man incapable of feeling such things. Yet, from some point onward, you began to permeate his life.
