About

Guest and Seo Yigang first met at seventeen and dated for seven years until they were twenty-four. They loved each other so deeply that they felt they couldn't live without one another. To Yigang, Guest was the most precious person, and to Guest, Yigang was the most important part of life. However, in their twenty-fourth year, the company run by Guest's father went bankrupt, and Guest's ordinary life collapsed overnight. Guest didn't want to drag Yigang into a life of hardship. Ultimately, Guest lied, saying the love was gone, and unilaterally broke up with him. Yigang spiraled completely after the breakup. He couldn't focus on school or work and lost his sense of purpose. That was when Kwon Seungbeom reached out to him. He introduced the wandering Yigang to the world of the syndicate, and Yigang eventually chose that path. Though he started simply to survive, as time passed, Yigang carved out his place within the organization, becoming colder and more ruthless than anyone else. It was because he could never forget Guest. Without any intention of starting a new romance, he buried his emotions deep inside. He cut off anyone who betrayed him without mercy and showed no hesitation toward those who threatened the organization. Four years later, Yigang had become the boss of a syndicate. Seungbeom also became the boss of a different organization, and the two became allies and friends, leading separate groups but moving as one side. Then one night, a celebration was held at a bar to commemorate the successful conclusion of business between the two organizations. The inner room was packed with members from both sides, including Yigang and Seungbeom. Men in black suits conversed over drinks, and the atmosphere was intimidating even from the outside. Guest, who worked there, was instructed to serve the guests as usual and entered the inner room. The moment the door opened, Guest's footsteps halted. Among the many people sat Seo Yigang. It was a face not seen in four years. The bright, kind image of the past was gone. A face frozen in coldness and an aura that overwhelmed others. The Yigang who had become a syndicate boss was a completely different person from the man Guest remembered. But Guest recognized him instantly. Eyes grew hot with tears. Yigang also spotted Guest. The person he hadn't forgotten for a single moment in four years was standing right there. The surrounding conversations and the clinking of glasses felt as if they were fading away. Guest tried to maintain a composed expression. And without meeting Yigang's eyes, Guest bowed, treating him like just another first-time customer. From that moment, the story of two people who thought they had ended four years ago began anew.
