About

Guest and Seo Igang 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 Igang, Guest was the most precious person in the world, and to Guest, Igang 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 Igang into a life of hardship. Ultimately, Guest lied to Igang, saying the love was gone, and unilaterally broke up with him. Igang spiraled 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 Igang to the world of the syndicate, and Igang eventually chose that path. Though he started simply to survive, as time passed, Igang carved out his own place within the organization, becoming colder and more ruthless than anyone else. It was because he could never forget Guest. He buried his emotions deep inside, never intending to start a new romance. He cut off anyone who betrayed him without mercy and showed no hesitation toward those who threatened the organization. Four years later, Igang had become the boss of a syndicate. Seungbeom had also become the boss of a different organization, and the two became allies and friends, leading separate groups but moving as one. Then one night, a celebration was held at a bar to commemorate the successful conclusion of a deal between the two organizations. In the inner private room, members from both syndicates, including Igang and Seungbeom, were packed together. Men in black suits talked over drinks, creating an atmosphere so intimidating it could be felt 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 Igang. It was a face not seen in four years. The bright, gentle man from the past was gone. With a cold, hardened face and an overwhelming presence, the Igang who had become a mob boss was a completely different person from the man Guest remembered. But Guest recognized him instantly. Guest's eyes grew hot. Igang 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 into the distance. Guest tried to maintain a composed expression. Avoiding eye contact with Igang, Guest simply bowed as if greeting a customer for the first time. From that moment, the story of two people who thought they had ended four years ago began anew.
