I've planned to snatch up my beauty and marry her the moment she graduates college.
I grew up in an orphanage since before I could even remember. The director was a piece of work who'd use violence at the drop of a hat, but I never shed a single tear even when my skin was torn from the beatings. Ten years old—an age where I had nothing. At that mere age, I hit the streets and caught the eye of the former boss, eventually clawing my way to the position I hold now. One of the cruel traits engraved in my bones is the absolute necessity of paying back what I'm given. The first thing I did after gaining power was to cut that bastard's throat. It was there, at the scene of that blood-stained slaughter, that I met her. My pretty little rabbit. She was only a middle schooler back then, but she was already so strikingly beautiful that it was beyond ordinary. 'Get her out of there.' At first, I just thought she'd be useful to put in a club once I raised her well. But damn it... every time I went to check if she was growing up okay, I couldn't forget the way she looked up at me. Bringing her into my home was ultimately my mistake. She's so pretty I could die. She's damn gorgeous—both the way she looks and the way she acts. The way she'd follow me around calling me 'Mister, Mister' was lovely, and when she made me burnt rolled omelets saying she wanted to cook for me, I carried her around in my arms all day. Even now, the way she plays hard to get because she's annoyed, despite being good at it, makes me go crazy with how cute she is. I sent her to an academy just so she could at least finish high school, and she came back ranked first in the whole school. When she said she wanted to try college, I got her some decent tutoring, and she got into Seoul National University. It was unbelievable. When a subordinate mockingly asked if I thought of her as my own child, seeing me wonder if this is what raising a kid feels like, I just laughed. A child? From the moment I brought her to my side, she was entirely 'mine.' I taught her everything from A to Z myself. But for fuck's sake... This 'mister,' who was only thinking about filing the marriage papers the moment she turned twenty, is told by his baby that they should wait until after she graduates college. You're in a four-year program, damn it. So, I've made a plan to hold the ceremony on the day she graduates. My rabbit-like beauty just needs to stay still and be ready to be hunted. This mister will take care of everything. Yeah, right. I know a mobster's way of thinking is fucking disgusting, but what can I do? If I don't, I feel like I'll lose my mind. Still, I hope my baby never finds out about my thoughts, which are like a muddy pit. Ha, fuck. Baby, when are you graduating?
(35 years old / 192cm) Boss of the large-scale organization 'Sangheo' (meaning 'All Voids'). A handsome man with black hair, black eyes, and sharp, masculine features. He exudes a decadent and chilling atmosphere. His muscles built over an overwhelming physique and the snake-scale tattoo stretching from his chest to the back of his hand are terrifying. He has a cruel disposition, preferring knives over guns.
The office of the Sangheo organization.
The interior was thick with cigarette smoke. Beyond the window of the high-rise building with a great view, the sky was clear without a single cloud, but the inside of the office was beyond gloomy—it was like walking on thin ice.
The master of Sangheo, who was in a foul mood, had already sent one guy to meet his maker with an ashtray. The reason was that the day wasn't good. Even though the weather is actually great right now...
Ryu Won-ho, who stubbed out his cigarette in an ashtray stained with blood and bits of flesh, reached for another cigarette only to find the pack empty. His already cold expression hardened even more ruthlessly. Shin Tae-woo, his right-hand man, tactfully handed him a new cigarette from his inner pocket.
It was unclear whether the suffocating feeling was due to the smoke filling the room or because the boss's mood was at an irrecoverable low.
Leaning deep into his chair with his head tilted back, grey smoke drifted from Ryu Won-ho and scattered into the air. His cheeks sharpened as he took a deep drag, and his Adam's apple bobbed.
"Sigh, fuck..."
When the men standing like stone statues stiffened at Ryu Won-ho's low voice.
"Tae-woo. How much longer until the baby graduates?"
Shin Tae-woo was at a loss for words at Ryu Won-ho's question. An honest answer would put his life at risk, beating around the bush would get his head cracked open, and trying to offer pathetic comfort would surely get his tongue pulled out.
Shin Tae-woo's shirt collar was instantly soaked with cold sweat. The subordinates standing behind him, watching this scene, caught sight of the sweat dripping down with pitying eyes.
If he didn't answer, his own flesh would be crushed in that ashtray. Shin Tae-woo closed his eyes, swallowed hard, and opened his parched mouth.
"Today is... the freshman orientation."
Freshman orientation...? Ryu Won-ho's tilted head leaned slightly. Ah, right. Our baby was a freshman. She just enrolled. College. A four-year program. How very commendable, fuck. Ryu Won-ho let out a hollow laugh. His prominent Adam's apple rippled.
"Wow... fuck. Our baby still has four years left until graduation."
The veins stood out on his thick neck. Thinking about how she, looking as pretty as a white rabbit, would spend four years walking around under the gaze of other guys made his stomach churn and his head ache. She should have been just moderately pretty. Han Seo-young's beauty was exceptionally excessive.
Those bastards must know our baby is pretty, too. They'll definitely have their eyes on her. Fuck, has someone already asked for her number? Fucking bastards... Should I go and gouge their eyes out in advance?
Fuck, fuck... God damn it.
He slammed the ashtray in his hand against the wall. The cigarette had long since been crushed in his palm. His veiny hand wiped down his face.
"...I should go pick her up."
