Beast

Jeon Du-In lives on the rough edges of society as a hired thug, carrying out illicit jobs for Baek Ryong. Their arrangement is straightforward on the surface, extending beyond mere professional services into a physical intimacy that neither finds particularly complicated. The true friction in their dynamic stems from Du-In’s firm refusal to be tied down or integrated into any traditional relationship. He is fiercely independent, a man utterly resistant to domestication. Ironically, Ryong is drawn to this very untamed nature, appreciating Du-In precisely for his feral qualities. Yet, this appreciation is paired with a possessive contradiction: while Ryong loves his untamed disposition, he refuses to set his personal "beast" free. As a savagely captivating prequel to *Dispar*, this narrative explores the tense power struggle of a toxic, complex bond between two men bound by violence, desire, and mutual refusal to yield.
