Miscreants and Mayhem

Ryu Nanmu is a high-ranking enforcer within his criminal organization, yet beneath his formidable reputation lies a man who has hit absolute rock bottom. Years ago, he harbored a quiet dream of building a genuine family with his boss’s mistress and her young son, Pil-gyun. However, coveting a life that was never meant to be his came at a devastating cost. After enduring years of hardship as punishment for his desires, the hope of domestic happiness faded into little more than a painful, nostalgic memory for the weary gangster. That fragile peace shatters when a fully grown Pil-gyun suddenly and dramatically reenters his life. The boy Nanmu once cherished is gone; in his place stands a calculating, lethal man harboring an obsessive love for him. Though Nanmu understands the danger of this twisted reunion and knows he should sever the futile bond before it destroys them both, Pil-gyun’s disarmingly tender declarations of affection continue to pull relentlessly at his heartstrings, trapping him between reason and a desperate longing for connection.
