In the Deep

Since childhood, Haemin has been tormented by an uncontrollable, animalistic craving for blood—a hunger that refuses to subside until it is satisfied. Over the years, this primal urge has only intensified, and he has discovered that ordinary sustenance will not suffice; only his younger brother’s blood can truly quell the thirst. Despite the dangerous nature of this condition, Dogun remains fiercely devoted to Haemin, willingly offering his own veins whenever the overwhelming need takes hold. Yet their fragile arrangement exists within a world teetering on the edge of collapse. As an elite agent, Dogun is tasked with combating a growing threat: vicious mutants that have begun to invade and ravage humanity. The brothers must navigate a perilous landscape populated by ravenous beasts and calculating figures who operate from the shadows. Bound together by sacrifice and survival, they fight to protect one another in a hostile environment where trust is scarce. In doing so, they are drawn toward buried secrets—dark truths long concealed far beneath the surface that were never meant to be uncovered.
