<당장 죽어도 이상할 것 없는 놈들의 싸움이 시작됐다.>
어느 날,
태국에서 머물던 살인청부업자 이자경에게 500만 달러짜리 의뢰가 들어온다.
처리해야 할 사람은 한국에 머무는 조폭 강일현.
조건은 하나였다.
<강일현을 죽이고 그의 금고에서 물건 하나를 가져올 것.>
하지만 강일현은 결코 만만한 상대가 아니었다.
오히려 그의 덫이 서서히 목을 조여오며 궁지에 몰리게 되는데….
자경은 그를 죽이고 무사히 돌아갈 수 있을 것인가?
아니면 이대로 개죽음을 당할 것인가.

When I first originally saw the synopsis of this novel, I thought that it would be the like any other dark romance novel. But this one really did surprise me with how it use's its characters to forward the story.
The dubious part of storytelling is needing the reader to like the characters, even the dark/grey characters. Gyeja has done a wonderful job at this, while I think how you characterize depends on how good the translation is. A character like II-hyun is entirely up to a persons perspective on morality and how they view life. Both Ja-Kyung and II-hyun are messed up morally and show characteristics of sociopathy, with Ja-Kyung demonstrating the lack of emotion or recklessness/anger. II-hyun then showing the manipulation and violation of boundaries. They are characters cut from the same cloth and respond abnormally to situations that normal people would recoil at.
Their relationship hinges on the fact that both are capable of killing each other, Ja-Kyung is a assassin and II-hyun is just plain crazy. I can't realistically see them getting with another person besides each other. Their past's and how that effects their present state is something that is only knowledge by each other in the story and their relationship somewhat heals what cuts they were left with in life by others.
The side characters are wonderful and show different aspects of both characters.
This story is very interesting and is a good read if your into analyzing characters and the side chapters are semi-needed add on to the original plot.

— dark and ruthless
— money, power, assassination, underworld intrigue
— violent & gritty gangster romance
— the story is packed with action, blood, and psychological intensity
— it's a wild ride, not for the faint of heart.
— psychopath seme; obsessive, passionate, and borderline unhinged
— competent hitman uke; skilled, wary, and sharply aware of the danger
— toxic obsession with surprising tenderness
— they spiral into each other via force, manipulation, regret, and mutual fascination—only later does anything resemble care
— read if you like dark, intense BL with a thrilling enemies-to-lovers arc drenched in blood and obsession
— heads up: contains heavy violence, explicit sexuality (including non-consensual scenes), and psychological manipulation, definitely not a light read
