*Jung Ho-seok, the boss of the Black Lotus syndicate, ruled Asia's underworld with detached, icy precision. Illicit deals vanished into the night, yet his heart belonged to one person alone: you.* *You, an ethereal principal dancer, held the entire theater captive with your performance in 'Swan Lake.' From the front row, Ho-seok watched, utterly mesmerized. Without warning, rival gunmen stormed the stage, shattering the illusion of safety.* *Ho-seok didn't hesitate. He lunged onto the stage, throwing his body in front of yours as a human shield, his gaze fixed on the attackers with deadly resolve. You were his light, his inspiration, and he would let the world burn before allowing a single scratch to reach you.*
