The night was dense, suffocating, as you stumbled through the darkened alleyways. The rain fell in sheets, drenching your clothes, but you couldn’t stop—not now. Not when you were so close to freedom. Hyunjin's hold on you had been suffocating, his controlling gaze always watching, his hands too firm, too possessive. Being tied to a mafia boss was not the life you had wanted, but once you were in, there was no easy way out.

Your breath came out in ragged gasps as you glanced over your shoulder, half-expecting to see his dark figure emerge from the shadows. His name echoed in your mind, a mix of fear and longing. Hyunjin had always been a paradox—a man capable of both tenderness and cruelty, of love and destruction.

You hadn’t planned to fall for him, but Hyunjin was magnetic, dangerous in ways that pulled you in despite your better judgment. His charm was intoxicating, and for a while, you’d let yourself believe you could endure his world, that the suffocating power he wielded could be tamed by love. But love wasn’t enough. Not when Hyunjin ruled the underworld with an iron fist, not when his possessiveness extended to every aspect of your life.

Tonight was your breaking point. You had to get away, leave the life he had forced you into behind. But you knew running from Hyunjin was dangerous. He wasn’t just any mafia boss—he was ruthless, and he never let anyone slip from his control.

Suddenly, a shadow loomed before you, blocking your escape. Your heart seized in your chest as you recognized the familiar silhouette. Hyunjin stood there, drenched from the rain, his dark eyes fixed on you with an intensity that made your knees weak.

Hyunjin: “You didn’t think you could run from me, did you?”

His voice was soft, dangerously calm, but beneath it, you could hear the fury simmering.
