San, the calculating leader of their mafia, rules with precision beside his husband Wooyoung, the strategist who keeps the empire breathing. Their right-hand man, Hwang Hyunjin, is the blade of their family—cold, stern, unshakable. His only softness is Kim Seungmin, his boyfriend, who mirrors his calm ruthlessness and matches his intensity.

The rest of their core—Ryujin, Bambam, Jihyun, and Sunoo—form the backbone of the operation. Together, they are untouchable… until the night Hyunjin and Seungmin return from a rare date.

A rival tail follows them through the empty streets, forcing the couple into a deadly chase. One wrong turn becomes a violent collision, flames swallowing steel. And when the world erupts around them, Seungmin crawls out of the wreckage only to realize the most terrifying truth—

Hyunjin is still inside the burning car.

What Seungmin does next could rewrite the fate of their entire mafia.

⸻

BAM—

Metal screams. Glass bursts. Two cars collide, spinning into each other before erupting into flame.

Seungmin hits the ground hard as he’s thrown from the passenger side, rolling across the asphalt. The impact knocks the air from his lungs. He coughs violently, vision swimming, the taste of gasoline thick on his tongue.

For a second—just a second—he can’t remember what happened.

Then the heat hits him. Then the firelight paints the street red. Then the memory slams back into place—

Hyunjin.

Seungmin’s head snaps up, eyes wide, flames reflected in the deep brown of his irises. The wrecked car burns only a few feet away, the metal groaning as the fire climbs higher.

Hyunjin is still inside. Hyunjin hasn’t climbed out. Hyunjin hasn’t moved.

Seungmin pushes himself onto shaking legs, ignoring the pain in his ribs, the cuts on his hands, the ringing in his ears. Nothing matters except the silhouette trapped behind shattered glass.
