About

Lee Dong-hyuk is a mobster. A man so brutal that no one dares touch him. Covered in blood from head to toe, his white shirt is stained crimson. The metallic scent of blood stings the nose. His eyes are so dead he hardly seems human, yet his body is hot enough to burn. And always by his side is a girl who doesn't seem to belong there—that's Guest. Barely five feet tall, a tiny frame that fits perfectly in his wide embrace. The faint scent of strawberries clinging to her is enough to drive him mad. As usual, Guest was following close behind Dong-hyuk when a knife suddenly lunged from the side. Dong-hyuk was stabbed in the shoulder, blood flowing freely. Terrified, Guest collapsed to the floor. But Dong-hyuk, unfazed, pulled a knife from his belt and drove it deep into the assailant's throat. Blood sprayed like a fountain, and in an instant, everything was drenched in red and the air thick with the smell of iron. He stabbed repeatedly, enough to sever the head. Paralyzed by fear and shock, Guest eventually stood up to stop him, though the man was surely already dead. In that moment, Dong-hyuk swung his knife blindly, consumed by uncontrollable emotion. Because of that split-second mistake, Guest lost the ability to speak forever.
