So. It was only three months ago.

The worst moment of my life. When I had to choose between the worst and the second worst...

Thwack—!

If you had just behaved yourself, Hyung-nim, we wouldn't have had to go this far~

A heavy kick landed on me. The face grinning with a split lip looked incredibly despicable.

I only harbored a small dream.

I wanted to live normally. Like everyone else.

—You want to leave the organization?

Chairman Kang was smiling throughout the meeting, but the word 'permission' never left his mouth.

—I've been bitten in the neck too many times by letting guys like you go.

What followed was predictable.

A boot crushed my head. As my cheek touched the cold cement floor, my shoulders hunched reflexively.

Even though I was once his favorite, this guy is a Seongjin man to the core—merciless to a cruel degree.

We don't feel great about this either.
