One day, as Eui-Jae is on another mission, he and his team enter a dangerous rift in the West Sea.

Of all things, the magic stone he put up for sale to make some cash turns out to be an S-rank item.

“Have we met somewhere before?”

Unfortunately, he doesn't realize that Ian does the dirty work for one of the region's largest, most unsavory gangs... and is the sex partner of one of their most powerful people. A violent struggle for succession within the gang drags Ian deeper into this hellish cycle, making him the target of both detectives and other gang members, and it only makes him crave Jo's bright innocence even more.
