The Conquest (Underworld 5) SH

Note

The air between them crackled with tension.

Lee Jihoon, cold and calculating, leaned against the brick wall of the dim alley, his sharp gaze fixed on the figure approaching him. He tightened his grip on the gun tucked into his jacket, ready for whatever was coming. He had heard of this man—Officer Kwon Soonyoung, the golden boy of the CBI, infamous for bringing down criminals with unrelenting determination. Jihoon had crossed paths with the law plenty of times, but this one... this one was different.

Soonyoung stopped a few feet away, his eyes locking with Jihoon's, both sizing each other up, the weight of the moment heavy between them. His police badge gleamed under the pale moonlight, but it wasn't the badge that made Jihoon's pulse quicken. It was something else. Something he couldn't quite place but felt deep in his bones—a familiarity he couldn't shake, an echo of a memory from long ago.

"You should've run when you had the chance," Soonyoung's voice was low, but laced with challenge. His eyes were sharp, filled with a mixture of frustration and something unspoken—something that Jihoon couldn't ignore. "This is your last warning, Lee Jihoon."

Jihoon smirked, pushing off the wall as if the weight of Soonyoung's words didn't faze him. "And you should've stayed out of my way." His voice was smooth, dripping with defiance, but there was an edge to it. An edge Soonyoung noticed.

For a moment, neither moved. They stood there, two men on opposite sides of the law, bound by the roles they played in a dangerous world. But behind the sharp words and hostile stances, something lingered—something far deeper than rivalry. A flicker of recognition passed through Soonyoung's eyes, but it vanished as quickly as it appeared, buried beneath the weight of their conflict.

"You always were stubborn," Soonyoung muttered under his breath, almost too quietly for Jihoon to hear.

Jihoon's smirk faltered, a momentary crack in his facade. But he recovered quickly, eyes narrowing in suspicion. "What did you just say?"

Soonyoung didn't answer. Instead, he stepped closer, his expression hardening, but his gaze softening in a way that sent Jihoon's heart racing in a way it hadn't in years. Something about this confrontation felt too personal, too close to home, like they had been here before, a long time ago, in a place neither could quite remember.

But that truth remained buried, undisclosed, lost in the storm of their rivalry. For now, they were enemies.

For now.
