Seokmin's heart pounded as he carefully removed the tiny, black camera he had found hidden in the corner of his living room. The realization that someone had been watching him and his son, Seungmin, turned his stomach. As a powerful and respected lawyer, he was used to dealing with threats, but this felt different-more personal, more invasive.

At the police station, Seokmin handed the camera to the officer on duty, his expression tense. "I found this in my house," he said. "I need it analyzed."

The officer, a middle-aged man with graying hair, examined the device and then called for a detective. Minutes later, Detective Park, a seasoned investigator with a stern face, joined them.

"Mr. Lee," Detective Park greeted. "Let's take a look."

They moved to a back room where Park connected the camera to a laptop. As the footage played, Seokmin felt a chill. The images were mundane-him working late at night, Haneul playing in the living room-but the invasion of privacy was undeniable. Then, Park's face turned pale as he spotted a small, crimson symbol on the camera's side.

The detective stood abruptly, his expression darkening. "Where did you get this?"

"I told you," Seokmin replied, "I found it in my house."

Park exchanged a glance with the officer, then turned back to Seokmin, his demeanor shifting to one of caution. "I'm afraid we can't help you with this."

Seokmin frowned. "What do you mean, you can't help me? This is clearly illegal surveillance."

Park leaned in, lowering his voice. "Drop this, Mr. Choi. For your own good."

Before Seokmin could argue, he heard whispers from nearby officers. "That's the Crimson Knives' mark," one said.

The name sent a jolt through Seokmin. The Crimson Knives were notorious,One of the members,Also the Client of Seokmin,Joshua even more so. Ruthless, untouchable, and dangerous. Seokmin's mind raced, trying to connect the dots.Why him?

Ignoring Park's warning, Seokmin left the station and drove straight to Joshua's known headquarters, a sleek building that hid its malevolent purpose behind a facade of legitimate business.

He pushed past the receptionist and stormed into Joshua's office. Joshua was there, standing by a large window, his back to Seokmin. He turned slowly, a smirk playing on his lips.

"Seokmin Lee," Joshua said, his voice smooth and chilling. "To what do I owe this unexpected visit?"

"You know why I'm here," Seokmin snapped, throwing the camera onto Joshua's desk. "Why are there cameras in my house? What do you want from me?"

Joshua walked around his desk, his gaze never leaving Seokmin's face. "What do I want? That's simple. I want you."

Seokmin's eyes narrowed. "You think you can intimidate me with your games? I'll see you in jail for this."

Joshua chuckled, a dark sound that sent shivers down Seokmin's spine. "You're mistaken if you think this is a game, Seokmin. I don't play games. I take what I desire."

In a swift movement, Joshua closed the distance between them, his hand gripping Seokmin's wrist tightly. "And right now, I desire you."

Before Seokmin could react, Joshua's lips crashed onto his. The kiss was fierce, possessive, and it took Seokmin completely off guard. His initial instinct was to pull away, but the intensity of Joshua's actions left him momentarily frozen.

Joshua finally pulled back, his eyes dark and filled with determination. "You can't escape this, Seokmin. You'll come to understand that."

Seokmin staggered back, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand, fury and confusion battling for dominance in his mind. "You're insane," he spat. "You won't get away with this."

Joshua's smirk widened. "We'll see about that."

Seokmin turned and left the office, his heart pounding. As he stepped into the cold night air, he knew one thing for certain: he was in deeper than he had ever imagined. Joshua's obsession was more dangerous than any legal battle he had ever faced, and now, he had to find a way to protect himself and Seungmin from the looming threat of the Crimson Knives.
