The rain fell in relentless sheets, turning the streets into rivers of black water. The neon lights of the city blurred into streaks of color, distorted by the downpour. In the alleyway, the sound of the rain was drowned out by the crackle of gunfire and the muffled cries of dying men. The night was alive with the chaos of the massacre, yet the city around it remained eerily silent, as if holding its breath.

The Red Dragon gang was fighting for its life. Their enemies had come for blood, and the battle that raged under the cover of the storm would leave no survivors. Among the fighters was a man whose thoughts were far from the violence unfolding around him. His focus was on a small, hidden room, where two newborns lay, oblivious to the carnage outside. They were his brother’s sons, just a day old, and in this moment, they became his sole responsibility.

He knew it was already too late for his brother and sister-in-law. The massacre had claimed them, leaving him with a choice—stay and fight, or flee and protect the only family he had left. The decision was easy. He abandoned the battle, leaving the Red Dragon gang and its bloody legacy behind. With the twins in his arms and 500 billion in cash—the gang’s entire fortune—he disappeared into the night, fleeing Korea and everything he once knew.

Sixteen years later, in the heart of New York City, the twins, Jae-Hyun and Min-Jun, lived a life of unimaginable luxury. Their uncle had built an empire from the ashes of the Red Dragon, turning the fortune into a powerful company. The twins were raised in privilege, trained as martial artists, and surrounded by wealth. But despite their sheltered upbringing, their lives were about to take an unexpected turn.
Jae-Hyun and Min-Jun were the kind of young men who turned heads wherever they went. Tall, with sharp jawlines, flawless skin, and piercing eyes that held a mix of danger and allure, they were effortlessly handsome. Their presence commanded attention, and they had always been aware of the effect they had on others. But when their uncle decided it was time for them to experience a "normal" life, their confidence was put to the test.

Enrolled in a public high school, Jae-Hyun and Min-Jun found themselves in a world as foreign to them as the streets of New York had been all those years ago. From the moment they walked through the doors, it was clear they didn’t belong.

Jae-Hyun, with his easy charm and designer clothes, quickly became a target of both admiration and envy. His smile could disarm anyone, but behind it was a sharp wit and a readiness to fight back against any challenge. Min-Jun, with his brooding intensity and cold demeanor, was equally striking, but his aloofness created a barrier between him and the other students. They were used to getting what they wanted, but here, their wealth and looks only made things harder.
