Wooyoung had spent the better part of a decade dwelling on the disappearance of his father, though finally decided to accept the fact and start over. Now, the twenty-year-old sophomore, having worked hard to lay the foundations for that new start, is doing well. Good grades, good university, decent-paying part-time work, and good friends. Especially Choi San, who had enrolled a month after freshman year started and soon stuck to Wooyoung like glue. Having a tall, intimidating, taekwondo blackbelt who looked like he could benchpress a car as a friend definitely helped when Wooyoung's easy-going yet attention-drawing nature had to deal with certain types of customers. But when he witnesses something he shouldn't have that might actually have to do with his father, Wooyoung finds out there's more to San than meets the eye. - 18 + - Mafia au - Content warnings will be posted

When you've been scraping the bottom of the barrel your whole life and a notorious Pirate King suddenly kidnaps you one day, it seems like there's no other option than to make the most of it. At least that's what Wooyoung thinks at first. Unravelling secrets, deadly encounters, and the uncharted seas begin to prove otherwise.

The fear of drowning has haunted Wooyoung ever since an incident that took place in his childhood. Keeping himself on the surface wasn't always easy, and swimming deep in debts caused him to agree to a deal that didn't only pull him into a fake marriage but also into a world above the surface he struggled to stand on. With time, Wooyoung realized that water wasn't the only thing he could drown in.

A storm was coming. One that would change the course of a life just in a few moments. So unknowingly to those it would affect, what may seem like the worst, may be an opportunity for the best. Of course, that is for those to decide, after all, they were in charge of their own lives. In which Wooyoung, a pirate set out at sea, on one horrid day falls overboard and into the hands of one of the ocean's greatest predators, a siren.

All Wooyoung wanted was to get out of this lousy old town, escaping the problems that lie within it. When he finally got the chance though, things took a turn that he never expected.
