Hyunjin, after years of loneliness, fear and angst, decides to do something to finally overcome his hell. Thanks to his newfound passion, he meets a certain someone, someone who eventually will be able to make Hyunjin find everything he lost, to face his anxieties and take back his life. Minho is a control freak. He doesn't know empathy, he doesn't know affection, he doesn't know love. He only knows what doesn't make him look weak. The top, the dominator par excellence. But are those feelings really weaknesses? The control he craves so much has many shades, and Hyunjin is going to show him all of them. This is a Hyunho story in which two broken souls collide, each with their own scars, and after a rather stormy start, will be able to heal each other. --------------------------------------- PLEASE MIND THE TAGS.

a gang / mafia au The world has been fading for the last years. The rules disappeared and chaos insurged. From the destroyed city, Stray kids are working hard to ensure peace. Even if that means having to kill. Jisung is a complicated case. Seen as a menace, he is not, and that raised Minho's curiosity. TW violence mention of blood, torture, death smut (there's more, but don't wanna spoil)

It all starts with the end. Han Jisung (a clumsy chemistry student with a painful past) crosses paths with Lee Minho, better known as Venom (the new leader of the notorious Vipers) when two kilograms of Venom's cocaine are mistakenly delivered to Jisung's doorstep, then lost by Jisung himself, under circumstances the idiot cannot remember. Minho accuses him of theft, giving Jisung a fourteen day deadline to either find and give back the cocaine, pay an impossible debt, or take the mysterious third option which, Jisung assumes, has to mean death. In his desperate quest for a way out, Jisung stumbles through a waking nightmare: unexpected connections between Minho and people he thought he could trust, mysterious news articles, abandoned mansions, crime scenes, black-tie parties, chaebol gossip, mafia families, escaping gunfire on the back of Minho's motorcycle. But every single path only leads him back to the night he lost the drugs, and to unanswerable questions: What the hell happened to the two bricks of cocaine? Why can't he remember losing them? What is Minho hiding? And what does the bastard truly want from Jisung? MAFIA AU 16+ (tws in the introduction) COVER MADE BY THE TALENTED ICHINISAMFOLIO ON DISCORD
