But when those same swords are forced to fight the same battle, will they cut through the mystery together, or turn against each other in the process? "Calm down, mittens. You can't be reckless like that" "MITTENS?!

Jisung is crazy. Yes, everyone says Latinos are crazy, but Jisung? Hes not the 'haha, he's so funny' kind of crazy-no. The 'cause a scene, break the rules, and make you regret ever crossing him' kind of crazy. And Minho? He's stuck right in the middle of it. What starts as an expensive, dramatic whirlwind romance quickly turns into a chaotic obsession. Fights in the hallway, rooftop apologies, stolen kisses, and reckless decisions-Jisung gets what he wants, no matter what. And right now? He wants Minho. Badly.

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
