Knock knock. Why be a cock block? Be like Jisung. Unlock the power to cockblock yourself. It has a 100% success rate, it'll leave you in shock. Or: Jisung is a complete and utter fool for the man behind the counter at his local cat cafe, Lee Minho. Somehow it ends with Minho being his tutor.

In front of the fans, they're perfect. Off-camera? They can't even look at each other. Lee Minho and Han Jisung - Minsung, the iconic duo that fans can't get enough of. Smiles, touches, stares. Every performance, every interview, they play their part flawlessly. But behind the scenes, everything's fake. A cold war buried under stage lights and scripted affection. What started as simple dislike during the survival show has turned into a silent battlefield, and their company refuses to let it show. How long can they act like they love each other, before it all breaks apart?

(What happened after Suho woke up?) "Have you been well?" Sieun opened his mouth, but no sound came out. There was a huge lump in his throat. "Mhm," he managed to hum in response. He saw Suho's eyes shift to the friends standing quietly behind him. All three were watching them silently. They were aware of the heavy atmosphere, and they stood there carefully, even controlling their breathing so as not to disturb the moment. "Who are those behind you?" "My friends," Sieun said, his voice hoarse and faint. He felt like he could cry at any second. Could Suho see the tears forming in his eyes even from this distance? "I'm glad," Suho said, a faint smile appearing on his face. Sieun felt that he looked relieved. His breath caught. The weight of the air around him pressed down on his lungs. He took short, broken breaths. Now he was smiling too. Finally, he thought.

★ "my time's up." ⭐︎ or, lee minho's life is a chaotic mess. that is until he finds a rather cute stranger with a similar fate. ★ [DO read the note]

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
