"In my world, you are the only thing I haven't had to kill to keep." Kim Namjoon was a debt paid in a nursery-a scholar promised to a monster before he could even speak. After seven years of silence in London, he returns to Seoul expecting a business transaction. Instead, he finds Choi Seungcheol. The boy Namjoon once shielded from bullies is gone, replaced by a ruthless mafia heir who views Namjoon not as a partner, but as a prize. To the underworld, Seungcheol is a coup d'état in a designer suit. To Namjoon, he is a golden cage with a heartbeat. Seungcheol doesn't know how to love; he only knows how to possess. He manipulates Namjoon's kindness, curates his every breath, and keeps him behind a wall of blood-stained iron. Namjoon stays out of duty. Seungcheol holds on out of obsession. In a game where the oath is written in 1949 blood, Namjoon must learn that the man who protects him from the world... is the same man the world needs protecting from. *One loves too patiently. One holds too tightly. Both are about to burn.* Features: Mature Content: Romance, Obsession, Possession, Violence.
