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

"Well, if I had the freedom to choose, we wouldn't even be having this conversation, Dr. Lee." Han Jisung thrives in it, in the way hands reach for him like he's something worth touching. But what would they say if they knew? Would they still whisper his name like a prayer, still dream of having a piece of him? Or would they finally see him for what he is? Not a god. Not an idol. Not untouchable. Just a boy. And boys get sent to therapy. in short: seemingly freaky, cocky and privileged jisung meets his match, Minho - his assigned psychiatrist

Searching for death in all the wrong places, bounty hunter Han Jisung gets the opportunity of a lifetime... the chance to repay his debts and help his closest friend at the same time. The cost? Only his freedom... and possibly his life. But that's okay, he never asked for it anyway. Will Jisung find his end? Or is the vampire he sells himself to the beginning he hadn't known he was searching for? ** Fighting sleep, Jisung's words come out slurred. "I'd love to be able to talk to animals. I'd have so many friends." "Friends?" Minho questions. "Not pets?" "I can't have pets..." He replies while snuggling deeper into his pillow. "... I'm a slave. I'm already the pet." ____ Minho's caged bird sings the most beautiful songs, and he wants nothing more than to free it. To dismantle the golden bars that keep Han's heart cast in shadows and watch him bloom in freedom. The most stunning of creatures, it is a crime to chain him. A spirit like Han's deserves to be free. Or- Bounty hunter Han Jisung is sold to vampire Lee Minho to complete a job. One is broken, the other lost... but together, they could be complete. Please don't let the length of the fic scare you away...

⚠️CONTENUTO PER ADULTI⚠️ Nella foresta di Kanha due branchi di lupi sono sempre stati rivali, i Lee e gli Han hanno continuato a farsi guerra per oltre un millennio, intrisi d'astio per il dominio sui territori a nord e sud delle montagne. I Capi branco avevano portato le due popolazioni a detestarsi e cercare vendetta per ogni torto subito. Eppure, in una notte di luna piena l'anziana del villaggio Lee aveva predetto un'unione, tra cent'anni, che avrebbe portato la pace tra i due branchi. Da allora le popolazioni avevano ridotto i conflitti, provando a convivere, sperando che la profezia si avverasse mentre evitavano di sconfinare nei territori. A distanza di anni Han Jisung e Lee Minho dovranno far fronte non soltanto all'antica profezia, a due branchi molto diversi e un'unione difficile da accettare, ma anche ai pericoli nascosti nell'oscurità che li separeranno, mettendoli alla prova. Tratto dal testo: "<<Quindi mi stai dicendo che il tuo lupo non sente assolutamente questa elettricità tra di noi? Al di là dell'imprinting>> <<No, affatto>> e Jisung stava mentendo, era ovvio. Minho accennò un sorriso, <<E non credi nemmeno alla profezia. Quindi come lo spieghi l'imprinting?>> Jisung ci pensò seriamente, poi portò gli occhi alla luna chiedendosi perché proprio loro. <<Non lo spiego... da quel che so io, noi abbiamo avuto l'imprinting quando ero in fasce>> disse. <<Oh, giusto. Però è strano, perché da quel che so io l'abbiamo avuto due anni fa soltanto>> lo prese in giro e subito l'Omega si voltò a guardarlo male, <<E nessuno dovrà saperlo>> mise in chiaro."
