Minho thought he was alone in a world that had burned. Until he felt eyes on him-Jisung, the boy responsible for the apocalypse, yet not evil, only burdened by a truth too heavy for one to carry. Survival brought them together, danger and desperation drew them close, and in the shadows of a collapsing world, they discovered love. But even love may not survive the end of the world.

"You can't kill someone who was never alive in your eyes to begin with." Lee Minho is a respected college professor by day-calm, distant, untouchable. His lectures are precise, his reputation spotless, and his emotions carefully locked away. No one suspects that after sunset, he becomes something else entirely: the mafia's most lethal weapon, a man trained to erase lives without hesitation. Han Jisung is just another student trying to survive college. Quiet, restless, always running late, and Top student. He thinks the campus is the one place the darkness can't reach him. His friends, wear the same masks: students with deadlines, friendships, and futures. But when night falls, each of them lives a second life. One built on secrets, crime, and choices that could ruin them all. As the criminal underworld begins to bleed into the halls of academia, lines blur between teacher and student, innocence and guilt, protection and possession. Minho has spent his life believing that detachment keeps him alive. But Jisung was never supposed to matter. And caring was never part of the plan. What happens when your own teacher and your friends you trusted, are the ones who take you?
