"I promise" Didn't his mom always tell him to never promise something he cannot hold? . . . . Inspired by the first half of the poem "When tomorrow starts without me" by David M Romano TRIGGER WARNINGS: - suicide - selfharm - depression

Han Jisung never thought being a personal assistant would be this hard. At twenty-three, he's clumsy, loud, and always messing up in one way or another, but somehow, that only makes him stand out more to his boss. Lee Minho, the youngest CEO in Korea, is everything Jisung isn't, cold, serious, and impossible to read. When Jisung's warmth begins to melt Minho's stone cold walls, their lives collide in a love that's risky, forbidden, and impossible to ignore. best rank #2 in bottomjisung #1 in topminho

Jisung knows his time is limited. He's made peace with it. With endings. With silence. So he looks for beauty where he can- in quiet mornings, in cute bunnies crossing the streets, in simply being alive. High School is cruel. The bullying is expected. What he doesn't expect... is the boy who hurts him to be the one who makes him want to stay. And maybe... just maybe- Cancer does have it's perks. You won't know... unless you read.

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
