She's an aspiring theater actress, he's the gangster. She's ambitious, he's chill. She ignores him, he chases her. She's vile, he's the headsman. But is he truly just her mere follower? Or perhaps...her downfall?
"You are living in MY world."
Which world is more dangerous?

In order to reclaim her lead role from the seemingly unbeatable and beautiful Suzy, Dara sought the help of her mysterious college best friend, Jiyong.
"You told me you didn't know what to give me for graduation," she said, not missing a beat. "I know what I want now."
"What is it?" He asked, curious.
She took a long gulp of her juice before crushing the can in her hand. "I want my role back. I want Suzy OUT."
If he's surprised, it didn't show on his face. "How would I do that?"
A grin spread across her face. "Make Suzy fall in love with you. Crazily, Madly - that she loses her role because she's too distracted of you. Be the reason she's dropping out in this play."
He smirked. Her plan is too outrageous but only she doesn't hear how insane her plan sounds like. "And what makes you so sure that Ms. Suzy will fall for this plan of yours?"
The sly smile on her face widened. "I'm sure of it. I've seen her looking at you..." Her eyes flicked to a figure standing at a distance behind Jiyong. "...even now."
He didn't turn around, his dark eyes fixed on her wicked smile.
"We'll see."
He had other plans-plans that Dara didn't know involved her too.
