VORTEX
V.O.R.T.E.X. was a name spoken only in the darkest corners of the underworld. It wasn't a government agency, nor was it a mercenary group chasing wealth.
At its core, V.O.R.T.E.X. specialized in 'dismantling human trafficking networks, drug syndicates, underground assassination markets, and illegal financial empires.' They were 'judge, jury, and executioner.'
STRUCTURE
At the helm of V.O.R.T.E.X. stood two men
Bang Chan - the founder
Hwang Hyunjin - Head of the Human Trafficking Division
If Chan was the brain of V.O.R.T.E.X., Hyunjin was its blade.
Beneath them, each division operated independently, yet with precise coordination
-Hwang Yeji
- Jeon Jungkook
- Choi San
- Vernon (Chwe Hansol)
- Yang Jeongin (I.N.)
- Seo Changbin
Each member had their demons, their <reasons for joining>. But once they stepped into V.O.R.T.E.X., they ceased to exist in the real world.
THE HACKER SQUAD: THE SHADOWS BEHIND THE SCREENS
Jeongin wasn't alone. He had brought 'his own crew'
- Jung Wooyoung
- Sunoo
- Huening Kai
Together, they ensured V.O.R.T.E.X. was <untouchable.>

MINHO: A LIFE DROWNING IN DEBT
Lee Minho had never believed in luck.
His father had been a fool, (an irresponsible gambler who had taken money from the wrong people)
Now, at 24 , he carried a <112 million yen> debt on his shoulders.
His days were an endless cycle of exhaustion. He worked as a <dancer for VVIP lounges>. By day, he worked at a <maid café>, swallowing his pride to serve drinks with a smile. His best friend, <Han Jisung>, often told him to take a break-to rest. But rest wasn't an option when debt collectors were at his door.
THE MEETING THAT WOULD CHANGE FATES
Minho didn't know it yet, but his life was about to be pulled into a world far more dangerous than any debt collector's threats. He was about to step into the path of Hwang Hyunjin-a man who had never feared anything.
And when the two collided, **there would be no turning back.**
[COMPLETED] Minho and Jisung were best friends, until they decided to stop denying their feelings and start dating. Everyone would tell you how beautiful it was. How in love they were. But if they were so in love why did they break up? Why did Jisung disappear after and run away from it all?
Four years later, the two ex's meet unexpectedly at a club. A highly popular club that Jisung owns. The two were older now, mature but still didn't have the closure one would need.
When they were younger they told each other everything, not a secret they didn't know about the other but now they had a lot. Secrets that could keep them apart or push them together.
