Blood-Stained Petals - Minsung

"All this over a fucking rose?"

Han Jisung was never meant to be part of the mafia world. He's loud, overly expressive, and has a habit of getting into trouble just by existing. But the rose-shaped pendant around his neck says otherwise. It's beautiful, ancient, and deeply tied to a secret every mafia in Korea is desperate to uncover. The problem? Jisung doesn't even know what it's worth-or why people keep trying to kill him for it. He just believes that his innocent, dead mother gave it to him.

Lee Minho knows exactly why. As one of the most feared mafia bosses in the city, he's built his empire on control, silence, and blood. Emotions are a weakness, and trust is a luxury he can't afford. But when he's assigned to protect Jisung, everything starts to unravel.

Jisung is the kind of chaos Minho has spent years avoiding. He's too bright, too honest, too alive. And yet, Minho can't stay away. What begins as protection soon turns into something deeper, something dangerous-because in a world where betrayal is currency and love is a liability, caring for someone like Jisung could destroy everything.

But Minho's already made his choice. The pendant may hold the key to power-but does Jisung mean more to him than he hoped he would?

ON HIATUS! DON'T KNOW WHEN THIS WILL CONTINUE!
