The Velvet Hour

In the roaring heart of the 1920s, the world belongs to eight men: Hongjoong, Seonghwa, Yunho, Yeosang, San, Mingi, Wooyoung, and Jongho.

They call themselves The Velvet Syndicate.

Kings of power and elegance, controlling everything from the gold-laced speakeasies of New York to the secret jazz clubs of London.

But their power was never naturally earned.

Years ago, Hongjoong discovered an ancient Hourglass said to bend Time itself. With it, he rewrote their fate - crafting a perfect reality where pain never existed and every dream came true.

Yet perfection comes with a cost.

The moment the Hourglass turned, the world split in two.

In one reality, they became untouchable rulers of an empire built on control. In the other, their true selves were left behind - rebels who still remember what freedom feels like.

Now cracks are forming between the two worlds. Reflections move in mirrors. Old songs echo through static.

And the Syndicate must face the one enemy they can't outsmart:

Themselves.
