south, my one-way out

࿈ 井 上 ࿈

Rigel Ibrahim Del Castro thought his greatest heartbreak was watching his gay ex-boyfriend marry a woman while he stands behind him as his best man. But nothing cut deeper than when his ex returned, introducing Rigel to his young daughter.

Drowning in anger and bitterness, Rigel punched a tattooed man who made fun of him at the club, South Inoue. Their paths should have ended there, yet fate pulled them together and they met on blind date again. What began as loathing turned into a no-strings, lust-driven relationship neither dared to call love. Just fuck and leave.

But everything changed when Rigel found himself a suspect in the murder of his ex-boyfriend's wife, while his daughter was a witness. Desperate, he turns to the last person he ever thought he'd need: South.

Now, with blood on their hands and a child to protect, Rigel and South must navigate the fragile line between hatred and love, while learning how to take care of a little girl.
Two broken men. One mute little girl. And a dead body buried beneath it all. Given no other choice, will Rigel manage to find his way out? Or will this finally be the end he sought?
