LD#2: The Underboss

Built to protect the empire... even if it destroys his soul

Three years in Italy on a medical school scholarship, and she felt completely invisible. As a full Korean student in a foreign country, akala niya masyado siyang kakaiba, perhaps even plain. No suitors, no grand romances, just endless study hours and a quiet, lonely routine.

Until he crossed her path.

He was undeniably masculine, effortlessly charming, and laging napapaligiran ng tawa at maraming kaibigan. He seemed like the perfect, ordinary guy-except kung saan-saan niya ito nakakasalamuha in the most unconventional, bizarre ways. She didn't know much about him, but his magnetic energy was enough to completely consume her.

Tired of just watching from afar, she decided to rely on Newton's third law of motion: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Doing nothing would yield nothing. If she wanted a reaction from him, she had to make the first move. Bahala na. She stepped into his orbit and initiated the chase.

But when the laughter fades and the friendly crowd disappears, the mask drops. Behind the smiles lies a world ruled by blood, silence, and terror. Ang lalaking nagustuhan niya ay hindi isang ordinaryong mamamayan. He is the Underboss of a ruthless, lethal mafia.

Any normal woman would run. Ang sinumang matino ay mabilis na lalayo.

But she is already too deep, masyado nang nahuhumaling sa presensya nito para umatras. Instead of fleeing the danger, she chooses to do the unthinkable: itataya niya ang lahat masundan lang ito.

Because when you are completely intoxicated by the Underboss, kahit ang pinakamapanganib na mundo ay magiging tanging lugar na gusto mong pangarapin.
