Geum Seong-je.

Seongje and Gotak had a past, you could say... a very twisted and messed up one. Seongje and Gotak were friends. They really were. Until Seongje joined the syndicate. Why did Seongje throw away their friendship? To become a worthless lapdog for Baekjin? Yes. I guess that's it.

Seongje and Gotak started talking a little in high school. Gotak went to Eunjang. Seongje thinks that's pathetic. Although Seongje chose an interesting school. Ganghak was the most popular. Ganghak didn't play basketball or any other similar sport. He combined it with martial arts.

So Baekjin was getting annoyed. He wanted to. No. He needed Baku to join the syndicate. When Baku refused? When anyone refused? You start attacking the people they care about. Then you have them. So what? Baekjin couldn't just leave the person with a little beating. No. He needed someone who could do the job. Leave them with something permanent. Broken limbs worked for Baekjin. Then maybe Baku would join. And the line between Baku and Baekjin was always there.

Gotak.

The line that separates seongje from a fucking real reaction.

Gotak got beaten up after his basketball game. The truth is, Baekjin broke his kneecap. But Seongje could have stopped it. Nothing like that ruthless, cold-blooded wolf.

How did Seongje get that nickname? He remembered fighting Gotak, who told him he fought like a wolf. That gave him an idea. A name people would recognize.

Gotak and Seongje's next encounter was unexpected. It happened at the convenience store. Seongje was feeling a bit bored that day, so he bought a couple of bottles of soju and some ramen. Then Gotak appeared. Seongje snorted and smiled mischievously, putting down his ramen and chopsticks.

—Hello, little puppy. What are you doing here?
