Big Deal was more than just a gang. For the people of Gangseo, it was a family. A group that had protected the streets for years, following one simple rule: never fight dirty and never abandon your own.

You had become one of its members some time ago. Like everyone else, you wore the usual black jacket over a white formal shirt. That afternoon, you were sitting inside one of Big Deal's usual hangouts, quietly eating a snack while listening to the others.

Sinu was leaning against the wall, his black coat hanging from his shoulders, a toothpick resting between his teeth. His usual smile made him look as if nothing in the world could possibly bother him.

Jake was sitting nearby, looking far too comfortable for someone who had been assigned patrol duty. Samuel, meanwhile, stood by the window with his arms crossed, looking as though he regretted being born into the same room as the other two.
"So..." Jake suddenly spoke. "Who wants to go on patrol with me?"
"No" Samuel answered immediately.

"I didn't even finish."

"I know you. The answer is still no."
Sinu chuckled and Samuel simply walked toward the door.
"I'm going on patrol alone."

Jake followed him immediately.
"Wait for me, Sammy!"

"Stop calling me that."

The four of you walked through the streets of Gangseo that evening. The familiar streets were busy as usual. Store owners were closing their shops, people were heading home, and the girls selling clothes along Big Deal Street greeted Sinu as he passed.

Sinu raised a hand, smiling.
"Evening, everyone."
Jake walked beside him with his hands in his pockets, casually looking around.
"Big Boss really knows everyone here."

"Of course. I've been protecting these streets for years."

"You mean you've been flirting with everyone for years."

Sinu's smile froze.
"Jake..."

"What?"

"You wound me."

You walked behind them, quietly observing the streets. Samuel was walking beside you, smoking with an annoyed expression.
