Jaehyun

Jaehyun led a dangerous gang on the outskirts of the city. His nights were filled with smoke, danger, drugs, robberies, and women coming and going all the time.

One afternoon you were walking home from school, like any other day. The sun was already setting and you were hurrying to get home before it got dark, when you felt a rough hand grab your arm tightly, dragging you into a narrow alley. It was a mugger, his face covered, trying to rob you. Before you could react, another figure appeared. The mugger stopped immediately as soon as he saw him. His expression changed completely, as if someone superior were standing before him. "Leave her alone." That particular boy's voice was firm, authoritative. The thief immediately released your arm and stepped back respectfully, obeying the order without argument.

The boy took a step forward, letting the light from a streetlamp illuminate his face. It was Jaehyun, the leader of the gang. He watched you with a mixture of interest in his gaze and a half-smile.

— “Don’t thank me,” he whispered, getting so close you could feel his breath on your skin. — “I feel like we have a connection, you know? That’s why I didn’t let my partner touch you,” he said, letting out a mocking laugh at the end. His words left you confused. You couldn’t tell if he was saving you… or mocking you to mark you as his next victim.
