Synopsis: Hiver

Lee Hyeon's day was no different from any other. That is, until Ku Seung-Hyuk, whom he had parted ways with nine years prior, made an appearance. *"Did we run a hole-in-the-wall joint here too? I had no idea. Never thought a guy like you'd sell your ass for cash.“* Appearing as the owner of Nexus, the club where Lee Hyeon worked, Seung-Hyeok spat out venomous words the moment they met, glaring at Lee Hyeon with eyes full of disgust, as if he'd seen something filthy... *”But why are you looking at me like that? It hurts. I'm offering you a good opportunity, a friend I haven't seen in ages."* As if proving the saying that misfortune always comes in threes, disaster swept through Lee-Hyeon's life after meeting Seung-Hyuk, and their connection, thin as a thread, remained unbroken despite constant threats of severance. *“If you need money, just say so. Are you desperate enough to need money earned by beating people up?”* Did you look at me with eyes full of disgust like that back then too? What kind of face, what kind of gaze did you have... That old connection clung stubbornly, binding Lee Hyeon. *“...Long time no see, Ku Seung-Hyuk.”* (Source: Ridibooks, translated)
