    Summary

    As they enter the small, nearly dilapidated building, the strong scent of blood, sweat, damp wood, and gunpowder hit their nostrils. Quick yet careful steps welcome them, several men aiming guns right at their faces.

    Inside the Tsar kneels in a rather pitiful state—arms and thighs bound by chains, bruised, half-naked body stained with blood, mouth gagged with a red-stained cloth. Lacerations, seemingly old and new, break and bleed. Beside him Mr. Dmitri is in a similar situation—except he is only bound by ropes of Manila hemp.

    Their eyes widen as they see them, the Tsar’s ice gray eyes bright with shock.

    At the corner of his eye, Alec watches the (lack of) reaction of the man beside him, waiting for an order. Verbal, or otherwise.

    He says none. His pale, handsome face remains smooth, dark eyes betraying no thought or emotion.

    After a beat, in a voice colder than the raging winter outside, Attorney Leewon Jung says, “You made quite an unnecessary mess for an insignificant transaction, good sir.”

    or, how jung leewon’s heart slowly frosts in the height of a storm.

    Summary

    “Where am I?” he demanded.

    Leaning against the door frame, Seungho decided to humour the small furious puppy for a peculiar reason. “You are in the royal palace, young master. ”

    It was the stranger's turn to scoff. “Sure, and I suppose you’re the king.”

    Seungho hesitated. Anyone with a lick of intellect could put two and two together, yet this young man had somehow done that and discounted it entirely—and scornfully so. Raising a hand, he tapped the golden sangtugwan that he knew still held his hair in place. “Something like that.”

    All it takes to ruin the careful equilibrium of a non-relationship is a handmade cup, a pixelated screenshot, and Megumi's family.

    Summary

    Atsumu has a long history of pissing people off, but this time he’s gone too far. Someone wants him dead, and although he doesn’t know who or why, it becomes clear very quickly that both he and Osamu are in danger. After a couple of close calls, Kita - the Kumicho of Inarizaki - decides it’s not safe for the two of them to stay in Hyogo; not until he finds out who placed the hit and eliminates them.

    Atsumu reluctantly finds himself in Tokyo, taken in by a yakuza group that’s nothing like Inarizaki. The Black Jackals are a different breed, more lethal than he’s used to, and Sakusa Kiyoomi is the worst of them all. Of course that’s who Atsumu gets stuck with, and he and Sakusa are in constant competition for who hates each other more.

    Tokyo should be a safe haven but between Atsumu’s bloody new assignments, the lingering threat on his life, and all the days trapped with Sakusa, Atsumu isn’t sure he’ll make it out of Tokyo alive.
