“For someone raised so delicately, the smell of cheapness suits you quite well.”

Adopted as an aek-ba-ji and subjected to all kinds of abuse, Yeohan nonetheless endured for many years while holding onto affection for the family that adopted him.

One day, in place of his family who skipped town leaving only debt behind, he is dragged to an illegal gambling and fighting ring called ‘Thirty Block.’

“Hey.”

“……”

“Didn’t I tell you not to look so scared? Guys like me get even more turned on when we see that. Huh?”

As he endures one-sided beatings, accumulating only scars on his body and soul, he meets a fearsome man named Cheon Beomju.

Yeohan’s gaze is gradually drawn to this man who seems to wish for his swift death, yet sends him to the hospital; who seems indifferent, yet is tender in some ways.

“You trash, you fucking, perverted bastard…”

“Yeah, I know. That I’m a trashy, whorish bastard.”

“Euk, eugh!”

“Find out for yourself just where and how this trashy whore has been rolling around. Check it carefully with your hole.”

While enduring Cheon Beomju’s bizarre interest, Yeohan learns the truth about why he was always an outsider in his family and that the target of Cheon Beomju’s revenge is his family.

In the end, the two end up in the same boat under the name of revenge, and Yeohan begins a one-sided love for this dangerous man…
