"Did you win some?" Hongju was dragged to the table against his will. The can of coffee he was holding was snatched away by Koo Bbing, who then handed it to Mijin. "I lost. These guys didn't go easy on me, even though I'm a newbie." "These worn-out card sharps are planning to rip off an innocent citizen." Koo Bbing chuckled and took Mijin's coat. He didn't forget to sweep up the pile of bills on one side. "I'm going to Gwangpal's, I'll drop you off on the way. Hey, Mijin's friend, get your…-

"...I told you, I didn't do anything like that." As Hongju moved his lips, the blood seeping from his cracked lip couldn't mix with the ointment and soaked into the creases. "Something to be proud of." Chuckling, he finally let go of Hongju. As his footsteps receded, Hongju exhaled the breath he had been holding. His mouth tasted bitter from the ointment. "Huh? He's going in." Doksa muttered under his breath. As if he had been watching from the window, Koo Bbing also came out of the room at…

Glancing at the pharmacy where Doksa had disappeared, he quickly approached the car. He leaned down and spoke through the open window. "Koo Bbing is setting up a game. He's trying to lure you in. He's going to lose all his money anyway, so don't play. He'll leave a seat open on purpose, but don't sit there even if they ask you to. It's a trick to make you a sucker." "Hey, take a breath while you're talking." Leaning on the steering wheel, Mookyeong said nonchalantly. His broad back rose and fell…

Koo Bbing seemed completely oblivious to the fact that Mookyeong was watching him. If the atmosphere shifted even slightly, he would notice in an instant. Hongju spoke up urgently. "What if we get caught? What if he says he's going to withdraw his investment like last time? Won't things get out of hand?" "He may have invested in a gambling house, but he's a greenhorn who doesn't know the first thing about gambling. He's probably only played a few rounds of cards at most. He probably wouldn't even…

It wasn't just Hongju who read between the lines. Koo Bbing, who had paused, turned his body towards Doksa and sat down, as if ignoring him. "The guy you brought, I've never seen his face before. Have you seen him before?" "No. That's why I told you to stay still. Why didn't you just fold then?" "If you had knocked him out before that, I would have cleaned him out! It's because you were being so slow!" "Well, then you should have done it yourself. What am I supposed to do if you don't stick to…

"Why bet a p-person?" "Because I'm money, and money is me." He shrugged and placed another card down. Hongju looked at the newly placed card with a sullen expression. The March card, and... "....." '光' written in the left corner. Hongju's hand was a 3-8 gwang pair. It was the highest hand in the hierarchy, capable of sweeping most pots. Hongju glanced up at Mookyeong. He only checked his cards and then placed them face down on the box again. "Let's say we're done betting since neither of…

When Mookyeong let go of the shirt collar he had been holding, Hongju lost his balance and fell on his butt. The sight of him sprawled on the floor in a disheveled state was utterly pathetic. "I thought, since you were so late, that you two were having a go at it." Chuckling, Mookyeong raised his cigarette in the air. Thump, the fallen cigarette ash landed on Hongju's sneaker and crumbled. Mookyeong bent his knees and lowered himself. Hongju watched him without even blinking, and Mookyeong didn't…

"Let go." "I'm not asking for money out of greed." Mookyeong chuckled and heartlessly brushed off the hand clinging to his coat. "Let go. It's my fault for leaving the fish with the cat. I forgot you were a card sharp too." "I, I don't deal cards. I just filled in for a bit." "Oh, is that so?" Mookyeong dusted off his coat as if shaking off something dirty and headed for the chair. He settled down on the neatly placed handkerchief and crossed his legs. The toes of his shoes were so shiny…

"Learn the passcode." Hongju slowly pressed the numbers on the door lock. 989796. After pressing the star key at the end, he made sure Doksa was watching properly. "Yes, yes, Hongju." Doksa nodded. Unlike the other gambling house employees, he had a gentle way of speaking. Instead of the usual careless calls like "Hey," "You bastard," or "Hongju!", he always addressed him politely as "Hongju." Unlike the other employees who had already confirmed his age and started speaking informally, Hongju…

Every time he ran his tongue over the inside of his torn mouth, he tasted the coppery tang of blood. Mookyeong just let out a low laugh instead of answering. Perhaps interpreting his silence as hesitation, Koo Bbing started to speak more earnestly. "Hongju's remaining debt is a little over 2 billion, you know? Since it's Boss Mookyeong, I can let him go for 2 billion, no extra charge." A sudden, chilling silence descended. It was the kind of silence where the shouting and laughter coming from the…
