Restricted Zone

After the war, the nation was divided into four sectors: the City, Safe Zone, Administrative Zone, and the Restricted Zone — where your district defines your class.

Seventeen years ago, an incident dropped Kang Jinha overnight from the highest social tier to the very bottom.

Now, he works as a gang member in the lowest zone and services VVIPs at an elite club.

One day, Yoo Yigeon — Executive Director of Yoo Kang Group, the world’s top defense company and the most powerful figure in the City — shows up in front of him.

Through coercion and persuasion, Yoo Yigeon forces Jinha to take his hand, and together, they begin to dig into the hidden truth behind the tragedy that occurred 17 years ago — a past that entwines them both.

As they pursue the culprit responsible for that long-ago disaster, something unexpected takes root: feelings they never anticipated for each other.

Character Info

⌗ • Gong (Top)

⌗ • Yoo Yigeon (31 years old)

195 cm tall, with jet-black hair and piercing gray eyes. A stunningly handsome man with the air of aristocracy — but his personality is pure arrogance.

He’s the heir to Yoo Kang Group, the world’s leading defense corporation, and is on a personal mission to uncover the truth behind the tragedy that struck his family 17 years ago.

To do that, he needs Kang Jinha — and forcibly brings him to the City.

To Yoo Yigeon, Kang Jinha was just a tool: someone to use and discard once he outlives his usefulness.

That’s what he believed. At first.

“Mr. Kang Jinha, did I pamper you a little too much? Did you think we were equals?”

⌗ • Soo (Bottom)

⌗ • Kang Jinha (26 years old)

188 cm tall, with black hair and deep, pitch-black eyes. A classically handsome man with a decadent aura — and a cynical nature that trusts no one.

Though he works as a host and club manager under a gang syndicate, he’s ex-military, with a hardened body and lethal combat skills.

He’s reluctantly pulled into Yoo Yigeon’s schemes because the truth Yoo Yigeon seeks is tied to the death of Jinha’s own father.

Their relationship began with a contract and mutual benefit — and Jinha thought that was all it would be.

Until he saw the heat simmering in Yoo Yigeon’s gray eyes, directed only at him.

“Executive Director, have you ever slept with a man? Ever felt drawn to one, sexually?”
