The only person who offered him shelter was Choi Soo-Gyeom, a gangster known for his loyalty, generosity, leadership, and striking beauty, making it natural for Ja-Seong to admire him as his \*hyungnim\* (older brother/mentor). However, as Soo-Gyeom's absences grew more frequent and tensions between the \*Jecheonpa\* and \*Ilgeumpa\* gangs escalated, suspicions arose.
