"No." He did not. He looked at Minjun in confusion and then shoved his hands in his pockets. "You're a threat. Your very existence is a threat. Like Jiho. Like Tae. If you want me to not see you as a threat, go jump off a bridge." Kangwoo had been told repeatedly - never trust a potential rival. And he didn't.

He tried not to dwell on the fact that Tae reacted for Jiho but not himself, he supposed he expected it. Not like he cared or anything. Once they were in a spare room, he shut the door and leaned against it. No way out. "People want you to get involved. Even my fucking abeoji..." Bastard. He didn't regret knifing him. He didn't like to admit it, he'd never admitted it before it was true. "He never wanted me to rule, he would have done anything. Why do you think he had Jiho in the first damn place?"
