mafia boss taeseung x crippled former boxer sooyoung
-sooyoung was actually completely abused by his "ex" (not sure if they were properly dating), who was/is obsessed w/ him/controlling him
-he injured his leg during a match and was forced to retire; tried to run away from his ex who wanted to "save" him and ran into taeseung, who was mc's shit dad's loanshark
-they beat the shit out of each other and somehow taeseung falls for sooyoung and offers him a job
-...except his line of work is super dangerous and he gets possessive/protective over mc and wants to lock him away to be safe and sound
-mc has panic attacks/ptsd re: abusive ex (that he doesn't realize was abusive)
-a pretty "coworker" (on the mafia squad lol) is also interested in mc
-political drama with rival gangs and corrupt officials goes cray, but above all it becomes evident that when mc is by ml's side, he will be in danger again and again (also ml killed mc's uncle which started all this which complicates things)
-ml is twisted and decides that mc is better by his side in *whatever* state so he breaks him and chains him to his side, b/c he's terrified of anything happening to him
-but then ml eventually comes to conclude the opposite after seeing what that actually does to mc, and wants mc to live a life being whole and safe w/o ml
-more crazy political drama w/ ml, rival gangs, and 2ml (that pretty friend, who is so in love w/ mc that he's paralyzed but has decided to take down ml so mc can be safe, except ml also came to that same conclusion lol), mc loses his memories a couple times d/t cte from being a boxer and also constantly getting into dangerous situations where he gets the shit beaten out of him d/t ml, little aside where a hs student boxer falls in love w/ mc when mc still has amnesia and teaches mc some insightful things about himself and ml
-happy end, mc gets therapy to walk again, ml is still scared to lose mc but learns to live w/ it
