The Thread Never Burned

Jo Jiwon is just your average college kid—well, except for the part where he scams people by pretending to be a shaman. Thanks to his silver tongue and some lucky guesses, he gains a reputation as a spiritual powerhouse.

Unfortunately, word gets around… all the way to Jeong Tae-oh, a superstitious mob boss who actually believes in that stuff. When Tae-oh shows up demanding help, Jiwon pretends to take the job—then immediately tries to run. Too bad he gets caught.

He wakes up in a sketchy motel, staring death in the face. Thinking fast, Jiwon blurts out:
"Y-you need me as a talisman! To stay alive, we have to… sleep together!"

He’s sure a tough guy like Tae-oh would bolt at the thought.

Instead, Tae-oh just shrugs.
"You should’ve said so earlier. Is once enough or do we need more?"
