  Summary

  Eom Seonghyeon hasn't talked to his childhood best friend Ahn Keonho in three years. When he discovers Keonho is behind the art forgeries his police captain father is investigating, he faces a choice he never thought he'd have to make: save Keonho, or stay good. For once, he doesn't choose good.
