   Summary

   Thanos is a young, up-and-coming underground rapper with more ego than money and a knack for stumbling into chaos. When he's made to perform in the small dingy club called Pentagon, he gets promised VIP lounge and free substances, but what he gets is beating and stolen pills, but maybe shit's not all that bad, because at least he gets to spend time with a particularly filthy-mouthed and endearing club promoter who seems to be in the same shits as him.

   AKA Thanos becomes a regularly occurring artist at a trashy club, somehow keeps coming back, and maybe falls for Namgyu who doesn't make it easy for him
