Summary
Balancing work and home life can be difficult. Especially if you're a Detective with a less-than-legal hobby you've been trying to hide for as long as you can remember.
Subin matches that description- the youngest detective in his precinct, who enjoys a strange hobby that could get him in a lot of trouble if he were to be caught. He's gotten good at the balancing part. Building up a partnership with Chan, the best detective on the squad, and keeping him close had become second nature, as had convincing all of his friends and colleagues of his harmlessness. But then a stranger comes into the precinct one night, blood and dirt under his fingernails, and confesses to a murder Subin knows he didn't commit. He knows this because the real perpetrator had been Subin himself. The boy's false confession puts him behind bars, out of Subin's reach, and then the precinct's favourite delinquent shows up to stir the pot, and leads to the reopening of the case.
This is the story of how Subin is assigned the case of one of his own murders, and how every step of the way he tries to keep Chan off of his scent, control the informant whom he shares far too much history with, and keep his secrets hidden.
