   Summary

   "Don’t drink it. I think something might be in it.” The stranger leaned into his neck and whispered by his ear. Inho's hand stilled on his gun's holster by the quiet command. It took him a few seconds to register what he just heard. ‘Was his drink poisoned?’ He could hear his own heartbeat rising along with his anger and… fear? ‘How could he be so careless?!’

   Or: The story starts when Inho's life is saved by a stranger and when he thinks that is the last time he is going to see him, the destiny (or just Gihun's stupid decisions!) proves him otherwise. And the story goes on with Inho wondering what he should do with this weird detective that keeps causing him troubles!?
