Summary
SUMMARY
Gamblers have an unusual way of making calculations. Human collateral, who never enjoyed the borrowed money, end up repaying both debt and interest. For the past 15 years, Hongjoo has been living this harsh reality, collecting House gambling debts while being collateral for his fatherβs debt. One day, a man named Mukyeong, known to all House residents as The Patron, shows up with an offer to invest in House. Mukyeong proposes a suspicious deal: Hongjoo can repay his fatherβs debt by providing information on House residents.
βYouβre thinking Iβm a con artist right now, arenβt you?β
βNo, Iβm not.β
βSure you are. Itβs written all over your face. Just one look and a gambler like me can tell.β
A gambler, huh? It beats seeing these same old faces any longer. For the first time in his uncertain life, Hongjoo grabs onto this chance at freedom. It may be risky, but heβs going to try. Itβs not like a better opportunity is coming.
