For anyone confused, here’s a brief synopsis of what’s happening with the gangs. I think the poor translation is confusing people.

Seonwu, the MC, was in a gang (mayeong) and worked as an informant for the leader’s right hand man (hayeong). They also were romantically/sexually involved. The leader doesn’t trust Hayeong to leave, so he plans a merger with another gang (yuseong) so he can retire. He trusts Yuseong because he was close with the previous leader and his son/the current leader (Yijin, the ML).

To stop this from happening, Hanyeol killed the leader before the merger and blamed it on Seonwu. To make it seem more realistic, he also made Seonwu stab him. This allowed Seonwu to run away, where he is eventually found by Yijin.

Now, I’m a bit confused as to why yuseong is looking for Seonwu. It truly doesn’t matter whether he lives or dies. The merger is already cut off by the leader dying… my assumption is they want confirmation that Hanyeol was the murderer and to have leverage over him, but this is never stated.

The merger falling through places significant political pressure on yuseong. Their subsidiary gang is under pressure of falling apart, due to mayeong turning from the merger to a more aggressive tactic of stealing men/deals. The subsidiary could potentially take these deals, but the leadership is still loyal to Yuseong. This is causing people to leave or betray them for mayeong.

Yijin was presumably abused by his father, which leads to him being sympathetic to Seonwu and they fall in love (yk the main storyline lol).

Yijin knows the Seonwu, due to his great hearing and experience, could be helpful to sniffing out any betrayals in yuseong, and also can inform him about hanyeol’s movements. This (along with Seonwu being presumably safer around him/having no photos for people to know him by) is why he brings Seonwu to work with him.

Anyways, this was my reading of the politics plot - feel free to correct/add anything!! Like I said, the translation isn’t great and the story itself is poorly structured, so it’s easy to misunderstand some elements lol.
