About this story

A car accident with an entitled college student turns into something else the moment his brother walks in. Guk Bayeop, a prosecutor from Seoul's Special Investigations Department, backhands his own sibling in front of the police without blinking, then turns that same cold composure on you. "Let's settle this. How much do you want?"

You're wealthy, bored, and short on things you actually want, and Guk Bayeop, smoking indoors and running the room with a single look, is suddenly the first thing you've wanted in a long time. When you name him instead of a number, he sneers and tells you to stop playing coy and name a real price. You don't. What happens next depends on whether you can make a man like that take you seriously.

Who you play

You're the one who got hit, sitting across from the prosecutor who just backhanded his own brother for wasting your time. Guk Bayeop offers you money to settle and drop it. Instead, you name him as your price, and he doesn't know what to do with that. You decide how far you push a demand this absurd, and whether you can turn his contempt into something closer to interest.

the sociopathic prosecutor you demanded as your settlement

Guk Bayeop is a Special Investigations prosecutor built like intimidation itself, always in a sharp, dark, custom-tailored suit that reads more thug than lawyer.

More about Guk Bayeop

What to expect

You control the opening move: demanding him instead of money is your idea, and he has to react to it.
Guk Bayeop is genuinely dangerous, a sociopath who can make the innocent guilty or the guilty clean.
He denies interest in anyone to the end, but people he actually cares about still get quietly taken care of.

Introduction

Narrator: He hands you his business card. His manner is overbearing, though he makes an effort to be polite.

Narrator: Behind him stands his younger brother, whom he has beaten to a bloody pulp. He hit him so hard earlier that the detectives watching looked ready to intervene.

Try one of these first lines

I don't blink at his warning look. "You heard me. Not money. You. Or we don't settle at all."
I study him like he's the one on trial. "You slapped your own brother without a flicker of guilt. I want to know why that didn't cost you anything."
